Whitebeard's figure just appeared in front of Marco.
Even though the night was very dark tonight, with the help of the lights on the Moby Dick, one could still clearly see that familiar rugged face.
Marco was completely stunned.
The word "Pops" that slipped out of his mouth further proved the huge shock he felt in his heart.
"Pops?!"
Noticing this strange pineapple head's address to Pops, Naruto and others were also stunned.
And they also noticed that Pops seemed to call this pineapple head a foolish son.
For a moment, Naruto was a bit confused.
On the other hand, Sasuke's eyes gradually widened: "This guy... could he is Pops's in this world?"
Sasuke's words left Naruto speechless.
Naruto was dumbfounded.
He looked at Marco: "Ah? This pineapple-headed uncle is also Pops' son?!"
Kakashi's eyes, filled with apprehension, gradually turned into a look of surprise, he murmured: "Is it the Whitebeard Pirates of this world?"
Kisame's eyelids twitched, and the Samehada he was carrying on his shoulder was also put down.
Because he realized... it seemed that the two sides couldn't fight.
After all, this man's identity was a bit special, and the other party was most likely also a member of the Whitebeard Pirates.
But they were the new Whitebeard Pirates, and this pineapple head in front of them should belong to the old Whitebeard Pirates.
Of course, whether it's new or old, they're all Whitebeard Pirates, they're all family.
Pops is Whitebeard!
One after another, their gazes all fell on Marco.
This also allowed Marco, who was in a state of stupor, to gradually wake up.
"It really looks so much like..."
Marco tried to take a few steps forward, and the people around him didn't stop him.
He and Whitebeard were getting closer, and there were only a few meters left between them.
Marco looked up, and Whitebeard was also looking down at him.
Marco couldn't describe in words what his mood was like right now.
He was a bit at a loss for words.
Shock?
Excitement?
Doubt?
Curiosity?
Worry?
Happiness?
It seemed like all kinds of emotions were mixed in.
"Gurararararara, foolish son, could it be that you don't recognize your Pops?" Whitebeard glanced at Marco with a vacant look and teased.
Marco hurriedly shook his head: "How could I possibly forget your face, Pops? It's just..."
Marco hesitated: "It's just... the Summit War just ended a while ago, how could you, Pops..."
Although he didn't say the rest of the words, Whitebeard understood what he meant.
It seems that Marco, this foolish son, doesn't believe that he is the real Whitebeard!
Also...
Although he had been in the Ninja World for more than two years.
But in this sea, it seemed that not even half a month had passed.
In the eyes of Marco, this foolish son, he died in the Summit War half a month ago, and suddenly resurrected in the New World half a month later, it indeed made him a bit incredulous, didn't it?
Whitebeard didn't care about this detail, he laughed heartily with a hint of drunkenness: "Foolish son, do you need me to tell some embarrassing stories from your childhood to prove that I am really your Pops?!"
"Huh?" Before Marco could react.
Whitebeard, under the influence of alcohol, said nonchalantly: "I still remember you, little brat, were you twelve or thirteen? The first time you had a wet dream in your life, it scared you to death!"
"You even ran over crying and asked me what was going on, Gurararararara! I remember it was this opportunity that made you, this fool, finally choose to study medicine, right?"
Marco: "!!!"
Marco's face, full of complex expressions, suddenly turned red.
Who would have thought that Pops would actually bring this up!
And to say it in front of so many people...
Pops, you're really messing around!
Marco couldn't imagine, if this spread all over the sea, how he would get by in the sea.
Wait!
If he knows about this...
Could it be...
Is he really Pops?
Is he really Edward Newgate?
Is he really Whitebeard?
After this idea popped into Marco's mind, he felt that his dark history was not important.
He widened his eyes, his voice trembling a bit, and began to ask Whitebeard: "Pops... I, the thing that happened when I was seventeen, do you... do you still remember me?!"
"Your incident when you were seventeen?"
Whitebeard raised an eyebrow, suddenly memories flooded his mind, he grinned and said: "Are you talking about the time you pursued a girl and ended up being chased by the girl's father with a knife? Or the time when the adult magazines hidden under your bed were discovered by Vista?
"Marco: "!!!"
Two more unspeakable dark histories were directly brought up by Whitebeard.
Tears welled up in Marco's eyes.
With tears filling his eyes, Pops' figure became somewhat blurry.
Marco knew that as the captain of the first division of the Whitebeard Pirates, he should not show such a crying and whining appearance.
But he just couldn't help it!
Tears had already slid down his face, Marco's another shout, filled with endless emotions: "Pops!!!"
This shout, no longer has any confusion, no longer has any doubts, no longer has any curiosity, hope.
Marco is one hundred percent sure that the man in front of him is his Pops!
He is the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates! He is Edward Newgate!
He felt endless shame for his previous doubts.
He actually doubted whether the other party was really Pops!
Marco, what are you doing, Marco!
"I... I didn't expect..."
Marco wiped his tears hard, but he couldn't wipe them clean: "I didn't expect Pops, you... you actually came back to life... Yesterday we found that your body was gone, we thought, someone had stolen your body."
"And then... we saw Your figure in the live broadcast on the Den Den Mushi, and found that you were fighting with Big Mom in the Whole Cake Island. Pops, this... what's going on?"
Whitebeard sighed and laughed: "Gurararararara, that's a long story!"
After saying that, Whitebeard looked out at the dark sea in front of him.
Others couldn't see anything in the distance, but Whitebeard's Observation Haki could clearly sense that there was a very large fleet there.
The appearance of Marco here proved that a fleet should be the large fleet of the Whitebeard Pirates!
Whitebeard's eyes were also a bit moist.
Finally... finally going to meet these stupid sons.
"Stupid son, what are you still dazed about?"
Whitebeard shouted at Marco: "The others don't know that I am still alive! Hurry up and call them over!"
Marco suddenly woke up from his dream.
Yes!
The others don't know yet!
Marco immediately transformed into a phoenix and soared into the sky under everyone's gaze. With a flap of his wings, he shot into the sky and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
"Eh?"
Naruto looked up at the empty sky, quite amazed, "He can actually turn into a bird, is he also a Jinchuriki? Or... is this a Devil Fruit ability?"
"Most likely it's a Devil Fruit ability." Sasuke took a deep breath, calming his complex thoughts, he said, "I thought we had encountered a strong enemy just now, but... it turns out to be someone from the Whitebeard Pirates."
"Yeah!" Naruto laughed, "He scared me so much, he's so powerful!"
"Pops, what's his name?" Then, Naruto curiously asked Whitebeard.
Whitebeard grinned, saying something shocking, "Gurararararara! His name is Marco, he's the first son I took in, and also the first division captain of the old Whitebeard Pirates!"
Everyone: "!!!"
"No wonder he was so shocked when Naruto introduced himself as the first division captain of the Whitebeard Pirates." Sasuke suddenly realized, "So he is also a first division captain."
Naruto was shocked, "So that pineapple-headed uncle is the first son Pops took in? His name is Marco?"
Kakashi was surprised, "So that's how it is, no wonder I could smell a very dangerous aura from him..."
Kisame tutted, "Marco... haha, interesting."
Now, all the members of the new Whitebeard Pirates are gathered here.
Because, the commotion here attracted them all.
And everything that just happened was also seen by them.
Everyone is looking forward to the meeting of the two Whitebeard Pirate Crews, so they are all gathered together to welcome Marco and others.
After a while...
A pirate ship docked next to the Moby Dick.
Then...
One after another, the pirates jumped from that pirate ship onto the Moby Dick. From their somewhat staggering movements, it can be seen that they are very uneasy inside.
One, two... ten, eleven... thirty...
Those who came to the Moby Dick were not only a dozen division captains, but also the pirate captains under the Whitebeard Pirates.
Because they are also considered Whitebeard's sons.
They also call Whitebeard "Pops".
"It really is the Moby Dick!" Jozu came to the Moby Dick and touched the deck with one hand tremblingly, "Our Moby Dick is back..."
Vista, who was carrying two swords, searched for Whitebeard's figure with his eyes as soon as he came to the Moby Dick.
"Marco, where is Pops? Where is Pops?" When Vista spoke, he had a choked tremor in his voice.
He was even so excited that his nose was bleeding.
But he didn't care about these so-called images.
"Everyone, follow me!" Marco led the way in front, he reminded, "In addition to Pops, we have a lot of new family members. If I'm not mistaken, Pops should have rebuilt a Whitebeard Pirate Crew in a mysterious place. And, Pops also took in a little guy with golden hair, as the first division captain of the new Whitebeard Pirate Crew."
"Eh? New Whitebeard Pirate Crew? Then what about our Whitebeard Pirate Crew?!" Namur scratched his big fish head, he followed behind Marco, somewhat puzzled.
"Of course, it's the same as before!" Marco replied, "Knowing Pops' character, neither of the two Whitebeard Pirate Crews can be disbanded. By then, it should be two pirate crews moving together."
The Ice Witch "White Bay" is the only female present, she murmured, "Pops is alive... then Ace and Little Oars, and other dead family members..."
His words hung a glimmer of hope in the hearts of everyone present.
Yes!
If Pops can come back to life, can the others also come back to life?
Less than half a minute later, under Marco's patient guidance, a group of impatient old Whitebeard Pirate crew members finally saw their long-awaited Pops.
The two Whitebeard Pirate crews finally met in the true sense!
"Pops... It's really Pops!!!"
Jozu, a rough man over five meters tall, burst into tears on the spot. He cried more "tragically" than when he saw Whitebeard die with his own eyes.
One by one, the division captains, one by one, the pirate captains, just stared at Whitebeard like this.
Everyone's eyes were red.
Tears filled their eyes.
"Gurararararara! You Foolish sons! Why are you crying and howling! If I don't know, I would think that I died today!" Whitebeard didn't avoid cursing whether he was dead or not, he also wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and laughed heartily on his face: "You guys! None of you are allowed to cry! This is your Pops' order! Next door is a group of stinky kids from the Big Mom Pirates, don't let them see you like this!"
As a result, Whitebeard's words this time seemed a bit ineffective.
It was fine when he didn't speak, but as soon as he spoke, this familiar voice made a group of pirates completely unable to hold back the emotions in their hearts.
A group of big men cried like ghosts and wolves.
Some people shouted "Pops", some ran to hug Whitebeard directly, and some secretly wiped their tears.
"Woo woo woo..."
This kind of emotion has even affected Naruto and the others. Hinata couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. She said, "They have experienced Pops' 'death' once, and they must have been very sad at that time, right?"
"It's more than just sad!" Neji thought for a while, if he witnessed Pops' death, maybe he would collapse mentally?
Naruto sniffed, "They all respect Pops a lot!"
"Little friend, your name is Uzumaki Naruto, right?"
Suddenly, a somewhat familiar and somewhat strange voice entered Naruto's ears.
Naruto turned his head curiously and found that it was the pineapple-headed uncle.
Marco explained with a wry smile, "They are all too enthusiastic, they all running to Pops, on the contrary, I am the one who leads the way... I can't get in at all."
Then.
Marco curiously asked, "You are the sons and daughters newly adopted by Pops, I think... you should know a lot of stories we don't know, right?"
Marco sat cross-legged on the deck, he had no airs, and smiled, "Can you tell me your story?"
Naruto scratched his nose with his thumb.
He grinned, "Of course!"
