Chapter 327: The Retreating Whitebeard (Second Update)
From the time Raymond and Whitebeard reached an agreement to Professor X's flight over the ice wall to stabilize the situation on the other side, it was actually only a matter of moments.
A few minutes later, the Whitebeard Pirates' ship, the Moby Dick, and Rayleigh's side, each reappeared with a circle of flames, and Whitebeard and Raymond each walked out of it.
At this time, Whitebeard looked unusually mental, and even the damage caused by the previous stab seemed to be unaffected.
Seeing that Whitebeard was fine, and that he had become more energetic, the Whitebeard Pirates finally felt relieved, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and they all lifted their spirits!
As soon as Marco saw that Whitebeard had returned intact, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Daddy, now we ......"
"Withdraw."
Whitebeard interrupted Marco's questioning.
"Just like that?" Marco was a little surprised.
This Xiao organization, which suddenly appeared, not only took Ace away, but also clamored to sweep the three legendary pirates into the dust of history, which is already a face-riding behavior.
If the Whitebeard Pirates leave like this, I'm afraid they will become a big laughing stock in the future.
Marco couldn't understand why, with his father's pride, he suddenly decided to retreat.
But Whitebeard spoke, and he would never question it.
Confused, he immediately gestured to the others.
On the other side, Raymond looked at Whitebeard on the Moby Dick and said, "Goodbye, Your Excellency Whitebeardβ"
Whitebeard also looked at this side, his eyes deep: "It's not right that I will never see you again...... Also, Reilly, help me take care of Ace. β
Reilly vaguely guessed something, nodded with a complicated expression, and said, "This is what I should have done." β
Whitebeard nodded, no more.
After a while, the 'Moby Dick' moved slowly, and Whitebeard was still standing in the bow of the ship, his eyes were set to the sky, and he said to himself:
"Old man, I can't help you this time, so I have to let you go first, but don't worry, I'll come to you right away...... Roger, that guy must have been waiting for us for a long time, right? β
As he spoke, Whitebeard shook his head with a smile unconsciously.
When the 'Moby Dick' sailed out of the sea where Marin Fando was, Marco could no longer hold back his curiosity and asked:
"Daddy, what happened before? Why did we just withdraw and leave the Sky Pirates there? Being insulted to our faces like this, if we don't react accordingly, what will we think of our Whitebeard Pirates on the sea in the future? β
Marco obviously held back these three questions for a long time, and when he saw that there were no outsiders left, he asked them all in one breath.
"Whatever...... From this day forward, there will be no more Whitebeard Pirates on the sea......" Whitebeard muttered.
"Daddy, what are you talking about?"
Marco wondered if he had misheard.
Whitebeard patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Kulala, do you think I'm joking with you?" You heard it right, and you didn't understand it wrong, the Whitebeard Pirates are disbanded from today. β
"Why disband? This is you, Dad, and everyone's life's work! "Marco was in a bit of a hurry.
Not only him, but also Joz and Bista, who also spoke up to persuade Whitebeard to try to stop his decision.
It's not that they covet the power brought by the Whitebeard Pirates, with their strength, they won't mix too badly wherever they go, and they are all well-known pirates when they go out.
But the atmosphere of the Whitebeard Pirates is like a big family, and once it is disbanded, it is equivalent to the dissolution of this family.
This is an unacceptable outcome for them.
"That's it! Be quiet! β
Whitebeard slammed the broadsword in his hand twice on the ground, motioning to Marco and Joz to be quiet for a while, and then continued when they were all quiet: "This is my agreement with that fellow, do you want me to be a man of my word?" β
"Damn, that guy must have used some despicable means to blackmail Daddy!" Joz was furious when he heard this, "Daddy, did he use Ace to threaten you and ask you to disband everyone?" It's not going to be left at that, we're going to make them ......."
"Not what you think, little Joz." Whitebeard didn't look angry, instead chuckling and shaking his head.
"What's the reason for that?"
Whitebeard sighed deeply: "Originally, I didn't want to say it, so as not to put too much pressure on you, but now it seems that if I don't say it, you will definitely do something stupid, okay, then I'll tell you......
Do you remember that before I walked into that flame aperture, I promised to make a pact with him? β
Marco and the others nodded.
Whitebeard didn't sell it, and continued: "He told me at the time that as long as I can defeat him, he will leave directly with everyone in the Xiao organization, and never trouble the Whitebeard Pirates again, but if he wins, I will have to disband the Whitebeard Pirates." β
"Daddy, you lost?" Marco grew incredulous.
He knew Whitebeard's strength, although in the previous situation, Whitebeard's strength might not even be half of his peak, but it was definitely beyond the strength of ordinary generals.
Marco himself is also a general-level powerhouse, and he has no lack of experience in fighting with the three major admirals, and in the end, it is basically a five-five situation, and no one can help anyone.
Therefore, he knew very well that even if Whitebeard was stabbed in a sneak attack, his strength was only higher than the others.
He couldn't think of any chance that the rookie pirate named Chloe could defeat Whitebeard, the strongest man on the sea.
"Did he use some conspiracy to calculate you, Daddy?" Marco couldn't help but ask.
"No, he gave me a chance to fight fairly, and he also used a special ability to temporarily suppress all the injuries and illnesses on my body, so that I could return to my peak condition......"
Whitebeard said this, and paused before continuing, "You should feel it too, my current state is far better than before, isn't it?" β
"It does feel that way." As soon as Whitebeard said this, Marco confirmed that it was not his own delusion.
But then he was even more incomprehensible.
Whitebeard, who is in peak condition, will lose?
Well, maybe it does, after all, there was once a true legend who could be single-handedly compared to the three legendary pirates, and his strength was indeed above Whitebeard and Roger.
But the problem is that even the lone red, who can be called an invincible opponent in the sea, can't easily defeat Whitebeard.
And the time Whitebeard just walked into the circle of flame light to the time he walked out of it from his heart only added up to a few minutes.
Is there anyone in this world who can beat Whitebeard in a matter of minutes?
Marco didn't believe it.
Whitebeard also saw Marco's thoughts, and slowly stretched out a finger and made a "one" gesture.
"Huh?" Marco paused for a moment.
