87 Conclusion of the Battle

The words fell, and the audience fell silent.

The pirates were stunned by Whitebeard's words.

They were still thinking about what Whitebeard would do with Bullet just now, pondering whether he would spare or kill him.

They didn't expect Bullet would be asked to be his son in a blink of an eye.

Is this some kind of father-son bonding?

"Bullet won't agree, won't he?"

"Of course not! He's the Pirate King's former crew member, known as the Devil Heir. How could he agree to such a request!"

"The strong have their pride. It's not easy to get a powerful individual in the New World to agree to such a thing. It's better than just killing him!"

"If Bullet doesn't agree, will Whitebeard kill him?"

The pirates whispered among themselves.

At the same time they are looking at Bullet, wanting to know what his choice is.

Bullet lying on the ground was silent for a while, and finally struggled to stand up: "Since I have said it, I will definitely do it. From now on, I will carry the name of Whitebeard and continue sailing the seas!"

He has always been a trustworthy person.

After losing to Roger that year, he boarded Roger's ship as agreed.

Lost to Whitebeard today,

And it's a convincing defeat.

so..

He is willing to abide by the agreement!

"Whitebeard Oyaji!"

Under everyone's shocking gaze, Bullet yelled this sentence.

The people who thought that Bullet would not agree were all left dumbfounded. They stared at Bullet with unbelieving eyes.

He accepted?

They just thought it was impossible for Bullet to agree, given his pride as a strong individual, to lower his head under someone else.

Whitebeard, who they thought would be rejected, would end up killing Bullet.

In a blink of an eye, the result was completely opposite.

Bullet agreed?

"With Bullet joining the Whitebeard Pirates, their strength will rise to even greater heights!"

Beast Pirates Disaster, Jack, had a solemn expression on his face.

When he learned that Katakuri joined the Whitebeard Pirates, it already surprised him.

Now there's another strong person joining the Whitebeard Pirates.

Two more strong individuals at once, one of them being at Admiral level. Just thinking about it makes Jack scalp numb.

"Fufu Heehahahaha~"

"The Whitebeard Pirates' strength has completely surpassed the other three emperors. Starting today, the New World has only three emperors and one King of the World!"

Doflamingo opened his arms and laughed wildly.

Before that.

Although Whitebeard is known as the king of the world.

But more because of winning the Summit War of Marineford, he far surpassed the three other emperors in fame.

But with the addition of Douglas Bullet and Charlotte Katakuri...

The strength of its division commanders, crew, and fleet captains is now far ahead of the others!

So, Whitebeard has truly earned his new title.

"The king of the world?"

Hawkeye thought for a while and found that this title is indeed suitable for Whitebeard.

Exactly! Whitebeard's power and reputation have now surpassed even the legendary Rock D. Xebec during his prime. He truly deserves to be called the "King of the World" in the New World.

"It looks like we have another brother."

Marco grinned.

"Yeahhh!"

The other division commanders exchanged glances and burst into laughter together.

"Luffy, did you see that? This is the strength of the old man!"

"It's too early for you to make a name in the New World. You should stick with the old man's crew for now, sail together for another year or two, and train your strength."

Ace said while smiling

"Um!"

Luffy nodded.

He witnessed the supernova's defeat against Katakuri just now

Realizing that he is not strong enough, he understood that continuing to sail into the New World was not an option for him.

So when this matter is over, he will find a way to inform Zoro and other crewmates, let them practice for two years, before reuniting at the Sabaody Archipelago.

Katakuri on the side originally wanted to say something, but before he could say it, he realized that something was wrong: "A lot of footsteps?"

He quickly turned his head, looking in the direction of the approaching footsteps.

"What's wrong?"

Marco and others asked suspiciously.

"There are a lot of footsteps in the distance, and they are constantly approaching here. If I'm right, there are at least more than a thousand of them!"

Katakuri spoke in a deep voice, expressing his concern.

"More than a thousand?"

The surprise was evident on Marco and the others' faces.

As Katakuri was known for his mastery of Observation Haki, Marco and the others had complete trust in his ability. If he said there were over a thousand approaching, they knew it must be true.

They quickly turned their gazes towards Whitebeard, wanting to hear his decision on the matter.

"Oyaji, there is a problem approaching!"

"Guurarara~"

"Is Marines coming?"

Whitebeard also used his Observation Haki to sense the situation, and indeed, he could hear the sound of rushing footsteps.

"What?"

"Marines is coming?"

"Maybe they found out about the Festival, so they want to arrest us?"

The pirates were surprised by the unexpected turn of events.

The moment the words fell.

A panic shout came from a distance, and the sharp-eyed people suddenly noticed a large number of cannonballs flying in the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The shell fell and exploded violently.

The hot flames rose, and the smoke billowed into the sky.

Some unfortunate pirates were hit by a cannonball and screamed in pain.

"Marine is coming!"

"Run! Don't get caught, or you'll be sent to Impel Down!"

"Damn it, with the scale of that attack, it seems like the entire Marine headquarters is coming!"

The shouts and scolding sounded constantly.

Those pirates who have average strength were terrified, and rushed toward outside of the island one by one, wanting to escape from here.

"Time to go!"

Hawkeye whispered.

He drew his sword and slashed at the sky with incredible speed.

Zhhiiing~

The fierce light blooms.

The slashing arc, as bright as a light, rose to the sky, destroying all the incoming cannonballs.

After finishing the blow, he didn't stop and turned to leave.

"Heehahahaha~"

"Marines received news of the decisive battle between Whitebeard and Bullet, so they want to take this opportunity to kill Whitebeard!"

"Maybe this is the second Summit War after Marineford, which will be staged soon!"

Doflamingo Donquixote laughed wildly.

He didn't want to leave the island anymore.

After speaking, he jumped up and moved to a safe place.

He didn't want to leave, instead, he wanted to witness the outcome of this war.

"Damn it!"

"How could the Marines arrive so quickly!"

Byrnndi World and Jack the Drought's faces changed drastically.

Not daring to stay, they immediately headed towards the island port, ready to leave by ship.

"I, who knows the final answer, should also leave!"

Issho closed his eyes tightly, and then disappeared in one direction.

In a short while.

The place became empty, with only Whitebeard, his crew, and a bunch of injured supernovas who had not yet left.

Whitebeard and his crew did not care about the arrival of the Marines.

But the supernova were different.

They were badly injured and not strong enough to forcefully break through the Marines' encirclement.

If a large number of Marines land on the island, a few supernovas will definitely be arrested.

Ever since,

One by one, they looked at Whitebeard with blank expressions.

Seems to be saying

'Please, don't abandon us! You can still save us. Take us away with you before you leave!'
