Chapter 747 Misleading people

The first half of the Grand Route
Devil's Triangle
The Moby Dick, the last remaining ship of the Whitebeard Pirates, is anchored here.
After experiencing the baptism of war, this giant ship that once roamed the sea and made countless pirates and navies tremble in fear is now covered with traces of battle. The bow that originally looked like a white whale has been smoked black by the war and gunpowder. The side and mast are covered with mottled scars, and the sails are in tatters.
However, although it looks a bit embarrassing, for a pirate ship these damages and scars are its glory and the testimony of its indomitable will.
The surviving crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates on the deck were all sitting on the ground in depressed mood. Many of them had fainted due to being too tired.
Inside the cabin.
Marco glanced around, looked at the dozen or so captains sitting around, and asked.
"Have you all decided?"
"Marco, you don't need to come back and ask for our opinions on this matter. You can just make the decision and agree to the other party's request right on the spot! If you perform the surgery one minute earlier, maybe Dad will have a better chance of survival!"
Diamond Joz exclaimed.
"Joz is right! If there is even a glimmer of hope to save my father, I would be willing to sacrifice my life for disbanding the Whitebeard Pirates and hiding my identity from now on!"
Ace looked anxious.
"Yes! Of course saving dad is the most important thing!"
The other squad captains also nodded in agreement.
"Everyone calm down, Dad is in a stable condition right now."
Marco's face felt a little hot, and he lied to his brothers according to Captain Gel's instructions.
"They said they could try to save Dad's life with the most advanced medical technology, but the success rate of the operation was only about 50%."
"Is there still a 50% chance that Dad can survive? That would be great!"
Everyone witnessed with their own eyes how badly injured Whitebeard was. They didn't expect that he still had a 50% chance of survival. Their pessimistic mood was immediately reduced by half, and was replaced by anxiety.
"Do!"
"Hurry up and let them help Dad with the surgery! What are we waiting for!"
"Don't worry. The other party's condition is that if the operation is really successful, we must disband the Whitebeard Pirates. Everyone who knows that Dad is still alive must hide their identities and retreat to the sea. And this favor must be repaid. If he needs our help one day, we must help him. So, you must think it through."
Marco explained, looking at everyone.
"I agree!"
"I agree too! As long as Dad can be saved! I can agree to any conditions!"
"That's right!"
The captains all answered without hesitation.
"That's great! Since no one has any objections, I'll go and give them a reply right away!"
Marco stood up and walked outside.
"Wait, Marco, can I go with you? I want to watch my dad have the surgery or I won't be able to rest assured."
Ace asked as he caught up with Marco.
"I'm afraid that won't work. You should wait on the boat, Ace."
Ace's head drooped weakly when he heard that.
"Don't worry, I'm here, I'll take good care of Dad!"
Marco patted Ace's shoulder firmly to comfort him.
"Don't think too much. Cheer up, Ace! Don't let Dad down! Dad was determined to die to cover our retreat. We must live well. Even if Dad couldn't be rescued in the end, I believe he died without regrets."
"I see!"
Ace straightened up and answered solemnly.
"You too, don't be too nervous, wait for my good news!"
Marco actually knew that Whitebeard had been resurrected by Gol, so he was not panicked at all. He just wanted to let the brothers choose whether to "not know that Dad is still alive" or "retire with Dad" according to the previous agreement with Gol.

Bird's Nest Island
Castle Conference Hall
"Gudong, gudong! Ah!"
Ginny strode in, picked up the tea on the table and took a few gulps, then wiped the corner of her mouth and said.
"Captain, the Whitebeard Pirates, oh no, according to the agreement, there is no Whitebeard Pirates now. The beardless old man and his large group of sons have already left."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Gir did not show up in person for this matter as he still had a lot of things to arrange and deal with, so he just asked Ginny to delete all the information about Akin's identity from Whitebeard and Marco's memories and then let them go back.
Anyway, apart from Whitebeard, Marco is the only one in the Whitebeard Pirates who is quite strong. He can easily hold back an admiral-level fighter. However, this strength is not enough for Gelhua to put more energy into winning them over. It is enough to keep them as a favor and let them help when needed.
Gur shook his head and smiled, but still felt a little regretful in his heart. On the one hand, both the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and the Flame-Flame Fruit were quite good. Also, perhaps because he had changed the ending, Ace and Whitebeard did not die, so such a historically significant event as the Battle of Marineford did not trigger any rewards.
"If I had known..."
Gel cursed the navy as useless in his heart.
"What's wrong Captain? Is there something wrong?"
Ginny asked, noticing Captain Gill's expression change.
"It's okay. I just want to say that now that the Whitebeard Pirates have retired and returned to their hometown to farm, a position has been vacated for the Fifth Pirate Emperor. I'm afraid the pirates in the New World will be in a carnival again, right?"
Ginny rubbed her chin in thought.
“Captain, we must quickly implement our next plan. Let Buggy and the others act quickly. Otherwise, without Whitebeard’s protection, the Whitebeard Pirates’ territory will fall into chaos!”
"Indeed, Bear, come with me. Let's first pick a few helpers to send to Buggy and the others, and then we can go to Moria to deal with the "treasures" brought back from the level 6 Infinite Hell, hehehe!"
When Captain Gel thought about the fact that there was a group of people with various abilities waiting for him to go, he couldn't help but rub his palms excitedly, like a cunning villain.
"boom!"
"No problem, Captain Gill."
Big Bear closed the book in his hand, stood up and said.
The two were about to leave the castle when Ger suddenly remembered and turned back to ask.
"By the way, what about that Straw Hat Boy? Did he go with the Whitebeard Pirates, or was he taken away by the Revolutionary Army?"
Ginny thought for a moment and replied.
"You mean the rookie pirate? He was taken away by Pluto Rayleigh. I think he was going for special training. Oh, and Rayleigh also asked us to help him pass this news to the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates."
"kindness."
Gel nodded. What kind of special training is this? It's simply misleading. He originally wanted to ask Teacher Kai to give him a small sunflower class to see if it's really true that one stick is Ryusakura, two sticks are Tyrant, and three sticks are Awakening.
