Pirate: You think you can, kill me!!!

How could Scuyard not be in pain now? He had long realized that he had done the most absurd thing in his life.

He actually stabbed his own father in the back.

There was no need for Joz to do anything, the guilt in his heart was enough to kill him.

"Let it go, Jozi. If you want to find the culprit who killed your father..."

"Why not me?"

A man with a few freckles on his face came over and put his hand on Joz's sturdy arm.

His face was full of loneliness.

"Ace..."

Looking at the person coming, Joz slowly loosened his right hand that was tightly holding Squard.

"Ace, you don't have to blame yourself. If it were any of us, Dad wouldn't sit idly by!"

Marco patted Ace's shoulder and whispered soothingly.

Who can understand Ace's feelings at this moment?

The guilt he felt towards his father was no less than that felt by Squard.

"Dad, he may not die. Isn't that guy Su Chen still there?"

"He won the bet with his father. He will definitely not sit idly by."

Marco continued at this time. Whitebeard had mentioned to him the bet between him and Su Chen.

I told myself that I wanted to try harder and find a chance to save Ace before Su Chen.

But after hearing his words, everyone on the deck fell silent.

The whole audience fell silent again.

Can Dad survive?

When they left, Dad's injuries were so severe that none of them could have survived.

The horrific wound was shocking just by looking at it.

Sengoku Garp is ready to make a move.

Plus the old injury that keeps recurring.

Survive?

Why survive?

Even if Su Chen wanted to save him, how could he possibly do it?

With Garp's terrifying strength, he killed Su Chen instantly.

It can be seen that the gap in strength between the two is quite large.

In that case, the other marines were more than enough to kill Dad.

Thinking of this, everyone's heart trembled again. Sadness began to fill the entire deck.

"Gambling? Does Dad know that guy?"

Ace didn't know what was going on between the two of them at this time. He looked at Marco blankly.

"Well, we met that guy in the New World at that time, and because of that bet, he became our ally."

"Why else do you think he rescued you?"

Marco replied.

"What's the content of the bet?"

Ace asked again.

"Betting on who will save you first."

"The stakes are my own lives. Dad has already lost. He lost his life to that guy."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked over here, their faces full of disbelief.

Dad actually gambled so much!

Just gamble your life!

He is one of the Four Emperors, how could he make a bet with a guy whose bounty is only 1.5 billion, and the stakes are his own life!

And now I’ve lost!

Doesn't that mean that my father's life is in the hands of that kid? It's incredible!

But soon, they reacted.

There is no chance that my father will survive...

So that guy got nothing, and if it wasn't for him this time, Ace would never have been able to save him.

So, that guy worked for them for nothing?

At this moment, everyone understood Dad's good intentions.

In that case, that kid will really help save his father.

"In that case, that guy does have a reason to save Dad. But the problem is, he doesn't have the ability to do so."

"Even for him, it would be difficult to escape from there."

After Qiao Zi finished speaking, everyone reacted.

Yes, even if that guy really wanted to save his father, did he have the ability to do so? The answer was obvious.

No.

But Marco's next words once again gave everyone hope.

"Su Chen gave Dad a pill of something similar to a medicine before. It should have a healing effect. It looks pretty powerful. Maybe it can save Dad's life."

Hearing this, Ace grabbed Marco's shoulders and asked hurriedly, "What potion? Can it really save Dad?"

The eyes of everyone on the boat began to brighten. They seemed to see a ray of hope shining.

At this moment, Ace seemed to have grasped the last straw and was anxiously waiting for Marco to bring him some good news.

However, Marco did not respond to him immediately.

But it wasn't long before Ace gradually regained his composure, but the fire of hope that had originally burned in his eyes quickly dimmed, just like the other crew members.

Medicine...

What kind of medicine could save my father from such a desperate situation? That was a fatal injury!

Death is just a matter of time for Dad.

Sadness surged into Ace's heart again like a tide, surrounding him tightly.

Various negative emotions such as self-blame, guilt, pain and sadness came over him one after another, as if to devour him.

"It's me. It's all because of me that Dad died! If it wasn't for my willful behavior, how could Dad...?"

Ace's face was filled with sadness and regret. He could not accept this cruel fact and his heart was filled with endless self-blame and guilt.

Tears began to fall continuously.

Tears of endless sorrow.

His mood now is just like Luffy in the original work, who watched his brother being killed by himself.

"No…it's not your fault, Ace. You don't need to blame yourself like this."

Marco's voice was trembling, as if he had used up all his strength to say every word.

He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he didn't feel any pain.

"Perhaps... this is the ending that Dad expected."

"Rather than dying in obscurity on the ship due to aging and illness, it would be better to die honorably on the battlefield like this. This is in line with my father's usual style!"

Marco murmured, his eyes revealing endless sadness and determination.

He slowly raised his head, his eyes seemed to penetrate the clouds and look towards the distant sky.

However, only he himself knew that he was not really looking at the sky, but was trying to hide his inner pain in this way.

Because he was afraid that as soon as he lowered his head, the tears would burst out of his eyes like a dam breaking, blurring the figure in front of him that made him so heartbroken.

At this moment, Marco wished that time could go back and he could return to the carefree days when he fought side by side with Ace.

But the reality is so cruel and merciless that it mercilessly takes away what they cherish most, catching people off guard.

On this ship, everyone is a determined and courageous warrior.

They have experienced countless storms and challenges, and have long since honed their strong will and tenacious spirit.

However, at this moment, these strong men had tears in their eyes to a greater or lesser extent.

"Yeah Ace, it's not your fault. It's all because of Tikki! It's all because of that guy!"

"That's right. If he hadn't killed Thatch, you wouldn't have chased him. I didn't expect that guy to have hidden his strength. Even you are no match for him!"

Everyone spoke up and pointed out the culprit of this incident.

Ace paused when he heard that.

"I was determined to catch him alone. Dad tried to stop me, but I didn't listen."

Then, flames began to emerge from his body, just like the anger in his heart.

"And that guy Teach, I must kill him with my own hands!"

At this moment, something suddenly fell from the sky!

There was a loud "bang" and the unidentified object fell heavily on the deck.

Immediately afterwards, a shrill scream suddenly rang out.

And that scream was so familiar.

Everyone turned their eyes to the sudden falling object.

When he took a closer look, he couldn't help but gasp - it turned out to be a man with all his limbs broken!

What is even more shocking is that that face is exactly the face that everyone hates so much today!

Everyone who witnessed this scene was dumbfounded and completely stunned.

How could this guy be here? And his limbs were all broken. Who did this?

Just when everyone was stunned by this shocking scene.

A deep and magnetic voice came from the bow of the ship.

"Are you talking about this guy?!"
