Chapter 400: Shocked Garp and Zephyr
Whitebeard stood in front of Ace, lowered his head slightly, and looked at the young man in front of him who made him worried.
His eyes were full of love and worry, and that loving gaze was like warm sunshine, shining on Ace.
Whitebeard's eyes were full of concern, like a loving father looking at his injured child.
His voice was low and powerful as he asked, "What's wrong, Ace?" Those four simple words were filled with endless care and worry.
There was no trace of blame in his tone, only deep concern for Ace.
Whitebeard frowned slightly, waiting for Ace's answer. His heart was filled with worry, wondering what this young man had experienced that made him lose his composure like this.
Yamato's face was also full of anxiety, and her delicate features were slightly distorted by worry at this moment.
Her eyes were fixed on Ace, as if two flames were burning in her gaze, and she was eager to find the answer from his eyes.
Her eyes were like a sharp sword, trying to penetrate the fog in Ace's heart.
Yamato leaned forward slightly, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, as if he was nervous about Ace's condition.
Her breathing became rapid and her heart beat like a drum, and every beat was accompanied by concern for Ace.
"Ace, what happened? Don't scare us." Yamato's voice was full of anxiety and uneasiness.
Ace looked at Yamato and Whitebeard, his eyes filled with mixed emotions.
He spoke slowly, each word weighing a thousand pounds. "I saw Roger."
His voice was low and hoarse, as if he had used up all his strength to say this.
The voice seemed to come from a distant valley, carrying a sense of fatigue and vicissitudes.
Ace's lips trembled slightly, and his eyes wandered between Yamato and Whitebeard, as if seeking some kind of support.
Although his voice was not loud, it was like a thunder in the silent space, shocking everyone.
When everyone heard what Ace said, there was an uproar.
The sound was like a surging wave, sweeping across the entire venue in an instant.
People were whispering and talking to each other, with expressions of shock and disbelief on their faces.
Their eyes were so wide open that they seemed about to pop out of their sockets.
Some people opened their mouths so wide that an egg could fit in them, as if they were so shocked by the sudden news that they lost the ability to speak.
Their expressions were like frozen sculptures, filled with astonishment and confusion, as if they had heard a story from an Arabian Nights.
"What? Roger? The Pirate King Roger? How is this possible?" someone exclaimed, his voice full of disbelief.
"Did Ace see it wrong? Isn't Roger dead?" another person questioned, his face full of confusion.
"This is unbelievable, how could Roger suddenly appear?" Everyone shook their heads, unable to accept this fact.
Yamato and Whitebeard nodded at what Ace said.
Whitebeard's huge body moved slightly, like a towering mountain swaying in the wind.
His eyes revealed a deep thought, as if he was recalling past events related to Roger.
His gaze became distant and deep, as if he had crossed the barriers of time and space and returned to that magnificent era.
Whitebeard narrowed his eyes slightly, and the wrinkles on his face seemed like marks carved by time, each of which contained endless stories.
A complex emotion surged in his heart.
Whitebeard nodded slightly, the movement was steady and powerful, as if an ancient mountain was shaking slightly.
His eyes were deep and reserved, like a bottomless lake, making it difficult to fathom his true thoughts.
There was a calmness on his face that came from having experienced many vicissitudes of life, as if he was not surprised by the news.
Yamato, on the other hand, had a calm expression on her face; her delicate features were as perfect as a sculpture, without a trace of emotion.
Her eyes were clear and bright, and they only showed concern for Ace's condition.
She frowned slightly, her eyes fixed on Ace, as if trying to read the pain and confusion in his heart.
Yamato bit his lip gently, his heart filled with worry.
After all, she didn't know that Roger was Ace's father. She felt the seriousness of the matter more from Ace's reaction to this sudden news.
Her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and she secretly made up her mind that no matter what happened, she would stand by Ace and give him support and help.
Whitebeard frowned when he heard Ace's words.
As the overlord of the sea, he knows many unknown secrets.
There was a kind of majesty and depth in his eyes, as if he could see through everything.
Whitebeard lowered his head slightly and fell into deep thought.
He knew that Ace's father was Roger, and he had always kept this news deep in his heart.
For years, he guarded this secret like a precious gem.
He knew the importance of this secret, and also understood what kind of uproar it would cause once it was revealed.
A complex emotion surged in Whitebeard's heart, including worry, emotion, and a hint of helplessness.
"What did you say!" No one else reacted, but when Garp heard Ace say that he saw Roger, he was shocked.
Karp had been standing there steadily, like a solid fortress, but at this moment, he seemed to be struck by a sudden bolt of lightning.
His body shook violently, and the force made the ground beneath his feet seem to tremble slightly.
His eyes were as wide as two copper bells.
Those eyes were filled with shock and disbelief; the original firmness and composure in them were completely broken at this moment.
He stared at Ace, as if he wanted to confirm from Ace's face whether he had heard it wrong.
Karp's lips trembled slightly. He wanted to say something, but he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
As a naval hero, Garp once witnessed Roger being executed in Rogue Town.
That scene was deeply engraved in his mind, like an indelible brand.
He remembered that day clearly. The sky was so gloomy that it seemed to collapse, and the square in Rogue Town was crowded with people.
However, now Ace said he saw Roger. Garp couldn't believe that Roger was still alive.
His mind raced, trying to come up with a reasonable explanation.
Could it be that someone was impersonating Roger? Or was Ace mistaken? But Garp felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, because he knew that Ace would not easily mistake someone.
This news was like a huge rock, weighing heavily on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Garp clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, and his eyes revealed a hint of wariness and confusion, not knowing what impact this sudden change would have on the world.
Garp's hands were clenched into fists and his body was shaking slightly.
Not only Garp, but also Zephyr, who was once a marine, was shocked.
Zephyr was standing aside calmly with a serious and solemn expression. When he heard Ace say "I saw Roger", a look of shock instantly appeared on his face.
His eyes revealed shock and vigilance, and they were like two sharp swords, shooting straight at Ace, as if he wanted to confirm the authenticity of the news.
