Chapter 282: On the eve of the decisive battle at the top: The war begins!
Seagulls spread their wings and fly through the summer breeze, and the occupied Chabaoli Archipelago ushered in a long-lost tranquility.
On the seabed, four pirate ships covered with bubble film and shaped like whales were heading towards Marinford at a very fast speed.
Following closely behind was a fleet of more than 40 ships of various sizes under Whitebeard's command.
The deep blue seabed was densely covered with human fleets, and the fishmen lurking around were all looking towards the huge fleet of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Today is the day the Navy decided to execute the Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division, Flaming Fist Ace.
Over the past ten days, the wreckage of warships and rotting corpses have made the water in the deep sea of the Sabaody Archipelago extremely turbid.
"Is that Jinbei? He has sharp teeth and a murderous aura. It seems that he and the fishmen are responsible for the surrounding environment."
Edward Newgate sat in the Moby Dick, staring at Jinbei with red eyes in the sea ahead. Everything had changed and only endless violence and murderous aura remained.
For ten days, a massacre was carried out on the navy that was rushing to Marinford and passing through this area. Not only him, but also the murlocs he brought with him were also deeply affected by the killing.
After killing so many people, his heart became bloody and numb, and he gradually turned into a murderous monster who lost his mind just to achieve his goals.
"Jinbei is acting on his own again, Dad, but it's very unlike him to kill so many marines just to stop a war."
The captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' First Division, Phoenix Marco, analyzed.
In Marco's eyes, it is impossible for Jinbei, the sea knight who is based on benevolence and righteousness and roams the sea with chivalry, to go on a killing spree in the sea like this.
Not to mention that he is a Shichibukai who became a member of the government in order to protect Fishman Island.
This is completely different from the impression I have of Jinbei.
"Jinbei!" Whitebeard didn't think twice and shouted to Jinbei in the deep sea ahead through the bubble film:
"I didn't ask you to mind your own business. Even if you consider me, I won't stop!"
Hearing Whitebeard's voice, Jinbei turned around and looked in the direction of the large fleet he was in, and his demeanor regained its composure.
Groups of pirates poured into the waters of Malinford.
"Whitebeard Dad?! No, you're worrying too much. I'm not doing this for you!"
Whitebeard was stunned when he heard this. If it wasn’t for him, then who was it for?
Could it be... At this moment, Whitebeard's mind flashed with Arthur's crazy face.
"I have joined the camp of His Excellency the Lone Dragon, Father."
Jinbei clenched his palms and said this, the veins on the back of his palms bulging. He felt very guilty about doing this to Whitebeard.
The king of the fish-men, Neptune, is a good friend of Whitebeard, so Whitebeard used his own name to protect Fish-man Island for many years.
"Arthur? Jinbei...did he threaten you with anything?"
Whitebeard frowned and asked, the fleet behind him did not slow down.
"No, I volunteered, Dad." Jinbei replied. In fact, not only was there no threat, but it also gave the fish-men a better future.
"Well, you must have your own reasons for choosing this path."
The Moby Dick passed by Jinbei, dozens of pirate ships passed by him, and Whitebeard didn't say anything more.
As the war is about to begin, the captains of the pirate ships who are on good terms with Jinbe remain silent as they look at him in the deep sea.
"Sorry, Dad."
Jinbe apologized quietly, finding it hard to accept that he had violated the principles of humanity.
"It's alright, Jinbe." He stared ahead quietly, knowing that he had stepped into a place where it would be difficult to win the battle.
The strong smell of blood in the deep sea made the mermen increasingly out of control.
Above the deep sea, on a coast of the Chabaobab Archipelago.
Arthur stared at the movements underwater and used his powerful Observation Haki to observe the actions of the Whitebeard Pirates.
"I…feel the need to tell you something, dear."
Suddenly, an anxious Stussy came up behind him from the island. A big battle was imminent, and she felt it was time to tell Arthur the secret she had kept for almost twenty years.
Firstly, it was for the safety of the child. When she learned from Rayleigh and Xia Qi that Yalu was going to beat up Arthur to stand up for her, the severity of the situation was beyond her ability to hide.
This would cause Yalu to lose her life to Arthur in vain. She knew very well how cruel and cold-blooded Arthur was now.
"You've been acting very uneasy these days. What are you hiding from me?"
Arthur looked at Stussy and said, he always felt that something was not right. Stussy was a person who basically would not show any emotional fluctuations, but he seemed very anxious these days.
The cells in her body have been transformed, and all her nerves have been completely covered by Arthur's terrifyingly active cells. Shouldn't she be absolutely loyal to Arthur?
"I plan to hide until the end, dear, to give you a surprise." Stussy gently hugged Arthur from behind and said:
"But now I suddenly realize that I was wrong. I shouldn't have given birth to our son without telling you. I was too greedy, you know... I just wanted a child of you and me. I don't know why I was so eager at the time and couldn't curb this greed."
Arthur, who had a calm expression, suddenly widened his eyes.
What son? He didn't know anything about this.
"Son?" Arthur asked. "What are you talking about, Stussy?"
"I gave birth to him! You brought me into the castle and had sex with me and asked me to deal with it. I did nothing afterwards. I was selfish and greedy and got pregnant with your child. I gave birth to a lovely boy and named him Yaluo."
After hearing this news from Stussy, Arthur seemed extremely calm and asked:
"Yaluo? Where is he?"
"He has joined the navy, Arthur. I think the navy has discovered his identity and will use him against you."
Stussy said again, feeling certain that Arthur would care about this matter.
"Since you have joined the navy, you are our enemy." Arthur suddenly said coldly:
"I only have one method to deal with my enemies. You should know this clearly, right?"
"He is your own son! Arthur!" Stussy shouted with a look of despair on his face when he heard this, and tightened his grip on Arthur even more.
"People without feelings are not relatives even if they are blood relatives. You have to pay for the mistakes you made, Stussy. In name, you are just a toy and a tool of mine, but I still like you, this perfect toy."
Arthur's cold words made Stussy feel cold in her heart. It was not because of herself. As long as she could stay with Arthur, her inner desires would be satisfied. But she did not expect Arthur to look at what she said in this way.
"Yaluo is very good...really...he has perfectly inherited everything from you...Arthur...his genes are even stronger than yours."
Stussy said again, letting go of Arthur's waist with a dull look, taking a few steps back and falling heavily to the ground.
"I should recognize him the moment I see him."
Arthur knelt in front of her, pulled her into his arms and comforted her.
"Don't kill him, please, honey." Stussy's maternal love burst out at this moment. Her mind was filled with the scene of Arthur attacking Yalo, and she couldn't help but shed motherly tears.
"Go, notify everyone to assemble for battle. Whitebeard will be defeated in just a few hours against the navy."
