One Piece - I'm Whitebeard

Chapter 32: 32 Living Free More Than Anyone



Thud ~

The sound of landing echoed.

The sound was initially faint, but it resonated like thunder in everyone's ears.

Marine Vice Admiral, Shichibukai, and elite marines that are in a fierce battle!

There is also the commander, allied captain, Whitebeard pirate Crew, and the prisoners from Impel down.

As if they had an agreement, they stopped fighting.

They all turned their heads, one by one...…

To look at the figure jumping from Moby Dick!

Whitebeard!

Known as the strongest man in the world, finally set foot on this battlefield, ready to fight!

His involvement in the war this time was different from before.

Although Whitebeard had made a move before, he didn't use his full strength!

And now…

The battle has reached its peak!

Next, the Marines will face Whitebeard full strength head-on!

"Is Whitebeard about to launch his attack?"

The Marines felt a lump in their throats as cold sweat trickled down their faces.

Whitebeard injured Aokiji and effortlessly repelled Hawkeye attack with a single punch, leaving a lasting impression on everyone.

Now Whitebeard is ready to unleash his real strength.

A wave of fear swept through every Marine, wondering if they could withstand Whitebeard's attack.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The calm footsteps echoed.

Whitebeard holds a Naginata Blade, gently walking on the icy bay.

That's right!

He just walk around gently!

Without using Haki or any other actions.

Like an elder walking on the street.

If it weren't for the corpses around, no one would believe Whitebeard came to save people.

But that's it…

One hundred thousand Marine, many Vice Admiral and Shichibukai!

But no one stood up, and seemed not dare to stop Whitebeard's advance.

Even as Whitebeard approached, some fearful Marines instinctively made way for him.

"This is bad!"

Sengoku's expression changed on the execution platform.

Whitebeard's previous actions, injuring Aokiji and repelling Hawkeye, left a lasting impression on the Marine officers.

So when Whitebeard started to make a move, no one dared to stop him at all!

"Everyone, snap out of it! He's just a remnant from the old era. Don't forget the justice you carry on your shoulders!"

Sengoku shouted loudly.

The sound traveled to everyone's ears through the Den-Den Mushi

The Marine soldiers, who had been deeply intimidated by Whitebeard, quickly snapped out of it.

They remember…

This is the battlefield!

And they are the Marines who uphold justice!

"How can we, as defenders of justice, be afraid!"

"Even if Whitebeard is strong, together we must demonstrate the power of justice and inspire fear in the hearts of pirates!"

Onigumo shouted, and his voice spread all over the bay.

Under the encouragement of Sengoku and Onigumo, the fearful Marine soldiers regained their composure and their morale soared.

Yes!

They are Marines!

Defeating pirates and restoring world peace is the duty of every Marine soldier.

Their hearts filled with determination, the Marines surged with adrenaline, raising their arms and roaring in anger.

"Never let Whitebeard pass through the bay!"

"Stop him!"

"Everyone attack together!"

Marines raised their weapon and rushed towards Whitebeard.

"Your opponent is me!"

"Moreover, how can we let you disturb our father!"

Marco descended from the sky, delivering a powerful kick to Onigumo. At the same time, the rest of his crew engaged the Marine soldiers head-on.

"Don't you dare get close to Father!"

Jozu shouted.

With a burst of diamond light, his arm slammed down onto the ice.

BOOM!

There was a loud noise.

As the icy debris scattered, several marine soldiers were blasted away.

"Stop these Marines and clear a path for Father to reach the plaza!"

Vista brandished his long sword, unleashing a flurry of deadly strikes. The glinting blade left trails of blood in its wake as he called out to the crew

"Yeahh!"

The Crew of Whitebeard Pirate swiftly reacted, charging towards the Marines, effectively halting their advance.

And then.

An unusual sight appeared in the bay...

Whitebeard walked towards the plaza step by step.

The marines shouted and raised their weapons, trying to stop Whitebeard..

Before they could approach Whitebeard, they were intercepted by the Whitebeard Pirates' crew.

A straight path divided them apart.

Whitebeard walked down this path with a Naginata Blade in his hand

And behind him.

Bullet and Luffy followed closely behind Whitebeard.

The two stood by Whitebeard's side, acting as his guards, with one positioned slightly behind him.

That's how it was...

Under the angry and helpless gazes of 100,000 Marine officers and Marshal Sengoku,

Whitebeard stepped foot on Marineford plaza.

At that moment, he's not far from Ace's execution platform.

It was simply blocked by...three Admirals!

Ace, who was kneeling on the execution platform, also looked up

Looking at Whitebeard, his face twisted with pain..

"Father!"

"Why... I ignored everyone's advice and ran out on my own..."

"Why... why won't let me die on my own!"

Ace's body was shaking.

Due to his stubbornness, the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines engaged in a fierce clash.

Due to his recklessness, everyone was forced to fight against their own destiny.

If only he had matured a bit sooner, today's casualties could have been avoided.

So when Whitebeard Pirates came to rescue him, he didn't feel any excitement but was overwhelmed with guilt.

"Because...…."

Whitebeard lifted his head, his expression remarkably calm, as if about to say something ordinary.: "You are my son!"

"As a father... How can I stand by and watch my son die?!"

On the execution stage, Ace trembled uncontrollably.

Looking at the towering figure with a curved beard below the stage, tears streamed down uncontrollably.

"You've always sought answers about whether you should have been born or not."

"But… Ace!"

"The moment you stepped onto my ship, everything changed. You're no longer alone. Everyone on this ship is your family. They're here to save their brother!"

Whitebeard spoke slowly, and then his tone became serious and low: "So...don't let everyone down!!!"

Ace looked up sharply, his gaze fixed on Whitebeard in a daze.

At this moment, his doubts about whether he should be born or not, all dissipated.

Tears flowed down, blurring his eyes.

Then he let out a piercing scream.

"Father…I want to live…Take me back to the sea!!!"

The confusion in his heart vanished.

He made up his mind to hold on tightly, no matter what.

This time...….

He no longer lives as Roger son!

But to live as Whitebeard's son and living free more than anyone...!!!
