Pirates: Build a high wall from the East China Sea.

Chapter 174 That's Your Brother

Suddenly, he appeared, yelling something like "I will never recognize you! I won't recognize that guy either!", and then punched him with a flaming fist.

Mok was really scared at that time!

You have to know that he has been the overlord of the East China Sea for so many years, when has he ever encountered such a dangerous thing?

Fortunately, he was wearing the East China Sea Overlord Armor that Vegapunk made specifically for him.

This is not only warm in winter and cool in summer, but can also adapt to any dangerous environment and protect the life of the wearer.

So, even when facing Ace's fire fist, he was not injured anywhere.

He clasped his hands together and faced the terrifying flames, but was unharmed. Even after the flames disappeared, he still did not move a step.

This scene.

Everyone gasped and exclaimed, "Is that Haki? He's not afraid of Ace's ability?!", "Is this the strength of the East Sea Overlord? He was unscathed by Ace's fire fist. No wonder the Navy Headquarters was so nervous!", "He's indeed the son of that man!"

It was the last sentence that puzzled Mok. Until now, he still couldn't figure it out. He asked the boss Den Den Mushi in confusion, "Whose son? Have they seen my dead father?"

"..."

It seems that Mok is still unaware of the rumors on the sea.

That's right, let alone it's just a rumor, even if it was printed in the newspaper, with Mok's personality and habits, he probably wouldn't know it unless someone told him.

Xia Che looked at the Den Den Mushi in his hand in silence, raised his eyelids, and said, "Then what? Let's get to the point!"

"Oh, right, right, that's the point!" Mok, who was complaining, also reacted, scratched his head, and said with a smile, "After that, the fire man didn't attack again, and his friends also stopped him from attacking again."

Speaking of which, it’s strange.

These people are so enthusiastic!

It was obvious that he had never seen these guys before.

"Oh, right, then that Whitebeard showed up, too. Boss, he was really tall and big! As expected of the Sea Emperor, I was shocked, but..." He added angrily, "That guy actually shocked me with his domineering aura!"

According to Mok's words, the Emperor of the Sea - Whitebeard also arrived later.

He was riding on the Whitebeard Pirates' exclusive pirate ship, the Moby Dick, standing proudly on the bow.

Very big and very tall, taller than a giant bear!

only.

After seeing Mok, Whitebeard showed a hint of surprise on his face, and then, without waiting for Mok to say anything, he used his Conqueror's Haki on him.

It's really scary!
Fortunately, he had the East China Sea Overlord Armor made for him by Old Man Apple, which allowed him to hold on.

Even if he was knocked unconscious, he would not fall down.

Still standing with his arms folded.

Stand very straight!

Of course, this is not just because of the armor, but also thanks to the special training given to him by the boss, which made him familiar with the Conqueror's Haki. Therefore, even if he fell into a coma, he was quickly awakened by the East China Sea Overlord Armor.

Hearing this, Xia Che couldn't help but nodded to the East China Sea Overlord Armor made by Vegapunk.

According to Vegapunk's introduction at the time...

This armor not only enhances the user's strength, speed and defense, but also adds a self-regulating system for environmental factors such as temperature and gravity. Once encountering a harsh environment, it will self-adjust to allow the wearer to better adapt to the harsh environment.

Even if the Devil Fruit user falls into the sea, it will automatically activate and lead the wearer to the nearest detected island.

It can be said to be quite comprehensive and very suitable for today's Mok, greatly improving Mok's survival rate!
only.

The cost is also very expensive.

In addition, although this thing can enhance strength, speed and defense, if you encounter a truly strong opponent, you will not be able to defeat him and will be easily destroyed!
Of course, according to Vegapunk, this thing can be further modified, and even the bloodline factor theory-related technology can be added to make the armor more capable.

He also said that he also had relevant research data, which was left behind by a friend of his. His friend has done very in-depth research in this area.

If necessary, he could also do some research, that's it. The armor would be more expensive and would require a lot of rare materials, which made Xia Che feel quite regretful.

That’s right, if it was so easy to make, Vinsmoke Judge would have equipped all his android troops with it long ago!

But in the end, Xia Che still asked Vegapunk to do some research on it. It is better to have it than not. Maybe it can be useful in the future?

As for Mok...

After Whitebeard used his Haki, he stunned all the nearby crew members. A crew member with a golden punk hair on the ship was very helpless. He quickly asked his father to restrain himself. As a result, Whitebeard awkwardly withdrew his Haki after a while.

But seeing that Mok still remained proud and independent under his domineering attitude, standing with a domineering look on his face...

This scene.

Whitebeard's eyes flashed with a hint of nostalgia and recognition, and he said with emotion, "As expected of that guy's son!"

But Mok still looked confused.

what does it mean!

Could it be that this White Beard also knew his father?
Impossible!

But his father stayed on the island the whole time, and finally, he starved to death!
But before Mok could figure out what was going on, Whitebeard let out a unique laugh that only a strong man could make, and then invited Mok to be his son.

Only to be rejected by Mok.

Mok immediately stated firmly that he was the man who would become the Pirate King, so how could he recognize someone else as his father?

of course.

Mok, who had read the boss's Grand Line Survival Guide, was actually ready to kowtow and acknowledge his father.

According to what the eldest brother said, if he meets Whitebeard, he will recognize him as his father, and Red Hair will say that he knows Luffy. As for the King of Beasts and Big Mom, one has to go mining honestly, and the other has to become a son-in-law.

Just follow the instructions above. Even though it is embarrassing, there is nothing you can do about it. You have to do it to survive.

The most important thing is to survive.

But how could he, the overlord of the East China Sea, so easily recognize someone else as his father?

Do you accept someone's invitation just once?

Does he, the overlord of the East China Sea, still have any dignity left?
At least you have to recognize the next sentence!

however.

After he refused, except for the crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates who were angry and shouted "Only Dad is qualified to be the Pirate King!", Whitebeard did not look angry at all.

He even laughed out loud. But he said something strange, "He is really that guy's child, just as stubborn! He will stick to his dream no matter what he faces!"

"So, could it be that my starving father really knew this Whitebeard?" Mok Den Den Mushi asked Xia Che with a puzzled look, "But if that's the case, how could my father starve to death? What's going on, Boss?"

"That's not the point!" After listening to Mok's story, Xia Che's eyelids twitched again and he said unhappily, "So, you've solved your problem, why did you call me?"

"Hey, I just want to ask if I should acknowledge him as my father now? Is this a big deal?"

"Whatever you want! Just protect yourself!" Xia Che said helplessly, "Also, hide your devil fruit and don't let it get discovered. Also, be careful of that Blackbeard, because he's not a good guy. If nothing else, I'll die first."

"Hey, wait a minute, boss, there's one more thing!" Seeing that the boss was really going to die, Mok quickly stopped him and said with a smile, "Have you sold the foot bath bucket invented by Apple Head? I got a big order here."

"???"

"That white beard seemed very interested in my foot bath bucket, and his children were also very curious when they saw it. After hearing that it was good for the body, they secretly came to me and planned to pool their money to buy one for their father."

"..."

Good guy, I asked you to take risks and you went to do business?

Hearing Mok's words, Xia Che was stunned, and then quickly said, "Well done, I'll ship it to you later. Remember to keep an eye on it and don't let the order slip away. Tell them that we also have the [Father's Love] model, which was specially developed to thank fathers for their selfless dedication. If you order now, there will be a professional engraving master who will personally engrave their father's name on it, but the price is a bit more expensive."

"I guarantee to complete the task!" Hearing that there was a commission, Mok smiled even more happily. But after a moment, his face changed again as if he had discovered something, and he whispered, "Boss, someone is looking for me. It seems to be Whitebeard calling me! I'm hanging up!"

The words fell.

"dududu~"

He hung up directly, and Xia Che shook his head helplessly and put away the Den Den Mushi.

then.

He turned his head and looked at Teacher Zefa, who had been looking at him quietly since he made the call. There was a moment of hesitation on his face, but before Xia Che could speak.

Teacher Zefa at the side said directly, "Then the East China Sea Overlord is also your man?"

"Yes!"

"So..." After hearing what Xia Che said, Zefa smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I thought I was just lucky, but I didn't expect that everything was planned."

"Teacher Zefa..."

"It's okay, I just feel a little emotional." Zefa waved his hand, and then glared at Xia Che, "It seems that you have not only fooled the World Government and the Navy Headquarters, but even the entire ocean!"

"Hey hey hey."

"Okay, speaking of which, I have to thank the East China Sea Overlord. If it weren't for the East China Sea Overlord, I guess the World Government wouldn't let me go so easily." Zefa shook his head sadly, then looked at Xia Che, frowned, and said, "From your conversation just now, it seems that the East China Sea Overlord suddenly encountered Whitebeard. Is he in danger?"

"Probably not!" After hearing what Teacher Zefa said, Xia Che touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "Whitebeard has a pretty good relationship with the Pirate King, so he shouldn't attack a junior."

At most, it's just one more father.

……

at the same time.

the other side.

After hanging up the phone, Mok was led by the Whitebeard Pirates to a quieter corner of the Moby Dick, where Whitebeard had been waiting for him.

Although no one knew the reason, the Whitebeard Pirates held a special banquet to welcome him.

Most people are drunk now, so besides the guy with white beard, the only one in this corner is the guy with blond punk hair.

But...what are you calling him here for all of a sudden?
Do we have to ask him to recognize his father again?
Just when Mok was confused.

"Malco, go out and watch. Remember, don't let other children get close to here!" Whitebeard turned his head and looked at Marco, "I have something to say to this kid!"

"Yes! Dad!"

The punk-haired guy named Marco responded, then turned around and walked out.

Suddenly.

Mok and Whitebeard were the only ones left in this corner.

Whitebeard turned around, looked at Mok, and sighed, "Don't blame Ace, he just saw that you didn't understand it for a while."

Then, as if she had thought of something interesting, she smiled and said with emotion, "Back then, your father said he wanted to go back to have children. I didn't expect that guy to be so philandering!"

Portgas D. Ace!

Hegunlaangman D. mok!

You can tell right away that the two brothers have different mothers.

Then, Whitebeard lowered his head and looked at Mok again, sighed again, and said, "You should have guessed it now!"

"???"

Guess?

Guess what?
Mok looked at Whitebeard with confusion.

Ace?

That fire man?

He was indeed planning to give that fire man a good fight later.

Let him set fire to himself for no reason!

just.

Before Mok could say anything, Whitebeard seemed to have seen the confusion in Mok's eyes, and he couldn't help but curse Roger in his heart.

What the hell is going on!
As a father, how could he let his own children kill each other?

It is really unqualified!

But helpless...

"You shouldn't blame Ace. If you want to blame someone, blame your irresponsible father!" Whitebeard could only sigh again, with emotion in his eyes. He lowered his head and looked at Mok, saying, "After all, Ace is, but... your half-brother!"

The words fell.

Mok: ???
A dull look on his face.

What the hell?
