Chapter 1128: Aftermath (Whitebeard's Choice Part )
The flags of these ships were tattered and the ships were in tatters, as if they had experienced a brutal naval battle.
Even the Moby Dick, the ship they were on, was devastated by the artillery fire, as if telling of its former glory and current desolation.
Looking at the dejected crew members on the ship, Marco felt increasingly depressed.
Tens of thousands of pirates went out to fight, but only a thousand returned.
The captains of each team were either killed, disabled, or ran away halfway.
All this made him realize that this team had lost its former dignity and strength.
Perhaps, before the Battle of Cake Island began, they were still the proud Whitebeard Pirates.
However, when Whitebeard was easily defeated by Charlotte, the god in their hearts collapsed instantly.
Marco knew very well what this failure meant to the Whitebeard Pirates.
Not only did they lose their homes, but more importantly, they lost their morale and confidence.
Now they need time to recover and regain their glory.
Whitebeard looked at his dejected sons around him with an expressionless face.
I am also deeply saddened.
He had been avoiding war, but war finally came.
He wanted to stop the war, but was forced to join it.
Eventually they were defeated.
"I can't stay in the New World anymore!"
Whitebeard looked at the vast ocean.
There was confusion in his eyes.
"why?"
As soon as these words came out, all the crew members around raised their heads.
"There is only one overlord of the New World, and we are standing in Charlotte's way!"
Whitebeard felt a little bitter inside.
There came a day when Whitebeard was beaten so badly that he couldn't go home.
"Dad, this!"
The crew members were stunned.
Dad was right, there was no place for them in the new world.
"Dad, Charlotte wants to get the entire New World, but the World Government won't agree. Otherwise, let's wait a little longer!"
Marco hesitated for a moment before speaking.
As soon as these words came out!
Everyone understood what Marco meant.
Join forces with the World Government!
After hearing this, Whitebeard remained silent and was reluctant to speak.
Join forces with the world government?
The moral principles in Whitebeard's heart do not allow him to do this!
But the current situation is that if Charlotte pulls his hand away, all of them will die.
This is something Whitebeard would never want to see.
For his own son.
Whitebeard looked at the many hopeful eyes.
Whitebeard understood that the New World was everyone's home.
It is not only their home, but also my home.
Just when everyone was hesitating.
The cries of the newspaper seller were heard in the sky.
All members of the Whitebeard Pirates looked up at the sky.
I saw a wireless radio hanging on the newspaper seller's body.
"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, the new world war has stopped, the war between the Rockefeller Kingdom and the World Government has ended!"
"Newspapers for sale, newspapers for sale!"
A voice came from the radio.
This voice is the voice of Morgause.
Whitebeard frowned.
The Rockefeller Kingdom and the World Government have ended the war?
What happened to both of them?
Whitebeard was thinking secretly.
And Marco had already waved.
"Newspaper bird, give me some newspapers!"
Marco waved at the newspaper seller.
"Gah!!"
When the newspaper seller heard this, he immediately flew over their heads, took out a few newspapers and threw them down.
Marco also threw Berry into the newspaper seller's pocket.
Holding the newspaper, he walked towards his father while flipping through it.
"The New World Overlord: Rockefeller Charlotte!"
The first report that caught Marco's eye made his heart skip a beat.
A bad premonition came into Marco's heart.
《The Five Elders of the World Government and Rockefeller Charlotte of the Rockefeller Kingdom reached a consensus that the New World will be ruled by the Rockefeller Kingdom, ending the war between the two sides! 》
The second piece of news instantly made Marco's eyes widen.
"Dad, something big happened!"
Marco ignored the other news and handed all the newspapers to Whitebeard.
Upon hearing this, White Beard picked up the newspaper and started reading.
The more he looked, the deeper his frown became.
"How can this be?"
Whitebeard's eyes widened.
The World Government actually gave in.
The world government that has ruled the world for 800 years has actually given in.
Back then, Rocks was unable to get the World Government to give in.
But Charlotte made the World Government give in.
"What on earth did Charlotte do? What is the World Government afraid of?"
Whitebeard continued to flip downwards.
Soon, the answer was found.
"Suspected to be Pluto? Could it be true?"
Whitebeard thought of a rumor.
This rumor has been around for more than ten years.
According to legend, the Rockefeller Kingdom found the Pluto battleship and was building Pluto.
This rumor caused quite a stir at the time.
This attracted numerous forces to send spies to Kami Island to investigate.
As a result, after half a year of investigation, all the islands under the Rockefeller Kingdom were explored.
Especially those shipyards, no trace of the production of Pluto was found at all.
You have to know that Pluto can sink an island with one shot.
Its construction is by no means a matter of days or nights, and it costs a lot.
It can't be concealed at all.
After half a year of investigation without any trace, everyone came to the conclusion.
The Rockefeller Empire was lying, or rather, the person who delivered the message was lying.
I didn't expect this to be true.
Why did Whitebeard believe it so firmly?
Because apart from this, Whitebeard could not think of any other reason for the World Government to negotiate with Charlotte.
This also shows what Whitebeard is thinking.
Although Whitebeard was defeated by Charlotte in just half a day.
But Whitebeard was unwilling to accept the result in his heart, if it weren't for the hidden injuries in his body and his old age.
Whitebeard doesn't think he is no match for Charlotte.
His proud heart was always unwilling to believe it.
I don't even want to believe that Charlotte has surpassed Rocks.
Whitebeard always compares Rocks to Charlotte.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
What Charlotte did was far more powerful than what Rocks did.
Charlotte has surpassed Rocks and even the so-called Pirate King Roger.
But Whitebeard never believed it.
I can't believe that this villain Charlotte can become so powerful.
In his heart, Whitebeard has always admired heroes.
Like Rocks who we met at the beginning.
Although Rocks changed later, Whitebeard still remembered Rocks who once invited him to join his big family.
The second is Roger.
Roger has always been a person that Whitebeard admires.
If there is anyone who can be considered a true hero in this ocean.
Whitebeard would tell him without hesitation.
It's Roger.
As for other people, Whitebeard was disdainful.
Including Charlotte.
A person's first impression will always stay with him throughout his life.
When faced with Rocks' threat, Charlotte chose to join without hesitation.
Whitebeard already looked down on Charlotte in his heart.
