Chapter 26

"Oh gods," Miss Buckin looked at Karl with horror, standing behind her. Her lips turned white. She saw an unrestrained thirst for murder in his eyes. If she screamed, she might really die!

"Don't you know that I'm Whitebeard's lover? If you kill me, Whitebeard won't forgive you!" she exclaimed.

Karl smirked, looking at Miss Buckin with disdain. What would someone like her be worth to Whitebeard to kill for? And with that body size...

Whitebeard is over six meters tall, and Miss Badgin is no taller than Chopper. How could they... Wait, this is the world of One Piece! Anything is possible here!

"Ha-ha, so what? Even if you really are his lover, would he rush to the Marine headquarters for you?" Karl asked.

"You're just a pirate. Naturally, the Marines will hunt you down," he continued.

"No, you can't kill me! I am Weevil's mother! If you kill me, he will go insane!!!" Miss Buckin screamed.

With a mocking expression, Karl gently pressed the tip of the knife against her wrinkled neck: "Shh! Don't worry, old woman!"

Buckin swallowed and nodded. In the next moment, she felt her body being lifted into the air. Karl held her by the shoulders, the cold blade pressed against her neck.

"Tell your son to stop!"

"Weevil, you fool, stop! Do you want your mom to die?" she cried out in desperation.

Weevil, who was fighting Zefa, looked at Karl in horror. Caught again!

"Ah, Mom! Are you okay? Kid, if you dare harm her, I'll kill you!" Weevil, covered in snot, was not taken seriously in his threats. Karl did not respond to Weevil's words. Arguing with a fool is pointless. He simply allowed Miss Buckin and Weeble to come closer.

"Fool! Stop talking! I think you really want Mom to die!" Buckin scolded Weeble anxiously, plunging him into a dilemma.

"Make him drop his weapon!" Karl commanded.

"Son, drop your knife!" Miss Badgin shouted through clenched teeth. "Idiot! Drop it when Mom tells you to, do you want to see Mom die?"

Weevil immediately lost his patience, reluctantly looked at the large knife in his hands, and then threw it to the ground with a loud noise.

Seeing Weevil obey, Zephyr doubted the reality of the situation. He had been fighting for so long, only to be at war with a fool?

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

"Forget it! For people like you, the only destination is Impel Down!" Zephyr replied coldly.

Karl thoughtfully looked at Weeble. This oddball with low IQ and superhuman combat strength is a great tool, but he also has flaws. He's not very smart, and his psyche is unstable.

No, no, it's better for such a person to perish. There are plenty of thugs in the Marines, especially in the future. They'll be able to handle Luffy anyway. Why bother with Weevil?

"Tell your son to stand still."

"What are you planning!? No, that's impossible!" Miss Badgin shrieked, preventing Weevil from giving up resistance.

She understood: Weevil was her greatest support. If anything happened to him, her fate would be grim. Only a living Weevil could act as a deterrent, stopping these two sea marines from acting hastily.

So, no matter what, she would never let Weevil surrender. Even if she died, Weevil in his fury would avenge her.

"Hmph!" Karl snorted coldly. As expected of an old woman, this granny isn't foolish!

"You don't need to say anything, I'll tell him myself!"

Karl took a piece of cloth to gag her, so she couldn't speak, and then took her hostage to control Weevil.

When Karl grabbed the cloth, Miss Backin astutely noticed his intentions. Weighing all the pros and cons, she loudly shouted to Weeble:

"Son, don't worry about your mother, kill them! A-ah!"

Weevil was momentarily stunned but quickly snapped out of it and reached for the knife he had just thrown.

Zephyr , not understanding what had happened, stood in front of Weevil's sword. With a kick, he sent the sword into the sea.

"No! My sword!"

Weevil seemed to completely lose his mind; his eyes turned red, his nostrils flared angrily, and he roared, charging at Zephyr like a wild beast.

Karl was taken aback. That demeanor... Karl thought a horse should die before it goes crazy!

However, Weevil's actions proved to Karl that the horse doesn't need to die; it goes crazy right before your eyes!

"Let's go! Broken bones!" Zefa's hand immediately turned black as he faced the rampaging Weevil head-on.

"Tsk-tsk-tsk, it seems you're useless!"

"No, no, no!"

In horror, Miss Buckin watched as the knife cut her throat, blood spurted, and her thin body fell powerless to the ground, her eyes full of reluctance.

"Whitebeard, Whitebeard will not forgive you..."

After saying these words and pointing at Karl, Miss Backin left this world forever.

"Lies!" Karl disdainfully wiped the knife. Whitebeard had gone to the Marines headquarters for Ace, his godson. If he really had a son, would he let you run wild here?

Fool others if you want, but don't try to scare me. I've seen anime!

Then he turned his gaze to Weevil. Your mother is dead, now it's your turn.

"Master Zefa, can you hold out? Do you need backup?"

The pressure made Zephyr's blood boil. What do you mean? You think I can't handle this with you?

Fine! Today I will show you my true power!

Having knocked Weevil aside with a punch, Zephyr turned to Karl: "I'll deal with you later!"

Weevil got up from the ground, caught sight of the body at Karl's feet out of the corner of his eye, and roared in grief.

"No! Mom!!!"

Then he rushed to Buckin's body, ignoring everything else. Karl's eyes widened. He couldn't withstand Weevil's attack and quickly turned away from his knife.

"Mom, mom, wake up! U-uh-uh!" Tears the size of peas sparkled in Weeble's eyes. He was in immense grief, as if his mother had died...

Wait... The one who died was his mother.
