Chapter 187 Ace's Decision
"Uncle Wright! You are the Navy!"
Ace's words revealed shock and doubt - the Navy is the largest armed force controlled by the world!
"Yes, I'm the Navy. But who are the vast majority of the Navy?"
Wright smiled slightly: "He is a person who is determined to be justice. Even the scum in the navy, most of them have a passion when they first joined the navy, in the name of justice!"
"But the current navy is far from being the embodiment of justice - its function is to maintain stability!"
"Preserving the rule of the world and the dragon people, fighting the instability factors, and eliminating the world's enemies - maintaining justice is just a small proportion of the navy's responsibilities."
"Many navies have discovered that what they do is not just... and some things are even contrary to justice!"
"So they are confused, confused, or degenerate-they have no face to face reality and are powerless to change the status quo."
In Ace's gaze that seemed to have realized something, Wright opened his arms and showed a bright smile - as if he wanted to embrace the world:
"Ace! Don't you think it's really great to put the navy in a way and become the embodiment of justice?"
"If the world is peaceful, Pirates will have no soil for existence. If people know the truth of the world, how will they evaluate One Piece and this era?!"
"you……"
Ace only felt that the figure in front of him was even more majestic, more wanton, and more... bright at this moment!
It's great that Uncle Wright can tell him this.
It's really great to have someone care about you and teach you.
"Uncle Wright, you said so..."
Ace also stood up, and the breeze from Mount Colepo made his dark hair flutter.
"I seem to...can't hate that guy from Dad."
"Hate or not hate is not something that happens overnight, Ace."
Wright patted Ace on the shoulder: "But you have enough time to think before you formally decide your life."
"Roger is a complicated person, but he is him, you are you."
"If you can't sort out your feelings for him, then live with your own name and use the perspective of a bystander to judge Roger and this era!"
"I see……"
Ace took a deep breath: "Uncle Wright, I want to be a pirate, on the one hand because pirates are the freest person in the world."
"I am bound by the identity of the 'Son of One Piece' and yearn for freedom."
"Dadan and the others have said bad things about the Navy, such as how grandpa threatened them to accept Luffy and me..."
"But actually, I also thought of becoming a navy like my grandfather."
Wright raised his eyebrows: "Did you ever want to be a navy?"
"What grandpa has been saying since he was a child, how could he never think about it..."
Ace smiled bitterly: "Especially, I hate my father who is 'One Piece', joining the navy, eliminating the pirates, and ending the era of great pirates he started with himself. It seems good."
"Although the navy is not as free as the pirates, at least people will not hear the navy's name and be as scared as they hear the pirates."
"As long as my grandfather can guarantee that if my identity is known by the Navy, I will not arrest me directly..."
Ace laughed twice and was silent for a moment.
"But, Sabo's incident... made me completely extinguish this idea."
"Dadan said that it was this country and this world that ruined Saab."
"The Dragon Man destroyed Sabo's ship. In our opinion at that time, Sabo was already dead!"
"And the Navy wants to protect the Tianlong people - let me become the Navy and then protect those guys? How is that possible!"
"So, I can only become a pirate! Only by becoming a pirate who surpasses One Piece can I affirm the meaning of my existence!"
Ace looked up at Wright: "But what you told me...whether it is the secret of One Piece or the secret of the Navy, your will..."
"I found that I'm not so persistent about becoming a pirate."
"Stupid brat!"
Wright gave Ace a head break, who screamed in pain.
"Why, I want to follow my uncle? I'm so squeamish... I was so awkward because of my awkwardness that my grandfather was beaten into the navy!"
No, Uncle Wright, are you boasting or demoting yourself?
Ace smiled and said, "I haven't decided yet...I want to take some time to think clearly. However, you can't tell grandpa about this!"
"Well, tell Old Man Karp that he will arrest you tomorrow and stuff you into the Naval School."
Wright curled his lips: "However, my current status is not enough. Even if you have your grandfather, even if the old man in the Warring States Period helps with it... he cannot guarantee that your identity will not cause trouble in the Navy."
"I need to go further to gather the power of me, your grandpa, the old man in the Warring States Period, so that the world will not take compulsory measures because of your identity leak."
"So sure enough, my identity is still a big trouble!"
Ace said helplessly: "Or why should I go out to sea first and become an adventurer? As long as you don't hang the pirate flag, don't do bad things, and don't offer any rewards, you can last until you become...a general, right?"
"Hey! Look, your brain is very useful, Ace!"
Wright was quite surprised - although he had said so much before, he really wanted to pull Az into the naval camp, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good - this kid has already started to use his brain!
Ace, Sabo, Luffy, these three brothers... Navy, Revolutionary Army, Pirates?
It's really... great!
but……
"Ace, at your age, it's easy to make impulsive choices because of some things - have you made an appointment to go to sea at the age of 17?"
Wright knocked Ace on the head: "It's just two years left, and you'll think about it carefully in the past two years."
"If you still think so after going to sea, then as you said, don't hang the pirate flag, be an adventurer first, wait for my uncle to go further and pick you up into the navy in person!"
"If you change your mind, you still want to be a pirate..."
Wright raised his lips: "So when we meet again, we will be enemies. Even if we call me uncle, I will not show mercy?"
Ace: "Uncle Wright... are you sure you are not threatening me!"
The previous course on Burning Fruit was to increase the chance of survival when Ace was still a pirate - whether it wasn't caught by Blackbeard or killed by Sakaski!
But if you become a navy... will there be "fire fist" Ace? When did the roasted fruit appear?
Shaking his head, Wright no longer thought about this - it was better to roast fruit, even if not, Ace is still Ace, that's enough.
"Senior Brother--"
From afar, Guina's voice came and Luffy's shout: "Magino is really! I've grown up! I want to drink too!"
"No! Children can only drink juice! Aunt Maginot knows that you are not honest, but you gave it to me!"
"...They are quite fast!"
Wright patted Ace: "Let's go, go back to the mountain - Old Man Cap is probably anxious to wait."
"Don't think too much, have a good meal today - do you want to try Maginot's good wine? I've never been afraid of anyone when I was as old as you!"
"Uncle Wright, I've drunk it!"
