One Piece: The Straw Hat Pirates' Max-Level Swordsman

Whitebeard was originally lying quietly on the hospital bed, breathing weakly, as if the flame of life was about to be extinguished.

However, just after Ling Tian gave the mysterious elixir to Whitebeard, a strange warm current suddenly flowed through his body.

This warm current was like a warm stream, slowly seeping into every weak cell of his. Wherever it reached, the almost exhausted functions seemed to be injected with new vitality.

He opened his eyes wide, filled with astonishment and disbelief. Feeling his body's functions gradually recovering, his heart was like a storm, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Boy, what on earth is this thing? It has such a magical effect!" White Beard sat up suddenly, his movements seemed a little hasty because of excitement.

At this moment, his eyes were as sharp as torches, staring at Ling Tian, ​​as if he wanted to see through him, trying to find the answer from Ling Tian's face.

Ling Tian smiled slightly, and there was a hint of mystery and confidence in that smile.

"Newgate, this is a panacea I found by chance. It can cure any disease and injury." His voice was steady and firm, as if he was stating a very ordinary fact.

When Whitebeard heard Ling Tian's words, he was stunned again, his eyes opened even wider, and it seemed that his eye sockets could not contain his shock.

"A panacea that can cure any disease and injury?" His voice trembled slightly because of extreme surprise, and the expression on his face froze at that moment, as if time had stopped because of his shock.

However, Whitebeard was a man who had experienced many storms after all, and after only a moment of distraction, he quickly recovered from the shock.

He moved his strong arms, which had seemed weak due to the pain, but now they were full of strength again.

He clenched his fists, feeling the tenseness of his muscles and the return of strength, and laughed heartily, "Gulala la la la, you always bring me surprises!" The laughter was deafening, as if it would break through the constraints of the cabin and spread to the endless sea.

Seeing Whitebeard recover and regain his powerful aura, Ling Tian's expression turned serious.

His eyes no longer had the ease they had before, but were filled with worry and solemnity.

He looked directly into Whitebeard's eyes, and that look seemed to be able to penetrate all disguises and reach deep into his heart. He asked, "Newgate, do you know that Ace will be executed in three months?"

His voice was low and urgent, and every word was filled with deep concern.

When Whitebeard heard this question, the smile that had just appeared on his face due to his physical recovery instantly disappeared.

His eyes became deep and heavy, and he nodded, "I know, how could I not know this."

His voice was full of helplessness and pain, as if these words were forced out from the depths of his heart.

When Ling Tian heard Whitebeard say that he knew about this matter, his brows furrowed and the worry on his face became more intense.

"Then Newgate, what are you going to do next?" he asked anxiously, his eyes fixed on Whitebeard, expecting him to come up with a comprehensive plan.

Whitebeard stood up suddenly, his huge body towering like a mountain. He clenched his fists, his joints creaking, and exuded a majestic aura that seemed to be able to solidify the air around him.

"What else can we do? Three months later, we will break into the Navy Headquarters and rescue Ace!" He roared loudly, his voice like thunder, shaking the cabin slightly.

Every word he said was filled with his determination and fearlessness, as if he had already seen the scene of a bloody battle with the enemy at the Navy Headquarters.

"I, Whitebeard, will never abandon any of my family members!" He roared again, his voice filled with deep affection for his family and firm determination.

His eyes were burning with anger, and the raging flames seemed to burn away all obstacles that stood in his way.

Ling Tian took a step forward, looking anxious and serious.

"Newgate, the Navy Headquarters is on high alert, we can't act rashly." He tried to calm Whitebeard down and think rationally about the rescue plan.

"That is the core area of ​​the navy. It must be filled with numerous traps and powerful military forces. If we rush in without any preparation, the situation will only get worse." Ling Tian's voice was filled with deep worry.

Whitebeard snorted, his face full of disdain. "Who cares if it's strict or not? I, Whitebeard, am not afraid!"

His tone was firm, with his usual arrogance and heroism. "I have sailed the seas for so many years, and I have seen all kinds of storms and waves. The Navy Headquarters is not enough to make me retreat!"

Whitebeard's chest heaved violently and his breathing was heavy, obviously filled with anger and determination.

Ling Tian continued, "Newgate, I understand your feelings, but acting impulsively will only cost us a heavy price. We must be fully prepared and make a detailed plan to reduce unnecessary casualties."

He slowed his voice, trying to convince Whitebeard. "We must not only rescue Ace, but also ensure that our brothers return safely."

Whitebeard was silent for a moment, his anger gradually subsided, and he began to think about Ling Tian's words.

Finally, he said slowly: "So what are you going to do? Now, I want to gather all the members of the Whitebeard Pirates!"

His tone was still firm, but there was a hint of thought in his voice about Ling Tian's suggestion. He knew that Ling Tian's caution was not without reason, but he was too anxious about Ace's safety.

Hearing Whitebeard's words, Ling Tian took a deep breath and said with a firm look, "Newgate, I will also go to the Navy Headquarters at that time, and let us gather at the Sabaody Archipelago in two months. In these two months, I will look for more helpers and make a more detailed plan. We can't just act blindly based on enthusiasm. We must be fully prepared to have a greater chance of rescuing Ace."

Whitebeard looked at Ling Tian, ​​a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes. A gratified smile appeared on his weathered face, and he said, "Okay, kid, I'll do as you say." Although his voice was still loud, it also had a bit more trust and dependence.

Whitebeard himself knew that this operation was extremely difficult. If the Whitebeard Pirates went to rescue Ace on their own, they would probably suffer heavy casualties.

The Marine Headquarters was not an ordinary place, it was heavily guarded and full of experts. Even he, the mighty Whitebeard, might be kept in the Marine Headquarters forever.

However, when he thought of Ace's young face and that he was the child he regarded as his own, Whitebeard's eyes became extremely firm.

For Ace and his family, he had no reason to retreat. Even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, even if it was a life-and-death situation, he would move forward without hesitation.

In his heart, family is everything, and he is willing to pay any price to protect them.
