The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

Luther narrowed his eyes slightly and continued in a guessing tone:

"Logically speaking, since the World Government no longer wanted to interfere with the Roger Pirates and practically let them retire, Roger had no reason to step forward. Moreover, there were rumors that Roger was terminally ill and didn't have many years left to live. Normal people at that point would be thinking about spending the rest of their lives with their wives and children."

"Only Roger chose to turn himself in a year later and uttered the words that caused the era to go mad."

"Isn't this logical? He turned himself in just to say that!" Ace said indignantly.

He blamed almost entirely on that one sentence for his mother's death, a truth he gleaned from combining descriptions of most people.

"It's not that I can't understand this, it's something else..."

Luther smiled and wagged one finger:

"He could have confessed and said those words anytime, so why wait a year? What difference would that year make?"

"Ah, what difference does it make in a year? He just lived like an ordinary person for a year, didn't he?" Ace scoffed.

At that young age, he was unaware of anything.

Undeterred, Luther continued his analysis:

"Yes, he must have fulfilled some wish to be willing to turn himself in. Seeing you today, it all makes sense."

As he spoke, Luther looked at Ace and said, enunciating each word clearly:

"Roger knew he had a child, knew he had offspring! That's why he resolutely chose to turn himself in and pursue his dream."

Upon hearing this, Ace's eyes narrowed sharply.

boom! ! !

"asshole!!!"

Ace slammed his fists into the ground, ignoring the pain in his fists, tears streaming down his face.

He may be young, but he's not completely ignorant.

Luther had already said all that; the rest was obvious without him saying a word.

Roger, that bastard, he only saw his mother as a tool for procreation.

As for what would become of them, Roger didn't care at all; it was nothing compared to that so-called dream!

"Luther, can you tell me...?"

Before Ace could finish his pleading words, Luther suddenly turned his face away into the distance.

boom!!!

Suddenly, a thunderous sound rang out in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, the earth shook violently, and the entire Karpo Mountain trembled.

The violent shaking made Ace unable to stand steadily, and it looked like he was about to fall off the cliff again.

Fortunately, Luther grabbed him and put him on his shoulder, barely escaping the misfortune of being caught in the crossfire.

After Ace climbed onto Luther's shoulder, he was surprised to find that it was unusually stable.

Even though the ground was still shaking violently, it couldn't affect Luther in the slightest.

"What's going on... Mount Colpo wasn't like this before..."

Ace muttered a complaint, saying that such a terrifying situation had never occurred before.

Otherwise, he wouldn't dare run towards the cliff; a slight misstep could have cost him his life.

"It's two people fighting."

Luther's soft words left Ace speechless.

Ace looked up at the rocks falling from the cliff into the sea in the distance, the waves crashing, and he couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Are you kidding me? Can human combat even reach this level?"

"There's nothing strange about it. Back in Roger's prime, he could split this mountain in two with a single sword strike, just like this. Watch closely!"

As Luther spoke, he suddenly drew Ace from his waist, which was wreathed in Conqueror's Haki and solar fire, and instantly unleashed a crimson-gold slash.

Wherever the strike passed, it left a bottomless ravine, as if a mountain peak had been cleaved in two.

His strike extended for nearly a thousand meters, hitting a target that was rushing towards him.

boom!!!

The newcomer simply wrapped his fists in Armament Haki and forcefully blocked this astonishing attack.

But in that instant, the person behind him burst into laughter and rushed forward, their voices clashing as they engaged in a verbal battle.

The two wrestled together, each punch and kick carrying immense power.

Ace witnessed a tree ten times his size snap in two after being punched, and one of the trees was picked up and used as a club to smash another person.

"That's terrifying..."

Fear filled Ace's eyes.

He had no idea that humans could be this powerful.

He especially recognized one of the two people fighting!

Garp!

He never expected that unreliable uncle would have such formidable strength.

Chapter 150 Zefa's Questioning

"Garp, it's been a long time since we fought together!"

Zephyr's fists turned dark black, his mouth stretched into a wide grin, and he punched Garp in the face repeatedly.

"Don't stop me!"

Garp cursed, his hands also busy, clashing with Zeff's punch.

Each clash of fists produced a thunderous roar, and the resulting gusts of wind could snap the thick tree trunks in the vicinity.

Although it looked like a big show of force, Garp used the momentum to escape the battle and leave into the distance each time.

Ace was already in Luther's hands, and he didn't want to get into any more pointless entanglements with Zephyr.

"Why aren't you at Marine Headquarters? What are you doing causing trouble for my grandson with that little brat?"

"grandson?"

Zephyr scoffed:

"Even if he is the son of a dragon, the World Government has every reason to look for him. Besides, isn't your real grandson being held by Kuzan?"

They happened to run into Garp and his crew when they arrived on the island.

When the two groups met, a conflict immediately broke out.

The ocean was immediately frozen by Kuzan, and the sea surface instantly turned into land.

When Garp saw Zephyr on Luther's ship, and he looked ready to fight, he started a fight without saying a word.

Kuzan, having taken a baby from Garp, was in a standoff with Gion, and neither of them made a move.

Taking advantage of this moment, Luther left the Don Quixote, completely ignoring the ongoing battle, and landed in the Goa Kingdom to search for Ace, following the information he obtained with his Observation Haki.

Ace was the main reason he came to the Goa Kingdom; everything else could wait.

Even though he was equally interested in the baby in Kuzan's arms, he still couldn't compare to Ace.

Upon seeing Luther fly into the Goa Kingdom, Garp, unsure if Luther had discovered anything, hurriedly tried to follow.

But once he was entangled by Zephyr, he wouldn't be able to leave so easily.

The two fought on and off, but Luther finally arrived at the scene not too late.

When Garp saw Ace and Rudd together, his heart skipped a beat.

Fortunately, Ace was not seriously injured, which put his mind at ease.

But even with Ace sitting on Luther's shoulders, he couldn't help feeling worried, especially after what Zephyr had just said:

"What do you mean? How can he not be my grandson? I raised Ace from a baby!"

"Yes, Ace..."

Zephyr grinned and punched Garp in the face with both fists:

"Luther is my student, and I remember his sword, which came from Roger, was named Ace!"

"boom!"

Garp blocked the punch, his face full of disdain:

"What are you talking about? I fought Roger for half my life. Why can't I use this name to commemorate Roger?"

Are you going to say that it's just a coincidence that Roger looks like him?

Zephyr wore a mocking expression; even from a distance, he could tell at a glance that Ace was definitely Roger's son.

His hairstyle and appearance were exactly like a miniature version of Roger.

"That's right, I took him in as my grandson just because he looks like Roger... You bastard, are you serious?"

"boom!!!"

After a deafening explosion, Mount Colbo was completely severed in the middle of the spot where the two were fighting, with rocks flying everywhere.

The island where the Goa Kingdom is located experienced a tremor as strong as a magnitude 10 earthquake in an instant.

Garp was also slammed into the shattered mountainside by Zeff's full-force punch.

"The mountain... was broken by that person's punch..."

Ace was so shocked by what he saw that his jaw almost dropped.

He couldn't even imagine having such power, capable of leveling a mountain with a single punch.

"asshole!"

Garp pushed away the rocks pressing down on him and struggled to climb out of the mountain, without any injuries.
