"My father's name is Gordon D. Roger. ”

"Gore M. D. Roger! Hearing this name, Xia Qi's calm face couldn't help but show a look of surprise, "This is really amazing, I didn't expect that man to have a bloodline to survive." ”

She looked at Ace for a while, then suddenly sighed and said, "Alas, I didn't expect you to be the biological son of One Piece, no wonder since you appeared at sea, the old man will let me pay attention to your news." ”

The relationship between Roger and Lou Jiu was only known to Reilly and a few old crew members, and even Shanks at that time did not know about the existence of Ace's mother.

As for why Roger paid Esto to Karp instead of Reilly in the first place, I'm afraid only Roger himself knows.

"yes, I don't want to admit it, but I do have his blood in my veins." Ace picked up his glass, drank the wine in the glass, then put it down, and said, "It's just that that guy is a bastard father to me, so I inherited the surname 'Portcas' from my mother." ”

"However, I didn't expect Senior Reilly to be paying attention to me, it seems that he should know my identity." Ace laughed suddenly.

"Looks like so." Xia Qi nodded and said, "But although the old man asked me to pay attention to your news, he didn't tell me your identity. ”

"Reilly-senpai must be trying to protect me." Ace smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Although I myself disdain the bloodline of that bastard father, in the eyes of the world, I, who inherited the 'extremely evil bloodline' of One Piece, am a 'hidden danger' that must be eradicated in the eyes of the world government and many people. ”

"That's right." Xia Qi nodded and said, "If the World Government and the Navy know your identity, they will definitely do whatever it takes to eradicate you, after all, they are more afraid than anything else of the appearance of a One Piece King on the sea." ”

"So, you're coming to Reilly to seek his refuge?" Xia Qi asked suddenly.

"How so." Ace shook his head with a smile and said, "As a man, no matter how thick-skinned I am, I will not do such a 'shameless' thing. ”

"During this time, I wandered in the new world, although I haven't seen the Four Emperors, but I have seen many strong people, and at the same time, I am aware of my own shortcomings, plus my identity seems to be known, so I want to make myself strong in the shortest possible time."

"Although I have already eaten the natural Devil Fruit, in the new world, domineering is the sign of a strong man, I came to find Senior Reilly this time to ask him to be my master and teach me the use of domineering." Ace said.

"I see." Xia Qi nodded, then took out a small phone bug and said, "If it's you, Reilly shouldn't refuse, and he should want to see you too." ”

Xia Qi dialed the phone, and Reilly's voice came from the other side: "Xia Qi, you are calling at this time, is there something wrong?" ”

"Well, there's a special guest at home, come back and see you." Xia Qi said slowly.

"Oh? A special guest? Reilly on the other end of the phone pondered for a while, then said, "Okay, I'll go back right away." ”

Xia Qi hung up the phone and said to Ace, "I should be shocked when Reilly comes back to see you later." ”

Ace smiled, didn't answer, just pushed the wine glass in front of him in front of Xia Qi, and said politely, "Trouble for another drink." ”

It wasn't long before the bargoers were pushed away and a silver-haired Reilly walked in.

Seeing Ace, Reilly was slightly stunned, then smiled happily and said to him, "It turned out to be you, I have long wanted to see you." ”

Ace stood up and said politely, "Reilly-senpai, I'm really sorry to come to visit you now. ”

"It's okay, I'm glad you came to see me." Reilly waved his hand, tears flashing in his eyes, he patted Ace's shoulder and said, "It's me who should say I'm sorry, I was really happy when I knew that Lu Jiu gave birth to a son, but I was stared at very closely at that time, and I couldn't go to see you." ”

When Reilly first knew that Ace existed, it was already two years after Roger was executed, and the reason why Roger paid Esto to Karp instead of their old brothers was because they were very closely watched by the people of the World Government at that time, if Ace was by their side, if they were known by the people of the World Government, they would definitely eliminate him at all costs, and no one knew better than Reilly how much the people of the World Government were afraid of Roger.

Even when he knew that Karp had adopted Ace, he didn't even dare to sneak a look at Roger's only bloodline.

Reilly knew very well that only by being around people like Karp could Ace grow up safely, because no one would have thought that the bloodline of One Piece would be raised by naval heroes.

Because of Ace and the red hair, Reilly has been paying attention to the East China Sea, so when Ace went to sea with his mother's surname, he knew it immediately, but he still didn't dare to contact Ace, at least at this time, Ace was still safe with the identity of Cap's grandson.

Reilly was able to live in seclusion in the Chambord Islands for twenty years, not because the people of the world government did not know, but because the price required to capture him was too great, so there was a tacit understanding between the two sides, as long as Reilly no longer went to sea, the world government would not come to provoke him, but would only pay close attention to his every move.

Although Reilly knew that after Ace went to sea, it was only a matter of time before his identity was exposed, but if he rashly contacted Ace, it would only speed up the time for Ace's identity to be exposed, so he only let Xia Qi pay attention silently after learning that Ace went to sea, but did not contact him.

Hearing Reilly's words, Ace seemed to understand why Roger entrusted him to Cap instead of Reilly and their old brothers, and at the same time, he also understood why Reilly hadn't been in contact with Ace in the original story, because they were all protecting him.

As the remnants of Roger's Pirates, even if the Pirates have been disbanded, almost all of the crew members who went to 'Ralph Drew' were captured, and the rest of the people are almost all under the close surveillance of the World Government, except for those who have reappeared like Ben Beckman.

However, the people who can survive are all very strong people like Reilly, and it takes a lot of money to capture them, and it may force them to re-emerge, so the world government did not persecute them excessively, but just silently monitored.

"Senior Reilly, I'm very sorry to disturb you, I'm here this time to ask you to teach me domineering cultivation." Ace looked at Reilly and explained his intentions.
