Before touching the divine branch, Marco's tone was full of doubt.
Because he knew that his father suffered from geriatric diseases, the aging of his body’s organs, and that he drank a lot after being seriously ill, had heart disease, and all three other geriatric diseases.
Want to cure dad completely?
He had been thinking about it for more than ten years, but he couldn't think of a solution. He could only manage to maintain his father's health by using a sling bottle!
But the moment he touched the divine branch, his body behaved the same as Ace did just now...
Stiffened!
To be more precise, I was shocked by the function of the divine branch that automatically appeared in my mind.
Physical fitness!
Extend your life!
Heal!
Flesh from dry bones!
A severed limb is reborn!
Every effect of the divine branch was like a thunder that continuously exploded in Marco's mind.
So completely stunned that he temporarily ignored the existence of his body.
This is simply a miracle medicine!
How could something like this appear in the sea?
Uh... By the way, this is not their sea...
"Marco...Marco..."
"Um?"
Marco, who was awakened by Whitebeard's roar, looked at the source of the sound with empty eyes, apparently not yet completely over the shock.
"What's going on with this branch?"
"Why are you like Ace, people are stunned as soon as you get it?"
To be honest, the behavior of the two sons just now made Whitebeard feel a little scared.
"Dad, you can be saved...you can be saved! Haha..."
Marco, who fully reacted, rushed to Whitebeard's side and handed the branch in his hand to Whitebeard like a treasure, with an ecstatic expression on his face.
"I'm not dead, so why save me?"
Looking at Marco's expression, Whitebeard became more and more worried.
No, he just rescued Ace, has Marco gone crazy again?
Should you worry so much?
"No...no, this thing can cure your disease, dad!"
Marco's face turned red, it was excitement.
"What?"
"Marco, are you serious?"
"This... this thing can really... really cure dad?"
After hearing Marco's words, Whitebeard was still expressionless, but the captains who were watching first became excited.
"Would I lie to Dad?"
"Furthermore, Ace and I didn't even notice the malicious intent. How can it be fake?"
Marco's eyes widened. "Of course it's true. Eat it. As long as you eat it, maybe your father's health will recover, haha..."
"Um..."
Gulu...
Whitebeard stared at Marco and saw that although his facial muscles were deformed with excitement, there was no madness in his eyes other than ecstasy, and he swallowed the sacred branch without hesitation.
Just because he believes that Marco will not harm him!
"How about it?"
"How do you feel, Dad?"
Seeing Whitebeard swallowing the sacred branch, Ace, Marco, and the captains who didn't know the inside story all focused on Whitebeard.
"Wait a moment before dad swallows it. The effect will be so quick..."
It was clear that Marco himself was the most nervous, yet he had to speak out to calm the others.
Because he is a ship's doctor, he is most familiar with Whitebeard's condition and the time it takes for the drug to take effect.
But the magical branch works so quickly.
Here, Whitebeard stuffed the sacred branch into his mouth, and the sacred branch turned into a thick liquid full of vitality and poured into his stomach.
Whitebeard felt a line of fire shoot straight down his throat, and then a warm heat spread throughout his body.
"call..."
Whitebeard exhaled a stream of turbid air that was extremely comfortable. There were a few black spots in the turbid air, which lingered in the air for a long time. At the same time, the space where the turbid air was located was vibrating violently to a degree visible to the naked eye.
This was a trace of Whitebeard's fruit ability that he inadvertently brought out when he was experiencing exhaustion, and this was something that could never happen after he was seriously ill.
"Ah...comfortable...this relaxing feeling...it's...I haven't experienced it in a long time..."
"I feel like my body has returned to ten years ago, haha..."
After the heat dissipated, Whitebeard let go of the big knife in his hand and started to expand his chest easily.
The captain of Team 3, "Diamond" Jozi, who was standing aside, took the sword for Whitebeard with a wink. Looking at the deep pit left by the handle on the deck, he knew that his father was confronting the navy marshal just now.
At that time, he used the big knife as a crutch.
After all, my father has been wearing a bottle on his own boat for more than ten years. Just standing up from the bottle consumes a lot of life force.
But now, Dad lets go of the big knife, which means that Dad can move freely without the support of the big knife.
“Do tree branches really work?”
Diamond Jozi was shocked.
"Haha... Although I have only recovered a little, I feel a lot more relaxed. Thank you for your hard work, Marco."
Whitebeard's crescent beard trembled with joy.
He is not happy about his extended life, but because he exists for one more day, he can protect his sons for one more day, and the big ship of the Whitebeard Pirates can also sail for one more day.
Until his sons have fully grown up, he, a relic of the old world, can retire without regrets.
"Only recovered a little?"
Ace, who was shocked by the many effects of the divine branch, felt that he had been cheated and spoke out in displeasure.
"Haha...I'm very satisfied with this."
White Beard took a deep breath of relief. The stinging sensation in his lungs disappeared, and his already failing heart gained strength.
"It's already very good. Considering Dad's body, to be honest, the effect of this branch has exceeded my expectations."
On the contrary, Marco, who is familiar with the properties of the human body, is already very satisfied with the effectiveness of the divine branch, just like Whitebeard himself.
Because as long as there is an effect, it is a matter of quantity.
"Next..."
Marco jumped up and appeared on the mast, looked down at the Whitebeard Pirates and shouted loudly.
"Have you seen the white monster I just captured?"
"Go find them, hunt them, collect twigs!"
"This thing can cure daddy!"
"This is our blessed place!"
"Um?"
Marco's words instantly made all the pirates excited, "Really?"
"real!"
Marco nodded affirmatively.
"Ahaha...Dad can be saved?"
"Come on...everyone come together!"
"For daddy, kill them all!"
After receiving approval from Marco, the ship's doctor and steward, a group of pirates rushed madly towards the few remaining intact ships.
There are only a few ships, so if you don't run faster, you won't be able to get a seat.
"Jozi, you, Bista, and Luck are on the island with dad to prevent the navy. The other captains should follow..."
"No...me too..."
Diamond Jozi just opened his mouth to say that he wanted to go too, but after Marco said that, he spread his arms and turned into a fire phoenix and flew away.
"Haha... Listen to Marco, dad's safety will be left to you."
"Buffalo" Artmos patted him on the shoulder and rushed towards the ship that was about to set off.
...
"This thing..."
On the navy side, after Sengoku ate the sacred branch, his expression became even more ugly.
"What, it tastes bad?"
Seeing Sengoku's ugly expression, Garp thought it was like a devil fruit and tasted like shit.
"No, it smells very fresh."
Garp didn't know: "What about you?"
Warring States: "It's just that this thing is too powerful. It can greatly increase the strength and activity of the body. Do you know what this means?"
"Isn't it possible for Whitebeard to recover? I've heard those bastards yelling a long time ago."
Speaking of Whitebeard's recovery, Garp's eyes showed a little fighting spirit.
Whitebeard is recognized as the strongest man in the world!
Even though he was seriously ill and his organs were failing, he could no longer use his domineering force. Most of his strength had been lost, but he could still pin down the general Akainu to the ground and rub him with his remaining body.
If he really recovers, his strength will definitely be one level higher than the three generals.
"No, you are wrong. No matter how strong Whitebeard is, there is only one person."
Lieutenant General He said with a serious expression: "What Sengoku is worried about is that this branch has too many effects and will make the new generation of pirates more powerful!"
"That's right..."
Warring States nodded, "When we use Haki, our fruit abilities need to extract energy from the body, but this kind of branch can greatly improve the physical fitness. The sea will be even more chaotic in the future!"
"Haha...I thought you were worried about something!"
Lapu lazily stuffed himself with a mouthful of senbei, "Pirates will become stronger, so why not train the navy to be stronger?"
"It can only be the."
Warring States looked at Kizaru: "Go tell Aokiji to give priority to collecting sacred branches during exploration!"
"no problem!"
Kizaru made an OK gesture, and his body turned into light and disappeared.
"No, I have to run away!"
Seeing that there was a possibility of recovery for Whitebeard, Blackbeard was so frightened that his calves became weak. The group of people jumped on the head of the giant San Juan Wolf and let him swim towards the depths of the sea.
"Is this right here?"
After more than ten miles, Doflamingo noticed four huge stone peaks standing on a huge stone platform above the sea.
"Haha...Hawkeye, I'm going to take the first step!"
Looking at Hawkeye who was moving very fast on the door panel, Doflamingo laughed and swung his body faster.
"Delusion!"
Hawkeye slashed his sword downwards, and the terrifying sword energy was released, and the sea surface was directly cut open to reveal a river bed composed entirely of Haishilou ore.
The huge thrust makes the door panel fly forward like a jet.
"Unfortunately, you are too slow...haha..."
Doflamingo swung to the highest point, and the thin thread immediately wrapped around the top of the stone peak. Then he pulled hard and his body hit the ring at top speed.
At this time, Eagle Eye had just arrived at the bottom of the stone peak.
Hawkeye tapped his toes and rose into the air, but just as he was about to step onto the stone platform, an irresistible repulsive force pushed him back onto the stone peak.
"what happened?"
"Why can't I get in?"
Eagle Eye stood on the steps of Shifeng, looking extremely unhappy.
"Haha...this is the arena!"
"Do you know what an arena is?"
"The rules are either a big brawl or 1 vs. 1!"
"If you look at the surrounding stone peaks, there are layers of people on the stage. Obviously, the central stone slab is the arena, and the stone peaks next to it are the audience seats.
Doflamingo himself has held many arenas and is very familiar with the rules of the arena. Since Hawkeye can't enter, this arena must be 1 vs. 1.
Thinking of this, Doflamingo became even more excited. With such rules, wouldn't it mean that no one can interfere with him?
"Haha... Infinite power and eternal life belong to me, Doflamingo, haha..."
"Eagle Eye, just stay right there and watch my performance!"
After feeling happy, Doflamingo scanned the stone platform, but found no living creatures, not to mention humans, not even ghosts.
"opponent?"
"Where is my opponent?"
"Come out!"
"Where is the endless power and eternal life?"
Not seeing his opponent, Doflamingo shouted high into the sky.
Dong Dong...
While he was roaring, the water at the bottom of the stone peak surged violently, and then a huge turtle covered with spikes emerged from the sea.
"Is it just a Neptune type?"
Looking at the weird looking three-tails, Doflamingo showed a hint of joy on his face.
If it were just the Neptune type, it would be too simple.
"Roar..."
Xixi...
The three tails let out a beast's roar, and the sea water around it floated up, and then it descended into the ring with its huge body wrapped around it.
There is so much sea water that it can fill a stone platform with a diameter of several kilometers and turn it into a huge lake.
The stone platform obviously has no frame, but the seawater filling it does not overflow at all.
"No, what's going on?"
Doflamingo hung in the air relying on the thin string wrapped around the top of the stone peak, and was confused as he looked at the arena that was completely filled with sea water.
Isn't this cheating?
That is to say, he can hang in the air with a thin thread. If other fruit ability users come up...
Before the fight even begins, the person with the fruit ability will sink into the sea and drown alive!
"Brother Ming, you ate the devil fruit. If it doesn't work, let me do it!"
Hawkeye also saw Doflamingo's predicament and shouted anxiously.
Of course, he is not worried about Doflamingo, but wants to come out on top.
"Haha...you don't have to worry anymore..."
Doflamingo stepped on the thin thread and seemed to be suspended in the air.
In this moment, he used four stone peaks to create a network above the arena.
"Gugu..."
A large number of bubbles suddenly appeared on the water surface. Doflamingo looked around and saw the huge spiked black head sunk in the sea rising up, its mouth opened, and a black energy ball emitting terrifying energy fluctuations flying at extremely high speeds.
forming.
"What the hell is this?"
Sensing the energy fluctuations emitted by the Tailed Beast Jade, Doflamingo felt a little nervous.
Bang!
The tailed beast jade burst out of the water gate and shot towards Doflamingo at high speed...
"Absolutely, absolutely cannot be hit!"
Doflamingo stepped on the thin line and raised his body high.
Zheng!
The tail beast jade hit the online net and pulled it high.
"Haha...it's not a big deal!"
When Doflamingo saw this scene in the air, he thought the energy ball was blocked by his own wire net, and a look of disdain appeared on his face.
This monster looks very fierce, but it should be similar to the Neptune type.
Kill it, no big problem!
Bang!
Just when Doflamingo was lusting after his body, the Tailed Beast Jade exploded, and a dazzling white light burst out from the arena!
The web of threads woven by Doflamingo quickly dissolved under the terrifying energy tide, and his people were also directly swallowed by the energy tide.
The power of the Tailed Beast Jade is not its impact, but its explosive power!
If Doflamingo didn't weave a wire net and only needed to avoid the tailed beast, the tailed beast jade would only fall into the sea instead of exploding directly at high altitude.
But Doflamingo, who had never seen a tailed beast before, was careless!
"This monster is so strong, but its strength is limited!"
Hawkeye, who was watching the battle, felt a little confused in his eyes after sensing the power of the Tailed Beast Jade.
In his opinion, the energy ball emitted by the monster is terrifying, but it takes time to condense.
If you do it, it will only take a few cuts.
But it shouldn’t be!
As the defender of the central arena, this strength is indeed a bit weak!
