The man with wealth, fame, power, and everything in the world, "Pirate King" Gol D. Roger, said something before he was executed, causing people all over the world to rush to the sea.
"Do you want my treasure? If you want it, go to the sea and find it. I will leave it all there."
The world begins to welcome the advent of the "Great Age of Pirates".
As the number of pirates around the world increases, ordinary people who are mediocre and have no ambitions are also involved in this catastrophe.
Pain, wails, hate.
These people spared no effort in cursing the pirates who destroyed their peaceful lives.
Cursing the dead Pirate King, as well as the bones and blood of the Pirate King that may exist.
After Roger's death, the furious world government liquidated Roger's traces and wanted to kill his bloodline.
The government ordered the navy to search for all possible pregnant women, searching for women who were going to give birth at that time.
In order to prevent the World Government from discovering that Ace is the son of Roger, the Pirate King, Lujiu used various methods to greatly delay Ace's birth date.
One year and three months after the death of Pirate King Roger, Ace was born on Badelira Island, and he died of exhaustion after giving birth to Ace.
At the same time, the navy will eliminate all possible suspicious pregnant women in the name of the world government.
"My birth... is pure sin. This world just welcomed my arrival, and countless people died because of it..."
His fists were weakly supporting his body, and his tears were dripping on the grass.
"People like me...should never have appeared in the world in the first place..."
Ace, crying out the pressure in his heart.
"Besides becoming a pirate, where should I go?
Can a person like me, as an ordinary person... live in the world as if nothing happened?
Hello! The grandson of a hero! tell me! Tell me! "
He cried and yelled at Luffy.
Sabo looked at Ace blankly. Is this the reason why Ace wanted to become a pirate?
Uta's rabbit ears drooped. She had been listening to Shanks telling those wonderful adventure stories and telling the legends one after another on the sea.
This made her think that Roger was a pretty great pirate.
However, at this moment, fragments appeared on the beautiful filter, and it shattered to pieces with a snap.
Uta is a person with strong empathy, and she clearly felt Ace's pain.
For a time, my view of this older child changed.
"You live very hard..." she said softly.
"Ace, he is a very kind person." Luffy put away his gun.
Some vague memories of the plot became clearer under Ace's narration.
The world of pirates is not a world of white and black. While the plot touts the story of pirates' freedom, it also quietly says that pirates are a group of insidious and cunning villains.
Marines wearing the cloak of justice will also obey orders and do things that are not just at first glance.
Ordinary people who seem to be ordinary and weak will kill the righteous navy for money.
Because of the Ace incident, some people on the Internet also said: The biggest scum of One Piece is Garp. In order to save Roger's son, he indirectly killed thousands of pregnant women. It was like a birth within a birth.
Ai Mazi was born with sin, a devil born on the lives of thousands of pregnant women and babies.
…
Justice, kindness, evil...these words are too labels, as if applying these labels will reflect a person's complicated life.
These are all unimportant things, to Luffy.
Even ordinary society without demons has some funny things happening.
At the end of the 19th century, America promulgated something called the "ugly law", which regarded the sick, disabled people and people of color as "disabled creatures" and prohibited "street begging". At the same time, it was announced that "certain people are not allowed to beg in the streets or Appearing in public places…
Civilization, kindness, justice, and evil are all one-sided and labeled things. They are class-based things that will change due to changes in people's positions.
Talking about these things is as funny as talking about whether X Fei is a national hero and whether his title of hero should be removed from the shelves and whether it will undermine national integration.
What is honey to him is arsenic to me, this is something that has no solution.
Strength is the only right.
People without strength are doomed to spend their lives in pain and powerlessness.
"Ace is a very kind person." He said.
"It is precisely because of kindness that I cannot face the original sin that I carry. It is because of kindness that I can't breathe.
If that's the case, don't become a pirate. That will hurt the few people who care about you. "
"If you want to know my answer, then I can point you in the direction, in the name of the king."
Luffy stood in front of Ace.
Dappled sunlight filtered through the leaves and shone on the boy's naked upper body.
Because of the light, the children's good eyesight can see suspended objects floating in the air, those dust-like things surrounding him like stars.
"Just run away."
The boy said this with a gentle smile on his face.
"Run away from those heavy burdens. Those pregnant women were not killed intentionally, but were planned by the World Government. The executor was the navy, which has nothing to do with you."
"You have not enjoyed all the resources and treatment given to you by the Pirate King's father. You relied on my grandfather, Garp, to survive. Your father's sin has nothing to do with you. You are a victim. You were given birth to by him willfully and abandoned in the world. In this world.”
"You have to remember your mother. She worked very hard to bring you into this world. She must love you very much and hope you can live happily in this world."
"Just run away. Running away is not a loss, but a victory."
“Look at what you have now instead of clinging to the past and the future, we are short-sighted people who live in the present.”
"If you don't do this, the only things you have now will be discarded on the ground. When you think about it in the future, you will cry again. That would be too sad."
"Finally...I want to tell you the reason why you must do this:"
The armed domineering energy is like a rushing tide, gathering in the fist.
Luffy raised his right arm, and his whole body seemed to exude an invisible power. The naked upper body could be seen, and the muscles all over Luffy's body were coiled.
The temperature rises, the flames burst into flames.
He pushed Ace to the ground with his left hand and pressed his chest. He raised his right hand high and struck the ground with his crimson fist grazing Ace's neck.
Everyone clearly felt the ground shake, and Luffy's fist penetrated into the ground.
Everyone believed that if he really hit Ace, he would be able to punch right through.
"You have no power to resist me. This is the real original sin."
"Power is the reason to become a king!"
"Choose: you have the guts to give up embracing the world and die; or live with the love of your mother and watch the future me tear apart the world created by Roger -"
Luffy pressed Ace's chest and slowly pulled his right hand out of the ground.
Because he was armed, there wasn't even a speck of dust on his fist.
Ace stared at the moving flames from the depths of his tearful eyes.
"Ahhhhh-" Full tears rushed down from the corners of his eyes.
"Mother……"
The rest of them held their breath, waiting for Ace's choice.
"I still have...a reason to live. Can you do it, Luffy, tear the world created by Roger to pieces!"
"Um!"
Luffy stood up.
"Leave all responsibilities to me, because Ace has no power. Just run away as much as you can. If anyone wants to blame you, let them come to me. I ordered you to live like this. Yeah, you don’t have any sins.”
"Damn it...what nonsense are you talking about? I'm three years older than you. I won't run away!"
Ace… howled.
Has the problem been solved? It should be solved.
Even if it's not resolved, it's none of my business. I've tried my best, so I can't really punch him to death.
"Come with me to Windmill Village. There are very good people there. If you want to visit Dadan, you can go up the mountain to find her. Dadan can also live in Windmill Village. The village chief will not refuse."
Luffy extended the invitation.
"Well..." Ace nodded with sobs.
"That's great." Uta smiled happily, "It's a happy ending."
"It's not good enough." Luffy said.
"Ace needs to apologize properly for the bad things he did before."
"Is it... about stealing the pirate's treasure? But if I exchange the treasure back, I won't be forgiven..." Ace asked.
"I hid my treasure in a tree."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Pirates deserve it if they can't take good care of their treasures. They are third-rate idiot pirates." Uta said.
"Indeed, what we have to deal with is just to completely eliminate the so-called Sapphire Pirates."
"Take those treasures home. Think of them as a thank you gift to Dadan for taking you in, or as a rent payment for disturbing the residents of Windmill Village."
"As for that pirate group, just tell grandpa." Luffy said.
He was too lazy to go to places like the Uncertain Terminal.
The affairs of the Celestial Dragons are not something for children to think about, they are things for adults to consider.
My father is also near the Kingdom of Goa now, right?
After all, it was an earth-shattering event like the Tianlong people traveling.
Luffy was too lazy to continue thinking and walked back.
"Please take me with you. My name is Sabo. I am a runaway. I have been friends with Ace for five years."
Sabo said as he followed them.
"welcome……"
Uta said.
She glanced at Sabo, then at Ace, and finally moved to Luffy.
Purple eyes are full of curiosity to explore everything.
"Who are Luffy's father and mother? I've never heard you mention them. Didn't grandpa tell you?"
"I don't know. Grandpa never told me these things, and I never asked about them."
Luffy had a soft smile on his face.
A boy who lives alone and strong in this world with only his grandfather to protect him - this kind of character is really cool.
Even if it is a small bad thing, no one will blame you for your occasional willfulness.
Personality is a very important thing.
"Yeah?……"
The water in Uta's eyes was flowing, Luffy was a gentle and strong boy, being a little bad was not a very important thing.
She recalled her first meeting with Luffy.
The boy held my wrist very hard and pushed me to the ground...
But... Uta quietly came back with all his revenge. Luffy didn't know it yet. The idiot who was intoxicated in Uta's world every day had no idea that during the spare time when his body was resting, he was being commanded by Uta all day long. Live, serving as Uta’s car~
laugh……
"Luffy, I'm tired from walking..."
"I'll carry you and leave. You can say this earlier."
Luffy put his hands through the girl's thighs and back, and pulled Uta up.
"This posture..." Uta had to put his hands around Luffy's neck, his face felt a little hot.
He just wanted Luffy to carry him, but now he was being picked up...
Without Uta slowing them down, the group's mobility increased.
Ace gave half of the treasure to Sabo in the tree. He no longer wanted to be a pirate, but Sabo's dream was still to go to sea, and these treasures were a joint effort between the two.
Garp stood on a tall tree, with tears in his eyes, staring at the place where these little devils walked to the bandit Dadan.
"Ace, there's something... Grandpa doesn't know how to do it. He's just very clumsy and chose an easy option to avoid..."
Because he heard the gunshot and felt it was coming from Luffy's place.
Garp was a little worried and rushed over.
Overheard the children's conversation.
In prison, Roger asked him to help hide the woman Portcas D. Luju with the words "unborn children are innocent".
The power of the government is powerful. They found out where Roger disappeared within a year after he became the Pirate King.
I also vaguely knew that someone helped Roger.
The world government, which possesses the supreme power, does not hesitate to arrest all suspicious pregnant women and execute them. This is a threat to him and his secret helpers.
Hand over the real mother and child, or let [us] kill all suspicious pregnant women.
This is what the World Government decides.
A mother and her son died to save tens of thousands of mother and son pairs.
It's a good deal no matter how you look at it.
But Garp didn’t know how to choose.
He chose silence.
Silence became the answer.
So... during that period, within that range, those pregnant women who had the possibility were killed.
Garp looked at the newborn child in his hands.
The life he was born made him happy. The child had a future with all possibilities, but watching this child for a long time became painful.
So, he gave Ace to the bandits to raise.
I only occasionally take care of each other.
This is a painful world, and everyone is burdened with the original sin of having no power.
"Dadan, I'm going to live in Windmill Village. This is the treasure I've accumulated..." Ace grabbed a handful of jewelry and said to the bandit.
"If you have these things, just give them to me as soon as possible, idiot, get out of here, I'm finally liberated!"
Dadan glanced at Luffy, grabbed the jewelry and cursed.
"Well, I'm leaving. I'll visit you often."
Ace waved to the bandits.
"That bastard..." The obese female bandit cried, lighting up five cigarettes and holding them in her plump lips.
"Don't cause trouble to others..." She had tears in her eyes.
"As for boss, Windmill Village is quite close."
"Asshole, we are bandits, how can we go to the village every day and disturb others!"
