Chapter 220
Chapter 220
"Shhh..."
After Nami pointed it out, Rorschach suddenly realized... it seemed like a lot of his targets really were princesses.
Rebecca, Viola’s niece, was also a princess of Dressrosa. Yamato, far away in Wano, could also be considered a princess. And although the Pirate Empress wasn’t exactly a princess, she was the ruler of an entire country.
Perona, who liked dressing up like a princess and especially favored the princess-cut hairstyle, could also be counted as half a princess.
Emmmm... Now that he thought about it, he really did seem to have a bit of a princess fetish.
"Actually, it’s not really a princess fetish... After all, I have all of you too."
Rorschach said with a guilty conscience.
"All of us too? I feel like when you say that, we sound like accessories."
Veins popped on Nami’s forehead, and several well symbols appeared above her head.
"That’s not it. It’s just your imagination. Even if I do have a princess fetish, you’re still the most beautiful princesses in my heart."
"Baby 5 and Viola, I’ll leave them to you for now. I’m heading out."
Rorschach broke into a cold sweat, waved his hand, and immediately disappeared.
Never argue with women about this kind of thing. In the end, men will always lose.
"Tch. He ran away."
Nami clicked her tongue as she watched Rorschach flee.
Still, he had given a barely passing answer, so she decided to let him off this time.
"You two, come with me. I’ll explain the situation here to you."
Nami turned to the two women and spoke.
Both nodded. From the earlier conversation, it was clear that Nami was also one of Rorschach’s women — and had been one for much longer than them.
Since they were now on her territory and Rorschach had already left, they could only temporarily follow Nami to understand the place.
After flashing away from Dragon Roar Island, Rorschach appeared directly at Little Silver’s location.
The sudden presence startled the dozing dragon. Upon seeing it was Rorschach, it affectionately nuzzled against him and let out two calls.
"You’re still the best."
Rorschach stroked Little Silver’s smooth scales and sighed.
"This time it’s just the two of us going out. You have to show off properly and give me enough presence."
"Chirp."
Rorschach flipped onto Little Silver’s back. The dragon let out a burst of speed and instantly shot forward thousands of meters.
Since he was going to meet some old seniors, he naturally needed to bring enough presence.
There was nothing more flashy than riding Little Silver. Powerful, handsome, and invincible.
...
New World.
Aboard the Moby Dick.
All the division commanders had gathered. Everyone was looking at Whitebeard with serious expressions, waiting for him to speak.
Whitebeard sat in the main seat with a gloomy face, silent, as if deep in thought.
Even Rorschach and the others could learn about Ace’s execution from the newspapers. Of course, Whitebeard, with his vast influence, had already known about it immediately.
Just a few days ago, Shanks had come to persuade Whitebeard not to let Ace continue chasing Blackbeard, Marshall D. Teach. He had repeatedly emphasized how dangerous Blackbeard was. Because of this, Whitebeard had even exchanged a slash with Shanks.
And now, not long after, the Marines had announced that Ace would be publicly executed in seven days.
This perfectly proved what Shanks had said earlier.
Moreover, the Marines were openly provoking the Whitebeard Pirates. They had clearly set up a trap, waiting for Whitebeard to walk right into it.
Given his reputation in the New World, Whitebeard would definitely come. If he didn’t, then all the oaths he had made when forming his crew and his name in the New World would become meaningless.
"Pops, give the order! We have to rescue Ace! We can’t let the Marines succeed!"
Marco saw his father’s expression and thought he was hesitating about whether to save Ace. He immediately spoke anxiously.
"That’s right! Give the order, Pops! Ace is our brother! How can we just stand by and watch when our brother is in trouble?"
The other division commanders also agreed, strongly urging Whitebeard.
This showed the strong bond within the Whitebeard Pirates. No one was considering their own safety — they only wanted to save their brother.
"Don’t rush! Of course we’re going to rescue Ace! But we can’t act recklessly!"
"Based on what I know about Sengoku, he must have set up an inescapable net at Marine Headquarters. If we charge in blindly, we’ll suffer heavy losses. Ace is important, but I don’t want any of you to get hurt either."
Whitebeard and Sengoku were old rivals. He knew Sengoku’s methods very well. There was no one who understood this old opponent’s cunning better than him.
He hadn’t been hesitating about whether to save Ace. He had been thinking about how to save him while minimizing casualties for the crew.
Hearing this, the division commanders breathed a sigh of relief. Their father was still the same father they knew.
He was just being more cautious about the Marines’ provocation this time. Normally, he would have charged straight in without a second thought.
Perhaps the pressure from the Marines this time was simply too great, so he was now considering how to reduce losses and protect as many of his sons as possible.
However, Marco and the others couldn’t come up with a good plan at the moment. Because they were so worried about Ace, they immediately spoke up.
"Pops, you don’t have to worry about us. Ace is our brother. Fighting for our brother is worth it, even if we die."
Whitebeard looked at Marco and the others. Every one of them was smiling with determined eyes. For a moment, he burst into hearty laughter.
"Gurarararara... Marco, what nonsense are you saying? You’re all my sons! Isn’t it a father’s job to think about his sons?"
"We will definitely rescue Ace! But all of you have to come back safely too!"
"Pops~~~"
The division commanders’ eyes became moist. Some of the more emotional ones were already crying.
Their father cared so much about them. How could they not be moved?
"Don’t worry, Pops! We’ll definitely bring Ace back!"
Some of the crew members and commanders covered their eyes as tears kept flowing. They shouted in unison.
"Gurarararara."
Whitebeard looked at his sons with a gentle smile, his eyes filled with endless warmth.
For a moment, the scene was filled with fatherly love and filial piety.
However, at that moment, an untimely voice came from the sky above.
"Yo... This is really a touching scene."
