Creating Manga Of One Piece In Pirates World Become My Ultimate Goal! - Chapter 693
The Whitebeard sat with his companions in their favorite seats at the art store, the big smile on his face easing the tension from the hearts of the people outside who came to Sphinx for the art store.
“Oh, Sengoku, Garp as well…”
“Hmm, I wonder what Sengoku wants to say at this crucial moment…”
“It doesn’t matter, my dear. When the time comes for you to arrive here, everything will be over for them.”
Buckingham Stussy was confident in the strength of her lover, even if he had become very old in the manga, he was still the indomitable Edward Newgate in her eyes.

Chapter’s Events:
—————————
[Marineford]
“I’m going to tell them everything, All right, Garp?”
Sengoku spoke to Garp, who responded with annoyance:
“Do what you want, I’ll be below.”
Saying that, Garp jumped from the execution platform, then Sengoku sat near the bound Ace, and ordered the executioners to step back for a moment:
“Step back for a moment.”
“Yes, sir.” The executioners nodded obediently and stepped back.
…
“It’s Fleet Admiral Sengoku!!”
“What?”
The soldiers below felt surprised after seeing the Fleet Admiral also joining the war-formation.
…
“Give me the den den mushi…”
Sengoku held the den den mushi that would transmit his voice to the many speakers in the square so that everyone could hear it clearly, whether present here or watching the live broadcast.
“Gentlemen, I have something to tell you.”
“Portgas D. Ace… This man will die here today. And there is a great meaning in that death…!!”
…
Upon hearing this, Tsuru looked towards Garp and said:
“None of this is your fault…”
“Buwahaha, why’re you being nice to me at a time like this, Tsuru?” Garp laughed.
…
“Ace, say the name of your father!!” Sengoku ordered.
…
“His father?”
“Is this the time for that…?”
The soldiers who heard this were surprised.
…
“My father… is Whitebeard!!” Ace answered.
“No!!!”
?Sengoku refused Ace’s answer, which made Ace enter into a fit of anger:
“It’s true!! The only father I have is Whitebeard!!! Nobody else!!!”
•———•———•———•———•
At that moment, Whitebeard stopped smiling, and his sons’s moods changed as well.
Seeing this, Buckingham Stussy felt worried:
“Even in the face of death, he still acknowledges only you as his father, my dear. Ace deserves you to come and save him.”
“Does Sengoku want to reveal the painful truth to the boy in this manner… What a wicked villain, Sengoku… I didn’t know you had such a nefarious personality.”
Whitebeard felt enraged; he wanted to crush Sengoku’s mouth at that moment.
“Why doesn’t Garp do anything? Isn’t Ace his grandson?” Marco felt the weight of Garp’s inaction.
Marco wasn’t the only one who felt Garp’s incapacity; most readers could see it from Tsuru’s previous consolation, when she said that none of this was his fault.
Whitebeard and those with him continued reading the chapter amid a clear silence, as everyone was immersed in the unfolding events and revelations.
The more Whitebeard read, the more the smile faded from his face. When Sengoku revealed everything, Whitebeard sighed.
“Sigh~ I wonder how Roger and Rouge will react after seeing this.”
“This…” Buckingham Stussy placed her hand over her mouth in disbelief.
What Sengoku had just said about Rouge’s sacrifice turned her world upside down.
At that moment, readers’ gasps were heard everywhere. Everyone had read it more than once, thinking they had misunderstood it.
…
South Blue, Baterilla:
The residents of Baterilla stopped what they were doing and stared at the manga page in shock.
“I never imagined that the name of our island would be mentioned in this arc…”
“Ace was born here in Baterilla… Unbelievable…”
“I didn’t know our island had this honor…”
“This… is unbelievable, unreasonable… impossible!”
Many people, especially women, felt shocked after hearing what Sengoku said.
At that moment, most women couldn’t hold back their tears.
Tears fell without them realizing it, all because of what a mother did to protect her baby, something that was simply unbelievable.
•———•———•———•———•
“A long time ago, we were desperately searching because on some island somewhere, that man’s child might be alive.” Sengoku continued speaking, unperturbed by Ace’s refusal to acknowledge.
“Cipher Pol could only give us the smallest bit of information. So we checked all the newborn children who were born soon after, as well as their mothers, and still, we found nothing.”
“That should have been it… But your mother gave her life for your birth using sheer willpower to perform a trick…!!”
“She deceived us… No… She deceived the entire world!!”
“In South Blue, there’s an island by the name Baterilla. Your mother’s name was Portgas D. Rouge.”
“We never even imagined what she was capable of. Out of love for her child, she carried him in her womb for twenty months!!”
“And when she finally gave birth, her strength gave out, and she died right there.”
Sengoku couldn’t hide his admiration and shock from what the mother did to protect her child.
“One year and three months had passed since the father died…”
“A child was born with the blood of the world’s greatest villain running through his veins. That child was you.”
Sengoku looked at Ace, who was trembling at that moment: “There’s no way you don’t know…!!”
“Your father… was the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger!!!”
Upon hearing that, hundreds of thousands of mouths opened in shock, whether it be the present Marines or the civilians watching in Sabaody.
…
(“My unborn child bears no sin, Garp!!”)
At this moment, Roger’s words echoed in Garp’s memories.
(“Take care of my boy!!”) This was Roger’s final instruction to Garp.
•———•———•———•———•
Roger felt his heart bleeding as he witnessed his wife’s tears in that moment.
For a moment, he didn’t know what to do.
He, the great Pirate King, the man who could hold the sea in one hand and the earth in the other, and crush hundreds of thousands of pirates with just a glance using his Conqueror’s Haki, was experiencing a moment of weakness.
In that moment, Roger felt like the weakest person in the world.
The truth revealed by Sengoku, Ace’s reactions, didn’t just cut through his wife’s heart like a hot knife through butter, but it did the same to him.
Setting aside the manga book, Roger embraced his wife, and in an instant, his cloak was soaked with tears and mucus.
Roger didn’t care and embraced his wife even more while she was carried on his back, “I knew you would be a great mother.”
“Ace is lucky to have a mother like you, Rouge, and just as unfortunate to have parents like me-”
Before Roger could finish his words, Rouge hurriedly shut his mouth, her tear-streaked face turning into an angry one, making her scalp numb.
“Don’t say that again. You are the greatest father any boy could wish for.”
