Luo ke smiled and said, "Don't underestimate this small vial of medicine. It can extend your lifespan by fifty years and eliminate any hidden injuries.
In simple terms, if you're currently seventy-two years old, it can return your body to the state it was in when you were twenty-two, with a healthy body free of any hidden injuries. Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll be exactly twenty-two years old, but it means you'll regain the peak physical condition of your youth, allowing you to live another fifty years."
As Luo ke spoke, the entire audience was shocked.
A potion that could extend life by fifty years? The elixir of life?!!!
How could such a miraculous thing exist in this world?
Life, aging, sickness, and death are the destiny of humans.
No matter how strong or wealthy a person may be, their lifespan is limited. Even Whitebeard, known as the World's Strongest Man, has already reached the age of 72.
His body is no longer what it used to be, requiring daily intravenous drips to maintain his health and treat injuries.
Although the members of the Whitebeard Pirates have done their utmost to find ways to heal and take care of their captain, they can only watch as he ages step by step.
They are well aware that the reason the Whitebeard Pirates are the Whitebeard Pirates is because they have Whitebeard.
With Whitebeard, they are part of the Four Emperors. But without Whitebeard, they would be like a tree without roots, a ship without water, without their pillar of support.
They would no longer be able to hold onto the power and influence of the Whitebeard Pirates and would be devoured by the other Emperors.
In the end, they might end up falling apart, barely clinging to survival.
After watching the fragments of the Battle of Marineford, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates had this idea brewing in their minds.
The Whitebeard Pirates are finished.
Ace is dead, and even Whitebeard himself may die. Many members of the Whitebeard Pirates have perished as well. Even if the remaining few manage to escape, what can they really do?
They are faced with the Four Emperors: Big Mom, Kaido, and Shanks. Almost every faction has the power to take a bite out of them.
And now, as orphans, they are powerless.
This is the harsh reality of the pirate world—survival of the fittest.
So when they saw their captain being targeted, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates didn't panic. That was impossible.
They were all thinking, if their old man were ten years younger, Admiral Akainu wouldn't dare to be so arrogant in front of him. He would be crushed.
That's why when Luo ke threw a vial of the life-prolonging potion to their captain, saying it could extend his lifespan by fifty years, restore his youthful body, and heal his hidden injuries, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates became excited.
Wasn't this the thing they had been dreaming of?
As long as their captain was alive, they feared nothing. They would even dare to challenge Marine Headquarters!
In contrast to the excitement of the Whitebeard Pirates, the naval admirals at Marine Headquarters had an instant change of expression.
Nothing could be worse than this.
A life-prolonging potion that could extend life by fifty years!
And Whitebeard had obtained it!
This could be considered the worst among the many disastrous events happening today in the world.
Whitebeard was known as the world's strongest man, and that statement was not a joke. His Gura Gura no Mi power could truly bring about the destruction of the world. With just Whitebeard alone, he could easily lay waste to Marine Headquarters.
This is not an exaggeration; it's a fact.
The reason why the Marines aren't too worried or afraid of Whitebeard is mainly because he is already old and his body can't handle much anymore.
Otherwise, the cost of engaging in a war with a man like him would be unbearable for the Marines.
That's also why during the Marineford War, the Marines chose to target Whitebeard instead of Kaido, Big Mom, or Shanks. On one hand, they had Ace as a hostage, and on the other hand, Whitebeard was already in his twilight years, making him relatively easier to deal with compared to the other Four Emperors.
It was a perfect opportunity to showcase the might of the Marines.
However, now there's trouble. Whitebeard has obtained the life-prolonging potion that can extend his lifespan by fifty years. This means that even if Whitebeard can only live up to 72, he will still have another fifty years to live.
Meanwhile, Sengoku and Karp, who are around the same age as Whitebeard, along with the other Marines, will have died decades ago while Whitebeard continues to live.
A powerful Yonko is already a significant threat to the Marines, but a powerful Yonko who lives for a long time is an enormous threat.
Not to mention that just now, Whitebeard has formed an irreconcilable enmity with them.
Sengoku couldn't help but think, "This is bad!"
The faces of all the Marines turned serious. This news was already extremely bad for them.
"Is it really possible for there to be a life-prolonging potion like this?" Aokiji scratched his chin and asked.
It was truly inconceivable. Something that could extend one's lifespan was already a rarity in the world, let alone extend it by fifty years.
Such a thing would probably be worth trillions and would cause a frenzy in the market.
Yet here it was, given to them just because they answered a few questions correctly. Could this be possible?
It seemed too unbelievable.
