"..."
The audience on the Sabaody Archipelago were discussing animatedly, their emotions completely ignited.
"Straw Hat Kid, you've really taken the limelight."
Kid, the number one of the new generation of Supernovas, looked at the big screen with a serious face. He also hadn't expected that Straw Hat Luffy would actually rescue Ace. He and Straw Hat Luffy were from the same generation of pirates.
Now, seeing Luffy take the limelight, he was naturally unconvinced in his heart. However, what Luffy had done made him have to accept it. This wasn't something that ordinary people could do.
"That kid has good luck." Killer said.
Kid said, "This isn't just luck. Straw Hat Kid will definitely become an important enemy of ours in the future. We absolutely can't underestimate him."
Killer said, "I think the reason why that kid was able to rescue Fire Fist was completely because of the help of the 'Death God' and the Whitebeard Pirates. Otherwise, he wouldn't have much hope of moving forward."
Kid said, "That's true, but if Straw Hat Kid didn't have the ability, Whitebeard and the Death God wouldn't have covered him."
"Interesting, he actually rescued Fire Fist!"
Hawkins the Magician looked at the tarot cards in his hand, and sighed, "He succeeded even with such a small probability."
"Ooo, abababa, after escaping, the New World will be even more exciting." Apoo "Roar of the Sea" laughed and said.
Drake, Capone Bege, and the others were also looking at the big screen in surprise, and at the same time, a look of vigilance was also revealed in their eyes, because the potential that Straw Hat Luffy had shown had completely surpassed them.
As Supernovas, they were all arrogant people. Being suppressed by Straw Hat Luffy of the same generation naturally made them feel unconvinced in their hearts.
"He succeeded."
Rayleigh took a sip of wine, and also revealed a look of praise, saying, "That kid Luffy is not bad, but Akira is really amazing. In this kind of battlefield, the ability and role that he displayed is really too strong."
Shakky said, "Rescuing him is a good thing, but what follows is the key. How are they going to escape Marineford? Navy Headquarters has prepared for so long, it's impossible for them to leave so safely. I'm afraid what follows will be a real life-and-death battle. I don't know why, but I always have an ominous premonition."
Rayleigh said with a solemn face, "I also have this kind of premonition. Sengoku and the others definitely won't let the Whitebeard Pirates leave. Speaking of which, the Navy's high-end combat power hasn't lost too much until now.
Now they've been forced to a dead end. If they let the Whitebeard Pirates escape, they will lose all face, so they will definitely fight desperately. Be careful!"
After Akira and the three of them rushed out of the flame passage, they saw a large group of Navy soldiers surrounding them. Before Akira could take action, Ace and Luffy excitedly began to take action. Ace's Flare-Flare Fruit ability was indeed very good. Plus Luffy, the surrounding Navy soldiers simply couldn't resist the two of them. A gap was quickly cleared.
"Ace, Straw Hat Kid, you two go first. Quickly leave this place. I'll hold the line."
The key to this war was rescuing Ace, so after rescuing Ace, it was time to retreat. Akira saw further than anyone else, and also knew what to do at this time.
Ace didn't refute. He had clearly seen Akira's strength on the execution platform, so he didn't have any doubts about Akira's words, saying, "Okay, I understand."
Saying that, he pulled Luffy and quickly fled.
"Whitebeard Pirates, quickly retreat, retreat to the bay!"
The surrounding pirates shouted loudly. They weren't idiots either, and naturally knew that now was the best opportunity to retreat.
The pirates quickly took Ace and them backwards. The Navy soldiers were desperately chasing behind them.
Just at this time, suddenly a giant pirate ship rushed in quickly from the bay. This was a paddle steamer. Even on land, its speed wouldn't be too slow. The giant ship body headed towards the gap in the plaza. He wanted to block the gap with the giant pirate ship, preventing the Navy from chasing the pirates.
"Everyone, quickly take Ace and escape, leave this place to me!"
Squard on the bow of the ship shouted loudly. His ship was big enough. If he really blocked the gap, it would indeed be able to prevent many Navy soldiers from chasing, and might also be able to create a good environment for the pirates' escape.
However, Squard's ship hadn't reached the city wall yet, and was blocked. The person who had blocked him was Whitebeard. They saw Whitebeard use just one hand to block the giant pirate ship.
"Pops!"
The pirates were looking at Whitebeard in surprise. The Navy soldiers were also very shocked, shocked by Whitebeard's power. How terrifying power was needed to block a pirate ship with one hand?
Whitebeard roared angrily at Squard, "Squard, don't you know how unfilial it is for a white-haired person to send off a black-haired person? Also, you didn't hit me at all. There's no need to have a sense of guilt. Everyone has a time to die in their sleep."
Speaking to here, Whitebeard suddenly shouted, "Our goal has already been achieved. There's nothing for us here anymore. All of you, listen well. Whitebeard Pirates, from now on, I'm issuing the final captain's order!"
"Pops, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Pops, why are you saying such depressing words? We want to return to the New World together!"
"Pops!"
Akira also suddenly turned his head, looking towards Whitebeard's direction, a look of disbelief revealed in his eyes, because of his appearance, Whitebeard had also been injured, but he was much better than in the original story, completely not reaching the point of being on the verge of death. He didn't understand why Whitebeard would still say these words.
But he didn't know that only he himself knew his body best. After this war, Whitebeard had clearly realized how bad his physical condition was. Although the injuries he had suffered now weren't enough to kill him, he knew that even if he escaped, with his wounded body, he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
More importantly, he didn't want to escape, and couldn't escape. At this point, he had already seen the whole situation clearly. The Navy would definitely not let them leave safely. Even though they had rescued Ace, the Whitebeard Pirates were still weaker than Navy Headquarters in terms of combat power. If they fought desperately, the Whitebeard Pirates would definitely be defeated in the end.
So, Whitebeard wanted to use his last strength to open a path for his beloved sons, letting the family that he treasured escape from here, and return to the New World, even if it meant sacrificing his life.
"Pops!" Marco, Jozu, Thatch, and the others were also looking at Whitebeard in surprise.
Marco and the others were retreating while fighting. At this time, they were also about to withdraw from the plaza. However, their opponents weren't simple, so they were all injured. Marco wasn't Akainu's opponent in the first place, and the enraged Akainu was even more powerful, suppressing Marco very badly. Thatch and Jozu were a little better. Fighting Aokiji didn't have too much danger.
Whitebeard ignored the crowd's shouts, and continued to shout, "You will part ways with me here. Everyone must return alive, and return to the New World safely."
"Pops, what are you saying? Are you going to die here?" The pirates shouted anxiously.
Whitebeard raised his hand, and shouted loudly, "I am a remnant of the old era. The new era has no ship that can carry me. If you still recognize me as your Pops, and aren't willing to disband the pirate crew, then from today onwards, my son, Newgate Stone Akira, will be your new captain!"
"Akira, I'm leaving the pirate crew to you. Take everyone back to the New World safely. This is Pops's final wish!"
The last sentence was shouted at Akira. Whitebeard's tone was filled with expectation and desire. Leaving the Whitebeard Pirates and his family to Akira was the best result he thought of. He believed that Akira would definitely be able to manage the pirate crew well.
"Boom!"
Using all his strength, Whitebeard punched the air fiercely. Countless cracks appeared in the atmosphere, and the entire Navy Headquarters shook. Countless buildings collapsed under Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit power.
"Pops!"
