C157 Head? (1/2)

As the coast behind them became further away, the sea bandits gradually regained their calm. They could only convince themselves that this situation was acceptable, that the white beard had sacrificed them in exchange for everyone's safety.

”Thank you for your help this time, but we are irreconcilable with the navy. We will definitely avenge our father!”

He had to force himself to do it.

Your life is earned back, okay.

Li Jie said in his heart. If not for his appearance, Arce would have disappeared long ago. However, he was still very happy. After all, Arce had been rescued.

However, he didn't know if this was a good or bad situation for Ace. After all, from now on, he would have to bear the burden of revenge.

A few surviving captains gathered in the cabin.

”I'm sorry to have caused so many casualties, even old man …”

He really wasn't worth it for others to sacrifice too many people for him, in exchange for his own life.

”Don't say that. We won't leave any of our comrades behind.”

Marc also knew the seriousness of the situation. Ace had been saved, but they had lost their most beloved father.

This was the most disastrous price they had ever paid. Their father was the reason why they were able to achieve so much.

All of them looked as if they had lost their backbone. All of them were listless and did not feel very happy about Ace's rescue.

”What are you going to do in the future? Is the white-bearded bandit group going to be disbanded just like that? ”

Li Jie didn't know what these captains would choose to do. Without the white beard, they didn't know if they could continue to unite.

”For the time being, I don't have any plans. But today, thanks to you, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape safely.”

Li Jie's performance today could only be described as stunning. He was not afraid of the three generals at all, and he even fought evenly with the Battle Emperor. Such a feat could be described as magnificent, and none of the captains here could do it, or could do it in this new world.

”You flatter me. I didn't do anything.”

Li Jie also expressed his friendliness. Today was indeed an extraordinary day to him. Not only did he save Ace, he even reaped the Devil's Fruit.

”Right now, we are a group of white-bearded sea bandits without a leader. I wonder if you have any intentions of joining us and becoming our leader first. I think everyone has no objections.”

As the leader of the echelon, Marko's words naturally carried some weight, and that was the truest thought in his mind.

After all, as a group of pirates, without a leader, there was no way for them to accomplish much.

White Beard had just been in trouble, so it wasn't that they were ungrateful. It was only by being united that they could pay for him.

Huh?” ”No, no.

Li Jie was shocked. He was used to being alone, how could he become the leader of a group of thousands of pirates? This didn't suit him at all.

”How modest, we have already seen your strength on the battlefield, especially when you are fighting against the Warring States. You are not at a disadvantage at all. You can be our captain, but we must regroup and pay for our father!”

Ace also agreed with Malco. He must take revenge for his father. Li Jie was so powerful that even the navy wanted to recruit him. Now was the right time to keep him.

”I was just casually hitting him, it's not easy to take on a big task. You have so many captains, anyone can be the leader. I think Marko will suffice.”

After Li Jie said this, the dozen captains smiled meaningfully.
