This little runt doesn't know what he's doing.

He's rushing like that to save his brother. Can't even hold his horses.

Young people are too hasty.

He might die.

But he's not that stupid, is he? He knows he might die.

But he's still rushing forward like that.

Hah.

This runt, competing with me?

Competing with me in saving my son, his brother?

What kind of idiot will do that?

I am the Whitebeard!


Hmm. My son is still not saying anything about this little brat's interference.

Although I will have to thank this kid for telling me about the execution ahead of time.

That way, we now have an idea about Sengoku's little game.

Look at that kid.

Still rushing like that.

He's not throwing his life away, is he?

"Stay back, Luffy!"

About time, son.


"I shouldn't have to tell you this! You're a pirate, just like me!"

Give him the lecture, Ace.

Let's see what he does.

"I have my own adventure to live! I have my own comrades! I don't remember asking you to interfere!"

Let's see how the runt will react to that.

His own brother's still trying to protect him even if he's the one that needs protecting at the moment.

Young people are too simple-minded.

"A weakling like you, coming to save me?!"

There you go, Ace. Saying things like that.

"Do you really believe I'm going to forgive you for that?! This is a humiliation!"

My son's pride is on the motion again, is it?

"Get out of here, Luffy!"

I wonder how the brat will react to that.

Ace is practically asking him to go away.

And stay away.

"WHY DID YOU COME?!!"

It's not like Ace to ask for his brother's help.

Nor ours.

Now, how will you react to that, kid?

"'CAUSE I'M YOUR BROTHER! I don't give a crap about those stupid pirate rules!"

Heh.

You better not die, you little brat.


"I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY! I'M GOING TO SAVE YOU EVEN IF IT KILLS ME!"

That's it.

"Marco. Don't you dare let that boy die."

"Roger that."

Maybe that Red Hair made a good decision when he gave his arm to save you.

Why don't you show me that new era that he bet his arm onto, kid?
