Chapter 85 The Betrayal That Was Exposed, Squard's Confusion!
This question seemed to drain all of Whitebeard's strength.
Faced with his father's questioning.
He was met with stares from his companions that went from shock and confusion to anger.
The madness in Squard's eyes quickly faded.
Instead, there was endless pain and confusion.
Suddenly, he abruptly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the white-bearded man, and roared with all his might!
"Why?!"
"Dad! Why did you lie to us?!"
"You'd already discussed this with the Navy, hadn't you?!"
"We'll trade the heads of forty-seven captains from the New World pirate crews for the life of your son, Portgas D. Ace!"
"You've betrayed us all!!"
This blood-and-tears-filled roar, like thunderclaps, exploded in the sky above Marineford, echoing in the ears of every pirate!
The entire noisy battlefield fell eerily silent at that moment.
Everyone was stunned by these words.
sell?
Dad... betrayed us?
How is that possible!
That's absolutely impossible!
On the ice, countless crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates' affiliated pirate crews, who were engaged in fierce fighting, stopped moving.
However, the one who said these words was Squard, the "Great Vortex Spider," who was also a member of their family!
Once the seeds of doubt are sown, they will grow wildly.
Countless pirates hesitated, their fighting spirit replaced by bewilderment, and their eyes, fixed on the bow of the Moby Dick, were filled with unease.
The navy's plot is about to succeed.
On the battlefield, a cruel and triumphant smile curled at the corners of Akainu's mouth.
The Whitebeard Pirates are finished.
Just when morale was about to collapse and the building was about to crumble.
Just as this despair, enough to destroy everything, was about to spread.
A cold, calm voice, devoid of any emotion, quickly drowned out all the noise.
"That's what Akainu told you, right?"
Chen Ye spoke.
Squard's roar abruptly ceased.
How did you know?
His pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints!
Chen Ye's voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to possess a certain magic, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"Did Akainu tell you that your father and Fleet Admiral Sengoku made a deal, exchanging the lives of you New World pirate captains for the safety of Ace and the Whitebeard Pirates?"
"He also told you that Ace was Gol D. Roger's son, and that your father was sacrificing the lives of your family members for the bloodline of his enemy."
Chen Ye recited Akainu's lies, word for word, in front of everyone, without alteration.
"Am I right?"
"Squard".
The entire room fell silent.
All the pirates were stunned.
Squard, who was lying on the ground, trembled violently as if struck by lightning!
The mad hatred in his eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by endless bewilderment and a deep-seated terror.
he……
How did he know?
These words were just whispered in his ear by Akainu, word for word!
In this world, besides him and Akainu, there couldn't possibly be a third person who knew!
Chen Ye gave him no time to think and continued to speak in that terrifyingly calm tone, saying words that made his soul tremble even more.
"Squard, use your rusty brain to think."
"If Dad really wanted to betray you, would he need such a complicated scheme?"
"Do I need to personally lead the entire Whitebeard Pirates force to this battlefield where we are doomed?"
Furthermore, without Daddy, could you possibly break through the Navy's defenses? Could you possibly rescue Ace from so many elite Navy personnel?
"No."
Chen Ye's voice was cold and ruthless.
"You will be crushed by the Navy like a swarm of ants, one by one, on the road to advance."
"Your father didn't bring you here to be cannon fodder!"
"He wants to take all of you home with him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ye released his grip on Squard and slowly stood up.
He looked down at Squard, who was slumped on the deck, his eyes completely lost in confusion and daze.
"You've been fooled, you idiot."
Chen Ye's words were like a sharp knife, completely piercing Squard's last psychological defenses.
He got it.
He understood everything.
Yes... if Dad really wanted to betray them, why bother with all that trouble?
Dad didn't even need to come to this battlefield where survival was a matter of life and death.
But Dad didn't.
He led all his family members into the most dangerous place in the world.
What have I been doing...?
Tears of regret burst forth instantly.
Just then.
A huge shadow fell over him.
The white-bearded man slowly walked to Squard's side, bent down, and without a trace of anger, used his large hands to pull this "son" who had just betrayed him into his broad and warm embrace.
Hold me tight.
"Gurala la la... my silly son..."
The white-bearded man's voice was filled with endless tenderness and affection.
"I'm your father."
"Ace is my son, and you... are all my sons too."
I love each and every one of you so deeply!
boom!
Squard's mind went blank.
He froze in the white-bearded man's broad, warm embrace, feeling that familiar scent and hearing that familiar voice. The tears that had been building up in his eyes finally burst forth.
He got it.
He understood everything.
How terribly wrong I was!
"Dad... Dad..."
He burst into tears, like a child who had made a mistake, his voice filled with endless regret and guilt.
"I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry!!"
Meanwhile, all the pirates on the ice below, watching the father and son embrace on the Moby Dick and listening to the old man's heartfelt words, had tears in their eyes.
Waaaaah... Daddy...
Immediately, a surge of emotion and anger, difficult to express in words, exploded within them!
"So that's how it is... It was a Navy conspiracy!"
"Damn the navy! They actually resorted to such despicable tactics to sow discord among us!"
"How could Dad betray us! We're family!"
"Brothers! Slaughter these despicable marines!!"
The Navy's attempt to sow discord not only failed, but instead acted like a stimulant, fueling the already burning fighting spirit of the Whitebeard Pirates!
At this moment, the morale of all the pirates reached its peak!
On the execution platform.
Seeing this, Zhan Guo was so angry that his face turned ashen and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
"Damn it! So close!"
On the battlefield, Akainu's face was so gloomy it could drip water.
"If it weren't for that brat Chenye... Whitebeard would be seriously injured by now!"
He stared intently at the black figure aboard the Moby Dick, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.
If it weren't for him, Whitebeard would be seriously injured by now!
"Sakazuki!" Sengoku growled. "Execute Plan B! Prepare to activate the encirclement wall!"
"yes!
On the Moby Dick.
Whitebeard gently patted Squard, who was still crying in his arms, and then slowly stood up.
He turned around and faced the entire Navy Headquarters.
That aged face was now filled with unprecedented rage!
"How dare you... deceive my son..."
"navy!!!"
A roar that shook the heavens and the earth!
The next second, before Chen Ye could react, the white-bearded man's massive body leaped off the bow of the Moby Dick, which was tens of meters high!
boom!!!
As soon as he landed, the hard ice surface cracked and spread instantly!
Sengoku's pupils dilated upon seeing this scene. He picked up a Den Den Mushi and roared at the loudest volume he could muster to the entire navy!
"Attention everyone!!!"
"The world's strongest man... is about to make his move!!!"
Whitebeard, wielding the naginata "Murakumogiri," unleashed a devastating aura and gave the order to launch a full-scale attack to all his sons behind him!
"My little ones!!"
"Charge with me!!!"
"Ohhhhhhh!!!"
The shouts, as loud as a mountain and as powerful as a tsunami, resounded through the sky!
Chen Ye looked down at the imposing figure leading the charge towards the Marine Headquarters, a hint of admiration on his lips.
"This is the real white beard..."
Let me witness the strength of the strongest man in the world right now, uninjured!
Just then.
High in the sky, several piercing screams suddenly rang out.
"Aaaaaah—I'm going to fall!!"
Ok?
Chen Ye looked up and saw several black dots rapidly falling from the high sky formed by the glacier.
The figure in the lead was wearing a straw hat.
Chen Ye's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Oh? You still came after all?"
"Straw Hat Boy... Luffy!"
