Chapter 229 Ace, do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly live? (Please vote for me)
‘Will Portcas D. Ace choose to accept the [Supreme Straw Hat] and [Sun God Fruit]?’
With inexplicable thoughts, Cui Ze and Shanks traveled through Windmill Village and all the way to Gorbo Mountain behind the village.
On the way.
The thoughts in Cui Ze's mind kept rolling.
'If I remember correctly, Ace always believed that he was 'the person who inherited the devil's blood' until his death.'
'In other words, Ace has always been very resistant to, and even disgusted with, his own bloodline, and even his father, Gol D. Roger.'
'In this case, Shanks came to Ace with the [Straw Hat] and [Rubber Fruit] and chose to reveal all its meaning. Will Ace choose to accept it?'
Even the foresighted Cui Ze was not sure at this moment what decision Ace would make.
Didn't bother the group of Dadan bandits who adopted Ace (and will continue to adopt Luffy in the future) on Mount Gorbo.
Cui Ze and Shanks each used their own methods to accurately target the young child sitting on the cliff behind the mountain, looking lonely at the sea.
Portcas D. Ace!
…
The gentle sea breeze blew the tips of Ace's black hair, but it could not blow away the sadness in his heart.
When he was still in his infancy.
Ace was taken away from Batelila Island in the South China Sea by Garp, brought directly to Dawn Island in the East China Sea, and handed over to the care of Dadan in Gorbo Mountain.
But even if you are far away from the land of right and wrong in the South China Sea.
In Karp's hometown, Windmill Village, in the Kingdom of Goa, which is known as "the cleanest pearl in the East China Sea".
As little Ace grew up, he would always hear descriptions about his father who only existed in newspapers and news from others.
Among those descriptions, very few are positive.
The vast majority of ordinary people chatting.
None of them had any favorable impressions of the legendary Pirate King, let alone the other party who could be said to have personally unveiled the "Great Age of Pirates" that swept the entire world!
To be fair.
Little Ace didn't know much about his father, and his basic impressions came from outside descriptions.
However.
Due to official naval duties, Garp rarely stayed in Windmill Village for too long;
Dadan and his gang are bandits living in the Kingdom of Goa and have no interest in pirates or anything like that;
The intelligence information Ace obtained about his father basically came from the residents of Windmill Village and even the rest of the people of Goa Kingdom.
These people, without exception, have a general and broad impression of One Piece - synonymous with evil and chaos!
How do ordinary people care about the significance of One Piece to the world?
To them, One Piece is just the world's number one pirate.
affected by outside influences.
Over time and over time.
Little Ace also began to dislike his biological father very much.
But what was even more difficult for him to accept was the malicious comments about him from the people who talked about One Piece, which was extended from his father Roger.
‘If Goldo Roger had a son, then that little bad boy would definitely be [beheaded], right?!’
'Wouldn't many countries give [hanging] to pirates? Hang him!'
'With the world's hatred for the Pirate King...how about our punishment of death with acupuncture?'
‘Burn him to death with the fire type! Listen to the little villain’s cry before he dies!’
'The most important point is that we must make the appearance of Roger's child before his death known to the public just like we did to Roger, so that his bad family will be ridiculed by the world forever!'
Such extremely vicious remarks could actually come from the mouths of ordinary people who seemed to be honest and good-natured in the past.
Ace doesn't know either.
When one day, his identity is completely exposed in front of these people who used to treat him as kind and gentle, will the other party behave in a manner consistent with their words?
But even at a young age, Ace could feel that these people's subconscious bad words definitely came from their sincere thoughts.
The Pirate King is the source of chaos, the evil devil, who disrupts the order of the world and destroys the stability of the sea!
The son of the Pirate King is a born bad person who inherited the blood of the devil! He must not be allowed to survive in the world!
Ace didn't know how to argue with those people.
No one has ever told him how to correctly understand the dialectical significance of One Piece to the world.
Hatred, hostility, hatred from the outside world...
The weight that keeps accumulating on the young Ace, the "son of the Pirate King" is as heavy as a mountain.
Occasionally, I woke up from a dream in the middle of the night.
Ace, who was so stressed that he couldn't breathe, would always think about a question.
"Is my birth a good thing?"
Facing the boundless sea and the gently blowing mountain breeze, Ace took the trouble to ask this question.
He thought it would be the same as before.
There is no answer to this question.
"This is not a question that children of your age should have to think about."
A very unfamiliar voice came from behind Ace.
Like a frightened beast, little Ace turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and immediately saw two very strange men.
The one on the left has a handsome face and is wearing a dark coat;
The one on the right has red hair and a yellow straw hat.
At a glance, one can tell that these two people have very different temperaments from the ordinary residents of Windmill Village.
"Who are you?"
Little Ace nimbly turned over and stood up, looking warily at the two men who appeared in his "secret base".
"Why are you here?"
"Hey, little Ace, I'm Shanks, a pirate."
Shanks, who had just spoken, took the initiative to step forward with a bright smile on his face.
"This is the first time we meet, please give me some advice."
Compared to the enthusiastic Shanks.
Cui Ze's behavior seemed much colder. He put his hands in his pockets and stood there, looking here without saying a word.
"He is also a pirate, his name is——"
Shanks was about to introduce Cui Ze's identity when he suddenly realized that he didn't know Cui Ze's name yet, so he could only speak vaguely.
"Just call him Ka Ka, the name doesn't matter."
Looking at the playful and smiling face in front of me, this red-haired man doesn't look like a decent man.
Ace couldn't help but frown and turned to look at Cui Ze.
"You guys are in the same group? Then you should be the leader, right?"
Ace looked directly at Cui Ze's face, like a newborn tiger calf, his aura was not weak.
Cui Ze appreciated Ace's words, but he still shook his head.
"We are not in the same group, and I am not Shanks' boss...but we are both here for you."
Cui Ze said calmly.
"Portcas D. Ace, or Gol D. Ace."
Hear your full name.
Ace's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.
The other party actually knew his name!
Then you should also know his life experience!
"Are you all pirates?"
Recalling the world's evaluation of his father, Ace raised his hands and put them in front of him, subconsciously assuming a defensive posture.
"Do you know that I am the son of the Pirate King?
"Are you here to kill me?"
Cui Ze didn't have time to respond.
Shanks frowned, "What nonsense...why do you think we are here to kill you?"
"Isn't it?"
Ace only felt that his lips were a little dry, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"I am the son of the Pirate King...if you kill me, you will definitely become famous immediately, right?"
"Hahaha!"
Hearing this, Shanks couldn't help laughing.
"Famous? Both me and the cards over there have passed the stage of accumulating fame."
Ace looked suspicious.
If it was the handsome guy over there who said this, he might still believe it.
But what comes out of your mouth...
I don’t know why, but I always feel that I’m not convinced enough.
"ha--"
Shanks naturally noticed Ace's suspicious expression, and immediately made a strange sound, planning to introduce the reputation of the Red-haired Pirates to this boy.
"Let's get down to business, redhead."
Cui Ze interrupted Shanks' behavior.
"The child of Roger, the Pirate King, now has an opportunity in front of you."
Hear what Cui Ze said.
Both Ace and Shanks calmed down and looked here.
Cui Ze looked at Ace and asked softly.
"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly...live?"
