Chapter 358 Whitebeard’s Soft Heart (Ch 358)

For Akainu, who cared a lot about his reputation, this was undoubtedly a slap in the face, and he had no place to vent his anger. After all, it was he who first proposed abolishing the Seven Warlords of the Sea system, and he should bear the consequences.
“Do your best to capture those scum. If the whole world thinks that we have no way to deal with the bounty-bearing navy men, it will not only be a loss of face, but the deterrent power of the entire navy on the sea will be greatly weakened.”
Lilith and Aramaki, who were in the lead, felt helpless. These abolished Shichibukai either huddled together for warmth or joined the Four Emperors. It was not so easy to capture them. But Akainu was angry now, and the two did not want to refute him. They could only accept the matter temporarily and deal with the situation as they pleased when they got to the sea.
After joining Twilight for a period of time, the Nine Snake Island gradually integrated into the life here. The people on the surrounding islands were very curious about these new neighbors, and gradually understood some of the Nine Snakes’ rules when trading with them.
Although there are still some people who don’t believe in it and want to go to this island full of women to find out what’s going on, the female warriors of Nine Snake Island are not easy to bully. After a round of beatings, these reckless people are at a loss. Gradually, no one wants to go there anymore.
Anyway, some of the Nine Snakes’ female warriors would from time to time bring their woven fabrics, clothes, and hunted game to the towns near the island to exchange for daily supplies, which was enough to learn about some of the conditions on the Daughter Island from their mouths.
Following Tiger and Jinbe’s suggestions, Hancock and Granny Cha discussed and organized some of the warriors who were previously responsible for defense and looting on Nine Snake Island into a team, and joined them in the escort work in the Twilight Sea. They could earn a considerable commission from it, and in the short term they would not have to worry about daily necessities.
The large number of female warriors on the Nine Snake Island who are proficient in domineering power have also become a beautiful landscape on the Twilight Merchant Ship. They are not only powerful but also beautiful.
The Cross Guild that made the whole world excited also ushered in its own booming development. First, former One Piece crew member Buggy the Clown announced that he would join. Although the Red Nose’s strength was limited, this undoubtedly boosted the reputation of the Cross Guild, making it easier to absorb fresh blood in the future.
After all, the reputation of the One Piece crew is still very famous. Coupled with the two former Seven Warlords of the Sea, Crocodile and Hawkeye, among whom Hawkeye is also known as the world’s greatest swordsman, the entire Cross Guild became the most popular for a time, and attracted a large number of new forces who came here for its reputation.
………..
In the western part of the New World, on the Moby Dick, George glanced at Marco helplessly.
“Dad still can’t bear to do it, right?”
“Of course, even if that bastard Teach did something like that, in Dad’s opinion, it was because he didn’t teach his son well.”
“Hey, then Alan really sees Dad through and through. He even calculated that Dad would not have the heart to kill Teach.”
Marco seemed silent for a moment. He was wondering whether it was the right thing for him to bring Teach back. Would it be better to kill him on the way back?
After returning to the boat, the shameless bastard knelt on the ground in front of his father and burst into tears, saying that he had just made a mistake because he was possessed by the devil. The key point was that his father really softened his heart.
Now if Marco wants to take action, he has to consider Whitebeard’s opinion, which gives him a headache.
“How about you go and persuade Dad, telling him that it was Alan who said that, and ask him to kill Teach immediately?”
“I also think that keeping Teach will always be a hazard. I’ll go ask.”
After much thought, Marco made up his mind. Otherwise, how could he comfort the souls of his dead brothers?
Marco knocked on Whitebeard’s door, feeling a little nervous. After all, he had never disobeyed Whitebeard before.
“Dad, are you asleep?”
“Come in, Marco.”
Hearing the sound, Marco pushed open the door and walked in. Whitebeard was lying on the couch with his eyes closed.
“I thought you would struggle for a while before coming to me.”
“Hmm? Dad knows what I want to say?”
“It’s nothing more than Tiqi’s business. You grew up with me, so how could I not understand your thoughts?”
Marco smiled helplessly, then gritted his teeth and directly expressed his opinion on Teach.
“Dad, I know that Tiqi was once your son, and you don’t have the heart to kill him, but he has too much blood debt on his body.”
“It’s not just the blood of our brothers in the Whitebeard Pirates. He also has the blood of many of Brother Allen’s men in his hands. Brother Allen handed Teach over to the Whitebeard Pirates for our sake. If we don’t kill him, we won’t be able to explain to them.”
“And I think that if we continue to detain him, given his cunningness, he will one day escape from here and return to the sea to cause trouble again.”
Marco revealed all his thoughts in one breath. Just as Whitebeard said, he grew up with him and there was no need to hide anything.
Whitebeard fell into a brief silence. After a while, he looked at Marco with a complicated expression and asked:
“Am I a good father?”
“Of course, no one in the entire pirate group will doubt this.”
Marco didn’t hesitate for even a second and spoke seriously to Whitebeard.
“Gulala, but I don’t seem to be keeping everyone on the right track?”
“Dad, I think what Brother Allen said before was not wrong in this regard.”
“Um?”
Marco thought about it and decided to tell Alan exactly what he said.
“Not everyone is qualified to be your son.”
“As for Teach, who has been cared for by you for many years but turned around and killed his brothers and sisters and wanted to take away your power, I don’t think he deserves to be called your son, so don’t mind it.”
Whitebeard was stunned for a moment, then gave a wry smile.
“In the end, I was taught a lesson by that kid.”
“Forget it, just do whatever you want to do. Do what you think is right. Although I am the head of the family, I may not make all the right decisions. Besides, I am old, and the Whitebeard Pirates will have to be handed over to you in the future.”
“Dad…………”
Marco wanted to say something but was interrupted by Whitebeard raising his hand.
“Gulala, I, Whitebeard, am not so stingy as to refuse to accept my age. Go ahead. I agree with you. The souls of other children do need to be comforted. This is what I should do as a father. I was too cowardly before.”
“Yes, Dad.”
Seeing that Whitebeard’s expression did not seem fake, Marco felt relieved, then he slowly left the captain’s room with a cold look in his eyes.
“How’s it going Marco?”
George and others were waiting at the door early. If Teach didn’t take care of them in one day, he would feel like ants crawling all over his body. Thatch also appeared in his dreams every night.
Facing everyone’s expectant gazes, Marco nodded slowly.
“Dad agreed. Let’s go to Tiqi’s place and have him go down and apologize to Thatch and the others in person today.”
“And it can also be considered an explanation to the Twilight Pirates.”
