One Piece: The Strongest Man on the Surface

As the war over the top came to an end, naval forces around the world suffered a severe blow.

Although the top brass of the Navy have made corresponding solutions, the results have been minimal.

More and more navy soldiers are retiring, and pirates are becoming more and more rampant everywhere.

More and more people are setting foot on the new world, eager to create their own legends in this mysterious sea.

At the same time, the eleven pirate supernovas headed by the extremely evil era also stepped into the new world one after another.

Some choose to form alliances, while others choose to act alone.

But without exception, their ultimate goal is to challenge the Four Emperors and pull them down from the altar.

The situation where the four emperors ruled the sea was gradually broken.

The Whitebeard Pirates, who were in the center of the whirlpool, did not make any move at this moment.

Some people speculate that although the Whitebeards seemed to have won the war, they actually paid an unbearable price.

There are also rumors that Whitebeard's body could no longer hold up after this battle.

This strong man who was known as the strongest man could not survive the years.

The rumors became more and more intense, and the pirates became more and more dishonest.

Soon a piece of news broke, completely destroying Whitebeard's prestige.

Whitebeard's territory, the capital of mermaids, and the underwater kingdom of Fishman Island, were announced to be taken over by Big Mom!

This was like a trigger, and countless pirates began to rush into the territory that originally belonged to the Whitebeard Pirates, burning, killing and looting wantonly.

……

"Do you need to come forward to solve it?"

On the deck of the Mobidi, looking at the white beard lying on the bed, Andrew said softly.

"No, it'll be a matter of time."

Whitebeard shook his head. His condition began to gradually deteriorate three days ago. Until this morning, he could not even do simple things like getting up and going to the ground.

Seemingly sensing something, he did not alert anyone, but called Andrew into the room alone.

"Now there are rumors all over the sea that you are going to die, and many people are thinking of taking your head."

Andrew quipped.

"Gu la la la, I'm really looking forward to the appearance of a guy like that."

Whitebeard laughed and acted unconcerned, but soon he became serious again, looking up at the ceiling with a trace of reminiscence in his eyes.

"Mishman Island is the territory of my former friend. I promised to protect it, but I didn't expect that old woman Lingling to take action."

Lowering his head and looking at Andrew beside the bed, he said word by word: "I called you here because I want to ask you. If I die, please help me protect Fish-Man Island so that the people there should not suffer anymore. "

Andrew nodded silently without making a sound, staring straight at Whitebeard, his eyes full of sadness.

"Glala lala, ahem, don't look like this, I'm not dead yet, maybe in a few days I can go and settle the accounts with that old woman myself!"

"……Um"

"Call those guys in..."

Whitebeard lowered his head and covered his mouth and coughed a few more times. Andrew could vaguely see that his palms were covered in black blood.

He didn't know how to speak, so he walked out of the door in a daze.

At this time, the captains of each team were busy, and the continuous bad news made their hearts heavy.

Ace and Marco were wandering outside the room. When they saw Andrew coming out, they rushed forward.

"How's it going? Is Dad okay?" Ace asked anxiously.

Although Marco on the side did not speak, it could be felt from the worried expression on his face that he was also very anxious.

Looking at the two of them, Andrew felt as if his throat was blocked by something. After a long time, he whispered.

"Call all the captains over."

Ace was stunned, but Marco's expression changed drastically.

He, who has always been more thoughtful, suddenly thought of a terrible result.

"Father, he..."

"Don't ask, just go."

Andrew interrupted him, waved his hand and urged.

Ace wanted to say something else, but was forced to leave by Marco.

Andrew was waiting at the door. He didn't dare to enter the room. He was afraid of seeing the twilight of a strong man.

Not long after, all fourteen captains came to the door. Everyone looked at Andrew in silence. No one said anything. Even Ace lowered his head and couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

Andrew opened his mouth, but finally said nothing, turned around and knocked on the door.

"come in."

Whitebeard's slightly weak voice came from inside.

Andrew pushed the door open and the captains followed behind him.

When they saw the white beard on the bed and the blood at the corner of his mouth, everyone felt pain in their hearts.

The father in front of him was in high spirits, but he looked like a patient.

Andrew was also a little surprised, but he quickly understood Whitebeard's intention and stepped aside without saying a word.

"It's all here."

Whitebeard laughed.

"Don't just stand there, find a place to sit."

Ace stepped forward blankly.

"Old, Dad, your body..."

Whitebeard touched his head and said nothing.

After everyone sat down, Whitebeard coughed a few times and spoke slowly: "You must all know what happened recently."

"There are rumors that I am going to die. They started to snatch our territory. Even Big Mom got involved and took away the Fish-Man Island."

"When will our Whitebeard Pirates be able to be ridden by these little minions?! If I'm not here, you can't even protect yourselves?!"

Whitebeard suddenly raised his voice, his tone full of hatred.

A hint of domineering flowed out unconsciously, but no one felt uncomfortable. Everyone lowered their heads, with guilt and humiliation written on their faces.

Taking everyone's expressions into consideration, Whitebeard nodded secretly and continued: "I don't care about the rest, but one thing is that Fish-Man Island is the hometown of my friend and must be taken back!"

"Yes!"

Everyone cheered up and looked at the high-spirited father in front of them, with enthusiasm in their eyes.

At this moment, the invincible man seemed to be back.

"Gu la la la, you are indeed my children. Next, Andrew will replace me as the commander-in-chief and help you fight against Big Mom!"

Everyone's excitement had just begun, but their next words poured cold water on their heads.

"Andrew? Dad, what about you?"

Ace wondered, and Andrew on the side also looked surprised.

He didn't expect Whitebeard to do something like this with him, and he couldn't agree even if he didn't agree.

"Ace, children, my body no longer allows me to go to the deep sea. Andrew is your savior and the benefactor of the entire Whitebeards."

"I hope you can respect him and promise me cough cough cough..."

Before Whitebeard could finish speaking, he began to cough violently again. He quickly covered his mouth, and blood continued to flow from his fingers.

"Dad!"

Everyone was shocked, and Ace quickly stepped forward and patted his back.

After a long time, Whitebeard finally regained his breath and waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

Just as he was about to speak, an unpleasant laughter suddenly came from outside.

"Jie hahaha, dad, I heard that you were going to die, so I came to visit you!"
