I'm a villain in the movies and TV series "All Heavens".

Chapter 265 My lord, are you really sure you can do it?

Upon hearing the questioning voice from Squard, Ace, who was weeping beside Whitebeard, was immediately filled with rage and filled with malice.

Without saying a word, he flashed to Squard's side.

Before he could react, a sudden flying kick struck the opponent in the abdomen.

"Ah...poof!"

Ace's kick, delivered in his rage, was almost at full power, instantly sending Squard flying, coughing up blood.

However, before it even hit the ground, a bright orange flame instantly ignited in Ace's hand.

"fire punch!"

Two blazing waves of fire suddenly erupted, rushing straight towards Squard, who was still falling through the air.

"Enough, Ace!"

Just as Squard was about to be severely injured by the two raging waves of fire.

A white shockwave flashed by, instantly striking first and annihilating Ace's two waves of fire.

"Dad, it's this idiot who betrayed you and caused you to be in such a miserable state now. Why are you still protecting him?"

At this moment, Ace's expression was ferocious, and his heart was filled with confusion and regret. He immediately questioned Whitebeard, who was lying on the ground.

“Ace, Squard may have made mistakes, but he was only temporarily misled. You are all Father’s sons, and you must never kill each other.”

"But……!"

"There are no buts. I'm already nearing seventy and will die sooner or later. Now that I can exchange my life for Ace, I think I've made a huge profit."

"By the way, Doflamingo helped us a lot this time. Without me here, you will definitely be coveted by many powerful enemies."

At this point, the white-bearded man turned to look at Mo Fei.

After forcing a smile despite the pain, he finally spoke to Mo Fei, who was not far away:

"Doflamingo, my Whitebeard Pirates have never had any dealings with you before, so why are you helping us time and time again this time?"

This matter has been puzzling me for a long time, and I hope you can clear up this doubt in my mind.

Upon hearing the white-bearded man's question, Mo Fei pondered for a moment before replying in a deep voice:

"My assistance to you this time can only be described as a matter of chance. I have never had a good impression of the Navy. On the contrary, I admire the close-knit relationship of the Whitebeard Pirates. Besides, I am also a member of the pirate crew."

If even you, one of the Four Emperors, can be easily wiped out by the Navy, then how can the rest of us ever live in peace? I, Doflamingo, understand the principle of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."

After hearing Mo Fei's words, everyone's opinion of him immediately improved significantly.

Among pirates, there are many selfish and self-reliant individuals, but it is truly rare to find someone who can distinguish right from wrong and is reasonable.

"Haha... What a fine saying, 'If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.' It is truly an unexpected joy that I, an old man, have encountered such a young hero as you on my deathbed."

At this point, Whitebeard glanced around at his captains, and after giving Ace a deep look, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Amidst the somber atmosphere, Whitebeard seemed to have come to some realization.

Especially when he saw Mo Fei, after answering the questions, directing the treatment of the wounded while ordering people to keep watch and guard against another naval attack, and arranging all matters, big and small, in an orderly manner.

The initial hesitation in his eyes gradually turned into determination.

...When Bucky and Shadow Knight's clones arrived with a captured naval ship.

The group of pirates waiting for rescue on the shore immediately entered a state of ecstasy.

As the group boarded their ship, set sail, and sailed away from the port of Kanrinfanta, Whitebeard gave his last order.

"After my death, everyone shall temporarily follow Doflamingo. If he is a trustworthy person, you shall repay him with your lives. If he fails to live up to your trust, you may find your own way out."

Whitebeard, who had been one of the Four Emperors for many years, deeply understood that a group of scattered soldiers could not accomplish anything.

In today's pirate world, there is no place for a lone wolf.

These pirates, who bear the Whitebeard Pirates' mark, will inevitably face the Navy's purge once they disperse.

However, Ace, on whom he had placed high hopes, acted too impulsively. In order to deal with the strong encirclement and suppression by the Navy, he had to find a leader for his subordinates.

Mo Fei, who had saved everyone's lives, killed the traitor Teach, and demonstrated extraordinary strength, was naturally the best candidate besides Ace.

At Whitebeard's request, the group led him to the ramming point of the warship that was speeding along.

As the biting sea breeze blew and the waves crashed against the bow of the ship, the white-bearded man slowly raised his head, laughed heartily with a hint of melancholy, and passed away.

Even at the moment of his death, his figure stood tall and majestic like a mountain range.

……

“Dad…!”

The captains of the Whitebeard Pirates, each with formidable strength, naturally sensed the passing of Whitebeard's life force and immediately shed tears.

Just then, a splash sound suddenly rang out from the stern deck.

When Mo Fei summoned someone to inquire, he learned that it was Squard who had just chosen to atone for his sins by jumping into the sea.

Upon hearing this news, the captains and Ace all showed expressions of regret, with Ace being the most remorseful.

Squard's death was deserved, though.

But Ace's earlier kick was the main reason that indirectly led to Squard's death.

"Gentlemen, since Squard is willing to atone with his death, he has not failed his father's kindness to him."

Next, we will inevitably face encroachment from the Navy and other forces coveting Whitebeard's territory. We must rise up and defend the land that our father built.

Mo Fei's words were immediately endorsed by all the team captains.

With Whitebeard around, although they were quite strong, their ability to control the overall situation was not outstanding.

Mo Fei's suggestion seemed reasonable to them, and with Whitebeard's dying words in mind, they naturally obeyed Mo Fei's orders subconsciously.

"My father has passed away. What we need to do now is to find a quiet and peaceful resting place for his body."

And then there's my father's Tremor-Tremor Fruit; I happen to have the ability to extract the fruit. Naturally, I can't let this fruit, which represents my father, fall into the hands of the Navy or other hostile forces.

I will now separate him from his body. Don't worry, this process will not damage your father's body.

Upon hearing that Mo Fei actually possessed the ability to extract Devil Fruits, all the pirate captains were stunned into silence by this information.

"My lord, are you really able to extract the fruit's power?"
