"Thank you for your kindness!"

Marco looked solemn: "If you have anything to help in the future, call directly, we will definitely arrive!" ”

Ace, Joz and the others also nodded sincerely.

No matter what Rhodes was doing this trip, the result was to save their Whitebeard Pirates.

Most of the people who remain in the Whitebeard Pirates are extremely emotional, faithful, and righteous, and of course they will not turn a blind eye.

"It's nothing, Blackbeard is my enemy too."

Rod smiled slightly, looked at Herbert on the side, and directly asked:

"You're Herbert, how about it, are you interested in coming to Dressrosa?"

With his current status and strength, there is no need to beat around the bush to solicit people.

And Herbert is also very face-saving, he has long been impressed by the amazing strength that Rod has shown before, after hearing Rode's solicitation, he almost did not hesitate at all, and said bluntly:

"I do."

He was three meters tall, burly, and muscular, like a small mountain, and looked a little more Whitebeard than Whitebeard II.

"Good."

Rod was satisfied and nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Ace and the others all sighed in their hearts.

Herbert is a talent, strong, and powerful, so to speak, strategic.

But at this time, the Whitebeard Pirates no longer had the capital to recruit him.

On the one hand, the strength of the Whitebeard Pirates has shrunk dramatically.

On the other hand, if Herbert is left behind, the Blackbeard Pirates will definitely not give up, and with the current strength of the Whitebeard Pirates, I am afraid that they will not be able to keep Herbert.

This has to be said to be a sad story.

Next, the Whitebeard Pirates begin to clean up the battlefield and collect the remains.

In this battle, for the Whitebeard Pirates, although they successfully saved Whitebeard's last face and did not let Titch succeed, they also suffered heavy losses.

Many people had tears in their eyes and sobbed quietly.

For them, every member who dies is a brother and a family member.

Ace and Marco were also very uncomfortable.

In this battle, not only two captains were killed, but two others were also severely injured.

One had a broken hand, the other was even worse, both eyes were blind, and he almost lost the ability to continue sailing.

For these old pirates, not being able to sail is almost equivalent to losing the meaning of life.

Looking at the mutilated body that was carried over, Ace suddenly felt a little confused and a little guilty.

Daddy had high hopes for himself, and led his brothers to break into the Navy Headquarters and pull him out of hell.

But now, not to mention the growing strength of the Whitebeard Pirates, he can't even maintain it.

Ace looked at Rhodes in confusion, a contemporary who was the same age as him, but who had already reigned in the New World.

"Grief belongs only to the weak."

Sensing Ace's gaze, Rod put his hands behind his back and said lightly:

"If you want this to happen again, try to be stronger.

The former Whitebeard Pirates were powerful, but they were also a constraint to you.

Because Whitebeard is so strong, you can't perceive your own weakness, and you don't have much motivation to become stronger.

You, Marco, and Diamond Joz, and Foil Bista, are actually a little off the fire.

Whether it is Hiryu of the Rain or the Flame Plague Ember, the head of the Three Calamities of the Hundred Beast Pirates, they are all peak-level powerhouses, but you Whitebeard Pirates, except for Whitebeard, are nothing good.

To put it mildly, the Whitebeard Pirates who lost their Whitebeard can easily be penetrated by myself. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates present was stunned.

Are they too weak?

Did they disgrace Daddy?

"Our strength...... Is it too weak. ”

Ace muttered, he clenched his fists, looking at the flames dancing above, he used to think that the strength was enough to cross the sea, but now it seems that he is weak.

Not to mention Blackbeard, the existence of the level of Dragon Slaying Sword Hao.

Even if it's an existence of the level of Rain no Kiru, he's not necessarily an opponent, right?

"On this sea, there is no strength, all dreams, all hopes are empty talk." Rod said.

For Ace, this war is not an opportunity.

Only Ace, who sails the sea, constantly challenges strong enemies like Luffy, and strives for his dreams, can really step into the pinnacle.

Whitebeard's vision can't be wrong, Ace's potential is definitely there, it's just that he's shackled.

Rod didn't mind pointing at Ace.

He will face many enemies in the future, and the other four emperors, the navy, and the world government, will only have more combat power than one another, and each one more than the other.

The so-called two fists are hard to beat four hands.

Before the combat power reaches the point of ignoring everything, the more allies at the peak level, of course, the better.

Ace is one, Luffy is one, and Zoro is one.

You don't have to include them under your command, and you can't be your subordinates with their character, as long as you contribute at critical moments.

Half an hour passed.

The Whitebeard Pirates have finally cleaned up the battlefield.

Everyone gathered together, and at a cursory glance, there were only a thousand people, and they were no longer the grand occasion when they forcibly broke into the naval headquarters.

Rod shook his head slightly, it was really miserable.

During this time, they were chased and beaten by the Blackbeard Pirates, lost their base, and died one less than one by one, and today's Whitebeard Pirates are not as strong as one percent of their heyday.

What he said before was really not bragging.

"Ace ......"

Marco looked at Ace, a little worried and a little expectant.

Everyone else looked at Ace as well.

The captains actually know that Ace, who has the domineering appearance of a king, is the person chosen by Daddy.

“……”

Feeling these gazes, Ace, who had been keeping his head down and silent, suddenly shook his body, he raised his head, showed a smile full of confidence and contagion, and said:

"Titch is not dead yet, I can't be depressed, Rhodes is right, grief only belongs to the weak, I will become stronger, I will definitely catch Titch and go to my father's grave to confess."

As he spoke, he looked at Marco again and said solemnly: "In the next period of time, Marko, you will take your brothers to recuperate first, and I will take some people to go to the sea and fight on the sea, the name of Fire Fist seems to be a little old!" ”

"Ace ......"

Marco showed a look of relief, and said in a solemn tone: "Don't worry, we will definitely wait for you to come back!" ”

At this time, Herbert also interjected: "If you have anything, come to me, and you will definitely help." “

Regardless of the cause, Ace and the others can be regarded as his lifesavers, and if it weren't for the help of the Whitebeard Pirates, he would have been killed by Blackbeard long ago.

"Not bad."

Rod nodded slightly.

Rather than treacherous, he certainly values people who know how to repay their kindness.

If Herbert hadn't said anything to the Whitebeard Pirates all the time, he would have looked down on him.

"Haha, we're not going to be polite."

Diamond Joz hammered Herbert's arm, and the two big muscles rubbed each other in a friendly manner.

Marco smiled, took out a notebook, handed it to Herbert, and said:

"This records some of the development directions and exercise methods of the Shock Fruit, all of which are Daddy's experience, I recorded it, in addition, there are some ways to weaken the side effects of the Shock Fruit, you can take it and take a look, don't fall into the majesty of the power of the Shock!"

Marco is the leader of the Ichiban team of the Whitebeard Pirates, and has the closest relationship with Whitebeard, and knows more about the power of Shock than Blackbeard.

"This ......"

Herbert's whole person was stunned, Whitebeard's experience, that is the existence that pushed the power of the earthquake to the strongest throne in the world!

Even with Herbert's weathered state of mind, he couldn't help but fluctuate violently.

But the gift was so big that he was a little overwhelmed and couldn't help but look at Rhodes.

Rod was also a little surprised, Marco was simply too generous, but he quickly understood that this was Marko's overture.

Now the weak Whitebeard Pirates need a strong foreign help.

"Let's go next."

Rod laughed, of course he wanted his men to be stronger.

Herbert's breathing suddenly became heavy, and he stretched out his hands and took the notebook reverently and respectfully, as if he had received a holy decree.

He swore that even if he traded his life savings for this notebook, he would not hesitate in the slightest.

It may not be a big deal to anyone else, but to him, it's a truly priceless treasure.
