Pirates: Steel Chain Fingers

"Ace, you are so badly injured!"

The members of the Spade Pirates found Ace near the central ruins of the town square shortly after their release.

Mascud Deus, wearing a blue mask, was not only the vice-captain of the Spade Pirates, but also a ship doctor with superb medical skills. He immediately saw that Ace was seriously injured, and said in a trembling voice, "Ribbones. Eleven broken, damaged spine, internal bleeding, comminuted fracture of left arm, fractured skull... God, how dare you walk around so carelessly?"

Ace, who was covered in bandages with a splint on his left hand and hung on his chest, scratched the back of his head with his right hand and smiled dryly: "Ahaha... Well, I have something I want to tell you, something very important."

"I'm not a pirate anymore!"

"...Ah!??"

Everyone was silent for a while, then exclaimed one after another.

"Wait a minute, Captain! What's the situation?" Skal, wearing a skull mask, danced excitedly: "What does it mean to be a pirate? What about the Spade Pirates?"

"That's the meaning of [Not a Pirate]!" Ace grinned: "I have joined the [Hunter Association] and become a [Hunter]."

"Stop joking! Captain!" Skal roared hoarsely: "I don't remember you being such a casual person! Do you think we are playing some kind of pirate game!?"

Skarr's skin turned red with anger, and he was just taken a few steps forward when Deuss held him tightly: "Wait a minute, Skarr, I'll have a good talk with Ace. Everyone calm down!"

After finding an empty house that was still intact, Deus looked at Ace with a serious expression: "Ace, there are only the two of us here. Let's talk about it, what happened?"

"Deus, I chatted with Fierce Chain." Ace's expression became more serious: "Do you remember my origin and my goal of going to sea?"

Deus frowned, he was the first person to follow Ace in this pirate group. He and Ace lived on a deserted island like Ace, and watched Ace become the ability to burn the fruit of nature, and listened to him tell about his troubles, his origin, his father and mother, and his goal of going to sea.

"You want to surpass your father, surpass the man named Gol D. Roger who is called 'One Piece' by the world." Deus frowned: "You tell me you want to defeat Whitebeard, to prove You surpassed One Piece yourself. That's your goal when you go out to sea, right?"

Ace nodded: "Yes, that's what I've always thought about it. Back when I was a kid, my brother Luffy always had a clear goal, but I was in a mess. I don't want to call that man my father, I'll just be grateful and remember. Mother's kindness. But the image of that man on the world in this era is something I can't get rid of, so I want to surpass him, and I want to make my name known all over the world."

"Whitebeard is Roger's lifelong rival. I originally wanted to take off Whitebeard's head to prove my way of surpassing. But the words of the fierce chain reminded me that there is a better way to choose! I can become [Hunter], take a completely different path to completely surpass One Piece Roger!"

"But... if you put it this way, wouldn't it be better to be in the navy?" Deuss couldn't help but say, "Why not choose to be in the navy? You must know that Miss Iska has been looking forward to you..."

"If you are a navy, you will be my brother Luffy! I may kill my brother myself!" Ace said loudly: "You should be very clear about the position between the navy and the pirates, Deuss. .I will definitely never go to the Navy!"

Deus was also furious and shouted: "What's the difference between bounty hunters and navy! Both sides are hunting pirates! Are you a hunter just for your brother's sake?"

"This is different." Ace exhaled and slowly calmed down: "Nami's words reminded me that the Hunter Association has its own policy of doing things under the guidance of the murder chain. [Whitelist], this is what Nami told me of."

"whitelist?"

"It's about a safe list for pirates who don't harm civilians and don't do evil things."

Ace said slowly: "I know Luffy's temperament best, he will never do anything to hurt civilians and help the tyrants, he is a very kind child. If I become a hunter, then I don't have to worry about being with Luffy in the future. enemy."

"...What about Whitebeard?" Deus suddenly threw out a sentence: "Have you given up on this goal?"

"Hehe... Of course not!"

The corners of Ace's mouth twitched: "Another advantage of being a hunter is freedom. I can freely choose what kind of hunter I become, and I can set goals under the big rules. My goal is only one, and that is [Whitebeard's head] !"

Deuss put his hands on his hips and sighed: "Well, since you've thought about it well, then I'm relieved."

"Haha, Boss Deus, are you afraid that I will be deceived by the Fierce Chain?" Ace said with a smile.

"Your head is too rigid, I am really afraid that you will be deceived." Deuss looked at him angrily: "But the Spade Pirates have to stop here. Go, go and see for yourself. Announce the disbandment of the Spade Pirates, if it were you, everyone would accept the result."

"Why do you want to disband?" Ace said strangely: "The Fierce Chain promised me that all of you can join the 'coral' with me. Hey Deus, come together, I will not be happy without you by my side. ."

"Idiot... You should talk about this kind of thing sooner!" Deus said helplessly: "Look at Skarl, everyone thinks you're going to abandon everyone and run off as a hunter by yourself."

The two walked out of the empty room with a smile and a smile, and walked towards their companions who were waiting anxiously.

Portgas D. Ace, the man who ended tragically in the original comics, had a huge turning point in his life under the interference of Victor.

Originally, he would have visited Baterila Island safely and then set sail for the New World, where he met Whitebeard. After being defeated neatly and neatly, Ace and all the members of the Spade Pirates will be drawn into the Whitebeard Pirates, and Ace, who has never experienced his father's love since childhood, will also join the Whitebeard and Whitebeard Pirates. Under the influence of all the staff, they slowly opened their hearts and volunteered to be the adopted son of Whitebeard to bear the banner of Whitebeard.

Then, Ace will fall into the hands of the navy because of a series of events. In the [Top War] that shocked the whole world, in his father Whitebeard, in his beloved grandfather Karp, in his beloved younger brother. In front of Luffy's eyes, Akainu punched through his chest and died on the spot.

But now, his fortunes will change dramatically.

There is only one destiny in one's life.
