Chương 39: 39 Times to Get Serious

"Guurarara~"

"So, you boys are finally getting serious?"

Whitebeard grinned, tightening his grip on his Naginata and increasing his strength a bit.

"This war is a matter of Marines honor, and I won't let you escape so easily."

Aokiji said solemnly.

As he walked, frost spread around him.

The temperature dropped drastically, chilling the surroundings by several degrees. The sky responded with rolling dark clouds, and snowflakes gently descended.

Aokiji goes serious, his power can alter the climate itself!

As Aokiji unleashed his icy power, the ground froze, turning Marineford into an instant winter wonderland!

"It's cold!"

Everyone shuddered.

"Admiral Aokiji getting serious?"

The Marine officers present all showed hope.

Eager to witness the true power of the three Admirals, to overcome Whitebeard and completely turn the tables.

"Aokiji, this guy!"

Seeing this, Sengoku in the distance was also relieved.

He firmly believes that once the three Admirals unleash their full strength, Whitebeard will have no chance of escape, no matter how powerful he may be.

"Father!"

At this moment, Ace, who was blown away, quickly rose to his feet and rushed toward Whitebeard, his face filled with excitement.

"Ace!"

Whitebeard tilted his head slightly, a smile gracing his face.

"Father, let me help you!"

Ace was filled with fighting spirit, his fists ablaze with fiery flames.

"Do not!"

Whitebeard shook his head, slamming his Naginata heavily on the ground. His gaze fixed on the approaching Admiral. "This kind of battle is not something you can participate in!"

Ace is quite strong, at the level of a Shichibukai.

But what about Shichibukai?

Most Shichibukai in front of Admiral and Four Emperors are just slightly stronger pirates.

Even with Ace joining the war, it won't make much of a difference.

"But...."

Ace's face showed a hint of worry.

"Go meet Marco and the others!"

Whitebeard interrupted Ace directly, and his tone became extremely serious: "The war is reaching its end, and it's time to consider retreat, not prolong the fight!"

He remained clear-headed and did not rush into action.

He understood that the Marines had far greater strength than the Whitebeard Pirates.

If the war drags on, the Marines' superior numbers will come into play and the current situation will be reversed.

So he must use this opportunity to ensure the safe withdrawal of the larger forces!

"Father…"

Ace wants to say something else.

But Whitebeard didn't give a chance, but raised his head and shouted.

"Listen up, all Whitebeard Pirates crew members! I'm giving the final order for this war!"

"The war is coming to an end. All crew members…. retreat now!"

A powerful voice echoed across Marineford.

The Whitebeard crew members, engaged in battle with the Marines, abruptly halted their attacks and turned their attention to Whitebeard.

"Jozu, Vista!"

"Command the crew to retreat, I'll handle the old man!"

Marco wings shook as he swiftly soared toward the island. As he glanced back at the two men, one of them shout

"I am coming too!"

Jozu wants to keep up

Just as he began to move forward, Vista stepped in and halted him in his tracks.

"Now is not the time for nonsense. To secure victory in this war, we must retreat our troops!"

"There has to be a way for the old man to escape!"

Vista calmly stated.

"Damn it!"

Jozu cursed, but he remained calm and composed.

"Heeehahaha~"

"Is this war finally coming to an end?"

Doflamingo burst into wild laughter.

"What? Are you planning to continue attacking?"

Crocodile, positioned nearby, remained highly alert.

"I simply wish to observe this war, but I won't help the Marines all the time."

Doflamingo sneered, then looked at Whitebeard back: "But if the crew retreats, how should he, as the captain, make his escape?"

"Or...….."

"Is he willing to sacrifice himself and ensure the safe escape of his sons?"

Once the Whitebeard Pirates manage to escape.

And then group of Vice Admirals and Marine officers are no longer occupied.

With Whitebeard still on the island and considering Sengoku's personality, he will never allow Whitebeard to leave

By then, Whitebeard will not only have to confront three Admirals.

But…

Countless elite Marines, many Rear Admirals, Vice Admirals, Marine Hero Monkey D Garp, and The Budha Fleet Admiral Sengoku!

Under the relentless siege of such a formidable force, no one can survive!

"Hm?!"

Crocodile expression changed, and he quickly turned his gaze towards Whitebeard, anxiety flickering in his eyes: "Old Whitebeard, don't you die!"

When the two talked.

Sengoku delivered a powerful punch, pushing Bullet back, and then called out to all the Marines with a loud voice: "Don't concern yourselves with those people! Now that Firefist Ace has escaped, focus on surrounding Whitebeard!"

Marines cannot afford to lose this war, under any circumstances.

Fire Fist Ace escaped, it doesn't matter.

If Whitebeard is killed, the Marines will emerge as the victorious side in this war.

The impact it would have is even greater than taking down Ace.

"Yes!"

All Marine officers reacted instantly.

Disregarding the evacuated Whitebeard Pirates, they swiftly turned and charged towards Marineford, prepared to encircle Whitebeard!

"Father!"

Marco swiftly rushed through the crowd and reached Whitebeard's side:"The crew has already begun evacuating. Let's hurry!"

"Guurarara~"

"That guy Sengoku won't let me leave easily!"

Whitebeard smiled.

He realized that there were only two ways to escape Marineford.

One option is to abandon Ace and lead the crew away.

The second option is to remain behind, holding off the Marines and buying time for the Whitebeard Pirate Crew to evacuate.

but.....

His purpose in coming here was to rescue Ace.

So he can only choose the second one!

"That...…"

Marco face changed drastically.

"Marco!"

Whitebeard shifted his head slightly, his towering figure engulfing Marco: "Leave here with Ace and the strawhat kid. As for the Marines, I will deal with it!"

He has decided to stay behind.

One person standing alone... against all Marines !!!
