Chapter 331

At this instant, Roger suddenly recalled his wife, that weak woman who wasn't very beautiful but had always been very gentle to him.

However, it was such a weak woman who, in order to safely give birth to his child, accomplished such a great feat!

Even if he was just a thick-headed funny guy, he knew how heavy a burden ten months of pregnancy was for a mother, let alone letting her child stay in her womb for twenty months!

How much tenacity of will does this require? And how much huge pressure and pain does this require to endure?

Thinking of this, Roger clenched his fists all at once, and then asked in a deep voice: "Rayleigh, where is Rouge?"

Rayleigh sighed softly and said: "Dead! Although she successfully deceived the Navy, the birth of the child also exhausted her life, so she died after the child was born!"

Another bolt from the blue struck Roger's head hard!

Although he still didn't know exactly what had happened, he had finally understood why he heard his son shouting that he wasn't his son and that his old man was Bai Huzi when he first arrived!

Boundless self-reproach and pain occupied his heart at this moment.

He knelt on the ground, his expression lost and soul-less!

Clearly, he had thought too naively at the beginning, thinking that entrusting the child to Garp would be fine, never imagining that the result would be like this!

Rayleigh, seeing Roger, who always had a smile on his face, showing such an expression, also sighed incomparably in his heart.

Honestly speaking, their captain was worthy of many people, but he was the only one who failed Ace and his mother!

At the same time, on the execution platform, Sengoku's sentencing of Ace continued.

His gaze, like a cold blade, fell on Ace, and he said in a low voice: "Fire Fist Ace, after we discovered that you possessed the bloodline of that man, we were all anxious, wanting to get rid of you at all times! However, Bai Huzi also noticed this matter, and in order to cultivate you into the next Pirate King, he even let the son of his former rival board his ship!"

Ace, hearing this, couldn't help but shout again: "Wrong! I boarded that ship to let the old man become the Pirate King!"

"That is just your wishful thinking!"

Sengoku said coldly, "Why do you think we have been unable to make a move on you? It's all because Bai Huzi has been protecting you!"

Ace on the execution platform was stunned.

Roger, hiding on the warship, also widened his eyes, not expecting Bai Huzi to take such good care of his son.

"We know deeply that if you are allowed to continue developing... you will surely gradually exert your qualifications to stand at the pinnacle of the next generation of pirates, and may even become the next Roger! Therefore, taking your head here today has extremely great significance!"

Speaking of this, Sengoku's eyes suddenly became incomparably sharp.

He looked around the scene and solemnly announced to the whole world: "Even if... we have to go to full-scale war with the Bai Huzi Pirates because of this, we will not hesitate!!"

"Boom!"

As this voice of his spread, many elites of the World Government at the scene shouted loudly, their fighting spirit surging.

At the same time, countless people around the world watching the live broadcast were also shocked!

They felt the determination of the World Government, and at the same time, they were more and more certain that a terrifying war would definitely break out at the Marine Headquarters, Marineford, next!

"Hoo..."

Marineford, below the high execution platform, Garp sat under the three Admirals, unable to help but hold his head and sigh heavily.

"If it's hard to bear, just go back first, Garp!" Vice Admiral Tsuru, whose injuries had just initially healed and who still looked a bit weak, couldn't help but say to Garp.

"Wahahaha, little Tsuru, you are as gentle as ever! However, how could I be uncomfortable?" Garp suddenly let out a bold laugh, saying in an indifferent tone.

It's just that when he said this, he suddenly recalled the words Roger said when he entrusted the child to him, and all the things that happened later.

Thinking and thinking, he suddenly felt his eyes moisten, and a feeling of guilt surged in his heart, but he didn't know whether he felt guilty toward Roger, or toward Ace's mother Rouge, or toward Ace, or all of them.

And what he didn't know was that one of the people he felt guilty toward was hiding on a warship at the scene!

Roger, after hearing Sengoku's statement, basically understood the cause and effect.

He suddenly stood up and said solemnly to Lin Xuan: "Thank you, sir, for giving me this opportunity to make amends to my child! Roger will forever remember your great kindness in his heart!"

After finishing, he turned his head sharply and was about to rush off the warship!

Clearly, he wanted to rush out regardless of everything, beat up all the enemies, and save Ace!

However, just as he moved, he heard Lin Xuan's voice from behind: "Orochimaru, make him stop!"

Immediately, Roger was horrified to find that his body had lost control, stopping directly in place, unable to take another step forward!

Without a doubt, his body was controlled by Orochimaru!

Orochimaru, while manipulating him to step back step by step, really felt an inexplicable pleasure.

After all, the one he was manipulating was the world-famous Pirate King!

However, now he could only let him be manipulated!

It must be said that Reincarnation Jutsu has far greater power in the One Piece World than in the Naruto World, because here, unless one possesses a very small number of Devil Fruit abilities that happen to be able to restrain it, no matter who it is, after being brought back to life with Reincarnation Jutsu, they can only obediently be manipulated by the caster!

Lin Xuan, after Roger retreated to his side, just said calmly: "Don't worry, since I brought you back to life with Reincarnation Jutsu, I naturally didn't just let you come out to play; there will naturally be opportunities for you to make a move later, but not now!"

"Then when will it be?" Roger asked anxiously.

Lin Xuan just said: "When it is time for you to make a move, I will naturally let you make a move!"

And just as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt something, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Bai Huzi and the others are here, watch the performance well!"

PS: Recommend a new book by a friend, "Starting from the Captain of the Heavenly Dynasty," the currently popular captain genre; the data looks amazing, making me envious. Those interested can support it!

Also, because I have been traveling back from my hometown these past two days and taking my child to get vaccinated, the updates haven't been very good; I will try to make up for it tomorrow and the day after! Thank you all for your support!
