"Has Whitebeard always been like this?"

Ace, the cook on the Moby Dick, was holding a hammer and hammering away, repairing the wall that had been broken by him yesterday.

Even after sitting alone for a whole night, Ace still didn't figure it out. From the moment he guessed Xiao Xuehua's identity, confusion had never left Ace's mind.

This is why he got himself into such an embarrassing situation.

"What do you mean?" Sachi continued to prepare the dishes without stopping.

"Taking the pirates who want to take my life into my own hands..."

"Pfft." Thatch seemed to be amused by Ace's words. He stopped preparing the food and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't realize that you are the type who would get stuck in a rut. Don't think too much."

"Not everyone can attract Ou Yaji's attention..." Sachi turned to look at Ace who had stopped moving: "At the beginning... let me think, it should be Xiao Dawei who mentioned it to Ou Yaji after she came back from her adventure. What were her original words..."

"Ou Yaji, I found a very interesting person, I think you should like him!"

Ace stared at Thatch in a daze. So this is how Little Snowflake described himself...

"Ou Yaji is actually a very easy-to-understand person. He is a veteran pirate and appreciates those who have the spirit of a pirate."

"Well... how should I put it? Little Davey's words are part of it, but didn't you also fight against Ou Yaji and use your own life to protect your crew members?"

"Oya Guitar, I love idiots like you the most."

Tilting his head, as if thinking that what he said was not perfect enough, Thatch added another sentence.

At that time, in Ou Yaji's eyes, Ace should have been a pretty good captain...

"I..." Ace opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but stopped talking and continued to repair the wall in silence.

"In fact, at this point, no one will stop you if you want to leave. No matter how slow you are, you should have figured out that Ou Yaji has been indulging you."

"Crack!"

With a force on his hands, the already crooked wall became even more dilapidated due to Ace's distraction.

"Thatch... take me to see Whitebeard, I have something to say to him..." Ace lowered his head and his expression could not be seen clearly.

"You finally figured it out..."

"..."

"Wait a minute Ace, you said I brought you here because you had something to say to dad, what do you mean?"

In the captain's room, Thatch stood behind Ace, obviously surprised by what he said.

As for the two chairs opposite, Whitebeard sat in the middle with no expression on his face. Dawi was curled up in a chair beside her, stroking Kodaz from time to time in her hand. After listening to Ace's words, she raised her eyebrows with a smile on her face.

"Wait, let me sort this out, Ace." Thatch stretched out a hand and scratched his long bun. "You said Ou Yaji did you a favor, right? What kind of favor do you mean?"

"He never treated my crew badly in terms of food!"

"Hey, hey, just eat this yourself." Sachi complained helplessly: "And this is not the most important point, so you still don't plan to join Ou Yaji's army, right?"

Faced with Thatch's complaints, Ace obviously found it difficult to understand.

"In short, it's a favor of a meal and a place to stay... If you borrow, you have to pay it back! If you eat, you have to work! I have been like this since I was a child. As for other ways to repay a favor, I am not sure..."

"Have you been doing this since you were a child..." A hint of doubt flashed across Dawi's eyes, but then she remembered that Ace said he grew up in a den of bandits, and a hint of understanding flashed across her eyes.

This poor child.

"So do you want to join our pirate group and become Daddy's son?" Thatch obviously had some difficulty understanding.

"no!"

Ace pointed at Kodaz in Devi's arms, who meowed in confusion, "I'll repay the favor! Just like Kodaz!"

"? There's no need to go to this extent." Dai Wei obviously misunderstood.

Ignoring Dawi's words, Ace continued, "As a captain, I can't break the pirate rules! So... give me work to do!"

Ace, who was confused about what "repaying a favor" meant, decided to throw all the questions to Dewi and Whitebeard.

"You can ask me to do anything! No matter what it is! I will challenge you and repay your kindness at the same time!"

"Give you...something to do?" Davy showed the same expression as Thatch, and looked at Ace in confusion: "What can you, a newcomer with a bounty of over 100 million, do? Do odd jobs?"

"If I just do odd jobs, I'm afraid I won't be able to repay all the favors in my lifetime." Ace said seriously: "I really want to do something. It would be best if I can keep repaying the favors. In this way, I can keep challenging you."

"Oh——" Devi sighed. As expected, she knew that Ace would not be able to think clearly so easily.

All I can say is, this is very Ace.

"Ah? What did you say?" Sachi opened his mouth wide. What does it mean to repay a favor all the time?

"Gulala, interesting kid... Is that so..." Unexpectedly, Whitebeard did not seem surprised or unbelievable about Ace's words. Instead, he quickly accepted it and laughed out loud.

"Yes!" Ace responded briefly and seriously.

"Okay, I agree, kid, that's all you have to say."

"Wait! Ace! And Ou Yaji! Wait a moment! Even if Ou Yaji agrees! Xiao Dawei and I will not agree to such a ridiculous thing! You have been defeated by Ou Yaji dozens of times in a row..."

"To be exact, it's sixty-eight times." Dawei said calmly: "I will naturally not refute Ou Yaji's decision, but Ace..."

"There has to be a deadline. Let's set a number. Let me think about it... If it's sixty-eight times, how about a hundred times?"

"Okay." Whitebeard and Ace nodded at the same time.

"Ah...why are you all..." Sachi sighed helplessly.

"Davi, then take him to work. Just let him... wash the dishes first. You, the little 'Fire Fist' kid... when the time comes, there will naturally be important things for you to do, gulalalala."

Whitebeard laughed happily and waved at Ace and the others.

Devi hugged Kodaz and stood up with a smile.

"Come on, Ace, I'll give you some work to do."
