One Piece: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 248 surrender
Elliott is different from Adam, who had no choice but to die, and Theo, who tried to escape.

Although he is also a slave, he has already climbed to the second in command of the slave trader Meng Ji, relying on his own force.

As a slave, he is in charge of the open and secret slave trading business in many places.

Now he is resenting his life. In fact, if he is not afraid of death and swears to be loyal to Mengji, he can use the phone bug hidden in his chest to inform Mengji and them while Xiaohe's guards are about to turn around and retreat.

At the very least, this can eliminate part of this elite guard army.

But he can't do this, and if he does, it's no different from sending him to death.

After that round of artillery fire, among other things, his retreat, all the small sailboats and rafts on the seaside will be destroyed, because he is too close to the guards!
Watching Matsurize walking towards him step by step, Elliott was tangled in his heart.

The phone bug on his body was originally given by Mengji, which is to let him pass on messages at any time, and pass on the current news that he can die with the enemy together.

But now he has violated, violated Mengji's will, no matter what his situation is, he has committed a capital crime.

Because in the world of slave traders, there are two kinds of slaves, one is commodities, which are only transferred in their own hands, and the other is domestic slaves, who follow themselves and their descendants for a long time, even from generation to generation.

Regardless of the status of the slave, there is one thing that cannot be committed, and that is to disobey the order of his master.

Elliott, who is in a high position now, is no longer following his master to the death like he did back then.

He had his own thoughts, and at this moment, in his heart, he kept hypnotizing himself, recalling the crimes he had committed against him.

He has enslaved their family for generations, and he has lived under the coercion of Mengji since he was a child, living in fear.

Just like this time, it is obvious that they are just a wave of temptation, a wave of water testing, and they are just sending dead ghosts.

But when others excitedly asked him to follow, Mengji didn't hesitate, and asked him to come and die for the sake of the damn overall situation.

The past tenderness can be discarded in an instant, and a slave will always be a slave!
Matsurize was surprised. Someone in the slave army who had never regarded death as home actually knelt down and surrendered, and it was still a person like Elliott.

Elliott finally prepared himself for betrayal, so he let go of his weapon, knelt down facing Matsu Rize, buried his head deeply on the ground, and said.

"Dear warrior, I am willing to surrender to you, please accept me as a homeless person!"

Elliott was very sincere, but what he said about being homeless was an exaggeration. The exaggeration was that he still had a large family living in the power of Mengji.

A slave like him, in a high position, has all kinds of fetters or handles that are held by the big slave trader just like Adam who was forced to die.

But what makes Elliott different is that in the past, he deliberately showed how much he cherished his family.

In fact, he was originally a cold-hearted person, but he was just preparing to not be bound by more means, and to be able to betray with confidence in a day like today.

"What's your name?"

"Dear warrior, my name is Elliott."

"Devil Fruit Ability?"

"That's right, I'm a Canis Tibetan Mastiff."

"Tibetan mastiff, a very brave dog, no wonder you are so strong!"

The reason why Elliott is stronger than Theo and Adam is that, on the one hand, his own strength is stronger, and on the other hand, the Tibetan Mastiff Fruit is much stronger than the Tosa Fruit and the Filler Fruit, at least in terms of combat effectiveness!
Just when Matsurize and Elliott were talking about their daily life on the bloody battlefield, Mengji's shelling came.

This is all because Mengji saw Matsurize's guards withdrawing from the battlefield again, and soon after they withdrew, the smoke on the battlefield cleared, and they saw the few remaining slave troops.

As for Elliott and others, they are too far away to find them, and the battlefield has become such a virtue, even if Mengji is blind, he can guess that their situation is very bad.

So the rumbling artillery fire attacked.

"Let's go!"

Elliott was overjoyed, it was acceptance of himself.

With no time to think about anything more, Elliot hurriedly followed Matsurize to avoid the four-shot shells and ran towards the fortifications of the shipwreck port.

Along the way, Matsurize also defended Elliott from artillery fire from time to time.

After all, Elliott was seriously injured, and he didn't have the physical strength to use his knowledge and arrogance to avoid the galloping shells.

If you don't stand in the way for him, you can only watch him die under the fire of your own family.

Soon, Matsurize took Elliott back to the fortification, and they came to the command post deep underground together with Gerald, Abin, and Paul and his son.

"Mr. Elliot!"

"Yes Yes."

Facing Abin's questioning, Elliott seemed very docile.

"Your identity in the enemy army?"

"The second head of the Mengji family."

The power of the slave traders in the New World is very similar to the underworld prevailing in the West Sea. They manage things according to the family. Whatever the boss's name is, that is the family.

Even within a family, no one is related by blood, but as long as they admit it, they are the closest relatives.

Abin asked very detailed questions, including Muji's identity and fruit ability, and even Elliott who secretly peeped on the owner's wife taking a bath when she was a child.

Elliott breathed a sigh of relief. From the looks of it, Matsurize and the others were going to accept him. After all, he was not a weak fighter.

This made Elliott relax his vigilance, and even his previously tight wound began to bleed sporadically.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Paul, the commander of the guards standing behind him, attacked him.

A small knife was stuck in his chest, it was just a light cut and there was no serious injury.

This angered Elliot. He didn't understand why he was still like this when he was already like this. What kind of deep hatred was there that forced him to die.

He knew he couldn't beat Matsurize, and maybe even Gerald beside Matsurize.

But he was irritated, and he planned to take Paul and Abin, father and son, to the underworld together.

But it's too late, too late when you kneel on the beach!
What Paul inserted into his body was not a famous knife or sharp weapon, but a Hailoushi short knife, which was designed to attack devil fruit abilities.

This time, Elliott didn't even have the strength to kneel on the ground, so he could only collapse on the ground, looking at everyone in the room with hatred.
