After Whitebeard announced this, the ship suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of heavy breathing.

Except for a few captains, the other members of the Whitebeard Pirates were all very surprised.

They never thought that one day Whitebeard would choose to retire and pass on the position of captain.

Most of them are orphans, persecuted by other pirates or homeless.

It was because of Whitebeard's words "Come and be my son" that they came together, became a family, and formed such a huge Whitebeard Pirates.

It was all thanks to Whitebeard that everyone joined the Whitebeard Pirates.

The Whitebeard Pirates may be a little different from most other pirate groups.

The members on the ship truly treat each other as family members, brothers and sisters. The Whitebeard Pirates are a big family, and Whitebeard is the head of this big family.

There is no doubt what will become of a family without a head.

It’s not that they don’t approve of Ace, but they just can’t accept Whitebeard stepping down as captain.

"Dad, if you're not the captain anymore, can we still be the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"Dad..."

"Dad, don't do this."

Ace was also shaking his head frantically at this time, "Dad, I can't be the captain."

Whitebeard raised his hand and placed it on Ace's shoulder, "Ace, you can do this."

Then he turned to his sons on the boat and said, "My sons, we will eventually grow old, and the huge gears of time are always rolling forward.

No one can resist the erosion of time, including me.

The world is just the way it is. The older generation can’t always stay in their original positions, and I can’t always be your protective umbrella.

Each of you has become a strong person who can stand on your own feet, and it is time for me to retire and enjoy my old age."

"Dad..."

"Dad...we..."

When everyone on the boat heard Whitebeard's words, they knew that he had decided to retire.

They all burst into tears.

Even the captains who had known about this matter for a long time had tears in their eyes.

Seeing this, Whitebeard frowned slightly and shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? I'm not dead yet! Don't act like I'm dead."

Ace shook his head again, "Dad, I should just be the new guy on the ship. Even if you want to retire, the captain's position should be given to someone else, not me."

Whitebeard looked at Ace in front of him, then looked at everyone on the ship, and then announced loudly: "Issuing the captain's order now! From today on, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates is no longer Edward Newgate, and Podocas D. Ace will succeed him as the new captain. There will be no more duplication!"

When everyone heard this order, they no longer dared to hesitate and knelt down in front of Whitebeard, "Yes! Captain!"

Whitebeard was sitting in his seat and looking at the scene in front of him, very happy.

In the distance, where the sea and the sky meet, the morning sun rises slowly.

Sprinkle soft yellow light between heaven and earth.

The sunlight was warm, and White Beard knew that in a few hours this rising sun would turn into a scorching sun.

Just like this ship of sons.

His original intention in establishing the Whitebeard Pirates was to provide a place for these homeless sons to stay. Now everyone has grown into independent figures.

His wings are no longer needed.

He knew that he couldn't protect such a group of lovely sons for his whole life, and the Whitebeard Pirates didn't belong to him alone, but to everyone.

As long as we are together, we are the Whitebeard Pirates.

What's more, Ace is indeed an excellent candidate for captain, with ability and responsibility.

Ace knelt on the ground, his eyes slightly red. He knew that although Whitebeard was a kind old man, as long as he said the words "Captain's orders", it meant that he was the one who kept his word.

Whitebeard looked at the people kneeling in front of him, feeling deeply moved. At the same time, he was also relieved that he could finally retire and spend time with those leopard print nurses...

cough cough...

Far away.

He waved his hand and said loudly:

"Gulala, the little ones are having a party."

Yamato has witnessed the harmony among the Whitebeard Pirates, which is a completely different state from that of the Beasts Pirates.

It would be better to say that they are a family rather than a pirate group. Although she has been in the Whitebeard Pirates for less than a day, she has been completely infected by this atmosphere.

No longer restrained, no longer confused.

...

The banquet was soon ready.

This banquet was more grand than previous ones.

Because this is a banquet for the old captain to retire and the new captain to take over.

Whitebeard was still sitting on the huge chair under the mast. He was holding a wine gourd and drinking from it in big gulps, looking very happy.

I can now be considered to have accomplished my mission and retired.

For the rest of the people on the ship, they were quite accepting of Ace becoming the new captain.

Although Ace has only been on the ship for three years, his achievements on the ship are quite outstanding.

As one of the Four Emperors' pirate groups, the Whitebeard Pirates have battles from time to time, and almost everyone on the ship has been saved by Ace.

Ace is not only the second strongest fighter on the ship, but according to Whitebeard himself, Ace's strength is no weaker than his own. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the strongest fighter on the ship.

Ace is also Lot's apprentice and the biological son of Roger of the Pirate Group.

More importantly, Ace is very humble, reasonable, and has a very flexible mind.

Some members of the Whitebeard Pirates have imagined that if Whitebeard retires, Ace will definitely be the next captain.

Before the party started, Marco dragged Ace to the middle of the deck.

Ace was confused, "Hey, hey, hey, Marco, what are you doing?"

"You are the new captain now, you should at least say a few words."

The other people on the boat also nodded at this time.

"Yes, Captain, say a few words."

Ace scratched his head and looked at Whitebeard.

Then he walked up to Whitebeard and knelt down.

"Dad, thank you for recognizing me and treating me as your son, allowing me to experience the fatherly love that I have never had before.

It is you who made me understand the true meaning of this world. Since you gave me the position of captain, I will definitely not let you down."

Whitebeard gladly accepted Ace's gift, laughing loudly: "Gulala, Ace, you are the captain now, how can you kneel down so easily?"

He waved his hand and said, "Get up. The captain should act like a captain."

Ace nodded and stood up, then turned to the people on the ship and said:

"Um...Thanks to everyone's kindness, I have become the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates. Here are a few captain's orders."

Everyone pricked up their ears to listen.

“First, the Whitebeard Pirates are the Whitebeard Pirates, there is no name change!

Second, all settings and positions on the ship do not change.

Third, although Dad is not the captain, his status is equivalent to that of the captain.

Fourth, let’s have a party! "

"Oh!!!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone shouted loudly.

The banquet on the ship was in full swing, and the news of the changes in the Whitebeard Pirates spread like wildfire throughout the entire pirate world.
