Chapter 283: Final Battle on the Eve of Marineford: Luffy and Shanks Meet
Having said this, Arthur let go of Stussy.
He now found it a little ridiculous, just like in a story. Why should he let go of his years of suffering and let go of his feelings for a guy he had no feelings for and had never even met just because his son suddenly appeared?
He doesn't care about the name, appearance, inherited physique and genes.
"Then did you promise me?" Stussy wiped away her tears, and was eager to know the answer from Arthur to ensure her son's safety.
"I can't give you a definite answer. Promises change with actions and are not necessarily fulfilled, just like time. It's meaningless for me to promise you now. Besides, you gave birth to the child behind my back. In a sense, your greed created a person who shouldn't have been created."
Arthur's words came from the bottom of his heart, so his daughter naturally accepted them. She was obedient and well-behaved, and could accept it even when she knew that he was an unforgivable pirate.
Boy? Born secretly, he doesn't even know what he looks like, so there's no need to promise too much.
Because, apart from blood ties, there is no other emotion, we are just strangers.
"So, is that true?" Stussy calmed down and asked Arthur:
"You disappeared for so many years, and I also learned a lot of news from the CP intelligence agency. When I went to Egghead on a mission, I learned about the Seraphs... Is it true that Vegapunk injected your bloodline factor into the strongest human cloned by the bloodline factor of the former Seven Warlords of the Sea?"
As the first person to be injected with Arthur's cells, Stussy deeply understands how powerful they are. Not only can they maintain one's appearance, but they can also make ordinary people become like supermen through practice.
Over the years, Vegapunk's mastery of bloodline factor technology has reached the point where he can integrate Devil Fruit users into a device called Green Blood, which serves as the unique blood of Seraphim, allowing them to use the corresponding Devil Fruit.
"I think that the fact that you insisted on giving the order to allow a warship loaded with secret government weapons to pass through the Triangle Whirlpool a few days ago must be related to the Seraph, right?"
Arthur listened quietly to Stussy's words. He was no exception. Her analysis was accurate and that was indeed the case.
"When Zhan Guo thought that apart from the Five Elders, those terrible AI weapons would only obey his orders, he was too naive. His idea of using the Seraphs to turn the situation around was just the last straw that broke the camel's back."
Arthur added that there was no secret to be hidden.
"So!" Stussy was shocked and asked, "You can easily destroy the Marine Headquarters, why do you want the two Four Emperors and everyone to follow you..."
"Go do your work, Stussy, and stop talking." Arthur smiled at him:
"You don't need to know too much. Just wait and see how the future changes me. After tomorrow, the Navy Headquarters, not Marinford, will sink to the bottom of the sea forever."
If it was just to deal with the navy, Arthur would not need to call so many people for help. Just him and Cooper would be enough.
Those guys who hold high positions in the world do not consider the overall situation of this war and their own interests, waiting for a blow they cannot afford.
Stussy was stunned for a long time before coming to his senses and realized that as long as he obeyed Arthur in everything, he could get whatever he wanted.
I somehow feel that he is being too meticulous now.
"Do we need to mobilize all the troops?" Stussy stopped questioning and asked with his mind suddenly opened.
"After thinking about it, I decided to only let Kaido, Big Mom, Enelu, Barrett, and Mr. Rayleigh follow me."
"I'll leave the rest of the army and organization members to you, Xia Qi and Gion. Let the Sabaody Archipelago run smoothly."
Having more people would not do anything but would become a burden, Arthur knew this very well, and he had enough fighting power and manpower without an army.
"Arthur, for my sake, don't do anything to Ya Luo. He really is a good boy."
"I'll think about it. Go now. Remember, don't leave Cooper too far. He will keep you safe."
After explaining, Arthur glanced towards the top of the red earth continent in the sky. He had waited for this day for too long.
The triangular vortex area near the Grand Route and the calm zone.
The Red Hair Pirates are hiding in the Calm Belt, waiting for news on their flagship, the Dreyfus.
"There are a lot of ships moving on the seabed, Boss. It looks like the Whitebeard Pirates have already taken action."
Jesus was on the lookout, reporting the news to everyone on deck.
Shanks cares more about whether Arthur has started to take action than this.
Boom! From the distant sky, a gust of wind howled, startling everyone and they looked in the direction the wind came from.
"The wind is created when there is no wind? What a joke..."
"No, there is something in the office far away flying towards this direction very quickly!"
"It's a ship, a ship!"
Jesus turned the sniper rifle telescope and immediately looked in that direction. He was startled to see a ship with a black sail and the flag of the revolutionary army.
The bow of the Revolutionary Army warship, led by Drago himself and some cadres, flew to this sea area.
On the left and right sides are Straw Hat Luffy and his sworn brother Sabo.
"It's the revolutionaries!" Jesus shouted.
Facing this unexpected organization, Shanks turned and looked at the ship they were flying towards.
"Why are the Revolutionary Army here? Isn't that Luffy next to the leader of the Revolutionary Army...?"
When the Red Hair Pirates were confused, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon, naturally discovered them.
The revolutionary warships also stopped above the Dreyfus.
"The Four Emperors... Red Hair?" Dragon looked at Shanks and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
I don't understand why he appeared in this place.
Both sides fell into silence, neither knowing the other's intentions.
"Red hair?" Luffy, who was standing on the right side of Dragon, was startled. He lay on the bow and stretched his neck out into the air. When he saw Shanks, he smiled broadly:
"Haha! It's Shanks! Why are they here, Dad? Are they here to save Ace too?"
"Luffy...?" Shanks also noticed Luffy, and his serious expression suddenly turned into a smile:
"This is not the same as what was agreed..."
"Go down quickly, Dad! Shanks is not a bad guy, I know him."
"To come into such close contact with the Four Emperors... is too stupid..." Sabo said to Luffy.
In order to develop, the Revolutionary Army offended not only the navy and the government, but also various forces in the sea, and the Four Emperors were one of them.
"The Navy, Whitebeard, and Arthur are at war at the same time. He must have a purpose for appearing here. I'm afraid he poses no threat to us. We might as well go and take a look. Knowing his purpose will help us predict his next move."
Dragon said, and then controlled the power of the fruit to make the Revolutionary Army warship land steadily on the sea near Dreyfus.
Since the leader had spoken, naturally the others had nothing to say.
As soon as the ship fell into the sea, Luffy stretched out his arms, grabbed the mast of the Red Hair Pirate Ship, and swung directly onto the other side's deck.
"Hahaha, Shanks!"
