Chapter's Events:
—————————
"Here they come!!!"
"All hands, to your battle stations!!!"
…
"They appeared out of nowhere! Where did they come from!?"
Seeing the massive fleet of pirate ships, Sengoku was astonished by their ability to appear suddenly without any prior knowledge.
"It's a huge fleet of pirate ships!!!"
"Where's Whitebeard!? Find him!!!"
Sengoku began to worry as he didn't see Whitebeard's ship anywhere among the fleet, which included famous pirates under Whitebeard's flag.
"The Mad Knight Doma, Thunder Lord Makugai, The Dicalban Brothers… The Whirpool Spider Squardo…!!"
"What a force…!! They're all infamous captains from the New World!!"
"There are 43 ships in total, but Whitebeard and his lieutenants are nowhere to be seen!!"
"But make no mistake, they're all allied with Whitebeard!!!"
…
"Let's do this…!!" declared the pirate known as Thunder Lord Makugai.
"Do you see, Ace?"
"We're here, Ace!"
It seemed some of these leaders loyal to Whitebeard had good relations with Ace.
…
"You guys too…!!!"
Seeing this made Ace feel sorrow deep within him; he didn't want to drag any of these comrades into this war.
"Do we open fire!!?" asked the soldier to the fleet admiral who shouted his orders:
"No!! Whitebeard must be somewhere close!!! He must have some plan in mind!!! Keep your eyes on the sea!!!"
…
"Fufufufu!! Now this is interesting…!!!"
Among the present Shichibukai, Doflamingo began to laugh oddly after seeing the fleet of pirate ships consisting of 43 ships.
"I'm getting chills!!! Come on out, Whitebeard!!!"
•———•———•———•———•———•
At this moment in the art store in Ohara, Mihawk, Rosinante, and Enel looked strangely at Doffy.
"What?" Doffy said confusedly... He thought there was something on his face.
"Your counterpart is intriguing," Mihawk remarked unusually.
"Oh? So that's it, huh? Fufufufu... I also find him intriguing," Doffy relaxed after understanding why he was being looked at this way and laughed in return.
"It means your adult self looks exactly like you..." Enel said, stifling his laughter.
"Isn't that good?" Doffy wondered, "He's participating in an amazing war, so why not get excited?" he added.
"Man, a lot of lives will be lost in this war, what's enjoyable about it?" Rosinante intervened, expressing his opinion. It was clear that the brothers' personalities were completely different.
"Should my counterpart be blamed if exciting people will die in this war just because he feels thrilled? Fufu~ And why should he be restrained?" Doffy stuck to his position because he saw no fault in his counterpart's actions.
"Hohoho... No one will blame you for enjoying the war. Of course, you're nothing but a big chess piece, but your madness shows in every move... It's clear you're a villainous character in the manga." This time it was Issho who spoke.
"Hehe~ Everyone knows my counterpart has been a villainous character since his involvement in the slave auction issue, so it doesn't matter... I like the kind of character he is and look forward to seeing more."
Hearing that, the listeners shook their heads in disappointment and returned to immersing themselves in the manga events.
"Fufu... truly interesting..."
Seeing the way Whitebeard appeared on stage made Doffy's body shiver.
…
"New World pirates don't resemble humans..."
"Weird... Their appearances are ugly, but they seem to have kind hearts since they came to help Ace."
"When I read manga like Bleach and Solo Leveling and watched anime like HXH, AOT, and Naruto, and saw the natural human form, I became sure that humans in our world are completely unnatural..."
"I have the same impression as you... At first, it was just a faint feeling, but over time, I've noticed this difference between the shapes of humans in our world and other worlds significantly."
"But, my friends, we humans in the Four Blues are completely natural, even though we're somewhat taller compared to humans in the world of Naruto, for example. But we don't have this kind of major difference compared to humans in the Grand Line who have different physiques."
"Let's leave that for now. How the hell did the Whitebeard ships appear from under the sea!?"
"Is this the coating that Luffy and his friends were searching for Rayleigh for...? They wrapped their ships in the bubble coating from the Sabaody Archipelago... What brilliance!"
At this moment, readers in Ohara were shocked by the way the Whitebeard Pirates appeared amidst Marineford.
…
New World, Sphinx Island:
Hundreds of people gathered in the art store. Who would have imagined that these villagers were extremely poor just one year ago, living solely on the aid provided by Whitebeard?
But now, since Rob opened an art store for them here, many people have been flocking here. Despite the disdain for trade, life thrived, and they no longer needed Whitebeard's aid.
At this moment, seeing the majestic appearance of Whitebeard in the manga and his official entry into the war, dozens of Sphinx residents cheered enthusiastically.
Whitebeard smiled after seeing the crazy reaction from his people.
Before that, Whitebeard was thinking. "The Mad Knight Doma, Thunder Lord Makugai, The Dicalban Brothers, The Whirpool Spider Squardo, and 43 others, I think among them is Little Oars Jr... Isn't that right?"
"Gurarara! I have many sons, and I will have many more in the future."
"My sons, if someone comes looking for me to become my son, and you make sure he participated in the Marineford war in the manga, don't stop him, because he will be my son just like you."
Hearing that from their father, Marco and the others shook their heads with helpless smiles.
"Fufufu~" as Stussy let out a muffled laugh, it seems she will become a mother to hundreds of pirates in the future.
…
•———•———•———•———•———•
"There's a shadow in the bay!!!"
"Could it be…!!?"
"I see all of their ships…"
"Had the coating applied to let them travel on the ocean floor…!!!"
Meanwhile, four ships emerged from beneath the sea amidst Marineford Bay in a shocking scene.
"Uwaaahhh!!!"
"It's Moby Dick!!!"
"Three ships from the Whitebeard Pirates are there too!!!"
"They've entered the bay!!! The 14 squad leaders are all there!!!" exclaimed a stunned Marine soldier.
"Whitebeard…"
Sengoku's eyes darkened.
…
"Gurarara…"
On Moby Dick, laughter could be heard as a figure ascended the stairs.
"How many years has it been, Sengoku?"
A towering figure stood atop Moby Dick, wielding a Naginata twice his size.
"My beloved son had better be unharmed…!!!" said Whitebeard, appearing once again without any medical equipment surrounding him.
"Gurarara…!!! You wait right there… Ace!!!" he said, smiling.
"Old man!!!" exclaimed Ace.
•———•———•———•———•———•
"I've become very old..."
The young Whitebeard felt a great sense of conflict upon witnessing this scene.
"If only I were as I am now, the war would have ended at this very moment."
The current Whitebeard was at the peak of his powers, a man who fought the Pirate King, and no one could win in their battle... He fought the strongest man in the world, Rob, and emerged unscathed.
Unlike the old man, filled with wounds and plagued by diseases, he was very strong... Rescuing a son or a group of sons from execution would not be difficult, even if the number of Marines doubled in this war.
"My dear, even as an old man, I trust that you will crush them like insects and save Ace! Just watch..."
Stussy was completely confident.
"I'm excited! I haven't felt like this in a long time... Finally, it's time to see Whitebeard Pirates in action!"
Marco was unusually excited.
