Chapter 306: The Whitebeard Pirates’ Struggle
"Squard has already left," said Curiel, the 10th division commander, in a low voice.
"We couldn’t stop him. He said he couldn’t face us anymore. He wants to use the rest of his life to protect the dignity of the Whitebeard Pirates," added Kingdew, the 11th division commander, with a helpless look.
"Marco, is Ace still the same?" Blamenco, the 6th division commander, turned to Marco and asked quietly.
Marco gave a small nod. "Yeah."
Blamenco frowned and said heavily, "Just like Squard, Ace is blaming himself for Pops’ death."
Marco let out a sigh. "Yeah. Ever since we buried Pops, he’s been sitting in front of the grave this whole time. I’m really worried about his health..."
He looked visibly frustrated.
"Sigh..." Blamenco sighed too. "I hope he can pull himself together soon. We really need him right now..."
At that moment, Rakuyo, the 7th division commander, walked over and spoke in a serious tone, "Let’s talk about the situation first."
He looked around with a grim face. "Things aren’t looking good for the Whitebeard Pirates. Since Pops died, both the Marines and other pirates have been eyeing our territory like it’s a big piece of meat."
"Several islands have already been taken over by other pirate crews."
