One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

Chapter 256 Conquering the Whitebeard Pirates

The deck of the Moby Dick was silent, and the sunlight naturally fell on the smooth wooden boards, reflecting golden light.

The mast behind Whitebeard reaches straight into the clouds, tall and strong. The wind came from afar, gently caressing the snow-white sails, making a faint sound of breathing.

The sea breeze blew softly across the quiet deck with a whistling sound and the unique smell of the sea.

"Gu la la la, little girl, your tone is really too loud!"

"Although your strength is good, I will not use the children's freedom as a bargaining chip to exchange for my own health."

His sharp eyes revealed strong dissatisfaction. If the other person was not Ace's sister, Whitebeard would never let him go so easily.

The redhead who came to visit before is a good example.

"As expected, you old guys from the old days are as stubborn as cows."

Hearing the expected rejection, An was not discouraged and asked the question from a different angle.

"Whitebeard, how do you plan to rescue your two sons? According to my information, the navy has assembled a hundred thousand elite navy and is preparing to publicly execute Ace and Bista in Marineland."

"Gu la la la, one hundred thousand elite navy, this guy from Warring States period really gave me enough face."

Looking at the other person, he laughed to himself again, put his hand on his forehead, and a tic-tac-toe appeared on his forehead.

"Old guy, I'm asking you how you plan to rescue Ace and Bista. Do you think you're going to summon the pirates under your command and break into Marinel Vando directly?"

He took a swig of wine, his white beard was cold, and his proud voice sounded, "That's right! That's what I think!"

An looked around at the Whitebeard Pirates captains again, and found that each of them acted as if they were taking it for granted, and couldn't help but fall silent.

For pirates, battles are not just soldiers against soldiers, but against generals. Whoever is stronger will win. The so-called strategy does not exist at all.

"Okay, let's take a step back. Even if you really rescued Ace and Bista, how are you going to leave Marinevando?"

"Are you so arrogant that you think that the Whitebeard Pirates and the Four Emperors alone can destroy the entire Navy Headquarters?"

Looking at the pirates who were deep in thought, An was sure that they had never thought about this problem at all.

"To say the least, even if the Whitebeard Pirates can rescue Ace and Bista, they can still escape from the navy's encirclement."

"What about you? Whitebeard!"

"The Buddha's Warring States Period, known as the wise general, has prepared three naval generals, a dozen elite lieutenant generals, countless mid-level combat forces and a hundred thousand naval forces. You should know who it is for."

Lifting the huge wine bottle, White Beard drank heavily without caring about his injuries.

The clear wine dripped from the corner of his mouth and scratched the hideous wounds on his chest.

The coldness in his eyes just now disappeared, and Whitebeard looked at the sons surrounding him kindly, and laughed freely from his throat.

"I am a remnant of the old era, and there is no ship that can carry me in the new world!"

"As long as I can save my stupid son, it doesn't matter if I give my life."

"Dad, you..."

"Gu la la la, silly kids, no one is immune to death. I am a great pirate in the same era as Roger and the Golden Lion. Now it's time for me to exit."

"It was precisely after Sengoku saw this that he dared to publicly execute Ace and Bista."

"Dad! Don't say such depressing words, we can definitely rescue Ace and Bista!"

"That's right! Dad, we are the Whitebeard Pirates! We are the strongest Four Emperors!"

"..."

"..."

In such a picture of a loving father and a filial son, An directly interrupted the other party, "Whitebeard, if you die, it will be over. What should the remaining Whitebeard pirates do?"

"With the strength of your sons, how many can survive the chaotic sea in the future?"

"You should know better than anyone how cruel the fight for pirate hegemony is!"

Along the bloody journey, he defeated countless powerful enemies and left many scars on his body. Whitebeard can naturally tell whether the other party is scaremongering.

An didn't wait for the other party to think more, and continued: "In that case, why not agree to my conditions and let the Whitebeard Pirates join my command, and I will help Ace protect them."

"This is the Whitebeard Pirates, the best choice!"

This time An did not interrupt the other party's thinking and allowed them to weigh the pros and cons. The reason why he spent so much time admonishing the other party was because he liked the character Whitebeard very much in his previous life.

After a long while, after hesitating, Whitebeard finally compromised. Just like his father, he could ignore his own life and death, but he could not help but think about the future for his beloved child.

It is precisely because he has experienced the bloody battle for pirate hegemony that he has a better understanding of how crazy pirates can be for power and status.

"Gu la la la, I agree to your terms, but I hope you won't break your promise."

"Listen up, sons. From today on, this guy is our vice-captain. She will be in charge of the Whitebeard Pirates when I am away."

"Vice Captain!" x N

With An's demonstration of strength just now and Sister Ace's identity, no one resisted much.

He waved his hands to signal everyone to be quiet and walked slowly to Whitebeard.

"Now it's my turn to keep my promise!"

Placing his palm on the opponent's arm, An Yong carefully explored the opponent's injuries. With the help of powerful insight, he could clearly see the hidden wounds in Whitebeard's body.

It has to be said that he can survive until now thanks to his strong physical fitness.

In addition to the various scars left by the battle, the most serious damage to Whitebeard's physical condition was the side effects of the Zhenzhen Fruit. Every blood vessel and organ in Whitebeard's body had cracks to varying degrees.

Such a body can still explode with the powerful strength just now. It really deserves the name Whitebeard.

"Vice Captain, how are you doing?"

Feeling the earnest gazes of Marco and others, An nodded and said, "Whitebeard, it's a miracle that you can survive to this day."

"The next treatment may be a little painful, so bear with it."

Immediately, a gleaming green light appeared on the palm of his hand, and the majestic flame of life penetrated into Whitebeard's body, traveling through every blood vessel and organ in his body, repairing his broken body.

As time passed, a steady stream of flames of life continued to be output, and An's face became paler. On the contrary, Whitebeard's face gradually became rosy.

Healing costs more than destroying, and this has been true since ancient times.

After another hour, An's forehead was covered with sweat, and the treatment was finally over.

Pulling off the needle inserted into his body, Whitebeard stood up from his seat and walked towards the side of the ship at a snail's pace.

The knotted muscles on his arms exerted force, and veins bulged like dragons. A white ball of light appeared on his fist, and he punched the calm sea.

Suddenly the space shattered, and an invisible force of vibration erupted, pushing the seawater to form a small tsunami several stories high.

Feeling that his body was free from disease and pain, Whitebeard's iconic crescent beard vibrated and he burst out laughing happily.

Although his strength is no longer what it used to be, his current physical fitness will no longer hinder him in fighting.

"Gu la la la, silly sons are having a party to welcome our vice-captain."
