One Piece: Dark Sky.

"Are you dying? Roger..."

It was an island in a new world, and the island was covered with beautiful cherry blossom trees, but under the cherry blossom trees, there were two men drinking together, two men standing at the top of the world...

It was Whitebeard who said this sentence. At that time, Whitebeard was not as old as he is now, and his body was strong. The two pirates who had a competitive relationship became friends who talked about everything after years of fighting.

But upon hearing what the white beard said, Gol D Roger drank a glass of wine in a naive manner, his face was reddish after drinking, but he showed a smile.

"Well, life is not long!"

There must not be many people who can face their own death so responsibly, and it just so happens that Roger is one of them. There is no panic or tension on his face, just as before, drinking with the old friend sitting in front of him as usual.

"I'll tell you how to pull Lulaf, Whitebeard!"

With the help of Jiu Jin and the beauty of the beautiful falling cherry blossoms, Roger suddenly became interested, and said to White Beard with a smile.

But White Beard showed a lack of interest, pouted at Roger, drank the wine in his hand, and said indifferently.

"Even if I find out, I won't go back, because I'm not interested..."

When he heard what White Beard said, Roger burst out laughing, pointed at White Beard with a finger and laughed.

"Hahahaha, Whitebeard, you are such an interesting person!"

As he said that, he drank another glass of wine in his hand, picked up the flagon next to him that became empty again, and took a flagon full of wine from White Beard's side without any notice, and filled the glass in his hand again.

Then he said with a smile.

"Do you know what people from the world government called me recently?"

"Gold Roger! No! Call me Gold D Roger!"

Roger was a little drunk, but when he made a slip of the tongue, he laughed and patted the ground to correct him, but upon hearing Roger's words, Whitebeard raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Roger with some doubts and said.

"Every now and then I see someone with a 'D' in their name...I also have a guy named Teach on my team, what the hell is a 'D'?"

But when he heard Whitebeard's question, his face, which was a little drunk before, suddenly became serious. Although his face was still reddish after being drunk, he said very seriously.

"Oh, want to know? Well, then I'll tell you..."

"...that was a long time ago..."

"click click..."

Already in a frenzy, Tiqi, who was sitting on the ground in a panic, was still pulling the trigger in front of the white beard who was still standing in front of him, but there were empty voices.

"Captain, there is no bullet."

Oga, who had already put away the gun in his hand, gave Tiqi a friendly reminder, and it was only then that Tiqi noticed the pistol in his hand that had been out of bullets for a long time, and said with some insatiable meaning.

"...Well, the bullets are all fired..."

As he said that, Tiqi casually threw the pistol with no bullets aside, and slowly stood up.

But at this time, the white beard who had kept his eyes tightly closed before slowly opened them...

"Huh...huh..."

At this time, White Beard can be said to have come to the end of his life, and what is still supporting his body to stay in this world, perhaps only faith is left, his body is covered with bullet holes and traces left by gunfire, and countless wounds that look hideous and terrifying are printed on his body, and blood is gurgling...

"It's not you..."

White Beard's expression was surprisingly calm at this time, looking at the ambitious man in front of him, he said in a deep voice.

But when he heard what Whitebeard said, Tiqi was really taken aback, and almost sat down on the ground again, and said in a panic.

"...Is he still alive?"

"!"

But White Beard didn't seem to hear Black Beard's scream at all, and still spoke in a weak but firm tone.

"The man Roger was waiting for...at least not you, Teach..."

"what?"

However, Tiqi was confused by White Beard's rambling words, but White Beard didn't care at all, and still said in a calm voice.

"Just like someone inheriting Roger's will, even though there is no blood relationship, their fire of life will not disappear..."

"Since ancient times, it has been like this, passed down from generation to generation... Then one day in the future, a person who has carried the history of the past hundreds of years will challenge the world..."

"Warring States... your world government will panic for this huge war that will come one day... sweeping the whole world!"

"Although I'm not interested...but when that treasure is discovered...the world will be turned upside down..."

And when Whitebeard said this, Sengoku, who had been watching the dying Whitebeard, suddenly became serious, and a strong bad premonition that had appeared once hit his heart again!

But White Beard still said lightly.

"It will definitely be discovered, and that day will surely come..."

As he said that, Whitebeard stopped, and took a deep breath with the weak strength left in his huge body...

"The 'Big Secret Treasure' is real!"

Whitebeard suddenly roared loudly, and the huge voice was transmitted to the Chambord Islands and the whole world through the video phone bug in the hands of Bucky's escaped prisoners!
"asshole!"

The ominous premonition that appeared in his heart before the Warring States Period was once again verified. After hearing the last words that Whitebeard's body could say, he was extremely angry and roared loudly!
At this time, the whole world was shocked by Whitebeard's last words. The last words of the "One Piece" Gol D Roger, who was executed in Rogue Town before, triggered a new era, and the most noteworthy battle in this era, the last words of the dead Whitebeard will make this not peaceful era even more turbulent!
But at this time, the white beard had no strength to say anything, he slowly closed his eyes and said in his heart.

"Barne, I did what I wanted to do the most, and I said what I wanted to say the most. Perhaps, as you said, I left my mark in this world... I have no complaints or regrets in my life!"

"...Forgive me, sons...Leaving a bastard with troubles behind...My life is over."

"You have given me everything! Family... Thank you... Farewell, sons..."

Saying these last words in my heart, the man who once stood at the top of the world, known as the strongest monster, a living legend, the great pirate, 'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate finally has no more sound...

But those pirates who stood and watched their father die in front of them all knelt on the ground, letting tears run down the wrinkles and scars on their faces, feeling like a child in pain, a child who lost his father...

"Dad!"

"Wow ah ah ah ah!"

"Daddy!"

At this time, Lei Li also took out the delicate jug from his coat pocket, took a sip of it, and looked at the back of the dead white beard, but his eyes became moist.

"Are you leaving? Whitebeard..."

Bahn also turned away from that wrinkled face, not daring to look at his old friend who had died, but hugged Hancock in his arms tightly.

"Bane..."

Hancock looked at Bane who suddenly hugged him and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just felt the purple cheongsam on his shoulders being slowly soaked...

And those Blackbeard pirates who surrounded Whitebeard and stood by his side looked at the silent Whitebeard, but their faces were full of disbelief.

"……Um?"

"what……"

"Dead... dead... just stand there!"

Whitebeard is dead!
Although his life has passed away, his body still stands proudly... His majestic posture of slashing and killing the enemy can be called a "monster". In this battle, apart from the scars repaired by Bahn before, he suffered 327 knife wounds... 252 bullets... 56 shells... Even so, there are no "scars of escape" on his body!
In an instant, the big news spread all over the world: the Whitebeard Pirates successfully rescued Roger's son Ace, but the captain Whitebeard died in this battle!

People who witnessed this far-reaching and historic event... now, they are just dumbfounded.

At the age of 72, the man who once fought for the title of One Piece on this ocean...the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, the great pirate, Edward Newgate, the man commonly known as Whitebeard, was in the battle on top of the Whitebeard's Pirate Fleet VS Navy Headquarters, the Shichibukai United Army that broke out on the coast of Marie Georah Bay...

death!
