One Piece: Burning the Prison Clothes in the Setting Sun, Mihawk is dumbfounded.

There's someone to rely on again.

Marco and his crew were overjoyed by Whitebeard's sudden return.

They had seen the news that Whitebeard had been sent to Impel Down by Dunn, but there was nothing they could do about it.

The only time you see news about Whitebeard is when he appears on Skypiea.

They thought that to see their father again, they had to go to the amusement park, and they had already begun to act on it.

As a result, the major event of declaring war occurred.

Such a major event left the Whitebeard Pirates unsure of what to do: should they join the war under the guise of a Hunter's Guild?

Then, the white-bearded man appeared in a door that seemed to appear out of nowhere.

"Dad!"

A group of people stared intently at Whitebeard, and the captains from the other pirate ships also rushed over.

Looking at the group of godsons in front of him, the white-bearded man had a complicated expression.

Just as Dunn had predicted.

Previously, Whitebeard thought that since he was the head of the family, it was only natural for him to protect everyone behind him.

But now it seems that he was indeed wrong.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Noticing the white-bearded man's expression, Marco's heart skipped a beat. He hesitated before speaking, clearly somewhat uneasy.

"fine."

The white-bearded man waved his hand.

"Dad, it's from Dunn..." Diamond Joz began, wanting to say that he had escaped back, but he realized that was not the right thing to say and swallowed the words back.

"I've been released."

The white-bearded man waved his hand, his expression unchanged.

"Gather everyone, there's an operation coming up," the white-bearded man continued.

Upon hearing this, Marco's heart skipped a beat, and he guessed what it was.

"Dad, are you going to join the war?"

"This is the exchange for my return."

Whitebeard nodded upon hearing this, without denying it.

"Should we attack Mary Geoise?"

Upon hearing this, the team leaders became excited.

If Whitebeard weren't around, they wouldn't have had such thoughts, after all, it's the World Government's headquarters.

But now that Whitebeard is back, these people suddenly feel like they're back in power.

Isn't it just an attack on Mary Geoise?

Get him!

With Dad's guidance, we're sure to reap great rewards.

"No, our goal is something like what happened in Wano Country before."

The white-bearded man shook his head.

"Father, you mean those demons? But didn't they disappear already?"

Marco was taken aback and asked instinctively.

They knew about what had happened in Wano Country, and Whitebeard knew about it too.

Furthermore, they also know that Dunn completely wiped out the entire Wano Country, which is now sealed off by the Navy, and Pluton is also there.

But those things should have disappeared completely along with Wano Country.

"That was manufactured; the person behind it hasn't disappeared."

Whitebeard thought for a moment, but didn't offer any further explanation.

"clear!"

Marco nodded and turned to look at the group of captains beside him.

"You've got to carry out your father's orders right now."

Marco's shout startled everyone awake, and they immediately sprang into action.

With the white beard around, these guys have a completely different spirit.

"It seems you're not doing well."

Seeing the others leave, the white-bearded man looked at Marco and said.

Marco looked embarrassed.

It's really not good.

The Whitebeard Pirates, with their white beards, are the true rulers of the seas.

However, without Whitebeard, the Whitebeard Pirates are just a group of decent pirates, but they are not much different from those who can establish themselves in the New World.

Now that Whitebeard had asked about it, Marco naturally felt embarrassed, as if he had let Whitebeard down.

"Dad, I..."

Marco lowered his head, a look of shame on his face.

Seeing him like this, the white-bearded man sighed inwardly.

Knew it.

Compared to Teach, whom I saw before, his courage and condition were significantly worse.

"Marco!"

Whitebeard called out, and Marco looked up.

"Dad, I'm not going to live forever."

"I'm sorry, Dad, I've let you down."

"I wouldn't be disappointed."

The white-bearded man shook his head. "Go, go prepare. We need to act quickly."

"yes!"

Marco could indeed detect a hint of disappointment in Whitebeard's words, but he perked up at Whitebeard's command.

But then, Marco looked at the white beard.

"Dad, what about your health?"

"It's much better than before."

Upon hearing this, the white-bearded man didn't hide anything. He raised his hand, clenched his fist, and the air exploded with a loud bang.

Upon seeing this, Marco's eyes widened suddenly.

It looks really good.

I haven't seen my dad like this in a long time.

Slightly relieved, Marco turned and left to deal with matters on the ship. The white-bearded man took a few steps, then turned and sat down under the thick mast.

The situation is alright; Dunn doesn't seem to have any intention of wiping them out completely.

Whitebeard pondered silently.

……

The sudden appearance of Whitebeard and Charlotte Linlin in the New World, and their subsequent departure at sea with their crew, sent shockwaves through the New World.

However, compared to the major events that are impacting the world today, the appearance of these two people is not particularly sensational.

But no one in the New World dares to underestimate them.

Especially those who clashed with the Whitebeard Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates after these two disappeared.

Not only these two, but Shanks, who had disappeared after a long battle with the Big Mom Pirates, also reappeared.

This message reached many people.

Under these circumstances, many people guessed that all three parties were going to get involved in this major event.

"Damn it, aren't those two guys in the amusement park?"

A burly, bald man with skin as black as steel looked grim, his golden wine bowl clenched into a discus in his hand.

"Boss, if these two come back, will they come after us?"

Hearing the burly man speak, the people around him all looked worried.

"To deal with us?"

The burly man's face turned ugly upon hearing this.

They had clashed with the Whitebeard Pirates several times before.

Why not just be a proper pirate and instead become a pirate hunter? Is he out of his mind? Does he think he's an easy target?

"If they dare to come, I'll tear them to pieces."

The burly man made a threatening statement.

Upon hearing this, the pirates around him all lowered their heads and looked at each other strangely.

The boss is bragging again.

But then the burly man fell silent, which puzzled the other pirates.

Normally, once the boss starts bragging, he won't stop until he's been bragging for a while. Why is he doing this now?

Thinking of this, the pirate who was familiar with the burly man slowly raised his head and looked at him.

Then, everyone instinctively took a step back.

Their captain, whose eyes were now completely black, exuded an ominous black aura that then returned to him.

Sharp canine teeth pierced the flesh on his face, making him look quite ferocious.

"Boss?"

Someone called out cautiously.

This sound seemed to startle a demon. The burly man, who had been sitting motionless, suddenly looked up, a flash of bloodlust in his dark eyes, and grabbed the head of the pirate who had spoken.

Snapped!

It sounded like a watermelon being smashed.

Red and white liquids were squeezed out from between the burly man's fists and splashed out.
