Everyone was taken aback by Ace's question.
The Whitebeard frowned and then spoke.
" Marco, what's going on? Is there a second part of the intelligence that hasn't been revealed yet?"
Whitebeard was well aware of Marco's competence.
Such a minor oversight should absolutely not occur.
He asked this question to allay Ace's concerns.
Marco, of course, understood Whitebeard's intention, and after clearing his throat, he said...
" Pops, that intelligence is indeed gone."
"However, given the Atmos brothers' personalities, I think he was in the process of expelling the War Demon Bai Yu."
"It's also possible that they defeated and drove him away, and there's no time to reply right now."
"I think everyone is well aware of Atmos's strength!"
As partners who have been together for decades.
Not only Marco, but the other captains also nodded in agreement.
In their eyes, it's the same as the consensus on the sea.
No matter how strong Bai Yu is.
It was just hype created by the Marine Headquarters.
During this period, one crazy thing after another has emerged.
It feels like it encompasses the total number of all major events that have occurred at sea over the years.
It is precisely because of this absurdity that it is so unbelievable.
No, I think he will lose!
Ace suddenly spoke up.
The atmosphere on the deck froze instantly.
Didn't this guy just join the Whitebeard Pirates?
How do you talk to people in the Navy?
Could it be that he can't adjust to his new identity?
No!
Ace was a pirate, so there's no way he couldn't switch identities.
It's really inappropriate to speak up for a navy officer now, isn't it?
"Ahem, alright, don't worry about it." The Whitebeard coughed lightly, quickly trying to defuse the situation.
" Ace is a new recruit and doesn't know much about the situation on our ship."
" Ace, Atmos is our brother, and also the captain of the Thirteenth Division. He possesses Zoan Devil Fruit ability," Marco quickly explained.
"In the New World, he has a bounty of 530 million Beli. If you don't count the Whitebeard Pirates, he's a top-tier figure on the entire sea."
"Defeating the Marine Headquarters, that hyped-up Admiral, is not entirely impossible."
"Yes, Marco is right."
"Brother Atmos, you'll definitely be able to defeat that hyped-up Marine Admiral."
"Half a day has passed since the last intelligence report came in. The battle results are probably already in effect. I'll go and contact them to inquire."
The people in the room suddenly started talking all at once.
As pirates, and even more so as members of the Whitebeard Pirates, they had to admit that the strength of the Thirteenth Division Commander was inferior to that of a Marine.
Such a thing is absolutely impossible.
"Brother Ace, don't take it to heart. It's not that people don't believe your judgment, it's just that I know Atmos's strength very well. He truly deserves the high price of 530 million."
Jinbe voice.
"Don't forget, the bounty was set by the Marine Headquarters. The fact that Atmos has such a high bounty proves that the Marine Headquarters also recognizes his strength."
This time, Jinbe traveled a long way to the first half of the Grand Line to help Whitebeard recruit Fire Fist Ace.
It took a tremendous amount of effort to finally persuade Ace to join the Whitebeard Pirates.
Jinbe certainly didn't want Ace and the Whitebeard Pirates to drift apart because of these words.
Jinbe also believed that this was definitely not something Whitebeard wanted to see.
"I'm sorry, everyone, I know you don't believe what I'm saying, but I still stand by my point of view."
After hesitating for a moment, Ace finally spoke.
"Because I know better than anyone how terrifying that guy is."
"And the only one who defeated him was me!"
you!
Those present were speechless with anger.
If Ace was simply being stubborn because he didn't understand something a moment ago...
So, even after hearing the explanation, they still insist on this idea, which is a provocation against the Whitebeard Pirates.
If Ace didn't have the status of a new member.
They would have already launched their attack long ago.
"Hehe, everyone, don't misunderstand Ace. He's still young and doesn't understand the tricks of the Marine Headquarters and the World Government."
Teach squeezed through the crowd with a cherry pie in hand, and said with a smile.
"Look, Captain Atmos's pirate ship is returning, followed by a Navy warship. It seems that the Marine Fourth Admiral has become a prisoner."
"As for the final outcome, all these assumptions will fall apart once Captain Atmos returns."
All eyes immediately turned to the horizon.
Looking at the three ships that suddenly appeared, the one in the lead was none other than a miniature version of the Moby Dick.
The warship behind him, the one flying the blood-red flag that represented Admiral War Demon Bai Yu, was noticeably more conspicuous.
Looking at the three warships that suddenly turned back.
Ace's expression froze slightly, revealing disbelief.
Could it be that Bai Yu really lost?
No!
It's impossible; the only one who can defeat him is me!
Numerous thoughts flashed through Ace's mind.
Whitebeard watched all this with a grim face, then quickly waved his hand and roared.
"Alright, let's not speculate too much, and we mustn't ruin the harmony on the ship."
" Ace is a newcomer and there are many things he doesn't understand, so please don't be too critical of him."
"As for whether Atmos won, we'll find out soon enough."
Seeing that Whitebeard himself spoke up to smooth things over, the slightly tense atmosphere finally eased.
However, there was a hint of unease on everyone's face.
Nobody likes to hear people say bad things about their family.
In the crowd, Teach watched the gradually clearer outline of the ship, a look of ecstatic joy spreading across his face.
Teach never dared to imagine that the Marine Fourth Admiral, War Demon Bai Yu, would fall into the hands of the Whitebeard Pirates so quickly.
After all, the presence of Admiral represents the highest combat strength of the Marine Headquarters.
Normally, upon encountering this Marine Admiral, they would have already turned and fled.
Now Atmos is able to bring back the Fourth Admiral.
This was a truly unexpected surprise for Teach.
The thought that the Dark-Dark Fruit, which he had endured for so many years in pursuit of, had fallen into Bai Yu's hands and been consumed directly was unbearable.
This was something Teach simply couldn't tolerate.
He swore that Whitebeard wouldn't dare kill him because of Admiral Bai Yu's status.
Teach will definitely find an opportunity to finish him off.
Only by killing Bai Yu will the Dark-Dark Fruit reappear in the sea.
Only then will he have another chance to obtain it.
The Teach excited Teach.
Unfortunately, before he could finish his daydream, the pirate ship gradually came into focus.
The scene was one of utter devastation, and the Water Buffalo Atmos were in a terrible state.
Blackbeard was taken aback.
Compared to the unscathed navy personnel beside him.
Who seems more like the winner?
