Chapter 705 The Impact of Manga on Garp.
_________________
Ohara:
Inside the art store, the sounds of readers' gasps could be heard as they were still reeling from the shock after hearing Sengoku's startling announcement.
Meanwhile, Olvia, dressed in a charming maid outfit, slowly wiped away her tears.
"As a mother, I understand what Rouge feels in the manga... She's such a great mother; she did everything in her power to protect Ace from the sinister hands of the World Government."
Having witnessed the Enies Lobby's arc in the past, which had the greatest impact on her life so far, Olvia was the woman most understanding of the intricacies of what Rouge did for her unborn child.
As a loving mother, sacrificing one's life when the enemy is the World Government is inevitable. Both Rouge and Olvia in the manga found themselves in almost the same situation and had to sacrifice their lives to protect their children.
But for some reason, Rouge's experience seemed more poignant.
"I've always known Rouge to be a woman of strong willpower and determination, but this level of courage and sacrifice leaves me speechless. That's what it means to be a mother."
Bell-mre couldn't hold back her tears either at this moment. What Sengoku said had a profound effect on her, especially after seeing the short flashback of Rouge giving birth to Ace and subsequently dying.
"I believe delaying Ace's birth for twenty months was an extremely difficult decision, but it was necessary to protect him from the World Government... I mean, the intense search by the World Government for Roger's son left her no choice... Any mother wouldn't want to live with her son?"
Gloriosa appeared frustrated with the World Government, which pushed an innocent mother into a corner and left her with no choice but to sacrifice herself to deceive them and let her son live in return.
"The World Government in the manga, with no opponent like our husband... They just do as they please... How despicable."
Otohime was known for her gentle demeanor and her smile that hardly ever left her face, but at this moment, hatred towards the World Government and the Marine was deeply evident on her face.
"I wonder how Roger will react after seeing his biological son only acknowledging the Whitebeard as his father and considering him nobody..."
Clover sighed with pity after witnessing this dramatic scene.
"Of course, he'll be devastated... Even if he's the Pirate King, it doesn't mean he doesn't love his son... This manga might be a means to change this painful fate."
Donquixote Homing expressed his opinion sincerely.
"Logically, Roger in the manga must have known that the outcome of his actions would be like this. His wife would die to protect the child, the child would be raised among his enemy in the Marine, and his son would hate him because of the bad reputation he left him to deal with."
Vegapunk fell silent for a moment before continuing, "His decision to create the Great Age of Pirate despite knowing the consequences that would destroy his life and the lives of his relatives is something to contemplate and doubt."
"Why did Roger do this...?"
Upon hearing that, Clover, Homing, Saul, Brook, and more archaeologists drowned in contemplation.
Unable to reach any conclusion, they continued reading the manga, which indicated that they were in for a great arc indeed.
Chapter's Events:
"Fire Fist Ace Is Gol D. Roger's son!?"
"This is huge news!! Send it to the main office right away!!!"
"Make it an extra edition!!"
Due to the shock, the information logging book slipped from the hand of one of the journalists who were watching the broadcast at Sabaody.
"It still lives The Pirate King's Bloodline!!!"
Returning to Marineford Square, the attendees felt absolute shock, including Smoker and Mihawk, who had their own thoughts.
"So he's not Luffy's real brother?"
Hancock was interested in Luffy's family background.
"So his real son managed to survive!! This is a miracle!!! Everybody even slightly associated with Roger was executed at that time!!"
Moria felt shocked by this fact.
"Ohh"
Even Doflamingo felt astonished for a moment.
"He He said that he was Luffy's brother, so I thought his father was Dragon!!!"
Koby's mistaken belief changed in this moment.
"So did I!! I guess that means they aren't related by blood!!" Helmeppo concluded.
"Fufu, it seems both your counterpart and mine were unaware of the fact that the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates is actually the biological son of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger."
Doflamingo looked deeply at Mihawk before saying that.
"That doesn't matter... Roger is already dead in the manga; I don't think my counterpart would be interested in the past of a dead man."
Mihawk's response seemed indifferent.
"Tsk, how cold," Enel commented disdainfully.
"" Mihawk glanced at Enel for a moment but then looked away and returned to the events of the manga.
"Roger was not wrong; his son has no connection to the sins he committed... Where is the justice in punishing a child who wasn't even born in this world for what his father did?"
Issho clenched his fist in frustration.
Since the release of this manga, his true sense of justice has never aligned with what the World Government and the Marine have done throughout all these arcs.
The Marine and the World Government always seemed to outweigh the pirates in committing sins against the innocent people of the world.
"Even children and women cannot escape the clutches of the wicked World Government..."
Rosinante appeared angry, unlike his indifferent brother.
Sorbet Kingdom:
Inside the art store, members of the Revolutionary Army gathered in their designated part of the bar.
After handing over the governance of this kingdom to the former king, Kuma was able to free himself from his responsibilities as king and now became just another revolutionary like the rest of the army.
Of course, in the hearts of the people of Sorbet, Kuma was still their king, and Bonney was still their princess.
"Oh, old man... Your counterpart is going through intense psychological warfare in this arc."
Dragon said after glancing to cast a look at his father.
Unusually, Garp wasn't smiling or munching on any rice crackers at this moment; instead, he was reading the manga with a grim expression.
If Dragon could see the psychological conflicts Garp was going through in the manga, how couldn't he also see them? They were as clear as the sun at noon...
Well, who could sit and watch the execution of his grandson like this without flinching... Even though he wasn't his biological grandson, he took care of him and raised him alongside his real grandson... That means he already acknowledged him as his grandson.
The current Garp was 100% aware of what Garp felt in the manga, to the point where the latter's feelings and inner conflicts transferred to him with every scene featuring Garp...
It seemed as if he truly transcended to the Marineford war and merged with his counterpart, living through its events with spirit and body.
