Chapter 373 Sadness belongs only to the weak
"I will never thank you for your kindness!"
Marco looked solemn: "If you have anything to help in the future, just shout, we will definitely arrive!"
Ace, Joz and others also nodded sincerely.
No matter what Rhodes' trip was for, but from the result, it was to save their Whitebeard Pirates.
Most of the people who are still in the Whitebeard Pirates have extremely high regard for feelings and loyalty, so of course they will not ignore them.
"Nothing, Blackbeard is my enemy."
Rhode smiled slightly, looked at Herbert on the side, and directly asked for it:
"You are Herbert, how about you? Are you interested in coming to Dressrosa?"
With his current status and strength, there is no need to beat around the bush to recruit people.
Herbert was also very proud of his face. He was already impressed by the shocking strength Rhodes had shown before. After hearing Rhodes' recruitment, he almost had no hesitation and said bluntly:
"I do."
He is three meters tall, burly, and has a bulging muscles all over his body, like a hill, and looks more white-bearded than Whitebeard II.
"very good."
Rhode was very satisfied and nodded gently.
Seeing this, Ace and others sighed in their hearts.
Herbert is a talented person, powerful and has the power of shock, and can be said to be strategic.
But at this time, the Whitebeard Pirates no longer had the capital to recruit him.
On the one hand, the Whitebeard Pirates' strength has shrunk significantly.
On the other hand, if Herbert is left behind, the Blackbeard Pirates will definitely not give up. With the current strength of the Whitebeard Pirates, Herbert may not be able to be protected.
This has to be said to be a sad story.
Next, the Whitebeard Pirates began to clean the battlefield and restrain their bodies.
For the Whitebeard Pirates, although this battle was successfully protected by the Whitebeard's last face and did not allow Dic to succeed, he also suffered heavy losses.
Many people's eyes were filled with tears and sobbed in a low voice.
To them, every dead member is a brother and a family.
Ace and Marco were also very uncomfortable.
In this battle, not only two captains died in battle, but the other two were also severely damaged.
One broke his hand, the other was even more miserable, his eyes were blind, and he almost lost the ability to continue sailing.
For these old pirates, being unable to navigate is almost like losing the meaning of life.
Looking at the somewhat incomplete body that was carried over, Ace suddenly felt a little confused and guilty.
My father had high hopes for himself and led his brothers to the Navy headquarters and pulled him out of hell.
But now, not to mention the growing strength of the Whitebeard Pirates, he can't even maintain it.
Ace looked at Rhodes in confusion, a contemporary person who was obviously the same age as the same person, but was already in power in the new world.
“Sadness belongs to the weak.”
Recognizing Ace's gaze, Rhode held his hands and said lightly:
"If you want all this to happen again, try to become stronger.
Although the Whitebeard Pirates were powerful, it was also a kind of constraint for you.
Because the white beard is too strong, you cannot detect your own weakness and do not have much motivation to become stronger.
You, Marco, Diamond Joz, and Font Bista, are actually not in the ignition time.
Whether it is Yu Zhiliu or Yan Shenjin, the head of the three disasters of the Hundred Beasts Pirates, they are all peak-level powerhouses, but you, the Whitebeard Pirates, are useless except Whitebeard.
To put it bluntly, I can easily penetrate the Whitebeard Pirates who have lost their whitebeard."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.
Are they too weak?
Did they embarrass my father?
"Is our strength... too weak?"
Ace murmured, he clasped his fists and looked at the beating flames on it. He used to think that it was enough to cross the sea, but now it seems that it is too weak.
Not to mention the Blackbeard, the existence of the Dragon Sword Hero at the level.
Even if it is an existence of Yu Zhiliu at that level, he may not be an opponent, right?
"In this sea, without strength, all dreams and all hopes are empty talk." Rhodes said.
For Ace, this war is probably a chance.
Only Ace, who travels through the sea, constantly challenges strong enemies like Luffy, and strives for his dreams, can truly enter the top ranks.
Whitebeard's vision is not wrong. Ace's potential is definitely, he is just bound.
Rhode didn't mind giving Ace a tip.
He will face many enemies in the future. The other four emperors, navy, and world governments will only have more combat power than each one and more than each one.
The so-called two fists cannot beat four hands.
Before the combat power reaches the point of ignoring everything, the more allies at the peak level, the better.
Ace is one, Luffy is one, and Zoro is also one.
They don’t have to be taken over, and they can’t be subordinates with their personalities. They just need to work hard at critical moments.
Half an hour passed.
The Whitebeard Pirates finally cleaned the battlefield.
When everyone gathered together, they looked roughly, there were only a thousand people, and they were no longer as grand as when they were forcing the Navy headquarters in the past.
Rhode shook his head slightly, it was so miserable.
During this period, he was chased and beaten by the Blackbeard Pirates, lost his base and died one less. Now the Whitebeard Pirates is not as strong as their heyday.
What he said before was really not bragging.
"Ace..."
Marco looked at Ace, a little worried and a little expectant.
Everyone else looked at Ace too.
The captains actually know that Ace, who is domineering in a domineering manner, is the one chosen by his father.
“…”
Feeling these gazes, Ace, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly shook all over his body. He raised his head and showed a confident and infectious smile, saying:
"Titch is not dead yet, I can't be depressed. Rhodes is right. Sorrow only belongs to the weak. I will become stronger. I will definitely grab Titch with my own hands and go to my father's grave to confess my guilt."
As he said that, he looked at Marco again and said solemnly: "In the next period of time, Marco, you will take your brothers to recuperate first. I will take some people to explore the sea and fight on the sea. The name of Fire Fist seems to be a bit old!"
"Ace..."
Marco showed a hint of relief and said solemnly: "Don't worry, we will definitely wait for you to come back!"
At this time, Herbert also interrupted and said, "If you have anything, come to me and you must help."
Regardless of the cause, Ace and others could be considered his life-saving benefactor. If it weren't for the Whitebeard Pirates' help, he would have been killed by Blackbeard long ago.
"not bad."
Rhode nodded slightly in his heart.
Compared to being treacherous, he certainly values people who are grateful.
If Herbert hadn't expressed anything to the Whitebeard Pirates from beginning to end, he would have looked down on it.
"Haha, we won't be polite."
Diamond Joz hammered Herbert's arm, and the two big muscles rubbed them very friendly.
Marco smiled, took out a notebook and handed it to Herbert:
"This records some development directions and exercise methods of the earthquake fruits, which are my father's experience. I have recorded it. In addition, there are some methods to weaken the side effects of earthquake fruits. You can take them to see them, so don't lose the power of earthquake force!"
Marco is the captain of the first team of the Whitebeard Pirates. He is closest to Whitebeard and has a better understanding of the power of shock than Blackbeard.
"this……"
Herbert was stunned. Whitebeard's experience was the one who pushed the shock to the world's strongest throne!
Even with Herbert's mood that has been through the wind and rain for a long time, he can't help but fluctuate violently.
But the gift was too big, he was a little overwhelmed and couldn't help looking at Rhodes.
Rhode was also a little surprised. Marco was so generous, but he quickly understood that it was Marco's showing goodwill.
The weak Whitebeard Pirates now need a powerful foreign aid.
"Let's go next."
Rhode smiled and of course he hoped his subordinates would be stronger.
Herbert's breathing became heavy, and he stretched out his hands, and took the notebook piously and respectfully as if he had received the imperial edict.
He swore that even if he spent his whole life savings to exchange for this notebook, he would not hesitate at all.
Chapter completed!
