Pirate: I am King Luffy

Just as Ace and Sabo were about to act, they still shouted something.

Then a gunshot was heard.

The two pirates had their heads shot out, and the bullets went through their eye sockets, leaving a trace of fire before slowly disappearing.

"You drew your gun so quickly..." Sabo was surprised.

The two adults fell to the ground.

"Uncle bandit, step aside first, this is a small chat theater for children."

Luffy tapped the bandit on the waist with the hot barrel.

The latter shuddered and ran to the side in a hurry.

"Yes, Lord Luffy, please let me know if you have any instructions..." His legs felt a little weak.

……

"The problem has been solved for now. Now let's get back to the previous question. Ace, you are jealous of me, right? Why?"

"From the very first moment we met, you smelled of jealousy."

"The life I have, you can have too."

"Heh...it's just your illusion. Go back, Sabo." Ace turned and was about to leave.

Luffy had no choice but to fire a shot, which hit the open ground.

As the gunshots rang out, Ace stopped and looked at the green smoke next to his feet.

"If you were any other stranger, you would be free to make whatever choices you wanted.

But you are the child that grandpa cares about, so I need to care about the choices you make. This is what family and friends are about."

“When faced with problems and troubles that need to be solved, you should first ask why.”

"So, why do you want to be a pirate?"

Luffy said, looking towards Sabo.

When facing this kind of kid who values ​​friendship and loyalty, you have to be ruthless and strike hard at the things he values ​​and threaten his relatives and friends!

Jie Jie Jie...

Luffy pointed his gun at Sabo.

"The bandits don't dare to resist Garp, so is it him? You have known him for a long time, a strange child? He advised you to become a pirate."

"I'm a very good shooter, so I'll end your life quickly."

"No pain."

In fact, things like flintlock rifles are like that no matter how good your marksmanship is. The real reason why it always hits the target is that Luffy stuffed weapons into the barrel and added some weapons into the bullet.

The bullets fired in this way will not deviate in trajectory or slip due to various influences.

That's how it is: you can hit whatever you point at.

Although he practiced more physical skills and swordsmanship, his weapon with the strongest attack power was still the musket.

Relying on bullets, Luffy can shoot Gatling's rate of fire with a pistol and empty the magazine in an instant.

Seeing Luffy pointing the gun at Sabo, Ace suddenly became anxious.

I don’t mind beating myself to death, but I can’t hurt my friends.

Ace stood in front of Sabo in an instant.

"You bastard, come at me if you dare!"

"So, answer my question, why do you want to be a pirate?"

Very good, he started to get anxious, and the atmosphere was surrounded by kids of the same age.

Just speak your mind like this.

"Uh...he is the Pirate King's child. Isn't it normal for him to be a pirate?" asked Uta.

"So Ace became a pirate because he worshipped the Pirate King?" Luffy said.

"Who would worship that bastard..." Ace cut.

"Captain Roger is a very nice person, Shanks said, and there is always laughter and joy on the ship." Uta blinked.

"What does that have to do with me?" When Ace mentioned that man, anger burned in his chest.

"Why would that bastard leave all the pain to me and die laughing?

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! "

Ace clenched his fists, releasing his anger and hatred towards Roger without reservation.

"You will never understand the pain I carry. The blood of the Pirate King runs through my body.

I was born... to be hated. How can you, who is so happy and bathed in the halo of your heroic grandfather, understand?"

Ace starts to explode.

"What Pirate King? I will destroy all his efforts. I want to become the Pirate King and announce to everyone that [ONE PIECE] does not exist!"

Tears welled up in my eyes.

"Born with original sin? It's a very interesting setting. You love Roger very deeply. You are worthy of being the son of the Pirate King."

Luffy added fuel to the fire.

"What do you mean by deeply in love? Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Ace became even angrier.

"I want to be the Pirate King out of hatred!"

He repeatedly emphasized his starting point.

"Then why do you have to become a pirate and the Pirate King just because you hate it?"

Luffy continued to ask why.

Ace snorted.

"Is there anywhere else I can go?"

"People like me..."

He remembered the heavy and dark thing, and a huge pressure came over him, forcing him to his knees.

Ace lowered his head, looking at the vibrant land beneath his feet, where ants were running back and forth tirelessly.

It’s so nice for them to live in this world without any worries.

"My mother... Portgas D. Luju. I have never seen her, but my grandfather said that she has long pink hair and is a very beautiful woman..."

107. Chapter 107 All You Need to Do Is Escape

107.

2023-08-08

The man with wealth, fame, power, and everything in the world, "Pirate King" Gol D. Roger, said something before he was executed, causing people all over the world to rush to the sea.

"Do you want my treasure? If you want it, go to the sea and find it. I will leave it all there."

The world begins to welcome the advent of the "Great Age of Pirates".

As the number of pirates increased dramatically around the world, ordinary people who were mediocre and had no ambition were also drawn into this catastrophe.

Pain, wailing, hatred.

These people cursed the pirates who destroyed their peaceful lives with all their might.

Cursing the dead Pirate King, and any possible existing Pirate King's flesh and blood.

After Roger's death, the furious World Government cleared out all traces of Roger and wanted to kill his bloodline.

The government ordered the navy to search for all possible pregnant women, searching for women who were about to give birth during that period of time.

In order to prevent the World Government from discovering that Ace is the son of Pirate King Roger, Luju used various methods and tried her best to greatly delay Ace's date of birth.

One year and three months after the death of Pirate King Roger, she gave birth to Ace on Baterila Island, and died of exhaustion after giving birth to Ace.

At the same time, the Navy will eliminate all suspicious pregnant women in the name of the World Government.

"My birth... is pure sin. This world has caused countless people to die just to welcome my arrival..."

His fists weakly supported his body, and his tears dripped onto the grass.

"People like me... shouldn't have appeared in this world in the first place..."

Ace cried out the pressure in his heart.

“Where on earth should I go except to become a pirate?

Can someone like me live in the world as an ordinary person...as if nothing happened?

Hey! Grandson of the hero! Tell me! Tell me! "

He cried and yelled at Luffy.

Sabo stared at Ace blankly. Is this the reason why Ace wanted to become a pirate?

Uta's rabbit ears drooped down. All along, she had been listening to Shanks telling stories of wonderful adventures and one legend after another on the sea.

This made her feel that Roger was a very remarkable pirate.

But at this moment, fragments appeared on the beautiful filter and shattered to the ground with a snap.

Uta is a person with strong empathy, and she clearly felt Ace's pain.

All of a sudden, my attitude towards this older child changed.

"You live very hard..." she said softly.

"Ace is a very kind person." Luffy put away his musket.

The somewhat vague memory of the plot became clearer after Ace's narration.

The world of pirates is not a world of black and white. The plot touts the pirates' stories of freedom while quietly saying that pirates are a group of sinister and cunning villains.

The sailors wearing the cloak of justice will also obey orders and do things that are obviously not just.

Ordinary people who look ordinary and weak will also kill the righteous navy for money.

Because of the Ace incident, some people on the Internet also said: The biggest villain in One Piece is Garp. In order to save Roger's son, he indirectly killed thousands of pregnant women. It was simply a birth within a birth.

Ai Mazi was born a sinner, a devil born at the cost of the lives of thousands of pregnant women and babies.

……

Justice, kindness, evil... these words are too much labels, as if attaching these labels will reflect a person's complex life.

They are all unimportant things to Luffy.

Even in ordinary society without demons, some ridiculous things happen.

In the late 19th century, America passed something called the Ugly Law, which designated the sick, disabled, and people of color as “crippled creatures” and prohibited “street begging,” while also declaring that “certain persons shall not appear in the streets or in public places…

Civilization, kindness, justice, and evil are all one-sided and labeled things. They are class-based and will change as people's positions change.

Talking about these things is as ridiculous as discussing whether Xi Fei is a national hero, whether his heroic title should be removed from the shelves, and whether it will undermine national integration.

What is honey to others may be poison to me. There is no solution to this problem.

Strength is the only right thing.

People without power are destined to spend their lives in pain and powerlessness.

"Ace is a very kind person." He said.

"It is because of kindness that we cannot face the original sin we carry. It is because of kindness that we feel suffocated.

In that case, don't be a pirate. That will hurt the few people who care about you."
