Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

Someone has to stay behind to cover their retreat. Whether they can survive or not is up to fate.

Before going to the battlefield, they were all mentally prepared for this.

Dad must think so too.

The battle is almost over, let’s end it with a thrilling battle.

Reiner: I am a peaceful person and I don’t like fighting!

Chapter 218 Chapter 216 Sengoku: I looked at the fruit illustration, Reiner: That's fine.

Boom! !

Suddenly, the whole of Marinford shook violently.

Those sailors who were chasing like mad dogs had to spread their legs and stick the tips of their knives into the ground to steady themselves due to the earthquake.

Some even fell to their knees, using their hands and feet, or fell flat on their faces.

"what happened!"

"It's that man!"

"Whitebeard is going crazy!"

All the navy stopped and looked in horror at the man standing in the center of the earthquake, as if he was a towering figure!

Whitebeard's extremely violent punch blew up the space, making all the attention of Marinford focused on him.

But he didn't stop. He took a heavy step to the right, half-crouched, and then suddenly jumped high into the air.

Feeling the strong wind blowing across his face, Whitebeard felt an unprecedented frenzy!

A translucent mass of air that contained violent power and distorted the surrounding air tightly wrapped around the Kusukimi blade.

"Goo la la la!"

He grinned fiercely, looking arrogant, but without his former high spirits.

Whitebeard held the end of the Kusanagi sword in one hand and raised it high, then swung the sword downwards like a dragon's tail!

Stupid! ! !

The sound of the sword that echoed throughout the venue exploded in everyone's mind!

Like a translucent sword curtain falling from the sky! The earth was instantly split open into an abyss that went straight across the entire battlefield!

boom! ! !

Violent and continuous vibrations spread across Marinford, and the expansion of the cracks almost split the island in two!

What's even more amazing is that with this move, the two generals who were in fierce battle were instantly intercepted, and Aokiji and Kizaru were separated in front of the abyss!

"Marco!!"

boom!

Whitebeard roared and fell from the sky, slamming his feet heavily on the ground, standing alone in front of the crack!

"Dad!"

"Dad, what are you going to do!?"

Marco and others roared loudly, but the tall figure looked desolate in their eyes.

"Take everyone and retreat, Marco. Let daddy protect you one last time."

Whitebeard grinned, with only a hint of sadness flashing across his eyes that no one could see, and his voice was low and gentle.

"You must be kidding, Daddy!!"

"Don't do anything stupid!!"

"I will never leave until my father leaves!" Marco's arms ignited with green and yellow flames, which turned into wings and flew up. "Even if I die, I will die with my father!!"

"How can a father let his children be buried with him! That would be a disgrace to my Whitebeard's reputation!"

boom! !

Whitebeard yelled angrily, hammering the air with his arm backwards, "Get back here Marco!"

The atmosphere shattered like a mirror, and the strong vibration instantly blasted the opponent back!

Marco rolled twice on the ground, gritted his teeth and got up, pursed his lips and stared at Whitebeard's back.

The back that always made people feel safe and reliable would one day appear so sad.

"Death is not the end of human beings! Dad, I will never die!"

"Gul-la-la!!"

boom!

Whitebeard laughed loudly, slammed the long hilt of the sword in his hand to the ground, and announced loudly:

"Everyone listen up!!"

"From now on! Marco is officially appointed as the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Hearing this, everyone stood there in disbelief.

The pirate group that has always had only one father and a group of sons now has a vice-captain.

This means that the only elder will no longer exist.

"I do not want!!"

Marco knelt on the ground and roared loudly, tears streaming from his eyes uncontrollably, "Without Daddy, what is the Whitebeard Pirates!!"

"That's right, Daddy!!"

"Daddy, don't do that!!"

Ace, Joz, and Vista all burst into tears.

once Upon a time.

They are nothing more than a group of homeless stray dogs abandoned by the sea.

Until this man appeared, like lighting a torch in the eternal night, driving away the endless darkness bit by bit.

It was Dad who gave them a second life and a family.

Here they are recognized and feel the warmth of family. Here they have everything they have ever longed for.

"please!"

Marco buried his face in the ground and cried, "Don't say that again, Dad."

"My stupid sons, this pirate group never existed because of me. It is because of you that this family is so precious."

Whitebeard looked up and looked back at his life.

He doesn't like to fight with others. Being at the top of the ocean, he has no interest in the great treasures that others are flocking to.

All I want in my life is my family.

Along the way, from Marco, Joz, Vista, Sachi, to the most stupid and most likable fool Ace.

They laughed and made noises together on the boat, fought side by side, then divided the spoils with curses and drank heartily.

Every scene is unforgettable as if engraved in my heart.

"How can you let your journey end here?"

"Dad's life has been wonderful enough, but you are just getting started."

Whitebeard turned around, looked deeply at Marco, grinned and said:

"Keep everyone alive, my deputy captain."

“——Woo woo!”

Marco pursed his lips and sobbed, the dirt was tightly grasped between his fingernails, and hot tears flowed down his face like rain.

"I--!"

He wanted to cry and scream but he couldn't.

But he didn't.

Marco covered his face with his hands, tears streaming down his face, and he screamed to the sky: "——Yes!!"

"Dad!!"

"Everyone retreat!!"

At this moment, everyone lowered their heads with tears in their eyes, and the silent sobs seemed to be bidding farewell to that magnificent figure.

The abyss before my eyes seemed to separate life and death, an insurmountable boundary between yin and yang.

"Why is this happening!"

On a ship in the distance.

Ace's eyes were bloodshot. He knelt on the ground and struggled desperately, gritting his teeth and tearing out bloody words with a hoarse throat.

"Why!"

boom!

"I'm the idiot who should die!"

boom!

He kept banging his head against the deck, as if hoping to use the physical pain to cover up the grief in his heart.

"Don't be like this, Ace." Luffy pursed his lips, his arms and legs tightly wrapped around him, looking at Ace who was in so much pain but didn't know how to comfort him.

He couldn't imagine how painful it would be if this happened to him.

Although he was extremely reluctant, Marco still suppressed his grief and led everyone to evacuate the square.

However, how could the navy just watch them leave like that?

They will not change their actions because of that kind of emotional drama. Their position dictates that they must do their best to defeat the pirates!
