Chapter 1240 Be My Son (Part )

Immediately afterwards, these brave and fearless members of the Spade Pirates used their hands and feet to quickly climb up along the ropes.

Not long after, more than a dozen crew members of the Spade Pirates successfully boarded the deck of the Moby Dick.

They all held their heads high and stood there majestically, forming a sharp contrast with the larger Whitebeard Pirates on the opposite side.

Despite the disparity in strength between the two sides, the members of the Spade Pirates showed no intention of retreating.

"Hey, Whitebeard, let our captain go quickly! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"

Deuce's eyes widened and he roared loudly.

His eyes searched the crowd eagerly, and soon he found the figure wrapped like a mummy - it was Captain Ace, whom they had been thinking about.

"That's right, let our captain go!"

Although the crew members of the Spade Pirates were filled with fear and their legs were shaking uncontrollably, there was a determined light in their eyes and they shouted at the top of their lungs.

At this moment, those young faces revealed a resolute expression of facing death with indifference, as if they had already put life and death aside.

Whitebeard watched the scene with great interest, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

In fact, he had long intended to adopt Ace as his own son.

It's just that he doesn't know this young man Ace very well.

I just wanted to know what kind of person Ace is and whether he can shoulder the responsibility of being the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates.

He had many sons, but no heirs.

And Ace is his hope.

Now seeing such a group of guys who are obviously weak in strength - in Charlotte's words, they are simply a group of weaklings with no fighting power.

But such a group of weaklings actually stepped forward without hesitation to rescue Ace, even at the cost of their own lives. This is definitely not the courage and loyalty that ordinary crew members can possess.

Ace must have extraordinary charm and ability to have such a group of loyal subordinates.

Because this level of loyalty cannot be forcibly controlled simply by relying on interests or force.

Only true loyalty can enable a person to not retreat but to move forward courageously even when he knows that the enemy is extremely powerful and he has no chance of defeating it.

Thinking of this, Whitebeard became more interested in Ace.

Perhaps, this brave, fearless and charismatic young man will really become his successor in the future?

When the unbridled shouting of the Spade Pirates reached the ears of the other Whitebeard crew members, it was like a fire that instantly ignited the anger in their hearts, and they could no longer bear it.

"How dare you! This is not a place where you guys can act recklessly!"

With a roar, Thatch stepped forward, holding two extremely sharp kitchen knives that flashed with cold light, his eyes revealing a sense of determination and majesty.

When Deuce heard the scolding, he immediately turned his gaze to the person who said it - Sabo.

The current situation is unfavorable to our side, because the captain is firmly under the control of the other side. Our side is completely in a passive situation and dare not be too arrogant.

So, he suppressed the rage burning in his heart and tried to speak in a gentle tone: "We just want to bring back our captain, and we have no intention of becoming your enemy! For Ace's previous arrogant behavior, I sincerely apologize to you!"

However, his actions were seen as a sign of cowardice and fear by many members of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Humph, your captain is now in our hands. When we release him depends entirely on our mood!"

A burly white-bearded crew member shouted loudly.

"That's right, Ace actually dared to provoke our Whitebeard Pirates, and he deserved this fate!"

Another crew member with a fat face echoed.

"That's right, Ace, don't even think about taking your captain away again!"

For a moment, a group of crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates shouted at the same time, and the laughter echoed in the air.

Deus's originally calm face suddenly became so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it. His eyes flashed with anger and unwillingness as he stared closely at the group of smug people in front of him.

He clenched his fists, and the blue veins on the back of his hands bulged out like little green snakes, as if they could break free from the skin at any time.

"What do you want in exchange for letting Ace go?"

Deuce roared angrily, his voice was deafening, and the rage contained in it seemed to be able to burn the entire sea.

However, in response to Deus's question, the other party simply sneered disdainfully.

"Let go? Humph, why should I let go?"

The leader said with a mocking look on his face,

"This guy is usually arrogant and domineering, and now he has fallen into the hands of our Whitebeard Pirates. He still wants us to let him go. It's simply a foolish dream!"

"Yes, you absolutely cannot let it go!"

The others followed suit, laughing wildly, and the laughter pierced Deuce's heart like a sharp thorn.

Sachi, who was standing aside and watching coldly, raised the corner of his mouth slightly at this moment, and couldn't help but think of what happened a few days ago.

Some time ago, all major newspapers almost unanimously belittled and criticized the Whitebeard Pirates, causing the Whitebeard Pirates' reputation to plummet.

And all this is because of the group of ignorant little devils in front of them who are making trouble behind the scenes.

Sachi's eyes rolled and a plan came to his mind.

He crossed his arms, looked at Deuce and the others with an extremely arrogant attitude, and said slowly: "If you want us to release Ace, it's not completely impossible. As long as you kneel down immediately and say loudly in front of everyone, 'The Spade Pirates are trash, and the captain is a waste', maybe when we are in a good mood, we may return Ace to you."

After saying that, Thatch put the two swords back into his waist, then raised his head provocatively, waiting for the response from Deuce and his men.

As soon as this statement came out!

Whitebeard frowned, but soon relaxed and did not say anything to stop him.

He also wanted to see what choice the boy in front of him would make.

At this moment, Zeus was like a volcano about to erupt, with rage burning in his chest, but he just lowered his head silently, not letting anyone see his face distorted by anger.

His fists were clenched so tightly that his nails dug deeply into his palms and blood slowly oozed out, but he felt no pain at all.

In my mind, the scenes of my first meeting with Ace kept emerging like a tide.

At that time, they were full of longing and made an appointment to sail together on the vast ocean to pursue their own dreams and glory.
