Ray of Justice: Pirate's Nightmare

Who could have imagined that a boy picked up at sea would later do this.

"Haha, Mr. Garp."

Ling Ye smiled modestly.

"Here we are, Lieutenant General Garp, Marshal Ling Ye."

Following Dusqi's reminder, Garp adjusted his mood.

The prison door was opened.

Ever since Sabo's visit, Luffy and Ace had been in a very low mood even though they had not continued to fast from water and food.

Looking at the two people with drooped eyelids and listlessness, Garp couldn't help but feel angry.

"Two bastards! Grit your teeth!"

"Grandpa, grandpa!?"

"O-Old man!?"

不待两人有所反应，艾斯和路飞便被卡普的爱之铁拳揍飞到墙边。

"Two idiots! Look what you look like! If I had known you would become like this, I would have taken you into the navy when you were young!"

Garp didn't care about their face, and scolded Ling Ye and Dasqi mercilessly in front of the two "outsiders".

If he hadn't been soft-hearted and hesitant back then, he would have brought Luffy and Ace to live in the living area of ​​​​Marinvando. How would there be any chance that these two brats would go to sea to become pirates?

If you hesitate, you will really lose.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world, so all he can do is remedy it.

The two of them sat on the ground, stroking the face that had been beaten by Garp with their hands, and their expressions instantly returned to their previous depression.

"Two idiots! Stand up!"

Garp grabbed the two of them by their collars with excitement and pushed them against the wall.

"You two bastards, why do you have to worry me so much! Even if you want to be an ordinary person? Why do you want to be a pirate!"

The naval hero who was famous for his strength actually looked remorseful at this moment.

"Old man, don't do this."

"Grandpa, grandpa."

Ace and Luffy were inevitably shocked when they saw Garp like this.

They had never seen Garp look like this, and they had never imagined Garp having such an expression.

"Yes, I'm sorry, old man."

Ace apologized to Garp suddenly.

"Ace?"

Luffy looked at Ace stupidly. With his brain, he had no idea why Ace suddenly apologized to Garp.

"Ace..."

Even Garp himself didn't expect Ace to apologize to him.

From Garp's point of view, Ace is a very independent and stubborn child. He originally thought that Ace would be stubborn and believed that he was not wrong. I was afraid that he would have to use a lot of loving iron fists to wake up this idiot grandson, but the result was very unexpected. Unexpected.

During the period after the Whitebeard Pirates disappeared, Ace thought about many things.

He does not regret becoming a pirate and joining the Whitebeard Pirates. It can even be said that during those days with the Whitebeard Pirates, he found the meaning of life. He originally thought he could live like this forever.

But after he was captured by Garp from the Whitebeard Pirates and sent to the New Navy, he felt something. Perhaps, he will never be able to return to the Whitebeard Pirates in this life. He even felt that maybe the era of pirates would really end at the hands of this man, Ling Ye.

As if in response to his feelings, the end of the great pirate era began with the demise of the Whitebeard and Red-Haired Pirates.

Anger, sadness, despair, and then peace.

Ace has given up on hating Ling Ye, hating the new navy, and looking for opportunities to take revenge.

He knew that no matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to catch up with Ling Ye, and revenge was obviously impossible.

Under this premise, he began to examine Ling Ye and the actions of the New Navy.

The more you understand, the more you think.

The more Ace lost, the more he felt that he, and even the entire pirate community, was insignificant.

Nothing is wrong, nothing is wrong. Even if he tried his best to find faults, he couldn't find any faults.

Compared to what the new navy does, the pirates look like clowns. Even the Pirate King is just the Clown King.

As Ling Ye said, the destruction of pirates is the choice of the times, and no one can stop it.

He did not perish with the Whitebeard Pirates, but was saved by the old man in the end.

"It's good to know it's wrong."

Garp came back to his senses and looked at Ace with tenderness in his eyes.

"Ace, become a new marine. Luffy, you too!"

"???"

Luffy looked at Garp with questions on his face.

Ace refused directly: "Sorry, old man."

He could admit that he was wrong, and even admit that the Whitebeard Pirates were wrong as well.

But for him to join the new navy or something, that's another matter.

"What are you talking about, Grandpa!"

Luffy said with an annoyed look on his face.

"Shut up, Luffy!"

Garp immediately silenced Luffy (grabbing Luffy's face with his hand), and then continued to look at Ace.

"Ace, you will inevitably encounter many setbacks in your life. Are you ready to just return to the ordinary?"

Ace nodded: "Old man, is it bad to be ordinary?"

He was a little tired of chasing, so he might as well return to the ordinary and live his life like this.

"ordinary……"

Garp looked at Ace deeply.

The child who once stubbornly raised his head and never obeyed him now lowered his head unconsciously, with only calm in his eyes.

"Teacher Karp, can you please allow me to say something?"

Ling Ye said suddenly.

Garp and Ace looked at Ling Ye in confusion.

"First of all, becoming a new navy is not something you can do. Without persistence in justice and a certain awareness, you cannot become a new navy. And then, Ace, if you really want to return to the ordinary. Then , I can only ask you to stay in Rogge Town for a while longer. Of course, everything has to wait until you complete your labor reform. After the labor reform is completed, I will have someone install a device on you to record your activities. The scope is limited to Rogge Town. You can’t leave Rogge Town until the time is right.”

Ling Ye's tone was serious. Both Garp and Ace knew that Ling Ye was not joking. They both even understood that Ling Ye would do that to protect Ace.

As a former leader of the Whitebeard Pirates, he even has a little-known identity as the son of Roger, the Pirate King. It is not that easy for Ace to return to ordinary life. Unless the world that the new navy pursues comes, Ace may be in danger once he is targeted by someone with intentions after he goes out.

"I-I'm not that weak yet."

Ace muttered, he felt that Ling Ye didn't have to do that. With his own strength, he wouldn't be able to protect himself.

"Weakness is indeed not that weak, but if someone really targets you, I don't think you can handle it."

Ling Ye said without mercy.

"Ling Ye is right."

Garp thought for a moment and seriously agreed with Ling Ye's statement.

Ace was very discouraged.
