I Am Whitebeard's Son

Chapter 179: I Am Whitebeard's Son

"Here we come."

Solo, a Captain, stood with Perona, Robin, and others on the square of Marineford, while his gaze was fixed on the execution platform above. As the time approached noon, two executioners escort Ace to the execution platform.

Behind him was the Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, the mastermind of the war, Sengoku the Buddha. With a plop, Ace knelt directly in the center of the execution platform, lowering his head slightly, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.

There is quite a feeling of resignation, the two long swords in the executioner's hand fell down, forming a big X shape, as if Ace's head could be harvested at any time. More marines are paying attention to the sea in the center of Marineford Square.

That is the only direction that one can rush into the Marine Headquarters, and it is also the only way for the Whitebeard Pirates to rescue Ace. Everything today is within Solo's expectations.

"The war is about to begin."

Solo took a deep breath, but in his heart, he hoped that the war would end soon. But just when Sengoku was about to say something, another man appeared on the edge of the execution platform. The figure is tall and muscular, also wearing the cloak of justice.

As he walked up to the execution platform step by step, the eyes of Sengoku were also attracted to him. For a while, Sengoku's heart inevitably became tense. It's not someone else but the legendary Vice Admiral of the Marine headquarters, Garp the Fist.

He is not only a legendary Marine Hero, but also the spiritual pillar of all marines. It is no exaggeration to say that Garp's words and deeds can affect the marines present. In addition, he still has the identity of Ace's grandfather. Sengoku was also afraid that Garp would make some irrational move. 

"Garp, what are you doing here?" 

Sengoku took a deep breath and asked directly. 

"I'm here, does it matter, Sengoku?" 

Garp met Sengoku's gaze, not afraid of his status as a Fleet Admiral. Even, under the gaze of Sengoku, Garp walked to Ace's side, sat on the edge of the execution platform, and fell silent. 

Ace couldn't help but look at Garp's back, recalling all kinds of childhood, he also felt conflicted. Seeing this, Sengoku did not blame Garp or order him to leave. Soon, Sengoku calmed down. Executing Ace is not his real purpose, if there is any disturbance, it will only make the situation worse. 

"Before the execution begins, I have a few words to convey to the whole world. Is it okay?" Sengoku paused for a while, "Garp." 

No matter what he said, he and Garp had known each other for many years. At this juncture, he still chose to respect Garp. 

"Whatever you want." 

Garp replied without thinking as if he didn't care about such trivial matters. 

"En." 

Sengoku nodded slightly, no longer worried. He took a step forward and announced loudly to the navy and all the audience who were paying attention to the execution platform.

"Portgas D. Ace! This man is about to be executed here, which has a special meaning. Ace, tell me your father's name!"

Sengoku looked down at Ace. Before the execution began, Sengoku felt that it was necessary for everyone to know Ace's true identity. His origin, his past, and most importantly his blood.

However, Ace, who had been quiet all the time, changed his expression when he heard the word father. At this moment, it seemed as if something stabbed fiercely into Ace's heart.

"My father..."

Ace took a deep breath and shouted forward, "There is only one! That is Whitebeard!"

"I am...Whitebeard's son!"

Among the expectations of Sengoku and the marines below knew Ace's identity before the execution ceremony began. Everyone knows him as Whitebeard's crew member. Everyone knows that he is the adopted son of Whitebeard.

In their view, Ace's loud voice is just like maintaining the image of Whitebeard and letting the world know that he is the son of Whitebeard.

"According to our investigation, your biological father is actually someone else." 

After Sengoku glanced at Ace, he turned to the Den Den Mushi. The most shocking information in the world has been exposed, he told the truth. After Gol D. Roger was executed that year, the CP Department of the World Government found many newborn babies.

They made a detailed investigation among the mothers of the babies. However, nothing was found.

"It's no wonder, after all, your smooth birth was thanks to your mother's life. In order to let you escape the capture of the marines, she even managed to deceive the whole world!"

From the perspective of motherhood, Ace's mother is indeed the best mother one would think of. For this, even Sengoku felt admiration in his heart. But the cubes of the two sides are different after all.

To avoid the emergence of a new Pirate King, it is very necessary to kill Roger's bloodline.

"Your mother hid in Baterilla Island in South Blue and kept you in her womb for twenty months before giving birth to you. She escaped the investigation of the CP Organization. When the birth finally came, her strength was all but spent…she left this world just as you entered it. Her name is Portgas D. Rouge!"

Sengoku paused and raised the volume of his voice again so that everyone realized the seriousness of the problem.

"1 year and 3 months from the father's death…a child was born bearing the most accursed blood tobe found in the world. That child is you. Do not claim to you're not aware..! Your father is none other…than Pirate King, Gold Roger!"

Following the announcement of Ace's true identity by Sengoku, all the marines on the entire Marinefrod gasped. Few marines were even more stunned. No one thought that Ace, who was about to be executed had such a heavy identity.

They just thought that Ace's identity was Whitebeard's son. To deal with Whitebeard of the Four Emperors, Sengoku has spent a large sum of money. Unexpectedly, Ace would be Roger's son.

"So, Ace is the son of the Pirate King?" Perona couldn't help but exclaim.

This news is really shocking!

"That means, Whitebeard intends to train Ace to become the next Pirate King, so he brought him with him?" Robin suddenly thought of another possibility.

No wonder that the Marine Headquarters has prepared such a big battle for Ace. This news, starting from Marineford, swept across the world in an instant.
