One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 274 Whitebeard's Resurrection

Rorschach began his search on the Sphinx Island.

Rorschach's palm continuously emitted a grayish-white light, a sight that left Marco somewhat bewildered, but he didn't ask any further questions.

Ace and Marco sat to one side, and Marco asked curiously, "What exactly is Ace looking for?"

"And also, were you really resurrected?"

Ace grinned. "That's right, it was Rorschach who resurrected me, and now I'm his subordinate, no longer a pirate."

"As for what he's looking for now, to be honest, I don't know either."

Meanwhile, Rorschach wandered through the island's villages, attracting the attention of the villagers.

After an unknown amount of time, Rorschach finally heard a familiar voice.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for collecting 2x Soul Power]

Upon seeing this, Luo Xia's face darkened, and he cursed inwardly, "Damn it, it really is here."

"Old man, once I resurrect you, you're finished!"

As time passed, Luo Xia finally collected all the soul power.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully collected Whitebeard's soul power. Would you like to synthesize it?]

"synthesis!"

The next second, the grayish ball in Luo Xia's hand suddenly burst into a bright light.

Then, a tall figure gradually emerged from the light; it was Whitebeard's soul form.

"What... what's going on?" Marco and Ace were speechless with astonishment.

The white-bearded soul looked around in confusion: "Where am I...?"

Luo Xia raised an eyebrow: "Old man, do you know who I am?"

Whitebeard looked at Rorschach, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "Kid, was this your doing?"

"That's right. If it weren't for my desire to resurrect you, would I have bothered going to so many places just to collect your soul?"

Whitebeard frowned: "Resurrect? It's not that easy."

"It's that easy for me."

Rorschach pointed to the bewildered Ace beside him, "Old man, look who that kid is."

Whitebeard looked in the direction Rorschach was pointing, and when he saw Ace, his eyes lit up with surprise: "Ace!"

Ace excitedly ran forward: "Dad!"

Whitebeard stared at Ace, his face filled with disbelief: "You kid aren't...?"

Ace said with a smile, "It was Boss Rorschach who resurrected me."

Whitebeard turned to look at Rorschach, his gaze complex: "Kid, why did you do this?"

Luo Xia crossed his arms: "To be honest, I don't know either."

"However, if I want to revive you, you must join my G5 branch the moment you are revived, not the Navy, but G5."

"You must intervene when I am about to take action against the World Government!"

"Of course you can refuse, but when I'm resurrected, I'll kill you again, you old bastard."

"Believe me, I have the ability now!"

"Enough with the nonsense, make your choice!" Luo Xia said, hands on his hips.

Whitebeard pondered for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter: "Hahaha, kid, since you have such guts, I, Edward Newgate, agree!"

Rorschach's lips curled into a smile: "Alright, then let's prepare for the resurrection!"

Luo Xia plopped down on the ground, with a bottle of emerald green liquid in front of him, which was naturally the life potion mentioned by the system.

Although Rorschach knew that this thing could resurrect the dead, could it also resurrect a person without a body?

Luo Xia's consciousness sank into the system. "System, what do I do?"

[Ding! Simply open the Life Potion and pour it onto the soul.]

Upon hearing this, Rorschach unhesitatingly opened the bottle of the life potion and splashed the emerald green liquid toward Whitebeard's soul.

The moment the liquid touched the soul, it shone brightly, so bright that everyone could not open their eyes.

As the light gradually faded, a living white-bearded figure appeared before everyone.

Whitebeard stretched his body, feeling the life he had regained, and laughed loudly, "Haha, this feeling is truly wonderful!"

Seeing the white-bearded man's unworldly appearance, Luo Xia couldn't help but sneer, "Old man, look at you, so pathetic."

"It's just a resurrection!"

Whitebeard glared at Rorschach: "Kid, what do you know? This feeling of being resurrected is something that ordinary people can't understand."

"Hmph, old man, who are you calling 'kid'? You should be calling me... never mind, call me whatever you want!"

"You look very old, so please don't call me old."

Whitebeard laughed heartily: "You little rascal, you still have such a sharp tongue."

At this moment, Marco, who was standing to the side, was so excited that his body trembled when he saw Whitebeard standing alive in front of him.

He swallowed hard, and the next second he bowed deeply to Luo Xia.

Rorschach was taken aback by Marco's sudden action and frowned, asking, "Big Bird, what are you doing?"

Marco straightened up and said sincerely, "Azure Dragon, thank you for bringing my father back to life. Please forgive me for any offense I may have caused you before. From now on, I, Marco, am willing to follow you."

Luo Xia's lips curled up: "Hey, I thought it was something serious. You're smart to be sensible."

Whitebeard looked at Marco and said with satisfaction, "Marco, in that case, let's follow this kid and do something big together!"

The three nodded in unison, their eyes filled with determination.

Rorschach waved his hand, "Stop putting on this act in front of me. Besides, reviving Whitebeard isn't enough. I'm here to revive a second person."

Everyone was startled upon hearing this, and the white-bearded man was the first to ask, "Boy, who else is there?"

Luo Xia's gaze was deep as he slowly said, "An old guy, about the same as you, old man, both are very strong."

"The former Pirate King was very strong and very interesting, so I want to revive him."

Whitebeard narrowed his eyes: "Are you talking about Roger?"

Rorschach nodded: "That's right, it's him."

Marco looked shocked: "That's the Pirate King! Reviving him won't be that easy."

Ace added, "Besides, that guy has been dead for many years, so his soul power is probably even more difficult to collect."

Luo Xia crossed his arms: "It's okay, I want to try. If I can revive him, I'll have another bodyguard."

"Hahahaha!"

The white-bearded man frowned: "Do you have any clues?"

Rorschach pondered for a moment: "It's very simple. Soul power is usually found in the place where someone dies. There might be clues to his soul power in Rogue Town or on the island where he was born."
