Chapter 8: The Unfathomable Heart of the People
As a man, it is shameful to dare not act because of fear of taking responsibility, it is humble to dare not act because of fear of failure, it is cowardly to dare not say that it is hypocritical because of fear of offending people, and it is cowardly to cower because of fear of being misunderstood.

There are some things that no one can help us, whether it is a friend or a loved one, those that come from psychological harm, if you can't fight it alone and choose to compromise and feel sorry for yourself, then you don't deserve to be pitied.
When you make a decisive choice, only to find that your so-called friends have left because of your decision, then don't be sad and don't keep it.
Everyone has their own aspirations, and people are divided into groups.
Friends who are willing to understand you and don't care about your actions, they will either choose to express their opinions directly to you or choose to empathize. These friends who stay with you are the people you really need to cherish, although they are difficult to reverse, although they are difficult to find a confidant. Friends are not afraid of unintentional harm and worry about estrangement.
Therefore, fearlessness in the face of difficulties, ruthlessness in the face of adversity, and selflessness in hugging friends are what men do.
………… The dividing line that suddenly came up in two............
Whitebeard is the person Ace respects the most, and naturally he has become Ace's counterscale. Normally, whenever someone offended Whitebeard, he would be angry, let alone being humiliated by these prisoners' outspoken words like now. In the bottom of his heart, the incomparably fiery anger had already been rolling endlessly.
However, just as this anger was about to explode, Ace suddenly raised his head and sneered. His laughter, against the increasingly rampant laughter of the prisoners in the surrounding prisons, seemed extremely abrupt and weird.
His change will naturally not be for no reason. Rather, it was because of the cold gaze he saw when he glared angrily at the initiator, Crockdahl. In that gaze, isn't it his own manic face like a puppet being pulled?
Suddenly, Ace's manic mind suddenly calmed down, followed by the sneer full of disdain. There is both ridicule of the prisoners and self-deprecation.
"Croc Dahl...... You're really good at playing with people's hearts......"
"Haha...... I was complimented, but ...... The human heart is the most unpredictable, isn't it? Crockdahl smiled and winked his eyes at Ace. Naturally, it reminded Ace of Blackbeard's unbeaten face.
Isn't it precisely because Ace can't accurately see through people's hearts that Blackbeard betrayed?
"Cut...... Boring tricks. Ace took a deep breath and continued to express his disdain as he spat out again. After calming down, he naturally would no longer be easily provoked by Crockdahl, "People like you will never understand how powerful and great Daddy is......"
Despite his weakness, Ace struggled to sit up and smiled happily against the wall. He seemed to see the image of himself sending Whitebeard to the throne with his own hands.
"I really can't understand it...... But the whitebeard I know is old. Crockdahl seemed to sigh, shook his head and said, "Dozens of years old, hanging dozens of bottles of potions every day, tsk......tt"
"Haha...... So what? Daddy, he's still the strongest man in the world! Only you guys will think so and choose to betray! When you see how powerful Daddy is, you will know how ridiculous this idea is, and how small you guys are in front of Daddy! Like Marshall D. Titch...... Absolutely unforgivable! ”
In the end, Ace finally couldn't hold back his anger and slammed his fist on the ground.
Crockdahl lowered his head, the shadows obscuring the strange expression that flashed across his face. But only a moment later, when he looked up again, the smile on his face was restored.
"It's possible that Whitebeard is as powerful as you say, but ...... What about you? Crockdahl's voice was not loud, but in this noisy environment, it came into Ace's ears very clearly, "Listening to what you said, it seems that you are going to hunt down a traitor!" And you're no match for him, am I right? ”
“…… What can you do if you are in such a situation? Crockdahl sighed.
"Shut up!" Ace looked up angrily, his eyes faintly glowing red. Even intellectually, he told himself that he shouldn't be angry, but emotionally, it was the most difficult to control.
"Hahahaha, annoyed and angry?!" Crockdahl laughed even more presumptuously, "So what I'm saying is the truth?" Betrayal is the root of people! The reason why there is loyalty is only because the bargaining chips for betrayal are not enough, just because the threat of betrayal is too great, just because ......"
Crockdal paused for a moment and looked at Ace, with indescribable emotions in his eyes: "The word betrayal doesn't have any meaning, the relationship between people is just using each other...... So there is no such thing as betrayal! It can only be said that the Whitebeard Pirates have lost their use value for Marshall D. Titch! ”
"Just like the so-called ideal, it is a reality that can only be talked about if you have strength at the same time......
"Damn...... Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem...... "Ace was furious and wanted to scold, but it turned into a series of coughs, his face flushed, and his eyes stared at Crockdahl as if he could breathe fire.
"There's no need to deny it, Ace......" Crockdahl straightened his posture and sat cross-legged facing Ace, "If I'm not mistaken, you're chasing Blackbeard, sorry, it seems that you don't like that title...... So, you chased that guy, it seems that you have been chasing for a long time. And the appearance of Alabastan, if not wrong, should be because of the trace of that guy...... Well, judging by your expression, this speculation is true! ”
"Then, it took so long for you to find his trace...... And he was able to betray from Whitebeard, obviously with extraordinary strength, and defeating you is also a bit of proof. Then, combined with Whitebeard's strength, Blackbeard should also fight Whitebeard, and it shouldn't be an opponent, otherwise he should be taking Whitebeard's place now! ”
"That's right...... That guy not only killed his own captain, snatched the 'Dark Fruit', and even stabbed his father......" Ace's voice was low, and his clenched fists showed his emotions at this time.
"Speculation is true! Then, with that strength - even the strength to stab Whitebeard - it's easy to escape your tracking, right? The fact that you chased it for so long also confirms this, so ......"
Crockdahl smiled proudly and said, "Actually, this time it's not that you chased him, but that he has made you a target!" ”
"What?! It can't be ......" Ace was immediately startled when he heard Crockdahl's words, and then he didn't believe it. But he was not good at scheming, and after listening to Crockdahl's speculation, he already believed it in his heart. I don't believe it, it's not so much that there is any good evidence, but that he can't let go of his dignity.
"According to your description and my speculation, that guy should be an extremely forbearant and purposeful guy. Insidious, vicious, and ambitious are the most appropriate words to describe him...... So, this time his premeditated waiting is also a very purposeful act...... Judging by the results, you're locked up here......"
Crockdahl shook his head in admiration as he spoke, "What an amazing guy! Such a forbearance, with great strength and unknown ambition at the same time, tsk ......"
"If I'm not mistaken, for his ambitions, the three major forces are naturally obstacles in his way! However, with his strength, he cannot be uprooted, so it is called a new force to compete with the three major forces, or to become one of the three major forces, which is the path he can choose. Obviously, the latter is easier to achieve! ”
In other words, you have become the best stepping stone for him to become famous!
