Chapter 191 - 191. Whitebeards Final Order! (2/2)
The Whitebeard Pirates cheered and confronted the marines to make a way for Ace and Luffy.
Suddenly the last remaining ship of the Whitebeard Pirates rushed through the battlefield.
”The ship's running on ground!”
Squard and his crew were on top of the ship.
”What are you doing, Squard?!”
Squard was looking through the marines at Whitebeard's figure.
”I can't let things end this way. What I am about to do won't make amendments but I must do it!”
He said to himself.
Whitebeard who was besieged by the marines looked at Squard, his eyes turned into one of rage.
Boom!
He stood before the ship and stopped it with one hand.
Raising his head Whitebeard roared, ”Do you understand how ungrateful it is for a child to die before his parents, Squard?!”
Whitebeard didn't wait for a reply and said, ”Children make mistakes, you made one, that's all Squard.”
Pop's...
Squard hung his head down.
Whitebeard took back his hand and faced the marines and roared, ”We accomplished our goal here!”
”Listen here, you brats!”
”This is my last order as your Captain!”
”All of you and I will split up from here!”
”Everyone, survive at any cost and go back to New World safely!”
The Whitebeard Pirates were stunned.
”No way, you are joking, right? old buddy?!”
”P-Pop's, are you planning to die here?!”
”I refuse to obey!”
Voice of discontent rang among the pirates.
Whitebeard raised his fist and said, ”I'm a remnant from the old era. There is no ship that can bear me in the new one!”
His arms were starting to tremble. Incredible amount of strength was being focused on his fist.
The air was cracking and it spread like a spider web.
”Go, you fools!!”
Bang!!
The cracks shattered like glass.
The walls of the fortress, and the plaza was broken and split in half!
”Pop's...
”No...
Whitebeard looked lonely as he stood before the marines.
He glanced back, ”Don't look back! The era is changing.”
His eyes contained vast emotions as he said, ”I've been traveling for a long time.”
Suddenly his eyes turned sharp and a cold smile climbed on his face, ”Let's get it over with, Navy!”
Whitebeard's momentum increased. The shockwave he set off before started to take effect.
The whole island was starting to rumble.
”He is gonna sink the island!”
”Kill Whitebeard!”
The marines started to attack with abandon. It's either they die or Whitebeard does.
”Pop's!”
”Hurry, let's get out of here!”
”How dare you?! You don't mind leaving Pop's behind?!”
Some of the pirates were holding down their companions from rushing to Whitebeard. All of them were crying as they were being held down.
”Shut up and move! Don't step on Pop's determination!”
One of the commanders yelled with misty eyes.
With the commanders pushing them along the Whitebeard Pirates started to retreat.
Whitebeard laughed wildly and clenched his fist before punching towards marineford.
Leo hadn't moved since the battle started. He didn't know what to do.
If he chose to help the marines then a great man and his crew will die.
If he chose to help Whitebeard then the symbol of justice will fall.
Sengoku obviously knew what was going on with Leo and didn't ask him of anything. It was fine as long as Leo didn't do anything that would tarnish the reputation of the marines.
Finally after seeing Ace free Leo stared at Whitebeard and came to a decision.
He took a step forward and instantly appeared before Whitebeard.
A terrible blast wave was sweeping through the marines and crashing towards marineford.
”Merciful Rain!!”
A bright blue sword ray swept through the ground and clashed against Whitebeard's attack.
