Chapter 483: Ace is your son!
Chapter 483: Ace is your son!
Roger stood beside the long table. Chen Ye uttered the words, "The one who untied the knot."
He'll be speechless!
But at that moment, his drunkenness vanished instantly.
He suddenly stood up.
Roger felt uneasy, like a lion sensing danger.
But it's not the unease of battle!
Instinctively, I reject the impending trial.
He didn't know what secret Chen Ye possessed.
But his intuition told him that he had made a serious mistake.
Zefa, sitting across the long table, stopped what he was doing. His hand, holding the wine bowl, froze in mid-air.
He put down his wine bowl.
Having experienced countless life-or-death battles, he was all too familiar with the deathly silence before the storm.
This scene was no longer a joke between old friends. Chen Ye wasn't joking.
Roger probably owes a huge debt of romantic entanglements.
Zefa sat there like an iron tower.
As a former admiral.
He had witnessed too many tragedies stemming from blood ties. What follows will definitely be different.
Unlike Zephyr, Rocks became interested.
He pulled over a chair and braced himself heavily on the table with both arms.
Lean forward.
His wild face was filled with excitement.
Lest the world be in chaos.
He stared intently at Roger.
He desperately wanted to see Luo Jie make a fool of himself.
This malicious anticipation made him feel completely at ease. He grinned.
He revealed sharp, white teeth, as if savoring an exquisite delicacy.
Seeing Roger get his comeuppance is more satisfying than anything else.
Shanks was lounging back in his chair, enjoying the banquet.
But now he sat up straight, his gentle smile gone.
His gaze shifted between Roger and Ace. He knew his captain all too well.
He was also aware of Ace's relationship with his captain. The feud could not be resolved amicably.
The window paper has been pierced.
The relationship between father and son is the most complex!
Shanks couldn't interfere, since his own captain was indeed in the wrong.
The gears of fate turned once more.
Ace stood behind the white-bearded man.
he knows!
Chen Ye's next words were definitely related to himself.
It's also the thing I least want to remember!
Ace clenched his fists tightly.
Sabo noticed Ace's unusual behavior.
He stood firmly half a step diagonally in front of Ace, his shoulder slightly turned to the side.
The angle is clever. It blocks the view.
It also blocked any potential attacks. The skill in its movements was almost heartbreaking.
I've done it countless times. My nerves are on edge.
Grip the water pipe tightly.
Armament Haki covers the weapon. No one will be allowed to harm Ace.
This is the bottom line for brothers. A vow to protect with our lives.
Even when facing the Pirate King, I will never back down.
The white-bearded man remained seated firmly in his place, without uttering a sound.
There were no drastic actions.
However, a powerful aura erupted from his body!
This is a silent declaration: No one can touch his family.
Absolutely protective of their offspring.
As long as he sits here, no one can touch Ace.
Luffy hadn't understood what was going on. His mouth was stuffed with grilled meat.
His cheeks puffed out like balloons. Everyone's expressions were off.
An unpleasant smell filled the air. The cheerful and relaxed feeling vanished.
He swallowed the roasted meat. He looked up, about to ask a question.
A hand reached out. Sabo pressed his hand down on Luffy's head.
He forcefully swallowed his doubts.
We shouldn't let him cause trouble at this time.
Luffy was puzzled, but he sensed Sabo's restraint and tension.
Shut up, be good. Her big eyes darted around.
He scanned everyone's faces, trying to figure out what had happened.
Roger stared intently at Chen Ye high above, his gaze sharp as a knife.
His voice lowered slightly. His tone became more urgent.
"Tatsuba"
Stop beating around the bush. Just say what you mean.
Roger felt annoyed. He hated being led by the nose.
He desperately wanted to know the truth.
This must be clarified immediately.
The torment of an unresolved matter is worse than being stabbed.
Chen Ye stood on a higher vantage point, looking down at the crowd.
No suspense. No unnecessary setup.
"The meaning is very simple."
"Ace. He's your son."
calm.
Like a merciless judge.
Let's uncover the truth!
The bloody truth is revealed.
The words fell.
The core area fell into dead silence. No one spoke.
There was no sound.
Time stopped. Everyone's mind went blank for a moment.
The news is shocking.
Beyond the limits of cognition.
Although the Navy had already revealed that Ace was Roger's son during the Marineford War!
But now!
The experience of being there in person is definitely different.
Roger's hand trembled violently. The wine bowl in his hand shattered on the spot.
A crisp crack.
It pierced the tough skin. Crimson blood mingled with the wine.
It dripped down between my fingers. It made a ticking sound.
Roger was completely unaware.
Just stand there blankly.
Completely stunned. That one sentence kept echoing in my mind.
An unprecedented sense of astonishment overwhelmed him. His mind went blank.
Loss of the ability to think. Never thought of it.
To think that I still have descendants in this world.
Ace's face turned ashen. His eyes blazed with fury.
Which sentence doesn't reveal the truth?
It was the thing he least wanted to recall!
In front of everyone.
I hate that man.
I hate the blood flowing in my veins. I absolutely refuse to accept it.
He exuded a strong sense of resistance.
Life is filled with suffering because of that name.
Now, the culprit is standing right in front of me, alive and well.
The white-bearded man took a large step forward. His enormous body was like a city wall.
He used his body to completely shield Ace from view, blocking his line of sight.
"Ace is my son."
It was deafening. It carried an undeniable domineering force.
"Anyone who wants to hurt her will have to get past the knife in my hand first."
He slammed the clouds down onto the ground with a heavy blow.
The most direct warning: Who dares to touch Ace?
That means making enemies of the entire Whitebeard Pirates. Even if the enemy is the Pirate King.
We will not back down an inch.
Lox couldn't hold back any longer. He slammed his fist on the table.
A loud, unrestrained laugh. The laughter was full of mockery.
Pointing his finger at Roger's nose. His tone was vicious.
"Roger, oh Roger"
I laughed so hard I almost cried.
"You spent your whole life as the Pirate King, boasting that you'd seen through the entire ocean. In the end, you couldn't even recognize your own son standing right in front of you."
The words were like poisoned steel needles, piercing deeply into Roger's heart.
"You've really seen something new. What a ridiculous joke."
Rocks was incredibly pleased. He had finally seen Roger at his most pathetic.
Former nemesis defeated by bloodline. The thrill of revenge is irresistible.
They wished they could broadcast their shameful deeds to the whole world.
Shanks sighed. He raised his left hand.
I pressed my forehead hard. A deep headache.
I feel sorry for Roger. I know I can't say anything.
This is Roger's blood debt. A problem that has been left unresolved for over two decades.
No one can pay for him. We can only remain silent.
Looking at the current situation, things are spiraling into an abyss.
My heart is heavy. I know how much pain Ace has endured.
They also understood how helpless Roger was at that moment. There was nothing he could do.
We can only be bystanders, witnessing the brutal reckoning.
I dare not look into Ace's eyes. They must be filled with hatred and despair.
Roger ignored the mockery. He paid no attention to his wounds.
He turned his head with difficulty, his gaze passing over the white-bearded man's shoulder.
The light fell on Ace's freckled face. His gaze was unfocused.
His body trembled slightly. He stared intently at Ace's eyes and brows.
I want to find the answer that's more than twenty years overdue in those youthful faces.
I saw Rouge's shadow. Her stubborn eyes and slightly pursed lips.
I also see my own outline. An indomitable will and a wild, untamed spirit.
A wondrous connection, a bond that cannot be severed.
Roger was completely thrown into turmoil. He saw his son, whom he had never met before.
He has grown to this size now, and he...
I didn't even recognize myself at first.
Roger swallowed the bitter taste.
"Go on."
He stared intently at Chen Ye, his body stiff as a stone.
"Chen Ye, tell me everything you know."
The whole truth must be found out.
