The most courageous pirate hunter

Marco's gaze was resolute; he was prepared to give his life to ensure his father's safe departure, no matter what.

The other captains also understood Marco's meaning and fully agreed.

"Kula la~"

“I am not so weak that I need my son to cover my retreat.”

A loud laugh suddenly came from behind. Whitebeard walked out of the wooden house, holding Murakumogiri in one hand and tearing off the feeding tube from his body with the other. Behind him were several beautiful nurses with anxious expressions.

"Dad~"

When Whitebeard appeared, all the pirates seemed to see their leader, and the previous panic instantly subsided.

"I didn't expect to meet you so soon."

Whitebeard felt incredibly heavy-hearted.

Sensing several rapidly approaching auras, two of which were quite familiar, and with the addition of the younger generation like Sakazuki, he feared he was destined to perish here today.

"Dad, you should leave now!"

Marco's expression was serious, and everyone else looked at Whitebeard.

They know what's going on.

Given Old Man's personality, he would definitely intend to stay here and create an opportunity for them to leave. Similarly, they also wanted to cover the retreat and negotiate conditions for Whitebeard to leave.

Everything was understood without being spoken aloud.

"Kula la~"

Whitebeard met the gazes of everyone around him, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

How can this be good?

"Let me protect you one last time!"

A moment of silence.

Whitebeard's lips curled up in a smile. At this moment, he was not the Whitebeard who reigned supreme, but a very simple and ordinary father.

"Dad."

Some pirates couldn't help but get teary-eyed.

But more than anything, there was determination.

"Dad, you've always been the one protecting us, now it's our turn to protect you."

"Correct."

"I still remember the first time I met my dad."

"Dad, as long as you are alive, the Whitebeard Pirates will never disappear. Only if you are still alive can we have a chance to save Ace."

"Father, I know that Whitebeard will always die standing up and never live on his knees, but now you must live."

The captains surrounded Whitebeard, all trying to persuade him.

"Kulala!"

"I have already possessed the most wonderful wealth in the world, and as a father, it is impossible for me to abandon my children."

Whitebeard's feelings were mixed. After carefully looking at those familiar faces, he didn't give Marco and the others a chance to speak. He crouched down slightly, and with a burst of mud and sand, he leaped towards the shore.

The supreme and terrifying Conqueror's Haki pressed down on Sakazuki and the others at that moment.

Boom Kaka~

The cloudless sky suddenly became filled with lightning and thunder, and countless black and red lightning bolts flew terrifyingly in mid-air. Everyone could feel the resolute aura of the white beard.

"As the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, I order you, Marco, to immediately retreat with all your crew members. Once the Hunter King is returned to Ace, Ace will become the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates."

As long as you live, I, Edward Newgate the Whitebeard, will never disappear.

"Kula la~"

"Garp, Zeff, Sakazuki brat, are you ready to take me down with you?"

A chilling, all-or-nothing killing intent echoed through the sky.

"Dad!"

Seeing Whitebeard charging forward with the resolve to die, Marco and the others were moved to tears, crying and shouting.

Some even rushed forward.

"Stop right there, everyone! Retreat immediately!"

Marco knelt on the ground, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the distance, suppressing his grief and stopping the crew members who wanted to rush forward.

"Are we just going to watch Dad...?"

"Didn't you hear Dad's orders?"

Marco roared, for his father had just given the order as captain.

"retreat."

Vista, Joz, and the others clenched their fists tightly, their eyes filled with tears.

"hateful."

"Navy, if you dare to hurt my father, I will raze the Navy Headquarters to the ground."

"Ahhh~"

All the pirates roared in anger and resentment, suppressing their grief as they quickly retreated.

Here.

As soon as Sakazuki and the others landed on the island, they were suddenly struck by Whitebeard's words of mutual destruction. Their hair stood on end, because Whitebeard was not joking.

Immediately afterwards, they saw the white-bearded man, like a god or demon, wielding the Murakumogiri in both hands. A dense pressure shield was wrapped around it, tearing through countless cracks in the atmosphere and radiating black and red lightning as it pressed down on them like Mount Tai.

"Damn it."

"Oh no, Whitebeard is going to fight to the death."

"That's really scary."

"Are you going to go all out right from the start?"

Borsalino was covered in cold sweat, and Chaton and the others were even more stiff-faced. Whitebeard's ferocious appearance was too terrifying, and they really wanted to go to hell with him.

"Be prepared for people to die here!"

Garp and Zephyr took the lead, not daring to underestimate them in the slightest, because they too might end up meeting Sengoku in the Western Paradise.

"He's just a white-bearded man; nobody's going to escape today."

Sakazuki, his face fierce, was not intimidated by Whitebeard at all. He immediately charged forward with murderous intent, his right arm bursting with magma and gathering terrifying power.

"on!"

to be frank.

Sakazuki's fearless demeanor deeply shocked Onigumo and the others.

"Old man, you should have died long ago."

"The Great Spitfire."

They met in the air.

Murakumogiri collided with the giant lava fist erupting from the volcano, and unimaginable power radiated outwards. Sakazuki felt as if the sky had collapsed, and his right hand made a cracking sound as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He then transformed into a lava meteor and shot off into the distance, piercing through several mountain peaks in succession.

However, at this moment, Garp, Zephyr, Kuzan, and Borsalino also appeared one after another, launching their strongest attacks, which made Whitebeard laugh wildly.

The blood trickling from the corner of his mouth showed that he was also injured in the clash with Sakazuki.

"Garp, Zephyr, you two are really getting worse as you get older."

Whitebeard abandoned Murakumogiri, clenched his fists so tightly that the veins bulged, and the white pressure shield hummed as he blasted it to both sides. With the sound of the mirror shattering, the atmosphere within a radius of a thousand meters seemed to be covered with cracks.

The earth-shattering power erupted.

A vast mushroom cloud rose slowly, eventually engulfing everyone within it.

"Dad~"

On the distant horizon, Marco and the others turned back, tears welling in their eyes, to look at the mushroom cloud that swept across the clouds. They knew that this farewell might mean they would never see their father again.

Chapter 326 [On this vast ocean, who else can stop Jormungandr?]

New world.

Navy Headquarters.

Not long after Sakazuki became marshal, he moved the headquarters here, which was quite a bold move.

However, the results achieved were significant.
