Chapter 24 - Conclusion (2/2)
Luffy: I don't really know him though, but since he helped me save your life I guess he is
Oscar: Wow
I was amazed and shocked one of my most favourite anime characters just called me his friend, this must be one of the best days of my life. As we were chatting I noticed that the enemy was now getting closer, in fact they were all armed and ready to fight us three. All three of us made our way into the battlefield, as I was fighting, I was greatly burdened with having to carry number 3's body around.
However, I managed to witness Ace and Luffy's combination of techniques together, in fact it looked really cool. We kept on fight until the point where the division commanders were standing in front of us and made an escape route for Ace and Luffy. However, I now noticed that I was finally here the moment of where Whitebeard would sacrifice himself for his children. I looked towards White beard and saw him facing the marine by himself with no one besides him.
Whitebeard: All right listen up, this is my final captain's orders
Everyone who were there at that moment were shocked by what Whitebeard just said, in fact his sons were the most shocked
Whitebeard member #1: What! Pops what are you saying
Whitebeard members: Pops don't do this
Whitebeard: Did you not hear me, GO NOW, this is a captain's order
Every single one of his crew members cried but still obeyed his orders, I then tossed number 3 to the nearest whitebeard member who was following orders.
WB member: Huh?
Oscar: Could you hold onto him for a sec, please
I then turned back and saw Ace now kowtowing towards Whitebeard, however before he could say anything Whitebeard cut him off.
Whitebeard: You don't need to say anything, just answer me this ace, Was I a good father?
Ace who had his head facing downwards was crying and sobbing, however he still answered Whitebeard's question.
Ace: Yes, and you will always be
Whitebeard then faced the navy with his back towards his children hoping that he might save them and destroying the Marine ford HQ. However, I had to ruin that moment as I really hated this self-sacrificing part of his that would make me cry.
Oscar: Oi
Whitebeard: Huh? Oh its you, why are you not leaving did you not hear me
Oscar: First of I am not one of your sons ok, and second, I want to ask you two things
Whitebeard: Go ahead but make it quick, since I owe you for the pill
He then sent a tremor attack towards the Marine ford and then back me to answer my question
Oscar: Are you sure you want an ending like this
Whitebeard: Kid, within the decades that I have lived in, I only had one important thing in my life
Oscar: What?
Whitebeard: Family and if dying will save them, then I will do just that
Oscar: Second, what is Haki to you, whitebeard
Whitebeard: There are many ways of interpreting Haki, but the simplest one is the will of everything
I finally got my answer and left whitebeard to find Ace and Luffy before something bad happens, I then suddenly heard someone shouting out loud from afar.
Akainu: What a bunch of cowards but makes sense since their captain is nothing but a failure of the previous era.
Ace then stopped and turned towards Akainu
Ace: You take that back
Akainu: Why should I when it is the truth
Marco/Luffy/WB members: Don't listen to his words Ace
However, akainu took this chance to continue his insults towards whitebeard and taunting ace, after having enough of Akainu, Ace attacked him. Luffy at that point tried to get ace back to his senses, as they needed to leave right now or else they might waste Whitebeards efforts. However, his fatigue from going over his limits finally overtook his body, Akainu did not miss this and decided to attack luffy.
Akainu: Even if I let the other's escape I will not let you two get away
Ace: No luffy
~Boom~
Akainu: Huh?
