One Piece - I'm Whitebeard

Rumble~

The huge waves crashed down with tremendous force.

The pursuing warships gradually faded into the distance and vanished from sight.

The crew of the Whitebeard Pirates erupted in cheers as they realized they had successfully evaded the pursuit.

"We made it! We're free!"

"Hahahaha, of course, Pops ability can easily set off waves, and the sea is Pops territory!"

"This war is over, we have won!"

They couldn't contain their happiness and joy.

This war is unlike anything they've ever seen before.

No pirate group could have possibly won this battle.

But.....

They won!

They achieved an unprecedented miracle!

Amidst the cheers, the entire crew gazed at the figure standing at the bow of Moby Dick, their eyes filled with reverence and admiration.

This man is their father!

The crew's unwavering loyalty and commitment were reserved for the man who had not only led them to victory in the war but also earned their eternal allegiance, even in the face of death.

"Guurarara~"

As Whitebeard sensed the admiration from his crew, he turned around, arms wide open, and burst into hearty laughter.: "Sons… prepare the banquet!"

"Oh oh oh~~"

"I must get drunk this time!"

"Ahhhh, Damn it, I can't get up because I am injured now!"

"Hahaha, Dosu, just sit back and watch us enjoy our drinks!"

The crew cheered and laughed.

soon.....

All sorts of food and drinks lay before them.

Whitebeard settled back in his seat, seized the jar, raised it high, and gulp down the wine.

Witnessing this, the rest of the crew followed suit, indulging in their feast and drinks.

"The war has just ended, and yet here we are celebrating with a feast!"

Ivankov face twisted with panic as he clutched at his hair in distress. "What if Marine catches up while we're all drunk!"

"Guurarara~"

Whitebeard heard this and put down the jar again:"If that Sengoku guy wants to chase us, we'll just have to fight him again. Maybe we'll even get the chance to remove his arm. That wouldn't be so bad!"

"Yeahhh!"

The crew laughed.

"The reason why we came to the sea is for this kind of life!"

The crew member named Dosu lay on the deck, his body wrapped in a white bandage. Although he could not stand up, he held a bowl of wine in his hand.

"If you can't live freely, what's the point of it!"

After saying that, he gulped down the wine in his bowl.

Perhaps it was because of too much movement, the blood seeping through his bandages.

But he paid no attention to it and continued to cheer alongside his companions.

"Cheers! Let's celebrate our victory in this war!"

The crew's bowls clinked together, filling the surrounding with laughter.

Amidst the laughter, Ace approached Whitebeard, his eyes filled with emotion as he looked at Whitebeard and his companions, his eyes welling up with tears.

"Father…and everyone!"

Ace clenched his fist tightly.

before.

He had always searched for the answer to the question of his existence.

After the battle, he realized that he wasn't alone and that everyone on the ship was his family.

So he wanted to show his gratitude through this feast!

but...….

Before Ace could speak.

He felt a hand gently resting on his head.

Looking up, he saw Whitebeard, with a warm smile on his face, looking down at him while enjoying his drink.

"Guurarara~"

"It's time to celebrate. Don't be sad during the banquet!"

Whitebeard smiled casually.

"Ace...…."

Marco on the side raised his head, a smile appeared on his face: "No need for so much formality among family!"

He knew that Ace wanted to express his gratitude.

But in a family, support for one another is natural.

As Whitebeard had stated earlier, their mission to rescue Ace was driven by their deep bond as brothers.

"Hahahaha~"

"Ace, standing here among us, do you want to shed tears for all to see?"

Vista, who was nearby, burst into laughter.

"The last time Ace shed tears was when he first boarded the ship, wasn't it?"

"At that time, he was defeated by Father hundreds of times."

"It's really embarrassing!"

The crew laughed.

"You guys...….."

Not only did Ace not feel angry upon hearing this, but his heart swelled with emotion, and tears flowed uncontrollably down his cheeks.

He understood that these teasing words were actually meant to console him in their own way.

As Marco said.

Family doesn't require formalities or politeness.

He brushed away the tears, a smile reappeared, and he joined the cheering group once again.

The banquet continues.

Hours passed, and it was only then that they could finally take a break and rest.

The crew members, drunk and exhausted, lay sprawled on the ship's deck.

"These guys!"

Marco gave a wry smile, then walked toward Whitebeard.

At the banquet, he left for a while.

During this time, he used the Den-Den Mushi to contact various locations within the Whitebeard Pirates' territory to gather information about the current situation outside.

"Father, I just contacted people at our territory."

"Hmm?."

Whitebeard opened his eyes.

"The territories under our control haven't been attacked yet. However, we've received information that during our attack on Marineford, Kaido attempted to target one of our towns, but Red Hair managed to intervene and prevent it."

"Also, Big Mom Pirates have made some moves, but we don't have specific details about their actions yet."

Marco said solemnly.

"Yes?"

Whitebeard didn't pay attention to this: " That kid Kaido, does he have the courage to attack my territory now?"

After speaking, he waved his hand dismissively, indicating that he wasn't concerned about it.

Because of such matters, as long as news of his victory spreads, it can be resolved.

"Father!"

At that moment, Jozu rushed over in a hurry: "There's a large fleet of ships ahead, and they're getting closer to us!"

"what?"

"Are Marines chasing us?"

Marco was taken aback.

"No, they're all pirate fleets. Based on their flags, they're the supernovae from the first half of the Grand Line!"

Jozu shook his head.

"Supernova?"

Whitebeard suddenly heard the news.

He recalled that in the original story, those supernova were observing the battle from the sea nearby

Law, one of the supernovae, also rescued the Strawhat Luffy,

"And there's also a special ship among them."

He raised his arm and pointed forward.

The two followed Jozu's finger and looked ahead.

They saw a three-masted sailing ship approaching in the sea ahead.

At the top of the ship's mast, a pirate flag with two red bars on its left eye fluttered in the wind.

The people present recognized the flag instantly.

Because of that flag, everyone knew it belonged to the Red-Haired Pirates, one of the Four Emperors of the New World.

In other words... Red-Hair is here!
