Pirates: Get the Blade of Fire at the beginning

"Kate, you know the rules of our Whitebeard Pirates." Marco said slowly, "The position of captain has always belonged to Dad. Whitebeard's last wish and the unity of the pirate group are also the most important things to us."

"But your father is dead, this is an established fact!" Kate said without any hesitation.

Whether standing or sitting, all the members of the Whitebeard Pirates stared at Kate in front of them with wide eyes!

These people's fierce gazes did not put any pressure on Kate at all!

Kate looked at Marco in front of her and said, "You know, a mature organization cannot be without a leader for a day! Especially for a large pirate group like yours!"

Marco took a deep breath, his eyes were sharp, he looked directly at Kate, his voice was steady and firm: "Kate, you are right, an organization cannot be without a leader for a day. But our pirate group is not just an organization, it is a big family, a big family formed by my father's last wish and our beliefs."

He looked around at his companions who also had determined eyes, and continued, "Whitebeard's last wish was that our pirate group could continue sailing, exploring unknown waters, and searching for true freedom and justice. This last wish, this belief, is the true soul of our pirate group."

"Moreover," Marco paused, his tone more resolute, "My father once said before he passed away that the position of captain of a pirate group is not determined by strength or status, but depends on who can better inherit his wishes and lead everyone forward."

"Then have you found someone to inherit Whitebeard's will?" Kate interrupted before Marco finished his long speech.

Upon hearing this, Marco turned his attention to Ace, or rather, many people turned their attention to Ace.

Kate looked at this scene and understood that perhaps the problem still lay with Ace!

Kate turned his attention to Ace and said, "So, what are you hesitating about?"

Ace was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "I don't think I can lead well, and if it weren't for my dad, I wouldn't..."

Ace's voice gradually became low, and it was obvious that he felt guilty and regretful for the past. Kate looked at Ace, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. She knew that Ace had always been deeply influenced by Whitebeard, and he had a deep sense of responsibility and unspeakable worries about the future of the Pirate Group.

"Ace, I understand your concerns." Kate spoke slowly, her voice full of understanding and comfort, "But you know what? Whitebeard chose you not only because you are his godson, but also because of your strength and potential. He believes that you can inherit his will and lead the pirate group to move forward."

Ace raised his head, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, but then he became confused again: "But, can I really do it? I'm afraid I will disappoint my father's expectations."

"No one is born to be a leader." Kate encouraged, "Whitebeard started out as an ordinary pirate and became a great pirate step by step. You have his beliefs. As long as you work hard, you will definitely become an outstanding captain."

Marco also came forward and patted Ace on the shoulder: "Ace, we all believe in you. The Pirates need your leadership, and we need your strength. Don't be afraid, don't hesitate, and pursue your dreams bravely!"

Ace looked at Marco and Kate, tears in his eyes. He took a deep breath, as if to put all his hesitation and worries behind him. He stood up, his eyes firm: "I understand, I will work hard to become a qualified captain, inherit my father's last wish, and lead everyone to move forward!"

As Ace finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire pirate group became heated. Everyone cheered and applauded Ace's decision. They knew that in their hearts, Ace was already their most trusted captain.

Kate's eyes flickered, and she took advantage of Ace's inattention.

Stuff a huge, unpeeled white devil fruit into Ace's mouth!

The devil fruit immediately choked Ace's throat, making him unable to swallow it. Kate did not make any unnecessary movements.

He raised his hand and hit Ace on the head with a knife, and in an instant the devil fruit slid into Ace's stomach.

"Damn Kate! You want to kill us!" Ace, who had recovered, immediately grabbed Kate's neck and shook her.

Kate rolled her eyes, while the Whitebeard members stared at the scene in amazement!

The main reason was that what just happened was too sudden, causing everyone to be unable to react.

But, what is certain is that what Kate just fed Ace is a devil fruit.

"Damn it! Bastard, do you want to kill Ace?!" Marco was instantly shocked.

After all, in his understanding, there is other opposite sex besides Blackbeard Teach.

No one can eat two devil fruits in a row!

Marco's voice echoed in the cabin, full of shock and anger. The surrounding crew members also gathered around, some with horror on their faces, while others looked at Kate and Ace in confusion.

Kate ignored Marco's anger. He looked at Ace who was suddenly subdued by him, with a cunning look in his eyes: "Ace! This devil fruit is specially prepared for you. You can't let me down and waste it on you!"

Ace struggled to free himself from Kate's grasp. He covered his throat and coughed a few times, then glared at Kate: "What do you mean by this? And what kind of devil fruit did you feed me?"

"What devil fruit? Haven't you felt it yourself?" Kate said with a sigh.

Ace's body stiffened. He indeed felt a different kind of power flowing through his body.

Moreover, this power did not conflict with the Flame-Flame Fruit in his body!

Ace involuntarily stretched out his hand and clenched his fist, and a circle of white light wrapped around Ace's fist!

"This is it!" Ace said with a dry mouth.

"This is the power of the 'Tremor-Tremor Fruit'!" Kate calmly revealed the answer, his eyes flashing with pride and anticipation.

The crew members around were stunned by this scene. The Tremor-Tremor Fruit, which is the same ability as Whitebeard's father, this powerful fruit that can cause the earth to tremble, has just returned to the Whitebeard Pirates at this time!

Marco's eyes were filled with shock, and he said to Ace seriously, "Ace, when you used your ability, did the power of the fruit in your body conflict?"
