Pirates: Building a Pirate Family

However, they had gone through countless hardships and dangers along the way, and many life-and-death tests had failed to defeat them, but now they were facing such a desperate situation.

Deuce slowly closed his eyes, feeling a pang of pain in his heart, as if all his strength had been drained from his body at this moment, and he collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball.

With a "thump", his knees fell heavily on the hard deck.

"Vice Captain!"

The crew members shouted in fear behind him.

But Deuce ignored it, and stared expressionlessly at the Whitebeard Pirates not far ahead, with despair and pleading in his eyes.

"Please... let Ace go!"

Before he finished speaking, Deuce was about to kowtow.

At this moment, something strange happened!

Whitebeard held the Kusugawa-Kiri in his hand and gently knocked it against the deck under his feet.

In an instant, a powerful wave of air suddenly rose up, sweeping over like a surging sea wave.

Deuce, who originally wanted to kowtow, had no time to react and was instantly blown away by the wave of air.

Interrupted Deuce's action.

Deuce's head did not kowtow.

"Okay, let's end it here. We don't mean to hurt Ace. Ace is receiving treatment. Don't worry!"

Whitebeard stood up and looked at this group of newcomers who were kind and righteous.

Then he walked in front of Deuce and stretched out his hand to help Deuce up.

This sudden change not only shocked the crew of the Spade Pirates.

It also surprised many crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Only Marco looked as if he had already understood it and was not too surprised.

"Boy, I admire your righteous act of saving your companions at the cost of your life. Be my son!"

Whitebeard put his big hand on Deuce's shoulder and looked at Deuce lovingly.

Deuce looked at Whitebeard in shock when he heard it.

What's going on? Just now he looked like he would never give up.

Why is he going to take him in as his son the next second?

Deuce is not used to being someone else's son.

He is not Ace who lacks love.

Wait, why did I think of Ace?

Deuce looked at Whitebeard in astonishment and did not answer.

Whitebeard smiled.

"Boy, you can think about it slowly. Don't worry, we just invited your captain to visit the Whitebeard Pirates. We have no intention of hurting him. Look at the bandages on his body. They were wrapped by our captain of the first team!"

Whitebeard pointed at Ace who was still unconscious, and then at Marco who was standing beside Ace and Joz.

Marco scratched his head with his right hand and smiled.

Now, everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates understood.

Their father had taken a fancy to this group of people.

He wanted to take this group of people as his sons.

In an instant, the Whitebeard Pirates, who were originally hostile to Ace and the Spade Pirates, immediately abandoned their hostility.

Instead, they showed a simple or friendly smile.

In their eyes, these people will be their brothers in the future.

No one can refuse the son that their father wants to take in.

After seeing these smiles, the Spade Pirates also put down their raised weapons.

But there was still a sense of unreality in their hearts.

Just now, they were on edge, and the next second, they were in a happy mood.

The contrast is really a bit big.

After seeing their actions, Whitebeard's smile became even brighter.

"Children, let's have a party. Let's welcome the guests of the Spade Pirates!"

Whitebeard raised his right hand high, pointed to the sky, and announced happily.

Upon hearing the party, the crew of the Whitebeard Pirates immediately became happy.

"Have a party!"

The Moby Dick immediately became lively.

Thatch, who had been so domineering before, immediately brought plates of delicious food to Deuce and others with great enthusiasm.

"Come and try it, this is the delicious food I cooked carefully!"

Thatch put his arm on Deuce's shoulder and said excitedly.

"Yes, Captain Thatch is our chef, and his cooking skills are unique. Those who have eaten it say it's good. Even the captain of the BIGMOM Pirates, Charlotte Linlin, invited Captain Thatch to join them because of his cooking skills!"

The crew next to him immediately introduced Thatch.

Deuce looked at Thatch curiously, and didn't expect that this person was actually the chef of the Whitebeard Pirates.

You can't judge a person by his appearance.

Good wine, delicious food, and laughter diluted the previous unpleasantness.

Deuce and the Spade Pirates soon forgot about Ace and became friends with the Whitebeard Pirates.

They are all pirates on the sea, and there is nothing that can't be solved by a meal of wine.

The banquet lasted for a day.

It didn't end until late at night.The next day.

Joz, who had been unconscious for a day, woke up first.

"Ugh, I'm so hungry!"

Joz sat up from the deck.

At the banquet yesterday, Joz and Ace were left on the deck and left alone.

They were left lying on the deck.

Joz smelled the strong aroma of wine and food.

He looked around.

He found that the crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates were lying on the deck in a mess, looking drunk.

Needless to say, Joz also understood what happened.

Yesterday, the Whitebeard Pirates held a banquet!

But why did they hold a banquet?

Soon, Joz found the answer.

On the deck, in addition to the crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates, there were also several strangers lying.

Although they were very strange, Joz still recognized them at a glance. Isn't this the crew member of the Fire Fist Ace?

How did they appear here?

Just then!

Footsteps sounded.

Joz turned around and saw Marco walking slowly.

"Captain Marco!"

Joz stood up immediately, but the pain in his body made him stagger.

"No need to stand up, just sit down. You are still very weak and should not do strenuous activities!"

Marco held the plate with both hands, and the hot barbecue in the plate was fragrant.

Joz swallowed his throat.

"Eat, I know you are starving!"

Marco said with a smile.

Joz has not eaten for five days since the battle. How can he not be hungry?

Thinking of this, Marco glanced at Ace who was lying next to Joz. He also hadn't eaten for five days.

But the other party obviously didn't wake up as quickly as Joz.

Joz swallowed the food in big mouthfuls.

Following Marco's gaze, he looked at Ace who was lying next to him.

"Marco, what happened? Why is he here?"

Joz was full of doubts.

"It was my father's order. When I brought you back, I also wanted to bring Ace with me!"

Marco looked at Joz and said.

"Huh?"

Joz was puzzled.

"I guess my father is interested in talent and wants to recruit Ace to join us!"

Marco smiled. He was used to his father's behavior.

Ever since he followed his father, his father had gathered the Whitebeard Pirates step by step.
