Whitebeard and 'Father?'
The term father is very complicated for Ralph.
Before the age of five, when his family was still intact, he had a vague impression of it, those beautiful memories were still very clear.
But since his biological mother started working hard in the business world, the atmosphere at home had become more indifferent. Until his parents got divorced.
Although his father fought for his custody rights, Ralph knew that it was his grandmother who asked for it.
Every time he saw his father's complicated eyes he could feel a sense of alienation. Maybe his mother's decisiveness had hurt his father, so he was treated coldly by his father.
Later when his father had a new family, the coldness had become even more obvious. Not seeing each other became a liable way for both of them to deal with it.
Looking at the man in front of him who stretched out his hand to him, Ralph felt a kind of heartbeat after a long absence.
Although he already knew what kind of person this man is in the anime/manga, Ralph felt touched when he really reached out his hand.
The two hands slowly grasped each other.
…
"Sons, we have a new family member, so let's have a party!" Whitebeard smiled and gave the captain's order to everyone.
Everyone cheered happily, for men of the sea, battles, and parties always made them excited.
At this time, Ralph stood up and said, "No oyaji, we must leave immediately."
Whitebeard couldn't help but wonder "What's wrong? Is there any problem with this island?"
Ralph whispered to Whitebeard "oyaji you must know that I am from an organization called the Gotei 13. At my level, I am only a lieutenant and there are 13 captains above me.
Especially the captain standing at the apex of soul society, they are existences in a different dimension of their own. The battle just now must have alerted them, and if we don't leave quickly we will be in trouble. "
If he was afraid, then he wouldn't be Whitebeard that dominated the new world.
So he boldly said, "Gurararara! with me here there is nothing to be afraid of, cause I am a whitebeard!"
"I can't assume I didn't hear that."
As soon as Whitebeard's voice fell, someone spoke up in the air. Whitebeard turned around and saw someone standing in the air.
The newcomer wore the same clothes as Ralph, except that he wore an extra white haori. He looked very old, bald, with only two interlaced scars on his head.
The old man had a very long white beard on his chin, which was tied with a purple ribbon that hung on his chest.
Perhaps because of his old age, the old man was slightly hunched, and was holding a wooden crutch in his hand.
The old man's eyes narrowed, and no one could see his expression.
Ralph stood in front of Whitebeard and said in shock "Captain commander why are you here in person?"
The old man looked at Ralph and said in an unhurried tone "This old man sensed a dangerous aura, so I came to check. But what are you doing? Are you trying to betray the Gotei 13? Don't forget your identity!"
As he spoke, a terrible aura spread out from his body. What a terrifying aura, it was as if the whole world was shaking. Many members of Whitebeard's crew had difficulty breathing under this pressure.
When Ralph wanted to speak Whitebeard patted him on the shoulder and walked past him to face the old man in the air. All the suffocating aura was blocked.
"This kid is already my son, no one can take my family away. If you're willing to pretend you didn't see anything, you would be doing me a great favor!"
The old man looked unmoved "Impossible, he belongs here!"
Whitebeard clenched his Naginata tightly and shook his head "Then there is no other way, I said that no one can take away my family."
Ralph came to Whitebeard's side and said, "Oyaji, you must be careful. This is the captain commander of the Gotei 13, and his name is Shigekuni Genryusai Yamamoto. He is the strongest Shinigami in the Gotei 13 for the past thousand years. His Zanpakuto, Ryūjin Jakka is the strongest and oldest Zanpakuto of the whole soul society. Just the Shikai has the temperature of the sun's surface."
Whitebeard nodded. He had the confidence of the most powerful man in the world, but he is never arrogant in battle. Especially a reminder given to him by his family, he will not ignore it.
"sons, get back to the ship. This is a battle you can't participate in."
The authority of Whitebeard made everyone act quickly. The ones who could still move quickly pulled the unconscious ones back to the ship.
After everyone retreated the captain commander said, "Are you finally ready?"
Whitebeard smiled and said, "I didn't expect a stubborn old man like you was actually reasonable!"
"It's useless to say more!" Yamamoto retracted his hands from his sleeves, and then stretched out, The white haori and the shihakusho fell, and the old man's sturdy upper body was exposed.
Whitebeard saw the dense scars on the old man's body at a glance. He knew that it was the proof of his many battles.
But the most striking thing is the strong muscles that a normal old man can't have, which makes the captain commander look like a beast.
The walking stick that Yamamoto held in his hand shattered inch by inch, revealing a sword hidden in it.
"Reduce All Creation to Ash, Ryūjin Jakka!"
Yamamoto opened his squinted eyes after chanting and the long knife in his hand turned into a blazing flame.
On the Moby Dick, which was far away, Marko wiped the sweat from his head. A person with the ability of the fruit of the phoenix to a certain extent, also has a certain fire ability. But at this time, he was also shocked by the heat carried by the long flaming blade.
Facing Yamamoto, who was surrounded by fire, Whitebeard couldn't help but exclaim "What an energetic old man!"
Although I don't understand what a Zanpakuto is, the power coming from it was intense. He never treated the opponent in front of him as an ordinary old man. If he isn't careful, he may suffer.
The monstrous flames collided with a shock wave, and even the people on the Pirate Ship were choked by the shock wave.
"Look at the sky, everyone!"
Suddenly a pirate called out loudly. Everyone hurriedly looked, but they lost their voices in surprise.
they saw that one side of the sky was burning, while the other side was full of cracks. The battle between the two seemed to tear the sky apart.
Everyone was stunned by this devastating battle, and no one noticed that Ralphs' face on one side was getting paler and paler.
That's right, the captain commander doesn't really exist, everything is seen and felt by Ralph using Kyoka Suigetsu to manipulate everyone's senses.
A world's top powerhouse like the Captain Commander can only be exchanged by using a massive amount of invasion points, but he can't get it because he is poor and broke, and can only use Kyoka Suigetsu to temporarily fool them.
Kyoka Suigetsu is indeed a godly Zanpakuto, its ability to manipulate the five senses is simply unreasonable, even Whitebeard thinks that he is really fighting a powerhouse.
But Ralph overlooked a point, who was the original owner of Kyoka Suigetsu! That was the big boss Sosuke Aizen.
Kyoka Suigetsu is indeed extremely powerful, but Sosuke Aizen himself is even more powerful. In the entire anime, Aizen has never used his real power until later when he played everyone.
The four skills of the Shinigami Hakuda, Hohō, Kidō, and Zanjutsu. Aizen, has reached the peak in all of them, and his Reiatsu has reached the peak of what a Shinigami could go without special powers.
In the Thousand Years Blood War arc, Aizen shot down the Soul Palace with only his own Reiatsu, and he was restrained. If the Reiatsu of other Shinigami is a small pond, then Aizen's Reiatsu is a lake.
Therefore, Aizen can use Kyoka Suigetsu wantonly to play with a group of captain-level Shinigami's, but Ralph was almost sucked dry by Kyoka Suigetsu.
In particular, many people of the Whitebeard Pirates have mastered the observation haki, and it takes even more effort to trick them.
With such a big scene, Ralph was not sure how long he could hold on.
Suddenly, a figure fell from the sky, and landed on the bow of the ship, it was whitebeard.
"sons, we are sailing now!" Whitebeard commanded loudly with his naginata in one hand.
Everyone performed their duties one after another, and the Moby Dick sailed toward the sea.
After everyone gradually moved away, the monstrous flames on the island gradually disappeared, and then the old man with the flaming sword disappeared.
