If the other pirates refuse Whitebeard's invitation, Whitebeard will just laugh it off and won't insist on it.

But he's already found out that the "Fire Fist" Ace, the one named Potcass Ace, is the one named Potkas. D. Ace's imp, in fact, his real name should have been "Gore Ace". D. Ace", is his old acquaintance, the One Piece in the mouth of others, "Gore Ace", D. Roger".

In Whitebeard's view, Roger is a man who has repeatedly performed miracles.

The two of them are both rivals and best friends.

Whitebeard doesn't know where Ralph Drew is, doesn't know what One Piece is, and doesn't know why Roger started this "era of pirates".

But this does not affect Whitebeard's appreciation of Roger's courage and character, so Whitebeard's interest in Roger's bloodline is naturally unprecedentedly high.

After Ace failed to challenge Whitebeard, Whitebeard did not harm the members of the Spade Pirates as promised, but did not let Ace leave the Whitebeard Pirates.

Ace has the "overlord color domineering", is Roger's son, and is also a descendant of the "D family", plus Whitebeard likes Ace's fearless and unruly temperament, Whitebeard sincerely wants to keep Ace on the ship.

Marco has a lazy personality, Joz is simple, Thatch is gentle, and Bista only cares about "kendo".

If you can train Portcas M. D. Ace, then he is likely to be the most qualified candidate to lead the Whitebeard Pirates.

Perhaps the most important quality for earthlings when choosing a leader is "calm and composed", but for a pirate, Whitebeard prefers that the leader after his death is a domineering man like him.

"Stinky boy, if you want to sneak attack Lao Tzu now, you are still far away!"

Whitebeard threw Ace out of his bedroom, only to hear a "poof", and Ace fell into the sea in embarrassment.

"Ace!"

Marshall S. D. Titch shouted, and the first to jump out of deck into the sea to rescue Ace.

Don't look at Titch's round figure and a bit of a lack of exercise.

In fact, he has a lot of strength and good swimming skills.

In the Whitebeard Pirates, where there are many Devil Fruit abilities, with his water nature, Tiki's popularity is very good.

Titch is a very far-sighted man, and he firmly believes that only by building a good relationship with everyone on the ship can he get the most information and increase his chances of finding the "Dark Fruit".

Even though Ace hadn't joined the Whitebeard Pirates yet, Titch had already seen it.

He was ninety percent sure that Whitebeard intended to train Ace to be the next successor of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Maybe one day in the future, he can take advantage of Whitebeard's concern for this "Fire Fist" Ace and send Whitebeard to hell.

Titch thought.

Soon, Titch rescued Ace from the sea.

"Ahem...... Forehead...... Thank you, Titch. ”

Ace spat out a large mouthful of fishy seawater, coughed a few times, and said thank you to Teach.

As a Devil Fruit Ability, he is naturally afraid of the power of the sea.

What's more, Ace eats the "burning fruit", which is a flame, so after falling into the sea, Ace looks extremely embarrassed.

"Ace, don't care, Daddy, he's such a person, with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, he definitely doesn't really want to drown you!"

Titch comforted Ace.

Seeing that Ace was just leaning near the side of the ship and did not answer, Tiki stopped talking to Ace and turned away from Ace's side.

In fact, this is Ace's 79th failed assassination attempt on Whitebeard.

Whitebeard has always tolerated him, and he hasn't really killed him until now, which even Ace finds a little incredible.

What the hell does this Whitebeard want to do?

Is he humiliating himself?

Or do you genuinely want to invite yourself to be part of his family?

Ace just leaned on it, and didn't wash the sea water on his body, blowing the refreshing but fishy sea breeze, looking at the clouds in the sky, quietly distracted.

"Hey, Ace, what do you think?"

The Whitebeard Pirates' fourth captain, "Thatch", came from not far away.

He held two glasses in his hand and handed one of them to Ace: "This is ice cream made by Monica (Monet), eat it." ”

"Thank you, Thatch."

Ace spoke as politely as ever.

Without hesitation, he took the ice cream from Thatch's hand, but did not eat it.

Ever since Ace and Luffy thought Sabo was dead, Ace learned the etiquette of being a man from the barmaid "Magino" in the windmill array and became polite.

Because he wants to inherit Sabo's will and be a good brother.

The people of the Whitebeard Pirates are really good to Ace, so the two sides easily get along very well - except that Ace's obsession with defeating Whitebeard has not changed.

Thatch wasn't in a hurry, he sat directly on the deck next to Ace, eating the ice cream in the cup while accompanying Ace to watch the clouds in the sky.

After a long time, Ace suddenly asked, "Thatch, do the four emperors like to take others as sons?" ”

"Well, I haven't heard of it."

Thatch choked on Ace's words.

He has been with Whitebeard for so many years, and apart from Whitebeard, he really hasn't heard of anyone who would take someone else as a son.

"Are you referring to the former BIGMOM Pirates?"

Thatch smiled, he looked at Ace: "You may not believe it, the dozens of sons and daughters of the Charlotte family are actually born by BIGMOM." ”

Ace's mouth opened wide in surprise, and he couldn't even eat the ice cream that had just been brought to his mouth.

"She's the only one who gives birth to so many?"

"yes. You just came to the new world and you don't know, in fact, BIGMOM is a weird person, his body structure is different from others, and he has the ability of strange powers, strange sounds, and steel skin since he was a child.

Hey, Ace, don't be scared.

BIGMOM not only has many children, but also has all races, such as the long-legged clan, the fish-man clan, and the snake-headed clan...... That woman, it's really not what we can imagine! ”

Ace's black bangs were stained with white air-dried sea salt and messy in the sea breeze, and there was only one word left to describe his first feeling for BIGMOM at this time: "cow...... Cow beep ......"

"yes, it's pretty good."

Seeing that Ace seemed to have recovered from his low mood, Thatch gradually became more relaxed.

Ace hesitated for a moment, but finally asked, "Then are you also Whitebeard's biological children?" ”

"No, not at all!"

Thatch swallowed a mouthful of ice cream before continuing to reply, "All the people on the ship, none of them are related to Daddy. ”

"Then why do you all call him Daddy?"

"Because, people like us with very different personalities and eccentric tempers will not be welcomed anywhere.

But in the Whitebeard Pirates, Daddy will tolerate all of our shortcomings, willfulness, and past.

The man gave us a home, so we ...... All willingly called him Daddy. ”

Ace's eyes flickered, and he was so shocked by Thatch that he couldn't say a word.

A "home"?

What a simple and rare answer.

Where is your home? That bandit hut on Kolpo Mountain in the Goa Kingdom of the East Sea?

Indeed, there are a lot of lovely people there, and it is also the place where I met Sabo and Luffy.

But how can a real "home" be without parents?

In Ace's view, Gore D. Roger is just a scumbag dad who doesn't care about his life.

Monchi S. D. Karp is the bastard naval grandfather who gave his own grandson and godgrandson to be raised by bandits.

Ace is really fed up with this father and grandfather.

If the "Whitebeard Pirates" is a home, then in this "home", will there really be a place for themselves?

"Ace, what do you think? Your ice cream is almost turning to water. ”

"Ah, I'm sorry!"

Ace opened his mouth wide, poured all the half-melted ice cream into his mouth, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Thatch gasped, frowned and shook his head, "Where did you learn how to eat?" There's no way to appreciate the wonderful taste of ice cream when you eat ice cream like this. ”

Ace stood up and wiped the corners of his mouth, grinning: "It's delicious!" ”

"Where are you going?" Thatch asked uneasily.

"Since I can eat such delicious ice cream, of course I have to thank Miss Monica!"

……

After Ace met "Ghost" Carl, visited "Redhead" Shanks, challenged "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate, and finally failed 79 sneak attacks, time has blink of an eye to 1518 in the sea calendar.

The quadrennial World Conference was once again convened on time as usual, and most of the high-level officials of the countries that are members of the world governments had arrived safely, the holy place of "Mary Joa".

This time, the participating countries include the "Desert Kingdom" Alabastan, the "Land of Love, Passion and Fairies" Dressrosa, the "Iron Bucket Kingdom" Magnetic Drum Island, the "Armed Country" Prodians, the West Sea "Flower Country", the North Sea "Science Country" Jerma, the "Fish-Man Island" Dragon Palace Country, the "Golden City" Glen Tezzolo and other more than 50 world government member countries.

(The war expert is the organization of Jerma 66, not the Kingdom of Jerma, although they are essentially a group of people)

In fact, there are more than 100 member countries of the world government, but some countries are too weak and too small to have any practical value, and they are basically just a number, so the world government did not invite the kings of those countries.

Of course, the "World Conference" is not more than 50 kings and officials of the world government gathered in the same conference room to discuss together, in fact, they all meet in batches, who can sit in the same conference room with whom, there are many details in it.

It's hard to say whether this pattern will change in the future, at least this year and before.

"Steel Bone" Kong, Generalissimo of the Three Armies of the World Government.

When he is a soldier, he is no longer a pure soldier, and he can already be regarded as a half politician.

The status of the air that controls the military power of the three armed services is not lower than that of the "five old stars" at all.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet, this is not a vegetable market for you to quarrel!"

The sound of the empty was not loud, but it effectively suppressed the red-faced kings arguing on both sides of the table.

Unlike the "United Nations" on the planet, it is necessary to act according to the faces of the great powers.

In this world, the world government has absolute force and power.

"Kobra, do you still care about the world because of your virtue? Take care of your desert first, I've heard that your country has stopped raining for a year! ”

Sitting in his seat, the king of Magnetic Drum Island, Valpo, squirted a word from the king of Alabastan, Kobra.

In fact, the two of them still have something in common, they have both been severely cheated by Carl once.

Valpo was robbed of countless treasures and devoured fruits by Karl, and Kobra was taken away by Karl from a rubbings of the historical text that recorded the location of the Immortal.

"You ......"

The upright Kobra was so angry that Valpo got up from his chair.

"King Kobra, please calm down."

Sora first persuaded Kobra, then looked at Valpo, "Valpo, watch your words!" ”

Valpo was so frightened by the military temperament of the empty body that he shrunk his neck and stopped talking.

This matter was originally Valpo's fault, and Kobra was a descendant of the Neferutari family, so Sora naturally wouldn't be polite to Valpo.

"Hehe, Marshal Kong, in fact, compared to the revolutionary army, I think that the Kahlert led by the 'ghost' Karl you just mentioned is the most threatening organization to the world government!"

Valpo was extremely thick-skinned, and after being reprimanded by Sora, instead of getting angry, he supported Sora's opinion with a hippie smile.

Sora was a soldier after all, and his sensitive instincts told him that although Kahlert did not overthrow one kingdom after another like the Revolutionary Army, their military might well be the biggest threat to the world government, and even the world.

"Don't, right?"

Tezzolo, dressed in a gorgeous outfit, interjected: "Kahlert is just a bunch of pirates at best, can it be compared to a revolutionary organization like the Revolutionary Army?" ”

Although Tezzolo once fought with Carl against the BIGMOM Pirates, this did not prevent him from attending the World Conference.

After all, Fish-Man Island is the territory of Whitebeard's protection, so isn't it also the same to participate in the World Conference?

The money of the Golden City, the technology of Jerma, the medicine of Drum Island, the racial significance of Fish-Man Island......

Politicians in world governments are not like children, they only look at profits.

Sora looked at Tezzolo and asked, "Tezzolo, do you have any good advice?" ”

"No, I'm just a businessman, not a soldier, let alone an official. I don't know what you're going to do.

I'm only responsible for paying for it, and you can decide what you think. ”

Tezzolo propped his chin in his hands, and wore ten rings of gold, silver, and diamonds on his ten fingers, which made Hollow can't help but despise the rich people of this world government.

Sora looked at the old and new kings of Dressrosa, "Violet" and "King Riku", at Elizabello II, the "King of War" in the Kingdom of Prodeens, and at "Vince Mock Gaji" in the Kingdom of Jerma.

I don't know why, he always felt that the atmosphere of this meeting was weird.
