Pirates of the Holy Light Sword

Chapter 188 Ace's Determination

"Uncle Wright! You are the Navy!"

Ace's words revealed shock and confusion—the navy is the largest armed force controlled by the world's ZF!
"Yes, I am the navy. But who are the vast majority of the navy?"

Wright smiled slightly: "He is a person with a heart for justice. Even the scum in the navy, most of them were passionate when they first joined the navy, in the name of justice!"

"But the current navy is far from being an embodiment of justice - its role is only to maintain stability!"

"Maintaining the rule of the world ZF and the Tianlong people, combating the factors of instability, and eliminating the enemies of the world ZF - maintaining justice is only a small part of the navy's duties."

"Many navies have discovered that what they do is not just...even some things are against justice!"

"So they are confused, confused, or depraved—they have no face to face the reality and are powerless to change the status quo."

In the eyes of Ace who seemed to understand something, Wright opened his arms and showed a bright smile—as if he wanted to embrace the world:

"Ace! Don't you think it's really great to bring the navy out of chaos and become the embodiment of justice?"

"If the world is peaceful, there will be no soil for pirates to exist. If people know the truth of the world, how will they evaluate One Piece and this era?!"

"you……"

Ace only felt that the figure in front of him, at this moment, was more majestic, more reckless, and... more radiant than his grandfather Garp!
It was very good of Uncle Wright to say this to himself.

It's really great to have someone who cares about yourself and teaches yourself.

"Uncle Wright, what do you say..."

Ace stood up too, his jet-black hair fluttering in the breeze from Mount Korpo.

"I don't seem to... I can't hate that guy dad anymore."

"Whether you hate it or not, it doesn't happen overnight, Ace."

Wright patted Ace on the shoulder: "But you have enough time to think before you officially decide on your life."

"Roger is a complicated man, but he is him and you are you."

"If you can't sort out your feelings for him, then use your own name to live on, use the perspective of a bystander, experience experience, and judge Roger and this era!"

"I understand……"

Ace took a deep breath: "Uncle Wright, I want to be a pirate, partly because pirates are the freest people in the world."

"I am bound by the identity of 'Son of One Piece', yearning for freedom."

"Dadan and the others said bad things about the navy, such as how grandpa threatened them to accept me and Luffy..."

"But in fact, I also thought about becoming a navy like my grandfather."

Wright raised his eyebrows: "Have you thought about becoming a navy?"

"How can it be possible that the things that grandpa has been talking about since he was a child have never thought about it..."

Ace smiled wryly: "Especially I hate my father who is the 'One Piece'. It seems good to join the navy, destroy the pirates, and personally end the era of great pirates he started."

"Although the navy is not as free as the pirates, at least people will not hear the name of the navy and be as scared as they are when they hear the pirates."

"As long as grandpa can guarantee, if my identity is found out by the navy, they won't arrest me directly..."

Ace laughed twice, then fell silent again.

"However, the matter of Sabo... made me completely extinguish this idea."

"Dadan said that it was this country and this world that ruined Saab."

"The Celestial Dragons destroyed Sabo's ship. From our point of view, Sabo was already dead!"

"And the navy is here to protect the Celestial Dragons—let me become a navy and protect those guys? How is that possible!"

"Therefore, I can only become a pirate! Only by becoming a pirate beyond One Piece can I affirm the meaning of my existence!"

Ace looked up at Wright: "But what you told me...whether it is the secret of One Piece or the secret of the navy, your wish..."

"I found that I am not so attached to becoming a pirate."

"Stinky boy!"

Wright gave Ace a brain crash, and the latter screamed in pain.

"Why, do you want to follow my uncle? I'm still so cowardly... I was beaten and thrown into the navy by your grandfather because I was so awkward back then!"

No, Uncle Wright, are you bragging or demeaning?

Ace smiled and said, "I haven't decided yet... I want to spend some time thinking about it. But, you can't tell grandpa about this!"

"Well, tell the old man Garp that he will probably take you to the headquarters and put you in the Naval Academy tomorrow."

Wright curled his lips: "However, my current status is not enough. Even if you have your grandfather, even the old man from the Warring States period can help with the operation... there is no guarantee that your status will not cause trouble in the Navy."

"I need to go one step further, so that I can gather the strength of me, your grandfather, and the old man from the Warring States Period, so that the world's ZF will not take compulsory measures because of your identity disclosure."

"So sure enough, my identity is still a big problem!"

Ace said helplessly: "Why don't I go to sea first to become an adventurer? As long as I don't hang the pirate flag, don't do bad things, and don't offer rewards, I can last until you become... a general, right?"

"Hey! Look, your brain is very easy to use, Ace!"

Wright was quite surprised - although he said so much before, he really wanted to draw Ace into the naval camp, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good - this kid has already started to use his brain!
Ace, Sabo, Luffy, these three brothers... navy, revolutionary army, pirates?

It's...awesome!

but……

"Ace, at your age, it's easy to make impulsive choices because of some things—didn't you make an appointment to go to sea at the age of 17?"

Wright tapped Ace on the head: "There are exactly two years left, and in these two years, you should think carefully about it."

"If you still think this way after you go to sea, then follow what you said, don't fly the pirate flag, be an adventurer first, wait for my uncle to go further, and personally pick you up into the navy!"

"If you change your mind and still want to be a pirate..."

The corner of Wright's mouth was raised: "Then we meet again, we are enemies, even if you call me uncle, I will not show mercy?"

Ace: "Uncle Wright... are you sure you're not threatening me!"

The previous lesson on burning fruit was to increase Ace's chances of survival if he was still a pirate-whether it was not to be caught by Blackbeard, or not to be killed by Sakasky!

But if it becomes a navy...will there still be "Fire Fist" Ace?Burning fruit, when did it appear?

Shaking his head, Wright didn't think about it any more - it would be better to have Shao Shao Guo, and even if it didn't, Ace would still be Ace, that's enough.

"Elder Brother—"

In the distance, Kuina's voice came, and Luffy's shout: "Makino is real! I have grown up! I want to drink too!"

"No! Children can only drink fruit juice! Aunt Makino knew that you were dishonest, so she made a point of confessing!"

"...they are quite fast!"

Wright patted Ace: "Let's go back to the mountain—Old man Garp must be waiting."

"Don't think about it too much, have a good meal today—would you like to try some good wine from Makino? I was never afraid of drinking when I was your age!"

"Uncle Wright, I've been drinking!"

"...you brat!"
