Thank You for Taking Care of Me

“My father is not dead yet!”

Ace glared at Kuro. “There is only one father, and that is Whitebeard!”

“That kind of thing doesn’t matter.”

Kuro looked down at Whitebeard from the execution platform and thought for a moment and said, “Your father’s death will shock people.”

The pirates fell into a decline. Even though Whitebeard asked the captains to support Straw Hat Luffy, they were still beaten back by the aggressive Marines. Many captains fell in a pool of blood.

In terms of numbers, this is only natural.

“Ace…”

Whitebeard looked at the execution platform and his eyes became heavy.

With that floating ghost around, it would not be so easy to save people.

Sons, no more damage…

Determination flashed in Whitebeard’s eyes.

“Whitebeard!”

Akainu shouted as his arms turned into magma and punched out.

As long as he stops this man, the pirates will definitely be slaughtered by Marines. Victory is just a matter of time.

Bang bang bang!

A few magma punches hit Whitebeard’s chest. He didn’t even look at Akainu, his body moved and the guillotine brought a shock wave to the front.

BOOM!!!

The earth shook, and Marin Vando cracked everywhere, including the tallest headquarters building, which also cracked a few big cracks. Its buildings staggered and caused a sensation.

Kuro’s body swayed on the execution platform with a serious expression.

Sengoku looked at Whitebeard with a complicated expression and muttered, “Newgate…”

“Ace!”

Luffy was ready to run up again. He was kicked down by Kuro just now, and his own injury had reached a critical point.

Ivankov had already given him adrenaline several times and he almost fainted just now.

Bang!

Kizaru appeared in front of Luffy and kicked him away. “Go back to where you came from.”

Luffy was kicked far away and landed near Whitebeard.

Whitebeard glanced at him and suddenly roared, “Everyone retreat to my side!”

Under his attack, most of the pursuing Marines lost their mobility, which gave the pirates a chance to retreat.

“Dad!”

Suddenly, in the sea behind him, a ship attacked again. Scuado said to Whitebeard, “Dad, we are here to support!”

“Scuado, huh…”

Akainu glanced at it and said, “If you are involved again, then the previous promise is canceled.”

Marines certainly keep their promises.

Scuado gave Whitebeard a stab. Although it did not cause instant death, that stab would naturally cause damage. As promised, Akainu would let Scuado and his Pirates go.

But now that Scuado has rejoined the war, it naturally doesn’t count.

“Scuado…”

Whitebeard glanced back and suddenly shook his head. “You came at the right time, but you don’t need support…”

Bang!

Whitebeard shook off Akainu’s attack and said loudly: “Now listen, Whitebeard Pirates, I want to say goodbye to you here. You go back to the New World and return safely to the New World! This is my last order as the Captain!”

“Dad!”

The pirates looked at Whitebeard in shock and said: “Why? We can still fight!”

“Yes, Dad, Ace hasn’t been rescued yet!”

“Damn it, I want to continue!”

“Shut up!”

Whitebeard glared at them and said, “You don’t even listen to Captain’s orders. From now on, all of you board the ship and evacuate!”

“And I…”

Whitebeard leaned on his knife with one hand and clenched his fist behind him. “I have been traveling for a long time and it is time to have a result with Marine!”

Bang!!!

With a punch, the air shattered and the Marines who had just stood up lay down again under the shock. Many Marines could not stand the shock and vomited blood. Even Akainu took a few steps back.

Boom!

Marien Vando cracked again, and a large number of buildings collapsed under this vibration, and the headquarters building was even more difficult to explain. It cracked again under the vibration and became much shorter.

“Damn Newgate, does he want to die together with Marin Vando…” Sengoku said hatefully.

“The old guy is going to fight for his life.” Kuro blew out smoke and said.

After the shock, Whitebeard picked up his knife and began to move forward.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Marines who got up fired at him with their guns. Whitebeard did not dodge and let those attacks hit him in the front. Then, he waved his fist and caused a shock that sent those Marines flying.

“Canine Cricket Red Lotus!”

Akainu’s arm turned into lava and extended, forming the shape of a monster with a huge mouth, biting Whitebeard’s waist and ribs. He groaned and swept Akainu away with a knife, then punched at the new wave of Marines.

Bang!!

The Marines were swung away again, and no one stood in front of Whitebeard.

The road ahead is unstoppable.

“Dad!”

Several captains still appeared behind him. Vista said, “At least, at least protect Dad’s honor!”

“Silly son… That kind of thing is meaningless.”

Whitebeard looked back and smiled. He continued to face forward and slowly walked towards Ace.

“A spent force.”

Kuro spat out a mouthful of smoke on the execution platform with an inexplicable look in his eyes. He sat down cross-legged and carried the knife on his shoulder. He thought for a while and couldn’t help but curse, “You old monsters of the old era are really tough. The golden-haired old thing who made me burn incense is like this, and so are you…”

“This is Edward Newgate.”

Sengoku said at the side: “So, he must be eliminated.”

“Dad…”

Ace stared blankly at Whitebeard, who was constantly being attacked by Marines but was still moving forward. Whitebeard rushed to the ground with his head, tears and snot running down his face as he roared, “Dad, don’t come close! I am a sinner, you shouldn’t have come to save me!”

Bang!!!

Whitebeard once again shook off a circle of Marines that surrounded him. His body swayed and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. His body gradually began to collapse.

But soon, he stood still and smiled. “Gu la la la, don’t underestimate me, I am Whitebeard.”

At this moment, two soldiers who had been re-invited by Marine to the execution platform stood on Ace’s left and right, quickly raising their bayonets. The cold light of the bayonets was extremely dazzling under the sun.

At this moment, Aokiji and Kizaru appeared below the execution platform. From their posture, they would not let Whitebeard destroy the execution platform.

In front of him, Akainu was blocking him. It was almost impossible to destroy the execution platform at that moment.

The bayonet fell.

“Ace!!!”

Luffy roared.

“Stop.”

Sengoku suddenly stopped them and looked at Ace and Whitebeard and sighed.

“Do you have any last words? In the end, say something. Although it was said that you wanted to execute you as Roger’s bloodline, in fact, this has nothing to do with Roger’s bloodline.”

Ash paused for a moment and looked up with a blank expression. “Can I say something…”

“What are you saying?”

Kuro smiled at this time and said, “The death row prisoners can still have a good meal before they die. What’s wrong with asking you to say something?”

“Really… You can still talk.”

Ace suddenly smiled. At this time, he suddenly got over it.

He looked at Whitebeard and the pirates behind him and finally looked at Luffy.

“I really have something to say… Luffy, in fact, if it weren’t for your troublesome brother and that thing with Sab, I would have died long ago.”

“All this time, as Roger’s son, no one wants me to live. I can’t help it. Everyone wants me to die. I thought for a long time that if I died, the world would quiet down. I really shouldn’t have come to this world. It’s good to die…”

“But if you die, it’s actually quite regretful. Luffy, I can’t see your dream come true. I’m sorry. Also, everyone has been very happy with you. I’m really sorry for giving you trouble before I die.”

“Say what, Ace, you won’t die!” One of the Captains cried, “I will definitely save you!”

“That’s right, let’s kill him. It’s not a big deal to be a general. We must save Ace!”

Listening to the pirates, Ace shook his head and smiled, then looked at Whitebeard. “Dad…”

Bang!

Whitebeard leaned hard on the guillotine, causing a tremor.

“Ace, it doesn’t matter whether you are Roger’s child or not. What’s important is that you are my Whitebeard’s son. As a pirate, of course I have to rob what I like. What I, Whitebeard, have robbed, even if it is an existence like ‘son’, the moment you become my son, you are not any other son, you are just my Whitebeard’s son!”

Ace was stunned. His lips quivered, but tears still fell. “Thank you, Dad. Only with you, I feel the warmth not as a sinner’s son, but as a father’s child. Dad, there is no doubt that this is your era. This era is called [Whitebeard]. I am proud to be your son!”

Whitebeard looked at Akainu, who was blocking in front of him, and then looked at Ace and said slowly, “Has my father been doing a good job?”

Ace shouted, “Of course!!!”

“Gu la la, that’s good, that’s good…”

Whitebeard clenched his fists and his pupils constricted. A great momentum came from his body, but at this moment, his body shook again and he couldn’t help but stagger to the side.

His body… couldn’t take it anymore.

“Execution, otherwise Newgate will go crazy,” Sengoku saw Whitebeard’s actions and said.

Kuro looked at Ace and sighed. “In this situation, you can only escape by turning into light, but even if you take out Whitebeard’s bones and boil them into soup, you can’t turn into light, although your names are the same.”

“Oh, by the way, I also think that you are Roger’s child. What Sin Bloodline, just listen to it. Tenryubito has the bloodline of God, isn’t it still the same disgusting appearance. So, what bloodline gives birth to what kind of person is nonsense.”

Ace smiled and said, “Is that so? As a Marine, you still comfort me, thank you very much. But I don’t understand your strange remarks. I am a fire, of course I can’t change light.”

At this moment, the bayonets of the soldiers on both sides were raised.

He took a deep breath, straightened his back, and said loudly to Whitebeard, “I have always been indebted to you!”

He smiled the brightest smile at the front, in the eyes of many Marines and pirates. “I am really going to die.”

Chi!!!

Two bayonets pierced through his body. Blood flowed from his body and spread below him, drawing a circle.

Ace did not move at all. Even though he was dead, he was still upright and smiling.

It made their scalps tingle and their hearts tremble.

Kuro did not look at him. He was still sitting cross-legged in front of the execution platform, looking at the sky and silently exhaling smoke.
