Bab 738: Squardo's Betrayal.

_________________

•———•———•———•———•

"Why, didn't you take a blow from the one and only Hawkeye Mihawk just moments ago!? And you're still standing!? Just who are you!?"

The prisoner holding a visual den den mushi and recording Buggy looked excited while asking how he managed to survive a strike from the world's strongest swordsman.

"Who, me?"

Buggy continues to play the role of mystery.

...

{ "The name's Buggy… The Legendary!!" }

The audience in Sabaody Archipelago heard these words with blank expressions.

{ Blow the lot of them to smithereens!!! }

They could also hear the voices of Marines targeting the escaped prisoners.

"What's going on with the battle!?"

In the end, they felt frustrated because they couldn't figure out what was happening regarding the war.

"What happened to all the other visuals!?"

"Bring Ace back!! It looked like he was about to be executed!!"

"Bring back the Bartholomew Kuma Army–!!"

•———•———•———•———•

Paa!

"Legendary... my ass!"

In Marineford, Sengoku slammed his precious desk out of extreme sympathy for his counterpart in the manga.

"That damn clown again!"

"Surely my counterpart will go mad because of him!"

"Settle down, Sengoku-san... Hahahaha! This scene is truly a masterpiece."

Even Aokiji, known for his calm demeanor, couldn't contain his laughter at this moment.

"Hahahaha! Buggy is so entertaining."

The same went for Kizaru, who laughed without restraint or consideration, especially since the scene was comedy gold.

Sengoku glanced at both Kuzan and Borsalino, then between Sakazuki's cold expression and Zephyr's open smile, then to the Vice Admirals' who were trying their best not to burst out laughing, then sighed.

"Sigh~ I'm starting to understand why Buggy looks like a clown in his character design."

"He's truly a master clown!"

...

"Gurararara!!!"

"What a funny troublemaker!"

On Sphinx Island, Whitebeard enjoyed his sake while embracing Stussy and laughing at Buggy's hilarious scene.

"Hahaha! This is funny -yui."

Marco laughed too and added, "I'm starting to feel like Buggy stole the visual den den mushi to delay the Marines from executing Ace."

"After all, didn't Sengoku say they couldn't move to the next step in the operation without cutting the broadcast from all screens, right?"

"Hmm? Maybe you're right."

Vista, Jozu, Cruel, and the others felt some logic in Marco's assumption.

"Gurarara! I only see a mischievous troublemaker, but it seems what he stole for the visual den den mushi has slightly disrupted Sengoku's plans!"

"It's amusing to see Sengoku's angry expression, Gurararara!! How refreshing."

The Whitebeard Pirates nodded in agreement, finding their Oyaji's assessment closer to the truth.

Vista, in particular, had a proud expression on his face when he saw even Hawkeye Mihawk personally stepping back in a battle against his counterpart.

Suddenly, the smile froze on Whitebeard's face, the sake bottle in his hand shattered into pieces.

The Whitebeard Pirates felt a shiver down their spines, their flesh crawling.

This was because the aura Whitebeard emitted at this moment was utterly terrifying... since the start of this arc, he had been wearing a peaceful expression, but now it changed.

And an angry expression took its place.

"Squardo..."

This word came heavily from Whitebeard's mouth.

This weight fell on the shoulders of the man with pale skin and the spider tattoo sitting not far from Whitebeard.

Squardo's eyes widened, a disbelieving expression on his face as he saw the scene in the manga.

It wasn't just him; the smiles froze on the faces of the Whitebeard Pirates, the laughter ceased, and expressions of absolute shock replaced them, as if they had been shocked with electricity.

•———•———•———•———•

Chapter's Events:

—————————"Squardo!" Whitebeard felt one of his sons arriving.

"So you're safe… I tried to contact you earlier," he said.

"Yeah, sorry about that, old man!" said Squardo.

As he stood beside Whitebeard, he began to talk about the situation in the rear ranks. "Our allied crews in the rear ranks are taking a real beating…!"

"They will attack us with all the forces they have…!!"

"If they decide to push us from behind then so much the better."

Whitebeard calmly absorbed what Squardo said and replied, "I will join the battle myself!! We too must do nothing but push onward with all our might!!!"

"True enough. Every last one of us owes you an enormous debt."

"For the sake of The Whitebeard Pirates, we would gladly lay down our lives!!" Squardo drew a large sword from its sheath.

"Hm?" Marco noticed this and felt something was wrong.

"What's Squardo doing up—"

In the next moment, in an unexpected act of treachery, Squardo thrust the large sword into his father's abdomen, piercing him and coming out the other side with his blood.

•———•———•———•———•

"This..."

"Unbelievable... Impossible... Impossible... It's impossible for me to do something despicable like this!"

"This is not my counterpart for sure! This is definitely not my counterpart!"

Young Squardo placed his hands on his head in shock as he witnessed this scene that was completely unbelievable, to the point that he entered a state of denial.

He denied his counterpart.

Squardo's fit, resembling his counterpart in the manga, attracted the attention of many in the store.

But Squardo's current state drew more attention from the Whitebeard Pirates themselves.

"Squardo…"

Whitebeard's initial anger softened at the scene of betrayal that cut deeper into the heart than the body.

"Something must have happened to Squardo, I don't believe he's a traitor by nature."

Whitebeard tried to justify the situation entirely.

Because no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't change his belief in one of his sons whom he personally chose.

He didn't want to live the same scenario he experienced with Teach.

Hearing that, the expressions of the rest of the crew also softened slightly; they didn't want to rush to judgment on Squardo, so they quickly turned the pages towards the next chapter.

Squardo's betrayal wasn't like Teach's betrayal; perhaps there really was a reason, perhaps Squardo was deceived, perhaps he fell into the trap of one of the amazing Devil Fruit abilities.

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps... Many similar questions were raised to avoid unjustly accusing their brother.

But this didn't ease Squardo's denial even a little, as he continued to deny any connection with his future counterpart, whom he now saw as greatly mistaken.

"What have you done, you cursed fool! Why the hell did you stab your father! Aaah!"

Squardo pulled out some of his hair out of extreme anger and frustration.

Chapter's Events:

—————————

"BOSS!!!"

The eyes of the people who witnessed this shocking scene just now widened, whether they were allies of Whitebeard or even his enemies from the Marines.

"Whitebeard!!" Buggy's lips trembled in disbelief.

"Whitebeard was…" The same went for the viewers who were following the war events through the lone working screen.

"Stabbed!!!"

Sengoku's expression remained unchanged upon seeing this, while Garp stayed silent.

"Old man…" Luffy was greatly shocked because he didn't expect that.

Whitebeard's blood dripped from the gaping wound caused by Squardo's blade, which was reflected on the broadcast screen at Sabaody Archipelago.

"Kyaaah!!!" This was a scream from a young woman who didn't want to see this sight.

{{Yes, That's right, the one who stabbed Whitebeard was his subordinate, }}

Among the viewers, a journalist was narrating the exclusive news to his boss.

{{A pirate from the New World, Whirlpool Spider!!!}}}

Back to the battlefield, Squardo felt a rise in temperature behind him.

"SQUARDO!!!"

Suddenly, a burning mallet slammed onto his head and pinned him to the ground. "…Ku…!!!"

"… Why did you do this!!?" Marco shouted violently, not expecting such an action from a trusted ally like Squardo.

"Shut up!!!"

"You're the ones who forced us into this!!!"

With hatred in his eyes, Squardo yelled at Marco and then turned towards Whitebeard and continued speaking.

"Stop this insanity!!! Whitebeard!!! You've already made a deal with the Marines, haven't you!? They promised to let your Whitebeard Pirates and Ace live, right!!?"

Upon hearing that, the other allied pirates felt stunned.

"What're you saying!?"

"What's the meaning of this?"

"He led us into a trap!!!" exclaimed Squardo.

•———•———•———•———•

"What the fuck are you saying!!?"

In the art store on Sphinx Island, Squardo is still in disbelief over what's happening in the manga.

His counterpart's words after what he did caused much more confusion than he was already in.

"Calm down, Squardo, first, and then focus."

After a long silence, Whitebeard finally spoke, causing Squardo and the others to fall silent unconsciously.

Squardo nodded humbly, then calmed his racing heartbeats and regained his composure away from his previously tense mood.

"Sigh~ Squardo in the manga indeed fell into some trap, but not my trap apparently, as expected, he was deceived… this foolish son."

A smile appeared on his face; Whitebeard was pleased with such an outcome, which was much better than betrayal without any justifications, no, pure evil, betrayal for the sake of betrayal only.

"And the one who led him into this trap must be… Sengoku…? No, this despicable act wouldn't be done by Sengoku…"

"Then who in the Marines would do such a despicable thing?"

Whitebeard wondered with a dangerous glint in his eye… Though he was just reading events on paper, not experiencing anything personally, he felt the same as Whitebeard who was stabbed in the manga.

These scenes might be part of a possible future that made the current Whitebeard feel like he was already part of this amazing war.

When Squardo turned and stabbed his counterpart with cold blood, he felt a piercing pain stabbing his heart… He never expected such a dramatic change at all.

"Well, never mind, whatever it is, he has already succeeded in his goal… weakening my counterpart's strength significantly, and creating confusion among his allies…"

"Let's see how you deal with this, my old counterpart…"

Finally, Whitebeard smiled, lifting the immense burden of heavy emotions on the hearts of his sons and allies, especially Squardo.

Whitebeard looked at Squardo and spoke with a smile.

"You see, when you analyze calmly, the picture becomes clearer, there's no need to fear or worry about something you didn't do, everyone here won't suspect any wrongdoing from you, my son, so relax and continue reading the manga as if you were reading an unrelated story."

"Everyone here is confident in your loyalty."

"Oyaji…" Squardo felt like crying upon hearing that.

He nodded calmly and continued reading the rest of the scenes.

The same went for Marco and the others who felt relieved after knowing that Squardo was just deceived and wasn't a wolf in sheep's clothing like Blackbeard.

After reading what happened next, Squardo choked on his tears that he couldn't control.

Whitebeard's reaction to being stabbed literally made Squardo's tears overflow… He wasn't alone; most of them cried, including Marco, Jozu, and the others.

Seeing this, Whitebeard sighed, as his eyes reflected this manga scene.

•———•———•———•———•

"We didn't know anything… about Ace being Gol D. Roger's son…!!!" exclaimed Squardo.

"…" Whitebeard's expression darkened further upon hearing that. Nevertheless, he continued listening to Squardo's justifications.

"When you picked me up… I was alone…!! Do you know why!? It was because the friends I fought alongside for so long were obliterated by Roger…!!!"

"You should know the hate I have for Roger!!!"

Squardo continued expressing his dissatisfaction: "Why didn't you say anything… about how Ace was Roger's son and you planned on making him the next Pirate King!!?"

"As soon as you did that, you had already betrayed us… You mocked me by having me be friendly with Ace!! And when your darling Ace was captured you sold out the 43 captains following you in exchange for Ace's life!!!"

"Squardo… You attacked your own father with your blade… You're an unbelievably stupid son!!"

"Uwaah!!!"

What Whitebeard just said terrified Squardo, but in the next moment, he froze from what happened.

Whitebeard hugged him with one hand, saying: "But even so… I still love you…"

•———•———•———•———•

Away from the Grand Line, in the South Blue.

"Did you kill this man's crew…?"

Rouge asked with a concerned expression. By "this man," she was referring to Squardo, of course.

"I've killed countless pirates; I can't remember every bug I've squashed," Roger replied indifferently, but deep down, he was trying to remember seriously.

"Perhaps I crushed his crew that was committing wicked acts against civilians. That's the only case where I take lives; you know how intolerant I am of those who disturb the peace of ordinary people."

"Even pirates targeting my life may not necessarily lose theirs, just as my crew doesn't do so either."

"That's true…" Rouge nodded after hearing that.

"What's wrong with weakness? For an old man, you're strong enough to intimidate the world." Seeing how Newgate dealt with Squardo's matter, Roger smiled broadly.

"An embrace for a lost son, what a father deserving of praise."
