Of the three major Yonko crews, excluding the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates, the Red-Haired Pirates are even more formidable. If it weren't for Shanks' intervention during the Marineford War, they would have suffered even greater casualties if they hadn't escaped the Navy's pursuit.

Marco would have to be insane to target the Red-Haired Pirates, and aside from the Four Emperors' crews, finding another significant target wouldn't be easy.

Suddenly, Marco's eyes lit up as he thought of an excellent target: Blackbeard Teach, the culprit who caused the Marineford War, and who also desecrated Whitebeard's body and stole the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Thinking of Blackbeard Teach, Marco gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, what do you all think about targeting Teach?"

As Marco finished speaking, there was a brief silence, followed by a chorus of curses directed at Teach.

The reason why the Whitebeard Pirates have fallen to their current state is all because of Teach. If he hadn't killed Thatch and betrayed the Whitebeard Pirates for the Dark-Dark Fruit, Ace wouldn't have pursued him out of guilt, and he wouldn't have been captured by Teach and handed over to the Marines, thus triggering the earth-shattering war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines.

Compared to the Beasts Pirates or the Big Mom Pirates, the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates harbored a far greater hatred for Blackbeard than anyone else. If they hadn't been preoccupied with dealing with the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates, they probably would have sought revenge on Blackbeard immediately after the Marineford War.

Once everyone reached an agreement, they immediately sent people to gather information about Blackbeard. Once they found Blackbeard's whereabouts, the entire Whitebeard crew would go after him to take revenge.

Not long after the order was given, a Whitebeard Pirates intelligence officer walked in with a piece of intelligence and handed it to Marco.

"The Flame-Flame Fruit has been obtained by the Donquixote Family." Upon seeing the contents of the letter, Marco's face immediately darkened. Besides the grief caused by his father's death during the Marineford War, Ace's death also deeply saddened them. Marco, in particular, had always considered Ace a brother, and his sorrow over his passing was so profound that it brought tears to the eyes of all who heard of it.

Marco also has a special affection for the Flame-Flame Fruit, which accompanied Ace to fame. Whenever he sees the Flame-Flame Fruit, he thinks of Ace. If possible, Marco would naturally like to take the Flame-Flame Fruit back. In addition to his affection for Ace, the Flame-Flame Fruit can also add a Shichibukai-level captain to the Whitebeard Pirates, which is something the Whitebeard Pirates desperately need.

However, Marco pondered for a moment and shook his head, abandoning the plan to seize the Flame-Flame Fruit. After all, they had just decided to deal with Blackbeard first, and if they changed their stance now, it would be suspected of being a change of heart.

Moreover, as a veteran Shichibukai, Doflamingo's forces are not to be underestimated. The key is the special relationship between the Shichibukai and the Navy. If Doflamingo is targeted, there is a possibility of clashing with the Navy again. Given the current situation of the Whitebeard Pirates, if they were to clash with the Navy again, they would only face certain death.

Before Marco could voice his thoughts, another intelligence officer came in to report, "Captain Marco, we've just received information that Blackbeard is only with Van Augur as an officer and is currently on his way to Dressrosa."

"What a coincidence?" Marco exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing this, the other captains curiously inquired further. Marco casually handed over information about the Flame-Flame Fruit and explained it to everyone.

“Captain Marco, it seems that Ace’s will is guiding us to Dressrosa to avenge him. Otherwise, it would be impossible that the Flame-Flame Fruit just appeared in Doflamingo’s hands and Blackbeard was heading there at the same time.” Vista said with a sad look in his eyes.

“Captain Marco, Blackbeard is also in Dressrosa, so let’s get things done together,” Jozu said eagerly.

Upon hearing this, Marco saw the determined expressions on everyone's faces and immediately gritted his teeth, saying, "Abandon all the territory, gather all the troops, and come with me to the Kingdom of Dressrosa to avenge Dad and Ace."

Soon, the Whitebeard Pirates stopped trying to defend their original territory, and all their forces began to gather near Dressrosa, totaling about 20,000 people, who headed towards Dressrosa with great momentum.

The unusual movements of the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates quickly attracted the attention of all parties. After receiving the news, Chief of Staff Tsuru nodded in satisfaction and muttered to himself, "Doflamingo, I'd like to see how you deal with this."

Meanwhile, in a restaurant in a small town, Whitebeard II was feasting on a delicious meal. He was like a bottomless glutton, with plates piled up to a height of more than a person around him, drawing gasps of amazement from everyone in the restaurant.

Just then, Bagginstothy walked in from outside the restaurant. Upon seeing Weevil, he said, "Son, stop eating. Our chance is coming."

"What's wrong with Mom?" Weeber asked blankly, putting down his plate.

"A battle is about to break out. Whitebeard's sons are going to clash with Blackbeard. Once they are defeated, Whitebeard's territory will be inherited by you, Whitebeard's own son. Then the secret of the One Piece will be mine." A hint of excitement appeared in Bakkin's eyes, but she quickly realized that she had let something slip. She immediately looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she found no one else.

Whitebeard Newgate, as a member of the Rocks Pirates, was always one of Rocks' top fighters and was relied upon as his right-hand man.

At that time, there was no such thing as One Piece in the pirate world. Rocks, the strongest sea lord at the time, had already conquered the seas. He must have been to the so-called final island, Laugh Tale. As Rocks' confidant, Whitebeard naturally witnessed the final secret as well.

It is precisely because Whitebeard may have witnessed One Piece and knew what it was that he showed no interest when Roger intended to go to the final island to become the Pirate King, preferring instead to stay with his own pirate crew and establish the Whitebeard Family.

These secrets might be kept from others, but they couldn't be kept from Bagginstoshi, who had spent time with Whitebeard in his youth. Whitebeard might have kept his secrets for some reason, but as a pirate who loved to drink, he would inevitably blurt things out when drunk. It was under these circumstances that Bagginstoshi learned that Whitebeard had left the hidden secrets in his ideal homeland.

This is why Bakkin wanted Whitebeard Jr. to seize Whitebeard's legacy. Everyone knows that you have to find the Poneglyphs to reach the final island, Laugh Tale, to obtain the One Piece, but Bakkin discovered a hidden shortcut.

Although Whitebeard died in the Marineford War, high-level commanders like Marco, Jozu, and Vista are still alive, so Bakkin's plan to seize Whitebeard's hometown through Weevil cannot be implemented.

With these captains present, and the other three major and four Yonko crews keeping each other in check, even if the Whitebeard Pirates suffer heavy losses, they will still be able to defend the island where Utopia is located. Therefore, only when the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates are completely destroyed will Bakkin have a chance.

She had been keeping a close eye on Marco and the others, planning to strike at the crucial moment to completely destroy the Whitebeard Pirates and find the secret hidden by Newgate.
