Blackbeard's Performance Begins

Of course.

The rampaging Kaido was still being held back by the two legendary Marine heroes, Sengoku and Garp.

Kuzan had joined the battle as well.

Although they were all deeply shaken by Whitebeard's final words,

their duty as Marines did not allow them to ignore the rampaging Kaido.

After all, the entirety of Marineford had already been reduced to ruins, and countless Marine soldiers had been killed or wounded. If they let Kaido continue rampaging, who knew how many more people would die?

Although Sengoku was furious over Whitebeard's final words, there was nothing he could do. The words had already been spoken and could not be taken back.

The only thing they could do now was end this war as quickly as possible!

And so,

Sengoku, Garp, and Kuzan once again tangled with the rampaging Kaido.

At the Sabaody Archipelago.

Upon hearing Whitebeard's final words, some rejoiced while others worried.

After all, this news was deeply unfair to those who longed for peace. Just one sentence from Whitebeard would bring about who knew how many more pirates in this world?

Once more pirates appeared, there would inevitably be arson, murder, and plunder. For ordinary civilians, that was hardly good news.

However,

none of that was particularly important to one person anymore.

That person was Dark King Rayleigh!

At that moment, Dark King Rayleigh's eyes brimmed with tears. Looking at Whitebeard's towering figure on the screen, he wiped away a tear from the corner of his eye. A smile slowly formed on his face as he said, "Whitebeard, you've gone too."

On the battlefield at Marineford.

"Whitebeard!"

"You truly left behind some incredible final words!"

"You really were a hero of your generation!"

Roya sincerely admired Whitebeard's final words.

Though Whitebeard had died, he had never bowed.
