Chapter 424: Searching for Germa 66
Facing the red-haired man's tempting invitation, which exuded his charisma, Ace's answer was:
“I refuse!
I don't want to be in the same boat with you guys!
I am now the leader of the Blue Sky!
I will never give up my will even if I die!"
"Moreover, this is not a reason for you to become pirates to rob, kill, and harm everyone!!" Ace said in a firm and convincing tone.
As he traveled across the sea, all he encountered were human tragedies.
Villages that were looted and burned by pirates, civilians that were forced to pay money by pirates, civilians that starved to death because of the pirates' rule and oppression...
Countless tragedies occur every day.
Although some of the big pirates in the East China Sea were eliminated by Garp, there are still many pirate groups existing.
Although their strength is not strong, each pirate group is a devastating disaster for the weak civilians!
"It's really a headache. You have such a deep prejudice against pirates."
Shanks raised his hand to his forehead and said helplessly.
"Why don't you understand? In fact, those nobles, royal families, and world governments are the root causes of the disasters in this ocean.
As long as they oppress the civilians, pirates will continue to emerge."
"Even if that's the case, it's not an excuse to become a pirate and cause harm to everyone.
Humph, sooner or later I will change the world!
Bring freedom to the sea with the will of the blue sky!" Ace said with determination.
He wants to change this chaotic world!
"Hahaha, really.
It’s not easy to change the world.”
Ace retorted himself, but instead of making Shanks angry.
He looked at Ace's passionate words and the will that emanated from him to bring freedom to everyone.
Perhaps Shanks already understood.
Ace is the one he has been waiting for!
"By the way, have you ever eaten the fruit?" Shanks asked.
"No." Ace snorted without giving Shanks a good look.
Shanks: "Oh, what a pity, I don't have the Rubber Fruit..."
Good man, after failing to poison Luffy, you started to shift your target to Ace. You are amazing.
Redhead: "By the way, how do you know your background?"
"The old man told me."
"No, I'm not Roger's son!"
Ace shook his head in denial.
"Old man... Garp?"
Shanks had already guessed something, after all, Garp and Roger were the only ones he knew best here.
"What about your mother?"
Ace said in a somewhat depressed tone: “Dead.
Got implicated by that guy.
In order to avoid the search of the world government, she died after giving birth to me 20 months later..."
The world government is investigating? Could it be the Bateri Island incident?
No wonder they conduct extensive searches of pregnant women.
And at that time, Garp protected Ace and brought him back from Bateri Island to here.
In this way, everything makes sense.
Only Roger's son would be worthy of the world government's large-scale search for pregnant women in the hope of finding the Pirate King's son among them.
However, our pirate group obviously has so many people.
Why didn't Captain Roger contact us...
Even if you contact Mr. Rayleigh or Mr. Jabba, anyone will do.
If he had contacted us, Ace's mother might not have died...
Of course, Shanks didn't say this.
If Ace heard it, he would only hate Roger more and more.
Perhaps Captain Roger trusted Garp too much and thought that everything would be fine if he left his wife and children in the care of the unreliable Garp.
Who knew that she would eventually die after giving birth to Ace because she held it in for 20 months...
……
Next, Shanks talked to Ace about Roger's pirate group.
Trying to make Ace understand what kind of person Roger is.
In order to dispel the alienation he felt towards Roger.
But Ace looked like he was not easy to fool, so Shanks had to give up temporarily.
"Ace, don't worry, I will make you realize that becoming a pirate is the most romantic thing for a man.
How about coming to my ship and becoming a member of my crew?
Then we traveled on the sea together.
The sea is very free!"
Shanks did not give up and stretched out a hand to Ace who was sitting on the bed, and smiled and invited him to join the group again.
Shanks' smile is very contagious, giving people the urge to agree to his request regardless of the consequences.
Ace: "I refuse. I don't want to be a pirate!"
He didn't want to face that guy as a pirate.
If he saw himself becoming a pirate, he would definitely be very disappointed with him, the new leader of the Blue Sky Outer...
He didn't want to let him down!
The red-haired guy was a step too late after all, as Ace already had Lin in his heart.
Although Lin En usually appears to be very cold and speaks very little.
There was even an evil aura emanating from him that made people feel a little scared.
However, his performance during this period still had a profound impact on Ace.
He acts coldly, but the kindness he inadvertently reveals towards civilians always makes people unable to help but be moved.
During this period, he didn't know how many civilians he had helped.
A strong man actually helps ordinary people who are as lowly as chickens and ducks for free. This is a strange thing in One Piece itself...
Perhaps it was precisely because of the kind of person Lin En was that Mattia was deeply attracted by the radiance he exuded.
Not only Mattia, but also the navy and everyone on the island likes Lynn.
It gave him a terrifying cohesive force!
That was the power that the common people gathered around him!
Although Lin En has never said from the bottom of his heart that he is a good person or that his actions are just, everyone loves him.
……
The conversation is over.
Ace demands to see Sabo.
After a while, Sabo and the flag in his arms were brought over by the red-haired man.
When Ace saw Sabo, he excitedly shouted, "Sabo!"
"That's great, Ace!
You are okay too."
Sabo, with bandages wrapped around his body, excitedly came to Ace's bedside.
"It's okay, I just don't know why.
From the moment I woke up,
I have no strength in my body.
I couldn’t even stand up.”
Ace said with a headache, he didn't know what was wrong with his body.
"Haha, don't worry, you just awakened your Dominant Haki.
I just overused my Conqueror Haki, which caused me to become weak. I will be fine after resting for a while."
"Conqueror's Haki?" Ace was surprised. He remembered that Lin En had explained these power systems to them!
The domineering color is the supreme existence among the three colors of domineering.
Only one outstanding person can appear in one million people!
"Did I just activate that power?"
Ace looked at his hands in disbelief.
"What? Do you know Conqueror Haki? Did that mysterious guy tell you?
Do you want to join us?
Or you can sail with us for a while, and I can help you master your own Domineering Haki and control it at will."
The redhead released an alluring condition.
"Never."
Ace turned his head away with some pride and rejected the red-haired boy's three invitations.
"Sabo, help me get out of here. I don't want to stay on the pirate ship for a moment."
Sabo: “Okay.”
……
In this way, the two brothers supported each other and left here and left the red-haired Redfors.
Red Hair was also very honest and didn't do anything to them.
Two people walked along the dusk-filled coast.
Sabo: “It’s really strange.
These guys are different from the pirates we encountered before. They didn't choose to kill us."
Ace, who knew the truth, said, "Sabo, you are not allowed to speak well of pirates. A thief is a thief."
"No, I'm just curious as to why they let us go."
Ace naturally couldn't tell others that he was the son of the Pirate King, or that Red Hair was Roger's old subordinate, as that might have an impact on the team.
Sabo continued, “Ace, let’s go to the village and spend the night there.
Now we are all injured, it would be bad if we encounter wild animals on the road."
"It seems that this is the only way." Ace nodded, and at the same time, he was still thinking about what Shanks said about Roger.
Just as they were getting closer to the village, a childish voice was heard.
"Ace! Sabo!
So you are here?
But why do you look so badly injured?"
Luffy trotted over.
In his hand was a bunch of meatballs he had bought from the Makino Tavern.
"You are so brave. You dare to go through that dangerous jungle alone." Sabo said in surprise when he saw Luffy.
"Hehe, I'm getting stronger now. It won't be that easy for those beasts to catch up with me."
"Hey, Luffy!
Here, here! "
Shanks watched Ace leave on the boat.
I also noticed Luffy,
He waved excitedly on the boat and shouted with a smile: "It's been a long time!"
"Luffy? Where's Luffy?"
The members on the ship also crowded to the railing, vying to see Luffy.
“Shanks!
Great, you are all okay, hehe!"
Luffy noticed Shanks' presence on the ship, as well as the smell of a party coming from it.
After hurriedly saying goodbye to Ace Sabo, he ran up with big strides.
At this point, the Red Hair Boat became even more lively.
"cut."
Ace made a disdainful sound, and the two of them supported each other and limped towards the village...
While the two remained silent, Ace suddenly shouted: Hey, "Sabo."
Sabo: "What's wrong? Ace."
Ace: "Next we have to work harder, we have to become stronger quickly!
I don’t want Cang Zhi Tian Wai to be defeated again!”
After losing Lin En, Cang Zhi Tian Wai, who had always won every battle, suffered his first defeat...
"Well, Ace, don't worry!
We will never bring shame to the flag in our arms!" Sabo also shouted while looking at the flag in his arms with a firm gaze.
……
Time flies, and the years fly by.
North Sea, Kossel Islands,
After a period of development, everything is now on the right track.
Lynn also had some time to free up his hands.
"Mattia, let's go."
Lynn also stood up from Mattia's office chair after signing the documents in his hand.
Mattia on the side nodded obediently: "Okay, Mr. Lin En."
"However, the Germa Kingdom seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and there has been no trace of it..."
Before Xia Lu could finish her words, something that looked like a compass appeared in Lin En's hand and he threw it to Mattia who was standing beside him.
"Mr. Lin, what is this?"
……
