"Changing the world or being a pirate, which one do you choose?"
Ace was silent.
Once upon a time, he fantasized about being like the man in front of him, wearing a cloak of justice, admired by thousands of people, and then doing what he believed to be just and right.
He once deeply admired the other person and had heard his mother tell stories about the other person countless times.
But as time passed, everything changed.
"Navy dream?"
"It's already broken!"
Ace shook his head and smiled.
"Dad is very good to me."
"Marco, Joz, Vista and the others are also my good brothers!"
"If you think that's just a boring game of house, then think of it that way!"
After a pause, he said seriously.
“But for me, this is the home I’m looking for!”
Hearing this, Xia Le was stunned at first, and then he actually laughed.
"The most difficult thing for a person is to know what he really wants."
Slowly standing up, he turned around and looked at the sea ahead.
"Ace!"
“Always remember that anger makes you stupid.”
"When anyone ridicules or scolds you, you must thoroughly investigate the meaning behind his actions!"
These words left Ace stunned.
In a trance, the man who once held him and brought him up to the sky and felt him being lifted up high was standing before him again.
At that time, the other party was just like now, teaching him the principles of life and telling him what he could do and what he could not do.
For a moment, Ace's expression softened a little.
"If there is anyone in this world who makes a mistake, I can tolerate it."
"It's just you, Ace!"
Ace's heart trembled when he heard the sigh, and he looked up suddenly.
"Even though you are a pirate, even though you still hate me, let me catch you myself."
"I can't do this kind of thing!"
There was a touch of gentleness in the last words.
"But you have to be careful, Marshall Teach is a man with deep scheming!"
"His power may be beyond your imagination!"
"If you insist on catching him, the result may be beyond your expectations!"
Xia Le turned around with a serious look on his face.
He knew very well that if the other party still insisted on capturing Marshall Teach, the final result would be that he would be handed over to the Navy as a bargaining chip, and eventually trigger the Battle of Marineford.
"Tikki!!"
Hearing the name, Ace gritted his teeth again and clenched his fists.
When Xia Le saw this scene, he sighed and shook his head.
Obviously, a person's character cannot be changed in a short period of time.
The future may already be determined.
"Also, there is one more thing."
At the sound of the voice, Ace raised his head and looked at the man in front of him.
Compared with his memory, the other party has hardly changed at all and is still as young as before, which also makes him confused.
“Remember this!”
"No matter when, no matter how long it takes!"
"I will always be your Uncle Xia Le!"
Xia Le said this with a smile on his face.
The freckled man in front of him also merged into one with the child in his arms at this moment.
Ace's body trembled, and his nose suddenly felt sore for some reason.
The next second, he took a few steps forward and hugged the man in front of him tightly.
"Thank you!"
Xia Le was stunned for a moment, then smiled and patted the other person on the back.
"Now, I can't lift you up any higher!"
Hearing this, Ace couldn't help but laugh.
"Then it would be too embarrassing for me, the great Fire Fist Ace!"
Xia Le chuckled and suddenly threw out another sentence.
"If you're in the Navy."
"I can tell you something that may be important to you."
Ace was a little curious and asked with a smile: "What's the matter? You want me to follow you as a marine?"
"A man named Sabo!"
Xia Le smiled.
"what?!"
Chapter 199 Naval Trainee
"Sabo!?"
"He's still alive?"
Words filled with disbelief came out of Ace's mouth, and his eyes were fixed on the man in front of him.
He couldn't even judge the truth of what the other person said, because if it was true, it would be too terrible.
This undoubtedly means that this man understands him very well and is even very clear about everything between the three brothers.
"As I said, the answer to this question depends on your choice!"
"From this moment on, by becoming a marine, you will get the answer to whether your good brother, Sabo, is alive or not."
Xia Le shook his head and said with a smile.
His eyes fell on Ace, and he could clearly see the changing colors on his face.
Apparently, Sabo's question made the man in front of him hesitate.
"Sabo died a long time ago. How did you get any news about him?"
Taking a deep breath, Ace questioned with a serious expression.
He once saw with his own eyes that his good brother died in the bombardment and was buried in the raging fire.
But when faced with this question, the other party did not answer. Instead, he just looked at him with a smile, which made him feel even more solemn.
Difficulty, is Sabo really still alive?
"The choice is yours, Ace!"
"All I can do is give you one more option on your already destined future path!"
Xia Le sighed softly.
Hearing this, Ace was silent at first, then he laughed: "When did you become like those charlatans and start to believe in fate?"
Xia Le smiled slightly and stared at the other party: "You are right!"
"I don't believe in fate, even if there is such a thing."
"I have gone through so much hardship to gain this power, just to break it!"
After a pause, he spoke softly, his voice was vague.
"Then consider these the options I listed for you!"
Ace fell silent. It was a simple choice, but it made him hesitate.
"I need time!"
Finally, the freckled-faced man sighed.
Asking him to make such a choice in a short period of time is simply putting him in a difficult position.
He had to choose between the clues to his sworn brotherhood and the path of the future, which made him feel very difficult.
Xia Le nodded slightly.
Over the next two days, Ace seemed to be trying to assimilate into the life of the Navy, but he did not personally commit to joining the Navy.
After a brief exchange with Kuina, he realized how powerful and terrifying this female swordsman was.
With just his swordsmanship and domineering aura, he seems to be able to firmly suppress him, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' second division.
Then, Ace asked Smoker and Buggy for advice.
The two of them also possessed powerful domineering abilities, which made Ace realize one thing more clearly.
"His subordinates all seem to place great importance on the practice of domineering!"
“And this may be the reason why he stands at the top of the world.”
Ace's eyes flickered.
After obtaining the Flame-Flame Fruit, he became immersed in the power of this fruit, which allowed him to grow stronger quickly and possess terrifying destructive power and range.
As a result, the practice of domineering power is neglected.
Staring at Xia Le in front of him, Ace showed a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
During these two days, the other party seemed to have taught him nothing, but what he learned were extremely valuable principles that would even affect his life and the direction of becoming stronger.
"I want to know the news about Saab."
"Please tell me, is he still alive?"
After a slight hesitation, Ace walked forward and respectfully asked the tall man with his back to him.
"Oh? You want to join the Navy?"
Xia Le asked calmly.
"I don't want to deceive you."
"For now, I have no intention of joining the navy. At least, I cannot join your army before I capture Teach."
"So, can you tell me the news about Sabo?"
"I just want to know, is he alive or dead?"
Ace said solemnly.
"You're really giving me a hard time, Ace!"
Xia Le suddenly sighed, turned around and stared at the man in front of him.
"I am pleased with your honesty."
"But I am a man who values deals. Sabo's message is the deal between you and me."
