Pirate: It's reasonable for me, an intern, to beat up Red Hair.

The first half of the Grand Line.

Near the Calm Sea.

It was a clear day with two huge naval warships sailing on the vast sea.

"Ah, what a nice day."

On the deck of the warship, a navy soldier stretched himself, looked at the seabirds flying around the warship, and smiled at his companion beside him.

"Yes, the escort mission is about to be completed. The generals are happy, and so are we." The companion responded

"Hehe, right?"

The navy soldier laughed, then suddenly lowered his voice and looked at his companion mysteriously,"By the way, do you know the identity of the man under the cabin?"

""Who doesn't know the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Ace the Fire Fist?"

The companion curled his lips and said.

How could the soldiers on the ship not know who they were escorting when they came to escort the prisoners to Impel Down?

The companion thought the navy soldier's question was stupid.

But the navy soldier laughed and said,"Of course everyone knows Ace the Fire Fist. I'm asking you, do you know this guy's secret identity?"

""Secret identity?"

The companion looked puzzled,"This captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates has a second identity? Could it be that he is an undercover agent of our navy?"

"What are you thinking about!"

The navy soldier laughed, and then glanced around with a sly look. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he lowered his voice and said to his companion:"I'm telling you, you have to keep it a secret. This Fire Fist Ace, in fact... he is the Pirate King, Gol·D·Roger's son!"

"What?!"

His companion's eyes widened, and he almost jumped up.

Fortunately, the navy soldier held him back, and said urgently:"Keep your voice down! Keep it a secret! Keep it a secret, okay?!""

"No," the companion looked at the navy soldier in confusion,"Don't talk nonsense, if such an outrageous thing gets out, people will die.……"

"What's so outrageous about this? I heard Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel and Vice Admiral Bastiu mention it in person. How could it be false if the Vice Admiral said it himself?!"

"Hiss! Is this true? Tell me in detail!"

"That day, I was cleaning outside the cabin.……"

……

Meanwhile, in the cabin of the Flying Squirrel

"I know the relationship between you and Garp. As old friends, I will treat you with special favors, but this is not the capital for you to fight me. Do you understand, Gol?·D·Ace?"

Under the dim cabin was a simple sea-tower stone cell.

At this moment, Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel had a grim expression on his face, his tall body facing away from the cell door, and was speaking to a person inside.

"My name is Portgas·D·Ace, not Gol.·D·Ace. Don't change people's names casually, you navy bastard."

In the cell, Ace's embarrassed figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

"It's up to you."

Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel snorted,"Whether you are Portgas or Gol, your last name is none of my business. But I have one thing to remind you, in half an hour, we will arrive at Impel Down. When you are sent to Impel Down, I hope you are healthy and alive, understand?"

After saying that, he glanced at a plate in front of Ace.

The plate was brought in 12 hours ago.

12 hours later, the plate was still untouched.

It seems that the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates is planning to go on a hunger strike.

""Ha."

Ace sneered,"Don't try to be nice to me, you lackey of the navy. You know what you want to do by arresting me, and I know it too. So I advise you to give up on this idea! Even if I die, I will never let my father down, or our Whitebeard Pirates down!""

""You want me to attack the Whitebeard Pirates? Dream on!"

After saying that, he spat fiercely in front of Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel.

The veins on Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel's forehead jumped, and his eyes narrowed subconsciously.

To be honest, if it weren't for Garp, Ace would have been beaten up at this time.

In the end, Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel snorted coldly, turned around and said,"It's up to you. Anyway, your body is your own, and it's your business if you starve to death."

"In addition, I would like to advise you not to try to take advantage of your relationship with Senior Garp."

"Senior Garp has always been a member of the Navy, and has always been the hero and pride of our Navy. If I find out that Senior Garp has done anything against the justice of the Navy because of you, I swear, I will chop off your head with my own hands, understand?!"

""Pah."

Ace sneered.

Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel ignored him and left the moment he finished speaking.

"Damn it."

After Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel left, the unruly Ace's eyes finally darkened and his face looked ugly.

As he said, he knew exactly what the Navy wanted to achieve by taking advantage of his arrest.

He was sure that as long as he was imprisoned in the Impel

Downs, he would definitely not survive. His father and his brothers would certainly come to save him.

But to be honest, he didn't want them to come.

It was conceivable that on the day of his beheading, the Navy would definitely set up a net around him.

Is the Whitebeard Pirates strong? Of course they are strong.

However, it is impossible for the Whitebeard Pirates to get people from the Navy with just the Whitebeard Pirates.

He is Will die.

The brothers of the Whitebeard Pirates and his father cannot be implicated by him.

Because of this, Ace is in great pain at the moment.

He knows his fate and what will happen next, but he is powerless to stop it.

What makes him even more angry is that all of this is because of his own willfulness and he was caught accidentally.

If he had not been so stubborn and insisted on going out to sea alone to hunt down Teach, how could all of this have happened?

It is too late to regret it now.

He can only hope that his father can see the situation clearly, ignore him, and abandon his incompetent and willful son.……

"Oh, as expected, someone like me should not have been born into this world from the beginning."

With his hands handcuffed to the seastone, Ace raised his head slightly, leaned against the hard and cold wall, and laughed self-deprecatingly:"Because of me, my mother died when she gave birth to me."

"Because of me, Saab was unable to realize his dream of sailing and his body sank into the sea."

"Now, because of me, the Whitebeard Pirates are about to suffer a catastrophic disaster."

"So why was I born into this world?"

"Is it just to bring more suffering to more people?"

He looked up.

His gray eyes seemed to be able to see through this cold cell and see the wider sky.

"Maybe, this is good."

"As long as I die, I will be free and will not cause trouble to others."

"I just don't know how Luffy is doing now. I really want to... see him again.……"

Just as he was thinking this, suddenly, a voice came to his ears through the cold iron window:

""Hey! Ace! Do you hear me? I'm here to save you!"

The hazy voice sounded familiar, as if it came from far away, yet very close, which made Ace freeze on the spot.

After a long time, he finally remembered where he had heard this voice before. He stood up immediately, his eyes widened, and the expression on his face was as if he had seen a ghost:"It's... the intern boy on our ship?!"

"What is he doing here?"
