Chapter 149: Chapter 150: On The Eve Of The Final Battle!
Hearing Whitebeard's words, his sons showed similar expressions.
However, Yami didn't seem to have heard his mocking words, and he didn't have the thought of becoming angry at all, and felt calm as always.
"No one understands the power of the world government better than me. If Roger can't do it, that doesn't mean I can't do it. And what I want to do seems to be my own business, which has nothing to do with you Whitebeard Pirates. After all, I didn't invite you to join, did I?"
"You just need to choose whether to agree or not. Anyway, no matter whether I win or lose in the end, you Whitebeard Pirates have no loss, right?"
"Even if you don't want to, it doesn't matter. I can still find other people to cooperate with. As for other things, it seems that there is no need to comment too much. What do you think?"
The words without any emotion made Whitebeard become silent again.
After staring at Yami for a while, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "Since you, an arrogant brat, refuse to listen to advice and insist on going to death, then I won't say any more. I can promise your cooperation. If you succeed in overthrowing the world government, I will lead the entire pirate group to maintain the stability of the new world."
"But if you don't do it and die miserably because of it, then don't say I'm going back on my word!"
"Don't worry, it's my business, it has nothing to do with you Whitebeard Pirates."
After hearing Whitebeard's promise, Yami also smiled lightly.
He disappears from Moby Dick in a few seconds, then returns quickly, and then throws the potion in his hand at Marco, who immediately catches it in a hurry, and is relieved to see that the potion is intact.
"This is a panacea, as long as there is still a breath, no matter how serious the injury is, it can be healed instantly."
"Father, why don't you let me study it first, I'm afraid..."
Before Marco finished speaking, he was interrupted by Whitebeard's hearty voice, "No, if this kid wanted to harm me, he would have killed me by taking the opportunity before, why bother, stupid sons , men must be braver!"
As he spoke, Whitebeard snatched the panacea from Marco's hand, lifted the lid and drank it in one gulp.
The medicine was swallowed into the stomach, and it took effect instantly.
Whitebeard's sluggish look suddenly disappeared completely, his cheeks became rosy again, and a shocking aura gushed out instantly, enveloping everyone around him.
"Father?! This momentum! Father is back!"
Feeling this extremely familiar momentum, Marco and the others immediately showed extremely excited expressions.
They have joined the Whitebeard Pirates very early, so they are very clear about the peak Whitebeard's state when they were young, that is the arrogance that breaks through the sky, and contains a terrible personality charm.
Just like the state in front of them.
Even if their father is quite old, his aura cannot be faked, only Whitebeard who is at the peak of strength can have it!
"Gu la la la, sons, I'm back!"
"Oh, Father is back!!!"
After receiving the words of affirmation, all the pirates immediately cheered loudly.
The sky-shattering sounds can be said to be one after another, and Marco, who has always been steady, took the initiative to come forward, checked Whitebeard's body, and then showed an extremely excited expression.
What he was most worried about was finally resolved.
"Your body is very healthy, father!"
"Gu la la la, silly son." Looking at the surrounding situation, Whitebeard's expression is extremely gentle, and his body has completely recovered, which also means that his strength has also recovered. There is no doubt that it was strong as before.
Even the Whitebeard who is old and seriously ill is still capable of hammering Kaido to the ground, let alone the current him, this strength can be said to be extremely terrifying.
Thinking of this, a little gratitude appeared on his face.
However, when looking at Yami, there is still endless excitement and fighting spirit.
"Hey, arrogant brat, thank you for the medicine. It works very well. I haven't felt so relaxed for a long time. Now my strength has completely recovered. Do you want to fight again?"
Yami smiled strangely, "Forget it, I probably know your strength, I don't have much interest, and I don't have time to continue wasting with you.
Remember what you promised me, and don't forget it when the time comes. "
"Gu la la la, don't worry, we pirates pay great attention to promises. I will never forget the things I promised you. If you can really do that kind of thing, it doesn't matter if I help you stabilize the new world!"
Having been directly rejected the battle invitation, Whitebeard showed a regretful expression.
However, he didn't pay too much attention to it.
If he was still young, he might be obsessed with an evenly matched opponent, but now, as he grows older, he no longer pursues other things.
In comparison, staying with his own sons will be more enjoyable physically and mentally.
"I hope so. Although today's battle was a bit unsatisfactory, it was not bad. If there is nothing else, I will leave first. I hope to have a chance to see you again!"
"Are you going to leave so soon? Why don't you stay and have a banquet!"
"No, I have other things to do, so I'll go first."
After politely declining Whitebeard's invitation to the banquet, Yami turned into a thunderbolt, disappeared on the Moby Dick, and returned to the bow of his own ship.
Under the gaze of the Whitebeard Pirates, the ship sailed towards the distance again at a terrifying speed.
That kind of speed immediately amazed many pirates.
"What a terrible speed. What kind of ship is that? Is it really a product that humans can make? And the medicine you drink is also the same, isn't it amazing!"
"Gu la la la, silly sons, this world is very big, and there are many strange abilities emerging in endlessly, so don't be complacent just because you are temporarily powerful.
There are always strong people in the world that you don't know about, so train hard!"
After finally seizing this opportunity, Whitebeard can be regarded as educating a wave of his sons with today's events.
"Understood, Dad, we will work hard!"
It seems that because of Whitebeard's defeat today, the other members also have a faint sense of urgency, and they all want to start serious training.
At least, one day in the future, they won't be as powerless as today.
In the crowd, a fat man looked full of thought, looking at the direction where Yami and others left, wondering what he was thinking.
After leaving the Whitebeard Pirates, Yami's purpose is very clear.
First, he went to the country of Dressrosa to deal with Doflamingo, and then he went to the country of Wano to liberate the country.
Kurozumi Orochi died tragically, and even the entire Hundred Beasts Pirates were defeated by him, and Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, was no exception.
Such a big move naturally attracted the attention of others.
Killing Shichibukai, defeating Admirals of the Navy, and then killing Kaido, one of the Four Emperors.
In just a few days, someone has accomplished such a feat, which has plunged the whole sea into madness, and many people regard Yami as a role model, rushing to go out to sea
However, he, as the person involved, still knew nothing about all this.
Naval Headquarters, Marineford.
Sengoku did not feel angry for a long time, but felt deeply powerless.
Looking at the newspaper in front of him, it recorded Yami's recent actions. He killed Doflamingo, liberated the entire Dressrosa, and then killed Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, liberated the entire peace in the country; the two events were only about five days apart.
This kind of strength made him, who was used to seeing big scenes, feel terrified at this moment.
Even Roger, the former Pirate King, was not able to do this kind of thing. Although Roger became the Pirate King, he did not defeat all the big pirates of the same era.
And Roger had never killed a legendary pirate of the same level.
And the man in front of him... is simply too scary!
"Everyone, you probably already know the current situation, so let's talk about your suggestions, how to deal with this extraordinary man."
Putting the newspaper in his hand on the table, Sengoku glanced at everyone present, and continued: "I have already talked to the five elder stars before, and I was scolded by them again. Those five old guys have already issued an order. They have issued an ultimatum, let us arrest and bring to justice the murderer of the Celestial Dragon, that is, Yami as soon as possible."
"Now let's discuss carefully, what should we do!"
The words of Sengoku had just fallen, and the injuries on his body were not completely healed, but Kizaru, who was forced to come to the meeting, quickly expressed his own suggestions.
"That, my injury hasn't healed yet, Sengoku-san, if you want to take action against brother Yami, don't count me in it. After all, with my current strength, I will only become a baggage, I'd better stay in Marineford to recuperate."
"Like Borsalino, I don't have enough fighting power yet, so I can only trouble you."
Aokiji then responded the same, and his uncharacteristically speaking made other people slightly taken aback.
In fact, Aokiji felt very lucky to be able to survive successfully. Whenever he heard Yami's name, he would recall the previous battle uncontrollably, and then feel endless depression.
It is enough to see how much shadow Yami left in his heart.
At least before fully recovering, Aokiji didn't want to face that monster again.
As for the two people's answers, Sengoku's breath stagnated slightly, but he didn't feel angry, instead he looked at Akainu who was sitting on the other side.
Surprisingly, Akainu, who is usually angry at such remarks, did not express his opinion at this time.
He is reckless, but not stupid.
The guy who can easily defeat the combination of Aokiji and Kizaru, and at the same time kill all the Beast Pirates, is not something he can deal with alone.
For such a troublesome guy, it is better to take a long-term plan.
After all, all of Yami's actions are extremely threatening to the world government, but he did not do any evil, and this barely violated the justice in Akainu's heart.
So it doesn't matter at all to let him go for a while.
Well...at least that's what Akainu thought.
"Sengoku, the current Yami, is no longer something we can deal with, so you should tell the people above to increase his bounty, and at the same time include him in the list of sea emperors."
Although this answer was very cruel, Tsuru still announced softly.
Sometimes, reality is so cruel.
The only good news is that this emerging new emperor of the sea is not like the other emperors of the sea, but in a certain way, he is more troublesome than others.
After all, the other four sea emperors had never killed a Celestial Dragon.
Just the feat of killing Celestial Dragon can make countless strong pirates come to him admiringly and scramble to join his camp.
At that time, another huge pirate force will appear.
"Sigh, we can only do it like this."
Sengoku sighed helplessly. In fact, there was no need to discuss this matter. He had already made a decision, but he just needed the support of some people.
But when the final decision was really made, his mood became very depressed.
After all, giving up the hunt means compromising, and he believes that no one likes this feeling.
But there is no way, for the relative stability of the sea, compromise is very necessary, even if some navy is sent out to protect the Celestial Dragon, it is one of them.
This sea cannot lack the navy, even if the justice of the navy is wrong.
As long as the vast majority of civilians can be protected, then no matter what, he, the Fleet Admiral of the navy, will do it, even if he will bear the infamy!
Having made a decision in his mind, Sengoku immediately opened the drawer, and was about to take out the den-den mushi to report to the Five Elders.
But at this moment, one of the den-den mushi to contact the admiral suddenly rang.
"Pero pero pero..."
"This is?"
What happened suddenly disrupted the rhythm of what Sengoku was doing, and his hand hovering in mid-air suddenly started to move to pick up the den-den mushi that was making the sound of an incoming call and connect it.
"Kacha!"
"I'm Sengoku."
There was a slight silence on the other end of the phone, which made everyone present frown.
After a long while, a voice slowly rang out from the den-den mushi's mouth.
"Finally connected, Sengoku? I'm Yami, I borrowed your Rear Admiral Miss Gion's den-den mushi to call you, it's our first time talking to each other."
"Yami!! What have you done to Gion!?"
Hearing this sentence, the expressions of almost everyone at the scene changed.
Especially Tsuru, who has a very close relationship with Gion, when she heard Yami calling with Gion's den-den mushi, she could no longer maintain her usual calm state.
The remaining reason allowed her to restrain herself so as not to lose her composure completely.
"Sengoku, don't be so irritable. I'm a good person, and I usually abide by the law. Don't worry, Vice Admiral Gion is fine. At least she and her subordinates are not in danger.
But now there is no way to answer your call. "
"Hmph, it's better to be like this. If there is any damage to Gion, our navy will never let you go!"
"Oh, scary~, Sengoku, your words are really scary. It makes my legs tremble a little now. If I do something bad in this state, it's not my fault, ok?"
The obviously threatening words came from the mouth of the den-den mushi, coupled with the very good imitation, this made Sengoku, who had just let go of the harsh words, suddenly feel a little annoyed.
He wanted to smash the den-den mushi in front of him directly, but for the sake of Gion's safety, he had to take a deep breath and forcefully suppress the anger in his heart.
"What on earth do you want? If you want to extort ransom, as long as you guarantee the safety of Gion and other navy soldiers, I am willing to pay no matter how much."
"No, no, Sengoku, you really misunderstood me. I didn't call you for ransom. I originally wanted to go to the Navy Headquarters to have a talk with you in person, but when I thought the world government would find out, it would definitely trouble your navy. It just happened that Gion came suddenly, so I came up with such a method. How about it? Not bad for your navy, huh?"
"Tell me about your business!"
Sengoku almost gritted his teeth and roared out these words, everyone could hear his annoyance at this time.
"Really, at such an age, you should pay attention to health preservation and not be too irritable, but since you are a little impatient, then I will stop talking nonsense. Today, I have only one purpose for calling, and that is to cooperate with your navy on the situation in the sea. "
