Chapter 709 Each other
...
"One piece! It's real!!"
In the world of gate, Whitebeard, who had just awakened, suddenly let out a terrifying roar and then began to cough violently!
"Cough, cough, cough!"
He had been holding back on saying this for a long time! He had wanted to shout it out in front of the world's audience before his heart completely stopped beating.
It was all because the thunder was too loud and powerful. I accidentally couldn’t hold on and went offline early, which almost became a big regret in my life.
"Huh? This is it?"
Whitebeard felt like he had had a very long dream, and the end of the dream was also the end of his long life.
He tilted his head with difficulty and found that he was still on the battlefield of Marinford, with a dazed look on his face.
"It's not a dream after all!"
White Beard slowed down and looked at the surrounding scenery. It seemed as if there was a layer of dark green, not very transparent glass between them, making the scene unclear and unreal.
The navy passing by him could not see him at all, and could even pass right through him.
"How is this going?"
Whitebeard reached out hastily and touched his body to make sure he could still feel it and that his soul was not leaving his body.
He also found that all the injuries he had received in the battle had disappeared. Not only that, the intense pain from his internal organs being pierced by swords, burned by magma and lightning had also disappeared! All these abnormalities made him more certain of his guess.
“Kulalalala! Is this the world after death? Interesting!”
"Oh, yes, yes! Whitebeard is so noisy! Don't disturb my rest!"
Hearing the familiar voice coming from beside him, White Beard realized that there was a young man lying next to him, with a sweaty forehead, pale face, and obvious kidney deficiency.
“Kulala! Boy Gel, why are you here too? Are you dead too? That’s right, a brat like you who has done so many bad things must have been struck by the thunder!”
"Thank you so much for your blessing, Whitebeard!"
Captain Gel cursed, but he was a little weak at the moment and his fighting ability was greatly reduced.
"I've been exhausted just to save you! It's ok that you don't show any gratitude to me, but you even want to "bless" me. Has your conscience been eaten by Red Dog?"
"Ger boy, why did you save me?"
Whitebeard had a serious expression.
"Yeah! Why should I save you?"
Gel looked at the sky above his head, which turned green through the filter, and thought absentmindedly.
"To be honest, I don't understand why I should save you. It's so irrational! It's so cost-effective! If I had known that I would have to endure the pain of having my internal organs burned by fire, I would never have saved you. I have been pampered all my life and have never suffered such hardship!"
Ger couldn't help but complain.
"Ku la la la la!"
Upon hearing this, Whitebeard was stunned for a moment, then he started laughing, and finally let out a long sigh.
"Ah~! You're so indecisive!"
"Wouldn't it be more advantageous for you to take my head? Anyway, I don't have much time left to live, so aren't you wasting the plan I have carefully laid out for so long!?"
Whitebeard felt sorry for Gol. It was such an interesting plan, but he was too soft-hearted at the critical moment. It was really a pity.
"Hey, hey, hey, old man, what's the matter? Are you not happy that I didn't kill you?"
Gel got angry when he heard that.
"Hmph! Mind your own business! I never intended to survive this war! This is my last battle as Whitebeard. It's the navy's job to take my head and make a name for themselves! I don't remember asking you to help me, so don't think I'll be grateful to you for that!"
Whitebeard blew his beard habitually and widened his eyes, but he felt something was strange.
"Hahaha, then we're even friends. I don't need the gratitude of an old man like you! Your Whitebeard Pirates are dirt poor, the group of stupid sons on the ship are weak, and you don't even have a pretty daughter. There's really nothing I can look up to."
Gel sat up and responded sharply.
"So you don't have to think too much. I can't say my plan will be 100% successful, but success or failure will never be determined by the head of an old pirate!"
"I saved you because I just wanted to use you as an experiment. I didn't expect that you, an old man, would be so lucky and actually survive!"
“Kulalalala! You’re so arrogant as ever, you little brat!”
Whitebeard's words were harsh, but he could not hide the admiration on his face.
"Don't be so stubborn, brat. I have seen through your plan. The admiral of the navy, Bai Long, is your man, right? You want him to perform better in this war and make more achievements in preparation for the competition for the position of Navy Marshal, right?"
"Wow? I didn't expect you to have guessed this! Awesome! That's right! Ah Jin is my man, so what else do you know?"
Gel pretended to be surprised and thought to himself: Come on, tell me all at once! Tell me in detail! Tell me boldly and confidently, I will write it down for you first so that Ginny can focus on erasing these memories.
"You showed up in time and were so kind to block Sengoku Garp and the admirals for us. Actually, you did it so that Ace and the Straw Hat Boys could escape smoothly, right?"
"As long as the Navy's main combat goal fails, Marshal Zhan Guo will have to take responsibility and resign! At this time, Admiral Bai Long, who has made great military achievements, will become the most powerful competitor. If everything goes well, he can naturally take the position of Navy Marshal!"
Whitebeard narrowed his eyes slightly, making it even more difficult for Gel to find his already small eyeballs.
"Kulalalala! Was my guess correct?"
"I rely on!"
Gel was really surprised this time. He knew how the situation would develop because he had the ability of prophecy. It was really amazing that Whitebeard could guess everything by intuition. It turned out that these heroes who dominated the sea should not be underestimated.
Gel thought, could it be that he possessed Whitebeard and let him secretly hear some of his thoughts? Or did the possession increase his IQ temporarily, so he figured out some problems?
It seems that until we figure it out, it’s best not to use this skill on outsiders.
"It seems that you are not stupid."
Gel praised earnestly, but Whitebeard seemed a little unhappy when he heard it.
"Humph! If I hadn't killed someone as an achievement, your undercover admiral wouldn't have much of an advantage in competing for the position of Navy Admiral, right?"
"Especially compared to the other three generals, he is still so young. However, if he misses this opportunity, it may take more than ten or twenty years for the next marshal position to be vacant!"
Looking at Gel's surprised face, Whitebeard showed a smug expression.
