Chapter 1216
Almost all newspapers, as if controlled by some mysterious force, launched a fierce attack on the Whitebeard Pirates without mercy.
They used sharp and harsh words to baselessly criticize this pirate team that once frightened countless people.
Not only did they raise serious doubts about the overall strength of the Whitebeard Pirates, but even their leader, Edward Newgate, who was known as the strongest man in the world after Charlotte, was not spared.
For a time, the overwhelming doubts swept in like surging waves, dragging the Whitebeard Pirates into a huge whirlpool of public opinion.
Facing this fierce wave, a heavy and depressing atmosphere permeated the Whitebeard Pirates' headquarters, the Moby Dick.
Whitebeard sat there quietly, holding a newspaper that had just been delivered tightly in his hand.
His weathered face was now covered with gloom, like the sky before a storm.
Just a quick glance at the provocative and slanderous words on the newspaper, and Whitebeard's anger was already burning.
He waved his hand, and a powerful force burst out instantly, and the poor newspaper was instantly shattered into countless pieces, falling down like snowflakes.
At this moment, Joz on the side could no longer suppress his anger.
He widened his eyes, staring at the newspaper that had turned into fragments, and gnashed his teeth and said, "Damn it! A mere newcomer who doesn't know the height of the world actually defeated Vista with such a little luck, and now he dares to be so arrogant and arrogant! I really can't stand it anymore. Since he wants to challenge our entire Whitebeard Pirates shamelessly, let me, the captain of the third team, go and meet him in person! See how much he weighs!"
After saying that, Joz stood up suddenly, exuding a frightening aura all over his body.
"That's right, let this guy named Ace see how powerful our Whitebeard Pirates are!"
"He relied on fire to win Captain Vista by chance. Captain Joz personally came out. He is the user of the Diamond Fruit. I want to see what else Ace's fire can do!"
"That's right, a lucky guy who relies on the natural Flame-Flame Fruit. Captain Joz will definitely be foolproof!"
The Whitebeard Pirates were indignant and stood up for Captain Vista.
"Dad, I'm going to teach this kid a lesson. I'll make him pay back tenfold for the loss of face by the Whitebeard Pirates!"
After Joz finished speaking, he turned around and walked off the boat, taking his team members on the boat to look for the traces of the Spade Pirates.
"Dad, do you want me to personally capture the Fire Fist!"
Marco walked up to his father and asked in a low voice while looking at his colorless face.
"No, let that kid walk to daddy step by step, daddy will personally subdue him and let him join the big family of Whitebeard Pirates!"
Whitebeard shook his head.
"Dad, do you like that kid?"
Marco asked curiously.
"Well, based on the strength that this kid has shown so far, the natural type·Flame-Flame Fruit, the Conqueror Haki, the Observation Haki, and the strong physique, daddy is very optimistic about this kid!"
Whitebeard nodded.
Marco breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes while he lowered his head slightly.
But the jealous look soon disappeared, and then he looked at Whitebeard with admiration.
"Dad, can he really stand in front of us? Joz's strength is not weak, the ability of diamondization, and the Flame-Flame Fruit can hardly hurt him."
Marco said worriedly.
He was afraid that Ace would run away directly after being defeated, which would be a loss!
Whitebeard was silent when he heard this.
After a long time!
"If this guy can't even beat Jozu, then let's change him!"
Whitebeard said with a worried look.
The current situation is very different from the original.
Whitebeard is now in urgent need of a strong successor.
Inherit his name of Whitebeard and continue to protect his family.
Finding a successor is Whitebeard's biggest goal.
And Ace is the younger generation he is most optimistic about after entering the paradise.
But judging from his various performances after going to sea.
The other party is very rebellious and impulsive.
Whitebeard decided to polish Ace's temper first.
Spade Pirates!
Not long after the thrilling battle with Vista, Ace's body seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and he slowly fell to the ground and fell into a deep coma.
Time passed quietly, and a whole day passed. Ace still closed his eyes, as quiet as a sleeping lion.
No one disturbed, everyone was safeQuietly, waiting for the captain to wake up.
Finally, in the early morning of the next day, a ray of warm sunlight shone through the window onto Ace's face.
As if summoned by this ray of sunlight, Ace's eyelids trembled slightly, and then slowly opened his eyes.
He blinked in confusion at first, then sat up suddenly, and felt an indescribable power instantly surged through his body.
Ace looked down at his body, and most of his injuries had healed.
But soon, the hunger in his stomach forced him to cry out.
"I'm so hungry!"
Ace fell softly on the bed again.
"Captain!"
The seaman guarding outside the door immediately opened the door and rushed in after hearing the movement in the room.
"Captain, how are you!"
The crew looked at Ace, who seemed to be squeezed dry, with extremely thin cheeks and sunken eye sockets.
The two crew members were shocked!
"Hurry, bring the barbecue up, I want to eat!"
Ace pointed at the crew tremblingly and shouted.
"Oh! OK! I understand!"
The crew immediately ran to the kitchen in panic.
Soon, plates of barbecue were brought up.
Ace swallowed in big mouthfuls.
His stomach was like a bottomless pit.
After eating for an hour, Ace finally stopped.
His originally thin face instantly returned to its original state, and his knife-like face looked extremely tough under the sunlight.
Ace raised his arm and exerted a little force.
Feeling the explosive power contained in each muscle, his heart was full of surprise and excitement.
He subconsciously clenched his fist, and suddenly found that a layer of mysterious black substance was faintly emerging on his fist.
This layer of black substance covered his fist like a layer of gauze. Although the color was not strong, it exuded a palpitating breath.
"Is this Armament Haki?"
Ace's eyes widened, staring at the light black energy on his fist in disbelief.
After entering the paradise, almost every master he met had Armament Haki, but he never thought that one day he would be able to master it.
At this moment, witnessing this power being born in his hands, Ace's heart was filled with endless curiosity.
