Bakkin Is Eliminated

Miss Bakkin looked back at Carl in horror, her lips turning slightly pale.

She had seen the undisguised killing intent in Carl's eyes. If she screamed, she might really die!

"You—you know I'm Whitebeard's lover, right? If you kill me, Whitebeard definitely won't let you off!"

Carl snorted and looked disdainfully at the short, wrinkled Miss Bakkin, whose lips were coated in thick red lipstick. His eyes were filled with contempt.

For someone like her, how much Dichlorvos had Whitebeard needed to drink before he could bring himself to do it? And that body shape...

Whitebeard was over six meters tall, while Miss Bakkin wasn't even taller than Chopper. How had those two even... Wait, this was the One Piece world. Anything was possible!

"Heh. So what? Even if you really are Whitebeard's lover, do you think he'll attack Marine Headquarters for your sake?"

"At the end of the day, you're nothing more than a pirate. The Navy killing pirates is only natural."

Miss Bakkin said frantically, "No, you can't kill me! I—I'm Weevil's mother! If you kill me, he'll go berserk!!!"

Carl lightly pressed the tip of his blade into Miss Bakkin's wrinkled neck, looking completely unconcerned. "Shh, shh, shh! Don't get excited, old woman!"

Bakkin swallowed with difficulty and nodded. Then she suddenly felt her body rise as Carl hoisted her up, the cold blade laid across her throat.

"Tell your good son to stop!"

"Weevil, you idiot! Stop right now! Do you want your mother to die?"

Weevil, who was fighting Zephyr, looked at Carl in a panic. His eyes widened. How did Mom get captured again?

"Ah, Mom! Are you all right? Little runt, if you dare hurt Mom, I'll definitely kill you!"

With snot running from his nose, the simple-minded Weevil had no intimidating presence at all. Carl didn't say anything either. There was no point arguing with an idiot, so he merely moved Karasu a little closer to Bakkin.

"Idiot! Stop talking! You really want your mother to die, don't you?"

Bakkin panicked and unleashed a torrent of abuse at Weevil, leaving him caught between a rock and a hard place.

"Make him throw away his weapon!"

Miss Bakkin gritted her teeth and shouted at Weevil, "You stupid son, throw your blade away!"

"But, Mom, if I don't have my weapon, I can't beat that old man!"

"Idiot! If your mother tells you to throw it away, then throw it away! Do you want to watch your mother die?"

Weevil immediately lost his nerve. He gave the Dadao in his hand a reluctant look before throwing it to the ground with a crisp clang.

Seeing how obedient Weevil was, Zephyr began to question his entire life. He had fought so hard for so long, only to end up struggling against an idiot?

"Hey, young man, I've done everything you asked. As long as you let me go, I guarantee I won't let Weevil cause you any trouble!"

Zephyr snorted from the side. "Dream on! For reckless criminals like you, Impel Down is the best place for you!"

Carl looked at Weevil thoughtfully. Someone with low intelligence but overwhelming combat power was clearly an excellent tool, but his flaws were just as obvious. He wasn't very smart, and his temperament was extremely unstable.

No. Forget it. Someone like him would be better off dead. The Navy has plenty of muscle, and in the future, I can still milk Luffy for all he's worth. Why bother looking for Weevil?

"Tell your son to stand still."

"What? You—you want to... No, impossible!" Miss Bakkin shrieked. No matter what, she refused to let Weevil give up resisting.

Because she understood.

Weevil was her greatest support. If anything happened to him, her own fate would not be any better.

Only a living Weevil could serve as a deterrent and keep the two Marines from acting rashly.

So no matter what, she absolutely could not let Weevil give up resisting. That way, even if she died, the enraged Weevil could still avenge her.

"Hmph!" Carl snorted. As expected of an old fox, the old woman wasn't stupid after all!

"If you won't say it, then I will!"

Carl casually picked up a scrap of cloth and prepared to stuff it into Bakkin's mouth, preventing her from speaking. That way, he could control Weevil by holding Bakkin hostage.

But when Carl picked up the cloth, Bakkin keenly sensed his intention. After a brief calculation, she shouted toward Weevil.

"Son, don't worry about Mom! Kill them—mmph, mmph, mmph!"

Weevil's mind stalled for a moment, but he quickly reacted and reached for the blade he had just thrown away.

How could Zephyr not know what Weevil was thinking? He had already positioned himself in front of Weevil's Dadao. With one kick, he sent it flying, and it splashed into the sea with a plunk.

"No! My blade!"

Weevil seemed to be driven over the edge by the sight. His eyes instantly turned bloodshot, his nostrils flared with heavy breaths, and he charged at Zephyr with a roar like a beast trapped in a desperate corner.

Carl was left dumbfounded. His temper is really something... I thought a horse would at least have to die before he went berserk!

But Weevil's actions showed Carl that no horse needed to die at all. He could go berserk in minutes!

"Good! Bone Crusher!"

Zephyr's arm instantly turned pitch-black as he met the enraged Weevil head-on.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Looks like you're useless now!"

"No, no, no!"

Under Miss Bakkin's horrified gaze, one slash sealed her throat. A spray of blood burst out as her frail body collapsed helplessly to the ground, her eyes filled with unwillingness.

"White... Whitebeard won't let you off..."

After pointing at Carl and speaking her last words, Miss Bakkin departed this beautiful world forever.

"Lies, nothing but lies!"

Carl wiped his blade in disgust. Whitebeard had been willing to attack Marine Headquarters for his adopted son Ace. If he really had a son, would he have let you keep jumping around here?

"Tricking other people would've been fine, but you tried to scare me? I've watched the anime!"

Carl then turned his gaze toward Weevil. Your mother's dead. Now it's your turn.

"Teacher Zephyr, can you hold out? Should I call for reinforcements?"

Zephyr's blood pressure shot up. What does that mean? Does he think I can't beat him?

Fine. Today, I'll show you my true strength!

After punching Weevil away, Zephyr turned toward Carl. "I'll deal with you later!!"

Weevil climbed to his feet. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the corpse at Carl's feet and let out a sorrowful roar.

"No! Mom!!!"

Then, disregarding everything else, he charged toward Bakkin's corpse. Carl's eyes narrowed. He couldn't withstand Weevil's attack, so he hurriedly used Shave to dodge.

"Mom, Mom, wake up! Waaaah!"

Tears the size of beans rolled from Weevil's eyes as he grieved bitterly, as if his mother had died...

Wait... the one who died was actually his mother.
