Chapter 179: 179 There is no Golden Lion anymore
The war has ended.
The Whitebeard Pirates, surrounded by both the pirate alliance and the Marines, managed to retreat without any harm.
Unlike the Festival Island battle, this one isn't being shown live on broadcast snail.
However, many people have come to watch.
When they saw the Whitebeard Pirates leaving Onigashima Island, they knew right away that Whitebeard had won the war.
"This is amazing!"
"Yeah, the Whitebeard Pirates can still win even when surrounded by four groups."
"From now on, Whitebeard will become the true king of the world!"
People from all parties were completely astonished.
After leaving Onigashima Island, the Whitebeard Pirates didn't leave, but they stayed in Wano.
In the end, the Whitebeard Pirates are the winners of this war.
So there is no need to escape at all.
If Kaido and the others still want to fight, the Whitebeard Pirates are ready to face them anytime.
In this manner, the Whitebeard Pirates confidently arrived in Wano, prepared to fulfill Oden's final wish before departing.
Confronting the Whitebeard Pirates, who have achieved a major victory.
Wano's forces couldn't halt them in the least.
In only half a day, Orochi and Kaido's power was completely taken away.
Even though Kaido managed to escape Onigashima Island, he didn't dare to intervene.
Orochi couldn't defend himself, and Kaido's pirates took significant losses. They couldn't dare to challenge Whitebeard any longer, so they had to retreat with what's left.
Yet, the Golden Lion, who was part of the pirate alliance before, was found Whitebeard on the Moby Dick.
"Newgate, my dream of ruling the world is completely shattered!"
The Golden Lion, who had broken his arm and had lost all his forces, sat on the ship's deck.
This time, he's not an enemy anymore, but as a friend.
This might sound weird.
After all, they were fighting fiercely on the war, and their lives were still on the line as enemies trying to kill each other
But for this sort of matter, everyone let it go. Whitebeard and Roger were no exception; they shared a drink after their battle.
"Guurarara~"
"You old fellow, let's give up that ridiculous dream, This sea isn't yours anymore."
Whitebeard smiled calmly.
He grabbed a wine jar and tossed it to the Golden Lion.
"Is that so?"
The Golden Lion seized the wine jar and poured it vigorously, his expression shifting constantly.
There's reluctance, anger, and relief,
but above all, a profound sense of loneliness.
He's a man from a past era.
In that time, the power he wielded surpassed even Roger and Whitebeard.
However, Roger became the Pirate King, and Whitebeard became the King of the World.
He alone ended up in this condition.
"I never imagined that's me, Golden Lion's lifelong journey across the seas would end like this in the end!"
The Golden Lion was pouring wine in a frenzy, and his eyes slowly turned red.
After drinking a full bottle of wine, he put it down, then stood up, turned and left without saying a word.
"Shiki, if you don't mind, you can stay on my ship. My old ship can at least carry you a certain distance!"
Whitebeard calmly placed the jar down and said.
The Golden Lion halted, turned his head slightly, and burst into laughter. "Jieehahaha, Newgate, are you trying to recruit me, old man?"
"In that case, don't bother."
"Because I am the Golden Lion!!!"
After saying this, he rose into the air and gradually vanished into the sky.
"Golden Lion!"
Whitebeard got to his feet, went to the front of the ship, and personally watched his old friend depart.
Knowing that from now on, there would be no more Golden Lion in this world.
"Oyaji..."
The crew didn't dare to disturb him as they witnessed this.
They understood that their Oyaji had lost a dear friend who could share jokes without reservation.
After some time, Whitebeard regained his composure and walked down.
During this moment, Marco also came forward to give a report.
"Oyaji, the Beasts Pirates and Marines have left Wano, and the Golden Lion Flying Pirates have disbanded. However, the Big Mom Pirates' crew wants to join us"
Marco reported.
"Guurarara~"
"Since they're Katakuri's siblings, let them come aboard!"
Whitebeard accepted without hesitation.
"Oyaji."
Katakuri was touched by this gesture.
"No need to say more. Once you step on my ship, you're family from here on"
Whitebeard interrupted and then gazed at the other crew, saying: "Boys, the war is over, and the party is over!"
"Alright!"
The captains cheered when they heard this.
The outcome of the Battle of Onigashima Island spread across the world like a storm.
On this day, the world trembled.
Whitebeard's crusade against the pirates alliance forces is well known throughout the world.
However, most people aren't optimistic about the Whitebeard Pirates.
In the end, the Whitebeard Pirates were up against the three emperors level pirates. No matter how people look at it, people believed Whitebeard was destined to lose in their minds.
However, in this scenario, Whitebeard emerged victorious.
This not only surprised people but also reminded them of the power of Whitebeard.
"The Three Emperors level pirates were defeated and the Big Mom Pirates fell apart. It seems that Whitebeard is going to rule the entire New World."
"From now on, the New World has just one emperor, and that's Whitebeard!"
"Don't celebrate too soon. The World Government won't stand by and let the Whitebeard Pirates rule the world"
"What can the World Government do anyway?"
"Yeah, didn't you hear that in the Battle of Onigashima Island, the Marines even join forces with the pirates alliance, wanted to destroy Whitebeard pirates, but they were defeated by the Whitebeard Pirates!"
"The World Government is just not trustworthy!"
People all over the world are discussing this.
At the same time, trust in the World Government and the Marines has eroded even more.
Of course, there are still people in the world who have faith in the World Government. They wonder if the World Government will make a move to restrain Whitebeard's growth.
But this trust didn't endure for long, as another significant piece of news arrived.
That is, the Revolutionary Army launched an attack on the Holy Land Mariejois.
While the World Government emerged victorious and inflicted serious damage on the Revolutionary Army's leader, Dragon, they also suffered significant losses themselves.
For the World Government
Any battle that isn't a major victory is considered a defeat!
So, when the news broke, the world shook once more, and countless people saw the World Government's vulnerability.
The prestige of the World Government and the Marines.
Also, due to these two battles,
It crumbled rapidly!
