Fire Fist of the Rebirth Pirate Comes to the World

But ever since Pirate King Gore D. Rodger, everyone has looked away from that title and looked away from Ed Waters!

Ed Waugh, - END-WAR.

True to its name, "The Last War"!

Chapter 13 - Lies and Oaths

On the second day of drinking with the redhead's group, Ace left with his companion.

"Let's part here, I have less than a month to prepare for the next one," Ace smiled, his face solemn and straight, "If we survive, we'll drink together again."

"Whatever, there's no way to persuade you anyway." The redhead's pupils flashed with a gleam, and he looked grave, "But before I leave, I still want to ask you once more, in your heart, what kind of person is Whitebeard?"

What kind of a person?

Ace chanted slightly as the image of Whitebeard's seemingly insurmountable mountain-like figure flashed from his mind, looking a bit unnatural, "An amazing sea pirate no, I should say, Whitebeard is the best pirate in the world!"

The redhead nodded, a mysterious smile appearing on his face, "So that's what you think too, isn't it, to most of the pirates of the new world, Whitebeard is the uncrowned king, it's not right for me as an enemy to say so, but he is indeed the pirate who stands at the top of this world, and I'm sure no one will doubt the truth of that assessment itself. "

"And that's why I want to ask you if it's really worth it to challenge Whitebeard. Regardless of who wins or loses, such a great pirate who is revered by everyone, but you want to use such an extreme method to put a rest on his life, I really can't imagine it, so I can only assume Ace that you truly admire Whitebeard to such a terrible degree that you want to risk your own life to gain Whitebeard's approval, right?"

Ace was stunned by what was said and slowly lowered his head, apparently acquiescing to the redhead's words, looking back to his side and then to Yuna, only to see her looking at him with an encouraging gaze, as if she too was eager to find out the answer.

Her own words seemed to have paid off, and the redhead put her mind at ease for the time being, "In short, I won't stop you from challenging Whitebeard, I just hope that before you act, you'll think more about the purpose of what you're doing, what your starting point is, and don't choose the wrong path for yourself just because of a momentary whim."

"That's all that's said and done, so be on your own." The redhead's large hand stroked, the invisible momentum emitted drummed his robes, and brought his companions with him to leave the snow in flames.

This era of rampant pirates had lasted for nearly twenty years, countless heroic and noble-like figures had been buried in the sands of time, so had Roger, so had the Golden Lion, in this sea without a rival and long-standing enemy, how many more days had Whitebeard had to watch himself slowly decay?

There was only silence.

Ace, who had spent nearly a year behind the Golden Lion, could fully understand that for the Golden Lion and Whitebeard, who shared the same experience, how much was there to live without Roger and without Whitebeard alone?

Ace, trying to be Whitebeard's enemy! He would give his life for it, if it would allow Whitebeard to still feel the pleasure of the world.

Beneath this canopy where only the icy wind was whistling, Ace looked at the sky with his head held high, almost obsessively.

"I've heard that every dead person transforms into a star in the sky, so which one belongs to Sich-sensei? Which one would be the mother who had left me at birth?"

Ace raised his right hand to the sky, as if he wanted to take all the stars in the palm of his hand wherever his eyes touched, a childish act that almost everyone had done when they were young, but what Ace felt today was already different, the more powerful he was, the more he could feel the vastness of the world, and compared to nature, creatures like humans were really still too small.

"What are you lamenting." The gentle voice sounded behind Ace, and what came into view when she turned back was a young girl with short flaxen shoulder-length hair and a slender figure with a sweet and calm face.

"No, just a sudden bit of sentiment." Ace smiled and waved to Yuna. She came over nicely and snuggled into Ace's warm embrace, "I was thinking about what the redhead just said, is it really too self dictatorial of me to challenge Whitebeard?"

Yuna's long eyelashes quivered and she shook her head with a smile, "It's just candor. Since you've decided to duel with Whitebeard, I can only choose to support you, can't I, not to mention that I'm a companion who's been with you several times."

A good woman was one who could smile at a man when he returned without asking anything.

Una was an extremely good woman, and she was always able to give Ace the gentlest reassurance at the right time, more than any other person at any time.

And it just so happened that Bonnie couldn't do that, White Star couldn't do that, Empress couldn't do that, Cornelius couldn't do that, and Lilith couldn't do that.

True support, just the right amount of tenderness, far more overwhelming than a beautiful exterior!

However, in the midst of their warmth, Yuna seemed to sense something and scowled, "You've been looking over there for a long time, come out!"

"Oh, oh, oh, my sister is still so alert, but I don't mean any harm." Soft footsteps came from behind the two of them, Lilith's gorgeous silver hair was like a million waterfalls, in the silvery snow, I don't know if it was the snow that illuminated her or she illuminated the white snow.

"It's just that as a crew member, I always have to keep an eye on my own captain's situation, because if I go the wrong way, but a boat full of people will drown, yo." The other party's smile was as glorious as the moon in the night, but that tone, however, was as cold as a cold spring, "For example, the act of driving the ship over, knowing that there is an iceberg in front of you."

"Then don't bother, for Whitebeard, we have our own ways." Without waiting for Ace to reply, Yuna was already saying coldly with a blank expression.

"Own methods? Good one has his own way." Lilith's eyes flashed a strange color and said with a seeming smile, "I have warned you repeatedly before that Whitebeard and other pirates are different, there is more than just a difference in strength, the chaotic and intertwined handover between the major powers of the New World only needs a small breakthrough to be able to point all the powers at you, hmmm, don't be too naive ah! "

Lilith's gaze flickered, a teasing smile hanging on the corner of her mouth, "I remember you used to be in the navy too, I'm not interested in what brought you down to this level, all I'm interested in is learning about the battle between the New World's most popular star, Fire Fist, and the Four Emperors Whitebeard. What kind of initiatives will be made? The momentum in the new world is now clear to each other, as you can guess, and it's going to be interesting then."

"You're overstating it." Feeling the uneasy trembling in Yuna's arms, Ace's face darkened, "Nothing to do with navy pirates or anything like that, we're just a group of adventurers chasing freedom, it doesn't matter if we're hated as thieves or not, it's even less our intention to be seen as a thorn in someone's side, who likes having a bunch of experts thinking about how to take their heads all day long? "

People were forced to do it, so was Ace, so was Yuna, so was even Lilith herself.

"Well said, worthy of my fancy men chasing their desires with the profit-driven powers-that-be, the deeds of the world's evildoers can be considered much more humane. It's because the world is ruled by trash, and that's why we've created a bunch of trash!"

"So what, you're telling me this now, is there a decision to be made?" Ace put his hands together and looked unconcerned.

"Ah, that ah, sort of." Perhaps considering her next decision, Lilith seemed to be afraid to look directly at Ace, a hint of hesitation and struggle flashed across her face, "I've decided to leave you for a while."

As the words trailed off, Ace's pupils contracted sharply, and a huge wave was created in his heart, taking a deep breath and forcing himself to calm down, he said acerbically, "Why?"

"Because I don't want to die, at least, not yet." Lilith's beautiful eyes flashed with a faint hint of hatred, but it was well concealed by her as she rubbed her forehead and said helplessly, "Besides, I'm only leaving 'temporarily'."

"If we're alive in a month, you'll 'come back', and if we're dead, you won't have to keep any promises, huh, that's ridiculous!" Yuna's anger rose up from her heart and just smirked at her, or rather she hadn't had faith in Lilith since the beginning.

"Whatever you think." The sarcasm from the others didn't bother Lilith at all.

"Obviously, I promised to come with me to Rafdru" a depressed Ace took a deep breath and tried to calm the inexplicable irritation in her heart.

"Silly brother" Lilith laughed softly, a pair of white as snow plain hands embraced Ace tightly in her arms, the pair of red pupils like a crystal version of dreams stared at Ace, a trace of helplessness fleeting, "Do you know the difference between an oath and a lie? One is taken seriously by those who speak, and the other by those who listen."

CHAPTER XIV. respective actions

Within half a day of the red-haired bandits leaving, Lilith, as she herself had said, had left the Black Inferno Bandits quietly and alone after informing both Ace and Yuna, just as she had left so abruptly when she had joined for no apparent reason.

But how many people would care? Except for Ace, I'm afraid there is no one else on this ship who has some kind of affection for Lilith, perhaps because the pain from the past is too deep, so she is arrogant and aloof, like a hedgehog, hurting everyone who wants to get close to her one by one.

Paying the true heart to get the true heart, but may also hurt completely, keeping distance, you can protect yourself, but also doomed to be forever lonely.

"Having done all that she can do, the rest is up to her to choose." Having never experienced another person's pain, who are you to dictate to them what they should do with their lives?

Maybe it was just a hot head at first, in the spirit of compassion to pull the other side, but a few times life and death, the emotions between the two, is no longer the simple pity and sympathy, spent a month together, he can feel that the proud but like to tease their own woman, in fact, also has a fragile side, in the face of the terrible natural disasters, she needs to trust only Ace alone, other people in her view does not matter, and she will also in order to survive in a critical situation, and without the slightest consideration to cut off the life of other people.

Each of them held different beliefs, and Ace might never understand Lilith, but something had indeed begun to change in the time he'd spent with her.

As Lilith said, it was much more humane to chase after lust with the profit-driven powers-that-be, the evil doings of the world, and it was because of the waste that ruled the world that a batch of waste was created.

Probably, she'll continue on the same path she was on before, the road of no return that led everyone, including herself, to destruction.

"I wish I could see it again, that smile after successfully teasing me."

Ace took off his hat and looked at the dim sky that was covered by clouds, just as he was feeling now, losing the warmth of the sun.

However at this time the secretly despondent Ace did not yet know that because of this disturbing factor of his, the sea was now stormy.

Naval Headquarters, Marlene Vandor.

"What! Fire Fist is going to duel with the Four Kings' white beard!?" As soon as he received this news, the warrior kingdom was already sweating coldly, not even caring about his manners as a marshal, he shouted out to the phone worm, "Who gave that brat the audacity to directly confront the outnumbered Four Emperors even with those few scum under him with less than 5 combat power? What, lack of information? What do you do as head of the Intelligence Division!"

Clearly aiming for a lag in the arm of Cap's donut to his mouth, the warrior's eyes flickered harshly, and he hung up the phone, holding back his anger.
