One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

Ace wasn't simply giving up on himself; he still possessed a tenacious will to survive and wanted to save himself.

The appearance of Sabo and Luffy gave him his first reason to live—to take care of his younger brothers.

In the future, Whitebeard's appearance gave him a second reason to live—to make his father the Pirate King.

Now, it's his older brother Kane's turn to become a third party.

"what?"

Ace was taken aback.

"Since you hate the Great Pirate Era that your father started so much, then go and overthrow it. Go and establish a new peaceful order, and prove that you are much stronger than your father."

Kane's smile remained unchanged: "It begins with the father and ends with the son, isn't that interesting? It's better than you wallowing in self-pity here."

Ace's pupils trembled.

He never considered this path, if he actually succeeded...

“No need to answer me right away. I’m going to stay here for a few more days,” Kane said with a smile.

After hesitating for a long time, Ace reached out and grasped the hand that Kane offered.

"I will give you an answer before you leave."

After saying that, Ace limped away from the open space.

"Ace, wait for me!"

At this moment, Luffy finally emerged from the forest and eagerly followed Ace.

Mount Golpo, not far from the windmill village.

Looking at the huge wooden house in the distance, Ace hesitated.

I wanted to find a quiet place to contemplate my future, but somehow I ended up here without even realizing it.

Just then, a woman with orange curly hair led a group of fully armed henchmen out.

"It's Ace and Luffy, Dadan!"

A sharp-eyed younger brother shouted excitedly.

"You two little bastards, you're still alive!"

Dadan took a deep drag on his cigarette and shouted menacingly, "So I don't have to collect your corpses."

Upon seeing Ace and Luffy, the woman's anxiety subsided.

Even before that, after hearing from her younger brother that the Beasts Pirates had landed on the island, she had been worried about their safety.

Given Ace and Luffy's tempers, it's hard for them not to cause trouble.

This is also why she takes her younger brothers out.

"Come in and eat!"

Dadan cursed, "If you two brats starve to death, that old bastard Garp will definitely come after me."

"Okay!" Luffy was the first to respond.

"Idiot, are you hungry? Didn't you just eat at the tavern?"

Ace sighed and facepalmed.

"Really? I forgot. Hehe." Luffy rubbed his stomach: "I felt really hungry after fighting that guy."

"With whom?" Dadan paused, her brows furrowing.

She then realized that the dirt and grime on the two of them didn't seem to be from fighting wild animals.

"That... um... that?"

Luffy frowned, deep in thought, and after a long while said, "I forgot!"

thump--

Everyone fell down.

"Are you a fish?" Ace roared. "It's Kane, Kane the Cataclysm!"

"What? It's the Beasts Pirates?" Dadan exclaimed in surprise.

She hurriedly welcomed Ace and Luffy inside and instructed her underlings to guard the gate.

"You guys really fought against Kane the Scourge?" Dadan asked impatiently.

In her heart, she found it hard to believe.

After all, the idea of ​​two children challenging a world-renowned pirate and escaping unscathed seems like a fairy tale.

"Yeah, that guy is really strong. He sent me flying in one go." Luffy nodded immediately, exclaiming, "That guy is really strong. He knocked me away in one go."

"However, I will win back my title sooner or later."

Luffy was full of confidence.

Dadan felt like the sky was about to fall.

"Both of you, you're not going anywhere right now, you're staying right here! No bargaining allowed!"

Dadan dared not gamble on Kane and his group's good intentions.

All she could do was hide Ace and Luffy until Garp appeared.

Ace had never seen Dadan look like this before.

His eyes held a firmness that revealed a hint of determination.

He suddenly realized that the woman in front of him, who had always seemed to dislike and despise the three brothers, might actually love them deep down.

Ace's heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly realized that he had already made up his mind, but he just couldn't bear to leave Dadan's family.

"Thank you, Dadan, and everyone else, thank you for taking care of me all these years."

Ace's sudden gratitude startled Dadan.

"What nonsense are you spouting, you brat!"

Dadan shivered dramatically, as if she had been chilled.

"I've made up my mind, I'm going to join the Beasts Pirates!" Ace declared resolutely.

Dadan's world collapsed completely.

"W-what did you say?"

Dadan was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth, and didn't even notice that the cigarette in her mouth had fallen to the ground.

"I will follow Kane to sea and end this era," Ace emphasized.

"Are you crazy?"

Dadan grabbed Ace by the collar, trying to find a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

Unfortunately, no.

"I am going to end my father's sins."

Ace stared intently into Dadan's eyes.

Dadan slowly released her grip on Ace's collar, realizing that she couldn't stop the boy anymore.

Chapter 73 The Arrival of the Bear Father and Daughter

Ace got the answer he wanted, and Kane's ship welcomed new guests.

Two bubbles, one large and one small, broke through the clouds and flew straight toward the windmill village dock.

A red glint flashed in Kane's eyes, and a smile played on his lips: "Let's go greet our friends."

The bubble burst.

Two figures draped in cloaks landed steadily on the deck of the Sky Piercer.

"Welcome, Big Bear, Bonnie."

Kane went to meet him.

Several days later, the father and daughter finally arrived after crossing the distant South China Sea.

This is thanks to the incredible long-distance teleportation ability of the Paw-Paw Fruit; otherwise, this journey would have taken at least several months.

Big Bear pulled down his hood, revealing a gentle and kind face.

Bonnie gripped her father's hand tightly, her face mostly hidden by the hood, but she didn't seem timid at all. Instead, she stared at Kane and his diverse companions with wide, curious eyes.

Are you doctors?

"No, the doctor is in the new world."

Kane replied gently, then turned to the bear: "We need to stay in Windmill Village for a day."

"We apologize for disturbing you," Big Bear said with a slight bow.

Compared to the hope of curing Bonnie, what does waiting a few more days matter?

Meanwhile, Yamato and the others were already talking to Bonnie.

"Wow! That's so cool! Are those jewels on your face?" Yamato leaned closer to Bonnie, his eyes shining.

Bonnie touched the jewel-like crystals on her face, somewhat bewildered.

This was the first time she had heard praise for the stone on her face from anyone other than her father.

"Thank you, but if possible, I would rather not have these gems."

Bonnie's voice lowered, and she kicked the ground with her toes: "I'm sick. I don't want Father to worry about me."

"Make way."

Sanji appeared on the deck like a whirlwind, holding a tray in his hand, and handed it to Bonney.

"Lovely little girl, please have a taste!"
