No, absolutely not!

"Pot lid hair..."

For some reason, Luffy, who was sleeping on Ace's back, heard those words clearly and sensitively.

He woke up, turned to look at Su Mu, and murmured:

"So all that power came at the cost of his lifespan? To save Ace, you, bowl cutter..."

"You don't have much time left... You want to go out and see the world..."

Luffy took a deep breath and suddenly gestured for Ace to stop.

"Luffy, what's wrong?"

Ace also turned around and looked at Luffy with a puzzled expression.

Luffy, having regained some of his strength, dismounted from Ace's back, stood up, took a deep breath, and shouted towards Su Mu in the distance:

Hey—bowl cut!!

Su Mu was also taken aback by Luffy's shout, and tilted his head: "What's wrong? Wang Luffy? You're awake? If you're awake, why aren't you running around shouting?"

Let's go on an adventure together.

Luffy said softly.

"Huh? What?"

"I said……"

Luffy put on his straw hat and raised his voice:

"Be my partner, let's go on an adventure to the sea together!"

"Didn't you want to see the world? I'm the man who will become the Pirate King! I'll definitely take you around the world and let you see everything!"

Luffy's words pierced through half the battlefield and reached Su Mu's ears, causing Su Mu to freeze in place.

Be my partner...

The phrase kept echoing in Su Mu's mind. He vaguely remembered the Straw Hat Pirates' daily life on the ship that he had seen on TV before he transmigrated.

At that time, he was still thinking that if he could join Luffy's crew, this kind of daily life would definitely be very comfortable!

But now, he truly heard Luffy inviting him to join his crew.

Su Mu took a deep breath, waved his hand, and the wings behind him suddenly bloomed.

He looked at Luffy with a serious expression:

"That's good, but I'm not going to get killed by you, am I?"

"Let's get this straight, Wang Luffy, I'm going to be boarding the ship soon, so you'd better protect me. I can't stand you messing around."

"Humph!"

Luffy suddenly grinned, revealing two rows of teeth:

"Don't worry! It's just a bowl cut!"

"Hey, it's okay, I was worried!"

Su Mu forced a smile. He didn't know Luffy too well; this guy just liked to mess around.

However, Su Mu thought that being Luffy's partner would truly provide him with a guarantee. Luffy values ​​his partners the most and would definitely protect him.

If he doesn't draw any powerful abilities, he'll really need someone to protect him.

How about... I kiss Ivankov? But wouldn't that get me dragged off to get married in "hell"?

Thinking about it, Su Mu glanced at Ivankov again and got goosebumps all over his body.

Damn, one bite of that and I'll be limp for three years! All desire gone!

"Hey... that kid! He joined the Straw Hat Pirates?!"

At this moment, someone below broke the silence, their voice trembling...

Chapter 26 The Blackbeard Pirates Appear

"Did you hear that? That kid agreed! He agreed to join the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"Breaking news! The kid who suddenly appeared during the Marineford War has joined the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"What?! The Straw Hat Pirates?! Do they still exist?! Weren't they wiped out by Bartholomew Kuma?!"

"You idiot! As long as the captain is still here, there's always a chance for us to make a comeback!"

"That's right, look at that kid. With someone this strong joining the Straw Hat Pirates, they'll only get stronger than before!"

"Although this kid's Devil Fruit ability has a time limit, his own strength is also formidable! That terrifying Haki!"

Hearing Su Mu and Luffy talking from a distance, the people in the middle were all shocked.

Such a powerful man joined the Straw Hat Pirates?!

"Is another pirate crew about to rise in the New World?! That kid's strength is comparable to the Four Emperors!!"

"Don't worry, everyone! Navy personnel, calm down!"

"That kid's lifespan is almost over, he can't be this strong anymore! Don't worry too much! The rest of the Straw Hat Pirates have already been wiped out!"

"Yeah, this kid has acquired so many abilities, his lifespan is almost over. He probably won't even have time to finish exploring the new world!"

After some thought, the navy members gradually calmed down. That kid couldn't possibly be this strong again!

Su Mu naturally didn't care what these navy men thought of him. What nonsense about not having enough lifespan? They were just bad at math.

The answer to that formula is over a hundred years. He's right. He won't need Akainu to kill him; he'll die on his own.

He died of natural causes more than a hundred years later.

"Hey, Wang Lu... Oh, Luffy, you should run, the Marines are catching up."

Su Mu gazed at the navy vessels that kept crossing the rift and the remaining ones that had been on this side of the rift, and murmured something to himself.

"Yeah, but a bowl cut."

Luffy pressed down on his straw hat: "You have to survive, that's my captain's order."

"Oh!"

Su Mu nodded.

Luffy naturally wouldn't stop Sumu from staying behind to cover their retreat. Even though Sumu had become his crew member, he understood that it was Sumu's resolve, and he couldn't destroy that resolve.

I suppose Su Mu also has things he wants to do.

If Su Mu was forced, Luffy would risk his life to rescue him without hesitation.

Without thinking, Luffy turned and ran, but the feeling of powerlessness still lingered. So, once again, Ace carried him on his back as they ran towards the cape.

"Straw Hat Boy... Damn it!"

Out of the corner of his eye, Akainu saw Luffy getting further and further away and gritted his teeth in frustration.

He was squatting down and could no longer stand up; his body was already extremely exhausted.

"You don't have much time left, kid. That's for the best... Damn it..."

Akainu muttered to himself, trying to regulate his breathing. Right now, he was afraid that Su Mu would suddenly rush down and continue his attack.

But at this moment, Su Mu didn't pay any attention to him.

Instead, they turned their attention to the other side of the crack.

He clearly didn't want to focus his energy on Akainu anymore. Ace had been saved, and Akainu was severely injured. Now, he could only help Whitebeard!

Indeed, following Su Mu's gaze, Whitebeard, like Akainu, was crouching on the edge of the crack, panting heavily.

To everyone's horror, Whitebeard's body was covered in wounds and bleeding profusely.

On that shoulder, there was a huge slash wound, emanating a chilling aura.

Even the blue flames dimmed, threatening to go out at any moment.

Clearly, Whitebeard had given his all against this group of marines, but he was no match for them.

On the other side were marshals, generals, and various lieutenant generals.

Even now, Su Mu would be overwhelmed facing so many marines.

Whitebeard couldn't possibly stop all the Marines on the other side of the rift, but he still did his best to block more than half of them.

Furthermore, most of them are quite capable naval personnel.

This greatly aided the Whitebeard Pirates' retreat.

"Dad, we're almost at our limit..."

Marco's eyes trembled, and his legs felt like lead; he couldn't move an inch.

He almost impulsively stepped forward to help Whitebeard several times.

But that would not only shake the Whitebeard Pirates' resolve to retreat, but also betray the captain's orders.
