One Piece: The system is only activated after leaving the Navy.

Chapter 141 Background

Zhan Guo stared solemnly at the crowd before him, his gaze slowly sweeping across each person's face.

"This seemingly ordinary woman has actually successfully deceived all of us, and it could even be said that she has blinded the entire world."

At this point, Sengoku paused slightly, seemingly giving those present some time to process what he had just said.

Then, Sengoku continued.

"In the South China Sea, there exists an island called Baterilla. And Ace's mother, Portgas D. Rouge, came from that place."

The moment the name "Portgas D. Rouge" reached Ace's ears, his pupils widened and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

However, Sengoku did not stop telling the story because of Ace's reaction.

Sengoku then continued:

"This woman's actions are simply beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. To protect her unborn child, she managed to keep the fetus in her womb for a full 20 months!"

As Zhan Guo finished speaking, the entire place fell into a deathly silence.

The crowd below the stage looked at each other in disbelief, their faces filled with astonishment and shock.

They couldn't imagine that a woman could possess such a strong will and determination to do such an astonishing thing.

The Warring States period then slowly began to speak.

"She gave birth to you with all her might, but she was also exhausted from overwork and weakness, and ultimately lost her life on the spot."

He took a deep breath, turned his gaze to Ace, and continued his story.

"One year and three months after your father's death, a baby carrying the most evil bloodline in the world was born."

The voice of the Warring States period echoed in the air, carrying a heavy weight.

"And your father is none other than the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger."

At this moment, Garp listened quietly to Sengoku's words, his thoughts drifting back to the scene in the prison cell.

At that time, Roger, in his cell, looked at his unborn child with deep concern and reluctance, and earnestly asked Roger to take good care of his child, after all, the child was innocent.

Now, all of this has been made public, and the secrets that were once hidden in the dark corners have finally been revealed to the world.

As the Warring States period recounted this story, the whole world seemed to freeze.

People witnessed the revelation of this shocking truth through live streaming, and were all stunned and shocked.

Immediately, a flood of opinions arose, with some expressing amazement, others disbelief, and still others deeply moved by this twist of fate.

Just as people all over the world were engrossed in a heated discussion about Ace's origins, Sengoku continued with a solemn expression.

"Two years ago, Ace embarked on a voyage. He abandoned his biological father's surname and instead took his mother's name, and subsequently founded the renowned Spade Pirates."

At this point, Sengoku paused briefly, looked around, and continued.

"However, just as you were roaming the world and becoming renowned, our naval high command gradually realized a startling fact—Roger's powerful bloodline had not been severed! At the same time, Edward Newgate, the white-bearded naval officer, also realized this situation as we did."

Sengoku took a deep breath and raised his voice.

"In order to train you to become the next Pirate King, Whitebeard did not hesitate to accept you, the son of his former enemy, onto his ship."

Before he could finish speaking, Ace roared furiously.

"No! That's not true at all! The reason I chose to join my father's crew is to help him become the Pirate King!"

Ace's roar exploded in the air, making everyone present's eardrums buzz.

Sengoku stared at Ace with a serious expression and retorted without any politeness.

"Only someone as naive as you would think that! The truth is, the reason we can't easily lay a hand on you is entirely because that old man with the white beard is protecting you!"

"If we were to leave you to your own devices and let you develop unchecked, with your talent and potential, you would surely rise to the pinnacle of the next generation of pirates! That is why taking your head here today has extremely significant strategic importance for the entire Navy!"

Then, the Marines in the plaza noticed that many pirate ships had suddenly appeared in the distance on the sea. The Marines discovered that these were the ships of various famous pirate crews in the New World.

These ships have different designs, but all of them demonstrate the power and domineering presence of the Whitebeard Pirates.

What they have in common is that they are both under the command of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Not long after, the once calm sea in the bay directly in front of the Naval Headquarters Plaza suddenly underwent an astonishing change.

A huge and unique ship slowly emerged from the deep seabed.

This ship is none other than the famous flagship of the Whitebeard Pirates—the Moby Dick.

It resembled a massive whale, majestically bursting forth from the water, raising rolling waves and white foam.

Sengoku, who was standing on the viewing platform in the distance, witnessed all of this and his face showed an expression of disbelief. He was also deeply shocked.

He never expected that Whitebeard and his crew would choose to emerge from the seabed with a coating; it was completely unexpected.

It should be noted that before this, he had meticulously deployed numerous naval fleets to stand ready on the sea, attempting to block the Whitebeard Pirates' advance.

However, Whitebeard's unexpected appearance has undoubtedly disrupted his meticulously planned battle strategy.

Sengoku never expected that Whitebeard could invade such a close place.

On that massive ship, the 14 renowned captains of the Whitebeard Pirates stood in neat rows.

At this moment, Whitebeard held an extremely sharp long sword, and his tall and imposing figure was slowly moving forward.

Each step was steady and powerful, carrying an irresistible majesty.

When he finally reached the bow of the ship, his eyes blazed as he gazed into the distance, where Fleet Admiral Sengoku was located.

"Warring States period, it's been decades since we last met!"

The white-bearded man's booming voice rang out, echoing in the air like rolling thunder.

"My dear son, are you alright?"

Upon hearing Whitebeard's words, Ace felt an indescribable surge of excitement.

His eyes were filled with tears as he shouted loudly.

"Dad!"

Whitebeard boldly plunged his long sword into the bow of the ship with a loud clang.

Then, he spread his arms, clenched his fists tightly, and instantly activated the astonishingly terrifying power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

In an instant, the entire atmosphere seemed to be torn apart, and shocking cracks appeared out of thin air.

As Whitebeard's power continued to erupt, the Marine Headquarters began to tremble violently, and the originally sturdy buildings became shaky and on the verge of collapse.

At the same time, towering waves surged on the surrounding sea, forming two massive currents that swept towards the naval camp with overwhelming force.
