Chapter 149
After the negotiation, both sides did not stay for long and immediately went back to deploy their troops. Although they only fought high-end battles, they did not fight randomly. This thing still requires rules!
After Whitebeard returned, he immediately told everyone the results of the negotiation. Without any surprise, it caused an uproar inside!
Let all the captains and fighters fight against the high-end combat power of the navy together with Whitebeard, what does this mean... Everyone knows it very well.
This is to use the lives of a small number of people in exchange for the survival of the majority. A group of ordinary pirate members who were deeply indebted to Whitebeard were not happy at the time!
They clamored to live and die with the Whitebeard Pirates, even if they were weak, they had to contribute... Isn't it just death? Who is afraid!
For a while, everyone shouted indignantly, making the Whitebeard Pirates a mess at the moment!
Whitebeard frowned as he watched all this, feeling both relieved and annoyed. He was relieved because his sincerity was not misplaced... He was annoyed because these guys were too stubborn. They wanted to live and die together, which was so stupid...
Young people should live well before they can enjoy their lives!
In the end, a group of squad leaders suppressed the people under them!
Marco took a deep breath and roared loudly to everyone,
"Everyone, shut up and listen to me!"
The voice was so loud that the sea level trembled... Soon everyone quieted down, but they still looked at Marco with indignation.
Marco looked at everyone, adjusted his mood and said in a deep voice
"I know that all of us in the Whitebeard Pirates are not cowards who are afraid of death. For our families... we can even sacrifice our own lives. Will we be afraid of fighting the navy? We won't.……"
Marco's few words calmed the crowd down. Yes, they are not afraid of death... Why should Dad make such a decision for them? But the next moment, Marco changed the subject and continued:
"But... I firmly agree with Dad's decision." Marco was afraid that someone would interrupt him, so he quickly spoke faster.
"We in the Whitebeard Pirates are not afraid of death but we cannot die in vain. I think everyone should still remember the dream of our pirate group... It is family and unity, not aggression and war!"
"The Navy wants to go to war with our pirate group. Are they wrong? Actually, no... It is natural for the Navy to fight pirates. After all, in the eyes of most people, we are bad."
"But if the war must be started, it will be a disaster for everyone. Winning or losing is meaningless. If we win, that's good, but if we lose... our Whitebeard Pirates' decades of accumulation will be destroyed."
"We can't do this, this is Dad's life's work... We have to preserve some of the spark. You have the courage to die, but don't you have the courage to rebuild our Whitebeard Pirates?"
……
Marco talked a lot, analyzing all the advantages and disadvantages. In general, this war is likely to be lost and there is no need for fearless sacrifice. Letting some people not participate in the war is to preserve some of the fire of the Whitebeard Pirates. Although the pirate group may disappear... but the people are still there, it is possible to rebuild!
With this said, many people feel much better!
Marco struck while the iron was hot and asked the captains of other squads to comfort everyone.
After finishing everything, Marco breathed a sigh of relief and came to his father!
Whitebeard looked at Marco with praise, this kid has finally grown up!
The two looked at each other and soon began to discuss the candidates for the battle and how to cooperate!
Although it is unlikely to win, what if... Whitebeard still wants to give it a try!
