Their brother, Ace, was escorted to the execution platform by a team of executioners. He was covered in injuries, with his hands shackled behind his back by Seastone handcuffs. Two executioners with execution swords stood behind him.
Upon witnessing this scene, even though they already knew Ace would be publicly executed, they couldn't help but be filled with anger.
They actually dared to do this!
The members of the Whitebeard Pirates were filled with fury, and a chilling aura surrounded Whitebeard himself.
Regardless of the reasons, daring to harm his family members was unforgivable!
Whitebeard remembered this grudge!
In the midst of the imagery—
Admiral Sengoku and the Marine hero Garp walked side by side beneath the execution platform.
Sengoku glanced at Garp behind him and asked, "Garp, may I? I want to reveal everything."
Upon hearing this, Garp's expression turned sour, and he looked away.
"Do as you wish, I'll be down here," he replied.
Subsequently, the two separated, and Sengoku ascended the execution platform. The people below all turned their attention to Admiral Sengoku on the platform.
At the same time, the person assigned to live broadcast, aimed the Den Den Mushi towards Sengoku, broadcasting the scene synchronously to other locations.
A live broadcast within a live broadcast.
Sengoku held a Den Den Mushi with a voice amplifier and addressed the people present:
"There is something I want to tell everyone about this man, Portgas D. Ace. His death here today holds great significance."
Sengoku said to Ace, "Ace, say your father's name!"
The people below were somewhat confused as to why Ace's father was being mentioned at this moment.
Ace's expression remained the same as when he was asked earlier.
"My old man is Whitebeard!" Ace said indifferently.
"No, that's not it!" Sengoku shouted loudly.
However, Ace's reaction was even stronger than Sengoku's. He exclaimed fiercely, "I didn't say it wrong! I only have one father, and that's Whitebeard!"
But Sengoku didn't listen to Ace's words and continued on his own, "At that time, we desperately searched for a child of that man on a certain island...
Based on the intelligence from CP, we found an island called Baltigo, but there was no result.
However, there was a woman, your mother, who risked her life to bear you, concealed her pregnancy from the world for 20 months, and gave birth to you while using up her last bit of strength, dying on the spot.
You couldn't possibly be unaware of this! Your father is...
The Pirate King Gol D. Roger!"
At this point, the scene switched to another location, and the people also saw the final meeting between Roger and Garp in the prison.
Inside the prison, with his hands shackled, the Pirate King Roger looked up at Garp from his cell.
"Garp! My child is about to be born... but unfortunately... I won't be in this world anymore," Roger said.
Garp, with a grim expression, looked at Roger and said, "Roger, what's the point of telling me this?
A woman involved with you would naturally be sentenced to death!"
Roger approached Garp and said, "That's why I'm telling you!
The government will surely track down my whereabouts for this past year and find her, you blockhead!"
"The unborn child is innocent, Garp!"
Roger said loudly, "We've taught you dozens of times. I've always trusted you as my comrade!
Go and protect them!"
Garp angrily retorted, "Stop talking nonsense!"
"No... you will help me!
I entrust my child to you!"
A smile appeared on Roger's face, a confident smile as if he had seen through Garp. He knew in his heart that Garp was a good person who wouldn't turn a blind eye to women and children!
Faced with Roger's excessive request, Garp showed a helpless yet dissatisfied expression on his face.
The people who witnessed Roger entrusting his child finally understood why the esteemed Marine hero Garp adopted the son of the Pirate King Roger.
This bastard took advantage of his familiarity with Garp, seizing his sense of justice and kindness as a moral hostage.
He made it impossible for Garp, who couldn't sit idly by when it came to women and children, to protect his wife and child.
What a shameless scoundrel!
Seeing this, the onlookers finally dispelled their previous thoughts of any collusion between Garp and the Pirate King.
What they despised even more was Roger, this scoundrel who caused so much destruction and separation of families, yet had the audacity to morally blackmail Garp into protecting his wife and child. This person was truly shameless.
The scene shifted to an island.
A large number of Marines and Cipher Pol stormed the island.
However, the words they uttered sent chills down one's spine.
