"Those guys won't die, will they?" Jozu stood in front of the railing, looking into the distance. "Father barely exerted any strength. If they can't even break through this huge wave, then they're not worthy of stepping foot in the New World."
Marco grinned casually. "Hahaha~" he chuckled. "They need to learn their place in the New World, or else they'll never understand whose turf they're stepping on!"
Vista leaned in and chuckled. "Guurarara ~" Whitebeard laughed. "These young and reckless scoundrels won't die so easily."
Supernovas might be nothing in his eyes, but in the first half of the Grand Line, these people were like giants. If they couldn't overcome this danger, they didn't deserve to be called supernovas. Whitebeard stepped off from the ship bow and shouted, "Continue sailing!"
"Oouhh~" The crew replied loudly. The ship sailed through wind and waves, heading towards the distant sea.
Two days later, an unnamed island. The Whitebeard Pirates' fleet was anchored by the shore. After a whole day of repairs, the fleet that had been damaged in the war was nearly restored to its original condition. Whitebeard stood at the bow, bidding farewell to some people.
Byrnndi World, Patrick Redfield, Jinbei, Douglas Bullet, Emporio Ivankov, Buggy, and some other prisoners were going to disembark. Redfield was going to the ancient town in search of the bat-bat fruit, following information from Whitebeard's original memory. World wanted to find his subordinates and brother. Ivankov was going back to the country of Kamabakka, his homeland. Buggy sailed alone. As for Bullet, he aimed to leave for a while, preparing himself to challenge Whitebeard.
"Jinbei, are you not staying?" Marco was a little bit sad. Although Jinbei was not a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, everyone on the ship already regarded him as part of their family.
"I have been away from Fishman Island for a while, so I want to go back there and see how things are," Jinbei explained, shaking his head. He looked at Whitebeard seriously and said, "After I handle things on Fishman Island, I hope Father can accept me again to sail on this ship!"
"Guurarara ~" Whitebeard took a sip and smiled. "Then become the commander of the fourth division on my ship." After Blackbeard killed Thatch, the position of the fourth division commander remained empty, and Jinbei was strong and perfectly suited for this role.
"Is this really…really okay?" Jinbei was taken aback.
"Of course, with Jinbei, your strength, I doubt anyone would refuse," Marco replied.
"Yeah!" Vista laughed. "Thank you very much!" Jinbei's heart surged, and he bowed deeply at Whitebeard.
Whitebeard turned to Crocodile and others: "What about you? Will you leave or stay on my ship and sail with me?" Several people took some time to think before making their decisions, and Crocodile did not choose to join.
But since he had nowhere else to go, he decided to stay with the Whitebeard Pirates temporarily.
Prisoners like the Corrupt King Avalo Pizzaro and Shiryu of the Rain who just escaped from Impel Down. Their former forces have long dispersed, leaving them with nowhere to go. So these people chose to join the Whitebeard Pirates and become allied captains within their ranks.
Initially, the Whitebeard Pirates had 43 allied captains leading their fleets. However, with the addition of the Corrupt King Avalo Pizzaro, Shiryu of the Rain, The Crescent Moon Hunter Catarina Devon, Colossal Battleship Sanjuan Wolf, and Heavy Drinker Vasco Shot, the fleet grew to 48 at once.
"Whitebeard, not only did you manage to win the Summit War of Marineford, but you've become even stronger!" World on the side looked with envy.
"Guurarara ~" Whitebeard laughed. "World, Ryder, would you like to stay on my ship?"
World directly refused. "I won't give in to you!"
"This isn't surrender; it's about sailing together on this sea, for people like us remnants of the old era." Whitebeard didn't care about World's rejection because he had a hunch. When they meet again, the three of them will be on the same ship, driving the ship that has stood the test of time, as they continue their voyage.
"Wait till I find the Bat-Bat Fruit." Ryder did not directly refuse. He was once known as the solitary Ryder, setting sail all alone. But little did people know, when he sets sail, he also wants to find like-minded companions. Even to this day, that longing still remains. If he finds the Bat-Bat Fruit and reverts to his youthful self, then he will reclaim the dream that was once lost. Perhaps, at that time, he will agree to sail together.
"Just Go!" World jumped onto a small boat, then looked up at Whitebeard, his voice turning solemn: "After the news of this war spreads, you will replace Roger as the number one enemy of the World government, so don't die… ….. Whitebeard!"
He and Whitebeard are both enemies and friends. One by one, the individuals from the old era passed away, leaving only a few remaining. Only a few old friends remain. He didn't want to hear the news about Whitebeard's death.
"Guurarara ~" "I told you, my journey isn't finished yet. I won't die so easily!" Whitebeard laughed. Under his watch, the other party departed. Ivankov and Buggy, witnessing this, greeted Whitebeard before departing with their own people.
"Whitebeard!" At that moment, Bullet boarded a small boat: "I will challenge you in a month. The title of the world's strongest will surely be mine!" After uttering those words, he gradually vanished into the sea.
When Whitebeard saw everyone leaving, he felt a sense of unexplainable confusion. Neither Byrnndi World, Redfield, nor Bullet, they are not people of this era. He didn't know when they would meet again.
"Father, are we going to set sail?" Marco laughed.
Whitebeard awakened, gazed at those around him, and burst into laughter: "Sons… set sail!"
"Oouhhh~" The crew cheered loudly. Amidst the rolling waves, the Whitebeard Pirates embarked on their journey once more. Their next destination: Sabaody Archipelago! But, what Whitebeard didn't know was that the supernova who survived the huge waves had arrived in the New World. Furthermore, the news of Whitebeard's survival began to spread. The news of the Marineford Summit War spread like wildfire across the world on that very day!
