Pirates: I am a daddy's girl in the White Group

"I really didn't expect that so many things happened?"

Wine and meat are indispensable at pirates' banquets, and Ace quickly became friends with this group of pirates.

"So Luffy was left with the bandits by Garp to be taken care of." Shanks held the wine and took a sip, and the image of Luffy as a child emerged in his mind.

"Grandpa Garp originally hoped that he could become a marine." Ace said with a smile.

"That boy, does he still have the straw hat I gave him?"

"Of course. He said he valued that straw hat more than his life."

"More important than life..." Shanks stared at the wine flask: "That won't do. After all, nothing is more important than Luffy's life."

"He said he made an agreement with you that he would return the hat to you after he became the Pirate King in the future."

"That guy is still clamoring to be the Pirate King."

"So you are also the grandson of a navy hero." Shanks tilted his head: "Why did you want to become a pirate?"

"Because my brother and I made an agreement! We will go to sea when we turn 17!" Ace pressed the hat on his head and answered with a smile.

"So Ace, how old are you?"

"17 is old."

After getting Ace's answer, our Four Emperors Shanks began counting on his fingers.

"One, two, three, four... it's over. There are not enough seven!"

Devi: . . .

"Luffy is three years younger than me! So he will be out to sea soon. Don't worry, he will catch up soon!"

"That's good."

Shanks put his hand down and looked at Ace with a gentle smile.

"Since you've been to Rogue Town, you should have seen that thing."

"That thing?"

"It's the execution platform, where the Pirate King died, and where the Age of Discovery officially began."

"Yeah... I've seen it, but unlike Luffy, I'm not that interested in becoming the Pirate King."

Ace's expression was a little depressed: "Maybe I used to think of it as a necessary path to achieve my goal, but now I don't think so."

"Really? Then why are you going out to sea, Portgas D. Ace?" Beckman, who was originally holding up his glass and drinking happily, suddenly asked.

"In the beginning, we brothers made an agreement to go to sea when we were seventeen. I just thought that if Luffy was going to become the Pirate King, how could I be worse than him?" Ace looked down at the wine glass.

"But later, as I visited more and more places, I changed my mind. From the beginning, what I wanted was to become famous in this ocean and let the whole world know my name!"

"And this doesn't necessarily require becoming the Pirate King."

Even people as perceptive as Shanks and Devi could not ignore the blazing fire burning in Ace's eyes.

Wealth, power, and—

“It’s the reputation.”

"Goldo Roger... may be a living legend to this world, no, to you, but to me, he is just a dead man."

"After all, he was executed by the navy before I was born."

"I've thought of a better way to let the world know my name Ace!"

"Oh? What's a better way to become famous than becoming the Pirate King?" Shanks became interested, raised his eyebrows and leaned forward, curious about Ace's answer.

"Of course it's the Four Emperors!" Ace answered without hesitation: "I plan to start with the Four Emperors!"

The lively atmosphere of the banquet took a sudden turn for the worse, and a dangerous atmosphere rose up.

"Hahahahahaha!" With Shanks' loud laughter, the atmosphere, which had suddenly taken a turn for the worse, was eased.

Ace seemed to finally realize the insufficiency of his words, and immediately shook his head and waved his hands: "No, no, no, don't misunderstand me, I will never become your enemy. After all, you are my brother's savior."

"You are also Luffy's brother... But Roger was also my captain. I thought young people nowadays would idolize him, but it seems that is not the case." Shanks sighed.

"It's quite a coincidence, De...My friend mentioned you to me a few days ago. At that time, we joked that the swords of you and my captain were both named Ace."

"I even joked that you might be the captain's son."

I was talking to Devi a few days ago, saying that we are all part of the old era, and the new era belonging to Ace and the others will eventually come with the passage of time.

Ace's expression was obviously frozen. He lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before he slowly said, "I'm sorry, did I ruin everyone's fun..."

"It's okay." Shanks laughed, "Well... in that case, answer us a question as an apology. Which of the Four Emperors do you plan to attack?"

"BIGMOM? Or Kaido, the Beast?"

Shanks naturally ignored the last option. In his opinion, first of all, Ace and Devi knew each other, and secondly, the current Whitebeard Pirates... not to mention the two top-level emperor-level combat forces, even the captains and the pirate groups under their command were enough to scare a child to death.

However, Ace's answer was...

"The first target I have to deal with is Whitebeard."

"..."

The atmosphere at this moment was no longer one of sudden deterioration and danger, but rather of stagnation.

It was as if the air had condensed.

Everyone held their breath unconsciously, and their eyes fell on Davie at the same time.

Silence...deathly quiet...

No matter how thick-skinned Ace was, he noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Following everyone's gaze, he also looked at Davi who was hidden in the cloak.

"Look at what I'm doing, and then continue chatting." Dai Wei raised her eyebrows and spoke lightly.

Even if you know my identity, you still want to attack Ou Yaji?

"Hahahahahahahahaha, yeah, let's continue chatting. Ace, why did you choose to attack Whitebeard? This is not a wise decision." Shanks smiled and eased the tense atmosphere again.

Ace's gaze was still on Davi, she seemed so familiar.

"Yes, the Four Emperors Whitebeard is a being more terrifying than demons. Even a baby in the New World would burst into tears upon hearing his name."

"I would rather die a hundred times than do this!"

Shanks looked at Ace and asked sincerely, "You rejected the position of Shichibukai, right? A long time ago, one of the Shichibukai did declare war on Whitebeard. I thought there were no such idiots recently. Why did you choose Whitebeard?"

"It's very simple." Ace smiled. "When talking about the opponents of Pirate King Roger, everyone will think of Whitebeard, and Whitebeard has raised his flag on Fishman Island. Isn't this a good opportunity?"

"Wait... so you wouldn't..."

"I was the first to provoke him on Fishman Island." Flames appeared in Ace's palms: "I burned his pirate flag."

The air froze again...this time even Shanks couldn't help but turn his head and look at Davi.

"Ahem..." Shanks coughed, "Well...it's not our turn to interfere in this matter."

How could this Dawei not strangle him to death? The sun is rising from the west?

Ace nodded: "It seems that even if I kill Whitebeard, it won't cause any trouble to you, Shanks. This makes me feel relieved."

Shanks smiled and didn't respond. He didn't know how to respond. Could he just say "Kill him? I have no objection."

Devi-chan would definitely strangle him to death afterwards.

Ace lowered his head. In his opinion, the Pirate King and the great treasure were not important.

The important thing is that he is not the son of the Pirate King, his biological father just happens to be Goldo Roger.

One day, when people mention him, they will no longer refer to him as the son of the Pirate King, but as me, Portgas D. Ace!

To do this, I must accomplish feats comparable to Roger's, no, it would be best if I could surpass him, and let the world know that Pirate King Roger is a thing of the past!

The conversation with Shanks made Ace more determined. He kept all of this in his heart and looked up at Shanks and said.

"My enemy is not only Whitebeard, but also this world, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Four Emperors, the Admirals of the Navy, and the Celestial Dragons. I will not let any of them go."

"I will defeat all the 'peaks' in this world, and use this flame to make the world remember my name, Portgas D. Ace."

"..." Shanks didn't say anything, just looked at Ace quietly.

But Dawei curled her lips and smiled. Compared with those lofty words of challenging the world, Dawei discovered something deeper.

Ace's hatred for this world.

What a contradiction, why do people who hate the world be as warm as the sun?

No, it's more like Ace's hatred for himself. While he denies himself, he is also eager to prove himself.

But this is not a good idea. With Ace's current strength, he cannot step onto such a huge stage.

If you let it crash into the ground like this, it will die.

There's no other way. After all this time, I've only met this one person who appeals to me. I have to think of a way to solve this problem. If I don't even like myself, I can't live a good life.

"Go me, Shanks." Dawi's cold voice rang out in the cave: "Your party may end here."

"I have to take your guest away."

"Ah, you're leaving so soon? Why don't you stay for a while?" Shanks tried to persuade him to stay.

"We've found the person. If we stay any longer, Ou Yaji will get anxious."

Slowly rising from her seat, Devi removed Shanks' cloak and casually threw it to Shanks, who caught it steadily.

"Sassi ignores...Ace." Devi gave an ambiguous smile, inexplicably looking forward to Ace's reaction.

"Little...little snowflake!" Ace jumped up from his seat in surprise, rushed over and held Davi's shoulders, his face full of surprise.

It's really a little snowflake! I felt so familiar with it just now!

"Long time no see! I didn't expect to see you here, so are you Shanks's partner?"

Why is it this reaction...Davi raised her eyebrows. Why do you think I am Shanks' partner?

Ignoring this question, Davi continued, "Let's go. Don't you want to challenge Whitebeard? If you are left alone to run rampant in the New World, you will die soon."

"Huh?" Ace tilted his head in confusion: "Yes, I want to challenge Whitebeard, but what does this have to do with Little Snowflake?"

"My challenge to Whitebeard is the business of the Spade Pirates and will not affect the Red Hair Pirates!"

".....?" Davie turned her head and looked at Ace with a complicated expression: "Didn't Scarl tell you who I am?"

Ace shook his head, "I didn't let him say it."

【Fishman Island Day】

"Captain...are you really going to do this?" Scar's body was shaking slightly, and he was obviously panicked by what Ace was going to do next.

"Don't be afraid, Skarl." Ace turned around and showed a confident and bright smile: "I will protect you."

"Ace... I think we need to think about this." Scar swallowed and said, "Ms. Rose, you still remember Miss Rose, right? Let me tell you, her identity is..."

"Don't tell me, Skarl." Ace interrupted Skarl.

"Little Snowflake is Little Snowflake. I will meet her in the new world! When that time comes, let her tell me in person!"

Skarr:... I think if you do this, your little snowflake will turn you into a little blood flower. What should I do?

The blazing flame in his hand ignited, and the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates was set on fire. The people of Fishman Island screamed in fear.

Ace turned around in the fireworks and looked at the crew members who were following him steadfastly despite some concerns.

"Let's go, brothers! Head towards the new world!"

"........."

Daiwei didn't know what to say. It turned out that after all this fuss you still don't know my identity.

But it’s a good thing that he doesn’t know my identity. Who would have thought that he would dare to burn the flag of Ou Yaji? If he knew, he might have changed the candidates to BIGMOM and Kaido.

That's even worse, this poor kid.

"Well... whether you know it or not, you have already burned the flag of Fishman Island." Davi lit another cigarette and put it in her mouth.

"I'm not a member of Shanks' crew. He and I are just friends."

"So you have to come with me, otherwise you won't know how to meet Whitebeard."

Seeing that Ace still looked confused, Dawi pulled his cheek helplessly.

"You are under arrest. Come with me, little Ace."

Without waiting for Ace's response, Devi turned to Shanks and waved, "See you next time, Shanks."

"Okay, come play with me next time, Dewi-chan." Shanks responded with a smile, but this time he did not try to keep her for several minutes like he did before.

Shanks kept smiling until Devi and Ace disappeared into the cave.

Sighing, Shanks picked up the cloak in his hand and buried his face deeply in it.

There's no other way. I have to maintain a balance and can only stay within the scope of friends.
