White Tiger

Whitebeard's crew tried to endure Whitebeard's Haki while those who has weaker mind had fallen one by one. 

Marco noticing Whitebeard's wrath could only try to calm his captain down, "Pops! Calm down! we haven't lose yet! There should be a way for Vista to recover!" 

Whitebeard finally stopped after he vent some of his rage. he drank his liquor once again. 

*Slam! 

He slammed the huge plate onto the deck as he laughed, meanwhile the crews regained their senses and help each other back to their feet. 

"Gurarararara! To think that someone other than Garp dare to threaten me?! Moreover someone as young as that marine brat!" 

Whitebeard were seen laughing nonchalantly, however those who were presents could see cracks appeared in the air due to his Devil fruit ability, indicating their captain anger and indignation!

"Pops! Just say the word! Let's raid the Marine HQ and kill that bastard!" Vista finally snapped and yelled as he raised his head showing his smooth face.

However, rather than feeling sympathy toward their fellow pirate, Whitebeard crews immediately laughed loudly! 

"GAHAHAHHAHA!" 

"That smooth baby face suits you Vista!" 

"Huahahahhahaaha! Oh my, never before i expected to see Vista without his stache!!!" 

"10 points for the barber! Yulalalala...!" 

"Hey Vista! Take me to your barber later yeah? i want to shave too!!!" 

"Hahahhahhhaaha...." 

Even his fellow division commanders such as Blamenco, Atmos, Blenheim and others laugh at him. 

Better than the other, Thatch closed his mouth as he tried his best to hold his laughter even with how futile it looks as his body trembled vigoriously.

Seeing his fellow pirates mocking him, Vista felt dread and indignation especially seeing his crush, the blonde nurse Tate who stood beside his captain giggling.

"Gurararara! My sons!" 

Whitebeard suddenly stood up shutting his children clamor. 

"Go fortify the Mermaid Island, does that brat think that i'm afraid? Vista!" 

"Pops!!!" Vista cast away his mood and stood up. 

"Don't leave Sphinx for the meantime! I suspect that brat Devil fruit ability has awakened. The bone inside your body is proof that he can control his bone which had been disconnected from his body! Stay here and let your family protect you this time!" Whitebeard charisma was full on display when he ordered his crew to move. 

Awed by their captain, the crew immediately howled and hawed full of spirit! 

"YEAH!" 

"You haven't paid that barber yet right Vista? Let your brother pay him for you!" 

"Leave him to us!" 

"Some puny Vice Admiral dare to threaten us? He will become the shortest lived Marine officer in the world!" 

"Lets go to Mermaid Island brothers!" 

"Yahoohoohoo, pretty mermaid here i come!" 

Despite their earlier mockery and laughter, Vista was deeply touched by his brothers gesture. He couldn't help but let out a little tears on his cheek. 

Whitebeard approached Vista and gently wrapped his shoulder with one of his hand, "Don't worry son, i'm Whitebeard!" 

While the available division commanders began to prepare their part, Marco approached Whitebeard once again as he has some concern left. 

"Pops..." 

Whitebeard let Vista go as he looked toward Marco, "What is it now Marco?" 

"I thought we couldn't afford war against the Marine for the time being? why did you gave us a command?"

Whitebeard grinned, "Who says we are going to Marineford?" 

"Then...?" Marco paused as he thought something carefuly. 

Indeed, Whitebeard only tell his crews to go toward Mermaid Island to fortify it, after considering the pros and cons. Whitebeard still hasn't gone senile to leave his teritories which by now still need stability in New World.

He wasnt Rock D.Xebec who was too crazy to wage war against the entire world! 

Knowing on what that Marine brat demand, Whitebeard didn't complied and just let his children go toward the Mermaid Island, if that brat really wanted his teritory, Whitebeard didn't mind to let his children to meet him with iron and blood! 

He was sure that Kimimaro brat will sooner or later go toward the Mermaid Island which by then had been occupied by Whitebeard crews!

As for Vista, once Kimimaro had been dealt with, his bone inside the former will rendered useless and by then, Vista didn't have to do anything as everyhting had been resolved.
