Pirates: The Old Ones

And when the sea is in turmoil and the world is in chaos.

Karp, a naval hero, was supposed to suppress those crazy pirates outside, but… At this time, he came to the sixth layer of the Deep Sea Great Prison, the Advance City, and made countless pirates fearful.

After walking through the dark corridor, it didn’t take long for Karp to come to a dark cage.

When he saw Ace, who was covered in injuries, still wrapped in chains, sitting on the ground with his head bowed, and his breath was languishing…

As if the softest place in my heart was touched, my heart fluttered violently, and the gaze that originally contained a trace of anger instantly softened.

Whoops…

And Ace, who was sitting on the ground, as if sensing something, moved his body, slowly raised his head to look directly in front of him, and when he saw that it was Karp, he was startled.

“Old… Geezer. ”

Coming back to his senses, Ace exclaimed with a weak face.

“You can still live until now after being so badly injured, Ace!!”

Karp sorted out his emotions and continued: “Thanks to you, the headquarters of the Navy… No, it should be said that the world government, it can also be said that the whole world is in a mess … Hahaha…”

At the end, Karp directly let out a burst of laughter, but the laughter was full of bitterness.

“Kill… Kill me, kill me. ”

Ace said through gritted teeth.

Hearing Ace’s words, Karp was immediately stunned, but… Ace couldn’t care so much now, since he was handed over to the Navy by Blackbeard and told his background, after thinking of Whitebeard’s temper.

Ace finally understood the seriousness of the matter, if he died himself, then for him, it didn’t matter at all, anyway, he always thought that he was a person who should not have been born in this world.

Can…… If he even affected the Whitebeard Pirates because of his own reasons, Ace would not forgive himself even if he died.

“You want me to kill you? Idiot things, it’s useless to do anything now, even if you die now, Whitebeard will definitely not give up. ”

Speaking of this, Cap paused, his eyes condensed slightly, and continued with a solemn face: “No one can stop it anymore, because… We have already the King of the Sea. ”

Seeing that Ace didn’t say a word, Karp let out a sigh in his heart.

“I wanted you to be a great navy with Luffy, and it turned out… Instead of being a navy, you have become notorious villains. ”

Although Karp said so, there was no hint of blame in his tone to blame Ace and Luffy.

“You must have met Luffy that kid before you were defeated by Blackbeard, right?”

“That stinky boy is really making a fuss, not only is he involved with Shanks’s bastard, but even the captain of the hot-blooded pirate group who has recently become famous on the sea, Wang Ye, when he was in Rogue Town, because he fought with his old man for a few rounds…”

In the cold cell, Ace bit his lip without saying a word, and at this moment Karp removed his disguise as a naval hero, like an ordinary old man, talking to his grandson.

This is the only time in so many years that the true feelings between ancestors and grandchildren have been shown, and although this environment is very bad, it is surprisingly giving people a very warm feeling.

“Oh, hahahaha…”

In the silence, darkness, desperate infinite hell, Karp’s laughter sounded from time to time.

Maybe he was infected by Karp, or maybe he heard Karp talk about Luffy, especially when he heard Cap say that Luffy heard that his father was startled, a smile appeared at the corner of Ace’s mouth.

“Whether you know this kind of thing or not, it’s a nuisance for me and Luffy, because… Luffy and I both inherit the bloodline of world-class major criminals, how can we become navies! ”

Ace said as if he was talking to himself, and after a pause, he said in a trembling voice: “But… Even after inheriting the name of Potcas, a mother who is so dear to me, I am reluctant to admit the other half of my bastard father’s bloodline, because…”

“In my mind, he did not leave the slightest memory and kindness, but because of him, I became the object of everyone’s disdain, and sometimes I wonder, was it really the right thing for me to be born?”

Hearing Ace’s words mixed with grievances in confusion, and remembering that he had not accompanied him and Luffy much in those years because of his mission, Karp’s heart was touched again.

Karp would like to desperately save Ace, and with his strength, he could easily do it, but… He knew he couldn’t do that because… Once that is done, the Navy is really finished.

“Ace, don’t think so, Roger is Roger, you are you, although you are related, but no matter what, you are always two different people, so…”

“So, old man.”

After interrupting Karp’s words, Ace recalled that he had joined… Or in other words, the scene when Whitebeard was forced to join the Whitebeard Pirate Group with weakness, a smile appeared on his face, raised his head and looked at Karp very resolutely, and said.

“My dad, there was only one Whitebeard from beginning to end.”

But… Karp did not refute, but just looked deeply at Ace, and waited for the tumbling thoughts to calm down before slowly speaking.

“Ace, if… The old man is saying that if, this time, because of the position, the old man can’t save you, will you hate the old man? ”

After speaking, Karp’s heart lifted and looked at Ace nervously.

However…… Ace, who heard this, just smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said: “No, in the final analysis, it is my own willfulness, not listening to you and my father, the skill is not as good as the talent ended up in such a situation, no one is to blame.” ”

“I…”

“Old man, can I ask you something?”

Just as Karp wanted to speak, he was interrupted by Ace again, but Ace didn’t care if Karp would promise him, as if he was talking to himself.

“You also know that Luffy’s stupid personality, with his little strength, still wants to become One Piece all day long, if I really die this time, trouble you to take care of Luffy more, I don’t want to see him in another world so soon.”

Swish!

When he heard this, Karp’s face changed several times, even if he punched Rox and kicked One Piece, he began to become a little irrational in front of family affection.

“Okay, the old man promises you.”

After that, Karp stood up and left in a hurry, knowing that if he continued to stay, he would definitely lose his mind and would desperately rescue Ace.

Bad guys are certainly not worthy of forgiveness, but… Family is different!
