Hearing this, Kaido was stunned and at the sa ti, he thought to himself.
'Bob is truly a master strategist!'
Before coming here, Bob had instructed Kaido to keep an eye on one person within the Whitebeard Pirates: Squard.
Because he would eventually betray Whitebeard.
However, Kaido was told not to kill him, just to beat his ass.
At the ti of receiving this instruction, Kaido had been sowhat puzzled.
Why not just tell Whitebeard directly? Or simply kill Squard?
Now, he finally understood the commander reasoning.
Even if a family mber were to betray Whitebeard right before his eyes, he would still be reluctant to harm his own son.
Let alone killing him!
At this mont, everyone in the Bay understood from Kaido's words what had just happened!
It was Squard, one of the subbordinate captain, who had attempted to betray Whitebeard.
"SQUAARDD! Why would you do this?" Marco no longer calm, showed rare anger on his face as he roared at Squard in the distance.
Whitebeard treated his subordinates like family, yet this was the thanks he got.
Marco couldn't comprehend it.
The other division commanders felt the sa, their eyes filled with anger and confusion as they looked at Squard.
anwhile, Squard who had already gotten up, had to fend off the surrounding Marines, constantly swinging his sword to block the soldiers' attacks.
"End this farce, Whitebeard!"
"Haven't you already colluded with the Marines? The lives of the Whitebeard Pirates and Ace will be saved!"
"They must have promised you that, didn't they?" Squard's voice was loud, echoing throughout Bay.
Whoosh!!
Everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates, including the allied pirate crews, fell silent.
Everyone looked in disbelief at their father, the soul of the Whitebeard Pirates.
They desperately wanted to know the answer, to know if what Squard said was true.
"What a foolish son you are!" Whitebeard shouted, his voice deafening.
The next second, he leaped into the air, his body rising from the ground like a giant cannonball being fired.
"BOOM!"
In an instant, he appeared in the midst of the Marine soldiers and with a mighty swing of his supre-grade sword, he unleashed a milky-white aura that ford a circle around him.
The next mont, the energy erupted, sending the surrounding Marine soldiers flying.
Imdiately after, Whitebeard raised his left arm high and reached out to grab Squard.
Seeing this, Squard's first instinct was to flee.
But no matter how hard he tried, his body seed to be held by an invisible force, the overwhelming pressure making it impossible for him to move his legs.
'It's over...' Squard closed his eyes in despair, his heart filled with hopelessness.
This was the strongest man in the world.
Even if his current strength wasn't at its peak, there was no way to withstand such a close-range attack.
And in the next mont, Squard felt a trendous force enveloping him, causing his entire body to shudder violently.
He was suddenly held in a firm embrace.
To his surprise, there was no sense of suffocation as he had expected.
Instead, he felt a strange warmth.
"This..." Squard eyes snapped open and he froze in place.
Whitebeard didn't attacked him.
Instead, he had simply held him in his arms.
In the next mont, Whitebeard bent one knee and his figure vanished from the spot with a whoosh.
A fierce wind howled past Squard ears, stinging his face.
"BOOM!"
With a loud thud, Whitebeard landed on the bow of the Moby Dick.
"Po... Pops!!" Squard stamred, utterly bewildered.
He couldn't understand Whitebeard's actions—why hadn't he just killed him outright?
"Even if you're a foolish son, I still love you!"
"Back then!"
"Wasn't this the scene you see when you first boarded my ship?" Whitebeard's voice was heavy, yet it was filled with affection for this son of his.
Buzz!
Suddenly, Squard eyes widened as realization dawned on him.
Yes! Back then, when he had joined the Whitebeard Pirates he was misunderstood by everyone, and the scene is exactly like this?
"POPS!" Overwheld with regret for his earlier actions, tears stread down Squard face, soaking his clothes.
Before this war, he had made a deal with the Marines.
If he delivered a fatal blow to Whitebeard at the critical mont, the Marines would spare the lives of the other pirates under Whitebeard's command.
He had been deceived into believing that Whitebeard had betrayed his family before he even signed the agreent.
But now, Whitebeard's actions had proven just how foolish he had been.
Only now did he truly understand the aning of the words "Pops" and the unity of the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Whoever steps onto my ship!"
"Becos my family!"
Whitebeard continued, then tossed Squard behind him.
He raised his bisento, Murakumogiri and stood firmly at the front.
Crossing his arms in front of his chest, Whitebeard suddenly spread them wide, delivering a powerful strike to both sides.
Spiderweb-like cracks spread through the air, accompanied by two sharp cracks as an imnse force erupted.
The massive waves frozen by Admiral Aokiji ice powers began to crack.
"BOOM!"
The frozen waves shattered into pieces, falling into the sea and disappearing within monts.
"AS PIRATES, IT'S UP TO YOU TO DECIDE WHAT YOU BELIEVE!" Whitebeard roared, his overwhelming presence sweeping across the battlefield.
At that mont, there was no longer any doubt among the Whitebeard Pirates.
In their eyes, there was only a fierce will to fight.
There was no question that the Marines had orchestrated this.
anwhile, Squard was consud by guilt.
Tears stread down his face as he knelt on the deck, pounding the wooden planks with his fists.
"What a waste!"
Below the execution platform, Admiral Akainu watched the weeping Squard with disdain, muttering under his breath.
He had thought that turning one of Whitebeard's subbordinates captain would deliver a fatal blow to him, but now it seed his plan had fallen apart.
It was as if soone had known in advance and ss with his plan!
This only boosted the pirates' morale.
"Stop watching the show!"
"Support Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Commander Kong!"
