At least, asking the other party for advice is no longer a big problem.
“I would like to stay in this world and see if I can meet the legendary Vegapunk.” Tony Stark chuckled, but judging from his casual manner, he was clearly not too concerned about it.
After a quick assessment, Su Han realized that Madara Uchiha strongly wanted to return, while the other two were indifferent. He decided to simply go back.
Perfect timing! Su Han wanted some too, so he quickly went back to organize his spoils.
With a thought, Su Han entered the misty space. His figure disappeared.
Soon after, Zhang Sanfeng, Tony Stark, and the others also disappeared.
Whitebeard stroked his white beard, his mind racing, but before he could say anything, he sensed the call of the misty space. His expression changed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Marco, now that things have been taken care of, the rest is up to you."
"Dad! Don't worry." Although Marco was still unsettled, he was very reliable in this situation and immediately took full responsibility.
Whitebeard sat in the chair with his eyes closed.
Marco, on the other hand, transformed into a phoenix, flew off the Moby Dick, and landed in front of the numerous naval forces.
"A Devil Fruit user with the Mythical Zoan type Phoenix ability, how terrifying." Kizaru's tone was as irritating as ever.
However, no one paid him any attention. Sengoku stared at Marco with a serious expression, his voice deep and stern, "First Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, what brings you here?"
“Is it really necessary to be so tense?” Marco asked with a helpless smile. “Or are you now prepared to break with us and have a fight on the ruins of Mary Geoise?”
Sengoku fell silent. In truth, he had initially considered this idea. It wasn't about launching a sneak attack or ambushing anyone. Rather, it was about declaring war openly and honestly, based on the current state of affairs at sea.
The reason is quite simple: the collapse of the World Government would mean that the Navy's control over the world would be reduced to its lowest level ever.
At this point, if the Navy wants to maximize its reputation and deter pirates, there is only one way.
That means taking action against the true pinnacle of the pirate world. Even if you can't win, you have to show that you will never compromise with the pirates.
But now, this wishful thinking has completely collapsed.
Zhan Guo clenched his fists, his heart filled with helplessness and bitterness.
Edward Newgate is not only the strongest man in the world and one of the Four Emperors of the Sea... but also a true god standing behind him.
Even if Su Han, this divine incarnation, didn't make a move, Whitebeard, Madara Uchiha, and the other beings who were clearly not simple... they had absolutely no confidence in defeating them.

Chapter 47 The Possibility of the Misty Space Turning Illusory into Reality
"Are you scared...? Well, that was to be expected." Marco scratched his hair, his expression still nonchalant. "However, we do have a lot to discuss."
"For example... how to maintain the stability of the ocean to the greatest extent possible."
"Mere pirates." Akainu's expression was cold and murderous, but before he could say anything, Aokiji tugged at his sleeve.
Akainu paused for a moment, then snorted coldly, adopting a gesture of respect for Aokiji, and remained silent.
"You guys don't need to put on this kind of show for me, do you?" Marco stared blankly at the scene before him, speechless.
A wry smile appeared on Sengoku's face. He glanced at the two of them helplessly, sighed, and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."
Even if they don't want to continue their previous alliance with the pirates, in the current situation where they can't declare war on the Whitebeard Pirates... joining forces with the strongest Yonko crew can still help to contain the chaos on the seas.
Although doing so would have serious consequences, and might even give the Whitebeard Pirates authority equal to or even surpassing that of the Marine Headquarters... Sengoku didn't care.
After all, they are the navy, and maintaining order and protecting the safety of the people is what the navy should be doing most.
...
An ancient and mysterious palace.
A mysterious figure sat silently atop a bronze high-backed chair, as if it had always been so since time immemorial.
The illusion of the real world of One Piece that surrounded me slowly dissipated.
As the mist rose, the figures of Zhang Sanfeng, Tony Stark, Madara Uchiha, and even Whitebeard appeared one by one.
The Hall of Mist was silent; the group looked at each other in bewilderment.
Ying Zheng finally broke the silence, his words tinged with emotion and a barely perceptible hint of apprehension: "The evil god's kin... are truly dangerous."
"Mary Geoise in the One Piece world is the headquarters of the World Government and the holy land of the Celestial Dragons. I never expected that they would be wiped out so easily."
“Yes.” Huang Rong patted her chest, feeling a little shaken. “The Celestial Dragons are able to do whatever they want because of the Navy… but it’s definitely not just the Navy.”
It's a very simple principle: if the Navy is the only force in the hands of the World Government, then the World Government will definitely focus on winning them over, rather than resorting to brutal methods like in the original story, where they practically treat the Navy like a dog.
This only proves that the power held by the World Government surpasses that of the Navy.
Even so, this power was still silently and completely destroyed under the erosion of the evil god.
“I feel like you’ve misunderstood something,” Su Han suddenly said, his voice calm. “The reason the evil god corrupted Mary Geoise is mainly because Mary Geoise contains far too much tragedy and darkness.”
"As I've said before, darkness and tragedy, and fallen souls filled with negative emotions, are what the evil gods love most... The evil gods cast their gaze upon us because of darkness. As for strength? That's not important."
Whitebeard's expression hardened. Indeed, strength wasn't important...
In the previous battle, if the Chairman of the Council hadn't sent his subordinate, the God Incarnation, it wouldn't have been surprising if the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marine Headquarters had been wiped out in Mary Geoise under such a fierce and desperate situation.
After all, the Five Elders were no weaker than them. More importantly, they possessed immortality because of their worship of an evil god.
Is that so?
