Chapter 517: Aren't you going to find your son?
Vegapunk stood at the edge of the dock.
The Sunny gradually disappeared from sight.
The old man looked away.
He looked down at the data panel in his hand.
Fingers swipe rapidly across the screen.
He muttered to himself rapidly.
"The cell recombination parameters in the physiotherapy chamber still need fine-tuning."
"The white-bearded man is very old; choose carefully."
"It will take some time for the red-haired man's left arm to regenerate."
He turned around.
"The defenses of Future Island need to be redeployed."
There are still many things that need his attention!
Vegapunk messed up his hair.
Keep moving forward.
He completely ignored the two people behind him.
Suddenly, only Chenye and Rocks remained on the beach.
The only sound at the dock was the wind.
Chen Ye stood still.
Rocks didn't leave either.
The two were about ten steps apart.
Rocks crossed his arms.
He took half a step back.
He turned his head away.
He twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Vegapunk's vanished without a trace. Are we still here enjoying the sea breeze?"
or!
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
Chen Ye turned around.
Facing Rocks head-on.
He didn't beat around the bush.
"You've been in this era for so long. And you haven't even once gone to see your son, Teach?"
The words are brief.
But it is extremely sensitive!
Like a sharp knife.
Get straight to the heart of the problem!
Chen Ye's tone was flat.
It's like talking about a small thing.
This was Chen Ye testing Rocks.
After all, Teach is a descendant of Rocks.
After Rocks was resurrected, he ignored him completely.
That's definitely a bit unusual.
In short.
Chen Ye broke through this barrier.
Rocks was stunned for a second.
Eyes squinted. Pupils contracted.
Then a rough laugh erupted.
Thief! Hahahaha!
Wandering on the empty dock.
Seabirds took flight in fright.
Rocks laughed for a full ten seconds.
It stopped.
He grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth.
"Do you think I've been sleeping all this time?"
He snorted coldly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
"I already asked that question a long time ago."
"What I need to know, I already knew a long time ago."
He straightened up.
"The people on Future Island aren't tight-lipped."
"A fair amount of newspapers have also been leaking in from outside."
"I can just grab a few people and ask them a few questions. I can piece together pretty much everything that's been going on for the past few decades."
Locke stared into Chenye's eyes.
His eyes were cold and sinister.
He already knew Teach's fate.
Do you know what that name represents?
I know what kind of storm that person stirred up.
He never mentioned it.
This matter was kept buried deep in my heart.
Just because it wasn't mentioned doesn't mean it didn't exist!
We're just waiting for the right opportunity.
Now Chenye has lifted the lid.
Chen Ye didn't reply.
Look at Rocks.
Wait for the other person to continue.
Before Chen Ye could ask any further questions...
Lox continued connecting the wires. His tone grew increasingly cold.
"That little beast has been lurking on Whitebeard's ship for so many years."
Locke uttered the words.
The words he uttered were sharp and icy.
"He killed his own comrade for a Devil Fruit."
Lockes' face was full of sarcasm.
"He betrayed the Whitebeard Pirates."
"Climbing up by stepping on the blood of our brothers."
"Everything that could be sold has been sold. Everything that could be betrayed has been betrayed."
There was no anger in Lox's voice.
Only utter indifference.
It's like evaluating an unfamiliar object.
"He died in the end."
Locke looked directly at Chen Ye's face, his gaze unwavering.
"He died at Whitebeard's hands. And at your hands too."
Lox paused.
He exhaled a breath of stale air.
"His heart meridian was completely shattered."
"His ambition rotted in the mud along with him."
This is not a verification.
Lox did not need to confirm the details.
He reiterated his stance.
This debt has been settled completely.
He had a deep understanding of Teach's life.
Greed. Despicable. The ultimate fate.
The matter is out in the open.
He wanted Chen Ye to know.
Rocks was not blind.
Chen Ye stared at Lockes' face.
He deliberately pressed for more details.
"But he's still your son."
In a word!
The atmosphere at the dock changed again.
The smile remained on Lox's face.
But his gaze turned colder.
Lockes took two steps forward.
Walk to the edge of the dock.
He gazed at the surging sea.
He spoke coldly.
"son?"
He scoffed. His laughter was full of disdain.
"I don't have a son like that!"
She turned her head, glancing at Chen Ye out of the corner of her eye.
Rocks's eyes were as cold and hard as iron.
The sound was like a blade scraping through the air.
"I know Whitebeard very well."
"That kid betrayed even Whitebeard, so he'll have to bear the consequences of betrayal."
Rocks turned around and faced Chen Ye directly.
"He's dead. That's the price."
Rocks only recognized power.
I despise betrayal. I despise those who die because of betrayal.
Chen Ye did not stop because of this statement.
Rocks was an extremely dangerous madman.
You can't believe everything a madman says.
The hidden dangers must be thoroughly investigated and eliminated.
Chen Ye took a step forward.
The leather shoes tapped crisply on the floor.
The distance was reduced to less than five meters.
He asked a more direct question.
"If anyone uses Teach's death as a pretext in the future..."
"Would you turn on me on the battlefield?"
It's no longer just casual conversation.
A blatant and direct interrogation.
The most likely points of landmine explosion on the Elbaf battlefield have been identified.
He cannot go to the battlefield carrying bombs that could defect at any moment.
If someone takes advantage of Teach's death to stimulate Lox.
What if they turn against us at the last minute?
Chen Ye must get an absolute answer.
The sense of tension is rising.
The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
After listening, Locke finished speaking.
Turn around completely.
He met Chen Ye's gaze directly.
Their gazes collided fiercely in mid-air.
Rocks grinned.
He revealed a ferocious smile.
"You've finally asked the right question."
He didn't answer immediately.
He raised his chin slightly.
His attitude was extremely arrogant.
He gestured for Chen Ye to finish saying the last sentence all at once.
moment.
Two terrifying auras erupted.
The edge of the Conqueror's Haki was being rubbed together.
Silent crushing.
A dark red aura rose from Lox's body.
Chen Ye exuded an invisible pressure.
The two forces were locked in a fierce struggle in the air.
The metal slab on the ground made a creaking sound, like teeth grinding.
The rivets could not withstand the pressure.
It shattered.
The fragments shot out in all directions like bullets.
It hit the guardrail and sparked.
The air was violently distorted.
Vision is blurry.
The thick iron chains along the edge of the dock vibrated and rattled.
They collided with each other. The sound of metal clashing was crisp.
Dust on the ground was stirred up by an invisible force.
It froze in mid-air. Instantly, it turned to dust.
The sea surface ripples were extremely chaotic.
The seawater was boiling and churning.
Deep-sea fish were stunned by the oppressive force.
The white bellies of the fish floated to the surface of the sea.
The sense of oppression reached its peak.
The clouds in the sky were torn apart.
It forms a huge vortex.
The center of the vortex was directly facing the two people.
Chen Ye looked up.
He stared intently into Rocks' eyes.
Their gazes showed no sign of yielding.
Standing straight in the distorted air.
The truth has been revealed.
"Do you want to avenge Teach?"
Ten characters.
Every word is piercing to the heart.
The atmosphere was initially tentative.
The urge to get started was immediately palpable.
Chen Ye's right hand hung down.
The muscles are in a state between relaxation and tension.
A posture that suggests the ability to draw a sword at any moment.
Rocks' smile faded.
The red glow in his eyes is getting stronger.
The dark red aura burned like flames.
The clanging of the chains grew louder and louder.
The waves crashed violently against the rocks.
The air between the two of them solidified into a physical form.
If even one word of Lox's answer is wrong.
As long as even the slightest hint of murderous intent is revealed.
Chen Ye will not hesitate to take action.
A fight could break out at the docks at any moment.
A life-or-death standoff.
The hidden dangers before the Battle of Elbaf.
It must be completely eradicated here.
