General Lanlin of One Piece

"fire punch!"

Then a loud shout sounded that was very familiar to the pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates.

On the rocky Marinevando Island, among the ruins of the collapsed Fortress of Justice and the Execution Platform, a dazzling fire suddenly burst out from under the fallen palm of the Golden Buddha.

The splendid flame was like a scorching sun rising in Marineland Square. While emitting dazzling light, it also released majestic and surging heat, licking everything around it.

Although the expanding angry flames were blown back by the shock wave in the hands of the Golden Buddha, a raging flame channel still spewed out tenaciously in the chaotic explosion.

In the channel of blazing flames, a figure that was extremely familiar to many pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates quickly condensed out of the soaring flames. With one hand, Sabo, who was coughing out blood from the corner of his mouth, fell from the air with a strong body. , landed steadily in front of Luffy, who was completely sluggish, showed a pleased smile, stretched out a big hand, and pressed it on Luffy's head.

"As expected, I still can't do anything to you, Luffy, you are still as willful as ever."

Luffy stared blankly at Ace standing in front of him through his hazy tearful eyes. Seeing the familiar warm smile on Ace's face, he suddenly stepped forward, hugged Ace, and shouted excitedly.

"Ace! Great! We finally rescued you. This way, you won't die! Ace!"

"Don't just say that others will die. It's very annoying."

Ace grinned and reached out to pat Luffy on the shoulder, "Okay, Luffy, now is not the time to cry. The enemy is still watching."

"Ok!"

Luffy sniffed, suppressing the excitement of rescuing Ace, clenching his fists, getting into a fighting stance, and leaned behind Ace.

"Saab! Can you still fight? If not..."

Ace turned his head and asked Sabo behind him, who was holding his chest and coughing.

"Even if you fall, I will not fall. Ace, don't forget, I saved you this time." Sabo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then made dragon claws with his hands, and turned around. Turn around.

The three brothers stood back to back, forming a triangle, with unconcealable smiles on their faces as they looked at the countless marines pouring in around them.

In the distance, the pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates who were watching this scene, after a short period of silence, were so excited that they burst into cheers.

"Ace!"

"Captain Ace!"

"Ace was rescued! He's so capable! His two younger brothers!"

Marco, who was still obsessed with Enelu, finally showed a smile on his face full of grief, anger and anxiety, "Ace!"

Hancock casually fired a wave of petrified arrows, attacking the surrounding pirates and marines indiscriminately. Anyone hit by the pink arrows in her hand, whether they were pirates or marines, would be instantly petrified. Then her two long, slender, white legs kicked her stone-turned body into pieces.

Looking at Luffy crying with joy after rescuing Ace in the distance, Hancock's always cold face also showed empathetic joy, "That's great, Luffy, congratulations on rescuing your brother."

Whitebeard's old face, full of fatigue and bloodstains, also showed a hint of relief when he hit an air shock that split the entire island of Marinefando into two.

Looking at the three Ace brothers who were getting ready to fight, he took a few breaths with his burnt chest, took a deep breath, and shouted in the direction of Ace: "Ace!"

Whitebeard's loud shout, accompanied by the tremors of the atmosphere, exploded like thunder over the Malinvando Island.

Ace, who was about to fight side by side with Luffy and Sabo, heard the familiar shout, his eyes heated up, and he quickly looked up from a distance.

"Dad!!"

he shouted in a slightly choked voice.

At this moment, in Ace's eyes, Whitebeard's tall body was filled with horrific wounds.

There was a large area of ​​burns on his chest, his body was covered in blood, and the small half of his face on the left side had completely disappeared. It looked simply shocking and unbearable to look at.

Despite such a terrible injury, Whitebeard still stood as steady as a red earth continent, full of the majesty of a king.

The huge battlefield fell silent because of Whitebeard's loud shout.

"Am I still a competent father?"

There was a tiredness that everyone could hear in Whitebeard's old voice.

Hearing Whitebeard's question, Ace's body trembled suddenly, and the tears brewing in his eyes finally couldn't help but burst out.

He knelt on the ground with a thud, knocked his head on the ground, and shouted with all his strength in a choked voice: "Of course! You are the most competent father in the world! You will always be my dad! Thank you, It made me understand...my life is not useless!"

When Whitebeard heard this, a happy smile appeared on his blood-stained face, and he let out a hearty and heroic laugh.

"Gu la la la, gu la la la la! That's good, that's good."

He smiled happily, suddenly raised his right hand high, and shouted with a louder voice: "All members of the Whitebeard Pirates, obey the order! Ace has been rescued, and I am now the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates." Order, order you, everyone to evacuate the battlefield! The ice has been shaken open, everyone gets on the boat and takes Ace back to the new world!"

Whitebeard's thunderous voice echoed over the entire Marineland, making all the pirates who were fighting stunned.

Marco looked at Whitebeard's tall mountain-like back, and an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in his heart. He couldn't help but trembled: "Dad! That guy..."

"I want to stay, make a final settlement with the navy, and rescue Jinbei."

Whitebeard's words caused an uproar among the entire Whitebeard Pirates, and countless voices of opposition immediately sounded from every corner of the battlefield.

Ace also stood up suddenly from his kneeling position and said excitedly: "No! Dad! Let me fight with you! I..."

"This is the captain's order!"

Whitebeard said decisively, while looking at Sabo behind Ace, "You are Ace's brother, right?"

"Yes, my name is Sabo. Thank you for doing this for Ace." Sabo took a deep breath, stood beside Ace, and looked at Whitebeard, with admiration and gratitude in his eyes.

Whitebeard waved his hand, "I am the one who should say thank you, Sabo boy. I want to ask you to take Ace away, is that okay?"

Sabo was startled, glanced at the excited Ace beside him, and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry! I will definitely take Ace away from here safely. I have obtained the teleportation fruit ability of the Great Pirate King. In terms of speed, , no one here can..."

"Hey, let me tell you, what are you talking to yourselves about here all the time?"

Suddenly, a calm voice interrupted Sabo's assurance and sounded in the square not far behind them.

Ace, who was in excitement, and Sabo, who was talking, felt their hearts tremble. They turned around suddenly and saw a demon-like figure, covered in blood, appearing in front of the collapsed execution platform at some point, looking at them quietly.
