Chapter 187 - 187. Whitebeard Makes A Move! (1/2)
Pacifistas. The World Government's human weapon modelled after one of the Seven Warlords, Bartholomew Kuma!
”They were trying to trap us from both sides.”
”Pop's saw it coming, that's why he told us to sink the ship's first.”
Sengoku spoke through the transponder snail, ”Take care of those pirates who gets far from the enclosure.”
A bulky man with a giant axe on his shoulder received the order and asked through the transponder snail, ”Uncle, is it alright if a few marine sh.i.p.s gets caught in the cross fire?”
Kizaru was the one who responded, ”Keep it to minimum.”
”Alright.”
The bulky man was called Sentomaru and he was the one in charge of the Pacifistas.
With a clear order the Pacifistas took a formation and attacked.
Laser beams were shot from their palms and their mouths.
Some pirates tried to destroy them but the materials used to build the Pacifistas were nothing ordinary.
The tides of battle turned.
Whitebeard Pirates were on the back foot. With overwhelming fire Power the Pacifistas took care of ordinary pirates.
Only the commanders were able to hold them off.
Suddenly a commotion broke out on Whitebeard's ship.
One of Whitebeard's captain's tried to attack Whitebeard!
Marco was raging as he rushed to the ship. He slammed Squard, the captain who attacked Whitebeard.
”Why did you do that?! Answer me, Squard!”
Squard gritted his teeth and said, ”Shut up! You made me do it!”
”What did you say? Do you know what you've done...?”
”Let him speak, Marco.”
Whitebeard spoke calmly.
”Pops...
Marco let go of Squard and waited.
Squard got to his feet and pointed at Whitebeard, ”I know about your deal with the Navy! You have their assurance that Whitebeards and Ace will remain safe!”
”What's Squard talking about?”
Whitebeard didn't respond.
Squard raised his voice, ”Everyone, listen very closely! We've all been trapped. You never told me... that Ace was the son of that hateful Gold Roger!”
”When you first found me, I was all alone. You know why I was all alone. Because Roger killed all of my crew who had fought alongside with me for so long.”
”I despise Roger and you know it. That's why you should have told me that Ace was Roger's son!”
”But I didn't know and I even befriended him! I must have looked stupid. And then your dearest son got caught!”
”With the Whitebeard Pirates all inside the bay and we allied pirates on the outside. You have sold the lives of 43 captains of the allied pirates to the Navy, in exchange for Ace's life!”
”The allied pirates will be vanquished and Ace will be safe! That's your deal with Sengoku, isn't it?!”
”Those monsters approach from the back and the ice is blocking us on both sides. We have no way out now!”
”Pops, is he telling the truth?!”
”Say that he's lying, old buddy!”
”Say something!”
Squard stared at Whitebeard, ”I didn't wanna believe it, I couldn't believe it! I never thought you would betray us!”
”You fool!”
Marco grabbed Squard's collar and yelled, ”You've been deceived, Squard! Why couldn't you trust pops?!”
”Don't play innocent, Marco! You're the 1st division commander, I know that you knew about Ace and the deal with the Navy!”
Squard glared at Marco and yelled.
”It's true that Ace is Roger's son.”
Finally Whitebeard spoke, ”They used that fact and tricked the one man who would be angered by it the most. Their strategy was one notch above us.”
Marco was trembling from anger.
