One Piece: The Will of Conqueror is the strongest!

Capturing Marco was easy; he and Jozu had been together the whole time, helping Jozu remove the black flames while also fending off the shadow clones' attacks.

During the battle with Newgate, Brando's wooden clone was constantly being depleted, but it was also being replenished. At one point, Brando burrowed underground and released a water clone, a clone made of seawater.

This clone, through the channel dug by the inorganic reincarnation, submerged into the water and arrived at Marco's side. After the shadow clone got close, the water clone self-destructed and turned into seawater. Then, the shadow clone used a water prison to capture Marco.

Next comes the discharge, plus the sea stone handcuffs.

Jozu, standing nearby, was subjected to the same tactic, and his shadow clone used lightning speed to handcuff him with seastone handcuffs.

Marco, a guy who specializes in only one area, is easy to manipulate. He's also someone who relies on a Devil Fruit, but he's far inferior to Kizaru.

Ninjas are beings who can overcome the strong with the weak; given the right information, they can defeat enemies far stronger than themselves.

"Marco!"

Newgate couldn't help but call out when he saw his beloved son in such a horrified state.

"Dad... I'm sorry."

Marco's arms and legs were broken, and his Armament Haki was not strong enough to break the Seastone handcuffs.

This injury is nothing to him; he can recover quickly with the power of his Devil Fruit once the seastone handcuffs are removed.

He apologized because he had become a weakness that limited his father.

"Whitebeard, kneel down."

Brando spoke very directly.

This is a classic scene of the Will of Conqueror, and it's the first time it's been used on anyone other than the Celestial Dragons.

"You bastard, Dad would never... Ahhh!"

Marco is still being stubborn.

He was shocked and his whole body convulsed halfway through his sentence.

"Stop!"

Whitebeard roared.

It wasn't that he didn't want to intervene, but he saw that if he did, Marco's head would be cut off, so he could only watch.

"I just want to see if the person who claims to value family the most is more concerned with their own reputation or their family."

Brando felt like he was utterly wicked.

But I don't know why it felt so good.

"No, Dad!"

"This guy has no chance of beating you, so he's resorting to such despicable tactics to target you."

"If you kneel down, Dad, I'd rather die!"

Marco truly treats Whitebeard like his own father.

When he said these words, tears and snot streamed down his face.

"That's really touching."

Brando himself couldn't help but applaud and praise.

If it were Doflamingo, he would also value his family, but if his interests were threatened, he would kill his family along with them, and then grieve, cry, and repent.

Soon, another shadow clone brought Diamond Jozu over as well.

This guy also had his limbs broken and was burned, but Brando removed the Amaterasu Flame, otherwise he would have been burned alive.

Marco's talent was not weak, but he was focused on studying medicine in order to repair Whitebeard's body, which was injured from constant battles. He neglected to train his Haki, which was not strong enough. Otherwise, Brando would not have been able to subdue him so easily.

"Alright, make your choice, the strongest!"

Brando's tone was sarcastic.

He felt that Whitebeard was somewhat hypocritical, as he had brought so many of his crew members to their deaths in order to save Ace, and that there was a difference between his sons.

If Whitebeard had gone to Marineford alone, Brando wouldn't have done what he did today. He just wanted to see Whitebeard's true colors, not that he was some kind of demon.

Whitebeard's eyes were bloodshot, his fists clenched tightly around the Murakumo-giri, and his heartbeat was very noticeable.

Is family more important, or one's own reputation?

This is different from begging someone to save your family members; this is bowing down to the enemy and begging for your family members to be spared. They are two different things.

"puff!"

"No!"

Whitebeard watched as Brando's shadow clone severed Jozu's right hand with a longsword formed from iron sand.

The Conqueror's Haki spread uncontrollably, stunning all the Dragon King Army members who were secretly watching nearby.

Brando felt like he was always doing the same things as blondie.

But I do seem to have golden hair?

Chapter 80: The strongest and family are all fake!

I will kill you!

Newgate's eyes were bloodshot.

He stared intently at Brando as he uttered those words; this was not a warning, but something that absolutely had to be done.

From the strongest promise.

"How terrifying! But who do you think you are? There are too many people who want to kill me. Go and get in line, you old fogies from the old days!"

"clatter!"

"Then please make your choice quickly, or you'll be beheaded next time."

Brando looked scared.

Then he snapped his fingers.

Following Brando's command, the shadow clones placed the sand iron longsword against Jozu and Marco's necks.

The two of them were now lying on the ground like dead dogs.

Brando felt no remorse for dealing with these pirates; his men had killed countless people.

"Kneel down, and will you let them go?"

Newgate remained silent for a long time before finally asking the question.

"of course."

“This time I’m telling the truth. I’m doing this just to confirm one thing: whether the family you cherish is just a way for you to comfort yourself, or whether you really consider them family.”

“One thing has just been confirmed: those ordinary crew members are not worthy of being compared to Marco and Joz. Now I want to see if you truly treat them like sons.”

Brando was telling the truth this time.

Even if he was the strongest, Brando felt that this old man from the old era couldn't get much reward from the villagers, but having the strongest kneeling in front of him would make him feel very good.

"No, Dad!"

Marco could tell that his father was wavering.

Like a husband caught in the act of murder, he looked helplessly at the white-bearded man with tears in his eyes.

Newgate's breathing quickened, and his knees were already slightly bent, but kneeling before someone like Brando felt incredibly humiliating.

Having experienced so many major battles, he never knelt before the enemy.

During the God Valley arc, he fought a fierce battle with Shanks' father and never bowed his head even when severely injured.

But now I have to talk to a blond brat...

Was his family merely a source of comfort, or did he truly consider them family...?

If Brando were to ask him to harm himself, he would probably agree immediately!

Brando remained unmoved by Whitebeard's struggles.

"You're so despicable!"

Compared to Brando, Nine-Tailed Fox felt that he was nothing like an embodiment of hatred; he was just an ordinary fox.

"Hehehe, this is exactly what I want to see!"

Shukaku was quite excited.

Seeing people struggling is like watching a mouse being toyed with in your hands.

"Boom!"

Newgate knelt down with his left foot first, slamming the ground and creating a huge crater.

"No!"

Marco's powerless call.

Joz, standing to the side, couldn't stop crying. He knew that it was because he was careless at the beginning and was restricted by the other party's ability that Marco was also captured.
