Fire Fist of the Rebirth Pirate Comes to the World

"It's the pirate ship of Gore D. Rodger!?" Ace's eyes suddenly widened, revealing true shock and trepidation, and for a moment, the mind was already complicated, never imagining that twenty years ago this world-conquering pirate ship would end up buried in this Rafdru!

"But what was that noise, could it have been the ship talking?" Lilith voiced her suspicions, but didn't want the sails to bulge windlessly the next moment, and a mysterious voice echoed in each of their heads.

"There's no mistake, it's me talking."

A few short words, but they were close to freezing their breaths.

"You may call me, the Golden Jackson."

"It's the Ship's Elf," Ace's face was solemn, and he became solemn at that.

The ship's genie was originally a legend passed down among sailors all over the world, mysterious and beautiful, - ships and people alike have souls, yet only those who truly cherish and care for ships can see the ship's genie, just as people cherish ships, ships also care for those sailors This is just a legend, a legend that people can't believe but is real.

"The Golden Jackson? What a pirate ship for him to give birth to a ship's genie." Ace caressed the worn hull, cold and damp, as if pouring over the ship's glory days, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be leaving Lavenderu with the Pirate King's team?"

"No, I'm the one who had to come back here." Even though the ship's elf had no physical presence, Ace could still feel the sadness in its words.

"Do you know what kind of pain that is? As a ship, but no longer able to continue to sail the seas, only able to watch itself decay and be destroyed."

"I'm sorry, but I'm human and can't understand a pirate ship's desire to sail." Ace cocked his head slightly, and there was a slight dip in his voice, "But I can understand a pirate who is obviously a pirate, but can't ride free in the ocean, because I'm a dry duck, so maybe the two are similar in concept if you compare them."

"What a nostalgic cadence, hahaha."

Hearing a long laugh gradually coming from the void, Ace also spread his smile.

-Should I say worthy of being Roger the Pirate King's pirate ship, the Golden Jackson?

Chapter 49 - The Truly Great Secret Treasure

"Conquest is just an accessory to chasing my dream, my dream is to chase the sea at the end of the world, to get a first-hand glimpse of this vast world!"

Once upon a time, there was a young man who, as he began his magnificent life, promised his companions, not for any purpose, and not to get anything, but simply to challenge the boundless world.

Wasn't it the dream of these people who were once called "boys" to pursue and explore this unknown world? Only with the passage of time, that precious dream was buried so deep that they could hardly remember it even to themselves, but at that time, it was a teenager who rekindled their passion again, describing to his partner the sea at the end of which he had dreamed so many times, aspired to by the people who lit the flame of hope again, and followed him unhesitatingly.

Although no one, not even the boy himself, had ever seen it, they were convinced of it. Because that is what is called a "dream"! Gaze into that infinity, discard unnecessary distractions, move forward, conquer, march towards your dreams, and never give up!

With a dream that no one has ever seen, abandoning all that is unnecessary around him, with the will to never retreat hidden in his heart, even if he is imprisoned by the chains of sacrifice in the gap between reality and ideal, he can hardly hold back his impulse, because there is no reason in the world that can stop a man from running to the sea!

Riding on the raging sea, trying his best to protect all the people he wants to protect, not to become the world's number one pirate king, but just to really pursue the ideal in his heart, even if he dies, even if he leaves his wife and children behind, he is determined and will not turn back.

It's because dreams are called dreams because they're hard to achieve!

--That's the King of Thieves, Gore D. Roger.

Such a wonderful and great life, spoken by the Golden Jackson all at once, made Ace feel a sudden sense of unreality, his nose slightly sore, wanting to sigh listlessly but not knowing where to begin, and finally he had to hold back the tears in his eyes and smile hard and brightly, just how that smile looked, it was forced.

Even though it was only a cursory glimpse, the way that woman looked at him before she died made it impossible for him to get over it for the rest of his life, eyes don't lie, and a mother's love and sadness even more so, they don't fake it!

But what about that guy?

A man who abandons his wife and unborn child for a dream, who betrays the promise of "family", who abandons the family he loves so much, is scum of the earth!

Just a father who hadn't even seen his face since birth, no different than any other stranger to himself, and yes, already dead anyway, no need at all!

Ace tossed his head, his face reappearing with what he thought was a flawless smile, and with an oddly slow voice, "By the way, you just said you came back here of your own free will, so why did you say this wasn't Lavderu?"

"Because I wanted to continue my voyage, but I wanted to return to Rafdru, I unknowingly created this island, but it wasn't real, simply because of my desire."

The Golden Jackson let out a low sigh and continued to explain to them the incredible things that were happening around them.

"This is not Lavdru, but a test on the way to Lavdru, - the world that expands after absorbing dreams, can achieve any dream oh, need light to appear, need food food to appear, but ah although can achieve any wish, but only the dream of leaving the world Unattainable until you finally spit out your dreams, give up on leaving this world and die."

"I just wanted to die at Lavderu in the first place, so"

"What the hell is going on here?" This was the doubt that hovered over the three of Ace's minds, yet it didn't prevent them from making their own decisions.

"So, this really isn't Lavderu?"

Lilith's eyes have hesitation, sighs, and even a hint of imperceptible fear, but eventually turned into a faint warmth, the most painful than death, but people always have to face in the end, not to mention that there are now too many worthy of ties, even if he died here with him.

"Hey hey, there's something wrong with Hatsune Miku!" The ponytailed girl holding a large onion, innocent face, pure white smile, a moment of bloom but the world fell in love, "So, what exactly is OnePiece?"

"It is not for me to answer that question, it is humans who create what you seek after all, human problems can be figured out by using your brains in the way humans think, and you are humans too, so don't stop thinking! If you look at what is really in your heart, you will naturally find the so-called OnePiece!"

"So, did the Pirate King really get the great secret treasure in the first place?"

"That's a question you should ask yourself, as I said, what you really want is what you end up pursuing." Looking into Ace's confused and puzzled eyes, the Golden Jackson added, "So to put it another way why did you want to become a pirate in the first place? Why would you want OnePiece?"

"Why did I become a pirate? Why do you want OnePiece?"

Ace stood frozen for a moment, his voice flat, but with an unmistakable declaration in it.

"It doesn't matter to me how I was born, if I want it, the dream is ahead. Even if it is unrealistic, even if it fails in the end, I have dreamed it and I have had it."

"Hypocrisy, fear, concealment, hesitation even if entangled in all kinds of negative emotions, will not be the slightest bit weak because of this, I, in this capacity once again go forward, stubbornly keep the faith, this is, my way of the pirates, belongs to me the absolute truth!"

His voice was deep and firm, molten with indelible dignity, and the Lilith beside him shuddered, an intense and moving glow in the eyes that reflected Ace's figure, but somehow dulled in the next moment as he thought of something.

"Then it's a journey that will never be answered," the Golden Jackson laughed, still loud, "and if it doesn't happen, what will you do? What if the truth of OnePiece is not what you really want?"

"Unattainable?" With just a small smile, Ace had given the Golden Jackson the best answer he could, "Yeah, and if that doesn't happen, then we'll just find a new dream then!"

His tone, relaxed and laid-back, his eyes, gentle, confused and shining, like a spotless sunrise.

"There are no answers in life, the search for answers is life."

"Yes, this is OnePiece, this is the great secret treasure I'm looking for!"

Chapter Fifty Gore D. Ace.

The Golden Jackson whistled loudly, letting the wind float its broken flagpole, the creaking planks shaking unceasingly, the soil beneath the hull beginning to loosen inexplicably, the whole ship just seemed to be propelled forward in the soil, cutting a long ravine.

Behind them, the door of the dimensional passage that had allowed them to advance this far was like an inflatable monster that suddenly swelled up, and spots of multicolored light were cast in the center of the door from nowhere, with layers and layers of light and shadow falling into Ace's eyes, as if they were woven into a magnificent spectacle of the deep starry sky. Spatial fluctuation, a dragon like thunderbolt lightning, suddenly appeared out of thin air, in an instant, black threads were like a terrifying spider web, pervading the sky and the earth, the swirling vortex closed the broken space pieces in one place, as if the calm surface of the water suddenly rippled, vibrating with a long buzzing sound.

"As I have said before, this is only a false world formed by my wish to die in Lavderu, and as long as I retain that idea, it will last forever, and now as you can see, it is crumbling because I don't want to die, and so this false world of Lavderu is being abandoned along with my dream. "

Laverdrew, the false Laverdrew, was falling into collapse, the crack stretching from sea level to endless void, and in this endless blackness only the banner of the Golden Jackson shone brilliantly, sleeping for dozens of years and awakening again, like a beacon illuminating a new world, proclaiming the end of those dim and heavy glories.

Visible and invisible, Morrowind, everything, along with the hull of the Golden Jackson, was falling apart, yet with this unparalleled conviction, he was still moving forward.

If the Golden Jackson had a human body, he would have been covered in blood by now, but he was still moving forward, and even if there was a puddle of blood, he would never hesitate for a moment.

"That's right, I don't want to die in Lavderu now!"

"Rather than slowly decaying here, I would rather fight to the last bit of my strength before my life ends to send you to that truly great place of secret treasures!"
