The division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates were all angrily cursing Squard as a fool.
Ace's capture has plunged the Whitebeard Pirates into an even greater crisis.
How could Whitebeard and his crew possibly abandon Ace!
Are we just going to stand by and watch Ace be executed?
Whitebeard's conservative approach had already stabilized the radical subordinate pirate crews under the Whitebeard Pirates, barely maintaining the situation in the New World.
But Ace's accident will definitely change Pops's desire for stability.
In order to rescue Ace, the Whitebeard Pirates will be drawn into a real war.
That fool Squard really pushed the Whitebeard Pirates into a fire and Abyss.
Now Whitebeard has no choice but to take action.
Protecting one's own and safeguarding one's family were among the fundamental principles upon Whitebeard Pirates were founded.
If Whitebeard hadn't gone to rescue Ace, how would the Whitebeard Pirates have survived in the New World?
How could he face these adopted sons who called him "Pops"?
Moreover, Fire Fist Ace was Whitebeard's most valued successor.
"You've been fooled by Akainu! You idiot son!"
"Perhaps Charlotte Linlin and Kaido want to take advantage of the situation and profit from it, but they will absolutely not cooperate with the World Government!"
"Because of their existence, the World Government will not dare to fully confront us in the New World."
"The World Government is also worried that the Beasts Pirates and Big Mom Pirates will come after them."
Whitebeard's chest heaved, clearly furious with his foolish adopted son.
A perfectly good situation of mutual checks and balances was ruined because of Squard's foolishness.
At that very moment.
"Pops!! Breaking news!"
"The World Government intends to execute Ace at Marineford, the Marine Headquarters!!"
An intelligence officer rushed in in a panic, shouting anxiously at the Whitebeard.
"What!"
Damn it!
"Oh no! The World Government and the Marine Headquarters are trying to lure us out of the New World!"
"The World Government is definitely wary of the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates, these two unstable factors."
"We're all being led by the nose by the World Government!"
"Damn Squard, you're the one who ruined Ace, you're the one who ruined everyone!"
···
The squadron leaders and their subordinate captains began cursing again, wishing they could chop Squard up and feed him to the fish.
"Pops! Don't go to Marineford!"
"Akainu promised me that as long as Ace is dead, the World Government and the Marine Headquarters will not attack us!"
"Akainu also said that they would try to persuade the Red Hair Pirates to stop attacking the Whitebeard Pirates."
"Then we only need to deal with the alliance between the Big Mom and the beasts."
"As long as the World Government and the Red Hair Pirates don't target us, Big Mom and the Beast Alliance will definitely back down..."
"Please, Pops, don't go to save Ace. Just pretend he never existed..."
Squard continued shouting and crying, displaying a foolish loyalty entirely for the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Madness!!"
"You've broken the ship's ironclad rules, and now you want to destroy the very foundation upon which my organization was founded?!"
"I will not abandon any of my family members!"
Whitebeard was finally enraged by Squard's stupidity and slapped his 'adopted son', who had previously left the Whitebeard Pirates, hard across the face.
"You are no longer my son!"
"Kick him off the Moby Dick. The next time we see him, he'll be our enemy!"
Whitebeard angrily reprimanded Squard and coldly issued an expulsion order.
However, he still didn't want to kill his former son on the Moby Dick.
"No! Pops! I'd rather die, but please, everyone, don't go to save Ace! You'll all die..."
Squard screamed in terror, but he still couldn't stop the war between the World Government and the Whitebeard Pirates.
What's the point of him betraying Ace then?
"Roll!"
"Get him out!"
Whitebeard roared, his breathing becoming extremely rapid, and his whole body trembling.
This frightened Marco so much that he immediately used his Immortal Blue Flames to treat Whitebeard.
One by one, the leopard-print nurses quickly applied IV drips to Whitebeard and prepared various medicines for Whitebeard.
"Get out, Squard!"
"The next time I see you, I will definitely kill you, you traitor!"
Killing you here would only tarnish the Moby Dick!
One by one, the squad leaders and their subordinate captains roughly threw Squard and his crew onto their pirate ship, the Great Whirlpool Spider.
Driven by a frenzied killing intent, Squard's crew, terrified, grabbed their captain and fled the massive Whitebeard Grand Fleet.
"Pops! We have to rescue Ace before he's executed!"
"That's right, Pops! We're not afraid of the World Government or the Marine Headquarters!"
Jozu the Diamond and Vista the Flower Sword shouted to express their courage and determination.
One by one, the squad leaders echoed the call.
"Pops! Why don't we take action against Big Mom and the Beast Alliance first, or go after those damned Red Hair Pirates! How dare they even try to attack us!"
"Defeat them first, subdue their forces, and become the Pirate King!"
"Then we can bring all the pirates and power from the New World together to save Ace."
"Perhaps we can even defeat the Marine Headquarters and the World Government, and become the new King of the World."
Several newly joined affiliated pirate crews, amidst their united shouts, actually encouraged Whitebeard to attack the other three Emperors.
His ambition was so great that even Whitebeard's division commanders and veteran subordinate captains thought they had misheard.
It must be said that these subordinate captains were even more foolish and ignorant than Squard.
Even though the Whitebeard Pirates have grown significantly in size, dealing with the alliance between Big Mom and the Beasts is still fraught with danger.
After all, the difference between one of the Four Emperors cannot be bridged simply by having more people.
Moreover, even if they could defeat the alliance of the two emperors, the Whitebeard Pirates would likely suffer heavy casualties.
Besides, once they start a war with Big Mom's Beast Alliance, the World Government and Marine Headquarters will definitely come to take advantage of the situation.
Marco even suspected that these subordinate captains might be spies sent by the World Government.
Everyone's eyes were on the captains of the subsidiary ships who had made these shocking remarks.
"Idiot! Let's not even talk about whether we can defeat Big Mom and the Beast Alliance. If we go to war with them, we might miss Ace's execution!"
Ice Witch Whitey Bay coldly observed the newly joined captains, equally suspecting they harbored ill intentions and might be lackeys of the World Government.
She didn't have much trust in these newly joined radical pirates.
It seems we need to investigate these guys thoroughly.
"So what do we do now? Should we do what Squard suggested and not go to rescue Ace, or should we storm the Grand Line and forcibly take Ace from Marineford?"
Some of the newly joined captains were already wavering.
If they disregard everything and cross the Red Line, they can attack the Marine Headquarters.
Who knows how many people will die in that war?
Instead of sacrificing so much to save Ace, it would be better to take a gamble, start a war against the alliance of the two emperors, and quickly push my Pops to the position of Pirate King.
