Comic series: Starting from Pirates to Cultivate the True Self

Perhaps because he heard that Sengoku no longer tried to comfort him and instead mentioned Ace, Garp stopped remaining silent and began to tell Sengoku the cause and course of events.

After Roger surrendered himself, he originally wanted to go to the prison simply to visit this old rival. After all, they had loved and hated each other for so many years, and he knew that Roger would not survive this time, so he just regarded it as a farewell to him.

Unexpectedly, Roger was a bastard with no moral principles at all and entrusted his son to him directly in prison.

His feelings were very complicated. He knew that Roger's offspring was a hot potato, but the justice in his heart prevented him from betraying an innocent woman and an unborn baby.

Sengoku nodded in agreement. After all, he couldn't say that Garp was wrong in this matter. If it were him, he would probably do the same.

It's a very simple logic. Roger's behavior is an example of a gentleman who can be deceived!

Because he trusts Karp's character!

Afterwards, the CP organization discovered that Roger had an orphan, and with the power of the Five Elder Stars, they asked the navy to blockade the entire Batirila Island and indiscriminately execute babies and pregnant women born that year.

His sense of justice was greatly impacted at that time. Should he save one person or ten thousand people? He didn't know!

For the first time in his life, he felt lost and confused.

After hearing what Garp said, Sengoku recalled that it should have been during the tenure of Marshal Kong that when the mission was being discussed, Garp was the only one who voted against it.

In the end they even had a fight.

Then Garp continued to tell how Roger's wife, Portgas D. Luju, endured the labor in such a panic and carried the baby for 22 months before giving birth to Ace.

To be honest, he was deeply moved by Lu Jiu's maternal radiance.

The development of this incident made Cap even more confused about what choice to make.

When Sengoku heard this, he also sighed. Just from Garp's story, he could feel the greatness of Ace's mother. At this moment, he deeply empathized with Garp.

Can the value of life be measured by quantity?

The lives of tens of thousands of people are lives, so is the life of one person not a life?

Who has the right to make decisions for another person's life?

At least Zhan Guo felt that if he could use his own life to save millions of people, he would be willing to do it.

But! This decision must at least be made willingly by him, instead of someone else telling him that he should sacrifice himself for others!

Up to this point, Sengoku didn't think there was anything wrong with the choice made by Garp, so he couldn't refute anything. He could only helplessly listen to Garp continue to tell the story of Ace.

Then Karp talked about this invisible pressure, which made him almost breathless. He didn't know why he was obsessed and told Mo Xingchen about this matter.

In the end, Mo Xingchen successfully enlightened him.

Hearing this, Zhan Guo's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped something. He quickly interrupted Garp's narration and asked urgently:

"Wait! Garp, wait a minute, are you saying that you told Xiao Mo about this matter! And he already knew Ace's identity twenty years ago?"

Garp was startled by Sengoku's sudden interruption, but he still murmured:

"Ah, that's right, is there anything wrong?"

Zhan Guo leaned back on the sofa, and he relaxed a lot. He took a long breath and said:

"Huh~ Since Mo kid already knew about this, then you don't have to worry. He always has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. Maybe Ace can really be saved."

"But wasn't it the Five Elders who gave the order themselves this time?"

Zhan Guo smiled easily and said confidently:

"Five Elders? Even if someone told me that Xiao Mo was their illegitimate child, I wouldn't be surprised at all. Don't worry.

At this time, besides trusting Xiao Mo, do you have any better solution?"

Garp scratched his head as he looked at Zhan Guo, and suddenly returned to his previous heartless self. He stood up and said with a smile:

"Yohahaha, is that so? Then I'm going to go to the propulsion floor to see Ace."

After saying that, he walked towards the office door. Zhan Guo hurriedly shouted to Garp's back:

"Ace is still incarcerated in the prison at headquarters."

Garp didn't even look back, but waved his hand casually to indicate that he understood.

When Zhan Guo saw him like this, he shook his head gently. After Garp walked out of the door, he murmured:

"Mo boy, I hope you really have a solution this time!"

...

...

Naval Headquarters Prison.

“Tick…tick…tick…”

In the quiet and dim dungeon, there was a sound of leather shoes rubbing against the ground.

Ace's hands were handcuffed with a pair of high-purity seastone handcuffs. Although this did not affect his movements, he was not naive enough to think that he could escape from the Navy Headquarters by himself.

So when he heard the footsteps, he didn't pay any attention to them. He just sat quietly on the floor of the cell with his head lowered.

As the footsteps got closer, they finally stopped in front of his cell.

"Ace."

A familiar voice made Ace look up suddenly. He saw a white-haired, burly old man sitting cross-legged opposite him.

Just like when I was a kid, at Dadan's house,

But at this moment, there was a prison cell between them.

This was the first time he had seen Garp since he went to sea, but in such a scene,

Because of the light, he couldn't see Karp's expression clearly. He smiled awkwardly and said casually:

"Grandpa, I'm sorry to disappoint you. This time my life should also come to an end."

Because Blackbeard felt that Ace was doomed to die during the time he imprisoned him, so when he was executing the plan, he never thought of hiding anything from Ace.

Ace naturally knew that once his identity was exposed, there would be no hope of survival.

There is a high probability that his fate will be the same as that of his bastard father, being executed in front of the world.

“Although villains do not deserve sympathy, family members are different.

What on earth should I do?

Ace, you bastard, why don't you just do as I say!"

Ace noticed that Garp's voice was very hoarse. When Garp looked up, Ace's nose began to ache and his eyes turned red.

Because when he saw the old man, his face was already covered with tears.

He remembered that when he was a child, every time the old man came back to Windmill Town, he would always ask him and Luffy to join the navy when they grew up.

He had always thought that Garp wanted them to inherit this business, and that it was a shackle imposed on him and Luffy.

At this point, he finally understood a little.

In fact, the old man was afraid of this scene happening, so he wanted them to join the navy, not to fulfill his own dream, but to protect them!

But it seems that I realized it a little too late.

Ace didn't dare to face the old man's tears anymore. He slammed his head to the ground and said with a sob:

"sorry."
