Pirates: Improving your strength depends entirely on watching the fun!

The events of the past few days kept circling in his mind.

In the Battle of Marineford, the Whitebeard Group paid a huge price to save themselves, even their father died.

Ace suddenly woke up, jumped out of bed and was about to run out.

"Are you planning to kill the people here too?" A figure blocked Ace and pushed him back.

Ace took a few steps back, looked at the tall figure in front of him, and shouted, "Get out of the way, I want to go to the White Group, I want to see my father."

"Ace, sit back down, I want to tell you something."

"I said get out of the way."

Poof! Just as Ace finished his words, he felt a pain in his stomach as if he had been punched by someone.

"You are still so reckless. After killing Whitebeard, are you planning to kill me again?" Xia Zheteng retracted his fist and watched Ace sit down on the ground weakly.

He hadn't eaten or drunk anything for three days, so of course he couldn't hold on any longer.

"Damn it." Ace stood up and was about to use his fruit ability, but then his face changed.

"What about my abilities?"

"It has been drained away, and I have announced to the public that Ace died due to his severe injuries and failed rescue efforts."

"What?" Ace looked at Xia Zheteng who was speaking, his expression uncertain. He said he was dead? What was going on?

"It's just a statement, but I guess not many people will believe it for now. But it doesn't matter. When people find the Flame-Flame Fruit, they will all believe that the previous Ace is really dead."

Ace narrowed his eyes and looked at Xia Zheteng: "What do you mean?"

"Sit down, I told you, I have a lot to tell you."

Ace then sat down. He knew that it was unrealistic for him to leave, so he could only listen to what Xia Zheteng said.

The big guy who was blocking the door just now also walked in and took off his mask.

It turned out to be a fishman. Ace took a look at the other person and obviously didn't know him.

"I don't think you know him, but you must have heard of his name. He is the hero of the fishmen, Tiger."

"What?" Ace had indeed heard of Tiger, and met him through Jinbe.

To Jinbe, Tiger is the hero of the fishmen and all the freed slaves.

His story of climbing up the Red Earth Continent alone and rescuing slaves became widely known.

"You are Tiger."

"it's me."

"Aren't you dead?"

"As you can see, no, I am just hiding my identity and doing what I should do."

Tiger just smiled. Xia Zheteng asked him to come so that Ace could at least have someone to learn from, instead of having no goal in the end.

"Okay, let me explain the situation."

After Xia Zheteng asked Ace to sit down, he introduced Xia's situation and then talked about Roger.

At Roger's execution ground, he finally chose to compromise for an uncertain possibility, and Xia Zheteng also kept this promise.

"That was a last resort that a father prepared for his child. I don't think Roger would have thought that this last resort would actually be successful one day."

Ace narrowed his eyes and said nothing more.

He hated Roger, but later he heard a lot about Roger, so this hatred was more of a mixture of love and hate than pure hatred.

"But what does this have to do with me?"

"It doesn't matter whether you think it's related or not. What matters is, what are you going to do next?"

"This will go back to the White Group."

"The Whitebeard Group no longer exists." Xia Zheteng sighed, "Whitebeard, as a pioneer of the new generation, has completed his mission, but you still don't understand what you should do?"

Ace frowned, he was also a little confused now.

At the beginning, he wanted to become the Pirate King himself. To achieve this goal, he kept taking on challenges and even wanted to challenge Whitebeard.

Later, he was impressed by Whitebeard and wanted to help Whitebeard become the strongest in the world and let him ascend the throne, but now Whitebeard is also dead.

So what should I do?

"Ace, even if you return to the White Group now, what can you do? Or how are you going to face the looks of the other members of the White Group? After all, many people died in Marinford to save you."

Ace didn't say anything, just sat there quietly.

"Stay here and observe life here. Live here as an ordinary person for a while and see how people here live their lives. When you figure it out, come find me."

Xia Zheteng stood up. It would take some time for Ace to form combat effectiveness.

Ace narrowed his eyes as he watched Xia Zheteng and Tiger leave.

Then he quickly packed up and prepared to leave.

However, just as he was about to take action, he was stopped by a woman who pushed the door open.

"and who are you?"

"My name is Tian Yueshi. Of course, you may not have heard of this name."

"No, I've heard of it. I've been to Wano Country. But, shouldn't you be dead, fighting with Oden?"

Tian Yueshi laughed and said, "Indeed, according to the rumors, I am dead, but in fact, I am still alive and helping Xia to build the country he most wants to build."

"why?"

"Then you have to see it with your own eyes. Come with me and I will take you to see the people of this country."

Tianyueshi turned and walked out. Finally, after thinking for a while, Ace followed behind.

……

At the Navy Headquarters, Sengoku received intelligence and Xia issued a statement that Ace's injuries were too severe to be rescued.

"Don't worry about it. Maybe it's just their plan. Ace is not that easy to kill. If we don't kill him this time, it will be difficult in the future."

Sengoku was also helpless because Marinford was almost destroyed and it had lost the possibility of being used as the naval headquarters.

There is one more important thing. In this battle, he finally realized that the era that belonged to them was coming to an end, and next, a new era would begin.

Maybe he should retire, Zhan Guo had the idea of ​​retiring. After retiring, he should give way to young people. This is what he should do.

Of course, outsiders don’t know that he has already had such an idea, and the navy is still cleaning up the mess.

On the other side, Whitebeard's tomb was also built, and Marco and other members of the Whitebeard Group stood in front of the tomb and shed tears.

Chapter 333: Meeting Luffy

Xia Zheteng and Tiger came to the waters of Nine Snake Island in the doldrums.

"Will that guy really figure it out?"

"Yes, and after meeting Lu Yadi and the others, he will definitely figure it out. He is an important fighting force."

Xia Zheteng laughed.

"Indeed, he is a young and active guy. If we want to expand overseas, this is the best choice."

"The problem is what's going to happen next with the West Sea Empire. The Celestial Dragons should be here soon."

"In terms of time, it is indeed almost time to collect the gold from heaven."

"So, Xia has a big operation in the West Sea to stop them from thinking about coming to the West Sea again." Xia Zheteng narrowed his eyes. This time, although he didn't know who was going to the West Sea, he had to make sure they never came back.

Tiger said "oh" but didn't respond.

The boat has entered the doldrums, where large sea kings may appear at any time. However, with Xia Zheteng's ability to listen to the sounds of all things and Tiger's ability to move in the water, there is no problem at all.

It was not until they arrived at the uninhabited island that Xia Zheteng and Tiger went ashore.

Tiger still had his face covered, and only Xia Zheteng was now just wearing a cloak.

He had already revealed his identity, so there was no need to hide anymore.

Luo was also fishing on the side of the island. They were also surprised to see a small boat coming.

It is unimaginable that a small boat can sail in the doldrums.

However, after seeing the two people landing, Luo and the others also understood that there was no place Xia couldn't go.

"It's really rare that Xia would come here." Luo smiled at Xia Zheteng, expressing his friendliness.

What can I do? My sister is still in their organization.

"We are considered a family, so I won't say much."

Xia Zheteng also smiled, and stepped forward to pat Luo on the shoulder: "When we were in the hospital, I passed by you, but you didn't notice me, right?"

"You're kidding. How could I not notice it? It's just that I didn't expect you to save my sister."

"Yes, it's all fate. By the way, let me tell you one more thing. I also rescued that guy Rocinante. He should be an excellent navy now, but I don't know where he was assigned."

Luo was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Really? That's great."

"So, whether you want to avenge him or not is up to you."

Luo smiled. Even if it was not for revenge, he had things he wanted to do.

"Is Luffy quiet now?"

"Yeah, Jinbei helped him calm down. He always thought that Ace was dead."

"He is dead."

Luo looked at Xia Zheteng, then said, "I understand."

Xia Zheteng also smiled.

"Wow." Just as they were talking, a huge sea king was killed in the distance.

Everyone looked over.

"How amazing! I didn't expect this sea area to be so dangerous."

After a while, Rayleigh emerged from the water.

"Oh, the boat was overturned by the storm, so I had no choice but to swim over here."

"Storm? This is the doldrums."

Looking at everyone's surprised expressions, Xia Zheteng also laughed. Is this difficult? For Pluto, this is just a small matter.

"Oh, Xia is here too. Tell me, should I call you Xia or Xia Zheteng now?"

"As long as he's not the number one vice admiral in the navy, it's fine." Xia Zheteng also laughed. He has an old relationship with Rayleigh.

"Are you here to see Luffy?"

"No, I'm here to look for Hancock and Jinbe."

"Will they come here?" Rayleigh thought for a moment and clapped his hands. Jinbe is on the island, and Hancock should come here too.

"I think we should say goodbye. After all, we can't keep up with big guys like you." Luo stood up and called on his crew members to leave.

There are so many big guys in this place now, and their pirate group is really just a small Karami.

Peace suddenly returned to the island, and soon Hancock arrived with a large amount of food.

Jinbei and Luffy also showed up.

Hancock hid in the distance, talking to herself with a shy look on her face.

"Oh, Lord Rayleigh." Hancock's sisters all greeted Rayleigh warmly.

Jinbei and Luffy were eating over there.

Rayleigh suggested that Luffy should train with him for two years, and if so, he would need to notify his companions.

Luffy also fell silent.

"That's great. Study hard, Luffy. You're still a long way from being a true pirate in the New World."

Luffy looked at the person who spoke. It was Xia, but he was masked so he couldn't tell who it was.
