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

Chapter 175 Misunderstanding
"Dad, are you sure that Mok is really the son of the Pirate King?" After the confused Mok left, Marco came over again, frowned, and said hesitantly, "After all, those are just rumors."

The words fell.

Hearing Marco's words, the thoughtful Whitebeard - Edward Newgate, withdrew his thoughts, looked at Marco in front of him, and after a moment of silence, said, "Some time ago, I met that old guy Garp in the waters near Fishman Island."

"Navy hero - Vice Admiral Garp?" Upon hearing his father's words, Marco's face showed surprise.

Then he seemed to remember something.

Some time ago, they held a banquet to celebrate the joining of the Ace brothers.

The Jinbe brothers were there at the time, but later, because of news that pirates were attacking the island where the Whitebeard Pirates were taking shelter, they were sent out. The same went for Thatch and Teach, who went to stop the DeCarban brothers, while he took the other brothers to another island. Therefore, he was indeed not with his father in the past few days.

I think Dad went to the waters near Fishman Island just to see Jinbe and his brother off during those days.

only.

Marco still frowned, and asked in a slightly serious tone, "Has the Navy Headquarters confirmed it?"

"It's not the Navy Headquarters, but that old guy Garp." Whitebeard sighed, shook his head, and said with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes, "If there is only one person in this sea who knows where Roger's child is, it's that guy!"

"..."

Marco also agreed with his father's words.

After all, the relationship between the Pirate King back then and the current naval hero was not simple.

Otherwise, which regular navy would not chase after other pirates, but only catch one pirate group, or even chase after one pirate?
The relationship between those two guys is not simple!

Both an enemy and a friend!
Therefore, it would not be surprising if the naval hero knew about this.

only……

Marco asked doubtfully, "Did that guy admit it?"

"No, he denied it!"

"???"

Denied?
Marco looked at his father with confusion, but before he could ask anything else.

Just listen.

The old man with white beard sighed slightly, and said with a melancholy and complicated tone, "It's just... he was silent at the beginning!"

As soon as these words fell.

"?!"

Hearing what his father said, Marco couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Although his father did not explain it clearly, he understood what he meant.

If the naval hero had directly admitted it or denied it at the beginning, they might still have some doubts, but that guy actually remained silent at the beginning? !
What is there to be silent about?
If not, just deny it directly.

Silence means that the naval hero hesitated in his heart when his father asked about the Mok brothers. Since he hesitated... then what was he hesitating about?
Is it really just because of a pirate?
and so……

Marco showed a bitter smile on his face, "Are Ace and Mok really... brothers?"

"..."

Looking at Marco who seemed to have figured it out, Edward Newgate sighed inwardly.

He hadn't expected that fate would play such a trick on him!
In fact, some other things happened at that time, but Edward Newgate did not tell them.

That is...

When he asked Karp, the guy was confused. Yes, he was confused in front of him!
From that moment on, he realized... this naval hero knew Mok, and they might even have a close relationship.

Otherwise, why would you bother and hesitate?

He also heard about what happened to Mok in the East China Sea.

He escaped from the hands of this naval hero when Mok's bounty was still low.

Now it seems...

This escape is probably not as simple as the two words suggest.

He also knew that Roger went back to the East China Sea to give birth to a child.

To be honest, when Ace first revealed that he was Roger's son, he was a little surprised, but he didn't care about it. As long as he recognized him as his father, it was enough.

But I never expected that Roger... actually had a son?!
This Roger is really something!
On the surface, he looked as innocent as a child, but when he was dying, he turned out to be so fickle? !

He didn't know what to say!
If we calculate the time, Mok should have been born before Roger turned himself in. Perhaps it was because of this that Roger turned himself in!

As for Ace, according to what Ace's child said, he was born two years after Roger's death!
So, this guy is too irresponsible! The child was already born, but he got another woman pregnant, and then he ran away and turned himself in? !

Of course, this cannot be blamed on Roger. I guess Roger doesn’t even know about this matter.

However, these two brothers...

Although only Ace recognized him as his father, as Ace's father, Whitebeard still did not want to see his two closest brothers killing each other.

Thinking of this, Edward Newgate rubbed his forehead again and sighed again, "These two brothers... are really a headache!"

"I don't think Dad needs to worry. I don't know what Mok thinks, but after spending some time with him, I believe Ace is not a cold-blooded person!" Marco smiled at Whitebeard, "Maybe Ace is actually very happy to see that he has such a brother?"

"Gulala, maybe it's just like what you said! A family should live in harmony and happily!"

"We will help the two brothers. Although Mok has not recognized Dad, in our hearts, the Mok brothers are already our brothers." Marco continued with a smile, "Of course, if Dad wants the two Ace brothers to reconcile quickly, there are ways."

"Oh?" Whitebeard looked at Marco in confusion, "What do you have in mind?"

"Tikki!"

"Tikki?"

"Yes, I think Teach seems to approve of the Mok brothers very much." Marco nodded and said with a smile, "And Teach has a good relationship with Ace, so maybe we can let Teach mediate the conflict between Ace and Mok and create more time for them to spend together. I believe that with Teach's personality, he should be very happy to do so. With the help of Dad and us, we will definitely be able to make Ace and Mok reconcile!"

"Teach?" Hearing Marco's words, Whitebeard frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

For some reason, he always felt that he couldn't understand his own child.

But the child didn’t do anything out of the ordinary!

He didn't know why he had such thoughts about his children?
Maybe he just felt it wrong!

"That kid is indeed honest and simple, and he has a good relationship with everyone on the ship." Finally, Whitebeard nodded and looked at Marco with a smile, "You can give it a try! Then I'll trouble you next, Marco."

"This is what I should do." Marco nodded with a smile, and then said, "It's getting late, I won't disturb Dad's rest. Dad, please don't drink secretly."

"Gulala, don't worry, you should go and have a rest too!"

"Good night, Dad."

After saying good night to Whitebeard again, Marco walked out.

only.

Just walked to the door.

Whitebeard's voice suddenly sounded again, "If possible, don't tell Teach about Ace's identity!"

The words fell.

Marco paused for a moment, his face blank, but after a moment, he nodded and said, "I see, Dad, you should go to bed early too! Good night!"

"Gulala, good night! My son!"

As Whitebeard finished speaking, Marco also walked out, but did not leave immediately. After standing at the door and thinking for a while, he sighed and walked towards the banquet.

At this time, the banquet was over.

Everyone on the deck was drunk and lying all over the place.

After seeing this, Marco shook his head helplessly, but didn't say much. He glanced around and finally found his target. He walked towards the side of the ship.

Ace and Teach are not drunk yet!

however.

Just as he was about to step forward, he seemed to hear something, and his steps suddenly paused slightly, with a dark look on his face.

Just listen.

Front……

Teach: Brother Ace, what's wrong with you?

Ace: I will never recognize that guy. Luffy is my only brother!
Teach: You hate the Mok brothers?
Ace: It’s not that I hate him, it’s just… I suddenly realized that there are people who are just as confused as me!
Tichy: ???
Ace: Actually... I'm the same as that guy, I'm also that guy's son!

Teach: !!!
Marco behind him: ...

Just cover your face.

Dad, I don’t need to say more.
