"Pops!"
It took fully a dozen seconds for Akira to react, calling out sadly. However, just as he shouted out, a large mouthful of blood sprayed out from his mouth, and his body followed, collapsing to the ground, kneeling directly on the ground.
The surrounding pirates, seeing Akira spit out a large mouthful of blood, were all startled, quickly walking over, and two of them helped Akira up. However, Akira was like he didn't have any feeling, still staring blankly at Whitebeard's corpse.
"Pops, Pops, Pops..."
The great sorrow made Akira not know anything, only knowing to call out Whitebeard, and blood was still flowing from his mouth at the same time. He had just undergone treatment inside Minazuki's body, and his injuries had stabilized. But now, with his emotions out of control, his injuries immediately became serious again.
"Cough cough, cough cough cough..."
Suddenly, Akira coughed violently. Not only that, his face also turned purplish-red, his breathing was rough and heavy, looking like he was about to suffocate to death.
"Not good, Marco, quickly check on Akira, Marco."
Seeing that Akira's situation wasn't right, the surrounding people quickly called out to Marco, who was also very grief-stricken. Marco, hearing these words, didn't have time to be sad, quickly rushing to Akira's side.
Marco was startled when he saw Akira's situation. He had known Akira for so many years, and this was the first time he had seen this kind of situation. This kind of excessive sorrow, plus Akira's injuries, if not handled well, could very likely threaten Akira's life. Now that Whitebeard had died in battle, Akira, as the mainstay of the Whitebeard Pirates, absolutely couldn't have an accident.
"Doctor, doctor, quickly call the doctor over."
Marco shouted loudly, while hugging Akira's body, quickly saying, "Akira, calm down, calm down, calm down, quickly calm down."
However, Akira was like he couldn't hear anything, still not saying a word, his eyes dull, his expression blank, and his aura was also becoming more and more chaotic.
The doctor quickly came over. He was also startled when he saw Akira's situation. After taking a rough look, he quickly said, "Captain Marco, he has suffered extremely serious injuries. Now his emotions have collapsed. This can't continue. There will be a danger to his life."
"What did you say?" Marco roared angrily at the doctor.
The doctor said, "His situation is very dangerous. The injuries on his body had been stabilized after his own treatment, but his emotions are out of control now, causing the injuries to relapse again. There is no greater sorrow than a heartbroken one. If his emotions can't be controlled, no matter how much treatment is done, it will be useless."
"Then what should we do?" Marco asked anxiously.
The doctor said, "There's no other way. We can only stabilize his emotions first. His physical fitness is very bad. He engaged in high-intensity battles before fully recovering, and was injured one after another. His body is about to collapse, but these aren't the most serious. We need to stabilize his emotions first, and then we can do other treatments."
"Stabilize emotions, stabilize emotions, how do we stabilize them?"
Marco was like an ant on a hot pot. He knew that Akira was a very emotional person. Now, seeing Whitebeard die in battle with his own eyes, his emotions were out of control. He really didn't know what method to use to persuade him, so he could only look at the doctor for help. But unfortunately, the doctor wasn't familiar with Akira. He was the most familiar with Akira here.
"What to do? What to do? Pops told me to hand Akira over to you. I can't let Pops's expectations down. But what exactly should I do? Pops, tell me, tell me the answer."
Marco was also anxious to a certain extent, actually starting to ask the departed Whitebeard in his heart.
Whitebeard's death not only caused problems for Akira here. Problems also appeared for Thatch, Jozu, and Ace there. The three of them were originally leading people to resist Akainu. They had used all their strength to barely stop Akainu. But with Whitebeard's death, they were immediately distracted. The situation, which had been barely balanced, suddenly underwent earth-shattering changes.
Ace, who had been injured by Akainu before, was injured by Akainu again, being injured on top of his injuries. Although it wasn't to the point of being in danger of his life, he had also suffered serious injuries, his combat power sharply decreasing. Even Thatch was injured by Akainu seizing an opportunity. As for Jozu, not to mention him, he was originally injured, and was also feeling very bad now.
Now, they were completely relying on the other division commanders to resist Akainu. Thatch and the others were also relying on willpower to support themselves.
Akainu had also seen Whitebeard's death, so he had seized the opportunity, defeating the Whitebeard Pirates in one fell swoop. However, even so, he wouldn't be careless. Instead, he satirized, "Whitebeard has already died. Although he didn't die at the hands of us Navy soldiers, this is also the best ending for him as a pirate. As for you, the best choice is to die with him, instead of continuing to resist stubbornly here."
Hearing Akainu's words, many pirates glared angrily. Thatch, however, said very firmly, "We promised Pops that we would return to the New World safely. Then we must fulfill his last wish, and return to the New World safely."
"None of you will be able to return today. You will all die in Marineford!"
Akainu snorted coldly, and said, "Did you see? Whitebeard is dead, and that Death God brat is also about to die. Next is you. When you get to hell, let Whitebeard continue to lead you trash pirates to roam around."
With an angry roar, Akainu didn't show any mercy, going all out, heading towards the pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Fight to the death!"
Suddenly, Jozu shouted loudly, and then the others also had their expressions turn serious, shouting at the same time, "Fight to the death!"
Whitebeard's death had seriously stimulated everyone. But because of this, they were no longer afraid of anything. Whitebeard had died for them. They could also die for the comrades of the pirate crew. Dragging Akainu down could allow more people to leave Marineford. This was very worthwhile in their eyes.
"Whitebeard has died in battle!"
A shocking shout suddenly rang out on the live broadcast plaza on the Sabaody Archipelago. All the viewers revealed looks of horror and disbelief. Whitebeard had actually died, dying in battle right before their eyes. Although they hadn't seen it live, it still gave them a great shock.
Whitebeard, the head of the Yonko of the New World, the legendary pirate, the legendary pirate who stood side by side with the Pirate King Roger!
Such a great pirate had died in battle under the attention of the whole world. Although many people had guessed this possibility before, when they really saw Whitebeard die in battle, they were still somewhat unable to believe it, having a feeling of unreality.
After the exclamation, the sound on the Sabaody Archipelago quickly decreased. Everyone's gazes were looking at Whitebeard's figure, which had died but was still standing proudly, their eyes all revealing complex looks.
As pirates, most people couldn't wait for Whitebeard to die. However, when they had really watched the entire war, they couldn't help but be infected by Whitebeard's actions. The Whitebeard, who had done all kinds of evil in their eyes before, didn't seem as bad as they had imagined.
At the very least, they had seen many things in the live broadcast, the kinship between the Whitebeard Pirates, Whitebeard's care and tolerance for his sons, and the magnanimity to forgive even when betrayed. Many, many things made Whitebeard seem like he wasn't a real bad guy, but instead made people feel admiration.
With such a great pirate dying, perhaps there were many people who were happy in their hearts, but more people were silent, not knowing whether they should be happy, or be sad for Whitebeard's death in battle.
Through the live broadcast of the entire war, what many people saw was the loyalty of the Whitebeard Pirates, and the Navy Headquarters framing and planting evidence in order to achieve its goals, and also the premature execution. Under the comparison of the two, a kind of absurd illusion had been produced in many people's hearts. Had this been switched around?
"Whitebeard, may you rest in peace!"
Seeing Whitebeard die in battle, Rayleigh on the viewing platform raised the wine pot in his hand, and toasted Whitebeard on the big screen from afar, and then drank the wine with a melancholy expression.
Shakky was also silently smoking, looking with complex eyes. She and Whitebeard were also old acquaintances. Because of Akira's relationship, the two sides also had some cooperation. Now that Whitebeard had died, she was also very sad in her heart.
"With Whitebeard's death, there are really fewer and fewer old friends on the sea." Rayleigh sighed faintly.
Shakky also sighed, "Perhaps from the moment Whitebeard led people to Navy Headquarters, he had already realized that it would be difficult for him to return this time."
Rayleigh said, "But he still went. This is also what I admire about Whitebeard. Just like Roger back then, everyone was desperately trying to live, but they would rather die heroically, being much stronger than us."
In Rayleigh's eyes, Whitebeard's actions were very similar to Roger's actions of turning himself in back then. Knowing that he would face death, he still steadfastly did what he thought in his heart. This kind of behavior was naturally worthy of others' admiration.
