[Portgas D. Ace: "Why am I back from that side again?"]
[Monkey D. Luffy: "Yeah, why are you back from that side?"]
[Trafalgar Law: "That side's Ace isn't dead, is he??"]
[Marco: "Don't talk nonsense! He's definitely not!"]
[Edward Newgate: "I'm back from that side too. Given this situation, Ace should be fine."]
[Monkey D. Garp: "Ah... I still don't understand. Why do they insist on killing Luffy?? Five Elders, can you explain it to me?"]
[Sengoku: "I also want to know."]
The Five Elders collectively fell silent on their end, clearly unwilling to answer that question.
[Gurararara...]
[Along with a hearty laugh, Whitebeard appeared!]
[He throws a punch!]
[The atmosphere shattered instantly. A terrifying shockwave, like an avalanche, instantly enveloped Sengoku!]
["Don't even think about getting past the Fleet Admiral!!"]
[A giant person brandished weapons in his hand and rushed up.]
[Smash!!——]
[The giant was directly splattered with fresh blood and fell to the ground!]
["Whitebeard! Damn it... How are you back?!" Sengoku's face instantly darkened upon seeing this.]
Whitebeard grinned. "Straw Hat kid saved Ace, I owe him this. Otherwise, this old man wouldn't feel at ease!"
[He had just ordered the Whitebeard Pirates' main fleet to retreat to a safe sea area. Whitebeard let the division commanders and ship captains leave first. He wanted to repay Straw Hat Luffy's favor.]
[The division commanders and ship captains vehemently protested!!!]
[And they also said that when the Straw Hat Pirates retreated just now, they had no intention of staying behind to help them!!!]
[But Whitebeard was a clear-headed person!]
[He knew the Straw Hat Pirates didn't owe them anything, and Straw Hat Luffy saving Ace was already a huge help to the Whitebeard Pirates!!!]
[So they left without a problem!]
[His Whitebeard cannot do this!]
[This time, if the Straw Hat Pirates hadn't shown up, not to mention whether they could successfully rescue Ace, just the Whitebeard Pirates' losses would have been in the quadruple digits!!!]
[Even conservatively estimated, division commanders, ship captains, and the like, would have lost at least several...]
[And now, precisely because of the Straw Hat Pirates' appearance, not only did the Whitebeard Pirates achieve their objective for this trip, but they also directly allowed all their members to safely evacuate...]
[No matter how much the Straw Hat Pirates didn't care about this matter, Whitebeard would absolutely not ignore this great kindness!!!!]
[Whitebeard, who took "benevolence and righteousness" as his creed, if he left like this...]
[If the Straw Hat Pirates were annihilated under the siege of the Marines and the World Government, then Whitebeard would never have been able to repay this favor!!!]
[So, he must repay this favor now!]
[When Whitebeard made this decision, the entire Whitebeard Pirates immediately erupted in passion, wanting to go back and fight with their old man!!!]
[However, Whitebeard first explained the reason to them, and then gave a death order to everyone as a ship captain!!!]
[Only Ace agreed to return with Whitebeard to help the Straw Hat Pirates.]
[After all, Ace and Luffy were brothers by bond, and he was saved by Luffy. Him returning with Whitebeard, others wouldn't object.]
[Finally, Marco understood that their old man's mind was made up, so he led the fleet to set sail towards the new world first!!!]
["Whitebeard..."]
Jesus Burgess looked at Whitebeard solemnly and said in a deep voice, "You have been given a path to survival, yet you don't cherish it?"
["Gurararara..."]
[Whitebeard looked up at the sky and laughed loudly, "Burgess, old man! We're all people of this age. Who would dare to take anyone for a fool?! The whole big commotion today isn't just to deal with us Whitebeard Pirates, is it? Although I don't know why your target suddenly turned to Straw Hat Luffy, if you eliminate them, how will you still pool your power to fight us Whitebeard Pirates?!"]
["Straw Hat kid, this old man helping you is also helping myself! As long as you don't die, you'll always be ahead of this old man on the World Government's hit list! Gurararara!!!"]
[Whitebeard's heart was clear as day!]
[The reason he just now agreed to Jesus Burgess to retreat first was simply to let the main fleet retreat to a safe area in advance.]
[Otherwise, once a true great war breaks out, his Whitebeard Pirates will have no chance to evacuate all their members...]
[At that time, if the Marines came to support, the Whitebeard Pirates would suffer heavily!!!]
[But now, with him and Ace alone, they have no worries!]
[Under Ace's Mera Mera no Mi ability, the two of them, even relying on a shabby small boat, can move freely on the vast sea~~~]
"Good! Then thank you very much!!" Luffy didn't mince words.
[He knew Whitebeard's analysis was spot-on, and he also understood that Whitebeard was repaying a favor.]
Whitebeard, holding his Murakumogiri, directly slashed towards Sengoku!
He roared, "I'll deal with Burgess! Straw Hat boy, you and Jinbe quickly resolve those Marines and CP0, and rescue your companions first! Only then will you have a chance to retreat before their reinforcements arrive!"
[As someone who had fought on the Grand Line for so many years, Whitebeard only needed to glance at the battle layout to instantly grasp the key points!]
"Good! You see eye to eye with me!! Then I'll trouble you!"
Luffy nodded slightly and immediately rushed towards Sengoku's side.
"Don't think you can do anything just because you're here! With me here, you won't get away with it!!"
Jesus Burgess saw Luffy wanting to rescue others. His hands, covered in molten rock, instantly condensed into three ferocious evil dogs~~~
["Cerberus!!——"]
Jesus Burgess struck fiercely, aiming straight for his opponent's life.
["Tremor - Slash!!"]
Whitebeard's figure dropped swiftly, intercepting the three-headed dog behind Luffy. He wielded Murakumogiri with an invincible aura, fiercely slashing it down!!!
[Tremble!——]
[The power of magma and vibration erupted at this moment!!!]
[Ah!!——]
[Suddenly...]
[A stone bullet rapidly pierced through the air, and with a thwack, it precisely hit Jesus Burgess's face.]
["Groan~~~"]
[Jesus Burgess's face changed instantly, feeling a sudden sense of detachment!!!]
[His two legs uncontrollably softened a little...]
"Hmm?"
Whitebeard also noticed Jesus Burgess's situation.
[Facing such a good opportunity, Whitebeard would not miss it!]
[He waved his fist and slammed it violently into Jesus Burgess's head. A fierce tremor wave directly blasted Jesus Burgess's head outwards from the center, causing it to suddenly explode!!!]
[Oh!!——]
[In this instant, it was as if he saw God!!!]
[His entire head squished, as if it had directly exploded. Even his brain splattered everywhere.]
He let out a violent cough, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. His body was violently sent flying backward, finally crashing heavily onto the ground!
[With one punch, he almost made Jesus Burgess's brains splatter out. Only then did Whitebeard turn his head to look in the direction of that stone.]
[Directly at the end of Crescent Moon Bay, on the crescent-shaped cannon tower, a figure stood proudly!]
[He held a slingshot as long as a person's height in his hand!!!]
[Whitebeard's brow twitched, he's really there!]
[To hit Jesus Burgess so accurately from that location not only required incredible accuracy but also astonishing arm strength!!!]
[The most crucial thing is...]
[...to accurately hit an enemy among two fighting people is the key... A powerful Observation Haki is truly essential...]
[Otherwise, if you shot that, you might very well hit your own side instead~~]
[Monkey D. Luffy: "Is that Usopp...!!!"]
[Charlotte Katakuri: "To hit an enemy with such precision from that distance... It seems that guy's Observation Haki is very close to top-tier!!!"]
[Tony Tony Chopper: "Wow!! Usopp is so amazing~~~"]
Usopp: "Of course! Someone like me has killed over 2000 enemies~~~"
Trafalgar Law: "That side's Usopp is a truly ideal sniper partner!!"
[Franky: "A powerful sniper can even hit moving targets from several kilometers away, but to be able to strike in a battle of this level not only requires powerful Observation Haki, but also incredible speed! That shot just now, Burgess had no time to react. I don't know how he did it so quickly..."]
[Franky: "Indeed, that shot was too fast!!! Even I couldn't do it!! Usopp, amazing!!"]
[Usopp: "Father!"]
[Franky: "Usopp, you've also become a brave warrior of the sea! Father is very proud...!!!"]
[Franky: "Usopp is truly too strong!!!"]
["Damn it!!! Why did he shoot so fast???"]
[Jesus Burgess, his face ashen, sat up from the ground. He looked at the fragments of Seastone scattered beside him, his eyes wide with shock~~~]
[At the end of Crescent Moon Bay, Usopp picked up another piece of Seastone and placed it on the rubber band of his slingshot!]
[One could only see that this slingshot actually had ten wind fans on both sides!!!]
[Franky: "What?! He actually used wind fans for auxiliary power! He's truly a genius!!!"]
[Kaku: "If I remember correctly, the Going Merry could already sail through the sea by relying on 100 wind fans alone!!! Besides the slingshot's own elastic propulsion, it even added 10 wind fans for auxiliary power. This is using the power to propel a ship to shoot projectiles...!!!"]
[Franky: "So that's how it is...!!! I didn't expect a slingshot could be played like this!"]
[Franky: "Genius! My son is a genius!! This way, the slingshot's power advantage is even greater than a cannon!"]
[Usopp: "Although the advantage is obvious, so many clones are hard to deal with!!! That side of us relies on breeding to be like this..."]
[Monkey D. Luffy: "Should have known earlier to get more wind fans from the sky~~~"]
Nami: "You idiot Luffy! Haven't you figured it out yet? It's not about having many wind fans in the sky! That's it!"
[...The ones we ourselves bred on that side!!!"]
[Monkey D. Luffy: "Huh?"]
[When Usopp's slingshot once again aimed at Jesus Burgess, Burgess's face changed in shock, and he hastily crawled up from the ground, jumping up and down...]
["Gurararara!!! This old man has never played such a rich support game before!!!"]
[In past battles, Whitebeard always fought against the opponent's strongest main force.]
[But usually, in battles that required Whitebeard's intervention, the enemy was definitely strong!!!]
[In such battles, the snipers of the Whitebeard Pirates had no way to intervene~~~]
[This was the first time Whitebeard experienced what it felt like to have someone supporting him in a battle against top-tier powerhouses~~~]
[It was simply exhilarating!!!!]
[Whitebeard laughed heartily, immediately increasing his strength and launching a fierce attack towards Jesus Burgess~~~]
[On the other hand, Jesus Burgess, because he was constantly being targeted, had to continuously divert his attention to observe Usopp, making his fighting become restricted and clumsy, extremely aggrieved...!!!!]
[Usopp's role was to threaten and restrain!!!]
[While pretending to continue aiming at Jesus Burgess, he began to observe the battles of others~~~]
[Suddenly, his slingshot turned, aiming at Kizaru, who was fighting Buggy.]
[Hey!!——]
[As the slingshot string was released, all 10 wind fans simultaneously exerted their power!!! The Seastone bullet seemed to turn into a beam of light in the air, striking with lightning speed, and with a thwack, it directly hit Borsalino (Kizaru)...!!!!]
["Yata Mirror!!——"]
[A wide, thick stream of light instantly burst forth from Borsalino's body, carrying his figure and shooting him to the nearby wall~~~]
["Huh.... trying to ambush me, how immoral~~~"]
[Borsalino had never fought with full strength until now~~~]
[He had always been observing the battlefield, ready to change his approach at any time.]
[Especially when Jesus Burgess was hit by the Seastone bullet just now, Borsalino noticed Usopp's existence~~~]
[After all, he was a Logia-type user of the Glint-Glint Fruit. With prior preparation, it was almost impossible to ambush him successfully~~~]
[On the other side, Luffy sent two giant vice-admirals flying with one punch, then kicked Vice-Admiral Doberman into a wall~~~]
[Ace also knocked down a large number of Marine Vice Admirals!!!]
[In this battle at Marine Headquarters, the scales of victory finally began to tip in favor of the Straw Hat Pirates...!!!]
[Jesus Burgess watched this scene, his eyes slightly narrowed~~~]
[He picked up his Den Den Mushi: "The situation has changed again! Whitebeard and Ace have both joined the battle. The four of you also come over at the fastest speed! Since it's come to this, let's eliminate Straw Hat Luffy, Fire Fist Ace, and Whitebeard all together!!!"]
[After speaking, Jesus Burgess stood up!!!]
[The battle situation before them had become unfavorable for the Marines!!!]
[If this battle situation was allowed to develop, then the Marines might already be completely annihilated before the God's Knights arrived!!!]
[The current situation is actually very clear!!!!]
[If the Marines can hold out until the God's Knights arrive, then the Straw Hat Pirates and Whitebeard won't be able to escape!!!]
[By the time the other four Gorosei arrive, the Straw Hat Pirates and Whitebeard will fall into a death trap!! No one can save them...]
[But these useless Marines apparently can't hold out until then~~~]
["Ah..., Sakazuki has to make his move now!!!"]
[He sighed, and a devilish curve suddenly appeared at the corner of Jesus Burgess's mouth~~~]
[The next moment...]
[He activated his Devil Fruit ability, directly transforming!!!——]
