The situation was gradually becoming one-sided.
The pirates were retreating step by step.
With faces full of sorrow and anger, Marco and the others could only helplessly watch Whitebeard’s body standing majestically on the other side of a gigantic crack, while many of their fellow pirates continued to be killed under the navy’s powerful firepower.
The navy, on the other hand, excitedly pursued.
"The navy! They won!"
Countless onlookers wore smiles.
Just at that mont—
A ball of golden light suddenly cascaded down from high above, imdiately drawing the attention of everyone present and countless viewers in front of their televisions.
At the sa ti, an overwhelming and mysterious pressure spread out, causing everyone’s heart to sink involuntarily, too afraid to speak.
For so reason, everyone subconsciously stopped their actions; the pirates forgot to flee, the navy forgot to pursue, and even the three admirals and Marshal Sangokku were left staring blankly at the ball of golden light in the sky like ordinary people.
The entire scene fell into silence.
"I felt a strong desire."
"So, I have co."
"From today, I will manifest the power of the Heavenly Dao Will as Dragon Balls, bestowing them upon the Mortal World. As long as soone gathers all seven Dragon Balls, they can summon the Divine Dragon Pikachu, thus having the opportunity to change the world, to change their life!"
As this voice emanated from no discernible source, the large ball of golden light in the sky coalesced slowly yet rapidly, then suddenly dissipated, replaced by seven Dragon Balls the size of fists, each glowing softly with a golden light as they gently floated downward.
The Dragon Balls thus drifted to the ground.
Everyone present could feel a mysterious wave entering their minds, as if those seven Dragon Balls were summoning them sohow.
Then, the ethereal voice rang out again.
"Co forth! Pikachu!"
As the words fell, the light from the seven Dragon Balls converged into a mass, shooting towards the sky, transforming into a divine dragon coiling in the void.
"State your wish, any wish I can grant, but limited to two."
Everyone watched blankly at all of this, seemingly too stunned to react.
The voice in the void continued:
"I want to resurrect Whitebeard."
Upon hearing this, people seed to barely pull themselves out of their shock.
Although they had never heard of the legend of the Dragon Balls, nor witnessed the miraculous effects of the Divine Dragon, the astonishing scenes just now, along with the almost all-encompassing Haki Divine Dragon in the sky, made them subconsciously feel that—
This wish might actually co true?
While everyone was still uncertain and bewildered, they heard the Divine Dragon speak with a sacred and majestic voice:
"This wish... is simple."
Imdiately, people instinctively looked towards that tall figure that remained standing firm even after death, as they saw that figure...
Suddenly, move.
"Hmm?"
"Haven’t I... died?"
Whitebeard hadn’t yet noticed the anomaly around him, only sensing his own body, which had fully regained its Life Force and stood there dumbfounded.
All his wounds had healed as if they’d never been there, leaving only the traces of blood, attesting to the severe injuries he’d suffered earlier.
He moved his steps, slowly turning around, taking in the environnt around him at a glance, also noticing everyone’s unusual expressions, and suddenly becoming aware of the anomaly in the sky.
"Hmm? What’s that?"
Then he looked up.
While Whitebeard was shocked by the Divine Dragon in the sky, everyone present and all viewers before their televisions were even more astounded by Whitebeard’s resurrection.
"Whitebeard... resurrected!"
"Are you kidding?"
"Can resurrection really be done?"
"The strongest man in the world... why resurrect this evil pirate?"
Only the mbers of the Whitebeard Pirates quickly ca back to their senses, ecstatic about Whitebeard’s resurrection, shouting excitedly one after another:
"Dad!"
"Dad!!"
"Dad lives on forever!"
Marshal Sangokku and his n watched Whitebeard’s figure with expressions turning grim, so still feeling residual fear at the strength Whitebeard had shown earlier.
"Damn it! We paid such a huge price, finally managed to kill Whitebeard, why could he be resurrected?"
"Who did this? Who exactly is that mysterious voice? Why do this?"
"Right, the Divine Dragon? The one in the sky was called Pikachu, right? That voice and the dragon both said it could grant any wish, and all of this, it’s real!"
Ambitious people like Blackbeard were the first to feel greed.
"Even bringing the dead back to life is possible, what isn’t? Maybe it can make the strongest in the world? Grant immortality?"
"Just now Pikachu said it could grant any wish, and there are... two!"
With that thought, Blackbeard’s eyes widened, his greed swelling to extres, his heart racing uncontrollably; then he shouted loudly toward the sky:
"Divine Dragon, I want immortality!"
His words resonated crystal clear on the scene, which had begun to turn noisy again, making Whitebeard and the others co to, both shocked and furious.
"Damn! It’s Blackbeard!"
"That bastard! Could his wish... really co true?"
The scene turned quiet once again.
All eyes were on the Divine Dragon in the sky, their gazes filled with both anticipation and anxiety.
