He Smiled

In the science research lab on the God's Island!

At that moment, several people gathered together.

"Too weak, Boss's child. His heart is not fully developed, and he has congenital malnutrition. He is much weaker than other children!"

In a nutrient nest, with unreadable nutrient solution, there was an infant even thinner than the average baby, with a tube inserted into his mouth, curled up in a ball, eyes closed, his faint, almost imperceptible heartbeat barely perceptible unless you listened carefully.

Outside the nutrient nest, Bai Doudou was wrapped in bandages, one hand draped over her arm, her bright red eyes filled with worry as she looked at the baby inside.

"Sakura absolutely cannot be harmed! You two must heal her!"

Looking intently at the person, Bai Doudou turned her head and weakly looked at Caesar and Judge.

"We know that, and we've been working on improving it, but the mother's body is different. So, in the end, the princess can grow up healthy, but she's weaker than other children. We still don't have a clue how to nourish her!"

Caesar frowned, racking his brains for the past few days.

"I do have an idea!" At this moment, Judge stroked his chin and came up with an idea that wasn't really an idea.

Everyone's attention immediately turned to Judge.

"Devil Fruit!" Judge's eyes gleamed with certainty. "Devil Fruit of the Life-type should be able to make up for our shortcomings. Although we can perform surgery, there's still a gap. So, to be absolutely certain, only Devil Fruit do."

"There are too few Devil Fruit of the Life type."

"Would Mythical Zoan be acceptable?"

Growing increasingly sexy and beautiful, Reiju suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Zoan, there's one that would be very suitable." Caesar squinted.

"Marco the Phoenix, First Division Commander of the Whitebeard!"

"This matter must be treated with utmost seriousness. At least we should wait until the boss is rescued and let him make the decision!"

"Now, as long as the princess stays in the nutrient nest for three months, she can come out. Although she will be a little weak, there won't be any other problems."

"Is the Queen's body well preserved?"

"It's frozen. We'll wait for the boss to come back and fix it!"

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

"Let's discuss how to save the boss!"

Each person harbored their own thoughts. On the surface, everyone appeared normal, but inwardly, turmoil was brewing within them.

Marineford is currently undergoing major renovations, and some of the buildings that are still intact are being used as temporary headquarters.

After a few incidents have faded into the background, Marineford now gradually accepting the news of Ye Chen's betrayal. Therefore, a meeting is currently being held to deal with the upcoming situation. In short, this meeting is going to be very long!

That night, Marineford still bustling with activity, as they had to build their headquarters in a short time.

As the headquarters of the Navy, the prison certainly exists, and it is strictly controlled, only a little simpler than Impel Down. Even so, no prisoner has been able to escape to this day. After all, this is the Navy's main base, and in some aspects, it is even more secure than Impel Down.

Deep inside the prison, in a cell, a person with long hair covering their face, their hands cuffed by Seastone chains extending from the walls on both sides, and their head bowed, could easily be mistaken for dead at first glance!

Just then, the cell door opened, and a figure walked in and sat cross-legged on the ground.

"Tomorrow you will be taken to Impel Down."

Hearing the voice, he raised his head, revealing a slightly pale face with strands of hair falling down. Ye Chen looked at Kuzan with a calm gaze.

Aren't you afraid I'll make you repay that favor now?

"You know I won't let you leave! That's my principle and my bottom line!"

After a brief silence, Kuzan answered.

"I want to know about Doudou and Hina!" Ye Chen had no expectations for Kuzan's bluntness; he was only concerned about whether the Navy would take action against Hina!

Kuzan fell even more silent, and slowly Ye Chen's expression changed, growing increasingly grim.

"I want to hear the truth, every single word. Consider this your repayment for the favor you owed me back in Ohara!"

A sense of foreboding filled Ye Chen's heart, and he looked at Kuzan coldly.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku sent Sakazuki and Chaton to your residence, and the returning naval report stated..." Kuzan pursed his lips, somewhat hesitant.

"It is said that Hina cut open her own stomach to save your child, sacrificing her life to ensure the child's safe delivery. In the end, with Bai Doudou's desperate protection, they waited for Thunder God Enel and finally escaped from Sakazuki!"

Kuzan clenched his fist, feeling that Sengoku, Sakazuki, and the others had gone too far this time, directly implicating their families.

The chains tightened, Ye Chen suddenly lunged in front of Kuzan, inches away. His face was deathly pale, twisted to the extreme, like a vengeful ghost, as he roared, "Tell me, she's still alive!"

The entire prison was instantly jolted awake by the roar, sending a chill down everyone's spine.

Looking at the ravenous, bloodshot face before him, Kuzan a pang of pity.

"Terribly sorry."

Kuzan's words shattered Ye Chen's last hope and destroyed all his extravagant expectations!

Crimson eyes, tears silently streaming down cheeks and dripping to the ground, making the normally quiet prison sound like thunder, deafeningly loud.

There was no wailing, no anger; Ye Chen simply shed silent tears, stepped back and sat in the corner, and slowly, he began to laugh.

Hahahahaha

The laughter grew louder and louder, the happier they became, but their fingernails dug deep into their flesh, and their whole body trembled.

He was like a madman, just laughing, laughing desperately!

My condolences! My debt to you in Ohara still stands!

Standing up, looking at the deranged Ye Chen, Kuzan turned around, sighed, and left.

The next day, at the coastline, warships stood ready to depart. Accompanied by the sound of chains, Ye Chen was escorted out of the prison by two Rear Admiral.

Along the way, many sailors watched, some even cursing loudly.

Ye Chen simply kept his head down and silently endured all of this until they reached the shore.

This time, to prevent the Sacred Pirates and any other unknown forces from rescuing Ye Chen, Sengoku had Garp, Borsalino, and Sakazuki escort him. This was not only to ensure everything went smoothly, but also to see if there was a chance to capture those people in the shadows.

Ye Chen raised his head and remained silent, looking at Sengoku, Sakazuki, Garp, and all the Marines.

I watched it over and over again, without missing a single one.

There was no expression at all; pain, sorrow, anger—everything had vanished.

However, for some reason, many of the sailors who were seen felt a chill in their hearts and couldn't help but swallow hard.

Because Ye Chen's gaze was so calm, so calm that there was not a trace of anxiety or ripples!

Even Garp and the others felt somewhat uncomfortable under their gazes.

"A disgrace to the Navy!" Sakazuki glared at Ye Chen with hatred and sneered.

However, Ye Chen still didn't speak. Instead, he lowered his head and let the navy officers beside him escort him onto the warship.

For a moment, Sengoku, Borsalino, Tsuru, and the others all felt awkward for some reason.

He, in particular, was filled with worry. She didn't know why, but she felt that Ye Chen's expression was really out of place!

There was no anger, no threat; it was unusually quiet!

But at this moment, Ye Chen's heart was not at peace, but filled with excruciating pain, as if a thousand knives were constantly tearing him apart.

Even though he was used to pain, this pain was unbearable, affecting him from body to soul.

I'm furious! I wish I could tear all the navy to pieces!

But Ye Chen understood that there was nothing he could do now, because anger and threats were completely ineffective!

But one day, he will make everyone pay back a thousandfold, ten thousandfold, and everyone will have to be buried with Hina.

While being held captive, Ye Chen unconsciously smiled as the corners of his mouth curved upwards!
