Chapter 589 - Daily Life: The Reunion of Whitebeard and the Whitebeard Sailing Group
Whitebeard Sea Area.
Just as the Straw Hat Sailing Group was having a hard time, the Whitebeard Sailing Group was also sad because they lost two people on their ship.
Whitebeard and Sasuke.
However, because Akatsuki banned many pirate groups, they don’t have to face many challenges, but they also face the problem of being idle and eating.
If they still wanted to live on the sea, there seemed to be no better way than to help with shipping.
The number of Whitebeard Sailing Group was too large, and it was definitely impossible to continue to be pirates because once they crossed the line, they would be severely attacked by Akatsuki.
Moreover, in order to let Whitebeard’s name continue to survive, Portgas D. Ace and Marco also partic.i.p.ated in the Akatsuki Organization a.s.sessment, becoming one of them.
If the sea is not dry, there will be endless pirates.
There will always be some criminals who will take risks and become pirates…
Moreover, the sea where storms were normal, and from time to time, there would be attacks from the sea kings. Not everyone could sail on the Grand Line, which made the Whitebeard Sailing Group slowly have some escort and shipping business.
In the past, Whitebeard’s reputation was good, so the entire Whitebeard Sailing Group gradually got on the right track and even slowly expanded their business to other sea areas…
This kind of change… was really outrageous.
No one would have thought that Whitebeard Pirates, who used to be famous in the New World, would one day become a sailing group who made a living by escorting and shipping…
On the Moby d.i.c.k.
Marco, Ace, and a group of captains counted the money for the night here. They had run the business for more than two months and even crossed the Calm Belt several times.
Now, they finally earned a large sum of money.
“We need to build a few more Moby d.i.c.k…”
Marco adjusted his gla.s.ses and put away the boxes of money.
Because the Whitebeard Sailing Group business was improving, they needed to build more ships if they wanted to take on more shipping business. Furthermore, the design of Moby d.i.c.k was s.p.a.cious and very suitable for transporting large amounts of goods.
“Okay.”
Ace nodded.
“A banquet?”
Marco looked at Ace.
In the past, Ace liked to hold banquets the most. Whenever he was happy, Ace would always shout for a banquet.
Since the end of the war, Ace rarely had a smile on his face. Marco did not want Ace to be immersed in sorrow like this… Even if Marco himself was still in pain.
“…”
Ace fell silent.
After experiencing this big change in Marineford, his biological father, Gol D. Roger, his foster father, Whitebeard, and his good friend Sasuke disappeared…
Ace had grown a lot.
Now, Ace had started to take on the responsibility of this sailing group. After thinking for a while, he slowly lowered his head, “Then let’s have a banquet! We haven’t had a banquet for a long time. Pops and Sasuke also don’t want to see everyone live in sorrow…”
While Ace spoke, tears slowly flowed down his cheeks and dripped on the deck.
Just when everyone thought Ace would cry out loud, Ace suddenly wiped his tears and laughed loudly, “Hahahaha… Thatch, the banquet is starting. Let Pops and Sasuke see; let them know that we made a lot of money!”
“Yes!”
“Pops will be happy to see his sons earn a lot of money!”
“How can a father be unhappy when he sees that his son can earn money?”
“Pops, we are going to have a banquet!”
The entire Mobi d.i.c.k suddenly became noisy. Everyone could not help but look at the sea and roar, but their laughter was mixed with grief…
They were clearly laughing…
However, there were tears on everyone’s faces…
Everyone missed their father in their hearts. No matter what, they could never forget that their father had given them a home at the darkest and most confusing time of their lives…
In Moby d.i.c.k, the lights lit up the entire night.
The alcohol that the entire ship had purchased had been reduced to nothing. Almost everyone on the ship was drunk, except for Portgas D. Ace and Marco.
Ace stood outside the deck railing and looked up at sea in the night. He drank a gla.s.s of juice from time to time and occasionally showed a smile and a touch of sadness.
“Ace, don’t you hate drinking juice the most?”
Marco held a gla.s.s of juice in his hand and slowly walked to Ace’s side. He patted Ace on the shoulder and whispered, “Ace, Jozu and Vista have worked hard these days. Let’s go have a drink with them!”
“No, I want to keep watch.”
Ace slowly shook his head and sighed, “Sasuke has already left. I want to take on his share and live together…”
“…”
Marco fell into silence.
The banquet on the Moby d.i.c.k was still going on, but Ace and Marco stood on the deck and looked at the sea in deep thought, occasionally wiping away the tears in their eyes.
Just as they were still crying…
A small boat had arrived at the Moby d.i.c.k side, and there were four figures of different heights on the boat. A burst of familiar laughter came from the sea.
“Gurararara…”
This unique laughter instantly attracted the attention of Ace and Marco!
Whitebeard Edward Newgate stood on the small boat and grinned at his two sons, “Looks like my sons are doing well…”
“Pops!”
“Oyaji!”
Marco and Ace’s eyes lit up at the same time. They wiped their eyes as if they couldn’t believe it. After confirming it was Whitebeard, the two jumped down from the Moby d.i.c.k!
On the Moby d.i.c.k.
When Thatch saw this scene with his drunken eyes, he woke up from his drunkenness, “Hey, Marco and Ace seem to be drunk and jumped into the sea. b.a.s.t.a.r.d… The two of them are devil fruit users. Vista, hurry up and come with me to save them!”
A group of drunk fellows rushed to the railing like a gust of wind. They all saw the figure that they would never forget in their entire lives. Everyone could not help but wipe their eyes.
“Am I seeing things…?”
“That should be Pops!”
“How could I mistake Oyaji!”
“Pops seems to have become younger!”
“That is Oyaji when I was young!”
“Hey, Pops is back!”
“Pops is back?”
“Everyone, Pops is back!”
“Sasuke seems to be back too!”
“It seems that Rayleigh and Gold Roger are beside them!”
All the people on Moby d.i.c.k swarmed, and more than a thousand people rushed down and almost knocked over the boat. A few devil fruit users floated in the sea…
It was not until Whitebeard and Sasuke returned to Moby d.i.c.k under their escort that these former pirates calmed down.
Whitebeard changed a lot.
Right now, there were many cracks on Whitebeard’s face, and his body, like Gold Roger, also emitted the aura of a dead person.
Whitebeard was already dead.
Whitebeard could fight for too long during that war because of his illness. After the war, Whitebeard’s life naturally came to an end.
It was just that when some people in the Whitebeard Pirates were imprisoned, they also saw Whitebeard resurrected like Gol D. Roger…
The sacrifice for resurrection…
It was Marshall D. Teach.
Therefore, the entire Whitebeard Sailing Group regarded their captain as missing, not dead. Even if they knew that Whitebeard was dead.
On the Moby d.i.c.k.
A group of people stood on the deck with tears in their eyes.
Whitebeard stretched out his wide palm and stroked their heads one by one. He grinned and said, “Gurararara… Vista, Jozu, Thatch… Don’t cry…”
“Pops, what’s going on?”
Marco clenched his fists as he regained his senses and asked with a heavy face, “What exactly did that Uehara let you do…”
“Let me tell you about this.”
Sasuke took a deep breath.
Sasuke did not die. However, during this period of time, Sasuke actually lived a more painful life than death. His life now was worse than death.
In that war, he finally chose to stand against Uehara, but the result did not change anything.
As punishment for Sasuke, Whitebeard, who should have been able to rest in peace, was resurrected by Uehara using Impure World Reincarnation, becoming an Impure World Reincarnation subordinate.
After Uehara resurrected Whitebeard, Sasuke and Impure World Reincarnated Whitebeard formed a team.
Their mission was to patrol this world in secret.
Sasuke wanted to revive Whitebeard, but Whitebeard always stopped him.
And…
PRayleigh and Impure World Reincarnated Gol D. Roger were also the same. These two people became a team, and their mission was to help Akatsuki patrol the sea.
This really made them wonder whether they should thank Uehara for his kindness or hate Uehara’s inhuman methods even more…
No matter what…
At least they can meet again.
Gol D. Roger was more open-minded. He looked at his son crying beside Whitebeard and sighed, “That person… Although the process seems to be painful… but from the result, it is actually not bad…”
