Even though there was an intimidating elite navy force in front of them, they were unable to suppress the man's aura. For a moment, it seemed as if the only sound in the whole world was the man's heroic laughter.
This man is undoubtedly known as the world's strongest fighter, Whitebeard, Edward Newgate.
Although the appearance of Whitebeard had long been calculated by Zhan Guo, when he really showed up in Marinford, Zhan Guo still couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
After all, that guy is Whitebeard. Even though he is old now, the old lion is still extremely dangerous. Having played the game of "Eagle Catches Chicken" with that guy for a lifetime, Zhan Guo knows very well that most of the time, it is the navy, a group of chickens, who are catching the eagle, Whitebeard.
Otherwise, why would Whitebeard withdraw all the high-level naval forces from all over the world? Even the masters from important branches in the New World and the underwater prison were withdrawn to the naval headquarters.
"Ace, my good son, are you okay? Are you not hurt?"
Ace, who was kneeling on the execution platform with his limbs tied, instantly raised his head and looked at Whitebeard with concern. Even though they were thousands of meters apart, the hearts of the father and son were reunited at this moment.
“Dad!!!”
Ace tried his best to shout towards Whitebeard, not because of the fear of death, nor to call on Whitebeard to come and save him, but the purest and ultimate outburst of emotion.
When he saw the worried expression on Whitebeard's face, the strong emotions that surged in Ace's heart at that moment were simply incomprehensible to others. It was an extreme feeling of being moved and passionate.
From childhood to adulthood, apart from his brothers, adoptive mother, grandfather, friends and Jiang Bo, who was both his teacher and friend, only this old man treated him the best.
The whole world wants him to die, but he won't!
Ace gritted his teeth, tears streaming down his face as he couldn't help but say, "Dad and everyone else...why did you idiots come to save me?"
Why did the Navy publicly execute him?
The whole world can see this. This is simply a deadly trap set by the navy for Whitebeard, using him as bait.
Why?
Why?
These idiots are walking into this trap! Why can't they just give up on me?
In order to save me, he trapped the entire Whitebeard Pirates into the Navy's deadly trap.
How can I ever repay such kindness, Dad?
"Oh, our little Ace squeezed the cat's urine! How rare! If I had a camera, I would definitely take a picture of this scene!" Phoenix Marco said to his brothers with a smile.
Nuo Qigao laughed: "This is rare!"
All the members of the Whitebeard Pirates burst into laughter.
Ace, who was far away, heard the hearty laughter of this group of people and felt uncomfortable for a moment. This was not a mockery, but the recognition and care of his brothers.
"Dad, Marco..." Ace knelt on the execution platform and yelled, "Just leave me alone!"
If someone has to die, I'd rather it be me.
"Grandpa...No, General Garp!" Ace suddenly turned around and struggled to crawl towards Garp, begging him at the top of his lungs: "Please kill me!"
The expression on Garp's face froze instantly. This was the second time Ace begged him to kill him.
"You bastard, do you think you are a hero? Even if I kill you, do you think they can get away today?" Garp was so disappointed with Ace that his eyes turned red. With a move of the Iron Fist of Love, he knocked Ace to the ground!
Ace's idea was too naive after all. Did he really think that if he was willing to die, the Whitebeard Pirates would be safe?
Impossible. This time, Sengoku was using an open and aboveboard strategy. Whitebeard versus the world's top naval experts, this situation was unbreakable. Aside from Whitebeard, the others' combat effectiveness, with the highest being Marco, was only at the level of an admiral, and more of a support type, not suited for destructive combat!
From the moment Ace fell on him, nothing could be changed. At this point, the war at the top was already inevitable. Even if Ace died now, the war was absolutely inevitable.
The chaos on the execution platform caught Whitebeard's attention. Seeing Ace's painful and struggling look, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.
As a father, isn't it his duty to save Ace when he is in trouble?
Since Ace and the others call him Dad, then as a father, he must fulfill his responsibilities. For the sake of his son, let alone just the Marine Headquarters, even the hellish God Valley War decades ago, Whitebeard is willing to experience it again.
Moreover, Whitebeard's physical condition has been deteriorating over the years. Even though he tried his best to suppress it, he was getting weaker and weaker. He knew that he was old after all.
He understood Ace, who was very similar to Roger back then. He knew that Ace's talent could surpass Marco's at any time, and that Ace was the leader who could truly lead the Whitebeard Pirates on after his death.
Marco, Joz and the others wouldn't compete with Ace.
He felt that this deal was extremely worthwhile, as he dragged his increasingly weak body in exchange for a future that would never end for the Whitebeard Pirates.
His life began with fighting and naturally, it would end with fighting.
"Ace, you stupid son, wipe the cat urine off your face and don't worry about anything. Dad will come to save you. As long as dad is here, no one can hurt my son." Whitebeard yelled at Ace, pointing the naginata in his hand directly in the direction of Sengoku.
This moment belonged to Whitebeard. He displayed his unparalleled dominance in front of the entire world, and all the audience in front of the screen were impressed by this gesture. This is why Whitebeard lived up to his title as the strongest man in the world.
He stabbed Cong Yunqie into the deck and reached out to grab the air with both hands. The space shattered into cracks like a broken glass mirror. Countless spider-web-like cracks quickly spread from his hands in all directions.
"Oh no, he's going to release a tsunami!" The lieutenant generals' faces changed drastically!
Whitebeard is an earthquake man. The fruit he eats is recognized as the strongest superhuman fruit, which can create earthquakes and tsunamis at will.
Finally, Whitebeard grasped at the air, tearing the entire space apart with his power. Cracks covered the Moby Dick. Behind him, a tsunami hundreds of meters high rose up. The calm sea in the distance suddenly rippled, and a slight tremor emanated from the subsurface, causing even Marinford to tremble slightly.
The tremors from the ground grew stronger, causing waves to surge across the ocean. In a flash, several massive waves split from the sea, tumbling across the surface and roaring towards the Navy Headquarters.
