Chapter 112: Breaking the Sky and Sea
Chapter 112: Breaking the Sky and Sea
"So, what happened? Everyone looks so sad."
Ling Yuan still hadn't forgotten his original purpose. He glanced at everyone present and asked.
Hearing Ling Yuan's question, Whitebeard waved his hand, his expression instantly becoming extremely ugly. Although Whitebeard didn't want to tell Ling Yuan what happened, Marco, who had a good relationship with Ling Yuan since he boarded Whitebeard's ship, couldn't help it.
"Captain of the Second Division Ace was captured by the Navy. The Navy wants to take this opportunity to livestream the execution of Fire Fist Ace." Marco's tone was filled with indignation. "Just now, Red-Haired Shanks came to the ship and warned Dad not to go to Marinford to rescue Ace. Dad even fought with Red-Haired Shanks..."
"Marco!"
Before Marco could finish his words, he was interrupted by Whitebeard's angry shout. In Whitebeard's opinion, this was their family affair and Ling Yuan should not be told.
"I see..." Ling Yuan rubbed his chin, looking thoughtful. As he expected, Shanks arrived here before him and advised Whitebeard not to take action.
"Ling Yuan, this time we decided to go to Marinford. We want to rescue our family!" White Beard's eyes fell on Ling Yuan and he said with a complicated expression, "So this time, I hope you don't take action!"
Ling Yuan listened to Whitebeard's words with a gloomy look in his eyes. He didn't have many close friends in this world. Ling Yuan could clearly feel Whitebeard's determination to die. If he lost Whitebeard as a friend, Ling Yuan would be very sad.
Just like what happened to Ji Zi back then, he clearly had the ability to save her, but he could only watch Ji Zi stay in that imaginary space forever.
But... why did he forget everything but Himeko's death...
"There's no way I won't go. I helped to establish the Whitebeard Pirates. It's only right that I help you. Go to Marinford and rescue Ace!"
Ling Yuan said this almost subconsciously. He didn't want Whitebeard to die, and he didn't want to see the thing that he had failed to do happen again.
"Besides...Edward, you don't even want to leave Marinford alive!"
After hearing Ling Yuan's words, all the members of the Whitebeard Group except Whitebeard showed surprised expressions, looking at Whitebeard with shocked and complicated eyes.
Whitebeard's expression was extremely cold. He did think so, but he didn't want his sons to know his thoughts. However, Ling Yuan spoke his thoughts directly and let everyone know his decision. Once they knew it, they would never let him die.
Whitebeard had a gloomy expression. He grabbed the Kusunokiri beside him, wrapped it in domineering aura, and chopped it down on Ling Yuan's head.
Ling Yuan frowned, raised his hand and summoned the Ksitigarbha Soul, with golden domineering aura wrapped around it, and headed towards the direction where Cong Yunqie was slashing down.
The two attacks collided, but the blades did not touch. The strong domineering aura between the two swords collided. Compared with the collision with Shanks, a stronger momentum spread out, and everyone on the Moby Dick was instantly knocked down. Only the Empress Hancock stood behind Ling Yuan and was not affected by the collision between Whitebeard and Ling Yuan.
"Look at the sky!"
Diamond Joz struggled to resist the momentum of the two men, pointing his finger at the sky, his tone full of shock. Marco tried hard to steady himself, and looked in the direction Joz pointed, and there was a crack in the sky directly above the Moby Dick.
Unlike Shanks's time, the collision between Whitebeard and Ling Yuan tore a thousand-meter-long crack in the sky's clouds, which could not be seen at a glance. In the crack, the clouds surged, and the cracked sky could not heal for a long time.
"No, look at the water on both sides of the boat!"
Marco stood on the edge of the deck and looked at the sea below in shock. A gully had appeared in the sea on both sides of the Moby Dick. The gully was so deep that one could even see the dry seabed.
Countless marine creatures were cut in two by the fierce momentum, floated up, and then were swept down again by the surging sea water. The surging sea water on both sides of the gully could never fill the cut sea surface, and even a deep cut mark could be clearly seen on the seabed.
However, the cut sea surface deliberately bypassed the Moby Dick, as if the two people who collided on the ship intentionally did not want to destroy the ship, and protected the sea surface around the Moby Dick.
When he raised his eyes again, Marco's face no longer showed shock. The sky was split open and the sea was broken. This was a true collision between the two most powerful people in the world.
The collision lasted for a long time. Whitebeard's domineering aura slowly weakened, while Ling Yuan's domineering aura continued to flow, as if it was inexhaustible.
Finally, Whitebeard sighed deeply, took the lead in withdrawing Kusunokiri, and sat down on the deck. Ling Yuan also put away the Domineering Haki that was constantly outputting, and threw the Jizo Soul back with a casual throw. Everyone on the Moby Dick looked at the expressionless Ling Yuan in horror.
Empress Hancock stood behind Ling Yuan, looking at his back with love in her eyes. He was indeed the man she liked. His powerful strength was really irresistible.
"I didn't expect that after all this time, you are still so powerful. I really don't know where on earth you came from!"
Whitebeard was sitting on the deck, breathing heavily. The tubes inserted into his body had flown away to who knows where because of the collision just now.
It was only at this time that the sea surface that had been cut suddenly merged, huge waves hit the hull of the Moby Dick, and seawater washed the deck. The clouds in the sky that had been cut were surging, and it did not heal immediately, but slowly merged the huge crack.
"When the time comes, I'll leave the crew on the ship to you!" White Beard's tone was a little relieved, and he looked at Ling Yuan with a somewhat lonely look.
If possible, he didn't want to die in Marinford now. Ling Yuan had just returned, and he would be very lonely if he died there.
However, he knew his own body best. The old injuries and hidden injuries accumulated over the years, as well as the side effects of long-term use of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, could no longer support him in the battle in Marinford.
The top navy warriors gathered there, and Sengoku wanted to use Ace to lure him into a trap, and this time he would definitely die. However, he could not retreat, no matter what the reason was, he, Whitebeard, could not give up Ace's life because of fear of death.
Because Ace is also his family, and he cannot abandon any family member. This is the bottom line and principle.
He is a remnant of the old era, and there is no ship in the new era that can carry him. This is the pride that belongs only to Whitebeard. Being able to do something for his family at the end of his life is his final wish.
Ling Yuan looked at Whitebeard with a complicated expression. He gave up the chance to go to the final island in order to live peacefully with his family on the sea. Now, for the sake of his family, he would rather give up his remaining life. Whitebeard's belief deserves his admiration.
Ling Yuan nodded slowly. This was the greatest respect for the upright man in front of him.
