Chapter 214: The Traditional Skill of the D Clan: Being Backstabbed?
Chenye brought up the matter of "Joey Boy" again.
Like an invisible hand, it forcefully pulled Rocks and Roger out of their different emotions surrounding "Sealing Im".
The wild smile on Lockes' face hadn't faded yet, but his eyes had already sharpened again.
He stared at Chen Ye's excessively young face, full of doubt.
Why are you so interested in Joey Boy?
Before he could continue, Chen Ye directly revealed the information he knew.
He spoke calmly and evenly, without any emotion.
"The Joy Boy I know has the blood of the ancient giants."
The moment he uttered the first sentence, Lox's brow twitched.
This news is too obscure; it's not something just anyone would hear.
"And more importantly, he also possesses the power of the sun god Nika."
His strength is practically godlike!
These words caused Lockes' eyebrows to furrow, and his expression showed great surprise.
His fingers, which were resting on the armrest of the treasure chest, curled up unconsciously.
Nika.
This name is a deeper taboo, something that even the highest levels of the world government keep quiet about.
"Furthermore, Joy Boy also rallied the forces of multiple races to fight against the World Government at the time."
Chen Ye's voice was flat and without any inflection, as if he were recounting an unimportant old story.
But with each additional word he uttered, the expression on Lox's face froze even more.
When Chen Ye finished speaking, his signature arrogance had completely disappeared.
Instead, there was shock, fear, and disbelief.
Especially the four characters "Nikka the Sun God".
Rocks could no longer remain calm.
It was a tremor that came from the depths of bloodline memory, the most profound mark left by Davy Jones on a certain nemesis.
He stared intently at Chen Ye, his gaze so intense it seemed he could see right through Chen Ye's very soul.
"Brother, you're really surprising me more and more."
"Even Nika knows!"
There was no longer any probing in his words, only pure shock.
Rocks leaned back on his golden throne, a movement that seemed to suck away the surrounding air, even causing the flames to pause for a moment.
"That's right."
He was certain.
"The Joy Boy I saw in Davy Jones's memories is... pretty much the same as what you described."
His words carried the excitement of meeting a worthy opponent, but also a hint of resentment at having his cards exposed.
The most arrogant man in the world was defeated so completely by a young man.
Immediately, a hint of regret flashed in Rocks' eyes as he glanced at Roger, who was also deep in thought beside him!
Unfortunately, Davy Jones's memory is incomplete.
"And I can't get to 'that place'."
"All the secrets about Joy Boy, and why he failed, can probably only be uncovered by Roger once he gets there."
His gaze shifted to Roger, his words carrying a sense of destiny.
Roger's expression also turned serious.
A huge mystery concerning his future is slowly being revealed.
But Locke's tone suddenly shifted, turning icy and filled with deep-seated hatred.
The sound was like words being carved in blood on a stone tablet.
"However, one thing I'm certain of."
He paused.
He pronounced each word very heavily.
"Joy Boy failed because of the betrayal of his companions."
Just like God Valley this time!
I can clearly sense that someone in my Rocks Pirates has betrayed me!
Rocks clenched his fists at his sides, his knuckles turning white.
The sting of being stabbed in the back by the person you trust most resonates with Davy Jones's memories across eight centuries.
The word "betrayal" made Roger's expression extremely solemn.
He thought of his crew.
Those partners who can entrust their backs to each other.
He couldn't imagine what it felt like to be betrayed by his partner.
The atmosphere in the sealed room plummeted to freezing point.
The light of the flames turned cold and eerie.
The weight of history and the suspicion of reality are mixed together, making it hard to breathe.
In the midst of this deathly silence, Chen Ye suddenly let out an exaggerated long sigh.
He spread his hands, and complained in a modern, helpless tone:
"Goodness."
"I think I understand now."
"Is this some kind of traditional skill of your D clan?"
"Will they all be betrayed by their own people?"
These few modern-sounding rants instantly tore apart the heavy atmosphere.
It poured down on the heads of Rocks and Roger, the two current representatives of the D clan, without warning.
It instantly extinguished all the heavy emotions they had been building up.
The coldness and hatred on Lockes' face froze.
Roger's solemn and thoughtful expression froze.
The two subconsciously exchanged a glance, and both saw an undeniable awkwardness in each other's eyes.
Davy Jones was outmaneuvered by Im and failed.
Joy Boy was betrayed by his companions and failed.
And he, Rocks D. Giebeck, also felt betrayed in the Valley of the Gods and almost died there.
As for Roger...
It doesn't happen now, so who can guarantee it will happen in the future?
This damn "traditional art" actually seems to be true.
That cannot be refuted.
Absolutely irrefutable.
In the end, the two once-powerful sea kings could only let out a bitter laugh in unison.
The laughter was filled with helplessness, self-deprecation, and the embarrassment of having one's sore spots touched.
After the laughter subsided, the atmosphere in the locked room actually became much more relaxed.
Chen Ye's playful expression vanished, and he became serious again.
He stood up from the treasure chest and calmly swept his gaze over the two of them.
"Alright, I'll stop teasing you two."
"I've got pretty much everything I wanted to know."
This sentence brought Rocks and Roger's laughter to an abrupt halt.
They realized that Chenye had taken the fragments of "Davy Jones" and "Im" from Rocks, and picked up the fragments of "Joey Boy" from the dust of history.
Now, he knows everything.
Chen Ye's eyes became deep.
Those eyes reflected the stars and time, causing both kings to feel a chill run down their spines.
His next words carried an immense weight, slowly pressing down.
"Now, it's my turn."
"What I'm about to say... you two should know..."
"Be mentally prepared."
This statement successfully shifted all the suspense back to him.
Rocks and Roger's competitive spirit and curiosity were completely ignited.
Just moments ago, Rocks and Roger were agitated by the "Will of D" and "betrayal," but now all their emotions were replaced by an even stronger feeling—curiosity.
It's an extreme curiosity mixed with competitiveness!
They could roughly guess that what followed was probably a secret that belonged only to Chen Ye himself.
Rocks sat up straight.
The massive body leaned against the golden throne, yet it exuded an unprecedented level of focus.
His sharp eyes were fixed on Chen Ye, trying to catch the slightest change in his expression.
Roger also put away all his carefree attitude.
Lean forward slightly.
His eyes burned with the fervor of an adventurer before discovering a new continent.
The entire secret room fell silent once again.
The only sound was the crackling of the burning torch.
Two kings from different eras are waiting.
Waiting for the secret that belongs only to Chenye.
