The strongest warehouse manager of the Straw Hat Pirates

After everyone's excited expressions, white-bearded Edward Newgate showed a pleased smile.

He nodded slightly, sat down, and said in a low and firm voice: "In that case, let's disperse first! Scuyard, you stay for a while, and the others will start preparing as planned!"

"Yes! Dad!!!"

"Don't worry, Dad!!!"

“We will not let you down!!!”

"..."

Everyone's responses were full of respect and determination, and their eyes shone with determination.

Afterwards, the captains of the dozens of Whitebeard's pirate groups greeted Whitebeard one after another, then turned and returned to their pirate ships.

Whitebeard sat there quietly, with a hint of exhaustion and helplessness in his eyes. He silently watched his sons leave one by one. Their health is getting worse and worse. After this time, I'm afraid they can only rely on themselves.

Skuard walked up to Whitebeard. Although he was a little confused, he still said respectfully: "Dad, if you have any orders, just tell me."

Whitebeard sighed, stared into the distance, as if recalling the past years, and spoke slowly: "Skuyard, I remember that you used to have a grudge against Roger."

There was emotion in his tone.

A trace of surprise appeared on Skuard's face, his brows furrowed slightly, and his thoughts were pulled back to the past by Whitebeard's words.

Nodding, he replied in a low voice: "That's true. But, Dad, is there any special reason why you suddenly mentioned this matter?"

His eyes were full of doubts, and he didn't understand why his father mentioned that old past at this time.

Whitebeard was silent for a moment, "In the morning, a person contacted me and told me something. I thought about it, now that we are going to rescue Ace, maybe it would be better to tell you directly about something."

"Ah? Dad, you can just say whatever you want. Don't you still trust me? No matter what happens, I will not stop my determination to save Brother Ace! Hehe..." His tone was firm, Revealing his loyalty to Whitebeard and his concern for Ace.

There was a trace of hesitation in Whitebeard's eyes, but he decided to speak frankly.

"What if I say that Ace is Roger's biological son?"

These words were like thunder, exploding in Scuyard's heart.

"Wha...what!!!"

Scuyard's face was filled with shock and disbelief.

His eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly, as if he was struck speechless by the news.

Ace turned out to be the son of his enemy, Roger. This news was too sudden for him.

......

(Let's move forward in time)

Windless Zone, Nine Snakes Island, in a cell.

Luffy stretched and sat up from the floor.

"Huh~~ I slept so comfortably."

Outside the iron bars of the cell, dozens of people were crowding around, looking curiously at the cell.

These are the members of the escort who came here after hearing the news and wanted to see what the man looked like.

"Eh? Is this a man?"

"It seems to be no different from us. They have one nose and two eyes."

"It doesn't look like the evil spirit in the legend."

"His chest is so flat! Is it because he has never had enough food to eat, causing his development to be stunted?"

"so poor..."

"..."

Luffy blinked, looking at the excitement of these women outside the fence in confusion, and said to himself.

"I remember not being in a forest. Why are you here?"

"The eyes of these women are so strange!"

"Ignore this for now, where is this place now? What should I do?"

"Eh? By the way! Yu Chen seems to have said that if I get separated from them, just open the note and have a look."

Luffy took out two pieces of paper stacked together from the straw hat on his head.

One of them is Ace's life card. Although there are still faint sparks on the life card at this moment, the paper area is larger than before.

Apparently Ace's physical condition has recovered a bit now.

The other one was given by Yu Chen to Luffy for safekeeping before the Thousand Sunny arrived at the Red Earth Continent.

With a gentle spread, the contents on the note appeared completely in front of Luffy's eyes.

"Kuji Island, ask the pirate empress Boa Hancock to help enter Impel Down and save Ace and Jinbe!"

Jinbei? My future helmsman? ! ?

Like Ace, was he also arrested? ! ?

"Damn it! I must save them!!!" Luffy shouted and rushed towards the iron railing, "Let me out quickly!!!"

"Ah!!! The man suddenly started to move on his own!!!"

"How scary!"

"Bang bang bang..."

Seeing that no one opened the door for him, Luffy's head began to bang against the railing anxiously.

"The iron railings are about to be broken!"

"Men are so cruel to themselves!!!"

......

In the distant Xiangbo Land, the sun rises slowly in the sky, like a huge fireball, emitting warm and dazzling light. This light gradually spread to the earth, illuminating every corner.

And the Fishman Island under the deep sea also ushered in daytime. The sunlight shines through the deep blue water and shines on the coral reefs and colorful fish schools of Fishman Island, like a beautiful picture.

After Yu Chen got up and washed up, he came to the gate of Dragon Palace City under the leadership of Xiao Ba.

As Tiger's little brother, Xiaoba still has some status here in Neptune.

At the city gate, a guard smiled and said to Xiaoba: "Brother Xiaoba, if you want to see His Majesty, His Majesty has agreed. You can go in at any time. But this human next to you..."

Having said this, the guard's expression gradually became serious.

He turned to stare at Yu Chen and said in a stiff tone: "Please tell me why you are looking for His Majesty. After I ask for instructions, if I get His Majesty's approval, I will naturally let you in."

The guard's tone was filled with unkindness and even some obvious hostility.

Yu Chen couldn't help but be stunned after hearing what the guard said.

Only then did he remember that in the eyes of the people on Fishman Island, their beloved Princess Otohime was assassinated by a human.

In addition, the ongoing slave trade has caused many compatriots on Fishman Island to suffer...

This hostility is not difficult to understand.

He did not choose to force his way in, and was prepared to solve the problem at hand in a gentle way.

With the corners of his mouth raised slightly, Yu Chen showed a faint smile, and spoke with sincerity in his eyes.

"It's best that you don't know the specifics. However, you can tell His Majesty Neptune that something happened to Jinbei."

When the guard heard this, he had a shocked expression on his face and his mouth opened slightly.

Before he could ask anything, Xiaoba beside him started shouting anxiously.

"What!!! Something happened to Boss Jinbei!"

"Yuchen! What's going on! What happened to boss Jinbei!!!"

"Speak quickly, Yu Chen!"

Xiaoba's voice was almost pleading, and his mood was extremely anxious. Every second of waiting was like torture.
