At this critical moment!
The actions taken by Jinbei have drawn the attention of countless onlookers across the seas!
Even the most formidable figures... are left in astonishment!
It's common knowledge that Jinbei holds the esteemed position of one of the Seven Warlords under the jurisdiction of the World Government!
He leads the Sun Pirates, a group hailing from Fishman Island!
Given the ongoing power struggle within the seas, it's imperative for Fish-Man Island to be safeguarded by individuals of Yonko-level prowess!
Owing to his close ties with Whitebeard, Jinbei naturally falls under the protection of the Whitebeard Pirates!
This strategic alliance serves the purpose of warding off any external forces attempting to encroach upon Fishman Island.
By doing so, it mitigates the potential conflicts that could plunge Fish-Man Island into war. However, as this situation unfolds, skepticism arises.
Isn't Jinbei and Fishman Island... under the guardianship of the Whitebeard Pirates?
Why has he suddenly surfaced in Big Mom's Whole Cake Island?
Considering his explicit declaration of withdrawing from the Big Mom Pirates' protection, it implies a significant shift.
Now, he stands as part of the Big Mom Pirates!
The entire Big Mom Pirates extend their protection to Fish-Man Island. What could be the explanation?
Could it be that, in the changing landscape of the future, the Whitebeard Pirates will no longer ensure the safety of Fishman Island?
Or perhaps there's a dispute between Fishman Island and the Whitebeard Pirates that led to their separation?
This perplexing scenario fuels speculation about Jinbei and Fishman Island seeking the protection of the new Four Emperors, sparking varied opinions among countless viewers and pirates.
Yet, those intimately acquainted with Whitebeard understand that such a situation would never arise!
The fishmen harbor a deep-seated resentment toward humans!
But within their hearts, there exists an unwavering admiration for a particular human hero!
That hero is none other than Whitebeard!
From Jinbei to every fishman, there exists a profound respect for Whitebeard.
Whitebeard, as one of the Four Emperors, not only shields them but also refrains from any exploitation for personal gain.
His actions are entirely altruistic!
Whitebeard has, through his charisma, earned the reverence of all fishmen, ensuring that the people of Fish-Man Island will forever remain steadfast in their loyalty to him!
But now, in the future, they find themselves under the banner of the Big Mom Pirates. There is only one explanation!
Even Whitebeard lacks the strength to protect them!
The only plausible explanation is...
"Whitebeard is dead!?"
When this notion crossed the minds of many influential figures, their expressions changed abruptly!
Individuals such as Shanks, Kaido, Big Mom, Garp, Sengoku, and Dragon found it utterly unbelievable.
Despite Whitebeard's advanced age and frailty, suffering from serious ailments, has he truly passed away in just a few years?
Consider this – if one of the four emperors were to perish, it would undoubtedly send shockwaves through the entire maritime world!
And Whitebeard, known as the strongest man globally, only amplifies the impact!
The Whitebeard Pirates' influence stretches even wider, surpassing the other three Yonko pirate groups!
Should Whitebeard fall, the entire Whitebeard Pirates would inevitably disband. Although it's challenging to accept, this explanation stands as the most rational at present.
Otherwise, how could Jinbei and Fishman Island, who hold Whitebeard in high regard, end up under Big Mom's control in the future? Shanks, Kaido, Sengoku, and others couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
Despite Whitebeard being their adversary, a target to capture, it must be acknowledged that, as a pirate, Whitebeard contributes to maintaining peace in the seas in a unique way.
Without him, the maritime crisis is bound to escalate suddenly!
However, figures like Kaido and Big Mom couldn't help but feel a twinge of joy!
Whitebeard has always been their most significant obstacle!
If Whitebeard were to fall, it would yield numerous benefits for their pirate groups!
Not only could they claim numerous territories, but they would also eliminate a formidable competitor!
The scene shifts to the Whitebeard Pirates at this moment!
Simultaneously, many Whitebeard Pirates' captains and crew members find themselves in a state of panic.
Because they, too, entertained the possibility!
In the future, Whitebeard might... be no more!
No one could fathom it, and many outright refused to accept this reality!
Including Ace, everyone's expressions underwent a drastic change. Only the elderly man seated in the center narrowed his eyes slightly and gazed at the sky without uttering a word. His thoughts remained inscrutable.
It wasn't until much later that he spoke slowly,
"Why the worry?"
"I'm not dead yet!"
"What's more, now I owe it to Luffy."
"In the first-place quiz, I won a reward and cured all my diseases!"
"Now that my strength and physical condition have reached their peak, it is almost impossible for me to die!"
"This is just a glimpse of the future; I am different now…"
After Whitebeard uttered these words, it was as if he injected everyone with a surge of determination. Many crew members on the ship also regained their composure!
Yes, now that father's physical condition and strength have returned to their peak, it won't be easy for him to meet his end!
Even if the live broadcast hints that Whitebeard is likely to perish in the future, it's merely a glimpse of what may come!
It can still be changed!
Although the anxiety in everyone's hearts subsided a bit—be it Ace, Marco, Jozi, or Bista and others.
They all silently pledged to themselves that they and others would undoubtedly protect their father and prevent his demise!
Regardless of the circumstances, whether facing enemies or succumbing to illness, it shall never be allowed!
Meanwhile, Whitebeard silently gazed at the sky, sensing premonitions in his heart.
In the future, not only Ace will die, but he may also meet his end...
Perhaps there's a certain connection between his death and Ace's demise!
Could it be... is it also because of Teach?
Although he didn't understand why, he had such a premonition in his heart!
Now that he knew all this and his strength had returned to its peak!
If he doesn't allow these events to unfold, Ace will never die!
And he will steadfastly protect the Whitebeard Pirates!
[At this moment…]
[The screen continued to play, but the conversation between Jinbei and Big Mom did not proceed.]
[Instead, the scene shifted, and we returned to Sanji.]
[Sanji, at this moment, had been taken back to the Vinsmoke family by his sister Reiju.]
[However, returning to this family reignited the memories of his painful childhood for Sanji!]
[So, whether it was for his so-called brothers or his father,]
[He harbored no positive feelings!]
[His face plainly expressed his desire to sever ties with the Vinsmoke family.]
[This also infuriated Judge, the head of the Vinsmoke family and Sanji's father!]
[He candidly stated that Sanji's destiny was to sacrifice for the family and marry into the Big Mom Pirates, bringing immense benefits to the family!]
[But, of course, Sanji refused!]
[He held no affection for his family, let alone sacrificing himself for the so-called family!]
[His dream was to sail the seas with the Straw Hat Pirates, seeking the ocean of dreams!]
[However, this idea was mercilessly mocked by his father!]
[He even unabashedly declared that as a prince, working as a cook for a pirate group was highly embarrassing!]
[The two exchanged heated words!]
[In the end, a fierce altercation ensued]
