Chapter 501: The new captain of the Whitebeard Pirates
It's not an anime here, everyone is alive, they all have their own minds, they all have their own wisdom, Whitebeard can be the head of the Four Emperors, and his wisdom itself is not low.
Since he knew that his invasion of the Navy Headquarters was very likely to fail, how could he not arrange the future of his crew after his death.
Maybe in the original book, he just died at that time, and he didn't have time to explain.
Because Ace is still alive, Ace has become the new captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, which is explained by Whitebeard himself, even though Ace cried and shouted, he didn't want to be the captain, he just wanted Whitebeard to live, but this matter was still a reality, and the other Whitebeard Pirates crew also acquiesced, after all, Whitebeard's last words.
There is also the arrangement of Whitebeard's sphere of influence, each of the Four Emperors has many of their own islands and their own sphere of influence, otherwise they would not be able to support the attrition and battle of such a large team.
Once he dies, the territory that belongs to him will definitely be snatched by the other Four Emperor forces, Shanks may not, but the other two will definitely be, and there are even some powerful pirates to take advantage of, especially some islands protected by the Whitebeard Pirates, just like Fish-Man Island in the original book.
Without Whitebeard's deterrence, many things are useless to other pirates, just a delicious piece of cake.
The war will continue to break out, and if they want to stabilize the Whitebeard Pirates, if they want the Whitebeard Pirates to still exist, they will inevitably reduce their territory and strengthen their defenses.
If they want to preserve the majesty of the Whitebeard Pirates, they need a baptism of blood, they need to become stronger, and prove their strength on this sea, capable of occupying those rich resources and not being invaded by other forces.
This is the naked reality!
The fall of a strong man, countless people are staring, staring at the assets left behind after your death, and then countless people are crazy to use it to scrape, if they don't have the ability to wait, they are like a big cake, which will be swallowed by all the forces one bite at a time.
Warned all the captains of the team that some islands can be given up at their discretion, and they must know how to advance and retreat, and they cannot fight hard, while some need to be firmly defended.
After explaining everything, Whitebeard withered again, and the whole person looked extremely weak, like a broken candle in the wind, and the fire of his life was slowly dissipating and extinguishing.
"Thunder, can you promise to do me another favor?" Whitebeard's eyes suddenly widened, raised his head slightly, looked at Tang Shen, and said.
"No!"
Tang Shen refused without hesitation and pouted, being busy at this time is very troublesome!
As he spoke, he turned his back at the same time, causing all the members of the Whitebeard Pirates to stare angrily, I didn't see that Daddy was dying, you are still so cruel! Is there still humanity?
I heard Tang Shen say calmly: "If Ace is in trouble in the future, I will consider helping as appropriate, after all, he is my eldest nephew." ”
And hearing what he wanted, Whitebeard finally smiled with relief and lay his head down again.
The meaning of Tang Shen's words means that Ace can ask him for help if he is in trouble in the future, and now Ace is the new captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, and Ace's troubles, that is, the troubles of the Whitebeard Pirates, agreed in disguise.
When he fought before and resisted the Warring States, he thought that he was going to die and it was impossible to survive, so he said that request to let Tang Shen help take care of the Whitebeard Pirates for the sake of his help to resist, so he didn't wait for Tang Shen to answer, because in that case, there was no need to answer at all, waiting for an answer was a bad strategy, as long as he successfully resisted, then Tang Shen would subconsciously owe a favor, and would naturally consider helping as appropriate.
But now he asked for an accurate answer in front of all the crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates, and also let Marco and them hear, and it would be good for Ace to come to Tang Shen if there was trouble in the future, and now he got it.
With the words of Tang Shen, the Whitebeard Pirates will not perish, and the promise of a strong man is priceless.
He was finally relieved to leave!
"Good!! Good!! Good! Good ......" spat out a few words from the last words in his mouth, Whitebeard's voice became smaller and smaller until it disappeared silently, his eyes looked at the blue sky, he slowly lost focus, his face took away a smile of relief and left, his heart stopped beating at this moment, and there was no longer any sign of life.
A generation of strong men has fallen!
All the members of the Whitebeard Pirates began to cry bitterly, tears flowing like an unstoppable stream of the reservoir that opened the level.
Sadness, grief, and grief filled the hearts of all the members of the Whitebeard Pirates.
All the members of the Whitebeard Pirates cried like a 300-pound child.
Luffy and Luo and them, but they also seemed more silent, and there was a nameless sadness slowly flowing through their hearts.
Tang Shen also sighed in his heart, Whitebeard still fell after all, drawing a perfect end to the previous era, representing the end of the previous era, the end of the era when Whitebeard ruled this sea.
Usually in a sad environment, there will always be someone who fails to interrupt this sad atmosphere for you.
"Alright, don't be sad! Hurry up, it is estimated that the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates should have been besieged by many forces, you should think about it first, how to protect Whitebeard's legacy! ”
In this case, in this environment, the only person who dares to say such things in this kind of scene is Tang Shen.
The Whitebeard Pirates, everyone is furious.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat Tang Shen, there would have been a lot of people rushing up with knives to hack him to death!
It's infuriating!
Crying doesn't make people cry well.
At the same time, Tang Shen's words also made many members of the Whitebeard Pirates have a wake-up call in their hearts, that's right, now that Whitebeard is dead, the territory he left behind is the most resourceful ability among the Four Emperors, after all, as the head of the Four Emperors, the territory he occupies is itself being watched by many people.
No one dared to move when Whitebeard was alive, but now that Whitebeard is dead, many people may now be gearing up and preparing to devour the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates.
It was broadcast live all over the world at the Navy Headquarters before, and it could be seen in many places, and Whitebeard was hit hard at that time, and some people had already guessed that Whitebeard might have died, and he would naturally make a bold move.
As for Kaido and Charlotte Lingling, as long as Whitebeard is seriously injured, they will dare to invade and snatch Whitebeard's territory, so what Tang Shen said is completely reasonable.
Ace didn't wipe the tears on his face, he stood up directly, his eyes revealed anger, and he said in a deep voice:
"Uncle is right! Now the first priority is to protect Daddy, the territory left, we have to let everyone know that the Whitebeard Pirates are still the Whitebeard Pirates, and anyone who dares to invade the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates will have to pay the price of blood. ”
