One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

(New World Naval War, after the war, the time is appropriately regressed)

Unlike the navy, the Whitebeard Pirates have been shrouded in a relatively sad atmosphere since the war.

"Gulala, my sons, there is no need to be sad. The men of the sea died in battle on the sea. What is there to be sad about?"

In this war, the Whitebeard Pirates suffered heavy losses.

First, during the decisive battle of the G1 branch, Carsent's black tortoise shell pressure directly crushed most of the ordinary pirates into meat paste. Even the powerful cadres were injured and had dislocated bones.

Afterwards, in this state, they landed and engaged in a fierce battle with the navy, and about one-third of the pirates were killed by the navy's blades.

With this calculation, except for the captain of the 13th squad, an unknown unlucky pirate who died in battle, all other captains returned safely.

But below the squad leader, the ordinary cadres and pirates suffered heavy casualties, with more than two-thirds losing their lives in the G1 branch.

Whitebeard is also a sentimental person. No matter how strong the entire pirate group is, as long as they are on board, they are all Whitebeard's good sons.

As a result, he, as a father, failed to bring all his sons back safely.

Although in Whitebeard's heart, his sons are also divided into different levels. For example, in order to save one son, Ace, Whitebeard risked sacrificing so many sons to attack the Marine Headquarters.

But no matter what, as long as you join the Whitebeard Pirates, you will get Whitebeard's care and concern.

"Kids, you're still alive!"

"We, the Whitebeard Pirates, have not failed. This is the rule of the sea. After the battle, we must hold a party to celebrate. Sons, get ready. The party will be tonight!"

Whitebeard paused, raised the wine jar with his left hand, and the cold wine flowed into his mouth. From time to time, a trace of sadness flashed in his open-minded eyes.

"Dad is right, our dead brothers wouldn't want to see us depressed!"

"This glass of wine is for the brothers who died!"

Hearing Whitebeard's statement, Marco also stood up, walked to the edge of the deck, and gently sprinkled the sake in his hand into the sea. The clear wine merged with the surging sea.

"Cheers to my brothers!"

Beside Marco, more and more pirates followed Marco's example and poured the wine in their hands into the sea!

Pirates, like the navy, will not grieve too much for the deceased. After all, in this world where war, sacrifice, and death have become the norm, excessive sadness will instead affect normal life.

Pirates, a profession that lives on the edge of a knife, are accustomed to death. They can quickly get relief and liberation from the sorrow of their comrades' deaths, and thus enjoy a better future!

"Oh! The party is about to start!"

"Long live the party!"

After a short memorial service, the Whitebeard Pirates were filled with laughter again. The pirates took out their treasured fine wine and meat, and some captains even went to sea to hunt and kill sea kings in person to prepare enough food for the evening banquet.

Seeing that the pirates have regained their former happiness, Marco then follows Whitebeard into the room.

"Dad, did we lose this battle?"

As the door closed, the smile on Marco's face disappeared instantly and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Gulala, my dear son, these are not things you should worry about!"

"I'm not old yet!"

Whitebeard smiled and patted Marco on the shoulder. He knew exactly what Marco was worried about.

But now Whitebeard is only forty-five or forty-six years old, which is the peak period of his career. Marco does not need to worry about the affairs of the pirate group.

This is not the situation twenty years later, when Whitebeard is very old and the entire pirate group is broken up with no successor.

"Dad, just tell me, I don't really understand what happened in G1."

Marco raised his doubts. He always felt that this war started off well but ended badly.

The pirate group has been preparing for such a long time that even the Roger Pirate Group was involved in the conspiracy. They divided their troops into three groups and advanced simultaneously in the New World, with a huge momentum.

As a result, they only fought a battle in the G1 branch and then chose to retreat. They did not forcibly occupy the G1 branch. Before they could react, the battle was over.

"Gulala, we didn't lose this time, we are even the winners!"

In the eyes of the navy, the navy blocked the pirates' attack on G1, thus completely destroying the pirates' delusion of occupying the New World. This is called victory.

But for Whitebeard, the pirate group destroyed all branches except G1 and cut off all the navy's spies. A single G1 branch could not support the navy to continue advancing into the New World.

After this battle, most of the sea areas in the New World belong to pirates. This is the victory of pirates.

"The reason why I agreed to Shiki the Golden Lion's request is to drive the navy away and turn the New World into a world of pirates. In this way, I can create a world for you to sail freely."

"How can this be called a lost war?"

Whitebeard laughed and gently pushed Marco out.

"Oh, so that's how it is..." Marco nodded thoughtfully. Although it felt a bit strange, according to his father's analysis, it seemed to be true.

After waiting for Marco to leave, Whitebeard was the only one left in the huge room.

From Whitebeard's perspective, in this battle, what Whitebeard was most worried about was the growth of the new generation of the navy.

The new generation of the navy is growing too fast, so fast that it is too late to stop it.

Especially Carsente, the Navy rookie who has faced him several times.

Whitebeard had never seen such a horrible (disgusting) devil fruit. Whitebeard knew very well that Carsent's Xuanwu Fruit had not awakened.

But the Xuanwu form without determination has such terrifying (disgusting) defense that it can withstand multiple top-level combat forces on its own.

Even Whitebeard could feel Xuanwu's terrifying adaptability and recovery ability. Even if he used all his strength and used the Tremor-Tremor Fruit under the awakening ability of the fruit, he could only cause damage to Carsent at the beginning.

This was almost Whitebeard's strongest attack. When Whitebeard saw that Shiki and Silver Axe were unable to stop the advance of the giant black tortoise, the strongest man in the sea felt somewhat helpless.

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit, which has the power to destroy the world, is unable to completely destroy this giant basalt beast.

Even if I, or even Lone Red, joined forces, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to inflict fatal damage to Carsent.

As long as Carsent is there, the Navy Headquarters and even the World Government will be invincible.
