This battle dealt a heavy blow to the Whitebeard Pirates. Many captains were arrested and their pirate groups suffered heavy losses.

"Don't blame yourself too much and get frustrated, Ace!"

"This war has nothing to do with you. They are here for Dad."

Marco sighed again.

Ace said nothing and silently clenched his fists.

"Besides, Sakaski has explained everything you went through during the war."

"No one will believe what Zhan Guo says, you did it all for us!"

"We are a family, aren't we?"

Marco said slowly.

Behind him were the other captains of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Ace's body trembled, then he raised his head and looked at everyone.

"No one will believe the Navy's lies!"

"Dad believes in you, and we believe in you too!"

"Hahaha, Ace, how long have you been with us? How long have you been with the Navy? Who do you think we trust?"

"You are the captain appointed by Dad, cheer up!"

"That's right. From now on, the Whitebeard Pirates will still depend on you to lead them!"

Captains such as Flower Sword Bista, Bramanc, Lakyo, Blenheim, etc. all spoke with a smile, their eyes full of trust and encouragement.

Seeing this scene, Ace's heart trembled, he took a deep breath, and nodded heavily.

“Thank you for your trust!”

Marco also smiled and patted him: "The more difficult the time, the more we must persevere."

After a pause, his tone was inexplicable.

"Whitebeard Pirates."

"Don't fall down!"

Ace's pupils contracted and he exhaled, "I know what to do!"

"From this moment on, you are the new captain of the Pirate Group!"

"Bring everyone back intact."

"Then regroup and one day, avenge this battle!"

Marco said in a deep voice.

"I will definitely rescue Daddy!!"

Ace gritted his teeth.

Before leaving, they all saw that Whitebeard was only captured, and his life or death was uncertain, so they were willing to believe in the best outcome.

That is, dad is still alive.

However, many people actually know in their hearts that their father is in a bad condition.

"Now, let's wait for Shanks to wake up!"

His eyes narrowed, and Ace said in a deep voice.

His gaze was also looking into the cabin.

The two pirate groups had just experienced a great battle and many people were resting, but Shanks was unconscious, so the Whitebeard Pirates, as their allies, naturally had to keep an eye on him.

So, the captain, who was covered in dust and had his wounds simply bandaged, squeezed onto the ship.

Beckman, Jesus Bu and others were inside, and they were outside.

Ace remained silent, clenching his hands tightly.

He was under tremendous psychological pressure. Taking over the position of captain of the Whitebeard Pirates was too sudden and unexpected for him.

This should have been Marco's job, and he was also the ideal candidate in his mind.

But, it is also my father’s wish.

“How can I not let everyone down?”

“How can I become stronger?”

Ace fell into deep confusion.

Chapter 316 Alexander's Ace

For Ace at this moment, what is troubling him and causing him great pressure is undoubtedly the lack of his own strength.

All troubles come from lack of strength.

In this world, the weak don’t even have the power to choose how they want to survive.

Especially after experiencing that war, Ace's desire for power became even more urgent.

If one wants to lead the Whitebeard Pirates, it is far from enough to have the support of more than a dozen captains. What is needed is a strong man at the level of the Four Emperors.

Only by becoming a truly world-class powerhouse can you lead the pirate group to gain a foothold in this world.

But, how can one become an emperor?

Ace gritted his teeth silently. He longed for power. He had never wanted to become stronger as much as he did at that moment.

"If there is a power as strong as that man!"

Clenching his fists, a raging fire burned in Ace's heart.

In that earth-shaking war, that man single-handedly challenged two sea kings and crushed them throughout the whole process. Even after being exhausted and seriously injured, he was still able to defeat a powerful naval admiral with only a sliver of blood left.

Ace couldn't imagine such strength.

After a moment, he sighed.

He actually knew very well that as long as he stayed in the navy, the man would definitely teach him, and this would also be an opportunity for him to become stronger.

But now, there is no chance.

Aboard the Red Force, the atmosphere was heavy.

Everyone was waiting silently. In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed since the battle of Marineford.

One day, Shanks finally opened his eyes.

A moment later, thunderous shouts of excitement broke out on the Red Force.

Beckman walked out with a smile on his face, followed by Jesus Bu and other cadres.

Ace looked at the other party and could clearly see the fatigue on their faces, but the joy and smiles were even more obvious.

"Everyone, thank you for waiting. Now that Shanks has woken up, you can all rest assured."

Beckman spoke out.

Marco glanced at Ace and motioned for him to speak.

The latter hesitated for a moment before he said in a deep voice: "This is indeed something worthy of congratulations."

Beckman smiled and said meaningfully: "The king of the Whitebeard Pirates cannot look like this."

"Come on, kid."

“Don’t let people down.”

Ace was shocked when he heard this, then nodded and said, "Of course not."

At this time, Laqi Lu laughed and shouted: "Banquet, let's have a party!"

"Captain, wake up! This is a big thing worth celebrating!"

Jesus Bu also said: "If he smells the aroma of wine, he will definitely get out of bed, right? Haha!"

"Hurry up and bring out our treasured wine, it's the fine wine from Shanks' hometown!"

"Come on, everyone from the Whitebeard Pirates. You probably need to vent as well, right?"

Beckman said.

Marco remained silent, and Ace nodded: "Then I'd better obey your command!"

A banquet suddenly began.

The originally oppressive, heavy atmosphere was immediately dispersed by bursts of laughter.

It has to be said that the people in the red-haired pirate group have potential in the atmosphere group. Even Ace, Marco and others had smiles on their faces.

"Forget all your worries! We pirates don't live in sorrow all day long!"

"Live to enjoy life, not just to survive."

"cheers!!"

A loud laugh was heard, and everyone felt completely relaxed.

Ace also raised his glass, threw aside the pressure in his heart, and put a big smile on his face.

"That's right, kid, smile!"

"Who doesn't have low points in life? Who doesn't go through hardships?"

“Even the strongest who stand at the top will sometimes sink into the abyss. We should face everything with optimism!”

“What will the future be like? Who knows?”

Jesus said with a big laugh.

"you're right!"

"But the Whitebeard Pirates will not fall, but will become stronger and stronger!"

Ace laughed loudly.

“Good morale!”

At this time, a figure wrapped in bandages and supported by other people walked out of the cabin.

"Hahahaha!"

"Shanks, I knew you wouldn't be able to hold back and would come out!"

Beckman turned around and smiled.

"I can't rest well in such a noisy environment!"

Shanks laughed.

He shrugged and grinned again.

"Besides, this familiar aroma of wine is so tempting!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed and sat next to Ace. Then he grabbed the wine bowl on the deck and drank it in big gulps.

“Enjoyable!!”

Throwing the wine bowl onto the deck, Shanks shouted loudly.

"Shanks!!!"

"You are seriously injured and you can't drink yet!!"

The ship's doctor behind him said angrily.

"It's okay, I'm alive!"

Shanks laughed.

Ace sat with an emperor and seemed a little reserved for a moment.

"Hahahaha!"
