One Piece - I'm Whitebeard

Although becoming a pirate fleet under the Whitebeard group will be relatively free, but this method makes them lose their original goal.

Now they want to follow Whitebeard because they admire his power. They aim to sail the world and conquer the Grand Line alongside him.

After conquering the Grand Line, Whitebeard will lead his own pirate group, not unite all the pirate groups together.

Hearing their answer, Crocodile nodded slightly and thought to himself, "Indeed, the closer you are to Whitebeard, the better you can truly follow him."

"What? Do you guys also have that idea?" Urouge asked.

"You all go to Whitebeard, but I'll find my own way to become the Pirate King!" Luffy declared suddenly. Among those present, he alone was determined to forge his own path.

From the day he set sail, Luffy swore to himself that he would find One Piece and become the freest person on the seas. Despite having formidable predecessors like Whitebeard, he remained firm in his goal.

"Hahaha, Luffy, that's quite a statement. If that day comes, we'll wait and see," Apoo suddenly laughed.

"Don't think beating Doflamingo proves anything. Compared to the Four Emperors, he's nothing. You saw the battle with Whitebeard and Kaido just now. Against that kind of power, we're all small-timers," Bonney said, pouring cold water on the situation.

Hearing this, Luffy fell silent immediately, clenching his fists tightly. He had indeed seen the battle between Whitebeard and Kaido with his own eyes. The sheer power had left a deep impression on him, one he doubted he would ever forget.

Feeling his current weakness, Luffy fell silent for a moment. But soon after, he regained his confidence, his eyes brightening once again.

"No matter what, I won't give up!" Luffy shouted.

"Hey, did any of you notice the Marines on your way here?" Crocodile asked.

Everyone answered no, confirming that there was no sign of Marines in the waters around Wano Country, as Crocodile had observed when he arrived.

This puzzled Crocodile. Given the scale of the incident, the Marines would have surely received the news by now. It was expected that they would take action, likely beginning to mobilize and surround Wano Country.

"What's the Marine Headquarter thinking? Are they going to let this opportunity slip?" Crocodile wondered aloud.

Seeing Crocodile's concern about the Marines, Apoo and the others didn't find it strange. They understood that if the Marine Headquarter attacked now, their target wouldn't be just Whitebeard or Kaido

There are also hundreds of millions of bounty pirates on the island. There's no way the Marines would let them go.

Therefore, Crocodile is concerned about the Marines' actions at this time, but not because he's worried about Whitebeard.

"Don't worry, if the Marines come, I'll send them all fly," Luffy swore.

"You're right, there's no sign of the Marines now. There are at least two possibilities. First, the Marines may not want to attack Whitebeard or Kaido at this time. Second, they could be making complicated preparations, which is why they haven't acted quickly," Hawkins analyzed.

"Marines won't miss this chance. After this battle, Whitebeard's main force will be greatly weakened, and such opportunities may not come again," Urouge said.

"That's not necessarily true. No matter who wins this war in the end, both sides will pay a heavy price. This outcome is acceptable to the Marines, who will also have the Red Hair Pirates and the victorious side to fight with," Hawkins said.

"I say, why fear the Marines? Let's just take them down and be done with it. If you're scared, you can leave right now," Zoro said nonchalantly.

"Yeah, I'll deal with Marines when they show up. Doesn't bother me," Luffy added.

Crocodile couldn't help but glance at the two of them disdainfully, thinking: Idiots. If Marines really attack, it won't be just for fun. It'll be a big battle.

"Anyway, do as you please. I'm heading out first," Crocodile said, deciding to take his own people to guard the shore.

Others chose to remain there to witness the war's outcome. 

...….

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Enel continued to unleash his thunder from above, wreaking havoc among Beast pirate crew.

While Aokiji faced off against Jack, Queen, and King single-handedly, these three calamities transformed into ancient species. Despite their formidable strength and defense, their attack methods were less versatile compared to their flexibility.

So Aokiji was able to deal with them, and the area around them was already covered in ice, the temperature in the air was much lower.

The low temperature made it feel like they were in the extremely cold place or north blue, keeping other pirate groups away from their vicinity.

"Aokiji... Damn it, he's really difficult to deal with. I wonder what's happened to Boss Kaido."

After fighting Aokiji for countless rounds, King grew anxious. He believed they could defeat Aokiji together, but the opponent proved stronger than expected.

Now King is deeply concerned about the battle between Kaido and Whitebeard. Despite Kaido having Big Mom's cooperation, Whitebeard's strength remains a significant unknown factor.

"Take this, Aokiji!" Quinn yelled, charging at him with his massive body, stirring up a fierce gust of wind.

At the same time, Jack, being closest to Aokiji, immediately joined in the attack. Despite Jack's slower speed, Aokiji easily dodged his moves.

However, after evading Jack's attack, Aokiji found himself unable to dodge Quinn's attack. A powerful gust of wind struck Aokiji's face, and Quinn was about to hit him.

"No way." In a split second, Aokiji swiftly created a thick ice wall on the ground by combining several layers of ice. It appeared incredibly sturdy and looked very hard.

Right after Aokiji created the ice wall, Quinn struck with his brachiosaurus bomb. Instead of attacking from above, Quinn charged straight ahead.

Boom!

The battlefield erupted with a loud noise as Quinn's attack shattered Aokiji's ice wall instantly.
