Whitebeard looked at Akira's injuries, his face full of grief. Akira was his favorite and most valued son, carrying his expectations for the future. So, seeing Akira injured was the most painful thing for him.
"Marco!"
With a loud shout, a blue figure quickly appeared in front of Whitebeard. Marco called out nervously, "Pops!"
Whitebeard put Akira on Marco's back, and then said, "Take Akira and leave this place. Marco, this is my last mission for you. You must complete it, understand?"
"Pops!"
Marco looked at Whitebeard, his hands trembling. But he still firmly carried Akira on his back, and said, "Pops, don't worry. I will definitely protect Akira. Even if I die, I won't let him get hurt again."
"Marco!"
Akira only felt that his body was about to fall apart. He didn't even have the strength to move. He gasped, and said with difficulty, "Teach, that Blackbeard, he, he wants to kill Pops!"
"Zehahaha..."
Blackbeard's arrogant laughter resounded throughout the plaza. This sudden change made the surrounding Navy soldiers also stop attacking, looking at Whitebeard and the suddenly appearing Blackbeard with faces full of vigilance.
"What happened?"
The commotion here attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield. Not only them, but all the viewers watching the world broadcast also revealed looks of disbelief.
"What's going on? What happened?"
"It seems that someone wanted to sneak attack Whitebeard, and then that Death God blocked the sneak attack for Whitebeard, but he himself suffered even more serious injuries. It seems like that."
"Quick, look, who exactly is that guy who sneak attacked Whitebeard? How could he appear there?"
"That person seems a bit familiar. Could he be someone from the Navy's side? But that's not right. He's not wearing Navy clothes."
"..."
The silence on the Sabaody Archipelago was suddenly broken. Countless people widened their eyes, staring intently at the big screen, looking at who exactly was the guy who dared to sneak attack Whitebeard, and injure Akira.
"Isn't that the Shichibukai that the Navy announced not long ago?"
There were still some people who were well-informed, recognizing Blackbeard. Not long ago, the Navy had announced the news that Blackbeard had become a Shichibukai, but it had been covered up by the major event of the public execution of Ace that had been announced at the same time.
Many people only paid attention to the public execution, and didn't pay attention at all to the Navy suddenly having another Shichibukai, let alone inquire about it. Only a small number of people knew Blackbeard.
"I had heard a long time ago that someone had replaced Crocodile as a Shichibukai. I hadn't seen him before, and I thought he wouldn't appear. I didn't expect him to actually appear at this time, and even sneak attack Whitebeard all at once, causing the Death God to be seriously injured. This Blackbeard is really cunning."
The timing of Blackbeard's appearance was really too coincidental. Many knowledgeable people felt that Blackbeard was very strange.
"Isn't this Blackbeard the pirate who defected from the Whitebeard Pirates?"
On the viewing platform, Rayleigh looked at Blackbeard, who was laughing arrogantly on the big screen, and suddenly asked Shakky, who was next to him.
Shakky nodded, and said, "Not only that, he seriously injured the Fourth Division Commander Thatch when he defected from the Whitebeard Pirates. Moreover, it seems that the reason why the Navy was able to capture Ace was also because of him. That's why the Navy made him a Shichibukai."
As an information expert, Shakky's information was still very accurate. She naturally had to investigate clearly when there was one more Shichibukai. So, Blackbeard's resume had been recorded in her mind. She remembered it as soon as she saw Blackbeard now.
Rayleigh said worriedly, "This Blackbeard didn't appear at the beginning of the war, but he appeared at this time. He must be planning something. He wanted to kill Whitebeard as soon as he took action. If it hadn't been for that kid Akira's cover, Whitebeard would probably have really been sneak attacked by him. But although Akira saved Whitebeard, he himself is in even more danger."
Shakky said, "This Blackbeard didn't appear at the beginning, which means that he didn't obey the Navy's intentions. If I haven't guessed wrong, he's probably here for Whitebeard, wanting to kill Whitebeard, and become famous in one fell swoop by stepping on Whitebeard's corpse."
Rayleigh said, "No matter what his purpose is, it seems that he has already completed half of it."
This war was really too intense, and it was also changing rapidly. From the beginning, the appearance of the Whitebeard Pirates had a legendary color, giving people a great sensation. Later, Akira and a group of prisoners who had escaped from Impel Down joined the battlefield, making the entire battlefield reach its peak.
Because Ace had already been rescued, the trend of the war now was developing towards the end, which was also the most intense degree. But no one would have thought that at this crucial moment, a spoiler would actually appear, and sneak attack Whitebeard, seriously injuring Akira, causing such a big commotion as soon as he appeared.
"That Blackbeard is really cunning enough, actually hiding here to launch a sneak attack!"
On the battlefield, Doflamingo was standing on the city wall, looking at Blackbeard in the plaza, his brows furrowing. But he soon laughed again, "Fufufu, but he actually seriously injured the Death God. That's very good, fufufu..."
To Doflamingo, how cunning Blackbeard was had nothing to do with him. But Blackbeard injuring Akira made him very satisfied. It was a pity that he hadn't killed Akira in one go.
"With his tenacious vitality, this degree of injury shouldn't be fatal!"
Hawkeye looked at Akira, who was being carried by Marco, and was in very bad condition, and said slowly.
Rambo said with a face full of worry, "Big Brother Akira, you must leave alive."
Hancock also had a face full of urgency, constantly worrying and praying for Akira in her heart, hoping that Akira could leave safely.
"It's Teach, it's that bastard Teach, Teach injured Akira."
The pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates, seeing that the sneak attacker was actually Blackbeard, all stopped their footsteps, looking at Blackbeard angrily, their eyes filled with fury. Just now, Blackbeard had sneak attacked Whitebeard. If Akira hadn't noticed, and had sacrificed himself to save him, the one who was seriously injured now would have been Whitebeard.
"That bastard, he actually dared to sneak attack Pops. I'm going to kill him!"
Many people roared angrily, wanting to rush over. But they were pulled back by their sensible comrades. Akira and them were trapped in the Navy's encirclement. They couldn't even get out themselves. If they went in, there would only be a dead end.
"Don't go and add to the trouble for Pops and them. The battle there isn't something we can handle."
Not to mention whether they could rush to Whitebeard's front, even if they were to pass, whether they would be helping or hindering was still unclear. Moreover, Whitebeard didn't want them to do this. Many people's minds were still relatively clear.
"Teach, how dare you sneak attack Pops!" Marco shouted angrily at Blackbeard.
Blackbeard laughed loudly, "Zehahaha, Marco, do you still think you're on the Moby Dick? I'm not the same as I was before. So, you need to pay attention to your tone when you talk to me now."
"Teach, you bastard!"
Seeing Blackbeard being so arrogant, Marco couldn't wait to tear him apart on the spot. However, he was still carrying Akira on his back, so he could only watch angrily, but was unable to take action.
"Marco!"
