A hysterical the Roar echoed throughout the sea.

Seeing Marco, who had always been calm and composed, suddenly display such panic and urgency, his eyes even turning red, was quite shocking.

Diamond Jozu and the others turned extremely red-faced, their teeth almost grinding to powder.

Only at that moment did they realize how powerless they were.

Regardless of the fatal wounds he suffered at Whitebeard's hands.

Faced with this Haki clash, all they could do was stare helplessly.

They didn't even have the slightest chance to intervene.

However, as Marco said, there's only one thing they can do now.

To change this extreme disadvantage, the only person who could possibly do so is War Demon Bai Yu, the former Fourth Admiral of the Navy.

This person doesn't play by the rules at all.

Red-Haired was taken aback for a moment, then sighed softly.

" Marco, I didn't expect you to say that, but forget about the favor. I just said, please give me some face."

"Whoever dares to make a move, I will stop them."

" Nusjuro, could you please give me the honor of watching from the sidelines? If you insist on making a move, then I'll have no choice but to oblige."

As he finished speaking, Red-Haired Shanks casually drew his Gryphon from his waist and pointed it diagonally onto the deck.

Benn Beckman and the others following behind also straightened up and looked at the Five Elders Nusjuro.

In an instant, an imposing aura emanated from the Red-Haired and his companions, instantly locking onto the Nusjuro.

Nusjuro' expressions darkened.

He never expected that Red-Haired Shanks would step in to stop him at this critical juncture.

If he were at his peak, the Nusjuro would be absolutely fearless and wouldn't take this matter seriously at all.

Unfortunately, having just been resurrected using technology and Daps's abilities, his strength was noticeably diminished.

Let alone taking on the entire Red Hair Pirates alone, even dealing with Red-Haired himself would probably be a struggle.

Not to mention, Red-Haired Shanks also has Benn Beckman, whose abilities are equally unknown, by his side.

However, if he can keep the entire Red Hair Pirates from interfering by himself, that would be a good thing.

At least, in the eyes of the Five Elders Nusjuro, aside from Kaido of the Beasts and Charlotte Linlin.

They also have a Blackbeard here.

Thinking of this, the Conqueror's Haki emanating from the Five Elders and the Nusjuro instantly dissipated, and they subconsciously looked at Blackbeard.

That one glance instantly captivated everyone.

Not to mention the Nusjuro, the pirates present, and even the Four Emperors like Charlotte Linlin, were no exception.

After all, given the current situation, anyone could see that if just one more person intervened, they could completely crush Whitebeard and Ace's Haki.

However, feeling the gazes from all around, Blackbeard's lewd smile froze instantly.

"Captain, it's our turn!"

Catarina urged.

Upon hearing these words, Blackbeard almost punched him.

However, considering the situation he was in, and the people in front of him were his newly recruited subordinates, Teach forcibly suppressed his impulse and said with a face full of embarrassment.

Can I say I don't understand Conqueror's Haki?

What!

Everyone present was completely dumbfounded.

This is a battlefield for a battle between emperors, yet Blackbeard such a high-profile entrance.

Telling him now that he doesn't even have Conqueror's Haki is just ridiculous.

Even the Five Elders Nusjuro's faces darkened slightly; they were losing face.

"Let me do it!"

Katakuri suddenly spoke.

Seeing this, Charlotte Linlin's eyes lit up, and she laughed loudly without restraint.

"Haha, as expected of my precious son, he's much better than those good-for-nothings."

" Whitebeard, I'm very sorry, but the scales of victory are tipping in our favor. You'd better not bother with that brat; he's already scared out of his wits, otherwise he would have come out long ago."

"You should just die!"

Katakuri arrived at Charlotte Linlin's side, and his Conqueror's Haki instantly exploded.

"I'm sorry, but you can only blame yourselves for failing to grasp the big picture. To prevent future problems, I need to resolve this situation as soon as possible!"

Boom!

The situation, which was barely holding on, was instantly shattered with Katakuri's arrival.

The three combined Conqueror's Haki surged towards Whitebeard and Ace with overwhelming force.

" Ace, you guys run! Pops's holding them off here!"

Whitebeard the Roar and shoved Ace away.

Three Haki, like Dotō waves, crashed into Whitebeard's body.

Bang!

Whitebeard staggered back more than ten steps, his injuries, which he had been holding back, finally erupted.

As a mouthful of blood spurted out...

He swayed weakly, forcibly supporting his body with the naginata in his hand.

That feeling was exactly like a lamp running out of fuel.

This scene immediately made Kaido of the Beasts and the others' eyes light up.

In their eyes, the best outcome would undoubtedly be to slowly wear down Whitebeard.

" Pops!"

Ace rushed over and the Roar.

"Brother Marco, have you gotten in touch with Bai Yu? He said he would definitely send a big gift to the Four Emperors Coalition."

"As long as we find him, Pops will definitely not die!"

A grand gift?

Katakuri and the others' expressions changed slightly.

What happened four days ago still comes to mind.

Katakuri, in particular, found those foreseen futures flooding his mind uncontrollably at this moment.

An utterly absurd idea popped into his mind.

Could it be that the great gift he foresaw didn't come from the Five Elders, but truly came from Bai Yu himself?

In an instant, everyone's nerves were on edge, and they looked at Marco with eager anticipation.

"No, I can't get in touch with the Den Den Mushi. Where did he go?"

Marco's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said...

" Ace, when you met Bai Yu that day, what did he say to you, and what did he give you? Think it through quickly; perhaps there will be a turning point."

"Given Bai Yu's personality, he would never do something without being sure of success. Since he advised Pops not to come, he must know Pops would definitely come and has made preparations. You should think about it quickly."

Hysterical the Roar echoed across the deck.

The Five Elders scoffed disdainfully.

"Hmph, Marco, you're too naive. That guy is just an arrogant coward. Do you really think he's some kind of divine strategist who can Future Sight?"

"How could they have foreseen Whitebeard's death and even made preparations for it?"

"Yes, that brat is just a joke," Kaido laughed in agreement.

"He's a coward who doesn't even dare to utter a sound. You'd be better off trusting this admiral than him."

"You should just give up on that idea."

Feeling the gazes directed at him from all around, Ace felt like his head was about to explode.

He quickly skimmed over Bai Yu's last words from that day, a look of shock on his face.

"I remember now, Bai Yu said that if Pops is dying, he must open the brocade pouch he left for Whitebeard; there's something inside that can save him!"
