Pirates of the Holy Light Sword

Chapter 187 The Secret That Can't Be Said
"Ace..."

Wright looked at Ace who was thinking silently, and Kuina was also a little curious about this boy who was about the same age as her.

This is Grandpa Garp's grandson, although Grandpa Garp wants to teach them a lesson... But Guina understands that the boy in front of him is really not weak.

That fellow Luffy, what he ate was a devil fruit, and it was also the secret treasure of the sea that he wanted to use to break through the shackles of gender—but the devil fruit is really amazing, Luffy was beaten by himself with a bamboo sword, and it didn't hurt at all!

I don't know what kind of devil fruit I will get...

Kuina fell into reverie, and Luffy also looked at the pensive Ace, feeling that his brother had changed a lot from before.

"Guina."

"Big Brother?"

"Let's take Luffy around the village and buy some wine at Makino's tavern."

"Okay!" Kuina was smart, took Bailey from Wright and pulled Luffy away.

"Huh? We just came up from the village..."

"Stop talking, take my sister and me to see Aunt Makino, didn't I just go?"

"Oh, good!"

……

Kuina and Luffy's voices became farther and farther away until they could no longer be heard.

Ace let out a long breath and finally spoke.

"Uncle Wright, whether you are a pirate or a navy, you have two sides."

"Of course. Over the years, you have seen mostly civilians and pirates. Maybe your impression of the navy is just... incompetent?"

Wright smiled: "But how can the navy be incompetent if it has been able to suppress the sea for hundreds of years..."

"It's just involuntary... The root is above."

"Your father Roger, although he is called 'the most evil man in the world'..."

"But have you ever wondered why?"

"This...does everyone in the world think so?" Ace was a little confused.

"The reason why Roger is called One Piece is because he conquered the great route and arrived at the final island 'Ralph Drew', not because of how many countries he slaughtered, how many people he killed, and how many navies he defeated!"

Wright said slowly: "The world's ZF didn't even dare to disclose his real name, but called him 'Goldo Roger', and 'D' was hidden!"

"Could it be... that the ZF of the world is... scared?"

Ace couldn't believe it—he's not stupid, and now he, after Wright's education, has learned to think about problems from all aspects.

The death of his own father, Roger, seems to be full of doubts now.

Wright's words quickly confirmed his guess.

"This is a secret that cannot be revealed..."

"Your father Roger... surrendered himself!"

"what?!"

Ace said in shock: "But the world's ZF announced that they have arrested..."

"Arrest Roger? Your grandfather didn't even admit it, everything is just a lie of the world ZF to show off its force-have you ever seen the other crew members of One Piece being arrested?"

Wright interrupted Ace's words: "Under the protection of so many powerful crew members, Roger was captured alive, and no crew came to rescue him when he was executed—even if all the lieutenants, generals, and marshals of the navy went together at that time, it would not be possible!"

"..."

Ace was too shocked to speak.

"Shocked? Confused? Why didn't the world notice this? Why did One Piece turn himself in?"

"People in the world are forgetful - no one will care about the dead One Piece."

Wright sighed, sat next to Ace, and patted him on the back.

"Four years before the public execution, Roger had already suffered from an incurable disease-he arrived in Lough Drew with a terminal illness!"

"Incurable disease..." Ace murmured, he was completely confused by Wright's secret news one after another.

"That's right. Roger knew that time was running out. After returning from Ralph Drew, he made some arrangements, surrendered himself to the navy, and..."

Wright took a deep look at Ace: "I entrust you to old man Garp!"

"Entrust your bloodline to the enemy who has fought with him all his life, old man Garp!"

"..."

Ace came back to his senses and bit his lip: "So, why did he let me be born in this world!"

"He wants you to inherit his will and reveal the truth of the world to the world!"

"He discovered the truth that was hidden by the world government for 800 years, and he understood that the world has been deceived by huge lies for 800 years... He understands what kind of sacrifice is needed to reveal all this!"

Wright said seriously: "If he is not terminally ill, if he has enough time, if..."

"But he didn't. He was born in the wrong era, and he can only pin his hopes on this era!"

"What Roger did was to shake the foundation of the world ZF's 800-year rule. Therefore, the world ZF is afraid. They want to brand Roger as the most evil person and let the world continue to be immersed in this pool of stagnant water. Sorry. Waves!"

"But who is Roger? He is the King of Pirates! He put all his eggs in one basket and stirred up this pool of stagnant water with his own death, making it impossible for the world ZF to eliminate the waves!"

Wright stared closely at the speechless Ace: "Whether to inherit his will, you have the final say."

"But you must know that what you have always thought is that your own blood is not simply 'evil', which can be summed up!"

Ace was stunned for a while, then suddenly burst into tears, and said in a low voice, "There is also...'freedom' and 'struggle', is it... the pursuit of the truth?"

Cap never told Ace about Roger.

Ace has been like ordinary people since he was sensible - the Roger he knows is the Roger "packaged" by the world's ZF in the eyes of the world!
If when Shanks came to the East China Sea, he knew that Ace was not far away on Mount Korpo...

Perhaps, Ace will not go to extremes, hating his own life experience!

"So, Ace...you are free, you don't have to hate the so-called bloodlines - Sabo and I are also of noble origin, Sabo and I both hate nobles, but we don't hate our origins!"

"You can't decide your origin, but you can decide your own future!"

"Whether you want to hate a wrong goal for the rest of your life, or pursue the truth and be free and open-minded, I hope you think about it carefully."

"...Uncle Wright, why do you know so clearly?"

Ace calmed down, everything Wright said to him almost subverted his cognition in the past ten years.

However, Wright seems to understand better than Garp who has gone through all this!
"Because, although the means are different, my goal is similar to your father's..."

"So, I pay attention to some hidden details."

"What Roger did did great harm to the world, and the number of pirates was catalyzed to its peak by him!"

"So, I don't agree with his methods. If I was born in the same era as him, I will definitely make him pay the price!"

Standing up, Wright faced Ace's changing eyes and said seriously:
"But there is indeed a problem with this world. It has been polluted by a group of garbage called 'Dragon People' for 800 years, and that organization called 'World ZF' has covered up the truth of the world for 800 years!"

"People are in the dark and don't know it because they haven't seen the light for 800 years!"

"But I'm different, I...was bathed in the light!"

"I know that the darkness before the dawn is the deepest, but the darkness will fade away, and the dawn will eventually come!"

Wright raised his right hand, and a golden light appeared in his palm.

"I am the light of hope!"
