Chapter 52 - Chapter 50: Abandoning Wives And Children Is The Traditional Virtue Of The Roger Pirates?

In the world of pirates, we must pay attention to "benevolence and righteousness."

Who said this sentence in the first place?

Rhine couldn't remember anymore, but the one who left the deepest impression on him was Big Mom.

Good guy, in his previous life, Rhine saw such a crazy woman who could destroy a country for dessert say such words.

He almost hiccupped from laughing.

It can only be said that the pirates in this world really have a flexible moral bottom line.

Among them, many members of the Roger Pirates are living examples.

He really couldn't understand the mindset of these people.

And he felt the amazing deterrent force exuded by the Red Hair Pirates.

Rhine's crew—Weibull, Shiryu, Hancock, and others—gathered together, staring coldly at each other.

It was as if they were about to attack each other like wild beasts.

"Where is my son?!"

At this moment, the sniper Yasopp of the Red Hair Pirates spoke first, glaring angrily.

When they arrived at Marineford, the first thing they encountered was the Straw Hat Pirates.

Naturally, Yasopp also knew that his son Usopp had joined them.

He quickly asked about Usopp's situation.

However, Nami's answer felt like a bolt from the blue to Yasopp.

She said that Usopp had been taken by Weibull and was most likely... killed.

"Ah? How do we know where your son is?"

Rhine felt a little baffled.

At this time, Perona floated to Rhine's side like a bronze chicken who had strayed into the king's game, holding her small mouth with one hand, and whispered a few words to Rhine.

Rhine suddenly realized.

Oh, I remember now.

When Weibull came over just now, there was indeed something on his knife.

It's just that my attention was all on the dragon at that time, and I didn't notice it.

It turned out that it was Usopp connected to the knife at that time.

Rhine shrugged, pointed at the corpses on the ground, and said:

"It's everywhere here, you can find him yourself."

"Asshole!!"

Yasopp's face burned with anger, and he was ready to shoot.

When Rhine's fellow sniper Van Augur saw this, he immediately raised his sniper rifle.

"Calm down! Yasopp! The boss told us not to act rashly!"

Lucky Roux sternly dissuaded.

"Strange~"

Rhine rubbed his chin and teased:

"I heard that when your son was very young, you abandoned your wife and son and left with Shanks. You didn't even go back to see your wife when she died. Logically speaking, you should have no affection for your son. So why are you so excited now?"

"When the baby dies, you cry. When the pig hits a tree, you realize it's been taken. You complain with a runny nose and a big mouth, but what have you actually done?"

After Rhine finished speaking, Perona, who was shrinking behind him, couldn't hold back her laughter.

Even many people in the hostile position, such as Momousagi and Ace, bit their tongues hard to prevent themselves from laughing out loud.

Although they knew it was immoral, the problem was that it was really funny.

The veins on Yasopp's forehead were bulging, and he was so angry that he almost crushed his teeth.

But Shanks raised his hand to stop him at this moment.

"Are you done? Rhine."

Shanks closed his eyes and said coldly:

"Once you decide to become a pirate, you put your life and death aside. I will not condemn your actions morally, but there is no need to anger a father who has just lost his son."

Rhine smiled even more, "Oh, I'll go, I'm going to return my father. Speaking of which, all the members of your Roger Pirates are weird, and Roger is a typical representative."

Saying that, Rhine raised his head and smiled at Ace:

"Don't you think so? Ace."

Ace's expression changed slightly; he didn't understand what Rhine was asking him to do at this time.

"Am I not right? In those days when Roger knew that he was terminally ill and had less than a year to live, he still hooked up with your mother Rouge, who was decades younger than him, and asked her to give birth to you."

"Clearly knowing that his life was short, yet he seduced a woman from a good family, and finally caused your mother to die in childbirth. This kind of scum is the best of the best, don't you think?"

Although Rhine himself is a rogue who can't control his desires, he didn't think he could do such a stupid thing.

At least if Nami and Robin had his child, he would definitely take on the responsibility of raising his own cub.

"What did you say?!"

Ace's expression changed drastically.

He really hated Roger very much, but the main reason was that the man did not leave any kindness in his memory and indirectly caused his mother Rouge's death.

But Ace didn't know that Roger only had one year to live at that time.

If what Rhine said is true, then Roger is an asshole, right?

You know you're going to die, and you still lie to a good woman to give birth to you?

"Hey! Is this real?!"

Ace yelled at Rayleigh, who was Roger's second-in-command.

Rayleigh was dumbfounded.

He also just found out that Roger had a child.

But thinking about it carefully, if Roger really did this kind of thing... Indeed, it is a bit too scummy.

Rayleigh looked hesitant, but frowned and said:

"Indeed, at that time Roger himself said that he would not live long..."

Well, Whitebeard's statement is solid. Roger is a scumbag.

"Yeah!!!"

Ace's impotent and furious punch hit the ground hard.

He hated Roger, and he hated himself for indirectly causing his mother's death.

"What a family ethics drama."

Momousagi said that those who enjoy gossip are happy.

Hancock, Perona, and other women also had similar feelings.

The majestic Pirate King doesn't feel that great.

"I don't understand why so many people admire a scum like Roger? Compared to him, I feel like I'm a good young man."

Rhine shrugged and smirked.

Speaking of which, Rhine remembers that Shanks seems to have an adopted daughter, whom he also abandoned when she was a child.

As for the reason, Rhine couldn't remember clearly.

Rhine really wanted to ask if abandoning wives and children is a traditional virtue of the Roger Pirates?

Why does everyone like to do this?

"Have you said enough?"

Boom———Hoohoo!!!

It's different from the original story where he just came to pick up a hat.

Seeing Rhine repeatedly insulting Captain Roger, whom he admired most, Shanks couldn't help being a little angry.

In an instant, terrifying invisible fluctuations gushed out of Shanks' body like a giant beast.

A large number of cracks spread under his feet, causing the already devastated Marineford to completely collapse.

In an instant, whether it was the Marines, Pirates, or the Revolutionary Army, more than 80% of the personnel rolled their eyes and fell to the ground.

Even Vice Admirals in the headquarters, except for Momousagi and Tea Dolphin, knelt down one by one, trying their best to support themselves.

If they weren't careful, they would pass out like the other soldiers.

"Is this the Conqueror's Haki of Four Emperors [Red-Haired] Shanks?!"

Momousagi was shocked.

"What? I'm just repeating what your beloved Captain Roger has done. Is there any need to be so angry?"

Rhine replied with a smile, and the moment the words fell, the joke on his face turned into a sinister smile.

"If you want to fight, we will accompany you."

The moment the voice fell.

The invisible impact of terror also overflowed from Rhine's raised eyebrows, resisting Shanks' Conqueror's Haki.

At the midpoint of the Conqueror's Haki confrontation between the two sides, dark red lightning arcs made a piercing sound of "sizzling."

Conqueror's Haki Collision!

However, after about five seconds of stalemate, Shanks' Haki began to overpower Rhine's.

After all, Shanks had trained his Conqueror's Haki to the ceiling level.

"No idea..."

Rhine smiled down.

In the next moment, a black tornado shot up from Rhine's back.

It collided with the blood-red Conqueror's Haki.

The two huge forces, one black and one red, constantly clashed and fought each other like two titans.

As the spread continued to expand, it was about to rush to the Whitebeard Pirates.

"A bunch of brats, have they forgotten me?"

The moment Whitebeard's voice fell, his blade blade was covered with a layer of translucent white light waves.

At the last moment, when the fluctuation generated by the collision of black and red was about to spread to his side.

He cut it out!

A white shock wave intervened from the middle.

All of a sudden, black, white, and red energies appeared like horns, and the entire island was completely shattered like a fallen mirror!

BOOM!!!

When the shock finally ended, there where Rhine, Shanks, and Whitebeard were standing was a huge "Y" shaped gully.

The seawater kept pouring out of it.

Marineford was divided into three parts by these three people!

"Who dares to touch my big brother? I'll kill them!!!"

At this time, Weibull clenched his hands, bursting out with a terrifying deterrent force not inferior to an Admiral, and glared at Shanks.

Benn Beckman looked him in the eye without fear.

Hancock flicked the hair next to her ear, ready to activate her Love-Love Fruit ability at any time.

Shiryu's body crackled with thunder and lightning, indicating his readiness to fight.

Three huge poisonous dragons emerged from Doc Q's back, with their dripping venom dissolving the ground.

And Badgers, Lafitte, Catarina Devon, and others also brandished their weapons, glaring at all members of the Red Hair Pirates with murderous intent.

The reporters from the Sabaody Archipelago, who were not at the scene but watched through the screen, felt as if they were suffocating just from the tension.

Yes, it seemed a third round was about to start:

Rhine Pirates vs. Red Hair Pirates!

However, at this moment, Koala gestured to her deputy Hack with her eyes.

Understanding her intent, Hack handed the dragon's body over to Sabo.

"There is no need for this war to continue."

Shanks spoke again:

"If you insist on continuing the fight...it will be a war without a winner."

"How about it, Captain of the Rhine Pirates?"

After speaking, Shanks stared at Rhine.

"Captain…"

All the subordinates looked at Rhine with questioning eyes.

...Hahaha!"

After a short silence, Rhine laughed heartily under everyone's puzzled gazes.
