Pirate: Ace just wants to get up

"Why become a Navy."

Garp repeated this sentence silently. This sentence reminded him of a person, his son, Long. The two of them actually said the same thing.

"Yeah..why become a navy?"

Ace looked at Garp who suddenly fell into self-thinking, and was a little confused. His expression didn't look like he was being asked by him at all, but rather he was recalling and sighing with emotion.

He didn't speak and waited quietly.

Finally, with a sigh from Garp, the long silence ended.

Garp looked at Ace, his brows furrowed, but he soon relaxed: "Ace...if you become a navy, you can go to many places to save areas ruled by pirates like Cocoa West Village."

Ace looked at Garp. From his perspective, who was familiar with the plot of One Piece, this was indeed a joke.

A region ruled by pirates, Alabasta was almost robbed, and everything seems to be normal in Dressrosa now, but what about the countless enslaved toys?

Putting these two aside, what about the evil dragon?In the end, it wasn't him, a bounty hunter, who solved it?

There are many situations like Cocoa West Village on the islands of the Grand Line, and there are even places where they were suppressed by the naval base chief.

Ace wanted to say all this directly, but in the end he shook his head and said: "Old man, if becoming a navy can really save a situation like Cocoa Nishi Village? Then why has it been seven years and they haven't been rescued yet? Rescue, I know a girl whose mother was killed by a dragon when she was young. Do you know how she survived? In order to save the village, she was willing to join the pirate group that killed her mother and make a deal with the pirates. Buy back your village with [-] million beli.”

"Do you know how it ends?"

Ace gave the answer before Garp could answer.

"When the girl was about to save [-] million beli, the pirates notified the navy to confiscate the [-] million beli that the girl was about to get."

"Impossible, it's impossible for the Navy to do such a thing. Tell me who it is and I'll give him a headbutt right now." Garp didn't believe that such a thing would happen.

Ace just looked at him. If he had taken Garp three years later, he would have taken Garp with him, but now he just shook his head.

"I don't think that girl wants to see the navy."

Garp frowned and looked at Ace: "We haven't seen each other for a year, why don't you act awkward."

Ace looked away.

I can't tell you that Ace is no longer the Ace he used to be.

"Anyway, old man, I don't want to be a navy. I want to build a country, a country without war and oppression."

"..."

Garp looked at Ace, and in a daze, he saw Gol D. Roger, and seemed to see his stubborn son. The shadows of the two seemed to be kneaded together at this moment.

He rubbed his eyes and looked at Ace, his expression became even more complicated.

It was so complicated that he now wanted to drag the child and throw it in his face.

"If the old man asks you to be a navy, you have to be a navy!"

The big hand directly picked up Ace's collar and grabbed him as if he were holding a chicken. Ace twisted his body twice before giving up. He had been operated like this since he was a child, so it was somewhat of a conditioned reflex. After all, it was causing trouble. It was his head that suffered.

I still remember that when he and Luffy were caught, they struggled desperately and ended up with bruises.

"Old man, can you give me Uncle Long's phone number?"

Garp, who was walking forward, stiffened: "When did you know about dragons?"

"village head."

"Tsk..." Garp scratched his head. He definitely wouldn't give it to him. It would be annoying if he went out alone. If Ace goes out, it would be really difficult.

"I don't want to join the revolutionary army, I just want to give something to one of his men. If you are willing to give it, I don't need the phone."

"what?"

Ace took out the Shashao Fruit from the package and said, "This is for Sabo."

"Devil Fruit? You can get very powerful power by eating this thing. Are you really willing to give it to me? Speaking of Sabo... it sounds familiar." Garp was surprised. Devil Fruit is a very rare thing in the Navy. After eating it, he will be in the Navy. All have good treatment.Whether it is animal type, superhuman type or natural type.

Ace shook his head: "The friend I used to play with Luffy is now on the dragon's side. This thing is just right for him. After all, it's more dangerous there."

Garp picked up the Devil Fruit and handed it back to Ace, saying, "You should give this to him yourself."

"Is this your phone number?!" Ace was a little happy, but also a little surprised. After all, many people wanted Monkey D Dragon's phone number.

"I can give it to you, but there is a condition: join the navy."

"do not want!"

"boom"

The answer was the iron fist of love, and Ace had a bump on his head.

"Don't interrupt the old man, one year! No matter what, you have to stay in the Navy for one year! After one year, you can leave the Navy, and then I can give you the phone." Garp gave the conditions.

Ace was silent, he could clearly feel Garp's feelings, or in other words, this was Garp's last stubbornness.

Ace actually knew the reason. He still remembered that two years ago, when Garp returned to the village to visit him and Luffy, he said that you would join the navy in a few years. As a result, he and Luffy shook their heads together and threatened to become Pirates, I still remember that when Luffy was beaten, his bag almost reached the ceiling.

Dadana would give Luffy medicine to reduce swelling every day.

But now that he went to sea, he did not appear in the public eye as a pirate, which gave Garp hope.

Yes, despite what Garp said about letting the two brothers become marines, in fact, it only meant that they would have to use their hands at most, but he did not actually enforce it.

Mr. Garp has always been an old man who loves his children.

The old man burst into tears on the execution platform and was unable to stop him when facing Luffy, which is enough to explain a lot of things.

Ace didn't want to make it difficult for Garp.

He sighed and tried to convince himself, or rather, the other half of Ace.

After a brief silence, Ace nodded and said: "One year later, you said so. But old man, I can promise you one thing, I will never become a pirate."

"Okay! It's a word."

Garp laughed out loud, this time it was worth it.

Ace shook his head and smiled bitterly, just go and learn Haki and Six Styles.

"Old man, I want to say goodbye to someone later. Don't worry, I won't run away."

Garp looked suspicious, which made Ace helpless.

Under Garp's supervision, Ace and Nami said goodbye.

With Nami's confused expression, Ace got on the warship heading to the navy headquarters.

"I didn't expect that I would really become a marine...I have fallen." Ace looked into the distance on the deck: "I don't know what Sabo and Luffy's expressions will be like when they know that I have become a marine. They must not understand."
