Chapter 233 Father and Son
"Jozy!"
Just as Margao was shocked by the sudden change at Whitebeard's side, Jozi's arm was cut off again in the blink of an eye, and the movements of his hand were uncontrollably slow for a moment.
"Is this the Whitebeard Pirates? It's not worthy of its name!"
Nailu sighed softly, and a slender thunder spear appeared in his hand. In a flash, he appeared in front of Margao and suddenly pierced his abdomen.
"It's just that the captain was injured, which made you all confused. Are you too comfortable under the protection of Whitebeard?"
Margao's face turned pale, and he was about to use the fruit's power to heal his injuries.
Dala——
Electric current was continuously released from the Thunder Spear, causing Margao's body to stiffen for a moment from time to time. Along with the electric current, there was also a sense of domineering running through his body.
Nailu opened his palm, and another thunder spear appeared in his palm.
call out--!
Red light flashed in his eyes, and Nailu's body turned into lightning and dissipated. A dark bullet stuck to Margao's body and passed through the place where Nailu was standing.
Neru looked at the Moby Dick. A man in a pink kimono stood at the bow of the ship, holding two flintlock guns in his hands. The muzzle of one of the guns was still smoking.
Obviously, the bullet just now was fired by the other party.
boom! ! !
Losing the possibility of pursuing victory, Nailu simply detonated the thunder gun inserted into Margao's body. A huge thunder and lightning beam penetrated the sky and the earth, and the terrifying current and impact were released, submerging Margao's body.
When the thunder gun on Margao's side detonated, the lightning flashed on Neru's arm, and the thunder gun in his hand suddenly swung out, shooting directly at Izo who had just fired.
"Immortal Thistle!!"
The green figure flew out of the thunder pillar, and the burning green flames on his body turned into a circular shield, blocking the front of the thunder spear.
A violent roar sounded again, and strong air currents spread out, blowing everything around them.
···
Distant on the sea.
"Uh-huh-huh-huh, that's amazing! This guy Ba Fist is stronger than the last time we met. The old guy with white beard was also injured by him!"
A huge green dragon was flying in the clouds. Kaido watched the fierce battle between Rhodes and Whitebeard, and his own blood boiled with excitement.
He also wants to have such a battle!
Below Qinglong, a Beast Pirates ship was heaving in the waves. Jhin stood on the bow, listening to the voice of Brother Kaido in his mouth, looking at the earth-shattering battle in the distance, and couldn't help but hold his weapon.
He seems to want to fight too!
In the other direction, the red-haired pirates' ship is coming.
Swish——
A huge red-black slash cut through the sky, tearing the clouds apart in an instant, and the sun shone through the cracks.
The red-haired man couldn't help but hold the "Griffin" around his waist. A trace of seriousness flashed across his originally cheerful face, and he turned slightly sideways to look at his friend standing beside him.
"How about it?"
"Very strong!"
It was a man with eyes like an eagle.
After the red hair cast his gaze, Hawkeye gave an affirmative answer and subconsciously reached out to hold the black knife [Ye] behind his back.
As the world's greatest swordsman, just feeling the sword energy made him excited.
The owner of this slash is qualified to fight him.
"I didn't expect that the man named [Ba Fist] would actually master such amazing swordsmanship!"
Hawkeye touched his weapon, then lowered his arm.
He and Rhodes are both from the Qiwukai, but they haven't had a chance to fight yet.
If he had known that this Shichibukai's swordsmanship was so amazing, he would have been unable to help himself from seeking a spar with him.
"Hahaha, his name when he first went to sea was [Crazy Sword]."
Shanks couldn't help but laugh when he remembered Rhodes' title since he went to sea, as well as the short stories about the opponent's name he got from other places, and the original tension in his heart also dissipated a little.
This level of power is enough to talk to the Four Emperors on an equal footing.
Having the same level of power is the basis for negotiation.
In other words, a Ba Fist that has mastered this kind of power should not be able to easily engage in an all-out war with the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Yeah!"
Hawkeye looked at the island getting closer and closer, and an inexplicable expectation arose in his heart.
The slash I saw just now was very strong!
However, for some reason, Hawkeye could always feel a sense of disharmony from that slash.
It's like forcibly imitating someone else's swordsmanship. Although it has strength and power, it doesn't have that meaning.
However, using swordsmanship to this extent cannot be achieved by imitation.
Ba Fist Rhodes is truly a curious man.

Click! Click! Click!
In a hidden corner on Urukum Island.
Martha, who used the fruit's ability to blend into the environment, held the phone bug and kept taking pictures. While taking pictures, she sent each picture to Morgans, who was thousands of miles away.
"Whitebeard has been chopped off! This is really big news!"
Martha suppressed her inner excitement and stared at the battle situation over there.
As early as at Tiger Shark Island, she had determined that Rhodes would contribute countless big news in the future, and facts proved that her vision was right.
Whether it was the conflict between Tiger Shark Island and Lieutenant General Ghost Spider, or later Zefa, Tezoro, Aokiji, or even Katakuri and Doflamingo.
Every move of Tyrant Rod will bring great shock to the world.
And relying on the big news brought by Tyrant Rod again and again, Martha also made a lot of money.
···
On the other side, a warship rose and fell in the waves.
"How terrible!"
A strange voice sounded on the warship.
Kizaru, wearing a yellow striped suit, looked at the battle on the island and uttered a meaningless exclamation.
"The Seven Warlords of the Sea can fight against the Four Emperors head-on, and even the subordinates can fight with the cadres of the Whitebeard Pirates."
In just over a year, Tyrant Rod has the power to fight against the Four Emperors head-on. Not only that, Neru and Trafalgar Law under his command are also at ease when facing the captains of Whitebeard's men, and can even have a slight advantage.
The power displayed by the Rod Pirates has far exceeded the power that the Seven Warlords of the Sea should have.
"Also, the Fire Fist over there is Mr. Garp's grandson, right? If I remember correctly, he should also be a member of the Seven Warlords."
Kizaru glanced at Garp, who was eating senbei on the deck.
"But am I blurry? Why do I think he has a tattoo of the Whitebeard Pirates?"
Crack!
The senbei in Garp's mouth made a "crackling" sound, as if he was venting something.
That brat!!
Garp also saw the tattoo on Ace.
Obviously, he wanted him to be an excellent marine. It would have been fine if he had become a pirate, but after becoming a Seven Warlords, he actually gave up his status as a Seven Warlords and joined the Whitebeard Pirates, and he also faced off against Tyrant Rod again.
Garp actually felt a little worried.
Tyrant Rod knew Ace's identity as the "Son of the Pirate King". If this news was exposed, both the Navy and the World Government would probably capture Ace at all costs.
Even if Ace gave up his status as a Shichibukai and joined the Whitebeard Pirates, it was worth the World Government's fuss.
Garp could almost imagine Sengoku's reaction after hearing the news.
Why are you so disobedient? !
Garp's hands moved faster, and he kept stuffing senbei into his mouth.
No, I must go back and teach Luffy a lesson. Don't be like Ace!
···
"Gulala!"
Whitebeard didn't care about the scars on his face. He knocked the handle of "Kuromoku-kiri" with his toes. The huge naginata flipped in his hand, and a translucent light shield appeared on the blade of the naginata, slashing towards Rod fiercely.
Rod didn't dodge, but held the other knife inserted in his waist with his backhand-the elephant knife.
As soon as the knife was in his hand, a powerful force surged in Rod's body. Rod pulled it out suddenly and held it back to meet Whitebeard's slash.
Boom!!!
The terrifying vibration force hit Rhodes' body again. Under the power of the "Elephant Fruit", Rhodes' physical fitness improved a lot, and he obviously felt a lot more relaxed.
Not only that, under the ability to fully master it, Rhodes' injuries were recovering at an extremely fast speed.
"Whitebeard, you are old!"
Blocking Whitebeard's attack, Rhodes had a wild smile on his face, and the autumn water in his other hand slashed again, and the red and black crescent-shaped slash attacked Whitebeard again.
"You are a remnant of the old era, and there is no place for you in the new era!"
Whitebeard shouted, and the power surged from his body. The weapon in his hand pressed down fiercely, and he looked particularly ferocious against the background of blood on his face.
"You little brat, do you want my position too!"
"I am Whitebeard!"
Under the fierce collision, the ground under the feet of the two people collapsed inch by inch, and the mountain next to them was also covered with cracks under the strong vibration force, as if it would be annihilated at any time.
Rhodes held a weapon in each hand and waved them wildly, using all kinds of sword skills. His moves were sometimes frantic and sometimes treacherous, and he could always attack Whitebeard from all kinds of strange angles.
Whitebeard, on the other hand, stabilized his position, holding a huge naginata in his hand to prevent Rhodes' attack from leaking out. From time to time, he swung his fist fiercely, and the terrifying shock force suddenly hit Rhodes hard.
But...
The more Whitebeard fought, the more suspicious he became.
Why, in such a fierce battle, the little brat, Tyrant Fist Rhodes, not only did not look tired at all, but seemed to be getting stronger as the battle progressed!
Looking at himself, as the battle progressed, Whitebeard clearly felt tired.
His body, which was covered with scars due to lack of restraint when he was young, was no longer able to do so as he got older. Whitebeard could even hear his heavy breathing.
Dang!!!
The weapons of the two collided again, making a violent roar.
"A riot of colours, a giant tree!"
A voice suddenly sounded, and then a platform built by several giant arms appeared on the battlefield, and then a translucent door opened on the platform, and a series of figures walked out from behind the door.
"These people are imprisoned underground, driven like livestock, repeating the same things day after day, without a break."
With the help of several Den Den Mushi amplification, a huge voice rang out across the entire battlefield.
The people who were fighting slowly stopped and looked at the group of people standing on the platform.
They were a group of people in ragged clothes and numb expressions. Even if they were brought to the platform and freed from boring labor, they still had a dead expression.
That was the expression of people who were full of despair in life. They had all seen it before.
In the Sabaody Archipelago, under the seat of the Celestial Dragons.
This look full of despair was the look of the Celestial Dragons' slaves.
However, this group of people appeared here now.
"The person who did this was [Iron Arm] Mako."
Robin's figure appeared in front of these people and looked at the members of the Whitebeard Pirates.
"This person used the giant vortex spider Squard and the name of Whitebeard to hide his conspiracy and darkness under the flag of Whitebeard.
You, the Whitebeard Pirates, are you going to continue to fight us for such a person?"
As Robin's words fell, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates looked at each other.
After Liluka left, many people in the Whitebeard Pirates had joined the battle.
For them, this was an action to save their families.
However, now someone told them that their families were deceived. Not only that, the other party even used the reputation of the Whitebeard Pirates to enslave others.
Although they are pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates also have their own morality and bottom line.
Looking at those ragged people with numb eyes, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates really couldn't continue to hold their weapons and fight.
Especially when someone saw the familiar pirate captain among those ragged people.
The morale of the Whitebeard Pirates fell instantly.
In contrast, the morale of the members of the security company brought by Rhodes was high.
Among these members, although some were recruited by former pirates or evil people in the gray area, more were recruited from countries controlled by security companies.
Most of these people do not want to become pirates, and their basic colors are kind.
When they found out that what they were doing was to save the enslaved people, their hearts quietly changed, and they recognized the symbol on their backs a little more.
"Gulla Lala!!"
Whitebeard's loud laughter suddenly sounded, attracting the attention of the depressed Whitebeard Pirates.
"What a stupid son, you were deceived."
"But even if you are a stupid son, even if you were deceived, you are still my son!"
Whitebeard looked over the crowd and saw Squad surrounded by several dolls.
At this time, Squad, who had regained consciousness, looked at Whitebeard with tears on his face and shame.
"Dad!!"
"Although we are pirates, we cannot sit idly by when it comes to enslaving others and trampling on dignity!"
Whitebeard suddenly exerted force and stabbed the Kusukumoki in his hand into the ground.
"Because my foolish son was deceived, so many people were driven as slaves. This is our fault, and this cannot be denied."
"But, as a father, I will bear the responsibility for the mistakes made by my son!"
"Everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates, stop fighting!"
Whitebeard's voice echoed on the battlefield.
"This is my fight!"
