At this mont, looking at the many fierce figures standing in a row behind Liu Feng, Katakuri could no longer... say anything to refute.
The ironclad facts were laid out in front of him.
Lui Fang was too strong.
The navy’s unprecedented luxurious lineup was made up of the most fierce and vigorous legendary figures of the old tis!!
Even though he was once the vice-captain of the Four Emperors Pirate Group in the New World, he had no right to refute!
"So what do you want?"
Katakuri seed to be biting his teeth, a dry roaring sound ca out of his throat.
"Is it a joke?"
"Or a mockery!"
Liu Feng shook his head and said, "No, neither."
"I just want to tell you a cruel fact, the era of pirates is completely over."
"Soon, there will be no more pirates on this sea."
"And now there are two paths in front of you."
"One is to continue to maintain your ridiculous self-esteem and then slowly rot in this dark prison with your mother and never see the sun and sea outside again."
"The second is to join our new navy, give up your identity as a pirate, and reunite with your family."
"This is not a threat, but a choice."
Katakuri roared with red eyes, "So what’s the difference between you and a pirate!"
"Is this what you call justice in your new army?"
Liu Feng laughed.
"If this is not justice, then what is justice?"
"I let you go out again, and then continue to let you damn pirates harm the world?"
"At least, I gave you a chance to choose, didn’t I?"
"If I really were as cruel as a pirate, do you think I would still give you a choice?"
"Weaklings don’t even have the chance to choose how to die."
My voice slowly fell, and the atmosphere in the prison suddenly beca extrely heavy.
No one spoke.
In the darkness, only Katakuri’s heavy angry breathing continued to be heard.
The Golden Lion awkwardly rubbed his nose before floating forward, lowering his voice.
"Uh... Lingling, how about you just agree to it?"
He cautiously pointed at himself, then gestured toward Liu Feng.
"If you join us, your children will be resurrected."
"And look—if you co aboard, you, , and Whitebeard will be on the sa side again."
"We can challenge the World Governnt like we did back then."
"Isn’t that what you wanted all along?"
Charlotte Linlin’s heavy expression flickered with hesitation. The wild fury that had consud her monts ago dimd as mories surfaced.
Back then, their captain had led them in a similar attempt to overthrow the World Governnt.
"Shiki," she muttered, her voice lower now, "why should I believe that brat?"
"Even our captain couldn’t do it... How could he?"
The Golden Lion grinned.
"You don’t need to believe Liu Feng. You just need to believe ."
He gestured around them.
"At least this ti, Roger is on our side, isn’t he?"
Charlotte Linlin froze.
Roger was on their side this ti.
Back in the Battle of God Valley, if Roger hadn’t suddenly sided with the Navy Headquarters, the Rocks Pirates would have claid victory long ago.
Liu Feng, watching their reactions, felt a sense of relief.
Katakuri and Charlotte Linlin were hesitating. But he knew their reasons were different.
Katakuri wanted to resurrect his siblings. Family was everything to him.
Charlotte Linlin, however, was wavering because of sothing else—the na Rocks and the dream of their pirate crew, a vision they had once chased.
Liu Feng decided to strike while the iron was hot.
He spoke, his voice calm yet piercing.
"Don’t you want to know the truth about the nun back then?"
The mont the words left his mouth, Charlotte Linlin’s face twisted in shock, her eyes widening as if she had seen a ghost.
Charlotte Linlin’s face twisted in fear, her entire body stiffening as she staggered back two steps. Her hand trembled violently as she pointed at Liu Feng, her voice cracking.
"—How do you know this!!"
Katakuri’s reaction was no different. His sharp gaze locked onto Liu Feng, but beneath the surface, panic surged within him.
That word.
’Nun.’
A na forbidden within the Charlotte family.
A word so taboo that even the children of the pirate crew knew never to utter it.
No matter who it was, whether a stranger or a mber of the crew, anyone who dared to ntion that na would be slaughtered on the spot—without hesitation, without rcy.
Yet Liu Feng had just spoken it aloud.
