One Piece: Surrounded at Marineford? Just kidding!

Chapter 70 Secret Report!

boom!

The dull thud sounded like two iron plates colliding.

The deck beneath Chen Ye's feet groaned under the weight, slightly caved in.

Marco's eyelids twitched as he watched.

He knew perfectly well the power of his father's slap!

An ordinary person would probably have several bones broken if they got slapped by their father.

But Chen Ye only swayed slightly before standing firmly.

"What a monster..."

Marco gave a bitter laugh to himself.

Compared to Chen Ye, a true monster, I, a phantom beast, seem more like an ordinary person.

Chen Ye looked up and met the white-bearded man's eyes, which were full of approval and trust.

"Dad, your strength is much better than before."

"Gurarararara!"

"Kid, your physical strength is pretty good too."

The white-bearded man's eyes showed even greater approval.

He withdrew his hand, and his mountain-like body slowly turned around, casting a huge shadow over the two of them.

"You two, come with me."

His voice remained steady, yet carried an unquestionable air of authority.

After saying that, he took heavy steps and walked straight toward the captain's cabin.

Chen Ye and Marco exchanged a glance and immediately followed.

squeak-

The heavy wooden door was closed, shutting out all outside sounds.

The captain's cabin was dimly lit.

The air was filled with the rich aroma of spirits and the unique scent of old wood.

The room's layout was extremely simple, or rather, domineering.

An enormous, exaggeratedly large round wooden table occupied most of the space, and on the tabletop was a state-of-the-art world map, covered with densely packed symbols and arrows marked in red marker.

All the arrows ultimately point to the same place—

Marine Headquarters, Marineford!

This is the heart of the Whitebeard Pirates, the highest command center that decides the life and death of countless people on this sea!

The white-bearded man walked to the head seat, and the huge chair, custom-made for him, groaned as he sat down, seemingly unable to bear the weight.

He didn't speak immediately, but simply leaned the "Murakumogiri," one of the twelve Supreme Grade Swords, casually against the side of the chair.

Then, the white-bearded man's gaze, sharp as a hawk's, swept across the large map table and landed directly on Chen Ye and Marco.

The room fell into a deathly silence.

Only the old-fashioned clock hanging on the wall was ticking.

Marco could feel uncomfortable just by standing there.

This was one of the few times Dad showed such a serious expression.

Although his father didn't say anything, he could feel an unprecedented pressure.

That was the final calm before a world-shaking war was about to erupt.

He couldn't help but turn his gaze to Chen Ye beside him, only to find that the other party still had that calm and composed demeanor.

Marco was genuinely impressed by this composure.

Finally, the white-bearded man slowly spoke.

His voice was no longer the loud, booming voice it once was; it had become much lower and deeper.

"Speak."

"How's it going?"

He paused, a complex and slightly doubtful glint in his eyes.

"That old devil Rayleigh from the past..."

"And then there's that future Straw Hat Boy, whom even I've never seen before..."

"Have they both agreed to help?"

Upon hearing this!

Before Marco could speak, Chen Ye preemptively gave his answer in a resolute tone.

"Don't worry, Dad."

Chen Ye's voice was calm yet powerful, carrying a strong sense of confidence that could soothe the soul.

"Task"

"Successfully completed!"

Marco immediately straightened his chest and loudly echoed with all his might.

"That's right, Dad! We've got it all sorted out!"

"We're just waiting for the war to begin!"

Chen Ye replied, a cold smile curving his lips, his eyes flashing with a fanatical fighting spirit.

"We've already made an agreement with them!"

"We're just waiting for the war horns to sound!"

"At that time, we will definitely present the Marine Headquarters and the World Government with something they will never forget..."

boom!

The moment he finished speaking, the domineering aura of a king descending upon the world erupted from the white-bearded man!

"Guralalalalalala!"

A deafening burst of maniacal laughter instantly filled the entire captain's cabin!

The wine bottles on the table were buzzing!

The paintings on the wall are shaking violently!

The entire Moby Dick seemed to tremble at the sound of laughter!

This is laughter from the heart, filled with boundless pride and anticipation!

"Good! Good! Good!"

The white-bearded man said "good" three times in a row, and his sharp eyes shone with an unprecedented brilliance!

"Then I'll look forward to it!"

He looked at his two sons, the sternness in his eyes slowly fading, replaced by that familiar gentleness and love.

His gaze swept over the two men, finally settling on Marco, whose mental state was clearly somewhat listless.

"You two have worked hard this time too."

The white-bearded man spoke slowly.

"Especially you, Marco, judging from your appearance, you must have experienced quite a few unbelievable things following this kid Chen Ye."

Upon hearing this, Marco immediately gave a wry smile.

It's more than just unbelievable.

It was as if his worldview of the past few decades had been repeatedly rubbed into the ground and then crushed to pieces!

"Go."

The white-bearded man waved his hand.

"Go back and get some rest, recharge your energy."

"The real battle is about to begin!"

"Yes, Dad!"

Marco bowed respectfully.

He was indeed feeling physically and mentally exhausted, his mind was a complete mess, and he desperately needed some time alone to process this extremely bizarre journey.

He turned around and walked towards the door.

However, after taking two steps, he realized that there were no footsteps behind him.

Marco looked back in confusion, only to find that Chen Ye was still standing in the same spot, showing no intention of leaving.

"Tatsuba?"

Marco asked, somewhat puzzled.

Chen Ye did not answer him, but simply stared quietly at the white-bearded man on the throne.

The white-bearded man also put away his smile, and his deep eyes also fell on Chen Ye, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Marco's heart skipped a beat, and an idea popped into his head uncontrollably.

Is it...

What other secret weapons does Chen Ye have?

"You can go out now, Brother Marco."

Chen Ye finally spoke, his voice calm.

"I have one more very important thing to report to my father alone."

really!

He looked at Chen Ye's calm face, then at the white-bearded man's thoughtful expression, and finally didn't ask any more questions.

"Okay, I understand."

He nodded, silently opened the door, and went out.

Squeak—bang.

The heavy wooden door closed again.

Once again, only Chen Ye and Whitebeard remained in the captain's cabin.

That suffocating silence returned.

The white-bearded man leaned back in his chair, his huge fingers tapping unconsciously on the armrests, making a dull thud.

He looked at the young man in front of him and spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of curiosity.

"Speak."

"Hey kid, what else do you want?"
