Extremely embarrassing!
Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man, stood frozen in place, unsure whether to raise or lower his clenched fist. He could only turn his gaze to Ace and say in a deep voice:
"Ace, is what he said true?"
Ace gave an embarrassed smile and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
This is just like a flood washing away the Dragon King Temple!
Ignoring Edward Newgate, whose white beard was so embarrassed he could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of his toes, Yang Ming walked up to Ace and said:
"Garp is currently imprisoned in the deep-sea prison. I hope you can rescue Garp."
Ace: “!!!”
The pirates: "???"
When I type a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, it's that you have a problem!
Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man, clenched his fists again as he loosened them, narrowed his eyes, and sized Yang Ming up and down. He said in a deep voice:
"Whether what you're saying is true or false, you're just trying to use Ace!"
"I will never stand by and watch my own child take such a risk!"
“Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and besides…” Yang Ming ignored Edward Newgate’s ugly expression and said, “Humans are creatures who can unleash extraordinary power for others.”
Chapter 262 Infinity Castle! Facing Whitebeard
The azure sea is as soft as silk, with ripples spreading across its surface. From above, it stretches out into a vast expanse of misty waves, seemingly without end.
Until a huge pirate ship sailed in from the horizon, breaking the tranquility of this sea.
At this moment, an old man and a young man are facing each other.
Edward Newgate, who had been sailing the seas for decades, could tell at a glance that Yang Ming intended to use Ace to rescue Garp. How could he agree to that?
Regardless of whether Ace can become a successor to the Whitebeard Pirates, as long as Ace is a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, Edward Newgate will not stand idly by and watch Ace be used by others!
This is a father's duty!
"boom!"
In the clash of invisible Conqueror's Haki, columns of water erupted on both sides of the Moby Dick, and white waves cascaded down, but no one paid any attention, only staring intently at the two people on the scene.
At this moment, Ace, one of the parties involved, saw that the tension between the two sides was escalating and that a fight might actually break out, so he suddenly stepped between them.
Ace, with his back to the white-bearded Edward Newgate, stared at Yang Ming's face, which was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Six years have passed, and Yang Ming is no longer the scavenger who just escaped from the garbage dump. He used to be so thin and short, but now he has a two-meter-tall, muscular physique with explosive power. It is obvious at a glance that he has not given up training and still trains hard.
Especially when he saw Yang Ming wearing the uniform of a Marine Headquarters Admiral, Ace was momentarily dazed, then gave a wry smile, spread his palms, and said:
"Yang Ming, I have imagined what it would be like if we met again someday."
"But now, I suddenly realize that I am a pirate and you are a marine. There is an insurmountable gap between us, and we can never go back to the innocent and romantic days of the past."
Yang Ming remained silent.
In fact, he had similar ideas before.
Friends who were once close will eventually drift further and further apart as they grow up.
They only ended up living under the same roof by chance, but as they went through different experiences and pursued their dreams, they were bound to go their separate ways and could no longer be close friends who could talk about anything.
Feeling annoyed, Yang Ming took the opportunity to check the system messages he had missed earlier.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from Demon Slayer. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to start the prize wheel?"
Yang Ming glanced at the lottery wheel when he had a moment to spare. The prizes were categorized into three types: summoning characters, blood demon techniques, and breathing techniques.
Summoned characters: Kibutsuji Muzan, Suzamaru, Hand Demon...
Blood Demon Arts: Blood Bewitchment, Line Prison, Eye-Killing Corpse ⒖ (This last part is a nonsensical string of characters and doesn't translate directly.)
Breathing techniques: Sun Breathing, Water Breathing, Flame Breathing...
【Infinite City】: Creates an alternate dimension castle. The size of the space is related to your mental strength. The stronger your mental strength, the wider the space of the alternate dimension castle and the better its stability. You can bring others into the alternate dimension castle.
Ace sighed almost imperceptibly, stared at Yang Ming, and said in a deep voice:
"Yang Ming, it's not that I don't trust you, but the old man is a renowned naval hero. No matter what, he shouldn't be imprisoned in the deep-sea prison. Are you sure this news is true?"
"The Mary Geoise incident".
Yang Ming's words immediately caused Edward Newgate's expression to change slightly.
The pirates, including Ace, seemed somewhat confused, clearly not quite understanding the situation.
"In that incident, Lee Sin of the Dark Night Pirates destroyed the Holy Land Mary Geoise. Due to the failure of the resistance by the Commander-in-Chief Kong, he was secretly executed by the Five Elders. Teacher Garp and Chief Instructor Zephyr went to the World Government to seek justice, but were defeated by the Five Elders and were subsequently imprisoned in Impel Down to this day."
This was truly a shocking revelation; the moment such confidential information was uttered, Ace and the others gasped in astonishment.
Edward Newgate, with his white beard, sometimes frowned, and sometimes relaxed.
Even with his decades of experience, he was still somewhat puzzled about what this young man was up to.
Logically speaking, such confidential information is subject to confidentiality agreements within the Navy, which strictly prohibit its dissemination. In fact, to cover up the truth, those who know about this history and related documents would be completely erased, just like the blank century of history back then.
"What does he want to do?"
Edward Newgate, with his white beard, stared at Yang Ming, feeling that the young man was shrouded in mystery, making him impossible to understand.
Ace lowered his head, his ten fingers sometimes clenching into fists and sometimes loosening, but the violent rise and fall of his chest had already betrayed his feelings at this moment.
Although Ace never said it outwardly, and never even used a respectful term to address Garp, he already regarded him as his closest family member. Now that Garp was imprisoned in the deep sea prison, how could he sit idly by?
If he could just pretend he didn't see it, he wouldn't be Ace!
Ace took a deep breath, turned around abruptly, and said in a slightly hoarse voice:
"Old...Dad."
Ace had only been a member of the Whitebeard Pirates for a short time and was still a little unaccustomed to being addressed as "Dad." If he weren't now under someone else's roof and had no choice but to bow his head, he would never have called out "Dad" so awkwardly.
"I'm going to temporarily leave the Whitebeard Pirates and go to Impel Down to rescue the old man."
As soon as Ace finished speaking, a palm the size of a fan descended from the sky, casting a large shadow, and an oppressive pressure followed.
"I! Will! Not! Allow!"
Edward Newgate's roar still echoed in Ace's ears. Just as Ace's nerves tensed up instinctively, preparing to fight back, the calloused, rough hand did not strike down as expected. Instead, it gently placed on Ace's head, giving the impression of much ado about nothing.
Feeling the warmth on his head, an unprecedented sense of security welled up within him, a feeling that, while unfamiliar to Ace, he also grew to like.
Looking down at Ace, Edward Newgate's crow's feet at the corners of his eyes smoothed out.
picture!
It’s so similar!
Like Roger back then, once he decides to do something, he will do it at all costs.
“Ace, this kid is just using you. Once you actually go to the Deep Sea Impel Down, who knows what might happen to you.”
Whitebeard's earnest teachings still echoed in his ears. Ace shook his head and said:
"No, actually Yang Ming wasn't using me."
“I believe that if he were in my shoes, he would also risk his life to rescue the old man from the deep-sea prison, instead of asking for help here.”
"Am I right, Yang Ming?"
With his last words, Ace turned to Yang Ming and asked.
While feeling a warmth in his heart, Yang Ming couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
In the process of climbing to the pinnacle of power and realizing his dreams over the years, he seems to have discarded some precious things.
Yang Ming had no reply and could only nod silently.
Edward Newgate, with his white beard, looked left at Yang Ming and right at Ace, sighing inwardly as if he had seen his own cabbage being eaten by someone else's pig.
"I still won't allow what you're doing unless this kid can defeat me!"
Taking a massive weapon from Marco, the white-bearded Edward Newgate swung a circle of Murakumogiri, one of the world's most famous Supreme Grade Swords. With just a casual swing, a gust of wind as sharp as a blade swept out.
The Murakumogiri is over twenty meters long. Its blade is made from millennia-old cold iron and was forged by a master craftsman from Wano Country over eighty-one days. When the blade was completed, strange phenomena occurred, including a blade beam that shot straight into the sky and cut a cloud in two, hence the name Murakumogiri.
The sheer weight of the Murakumogiri, weighing over a ton, would be enough to crush an ordinary person's spine. Let alone getting up to fight, even being able to lift it would be a huge problem.
But this weapon, so heavy, was as light as a feather in the hands of Edward Newgate, who could swing it around with ease.
At first glance, he doesn't look like a seventy-year-old man suffering from a serious illness at all, but rather a valiant hero with lofty ambitions.
The moment Edward Newgate made his request, Eston's face turned ashen.
Defeating the world's strongest man?
Either I'm dreaming, or my dad is making things difficult for me!
Not long ago, Ace challenged Edward Newgate, the Whitebeard Pirates. Only by facing the Whitebeard Pirates head-on can one truly understand the gap between the Supernovas and the Four Emperors.
If we were to say that a pirate who can become a supernova is in the sky and a weak pirate in the East Blue is on the ground, then one is in the heavens and the other is on the ground.
The gap between the Four Emperors and the Supernovas is even more exaggerated than that, equivalent to one flying in outer space while the other is still running on the ground.
Therefore, Ace was already mentally prepared for Yang Ming's rejection and began to consider his plan to sneak out at night.
Unexpectedly, Yang Ming followed Edward Newgate's lead and said:
"Whitebeard, if I defeat you, you'll allow Ace to go to Impel Down to rescue people, right?"
"Then I would be disrespectful."
Upon hearing this, Edward Newgate, the man with the white beard, paused in his actions.
Even Ace, Marco, Diamond Jozu, and the others turned around in surprise.
"Goo la la la la!"
Finally, Edward Newgate's hearty laughter broke the silence. He swung his Murakumogiri sword, its sharp tip pointing directly at Yang Ming, and said:
"Should I say you're just a young calf that's not afraid of tigers, or that you're young and reckless, not knowing the immensity of the world?"
