Chapter 175 - 175. Whitebeards Answer (1/2)

Sengoku's words made the marines shut up. He looked at all of them and said.

”New World is the domain of Yonko. If we take the battle to them our chances of victory are slim, however, if the battle is here on Marineford, then who would win isn't absolute.”

One of the marines asked, ”Fleet Admiral, Whitebeard is no fool, he has no reason to come here, much less start a war.”

Sengoku took out a bounty poster and raised it for everyone else to see.

”Fire Fist Ace, second division commander of Whitebeard Pirates. He is in our custody now.”

Damn!

Leo clenched his fist under the table. Whitebeard considers his crew as his family, his closest kin, he wouldn't take it lightly if the marines caught one of them.

”We will hold a public execution of Ace. Whitebeard will come to rescue his son.”

Sengoku said with absolute certainty.

The other marines also agreed. They were all familiar with Whitebeard Pirates.

After a couple of hours the meeting was adjourned.

Leo walked out solemnly.

”This isn't good.”

Shinobu said with a frown.

”War is never good. We gotta move fast, Whitebeard must have gotten the news about Ace's capture. We have to stop him.”

Shinobu agreed.

They were familiar with the route and had a vivre card. So after a day of travel they reached Moby D.i.c.k.

The atmosphere on the ship was slightly off.

”Leo, it's best if you leave. Pops ain't in a good mood.”

Jozu stopped Leo and said.

Leo pushed him aside and said seriously, ”This is important Jozu, move.”

”Alright, go at your own risk.”

Jozu gave way.

Leo stood before Whitebeard and said, ”I can save Ace. I will find some way, don't move out.”

”Boy, I don't need the help of a marine to save my son!”

Whitebeard was truly angry. His haoshoku was fully released. Leo didn't retaliate and stood straight like a mountain.

”I know you don't, but think about your body for one second. You are in no condition to start a war.”

”Are you looking down on me, brat!? I am Whitebeard! I haven't gone senile enough to be worried over by a fledgling!”

Whitebeard growled and said. His voice boomed through the air. The seas rumbled and the skies turned dark in response to his anger.

Leo stared straight at Whitebeard and mumbled, ”You will die.”

Only Whitebeard heard him. The anger he showed disappeared in an instant.

”It's a father's duty bring back his son.”

Leo didn't know what to say. He turned to Marco who watched everything in silence.

”Say something you idiot.”

Marco shook his head, ”Sorry Leo. I am with pops on this one. Ace is our brother, we will bring him back.”
