Pirates: The Scientist Who Became the Ultimate Lifeform.

Garp looked at the frightened Ace, and finally suppressed his anger and closed the door that he had kicked open.

He didn't want people outside to see what was going on inside. If someone recognized Caesar, there would be big trouble.

Garp stared at Caesar.

"Caesar, why did you come to Windmill Village? Why don't you stay in your territory in the New World? Why come to the East China Sea?"

When Caesar heard Garp's question, he was not angry, but quite happy.

After all, his current identity is just as Garp said, just an old guy licking his own wounds.

However, Garp did not underestimate Caesar in front of him. He never believed that the man in front of him would suffer a great loss of strength because of that battle.

He was well aware of the terrifying recovery ability of the man in front of him.

Even if he was seriously injured as the rumors said, he would recover quickly.

So Garp was still a little afraid of Caesar in front of him.

However, in order to avoid causing irreparable consequences, Garp forced himself to suppress his anger.

Garp stared at Caesar in front of him, waiting for his answer.

Caesar sighed helplessly.

"Garp, you are still as grumpy as ever. I just came to see what Roger's son looks like now."

"You guy...!"

When Garp heard Caesar reveal Ace's identity, his face instantly became extremely gloomy.

"Are you here to take Ace away? Go away quickly. I will never hand Ace over to you."

Caesar didn't take Garp's words to heart at all.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to Ace."

Hearing Caesar's words, Garp's frown deepened.

He didn't want Caesar, a dangerous guy, to come into contact with Ace. He always wanted to train Ace to become the strongest navy.

In the end, Garp chose to swallow his anger and didn't want to fight with Caesar now.

Looking at Garp who was suppressing his anger, Caesar laughed at him twice unscrupulously, and was glared at by Garp again.

Caesar ignored Garp's glare, smiled at him, and then prepared to leave.

Garp breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Caesar leave, and looked at Ace with worry in his eyes.

He was thinking about whether to move to another place with Ace.

After leaving Garp and the others, Caesar took the opportunity to secretly go and take a look at Luffy while Garp was at Ace's house.

When Caesar saw Luffy, who was still a little baby, he said he couldn't see anything.

Who would have thought that this carefree little kid in front of him would become one of the Four Emperors and the person who saves the world in the future?

After completing his goal this time, Caesar returned to his ship, but left some traces of himself along the way.

It was getting dark, around dawn, when a figure was trying to sneak onto the ship.

A tall figure stood behind him and picked up Ace who was sneaking in front of him.

Ace's whole body froze for a moment, and he turned to look at the person behind him with some fear.

He was relieved when he saw it was Caesar.

Ace couldn't control his inner feelings after all, so he came to look for Caesar in the middle of the night.

Caesar felt a little amused when he looked at Ace in front of him. Ace was now dressed in black, just like a ninja.

"Let's go up and talk."

Caesar carried Ace to a meeting room on the ship.

Looking at the magnificently decorated conference room, Ace couldn't help but touch and look around curiously. This was much more luxurious than Garp's ship.

But he was more curious about why Caesar brought him here.

Caesar looked at Ace and said in a deep voice:

"Ace, do you think you can protect your mother with your current strength?"

Ace's face instantly showed worry when he heard Caesar's words.

Lu Jiu is his most important relative. He would rather die than let his mother have an accident.

After hearing what Caesar said, Ace asked:

"Uncle Caesar, what do you mean by that?"

"Have Jabba and Cap told you how much influence your father has in this world?"

Hearing Caesar's question, Ace shook his head in confusion.

He only knew vaguely that his father was a very powerful man, but he didn't know exactly how powerful he was.

After all, the Windmill Village is too remote to be greatly affected by the outside world. It is seriously out of touch with the world and is basically not affected by the sea.

Looking at Ace who was looking at him curiously, Caesar told Ace the story of Roger in more detail without hiding anything.

After listening to Caesar's story, Ace couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.

He also finally learned from Caesar how great his father's influence was.

His father Roger is actually a man who can influence the world situation.

This was a huge shock to Ace, who grew up in a small village.

His identity as Roger's son could bring great danger. If his identity was exposed, his mother, Cap and others would all be in danger.

And because of his identity, he will be targeted by many people.

He could imagine that the day his identity was exposed would be like entering hell mode.

"Although Garp wants you to join the navy, your identity means you are destined not to become a navy."

"Even if you are so talented that you become an admiral or even a marshal, your importance still cannot compare to your status."

"You are the son of Pirate King Roger, so all you can do is strengthen yourself and protect the ones you love."

After listening to Caesar's words, Ace fell into deep thought.

After a long silence, he stared at Caesar with glowing eyes.

"Then why did you tell me this news, Uncle Caesar?"

"In the story you told, your relationship with my father was just an acquaintance. At most, my father had some favors for you."

"But it's not much. Why are you willing to tell me this information?"

Caesar looked at the intelligent Ace in front of him and felt that the other's brain was indeed useful.

"Maybe it's because of some regrets from my past life."

These words were what Caesar was thinking in his heart.

But what he said was.

"Maybe I just don't want to see someone who can change the world in the future fall."

After saying that, Caesar took out a small box from the storage bag on his waist.

Ace stared at the small box with some curiosity, he didn't understand what it was.

Caesar placed the small box in front of Ace and said to him:

"Ace, do you want to have the power to control your own destiny?"

Hearing Caesar's question, Ace nodded firmly.

Seeing Ace's attitude, Caesar opened the small box.

Inside was a purple fruit covered with strange patterns.

When Ace saw this devil fruit, he was attracted to it.

In Ace's perception, this fruit is like a black hole, containing powerful power.

"Uncle Caesar, what is this?"

Caesar looked at the fruit and a smile appeared on his face.

"This fruit is called the Dark-Dark Fruit, and it is one of the strongest devil fruits in the world."

"It's also a monster that needs Roger and Garp to work together to defeat. It's Rocks' devil fruit."

After listening to Caesar's introduction, Ace was shocked. He could not imagine how powerful the monster was that required his father and Garp to work together to defeat.

Ace looked at the devil fruit with glowing eyes. This was the power he desperately wanted to possess.

If he really ate this devil fruit, he would be able to gain the power to protect his loved ones more quickly.

Caesar could see the desire for this devil fruit in Ace's eyes.

Finally, he pushed the small box in front of Ace.

"Ace, I can let you eat this devil fruit, but you have to help me complete something in the future."

A calculating look flashed in Caesar's eyes.

Ace showed hesitation when he heard Caesar's words, but finally he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

Seeing Ace nod, Caesar nodded with satisfaction.

Then, under Caesar's gaze, the Dark-Dark Fruit belonging to the future Blackbeard was eaten by Ace.

After that, Caesar looked at Ace who was leaving and let out a strange laugh that belonged to the mastermind behind the scenes.

"It's really interesting. I wonder what the current Ace will become in the future."

"Will he become a monster like Rocks, or will some other unexpected event happen?"

I wonder how a child who has discovered his talent in advance and possesses the Dark Dark Fruit and Roger's bloodline will grow in the future.

But no matter what Ace becomes, he is an absolute enemy of the World Government.

"This is really interesting."
