Pirates: Rush to the Peak

"Dad, it's Red Hair!" Marco shouted loudly behind him, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

Hearing this, Whitebeard, who had been as steady as a rock, couldn't help but have a hint of doubt in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Let's hear what he's going to do?" Whitebeard said in a low voice.

"Yeah." Marco responded and pressed the answer button of the Den Den Mushi without hesitation.

The Den Den Mushi in his hand immediately opened its eyes, revealing a solemn expression.

"Marco, is Whitebeard with you?" The red-haired man's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I'm here. What do you want from dad?" Marco asked bluntly.

"Regarding Kuro's declaration of war, I hope you won't follow him." The red-haired man's words shocked Marco.

"Reason?" Marco asked, holding the Den Den Mushi tightly.

After a moment's silence, the red-haired man slowly spoke: "Kuro will die in Marijoa. This is a deadly situation. I don't want you to die in vain."

This sentence was like a thunder, exploding in Marco's ears. The calmness on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by an extremely serious expression.

"What exactly do you mean by that?" He frowned and stared at the Den Den Mushi with suspicion, hoping to find some clues from its expression and words.

However, the red-haired man did not seem to respond immediately. The air seemed to freeze and a tense atmosphere filled the air.

At this moment, Whitebeard, who had been silent all this time, suddenly broke the silence: "Marco, bring me the Den Den Mushi!"

His deep and majestic voice made people feel awe.

Hearing Whitebeard's order, Marco did not dare to delay at all. He flashed and quickly flipped over the side of the ship like an agile cheetah and landed steadily on the deck.

Then, he walked very fast and arrived in front of Whitebeard in just a few steps.

Whitebeard's face was gloomy as he reached out to take the Den Den Mushi. His eagle-like sharp eyes stared at it intently, as if he wanted to see through this tiny creature to the truth hidden behind it.

A moment later, the red-haired man's voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi: "The Five Elders have mobilized the strongest forces of the World Government and are waiting for Kuro and his men to fall into their trap. They have no chance of winning this battle."

"The strongest fighting force?" Marco, who was standing by, was curious when he heard this and couldn't help asking, "What kind of powerful force would that be? Could it be stronger than the enemies we have encountered before?"

At the same time, when Whitebeard heard the words "strongest combat power", a hint of memory flashed across his eyes imperceptibly.

The scenes of fierce battles with powerful enemies flooded into his mind like a tide, causing this battle-hardened sea overlord to fall into deep thought.

"That's right, so I never want to see you die in vain!" His voice was firm and powerful, resounding throughout the room like a huge bell.

"So, what role do you plan to play in this incident?"

Whitebeard's deep eyes stared at the other person, as if he wanted to see through his true thoughts deep in his heart.

At this moment, the Den Den Mushi that was originally transmitting the conversations between the two parties suddenly became silent, as if it was strangled by an invisible big hand.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the surroundings fell into deathly silence.

After a long time, the red-haired man's deep and slightly vicissitudes voice finally came from the other end: "I will do my best to stop Kuro, even if it means starting a life-and-death battle with him."

The moment this sentence reached everyone's ears, everyone present showed astonishment on their faces. They opened their eyes wide and their mouths slightly opened, as if they could not believe what they heard at all.

However, only Whitebeard remained calm and composed, with no fluctuations on his weather-beaten face, as if he had expected Red Hair to give such an answer.

"Hehe...it seems that you have chosen the Celestial Dragons after all." White Beard shook his head slightly and sighed.

"No! That's not the case!" The red-haired man raised his voice suddenly and retorted righteously, "I am not doing this just out of my own will, but to fulfill the captain's last wish before his death - before the person he is waiting for truly grows up, I must do my best to protect this vast ocean and ensure that it can always maintain peace and tranquility."
