Although Luo's ship was a submarine, it did not dive, after all, there was still Marco scouting the surrounding situation. Soon, a fleet of ships appeared, the first to appear was the only remaining whale-like outer steamer, the flagship of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Moby Dick, had sunk in the battle, and four outer ships of the same type were also sunk, leaving only the last one.

Behind this whale ship are some of the pirate ships under the command of the Whitebeard Pirates, about a dozen, the number of these ships is 90 less than when it was combined, and it is obvious that the losses of the Whitebeard Pirates are extremely serious. And behind these pirate ships, there are several naval warships, of course, these warships are warships captured by pirates, and when they escaped before, many pirates also occupied several warships that surrounded them.

Fortunately, there are still a lot of pirates on the ship, because the retreat is relatively timely, and there are many people who survive. Especially the men on Whitebeard's main ship, there were fewer losses, and the captains all survived. As I said before, in order to cooperate with the strategy, the navy focused on attacking these pirate groups, resulting in heavy losses for them, and some pirate group members even had no one in ten.

However, no matter what, they survived, and not only that, but they also rescued Ace, that is, they won. But now the only thing they want to know is what happened to Whitebeard's father.

When they rescued Whitebeard before, everyone understood that Whitebeard's life was hanging by a thread, but their main ship sank, along with their medical squad and medical supplies, and when they were summoning what to do, Trafalgaro, who claimed to be a doctor, suddenly appeared in a submarine and expressed his willingness to save people.

After discussing it, they also trusted Whitebeard, and sent Whitebeard, who was more seriously injured, and Luffy, who was also seriously injured later, to Luo's ship. Marco followed, after all, he was also a doctor. And now they don't know what happened to Daddy Whitebeard.

The people on both sides quickly met each other, but after learning about Whitebeard's situation, everyone cried, Whitebeard's father, he couldn't fight anymore. For the strongest man in the world, this is simply the most painful result.

"Daddy!" Ace rushed straight to Whitebeard's bedside, "Yes...... I hurt you, and I took it upon myself to hunt down Titch to get caught......"

"Bastard......" Whitebeard yelled, "if I can move, I will teach you a good lesson now......"

"Daddy......"

"I'm just too old...... "almost, it's time to quit the stage." Ace, from today onwards, you will be the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates. ”

"What?" Ace was slightly stunned, because the Whitebeard Pirates didn't seem to have the position of deputy captain before, did Whitebeard mean to train himself as the heir of the next captain?

And Linton ...... He will be the new captain. Whitebeard said suddenly.

"What?" Everyone was shocked and looked at Whitebeard with a bewildered expression.

"Wait...... This guy isn't from our pirates at all. "It was Harta, the captain of Team 12.

"yes, he's not Daddy's son at all." Another person next to him said.

"But I'm Ace's uncle." Linton spread his hands and said, "You see Ace is my nephew, and you and Ace's contemporaries are all my nephews, isn't this a family." ”

"Hey, what's the matter with you." Ace grabbed Linton and said, "Haven't you always looked down on Daddy, why did you suddenly want to join?" ”

"Yes, it's useless when you're old, but you're still young." Linton said, "It's cool to suddenly have a lot of free labor for me to work in." ”

"So you want to be a captain just so we can work for you?" The captain of a detachment next to him, who didn't know what it was called, shouted.

"yes." Linton was very shameless in admitting, "Otherwise, what do you want me to look at you like a nanny?" You have to understand that there is only one captain like Whitebeard who doesn't ask for anything in return, and really thinks you are the captain that his family sees, and I'm obviously not that kind of person. ”

"So why ......"

"Because now only I can keep you." Before Linton could finish speaking, he directly preemptively said, "Whitebeard's inability to continue fighting can't be hidden, although the winner is ours this time, but the losses on this side are also very heavy, and the people on this side will definitely take action, but Whitebeard can't fight, and this matter will be exposed immediately." ”

"Kaido them...... They immediately understood who Linton was talking about, the relationship between the four emperors was not good, and the situation of everyone being with each other would definitely appear.

"In short, only I, an outsider, can become the new captain of the ship now, and I can keep you safe for the time being. To put it simply, we don't have the same relationship between the captain and the crew as you used to be, but now we're just using each other, you use my reputation, and I, I need you to help me with the work, that's all. Linton said.

"Damn...... I will never admit that you are my captain. One of the captains said immediately.

"Me too." Another person next to him also said.

"Everyone, be quiet." At this time, Marco suddenly spoke, "I understand what everyone means now, and I don't want to admit this guy as our captain, but now, it's not the time to talk about this." Although this war was won, the threat we had to face was not over at all, even if we didn't admit it, but at this time, we could only cooperate with him. Don't...... Do you still want Daddy to get out of bed again? ”

There was a sudden silence around them, and Marco's words did make them shake a little, but this Linton was really ......

"But Marco ......"

"Don't be too willful!" Marco roared suddenly, startling the others.

"Is it true that you have eaten too much milk and become only calling?" Linton spread his hands and said, "So I said, Whitebeard spoils you too much, and after such a war, haven't you grown up yet?" But Marco, who was killed by my punch, has matured a lot. ”

"Hey, after all, don't suddenly make trouble." Marco said, but he quickly turned to the side of the crew, "It's time for us to mature, and you know Daddy's situation, don't you feel at ease if you want Daddy to retire?" After Daddy leaves, won't our Whitebeard Pirates even survive? ”

"I hate this bastard so much." Marco said directly, "But now, we have to cooperate with him, if you are not reconciled, then grow...... Grow up to be able to support this pirate group, use your strength, and tell Dad, don't worry, only we can survive. ”

Marko's words really touched everyone, yes, after this battle, they also understood their own shortcomings, and indeed no one present could reach the height of Whitebeard, and really supported the entire pirate group. Whitebeard knew this, so he asked Linton to carry it for them, and what they had to do was not to complain, but to grow.

"Damn...... I...... Got it......"

"Got it, let's make him the captain for the time being."

The whole process, the whitebeard next to him was watching, but he didn't say anything. Now he understands why Linton said before that his crew was too cowardly, and his own protection, is it really too much? In short, now is indeed an opportunity for them to grow, maybe without themselves, their sons can go further. So he didn't say anything about the current situation, just watched silently.

"Anyway, now I'm the captain, or the acting captain, whatever." Linton said, "I didn't have a rare position anyway, anyway, you have to work for me now." ”

The crew was very upset, but they didn't say anything.

"Now the first order, I need a large number of Devil Fruits, whether you make it up for me, or collect information for me where there are a large number of Devil Fruits, start acting immediately." Linton said.

"Devil Fruits?"

"Start now?"

"How else? Still waiting for you to fix it slowly? Why don't you give you a 10-day and half-month vacation? Linton said, "You see if your enemies will wait for you to take a vacation and adjust, in short, start working immediately, who is in charge of the supplies, and how much fruit do we pirates have?" ”

"This ...... There should be four or five of them, but I don't know what the fruit is. "It's Joz who speaks, and it seems that he is in charge of the supplies.

"Where?" Linton asked.

Joz said that it was on an island in the New World, and that Linton had certainly never heard of a name. After all, the Whitebeard Pirates are the Four Emperors, and they still have a family background, and there are many treasure troves, of course, all of which are in their territory in the New World.

Linton asked, if you go there, it will take about ten days to sail, and Linton still has about twenty days, and he should be able to get those devil fruits, so he immediately ordered to set off there. Of course, they were going to return to their own territory in the New World, so there was no conflict.

Just when Linton's side temporarily took over the captain's position, here, the news of the war on the top quickly spread throughout the world, causing a violent storm. Whether it was the New World, or the early part of the Great Voyage, or the Four Seas, everyone was shocked by this amazing news, and Goldinton's name was also known to everyone.
