I really can't control myself.

Chapter 117

Although Luo's ship was a submarine, it did not dive. After all, there was Marco investigating the surrounding situation.Soon, a fleet appeared, and the first thing that appeared was the only remaining whale-shaped foreign ship. The flagship of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Moby Dick, had sunk in the battle. Four ships of the same style Three foreign ships sank, and only the last one remained.

Behind this whale ship are some ships of the Whitebeard Pirates, about a dozen of them. The number of these ships has been reduced by 90% compared with the previous one. Obviously, the Whitebeard Sea The bandit group suffered severe losses.And behind these pirate ships, there are several naval warships. Of course, these warships are warships captured by pirates. When they escaped before, many pirates also occupied several warships that surrounded them.

Fortunately, there are still a lot of pirates on board, because they retreated in a timely manner, and many people survived.Especially the people on Whitebeard's main ship suffered fewer losses, and the captains all survived.The 43 pirates under his command suffered a lot. As I said before, in order to cooperate with the strategy, the navy focused on attacking these pirates, causing them to suffer heavy losses. Some members of the pirates even survived. .

But anyway, they survived, and not only that, they also rescued Ace, which means they won.But now the only thing they want to know is what happened to Papa Whitebeard.

When Whitebeard was rescued before, everyone knew that Whitebeard's life was hanging by a thread. However, their main ship sank, and their medical team and supplies were gone. Trafalgar Law suddenly appeared in a submarine and expressed his willingness to save people.

After discussing it, they also trusted White Beard, and sent the seriously injured White Beard and Luffy, who was also seriously injured, to Luo's boat.Marco also followed, after all, he is also a doctor.And now they don't know what happened to Papa Whitebeard.

The people on both sides met quickly, but after learning about Whitebeard's situation, everyone burst into tears. Father Whitebeard can no longer fight.For the strongest man in the world, this is simply the most painful result.

"Father!" Ace rushed directly to Whitebeard's bedside, "Yes... I killed you, I was the one who chased and killed Tiki on my own initiative, so I was caught..."

"Bastard..." White Beard roared, "If I could move, I would teach you a lesson now..."

"Dad..."

"I'm just too old..." Whitebeard said, "It's almost time to quit this stage. Ace, from today onwards, you will be the deputy captain of the Whitebeard Pirates."

"What?" Ace was a little stunned, because the Whitebeard Pirates didn't seem to have the position of deputy captain before. Could it be that Whitebeard meant to train himself to be the heir of the next captain?

"And Linton...he will be the new captain." Whitebeard said suddenly.

"What?" Everyone was shocked, looking at the white beard in confusion.

"Wait, wait... This guy is not a member of our pirate team at all." It was Harta, the captain of the 12th squad, who spoke.

"Yeah, he's not Dad's son at all." Another person next to him said.

"But I'm Ace's uncle." Linton spread his hands and said, "You see, Ace is my nephew. Those of you who are of the same generation as Ace are considered my nephews. This is not a family."

"Hey, what's your situation." Ezra stopped Linton and said, "Didn't you always look down on Dad, why do you suddenly want to join?"

"Yeah, people are useless when they are old, but you are still young." Linton said, "Suddenly there are a lot of free labor for me to work, how cool it is."

"So you want to be the captain so that we can work for you?" shouted the captain of a squad whose name was unknown.

"Yes." Linton admitted shamelessly, "Otherwise, what do you want, let me look at you like a nanny? You have to understand, people like Whitebeard don't ask for anything in return, really There is only one captain who sees you as family members, and I am obviously not that kind of person."

"So why..."

"Because I'm the only one who can keep you now." Linton said before he finished speaking, "I can't hide the fact that White Beard can't continue to fight. Although we are the winner this time, this time The losses on the side are also very heavy, and the people on the side will definitely take action, but White Beard can't play, and this matter will be exposed immediately."

"Kaido and the others..." They immediately understood who Linton was talking about. The relationship between the Four Emperors is not good. Everyone is against each other, so what Linton said will definitely happen.

"In short, only I, an outsider who becomes the new captain, can temporarily keep you safe. To put it simply, the relationship between us is not the kind of relationship between the captain's father and the crew's son. We are just taking advantage of each other. That's all, you use my reputation, and I need you to help me work, that's all." Linton said.

"Damn... I will never admit that you are my captain." A captain said immediately.

"Me too." Another person next to him also said.

"Everyone be quiet." At this time, Marco said suddenly, "I understand what everyone means now, and I don't want to admit this guy as our captain, but now is not the time to say this. Although this war won , but the threat we have to face is not over at all, even if we don’t admit it, but at this time, we can only cooperate with him. Don’t tell me...do you still want Dad to get up from the bed and work hard?”

The surroundings suddenly became quiet. Marco's words really shocked them, but this Linton was really...

"But Marco..."

"Don't be too willful!" Marco suddenly roared, startling the others.

"Is it true that you have eaten too much milk and can only bark?" Linton spread his hands and said, "So I said, Whitebeard spoils you too much. After going through such a war, you still don't have any Grow up? On the contrary, Marco, who was beaten to death by me, has matured a lot."

"Hey, let's talk about it, don't suddenly make trouble." Marco said, but he quickly turned to the crew, "We should be mature too, and you know the situation of the old man. Isn’t Dad worried about retiring? After Dad leaves, won’t our Whitebeard Pirates even be able to survive?”

"I also hate this bastard very much." Marco said directly, "But now, we have to cooperate with him. If you are not willing, then grow up...grow up to be able to support this pirate group, use your Power, tell Dad, don’t worry, only we can survive.”

Marko's words really moved everyone. Yes, after this battle, they also understood their own shortcomings. It is true that no one present can reach the height of Whitebeard and really support the entire pirate group.Whitebeard knew this, so he asked Linton to help them carry it, and what they had to do was not to blame others, but to grow up.

"Damn...I...understand..."

"Understood, let him be the captain for the time being."

The white beard next to him watched the whole process, but he didn't say anything.Now he understands why Linton said before that his crew was too cowardly. Is his protection really too much?In short, now is indeed an opportunity for them to grow up. Maybe without themselves, these sons of their own can go further.Therefore, regarding the current situation, he did not express any position, but just watched silently.

"In short, now I am the captain, or the acting captain, whatever you want." Linton said, "Anyway, I didn't care about this position. Anyway, you have to work for me now."

The crew was very upset, but said nothing.

"The first order now is that I need a lot of devil fruits. Whether you gather them for me or collect information about where there are a lot of devil fruits, start taking action immediately," Linton said.

"Devil Fruit?"

"Start now?"

"What else? I still have to wait for you to adjust slowly? How about giving you a big vacation of ten days and a half a month?" Linton said, "See if your enemies will wait for you to take a vacation to adjust. In short Start working immediately, who is in charge of the supplies, how much fruit does our pirate group have?"

"Here... there should be four or five, but I don't know what kind of fruit it is." It was Joz who spoke, and it seemed that he was in charge of the supplies.

"Where is it?" Linton asked.

Joz said that he was on an island in the New World, and Linton had never heard of the name of course.After all, the Whitebeard Pirates are the Four Emperors, so they still have family assets and a lot of treasure houses, and of course they are all in their territory in the New World.

Linton asked about it. It would take about ten days to go there, but Linton still had about twenty days, so he should be able to get those devil fruits, so he immediately ordered to set off there. .Of course, they were originally going to return to their own territory in the New World, so there was no conflict.

Just when Linton temporarily took over the captain's position, the news of the war on the top spread rapidly throughout the world, causing a violent storm.Whether it is the new world, the front part of the great route, or the whole world, everyone is shocked by this amazing news, and the name of Gore D. Linton is also known to everyone.
