Chapter 235: Shanks' Mother!
Chapter 235: Shanks' Mother!
The Moby Dick, Captain's cabin.
As Chen Ye spoke!
"This woman is Shanks' biological mother."
The moment the words left his mouth, the world seemed to be paused.
What followed was intense shock.
The first to be hit was Whitebeard.
This "world's strongest man" seemed utterly shocked at that moment.
His half-closed black pupils suddenly contracted.
It shrank to the size of a dangerous pinhead.
Uncontrollable excitement of the body.
His right hand, gripping the Supreme Grade Sword "Murakumogiri," turned pale instantly.
On his thick arms, veins bulged out like writhing dragons.
"Click"
A soft, slight sound came from his palm.
It was the mournful cry emanating from the hard hilt of the Murakumogi sword, under his unconscious, terrifying grip.
Whitebeard's breathing stopped for a full three seconds.
He stared at the sleeping woman before him, his eyes filled with shock.
Marco, standing next to him, reacted even more dramatically.
The fearless captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' first division was now as stiff as a sheet of iron.
His droopy eyelids suddenly opened, and his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.
Teng.
A ghostly golden flame erupted from behind him.
Flame of Rebirth.
Marco's current state reflects the turmoil in his heart.
His mouth opened.
It grows bigger and bigger.
It's big enough to fit an egg inside.
His eyes were vacant, staring blankly at Chen Ye, as if he were looking at a madman.
Red-haired Shanks?
Now he is a powerful figure on the high seas, the youngest of the Four Emperors, on par with his father.
What domineering red-haired brat could shatter a ship's hull?
This seemingly frail and harmless young woman lying on the sofa is actually the monster's biological mother?
Too much information.
This was something Marco couldn't accept for a moment.
The central area of the captain's cabin was deathly silent.
The onlookers, however, were caught in a different kind of torment.
Vista, Jozu, and the other captains did not hear what Chenye, Marco, and the white-bearded man were whispering about.
Because they are a little far away!
Chen Ye also deliberately controlled the volume of his voice.
But they have eyes.
They clearly saw their father and Marco's reactions.
My father's pupils dilated.
The expression on Marco's face.
And then there was that golden flame that burst forth and then vanished in an instant.
This is simply unbelievable.
No, even if they really saw a ghost, these two gentlemen wouldn't show such shocked expressions.
What exactly is it?
What exactly did Chen Ye say?
A shocking revelation is right in front of you, but you can't get your hands on it.
This is worse than killing them.
Countless cat claws were frantically scratching at their hearts.
itch.
It's so itchy.
An itch that's driving me crazy.
Bista could no longer contain himself.
As a swordsman, he was naturally straightforward.
The feeling of being kept in the dark made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
He leaned forward, his boots making a soft squeak on the floor.
He tentatively took a small step forward.
This step broke the silence on the outside.
He craned his neck, lowered his voice, and spoke urgently yet tentatively.
"Dad, what's going on?"
"Who is that woman?"
Joz also took a step, without saying a word, but his bright eyes were filled with the same question.
The other team leaders became restless and wanted to join in.
Just then.
The white-bearded man, who was in the center of the shock, suddenly came to his senses.
He heard footsteps behind him.
He didn't turn around.
The body hadn't even turned around.
He only made one move.
An action that is absolutely deterrent.
clang!
A deafening metallic clang suddenly erupted in the captain's cabin.
Whitebeard slammed Murakumogiri heavily to the ground with a backhand motion.
The enormous blade sliced through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound.
The heavy end of the knife handle slammed into the hard solid wood floor.
penetrating.
The entire Moby Dick trembled slightly as a result.
A massive naginata, an insurmountable barrier.
A barrier lies between Chenye, between the woman and the team captains.
The blade emitted a chilling, cold light.
The group, including Vista, who were about to approach, froze in place.
The aura emanating from my father has changed.
It is no longer kindness and generosity.
It is a seriousness.
An unquestionable majesty belonging to a king.
The air temperature dropped several degrees.
Everyone's Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty.
The white-bearded man's deep voice rang out.
The sound wasn't loud, but it resonated in everyone's eardrums like rolling thunder.
Without a trace of emotion.
Not a single word of joke.
"You brats."
With his back to the crowd, the white-bearded man's broad silhouette resembled a towering mountain.
"You don't need to know this secret for now."
"Take back all your curiosity!"
"You will understand in time!"
Three short sentences.
Every word carries immense weight.
It's the most direct command.
Father's words are absolute decrees.
Bista was stunned.
Joz was stunned.
All the team captains felt a chill run down their spines.
When Dad speaks in this tone, it means the matter is serious enough to be beyond what they can inquire about.
This is a red line.
My curiosity grew wildly like weeds.
It felt like countless cats were scratching at my heart.
They really wanted to know who the woman was.
However, absolute obedience and trust in her father outweighed everything else.
Vista forcibly suppressed the longing in his eyes.
He gave a wry smile and shook his head helplessly.
"Yes, Father."
He led the way and stepped back.
Joz sullenly touched his nose and withdrew his foot.
The team captains exchanged glances.
I was torn with anxiety, yet utterly helpless.
The agony of "I know there's a big secret, but I just can't know it" twisted their expressions.
But they still obediently retreated to the outer perimeter of the captain's cabin.
They even thoughtfully closed the door that Chen Ye had broken in half.
Although that door no longer provides any sound insulation.
The space inside the captain's cabin was completely separated by this invisible command.
On one side are anxious and helpless bystanders.
On the other side are the conspirators who possess a shocking secret.
The white-bearded man still had his back to everyone.
He only let out a sigh of relief after he was sure the little devils had behaved themselves.
That breath was extremely long, as if he was trying to expel all the shock that had been building up in his chest.
He turned around.
His sharp golden eyes locked onto Chen Ye once again.
His eyes held scrutiny, reminiscence, and deep doubt.
He needs to figure this out.
The white-bearded man leaned forward slightly, and a huge shadow once again enveloped Chen Ye.
He lowered his voice even further.
The low sound could only be heard by the three of them.
"Kid."
The white-bearded man's gaze swept over the pale-faced woman on the sofa, then fixed intently on Chen Ye's eyes.
He asked the most crucial question.
"Lao Tzu was also in the Valley of the Gods back then."
"I fought that war from beginning to end."
"That bastard Rocks is here, Roger is here, and Garp is here too."
"We sank the entire island."
The white-bearded man's eyebrows furrowed tightly, forming a deep "川" (river) character.
"How come I've never noticed this woman before?"
"If she's from someone's family, if she's with that red-haired brat."
"How could I possibly have no recollection of this at all?"
