I really can't control myself

Although Luo's boat was a submarine, it did not dive. After all, Marco was still there to investigate the surrounding situation. Soon, a fleet appeared. The first one that appeared was the only remaining whale-like foreign ship. The Whitebeard Pirates' flagship Moby Dick had sunk in the battle, and four ships of the same style appeared. Three foreign ships also sank, leaving only the last one.

Following this whale ship are the ships of some pirate groups under the Whitebeard Pirates. There are about a dozen ships. The number of these ships has been reduced by 90% compared to the previous time. It is obvious that the Whitebeard Pirates The thieves suffered extremely heavy losses. Following these pirate ships, there were several navy warships. Of course, these warships were captured by pirates. When they escaped before, many pirates also occupied several warships that surrounded them.

Fortunately, there were still a lot of pirates on the ship, and because they retreated in time, many people survived. Especially the people on Whitebeard's main ship suffered less losses, and the captains all survived. The 43 pirate groups under their command suffered considerable losses. As mentioned before, in order to cooperate with the strategy, the navy focused on attacking these pirate groups, resulting in heavy losses for them. Some pirate group members did not even survive. .

However, no matter what, they still survived. Not only that, they also rescued Ace. In other words, they won. But now the only thing they want to know is what happened to Father Whitebeard.

When they rescued Whitebeard before, everyone knew that Whitebeard's life was hanging by a thread. However, their main ship sank, and their medical team and medical supplies were gone. When they were convening what to do, the man who claimed to be a doctor... Trafalgar Law suddenly appeared in a submarine and expressed his willingness to save people.

After some discussion, they also trusted Whitebeard and sent Whitebeard, who was seriously injured, and Luffy, who was also seriously injured later, onto Luo's ship. Marco followed, after all he was also a doctor. And now they don't know what happened to Father Whitebeard.

The people on both sides quickly met, but after learning about Whitebeard's situation, everyone burst into tears. Whitebeard, Dad, could no longer fight. For the strongest man in the world, this is simply the most painful result.

"Dad!" Ace rushed directly to Whitebeard's bedside, "Yes... it was me who harmed you. It was me who took it upon myself to pursue and kill Teach, so I was caught..."

"Bastard..." Whitebeard yelled, "If I could move, I would teach you a lesson now..."

"Dad..."

"I'm just too old..." Whitebeard said, "It's almost time to retire from this stage. Ace, from today on, you are the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates."

"What?" Ace was stunned for a moment, because it seems that the Whitebeard Pirates did not have the position of deputy captain before. Does Whitebeard mean to train himself to be the successor of the next captain?

"And Linton...he will become the new captain." Whitebeard said suddenly.

"What?" Everyone was shocked and looked at Whitebeard in confusion.

"Wait a minute...this guy is not from our pirate group at all." The speaker was Halta, the captain of the 12th Division.

"Yeah, he's not daddy's son at all." Another person next to him said.

"But I am Ace's uncle." Linton spread his hands and said, "You see, Ace is my nephew. You and Ace's contemporaries are all my nephews. We are a family."

"Hey, what's going on with you?" Ace pulled Linton and said, "You have always looked down on dad, why do you suddenly want to join?"

"Yes, people are useless when they get old, but you are still young." Linton said, "Suddenly there is a lot more free labor to work for me. How cool that would be."

"So you want to be a captain just so we can work for you?" shouted an unknown squad captain next to him.

"Yes." Linton admitted shamelessly, "What else do you want, let me look after you like a nanny? You have to understand that people like Whitebeard who don't ask for anything in return, really There is only one captain who sees you as family, and I am obviously not that kind of person."

"So why..."

"Because I am the only one who can protect you now." Linton said directly before he could finish his words, "Whitebeard cannot continue to fight, and we cannot hide it. Although we are the winner this time, but this The losses on the other side are also very heavy, and the people on this side will definitely take action, but since Whitebeard is unable to fight, this matter will be exposed immediately."

"Kaido and the others..." They immediately understood who Linton was talking about. The relationship between the four emperors was not good, and everyone supported each other, so the situation Linton mentioned would definitely occur.

"In short, only me, an outsider, can temporarily keep you safe as the new captain. To put it simply, the relationship between us is not the kind of relationship you had before between the captain's father and the crew member's son. At present, we are just using each other. That’s it, you use my reputation, and I need you to help me work, that’s all,” Linton said.

"Damn it...I will never admit that you are my captain." A captain said immediately.

"Me too." Another person next to him also said.

"Everyone, be quiet." At this time, Marco suddenly spoke, "I understand what everyone is saying now, and I don't want to admit this guy as our captain. However, now is not the time to say this. Although this war has been won, , but the threat we have to face is not over at all. Even if we don’t admit it, we can only cooperate with him at this time. Do you...do you still want dad to get up from the bed and fight for his life? "

The surroundings suddenly became quiet. Marco's words did shock them a little, but this Linton was really...

"But Marco..."

"Don't be too willful!" Marco suddenly shouted, startling the others.

"Did you really eat too much milk and become just a barker?" Linton spread his hands and said, "So I said, Whitebeard dotes on you too much. After such a war, you still haven't any Grow up? But Marco, who was beaten to death by my punch, has matured a lot."

"Hey, let's talk about it, don't suddenly cause trouble." Marco said, but he quickly turned to the crew, "It's time for us to mature. You are also aware of dad's situation. Do you want to let him go?" Don’t you feel at ease when dad retires? After dad leaves, won’t our Whitebeard Pirates even be able to survive?”

"I also hate this bastard very much." Marco said directly, "But now, we must cooperate with him. If you are not willing, then grow up...grow to be able to support this pirate group, use your Strength, tell dad, don't worry, only we can survive."

Marco's words really moved everyone. Yes, after this battle, they also understood their own shortcomings. It is true that no one here can reach the height of Whitebeard, who can really support the entire pirate group. Whitebeard knew this, so he asked Linton to help them carry it, and what they had to do was not to blame others, but to grow up.

"Damn it...I...get it..."

"I understand, let him be the captain for the time being."

The whole process was watched by White Beard next to him, but he didn't say anything. Now he understands why Linton said that his crew was too cowardly. Is his protection really too much? In short, now is indeed their opportunity to grow. Maybe without him, his sons can go further. Therefore, he did not express any opinion on the current situation and just watched silently.

"In short, now I am the captain, or acting captain, whatever." Linton said, "I didn't care about this position anyway, but no matter what, you must work for me now."

The crew was very unhappy, but didn't say anything.

"Now the first order, I need a large amount of Devil Fruit. Whether you collect it for me or collect information about where there is a large amount of Devil Fruit, start taking action immediately." Linton said.

"Devil Fruit?"

"Start now?"

"What else? Are we going to wait for you to make adjustments slowly? How about we give you a ten-and-a-half-month vacation?" Linton said, "See if your enemies will wait for you to take a vacation to adjust. In short, Start working immediately, who cares about supplies, how many fruits do we have in our pirate group?"

"There should be four or five of these, but I don't know what kind of fruit they are." It was Jozi who spoke, and it seemed that he was in charge of the supplies.

"Where?" Linton asked.

Jozi said it was on an island in the New World, and of course Linton had never heard of the name. After all, the Whitebeard Pirates are the Four Emperors, and they still have some wealth and a lot of treasures. Of course, they are all in their territory in the New World.

Linton asked. It would take about ten days to go there, but Linton still had about twenty days. He should be able to get those devil fruits, so he immediately ordered to go there. . Of course, they originally wanted to return to their own territory in the New World, so there was no conflict.

Just when Linton temporarily took over the position of captain, the news of the war on the top quickly spread throughout the world, causing a violent storm. Whether it was the New World, the front section of the Grand Line, or the whole world, everyone was shocked by this amazing news, and the name of Gol D. Linton was also known to everyone.
