Ray of Justice: Pirate's Nightmare

"This voice is...it's Dad!"

Ace, who was in the labor camp, heard the sound of fighting and immediately concluded that his father was here.

He had been worried ever since he read that newspaper. What Ling Ye said to him at that time kept lingering in his ears like a nightmare, making him unable to eat or sleep at night.

Especially in the past few days, every time Ace struggled to fall asleep, he would always dream of his former companions dying one by one because of saving him. Such mental torture almost drove Ace crazy.

He prays every day that the brothers of the Whitebeard Pirates don't come to Rogge Town and don't sacrifice their lives to save him.

But now, the situation he least expected to see happened.

If there is such a big commotion in Rogge Town, where the new naval base is located, there is a high probability that my father has not run away!

"Hey, Luffy, my dad and the redhead might be here."

Ace nudged Luffy, who was sleeping on the side. There was no labor camp today, so he and Luffy stayed in the room.

"What's the matter, Ace?"

Luffy asked as he struggled to open his eyes.

"Don't you always want to see the red hair? He should be here."

Ace looked helplessly at his big-hearted brother.

Since arriving here, Luffy has been eating well and sleeping well all day long, and seems to have no worries at all.

"Shanks? Where is it?"

Hearing Ace say that his childhood idol was here, Luffy suddenly woke up and looked around at the red-haired figure of the seeker.

There was a crisp clashing sound between the fist and the head.

"You idiot, why are you here! I think it was with my father that we faced Ling Ye and those people."

"Are you fighting? I really want to see it! Shanks will definitely win, right?!"

Luffy's eyes were full of stars, and he had blind admiration for the man who left a majestic figure in his childhood.

Ace was noncommittal about this. Can the red-haired Yonko win over Ling Ye, the new marshal of the navy? If it were before he came to Rogge Town, maybe he would still have hope for this.

But it was different now. As for the outcome of the battle between Hongfa and Ling Ye, he already had the answer in his heart.

The red hair will lose, even his father will lose against Ling Ye.

That man was so powerful that there was no weakness in him at all.

Ace has seen many strong men, so he knows very well that although strong men are powerful, they are not without weaknesses. On the contrary, the more powerful people are, the less likely they are to hide their weaknesses, because their strength is enough to make up for their weaknesses.

But Ace couldn't see any weaknesses in Ling Ye. Strong strength and firm belief.

Both body and soul are as formidable as Optimus Prime.

"Luffy, I want to go take a look, what about you?"

The more Ace thought about it, the more panicked he became, and there was no way he could stay here with peace of mind.

When Luffy heard this, he looked at Ace expectantly: "What should we do? I also want to see Shanks."

Ace nodded: "Then you have to grit your teeth!"

The labor reform personnel of the New Navy are pretty good. They will treat injuries and illnesses and will not ignore them.

Ace planned to let Luffy bleed some, knock him out when the guards came in to check the situation, and then escape from prison.

Luffy was still confused when he saw Ace suddenly raised his hands, and the sea stone handcuffs hit Luffy's head directly, causing Luffy to bleed immediately.

"Come on, something happened! Someone is injured here!"

Ace immediately shouted.

The guards heard the noise and walked to the room where Luffy and Ace were locked up. Seeing blood pouring from Luffy's head, the guards were stunned and hurried in to check the situation.

Ace quietly came up behind the guard, trying to repeat his old trick and knock the guard unconscious with sea-stone handcuffs.

But during the smashing process, the target suddenly changed from the guard's head to the back of his neck.

"Hey, Luffy, get up and leave!"

Ace felt a little shaken in his heart.

Just now, he actually thought about the life of this guard.

He knew Luffy's physical condition, so it didn't matter if he hit him on the head, there wouldn't be any problem. But this guard was different. If he hit him like he hit Luffy, the guard might die.

He was moved by compassion, so he did not hit the guard on the head with the sea-stone handcuffs.

Originally, he thought he could escape smoothly to find his father and the others, but he never expected that as soon as he went out, he saw Dasqi leaning against the wall with a knife on his waist.

"How could you..."

Ace suddenly lowered his head as if frustrated.

"Are you trying to tell me why I'm here? Portcas D. Ace, your actions have been anticipated by Marshal Ling Ye. Otherwise, why do you think the guard just went in alone so easily? You may not be aware that in order to prevent our personnel from having problems and the reform-through-labor personnel needing medical treatment, three guards need to be present at the same time to prevent them from being attacked by the reform-through-labor personnel."

Dasqi looked at Ace expressionlessly.

After Dasqi said this, Ace remembered that this was indeed the case. But in the past, there were quite a lot of guards, so there were more than three people present without having to specifically call, so he didn't notice this detail.

"So, he came in on purpose?"

Ace didn't understand why the New Navy side wanted to do such troublesome things. They knew their intentions, but they still wanted to let people into the room.

"This is a test for you. If you had aimed at the guard's head just now, you would be dead now."

Dashiqi said seriously.

Just now, her knife had been unsheathed. As long as she senses that Ace wants to smash the head of the guard, she will use the knife in her hand to stop Ace.

"What's the purpose? Why do you want to test me like this?"

Ace asked Dusky in confusion.

"Portcas D. Ace, not everyone needs to be saved, and not everyone has the possibility of being saved. No one can save a stubborn person, and there is no point in saving a person who doesn't know how to save himself.

In the end, you can only save yourself.

If you are ready for enlightenment, go to the east, where everything will end.

The above are the exact words of Marshal Ling Ye.

The choice is yours. Go or not go, it's up to you. "

After Dasqi finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Aren't you worried that Luffy and I will run away and never come back?"

Ace really can't understand the operation of the new navy.

Dasqi paused and chuckled: "You still don't understand what Marshal Ling Ye means by ending everything. Just be prepared before you go."

After saying that, Dasqi left without looking back.
