Chapter 143: Marshall D. Teach!
On the Moby Dick, looking at the two figures pushed apart by the giant blast wave, Haruta was at this moment quite in disbelief.
One must know that all along, the impression Whitebeard had given the members of the Whitebeard Pirates was one of invincibility. Even when the other three Emperors had come to provoke them in the past, a battle of this magnitude had never occurred.
Even Kaido of the Beasts, who was renowned for his strength, had never produced such an exaggerated scene when fighting their old man.
"If he didn't have this kind of strength, how could he possibly sit securely in the position of captain of the Red Nose Pirates? Don't forget, the last few people who appeared were all monsters of extraordinary strength. A captain who can be willingly recognized by those monsters, could his strength be poor?" Vista said with a serious expression.
"That guy who wasn't afraid of being cut back then, who was as jumpy as a clown in every situation... who could have thought he would grow to this extent today? If those guys who used to mock the Chop-Chop Fruit as being completely useless saw this scene today, I don't know if their jaws would drop," Marco said with some helplessness.
"Zehahahaha, I don't know if their jaws would drop or not, but I know very well that after this battle today, no one will be able to suppress Red Nose's fame. At the very least, he will become an existence on par with the Four Emperors," Marshall D. Teach, who had been on Whitebeard's ship all along and had just been silently watching the great battle, stood up at this moment and spoke.
"Teach, what's the meaning of you laughing so happily?" Vista looked at Teach with a frown.
"Zehahahaha, zehahahaha, Commander Vista, what is this scene? A true top-tier master showdown, perhaps even a turning point in the Great Pirate Era. Standing here, how can one not be fired up with excitement? How can one not laugh while watching the changing tides?" Marshall D. Teach was extremely excited, his face smiling even more happily.
"Teach, that's enough! Aren't you worried about Pops's safety at all?" Marco roared at Marshall D. Teach.
"Worry? That kind of thing is superfluous. Since the battle has begun, before it ends, we can only choose to believe, and only believe in Pops. What else can we do?" Marshall D. Teach didn't care at all about Marco's roar.
"Teach, you seem very different today," Thatch said, staring at Marshall D. Teach with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
"Is that so? Perhaps it's because I've been quiet for too long. Staying in one place for a long time, sometimes you really do get bored. I originally thought this kind of life was pretty good, but I don't know why, I always feel unwilling. I am unwilling!" The last sentence Marshall D. Teach said was a direct shout.
"Teach, what's gotten into you?" Suddenly being yelled at like this by Marshall D. Teach, the spectating crowd was taken aback.
"I haven't gone crazy, I've just been holding it in for too long," shaking his head, Marshall D. Teach's voice suddenly dropped to its lowest. He just looked at the people around him with eyes that were calm to the point of being terrifying.
And deep within those calm eyes that no one noticed, a sense of determination and resolve flashed and disappeared.
Seeing that Marshall D. Teach was no longer acting crazy, the crowd couldn't be bothered with him anymore. They all focused their attention on the battle on the island.
At this moment, the battle on the island had entered a white-hot stage. The sound of space shattering constantly rang out during the exchanges between Buggy and Whitebeard.
The entire island trembled with their continuous collisions. The ground was also torn apart by the dissipating power from their clashes. Looking from afar, Kugal Island at this moment was like the aftermath of a natural disaster, a complete mess everywhere.
And Buggy and Whitebeard had also moved from the edge of the island to the central area.
This consensus was reached by both sides of the battle. After all, the destructive power was too great, and both were afraid that if they didn't hold back, it would affect the periphery. After moving to the center of the island, they could relax and fight with all their strength.
After another loud "BOOM," Buggy and Whitebeard separated again. But this time, neither of them was in a hurry to attack, but were instead panting and adjusting their conditions.
"Brat, you haven't said a single word since the fight started. Are you planning to talk after the fight is over?" Whitebeard, for the first time since the battle began, took the initiative to ask.
"Not at all. I just feel that talking is not only a waste of time but also a distraction. A battle requires one's full, undivided attention. That's how you respect your opponent, isn't it?" Panting somewhat heavily, this battle was more strenuous than Buggy had imagined.
Shattering space, no matter how much you relied on your ability, still consumed a considerable amount of stamina. Since the start of the battle, Buggy couldn't remember how many times he and Whitebeard had clashed. It was inevitable that he would be breathing heavily.
"Then tell me, what exactly is your purpose?" Whitebeard asked, staring intently at Buggy.
"Actually, there's nothing to hide. It's just that I want to borrow your fame to abolish the Warlord of the Sea system," understanding that Whitebeard was speaking to adjust his condition, and since Buggy indeed needed to catch his breath, he answered Whitebeard's question.
"Borrow my fame to abolish the Warlord of the Sea system?" At this point, Whitebeard looked at Buggy thoughtfully.
"Alright, in my plan, we should end in a draw. This way, the Red Nose Pirates can shake off the shadow of the Warlords and directly elevate their status to the level of a Yonko. Although you might think this is superfluous, I need the outside world to have this perception. Only when the world recognizes us as such will my words carry enough weight when I stand up and say that I will kill whoever dares to take on the title of Warlord. At that time, even if the top brass of the World Government doesn't abolish this system, the system will slowly fade from the eyes of the world," Buggy knew that only at this moment could he fully explain his plan.
"Is that the reason why you eliminated the Warlord members who were unlikely to quit first?" After hearing Buggy's explanation, Whitebeard immediately connected the dots.
"I was confident I could make Gecko Moria quit, but his ability was too much; it involved desecrating people's souls. Such an ability should not exist in this world, which is why I killed him and sealed his ability. As for Donquixote Doflamingo, I actually had a way too, but that guy was originally a Celestial Dragon. It was only due to various reasons that he was ultimately not recognized by the Celestial Dragons of the Holy Land. And the Celestial Dragons are a bunch of hopeless fellows. One less of such a person is a good thing for the vast majority of common people," while shaking his head, Buggy also nodded and said.
"Then what is your dream? To become the Pirate King?" Whitebeard continued to ask.
