The war ended with Xanxus and Squalo pursuing the remaining Whitebeard Pirates.
Whitebeard Pirates came so domineeringly only to leave so in such a miserable state...
Whitebeard himself lost consciousness. It was unknown whether the 3rd Division Captain Diamond Jozu was even alive or not. 5th Division Captain Vista was seriously injured and dying. 9th Division Captain Blenheim died, and the rest of the Division Captains basically retreated successfully. Half of the elite crews also died in Wano Country, and the allied pirates under Whitebeard also suffered heavy casualties!
The only one who benefited in this war was the 1st Division Captain, Marco. He had reached awakening, and his combat strength naturally improved greatly. Moreover, his powerful Flame of Regeneration should also be able to save the wounded.
"Pops, you finally regain consciousness!"
Marco used his Flame of Regeneration to treat Whitebeard and finally saw Whitebeard open his eyes.
Hearing his voice, the other Division Captains who were still conscious surrounded him. They all seemed dejected. They clenched their fists, and they seemed to be sorry. Their pops was the strongest man in the world. Hadn't they dragged him down, they would've...
"Dad, we... are useless. If we were stronger, we would've won!" Thatch said with tears dripping from his eyes.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Thatch! This defeat was clearly caused because I underestimated the enemy's strength. Moreover, the cause of our defeat is not important. It's just that... we can't avenge our family. Instead, we lost even more. Every one of them is still so young..."
Whitebeard sobbed as he said this. Tears also fell from his eyes. He never cared about the title of the strongest and was not afraid of defeat. However, he did not want his son to die at the enemies' hands. So many of his sons died in this war that he could not help but doubt his decision.
Should he stay away from the Vongola Family when Squard died?
But if he ignored Squard's death, then he would not be Whitebeard!
"Pops, our losses in this war are severe. There will be many people in the New World gunning for our territories. If we can't deal with what will happen next, we may suffer further casualties."
After this war, Marco became a lot more mature. He also cared about his brothers and family very much, but he knew that now was not the time to reminisce about the deceased. "Big Mom will probably attack us soon after the news spread. Our territory is near Vongola Family's territory and Totto Land. If Big Mom makes her move, the first one that will be in danger is the Nuo Yi Island. We must be on guard!"
Nuo Yi Island was an island with Whitebeard's flag. It was rich in sugar cane. It was very good to make sweets.
That was why Marco thought that if Big Mom wanted to attack them, the first she would target would be Nuo Yi Island. First of all, Nuo Yi Island was one of the three closest islands to Totto Land. Second, it was because Big Mom loved sweets, which made this island attractive to her.
"If she has the courage, then let her try!"
Whitebeard said as he squinted following his domineering Color of Supreme King Haki. Although he lost to Vongola Family, he was still the powerful Whitebeard.
"Pops, you still need a good rest. Leave the rest to us."
Seeing his father like this, Marco felt a lot more at ease. "Vista still needs my Flame of Regeneration for treatment. I will treat him first."
After saying this, Marco immediately walked to the room where Vista was.
Three days later, Wano Country.
There was a huge black stone tablet at the dock. There were more than two hundred names carved on the stone tablet. These were all people who died in the previous war. They had been buried under this land forever.
At this moment, Giotto and the others were also dressed in proper clothes. They stood in front of the memorial tablet with a serious expression on their faces, praying to the deceased family members.
In the past few days, Giotto discovered that because of Levi's appearance, the system had a further update.

After seeing his latest panel, Giotto was happy but also confused.
What made him happy was Millefiore was a strong Famiglia. With Six Funeral Wreaths and the Mare Rings, they were all very powerful beings. He just didn't know whether its leader, Byakuran, would be unlocked or he'd get Byakuran's ability for himself.
And what confused him was Demon Spade. The last guardian, Mist Guardian, had been unlocked, but the completion rate for gathering the six guardians was still 83%. What did this mean?
Moreover, this time, the system did not tell him how long it would take for Demon Spade to arrive at the Family's base. In other words, Mist Guardian was unlocked, but he might not necessarily come to Secon Island?
