Chapter 173 Edward Newgate

After greeting Marco and Oden, Ling Tian turned his gaze to Marco and asked, "Marco, where is Whitebeard?"

When Marco heard Ling Tian's words, he immediately straightened up and responded quickly: "Dad is in the room."

Hearing Marco's answer, Ling Tian nodded slightly, nodded gently to them, a grateful smile appeared on his face, and said: "I'll go talk to him."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards Whitebeard's room with firm and powerful steps.

Ling Tian took firm steps, and the wooden planks under his feet made a slight "creaking" sound. He walked along the winding corridor, and the sea breeze poured in from the window, blowing the corners of his clothes.

Soon, he arrived at Whitebeard's door.

He raised his hand, bent his fingers slightly, and knocked gently on the door.

The knock on the door sounded in the quiet corridor, the sound was crisp and rhythmic, and it was particularly clear.

The originally quiet atmosphere in the room was broken by the knock on the door.

Soon, Whitebeard's deep and powerful voice came: "Come in."

The voice seemed to come from the abyss, full of majesty and power.

Hearing Whitebeard's permission, Ling Tian took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He stretched out his right hand, tightly grasped the door handle, and slowly turned it.

With a slight "creak" sound, the door was slowly opened.

There was a faint smell of tobacco in the room.

Whitebeard was sitting on a huge chair. His body was as majestic as a mountain, giving people an unshakable sense of oppression.

Seeing that it was Ling Tian who came in, his eyes, like copper bells, were stunned, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The originally calm expression on his broad face was instantly broken, with a flash of surprise. His thick white beard trembled slightly, as if telling of the turmoil in his heart.

He originally thought it was Marco who came in. After all, at this time of day, it was usually Marco who came to report to him. He didn't expect it to be Ling Tian.

However, Whitebeard reacted quickly.

His voice, as loud as a bell, suddenly rang out: "Why are you here all of a sudden?" The voice echoed in the room, shaking the walls so much that they seemed to tremble slightly.

Ling Tian heard Whitebeard's question but did not answer immediately.

His gaze first stayed on Whitebeard's majestic face for a moment, then slowly moved down and fell on the needles on Whitebeard's body.

The densely packed needles connected to his huge body looked particularly eye-catching.

The calmness in his eyes was instantly replaced by worry and emotion. It seemed as if his gaze could penetrate all appearances and see every bit of damage inside Whitebeard's body.

He couldn't help but sigh softly: "Newgate, your health is getting worse day by day." His voice was very low, with deep helplessness and regret.

Hearing Ling Tian's words, White Beard laughed out loud without caring. His heroic laughter seemed to be able to shake the roof off: "Gulala, I know my own body well. This little problem is nothing!"

His laughter was full of fearlessness, as if no difficulty in the world could knock him down.

Seeing Whitebeard being so nonchalant, Ling Tian helplessly covered his forehead with his hands, helplessness written all over his face.

He felt helpless and distressed. He was helpless about Whitebeard's stubbornness and unwillingness to admit defeat, and he was distressed that this former overlord of the sea was now suffering from injuries.

He knew Whitebeard's pride, and that he had traveled the seas all his life and never bowed to any difficulties. But at this moment, seeing Whitebeard holding on, his heart was filled with worry.

Silence spread in the room, and time seemed to stand still.

After a moment, Ling Tian seemed to suddenly remember something. His eyes lit up, and a spark of hope instantly ignited in his originally dim gaze.

Then, he quickly reached out and groped around in the system space. His expression was focused and anxious, and beads of sweat even oozed out of his forehead.

Soon, he took out a panacea emitting mysterious light from the system space. The whole body of the medicine was round and the light was flowing, as if it contained endless vitality and power.

This elixir was originally intended for Chopper, but Ling Tian forgot about it in his busy adventure.

He had gone through so many hardships and encountered so many challenges these days that he had put this precious panacea behind him.

At this moment, when he saw Whitebeard's haggard but still resolute face, he felt that this panacea was even more important to Whitebeard.

He couldn't just watch Whitebeard being eroded by injuries and be powerless to do anything.

Ling Tian threw the elixir directly to Whitebeard without hesitation, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Whitebeard, eat this.

This medicine may make you better." His voice was full of concern and expectation, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable determination.

When Whitebeard heard Ling Tian's words, he did not hesitate at all.

His strong and powerful hands quickly stretched out and accurately caught the elixir thrown to him.

He stared at the pill in his hand that was emitting a mysterious light, then raised his head, looked at Ling Tian's trusting eyes, and grinned. That smile was full of boldness and fearlessness. Then, he swallowed the panacea in one gulp without hesitation.

In Whitebeard's heart, he didn't worry that Ling Tian would hurt him at all. They had known each other for a long time and had experienced too many ups and downs together.

From initially fighting side by side in the Rocks Pirates to supporting each other time and again when facing powerful enemies, the friendship between them has gone through countless battles and trials and tribulations and has long been as solid as a rock.

Every time of trusting each other in life and death, every time of drinking and chatting after victory, makes this friendship deeper and more unbreakable.

In Whitebeard's eyes, Ling Tian was a brother he could trust with his back, and a close friend who would never betray him at any time. Therefore, he had no doubts or hesitations about what Ling Tian gave him.

When Whitebeard swallowed the elixir without hesitation, something magical happened. A gentle yet powerful force slowly spread from his body, like a warm spring breeze blowing across the frozen earth.

The shocking wounds on Whitebeard's body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. The edges of the originally hideous wounds gradually closed, and new skin grew like bamboo shoots, quickly covering the damaged areas.

Not only that, his physical functions, which had long been deteriorating due to injuries, also miraculously recovered at this moment.

He could clearly feel his strength returning, like a dried-up stream welcoming a raging torrent.

The originally heavy limbs gradually became light and strong, the tired heart was beating strongly again, and every beat was full of vitality.
