"Your father! The Pirate King, Gol D. Roger!!!"

Upon hearing this, all was silent.

A Marine broke out in a sweat, muttering, "'Fire Fist' Ace is..."

"The bloodline of the Pirate King?!"

Countless sailors were plunged into astonishment and fear.

Smoker, sweat beading on his forehead, munched on a cigar, staring silently at Ace on the platform.

Tina silently took a drag of her cigarette, her expression grave.

"One Piece?"

Lida nearly dropped the snacks in her hand, staring at Ace in astonishment, "That's the Pirate King's child?!"

"Hey, hey, just kidding."

Kuro swallowed hard. "Is the bloodline of the Pirate King still alive?"

The Seven Warlords of the Sea at the port also looked surprised.

Sengoku glanced down and continued, "Two years ago, when you set sail with the surname Portgas and became famous on the sea as the Spade Pirates, we finally realized that the bloodline had not been severed.

"Only you think that way."

Sengoku said, "The reason we haven't made a move is because you're being protected by Whitebeard."

...

At the live broadcast location in Chambord, reporters from all walks of life put down their cameras or notebooks and ran away.

This is big news; it must be printed urgently.

"That's astonishing! That's the bloodline of the Pirate King!"

"The most evil bloodline in history has actually been inherited! Big news, big news!"

"Is the son of the Pirate King going to be publicly executed today?!"

"Get an expedited edition right away, this is huge news!"

"Title, come up with a title quickly!"

"Shocking! Fleet Admiral Sengoku discovers Roger's son is still alive, and in a fit of rage, summons 100,000 marines..."
