I really didn’t want to be the Pirate King

……

This is just an island that is not very big to begin with, but there have been a lot of forces paying attention to it recently.

The navy's warships are always hanging around. It is worth mentioning that former Navy Marshal Sengoku and current Vice Admiral Garp are both on this warship.

In addition, other large and small forces are also paying attention to this place.

After the Whitebeard Pirates gradually withdrew from the world stage, it was the Blackbeard Pirates who gained the most, but other forces may not have taken advantage.

For this reason, these forces definitely do not want to see the Whitebeard Pirates awaken.

……

On this day, pirate ships of all sizes came here one after another and stayed on the other side of the island.

The navy's response is also very simple, increase its troops!

What was originally one warship has now become eight warships.

But what can be seen is that the navy does not seem to have any plans to start a war. It is just deploying corresponding forces to be wary of the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Back to Ace.

Let’s talk about the Whitebeard Pirates at their peak. The headquarter had about 1,600 members and had forty-three affiliated pirate groups to its name.

The total number of people must be more than 10,000. After all, they are also known as the strongest Yonko Pirates.

But what about now?

The scale of the pirate ships that have come here one after another is completely incomparable to the one at the top.

At first, Whitebeard summoned all his troops to rescue Ace.

The Whitebeard Pirates at that time were simply terrifyingly powerful.

Among the fourteen captains present, some of the higher ranking ones were very strong monsters, the kind that could face the generals head-on.

As for the captains who are ranked slightly lower, they also correspond to the combat power of the vice admiral level. In the new world, they are also big pirates.

But now?

The Whitebeard Pirates headquarters has less than 500 people. Fortunately, most of the former captains have arrived.

For example, there are more famous captains such as Bista and Jozi.

As for Izo, he has not come here and is probably in Wano Country now.

The above is almost the situation at the headquarters of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Let’s talk about the affiliated pirate group, their number is also pitifully small.

At its peak, there were forty-three affiliated pirate groups, and within two years, sixteen of them were killed by Edward Weibull.

Theoretically, there should be twenty-seven affiliated pirate groups left.

But in fact, there were less than ten pirates who arrived.

Some of them are because they have been destroyed and defeated and can no longer come here. Maybe some of them don't want to gather here.

All in all, even if these affiliated pirate groups are included, the current number of Whitebeard Pirates does not exceed 10,000.

The first battle and the final battle were undoubtedly a huge blow to the Whitebeard Pirates.

These two battles greatly consumed the strength of the Whitebeard Pirates.

This directly caused the strongest pirate group to fall apart and lose its former peak.

Seeing this situation, Marco was actually a little silent.

He felt that the main reason why the Whitebeard Pirates became what they were now was because of him.

After the death of his father, he failed to continue sailing with the Whitebeard Pirates. Instead, he became like this. A large part of the reason was himself.

Two failed battles directly defeated a powerful pirate group.

……

In the house built by Senju Hashirama, Ace sat at the head of the house, looking at the people below in silence.

Most of those who appeared here were the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates.

To be honest, they are in a very good mood now.

Because the news of the resurrection from the dead is true and not a rumor.

Under this situation, Bista felt a little excited inside.

Do you want to regroup the remnants of us to continue the fight to the death with the Blackbeard Pirates?

If that's the case, bring me one!

These captains will appear here, and they are naturally willing to continue fighting the Blackbeard Pirates.

In the final battle, they were indeed defeated miserably.

But the situation now is different. Someone who can lead them to the top has appeared. Defeating the Blackbeard Pirates, regaining their territory, and once again being known as the Four Emperors... these may not be dreams.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry that because of me, you have become what you are now, that the original Whitebeard Pirates have become what they are now, and that my father died because of me."

Ace, who was somewhat silent, said such words inexplicably.

At this moment, he was actually somewhat influenced by the original owner.

There are some words and some things that the original owner has always wanted to accomplish.

He still wanted to say this sorry to the captains in person, and to those who came to the top that day.

"Ace..."

Someone couldn't help but interrupt him, and everyone looked around. It turned out that it was Bista who stood up.

"No need to say sorry, I will come to rescue you that day. It is our decision and no one can influence us."

"Yes, aren't we family? What's the point of saving your own family?"

These words inevitably made him a little silent.

Among these Yonko pirate groups, the only ones with a relatively good atmosphere may be the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates.

They may not be related by blood, but when you are in danger, they will come to your rescue without hesitation.

At this time, he seemed to be able to understand Ace's final mood.

There is no resentment, not much unwillingness, and some are just relieved.

To have a group of relatives like this, it seems that my life has not been in vain.

Taking a deep breath, he slowly stood up and looked at everyone's faces, inevitably feeling a little silent.

"In the past two years, we have lost a lot, and we have nothing to protect. The Blackbeard who was once is now the Yonko like Dad.

The pirate group under his command is far more powerful than us.

Are you really willing? Are you willing to hold on to nothing? "

He paused slightly and said in a deep voice again: "I am not willing to lose everything like this, so I want to regain what we have!

I want to hang up our pirate flag again, the pirate flag of the Whitebeard Pirates!

In addition, I also want to resurrect my father and resurrect those who died because of me... So, I need your power, are you willing to help me? Are you willing to continue helping people like me? "

As the words fell, there was silence in the room.
