Comic series: Starting from Pirates to Cultivate the True Self

When Lafayette heard the question from the Five Elders, he bent his back even lower and quickly replied:

"In reply to your Excellency, the Captain of the Second Division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Ace the Fire Fist, is the son of Pirate King Roger."

The God of Law narrowed his eyes, but looked at Lafayette very sharply, and continued to ask indifferently:

"Is there any evidence?"

"Sir, my captain's name is Teach. He was originally a member of the Whitebeard Pirates. He overheard the conversation between Ace and Edward Whitebeard.

Ace's full name is Portgas D. Ace. In order to avoid the World Government's capture of Roger's orphans, his mother carried him for 22 months before giving birth to him.

She died soon after giving birth to him, so he took her surname in memory of her.

Hearing this, the three Five Elders looked at each other and believed it for the most part. After all, the CP department's action against Roger's orphan was top secret.

Just like O'Hara's Demon Killing Order, it was not a glorious action, and could even be said to be a stain on the World Government, so naturally the news was completely blocked.

There is no reason for these pirates to know unless they are the parties involved.

However, when they thought about the little pirate named Ace, who was now a member of Whitebeard's crew, the three Five Elders seemed a little uninterested.

He's just a little kid, there's no need to mobilize the navy to attack the second half of the Grand Line just for him. After all, the current state of the world makes them very satisfied, and there is no need to make such a big fuss.

At this moment, Ace was like chicken ribs to them, tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away.

...

...

So the God of Finance calmly ordered him to leave.

"If that's all, we know it. Go down and claim your reward!"

Lafayette was stunned. He could certainly hear the implication of the Five Elders' words.

What he had never expected was the nonchalant attitude of the Five Elders when they heard the news about Ace, the son of the Pirate King.

He didn't know why the Five Elders were like this, because that was because of the different positions they held, and the different perspectives and patterns they had when looking at things, but he was the one who shouldered the hope for the future of the entire Blackbeard Pirates!

So Lafayette bowed quickly and continued:

"Master Five Elders, my captain has always been fascinated by the World Government, but he has no way to get there.

This time I finally found an opportunity to rebel against the Whitebeard Pirates and capture Ace alive. I wanted to give him to the adults as a gift and work for them in the future."

The three Five Elders became interested at this point, and even the two who were fighting on the chessboard turned their heads and glanced at Lafayette.

However, several of the Five Elders had been in high positions for many years, and they all sneered at what Lafayette said.

Because if they really wanted to make a sincere gift, it should be his captain who showed up in this office with Ace, instead of him, a small follower, coming to negotiate with them.

The God of Law was too lazy to play along with Lafayette, so he said directly without any more nonsense:

"Tell me what you want."

"Sir, my captain wants to seek a position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

Lafayette thought this was a sure deal, but he didn't expect a voice to come the next second.

"No, change it."

...

...

Lafayette was stunned again. He didn't understand what was going on in this world!

The son of the Pirate King! He is not just some random person, so why do you, the World Government, look down on him so much?

Besides, we didn't set any particularly awkward conditions! It's just a Shichibukai!

You high and mighty figures, are you starting to care about the lives of pirates?

It was the God of Finance who rejected Lafayette's proposal, but the other two did not refute it.

Are you kidding? They naturally don’t care about the Seven Warlords of the Sea pirates. What they care about is Mo Xingchen!

The stars are sincere and considerate of me, giving me gifts and money, and taking the initiative to solve my problems.

Then you fired someone else's subordinates for a stranger. How would Xingchen feel about that? How could he manage his subordinates?

They, the Five Elders, are not those useless Celestial Dragons who just eat and wait to die and are always causing trouble rather than accomplishing anything.

Lafayette also recovered at this moment, and said with gritted teeth:

"Can the adults release a few pirates from the advancement layer? My captain has a few friends..."

"Well, yes."

The God of Finance was too lazy to listen to Lafayette's lame excuses and agreed readily. After all, it was quite cost-effective to exchange those rubbish on the advancement layer for Roger's son.

Besides, if someone can be caught, why would he be afraid that he won’t be caught a second time?

Then he continued:

"After you send Roger's son to the Navy Headquarters, go to the Advancement Layer to pick him up. If Magellan in the Advancement Layer asks about it, have him call us."

...

...

Lafayette was still feeling dizzy when he walked out of the office of the Five Elders. Today had completely refreshed his worldview.

Because there were so many weird points that he was unable to complain.

The Shichibukai are greater than the Pirate King's son, and the Pirate King's son is greater than the advancement-level criminals.

I don’t know whether the group of once notorious legendary pirates imprisoned at the bottom of the advancement layer should cry or laugh when they heard the news.

The captain's original plan was to use the identity of Shichibukai to sneak into the advancement layer and break out of prison. But now that he has failed to become a Shichibukai, he can go directly to the advancement layer to pick up people!

After Lafayette left the office, the Five Elders called Den Den Mushi to tell Sengoku about Ace.

Just when Ace was sent to the Navy Headquarters, he was publicly executed in Marinford half a month later.

......

Naval Headquarters, Office of the Marshal.

Sengoku, who had just hung up the Den Den Mushi, sat in the office chair with a serious face, staring at the Den Den Mushi on the desk in a daze.

This news from the Five Elders was hard for him to digest for a while, because if this matter was not handled well,

For the navy, it was definitely an unprecedented major disaster.

It’s hard to say whether the navy will even exist by then.

After a long while, Zhan Guo sighed deeply, then picked up the Den Den Mushi on the table and dialed a number.

"Bulu Bulu ~ Bulu Bulu~"

"Which one?"

"Xiao Mo, where are you?"

"I'm in the first half of the Grand Line."

"Let's go back to headquarters."

Mo Xingchen heard Zhan Guo's tone on the other end of the phone was not right, and thought about this special time point.

If there was nothing particularly important, Zhan Guo would never let him go back.

Sure enough, something happened to Ace?

So Mo Xingchen didn't want to joke around anymore, and said in a deep voice:

"I see."

“Click.”
