"Do you want to know my answer? Then I will point you in the direction, in the name of the king."

Luffy stood in front of Ace.

The mottled sunlight shines through the leaves and onto the boy's naked upper body.

Because of the light, the children's good eyesight can see the suspended particles floating in the air, those dust-like things, surrounding him like stars.

"Just need to escape."

The boy said this with a gentle smile on his face.

"Escape from those heavy burdens. Those pregnant women were not killed by you. It was planned by the World Government and carried out by the Navy. It has nothing to do with you."

"You have never enjoyed all the resources and treatment that your father, the Pirate King, has given you. You survived by relying on my grandfather, Garp. Your father's sin has nothing to do with you. You are a victim, born by his capriciousness and abandoned in this world."

"You must remember your mother. She worked very hard to bring you into this world. She must love you very much and hopes that you can live happily in this world."

"All you have to do is run away. Running away is not losing, it's winning."

“Look at what you have now instead of dwelling on the past and the future. We are short-sighted people who live in the present.”

"If you don't do this, the only things you have now will be thrown on the ground, and you will cry when you think about it in the future. That would be too sad."

"Finally... I want to tell you why you must do this:"

The armed color domineering is like a surging tide, gathering in the fist.

Luffy raised his right arm, and his whole body seemed to radiate an invisible power. From his naked upper body, one could see that Luffy was muscular.

The temperature rises, the flames burst out, and it burns fiercely.

He pushed Ace to the ground with his left hand and pressed his chest, then raised his right hand high, and his crimson fist brushed Ace's neck and slammed into the ground.

Everyone clearly felt the ground shake, and Luffy's fist dug deep into the ground.

Everyone believed that as long as he really hit Ace, he would be able to punch through him.

"You don't have the strength to resist me, this is the real original sin."

"Strength is the reason to become a king!"

"Choose: be brave and give up embracing the world and die; or live with my mother's love and watch my future self tear apart the world Roger created—"

Luffy pressed Ace's chest and slowly pulled his right hand out of the ground.

Because of the weapon, there was not even a speck of dust on the fist.

From the depths of his tear-filled eyes, Ace gazed upon the dancing flames.

“Ahhh——” tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

"Mother……"

The rest of the people held their breath, waiting for Ace's choice.

"I still have... a reason to live. Can you do it, Luffy? Tear up the world created by Roger!"

"Ok!"

Luffy stood up.

"Just leave all the responsibility to me, because Ace is a powerless person. Just run away. If anyone wants to blame you, let them come to me. I ordered you to live like this. You have done nothing wrong."

"Damn it...what nonsense are you talking about? I'm three years older than you. I won't run away!"

Ace...wails loudly.

Is the problem solved? I think it is.

Even if the problem is not solved, it’s none of my business. I have tried my best. I can’t really kill him with one punch.

"Come with me to Windmill Village. There are very nice people there. If you want to visit Dadan, you can go up the mountain to find her. Dadan can also live in Windmill Village. The village chief will not refuse."

Luffy invited.

"Yeah..." Ace nodded while sobbing.

"That's great." Uta smiled happily, "It's a happy ending."

"It's not good enough." Luffy said.

"Ace needs to apologize properly for the bad things he did before."

"Is it... about stealing the pirates' treasure? But, even if I exchange the treasure back, I won't be forgiven..." Ace asked.

"I hid my treasure in the tree."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Pirates can't take care of their treasures, and they deserve it. They are third-rate stupid pirates." Uta said.

"Indeed, what we need to deal with is just to completely eliminate the so-called Sapphire Pirates."

"Take those treasures home with you as a thank you gift to Dadan for taking you in, or as rent for disturbing the residents of Windmill Village."

"As for that pirate group, just tell grandpa." Luffy said.

He was too lazy to go to places like the Uncertainty Terminal.

The affairs of the Celestial Dragons are not something for children to think about; that is something for adults to consider.

My father is also near the Kingdom of Goa now, right?

After all, it is a earth-shattering event that the Celestial Dragons are traveling.

Luffy was too lazy to continue thinking and walked back.

"Please take me with you. My name is Sabo. I'm a runaway. Ace and I have been friends for five years."

Sabo said as he followed them.

"welcome……"

Uta said.

She glanced at Sabo, then at Ace, and finally moved to Luffy.

The purple eyes have a curiosity to explore everything.

"Who are Luffy's father and mother? I've never heard you mention them. Didn't grandpa tell you?"

"I don't know. Grandpa never told me these things, and I never asked."

Luffy had a soft smile on his face.

A boy who only has his grandfather to protect him and lives alone in this world - this kind of character is really cool.

Even if you do something small and act willfully occasionally, no one will blame you.

Personality is a very important thing.

"Yeah?……"

There were ripples in Uta's eyes. Luffy is a gentle and strong boy. It's not a big deal if he is a little bit bad.

She recalled her first meeting with Luffy.

The boy held my wrist tightly and pushed me to the ground...

But...Uta has quietly taken revenge, and Luffy doesn't know it yet. Luffy is a fool who is immersed in Uta's world every day. He doesn't know that in his spare time, he is commanded by Uta to work all day long and serves as Uta's vehicle~

laugh……

"Luffy, I'm tired..."

"I'll carry you away. You can tell me this earlier."

Luffy put his hands between the girl's buttocks and back and lifted Uta up.

"This posture..." Uta had to hook his hands around Luffy's neck, his face feeling a little hot.

I just wanted Luffy to carry me on his back, but I ended up getting carried...

Without Uta to slow them down, the group's mobility increased.

Ace was on the tree and gave half of the treasure to Sabo. He no longer wanted to be a pirate, but Sabo's dream was still to go to sea, and these treasures were the result of the joint efforts of both of them.

Garp stood on a tall tree, with tears in his eyes, staring at the little devils walking to where the bandit Dadan was.

"Ace, there are some things... Grandpa doesn't know how to do them either. I'm just clumsy and evasive, choosing an option that's easy at the moment..."

Because I heard the gunshots and sensed that they came from Luffy's location.

Cap was a little worried and came running over.

Overheard the children's conversation.

In prison, Roger persuaded him to help hide the truth about Portgas D. Rouge, saying that unborn children are innocent.

The government is powerful. They found out where Roger was when he disappeared for a year after becoming the Pirate King.

He also vaguely knew that someone had helped Roger.

The world government, which possesses supreme power, arrested and executed all suspicious pregnant women without hesitation. This was a threat to him and his secret helpers.

Hand over the real mother and child, or let [us] kill all the suspicious pregnant women.

This is what the world government decides.

One mother and child died to save tens of thousands of other pairs.

It's a good deal no matter how you look at it.

But Cap didn't know how to choose.

He chose silence.

Silence was the answer.

So... during that period, within that range, those pregnant women who were likely to be pregnant were killed.

Karp looked at the newborn baby in his arms.

The new life made him happy, and the child was a future with all possibilities, but watching this child for a long time became a painful thing.

So he gave Ace to the bandits to raise.

I just look after each other occasionally.

This is a painful world, and everyone carries the original sin of powerlessness.

"Dadan, I'm going to live in Windmill Village. This is the treasure I have accumulated..." Ace grabbed a handful of jewels and said to the bandit.

"Give me these things sooner, idiot! Get out of here! I'm finally free!"

Dadan glanced at Luffy, grabbed the jewels and cursed.

"Well, I'm leaving. I'll come to see you often."

Ace waved to the bandits.

"That bastard..." The slightly fat female bandit cried as she lit five cigarettes and held them between her thick lips.

"Don't cause trouble for others..." She said with tears in her eyes.

"It's really that serious, Boss. Windmill Village is quite close."

"Asshole, we are bandits, how can we go to the village every day and disturb others!"

"Grandpa, Ace and I live together in Windmill Village." Luffy said to Garp.

Cap, who came back early, hummed.

"Oh, by the way, Grandpa, there's a group called the Sapphire Pirates who want to kill me. I'm a little scared. I heard they're a pirate group that serves the nobles of the Kingdom of Goa..."
