At the same time, far away in the waters of the "New World......

A pirate ship flying the flag of the "Spade Pirates" is breaking through the wind and waves on the sea, heading straight for the territory of the Four Emperors' "Whitebeard Pirates".

"Ahh Sneeze!! ”

A loud sneeze suddenly sounded, causing everyone on the pirate ship to burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!"

Compared to the unconscionable feelings of the other crew members, the deputy captain of the Spades Pirates was unusually considerate and handed Ace a cup of hot water and asked.

"Captain Ace, was it cold during the storm yesterday? Got a cold? ”

"Not really!" A few doubts appeared on Ace's face, which was faintly beginning to appear a little freckle, and then rubbed his nose and said with some certainty.

"It must be that bad old man in my family who misses me and that's why I sneeze."

"Speaking of Captain Ace, I often hear you talk about the name of that 'bad old man', I guess your relationship is very good?"

The deputy captain propped his hands on the railing, let the sea breeze blow his hair, and looked sideways at Ace, who was sitting on the ground, with some sleepiness on his face.

"Not really!" Ace drank the cup of hot water, pursed his lips, and said disdainfully.

"A bad old man is a bad old man, who has a good relationship with him?"

"Hahaha......"

For the daily tsundere behavior of their own Captain Ace, many crew members couldn't help but laugh again.

After all, this is the unique gentleness of his own captain, who is obviously very disgusted in his mouth, including when he usually treats many partners, but if anyone is really in danger, Captain Ace will definitely be the first to rush forward without hesitation.

"Bastard, what are you laughing at?"

Ace, who had been interrupted by an inexplicable sneeze, immediately roared with a little wake-up gas.

"It's nothing, it's just a little envious of Captain Ace, who has such a good family."

The deputy captain seemed to recall his past and said with some emotion.

As if seeing the deputy captain a little depressed, Ace jumped up from the ground, also stood beside the deputy captain, pressed his orange cowboy hat, and spoke.

"Actually...... I'm an orphan, and the bad old man is just my godfather. ”

"Speaking of this bad old man...... It's bad! When he said this, the corners of Ace's mouth couldn't help but appear with a nostalgic smile, and his eyes were full of warmth.

"You may not believe it, that bad old man is really not a human being, when I was a child, he squeezed me every day, so that I constantly released flames and converted them into energy every day, saying that he wanted to rely on my strength and entrust me with the future of the world or something."

In the end, Ace couldn't help but raise his chin slightly, with a terrific expression.

"Uh...... Is that why Captain Ace is so strong? The deputy captain was stunned for a moment, and then teased.

"Perhaps! But I'm still far from that bad old man! ”

Ace seemed to remember something, and said unwillingly.

"Huh? No way?! Many of the crew members of the "Spade Pirates" suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Captain Ace is no matter what the enemy, it can be solved with one punch, even if it is the 'Seven Martial Seas' Moria who shook the sea, it was just a few more punches."

"Compared to that kind of scum, it's an insult to the bad old man at all!"

Ace said with complete disdain on his face. "Even if I don't want to, I have to admit that the bad old man is really super strong, so strong that I suspect that he is likely to be the strongest in the world."

"The strongest in the world?"

Talking about such a topic, many crew members couldn't help but get excited and spoke one after another.

"Speaking of the strongest in the world, there are many men with this kind of rank!"

"That's right, the strongest creature 'Hundred Beasts' Kaido, the strongest man 'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate, and the most powerful swordsman 'Hawkeye' Mihawk!"

"No, no, what you said is outdated, Kaido is reckless, Whitebeard is old, as for 'Hawkeye' Mihawk, is he the world's number one swordsman, or is it unknown? After all...... The man who also stood at the top of the kendo, he hadn't defeated yet. ”

"You're talking about the 'Demon King' White Yasha? This guy was shocked a few years ago, and after making that earth-shattering event, he was never heard from, couldn't he have been quietly killed by the world government? ”

"You guys, don't you read the newspaper? Today's newspaper published the news of the 'Demon King' Hakuyasha, but unexpectedly, it seems that Hakuyasha lost to a vice admiral named 'Devil May Cry' in the navy. ”

"Isn't it? How can it be? Just the Navy? Or a lieutenant general? ”

Listening to his crew talking about the world's first-class powerhouses with great interest, especially when he heard that the "Demon King" Hakuyasha lost to Lieutenant General Devil May Cry, Ace couldn't help but pout and complained silently.

"What is this bastard fucking grandpa? Do you put gold on yourself? ”

You must know that Ace knew about his godfather running to the navy to play a cameo role as a vice admiral, but when he heard such news, it can be described as completely messy.

"It's okay to add a record to yourself~"

Listening to Ace beside him as if he was muttering something, the deputy captain of the "Spade Pirates" asked subconsciously.

"Captain Ace, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing!"

Ace casually talked a few words and then perfunctory, after all, the identity of his bastard godfather can't be revealed, otherwise I'm afraid there will be some big incident.

Immediately, Ace, who had completely woken up from his sleep, was shocked and asked the deputy captain beside him.

"By the way, how long will it take to get to Whitebeard's territory?"

"It's coming!" At the same time, the deputy captain, who had also taken on the duties of "navigator", estimated the time and replied.

"What? Captain Ace, is he so eager to earn the title of 'The World's Strongest Man'? ”

"Hahaha! It doesn't matter what the name is......" Ace clenched his fist in front of his chest, and several wisps of scorching flames rose up, and said.

"All I want to do is prove myself!"

From the very beginning, Ace's purpose of going to sea was unusually pure, that is, to completely get rid of the shadow that Roger attached to him and completely surpass Roger.

Then the most direct way is to defeat Roger's old enemies that he never defeated during his lifetime: Karp, Golden Lion, Whitebeard and others!

"Wait, Roger!" Under Ace's calm expression, the flames in his body had already begun to burn fiercely.

"I will definitely surpass you, far beyond you, and become a man who is freer than anyone else!"
