A divine light flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, and the moving phoenix Cockscomb let out a loud cry and completely escaped into Gu Sheng's body.
A cry as loud and clear as a divine bird resounded throughout the fleet that was rushing forward. The sea suddenly became rough, the sea surface churned, the fleet was turbulent, and many crew members were a little panicked.
"Kids, don't panic!"
At the critical moment, Whitebeard stood up and stood on the bow of the Moby-Dick. His height of 6.6 meters allowed the crew of every pirate ship to see him.
As Whitebeard shouted, invisible ripples of vibration seemed to pass through the surroundings. The violent sea surface was calmed by the ripples, the fleet moved forward smoothly, the turbulent people's hearts were calmed, and the fleet continued to move forward.
"Marco!!!"
After Whitebeard comforted his sons, he turned his head and looked at a cabin on the Moby Dick, where the winter noise just now originated.
There was a smile on his lips, and that loud cry reminded him of a lot.
Gu Sheng's breakthrough has made him happy. The biggest problem of the Whitebeard Pirates has always been the lack of a strong successor.
He is not young anymore. Compared to his aunt Charlotte Lingling and Kaido who are in their prime, as well as the younger red-haired Shanks, his age is almost declining. These are the jackals and tigers.
The Leopard's courage to challenge the White Tuan at this time is the key to its status.
The Whitebeard Pirates lacked a second powerful Yonko. Although the original Marco Chozi and others could match the general, they really couldn't defeat him! It is impossible for the pirates to encounter the general every time.
A bunch of people go up and besiege!
The struggle between the top powers relies on a group of first-class masters to intimidate those top masters? This is unrealistic! It is even more difficult to have the cohesion to influence one party.
There is also competition among the four emperors. The four emperors are stronger than ordinary generals. The current three generals are actually considered super, and they are also extremely powerful among the general-level strong men.
If Whitebeard goes, the Whitebeard Pirates will definitely encounter many challenges without the Yonko-level warriors. Perhaps Marco, Jozi, and Bista will be able to reach the general-level strength after entering their peak period and truly be able to
Sit on one side.
But there is another problem here. The relationship and status between powerful captains such as Marco, Jozi and Bista, and the forty-three pirate groups under their command are actually relatively equal. There is no Whitebeard.
Cohesion, after encountering big difficulties between them, they are likely to fall apart.
In the original work, the White Beard Group launched a battle of revenge against Blackbeard, which ended in the defeat of the Whitebeard Pirates. After that, although the Whitebeard Pirates had been seriously injured, the remaining force was still huge, with forty-three pirates.
Together they become the emperor-level force of the new world.
However, after the failure, the Whitebeard Pirates soon fell apart. The captains of the headquarters who had not died left separately. Marco went to protect Whitebeard's "hometown". The forty-three pirates were replaced by the new Shichibukai, the so-called Shichibukai.
Edward Wilbur of Whitebeard II keeps nibbling away.
The once huge Whitebeard Pirates came to an end sadly under the stranglehold of several forces.
The reasons for this are complicated, but the most important one is that Ace, the designated heir to Whitebeard and the most recognized captain of the second team, died on the battlefield above.
Fire Fist Ace is the captain of Whitebeard's second team and the youngest and most promising captain. Generally speaking, the selection of successors is based on comprehensive ability, potential and qualifications.
Seniority is Ace's shortcoming, but with the support of his brothers from the 16th Captain, this is not a problem.
In terms of strength, Ace's ability to secure the position of captain of the second team is naturally recognized for his strength. This can be confirmed from the fact that the Forty-three Pirates did not hesitate to follow Whitebeard to attack Malinfando. Generally speaking,
The sailor, even if he is Whitebeard's son, why should everyone go to such trouble?
Another potential, this is Ace's biggest plus point. His youth and strong strength are like a rising star of the Four Emperors. This is why he has been recognized by most of the pirates under the Whitebeard Pirates.
The key to being the first heir.
Ace, who is twenty years old, has the strength to rival a general. Although he is not outstanding among the top five captains in the department, he alone has the strength to escape from a general.
He would be captured alive by Blackbeard. On the one hand, he was not familiar with Blackbeard's fruit abilities and fighting methods, and Blackbeard broke his collarbone during the battle. The other reason was that he wanted to protect Luffy, so he chose to fight with Blackbeard.
Fight to the death instead of retreating.
If Ace chooses to escape after being injured, Blackbeard is unlikely to capture him alive. Although the suction power of the Dark Fruit is powerful, Ace's fireflies can also cause damage to him, taking advantage of the characteristic of doubling the pain of the opponent's injuries.
, he also has the possibility of escaping.
Whitebeard was still a little worried about this battle. There must be countless strong men in Malinfando. This was a conspiracy against him. Even he, the strongest man in the world, could not guarantee that he could save Ace while keeping his body intact.
And retreat.
He, the remnant of the old era, was ready to sacrifice. Originally, he was worried that the future after the Whitebeard Pirates might be chaotic for a while until Ace grew up and could rise again.
But Gu Sheng's breakthrough allowed him to see another light. As the first captain of Whitebeard's headquarters, Phoenix Marco is the well-deserved number one in terms of strength and qualifications. After Ace's appearance, he was regarded as the most likely successor.
.
Even after Ace appeared, it was Marco who took the initiative to give in. The reason is that his potential is not as good as Ace. The forty-seven-year-old Marco can almost see the ceiling. At most, he has a general-level strength at his peak, and then as he reaches his peak
After the period, the strength declined.
But during this period of time, Gu Sheng's continuous breakthroughs have given Whitebeard an extra reassurance. Even if he dies in Malinfando, with Gu Sheng's existence, Whitebeard's glory will still continue.
…
Gu Sheng, who was in the room, didn't know what Whitebeard was thinking. He was very hot now, very hot... The purple-red flames and the blue-green flames were intertwined. Behind him, two shadows of firebirds were slowly moving.

Five powerful strange fires lingered around his body, and then, five groups of fire rushed towards his Dantian and quickly escaped to his limbs and bones.
At the same moment, in Gu Sheng's spiritual sea, a blue-purple immortal firebird chirped loudly, and the elegant firebird spread its wings in the cabin...
