Chapter 45: The Fall (I)
"Ka!"
A cracking sound suddenly came out of mid-air, different from the previous subtle sounds, this time even the pirate navy who were filled with shouts of killing could be heard clearly, but no one turned their eyes to the air, because everyone was staring in the same direction with a stunned expression at this time - the direction where Whitebeard and the others and the Blackbeard Pirates were.

There, the flock of birds that had just blocked their view had dispersed, but this did not surprise them so much, what made everyone lose their minds was the appearance of the flock of birds after they dispersed:
The chest of the whitebeard who was sitting on the ground was already soaked with blood, and it was not the previous injury that caused all this, but the fist that was slowly being drawn from his chest at this time, a fist made of lava, and the owner of this fist was naturally Sakasky.
It turned out that after Sakasky was seriously injured by Whitebeard just now, and barely escaped with his life by elementalization, he neither fled back to treat his wounds, nor did he give up his plan to kill Whitebeard because of the sharp drop in strength, but turned into lava and lurked quietly in the cracks in the ground, just looking for an opportunity to kill with one hit.
As the holder of the concept of 'Absolute Justice', Sakasky, unlike Sengoku, does not care about the means used to kill his enemies, so even if Whitebeard dies at the hands of the Blackbeard Pirates, although it will cause some damage to the reputation of the navy, he is acceptable.
But if he can kill Whitebeard with his own hands, Sakasky will naturally be more satisfied, after all, killing Whitebeard by the admiral will bring countless tangible and intangible benefits to the navy, and this opportunity will come soon.
- Ace's Hundred Birds, it can be said that it is invincible to deal with those level6 prisoners who have never seen this trick, but even Tiki can come up with a way to crack it, his strength is much higher than Tiki, and he has the ability of the magma fruit, a devil fruit that burns the fruit, and Sakasky, who has cracked this trick again.
He didn't even do much, just relying on the camouflage of the magma form, he fooled the birds with little intelligence, and sneaked behind Whitebeard and Ace through the cracks in the ground.
After that, of course, he succeeded in sneaking up on Whitebeard and shattered Whitebeard's heart.
It is worth mentioning that he originally hit Whitebeard and Ace with both fists at the same time, but Ace was reflexively pulled away by Luffy on the side, but when he saved Ace and wanted to pull Whitebeard, it was too late.
Fear and anger made Luffy's head bang with a bang, only to see him roar angrily, and a shave rushed towards Sakasky.
If it weren't for his intuition that made him subconsciously pull Ace away, then Ace would have been punched by Sakasky by now, although he didn't know that Sakasky's punch could kill Ace who could be elementalized, but Whitebeard didn't see it alive, so it still made him angry.
In contrast, Ace was stupid in place, and the flock of birds that he was originally controlling gradually dispersed, until he heard Marco fall to Whitebeard's side:
"Daddy! Daddy, how are you...... Sakaski! I'm fighting with you! ”
Marco was just about to rush towards Sakasky, who was fighting Luffy, when he was stopped by Whitebeard:
"Horse ...... Erko, don't go, you're no match for him, and you're ...... There are more important things to do...... Bring everyone back alive, Daddy...... Dereliction of duty and failure to deliver...... The promise can only be relied on by you......"
"Dad, don't talk, we still have time to find a doctor now......"
Whitebeard waved his hand, but his face was flooded with abnormal vitality, Marco's heart sank, Daddy, this is the stage of returning to the light:
"Don't be stupid, it's impossible for you not to know, no one can save an injury of this magnitude, and I can survive so long thanks to these things......"
Whitebeard's eyes glanced down, and Marco followed his gaze, only to see countless tiny vines connecting to Whitebeard's feet, and Marco also felt that some energy was being transmitted along the vines to Whitebeard's body, and with the support of these energies, Whitebeard even picked up the naginata and stood up on the ground.
And his behavior immediately deterred the Blackbeard Pirates who were slowly approaching them, they didn't think that Whitebeard could survive after being so badly injured, they just didn't want to become the backing person that Whitebeard was looking for when he was dying.
"Gollum...... A group of rats ......"
Glancing at the Blackbeard Pirates who kept a sufficient distance from him to die and waited for him to die, Whitebeard ignored the men who were confused when he saw his injuries, he knew that the captains would appease them, and his gaze turned to Ace, who was full of self-blame and pain:
"Ace, my most relieved son......"
Hearing this, Ace knelt on the ground with a thud, and tears burst out instantly:
"Daddy! If it's not me...... If it weren't for me...... For a damn person like me, you wouldn't have been so badly injured, wouldn't it be nice for me to die like that, it's not worth it......"
"Hmph, don't talk nonsense, my dad came to save my son, what is not worth it, if it were someone else, I would do the same...... Gollum la la la...... Ahem...... Ace, let's live well...... This is...... Daddy I'm ...... At last...... The order of the ......"
"Daddy!!"
……
Ace's roar made the entire square instantly silent, and then all the members of the Whitebeard Pirates cried bitterly, and even many people in the navy lowered their eyes slightly, silently sending their respect to this respectable enemy.
After all, a generation of overlords died before the rescue operation was about to succeed, and when he died, there was no regret on his face, just a faint regret.
It's not that he regrets his hegemony, but he regrets that he didn't live for a long time, because in that way, he can enlighten Ace with words, instead of leaving only a command without a beginning or an end.
……
The world will not stop because of the death of a person, and the enemy will not have any mercy because of Whitebeard's death, just after confirming that Whitebeard is dead, Blackbeard's group, who had just carefully kept their distance, immediately separated several people, pulled out a black cloth that had obviously been prepared for a long time, and headed for Whitebeard's corpse.
Marco quickly fought with Hiryu again, but at this time the roles of the two were reversed, and it became Hiryu pestering Marco, preventing him from getting close to either Whitebeard's corpse and Ace.
Because at this time, except for Oka who was taking care of the injured Poison Q, the rest of the people were besieging Ace, who was still in a trance, and in a short period of time, several wounds had appeared on Ace's body.
