"Brother Ace, I still can't believe your life experience."

Jinbe has sea-blue skin and is tall. As a fishman of the whale shark clan, he has strong fighting power.

But he did not bully the weak because of this. Instead, he had a chivalrous heart beneath his ferocious appearance.

In the early days, he followed Fisher Tiger and formed the Sun Pirates, dedicated to saving the fish-men who were wantonly killed and enslaved by humans.

After the death of leader Tiger, the Sun Pirates disbanded, and he was disheartened and returned to Fish-Man Island to live in seclusion.

Later, in order to improve the status of the fishmen, Jinbei accepted the invitation of the navy and became one of the current Shichibukai.

It wasn't that he couldn't accept Ace being the blood of Pirate King Roger, but he couldn't accept it because of the price that identity had to pay.

The Whitebeard Pirates have always protected Fish-Man Island, so that the pirates who go there don't dare to bully the fish-men at will.

This made Jinbei very grateful. He was willing to help Whitebeard do things for free, but he never had this opportunity.

As for Ace, he was a close friend who had never known each other before, and he was also the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates. Naturally, he didn't want the other person to die like this.

"Brother Jinbei, I have never recognized that identity. My father only has white beard, and I don't recognize anyone else."

Having been imprisoned in Impel Down for a while, Ace now hates Blackbeard deeply.

He exposed Ace's identity, which he tried so hard to keep aside, to the public, and used this to plot an ulterior conspiracy.

Although he couldn't guess what it was, it would definitely be detrimental to the Whitebeard Pirates. Ace was not stupid. His execution scene this time would probably not be peaceful.

It's just that he couldn't imagine such a tragic ending as what Lu Gui saw in his previous life, where Whitebeard died, the ability to shake the fruit was taken away, and the Whitebeard Pirates were disbanded.

"Brother Ace, no one knows what changes will happen in the future until the last second.

I promise you that I will take care of your brother Luffy when I meet him in the future, but don't give up, maybe things will turn around. "

Jinbei's words are not all comfort. He believes that not all things have only bad results. There are always miracles hidden in unknown corners, waiting for those who are willing to discover them.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Jinbei."

"You're welcome."

At this moment, the sound of the door opening was heard from the entrance in the distance, and then a steady sound of footsteps reached their ears.

Ace's body trembled and he turned to look at the person walking towards here.After seeing clearly, his eyes turned red for a moment.

He lowered his head, not wanting his fragile appearance to be seen by the other party. When the visitor sat on the floor and looked at him quietly, he raised his head again and showed a big smile.

Just like the last time they met, a happy and sunny smile.

"Ace."

Garp looked at the young man in front of him, his voice was dry.

"Grandpa, it's been a long time since we last saw you. You still look the same."

Ace said with a natural smile.

Seeing this, Garp lowered his head and became silent.

His body was trembling slightly, and Ace felt sad in his heart when he saw it.

He grew up under Garp's education since he was a child. Although they only met for a short time, he was always beaten by the other party.

But Ace, who was emotionally sensitive, could always feel the feeling of caring for him.

Although I have never been married and had children, I cannot understand the feeling of being a parent or elder.

But if you think about it from another perspective, if it is Luffy who is sitting inside, and it is you who is looking at him from the outside, the frustration of being incompetent and helpless can really drive people crazy.

Moreover, Garp has always been carefree and domineering in front of him, never showing a trace of weakness.

Therefore, when he saw Garp like this, Ace felt guilty all over his body instantly, and the tears in his eyes could no longer be hidden, and spewed out like a flood.

"Why don't you listen to grandpa and become a marine? Grandpa has been working hard to teach you and Luffy."

Garp's voice came to mind again, but it was a little choked. He grabbed his hair with his hands and asked Ace painfully, but also seemed to be asking himself.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry..."

Ace was already crying. He could face death without fear.

But facing Garp, who raised him with all his heart, he looked at his frosty white hair.Only then did he realize that he was selfish. He had never considered his grandfather's feelings before.

It's too late now. He has indirectly hurt the people he loves most in this world.

Garp wiped away his tears. He stood up and walked to the cell door. He saw the regret on Ace's face and educated him with red eyes:

"Okay Ace, put away your tears.

After crying this time today, don’t cry again.

It's your choice. Grandpa doesn't agree with it, but he doesn't actually object to it.

No matter how you live, you will have a lifetime. You have matured mentally since childhood and have your own ideas.

I planned to train you and Luffy to become marines, but you made your choice long ago.

Grandpa is heartbroken now that he is like this, but he has long thought that such a day would come.If I can't save you, will you resent Grandpa? "

"No, Grandpa, I can't possibly resent you. I just hate myself for not being sensible and making you less angry when I was around you before.

The current situation is more painful for you outside than for me.

Sorry, grandpa, sorry! "

Ace kept apologizing because he could no longer be filial to Garp.

It is easy to die and there are many ways to die, but those who are alive have to endure more pain.

"Suddenly I feel like you've grown up, Ace. But the price is too high. How should I tell Luffy that I didn't save his brother?"

There was a moment of silence in the cell. Jinbei looked at the old man and the young man in front of him and couldn't think of a relationship between Ace and the naval hero.

But now was obviously not the time for him to interrupt. He just watched silently and sighed for Ace.

Even Garp won't help, so where should the miracle be hidden?

"Lieutenant General Garp, I have your phone number. It says it's from Marshal Warring States."

A voice broke the calm here, Cap paused, and then glanced at Ace.

"I'm leaving Ace. I'll see you again later."

"Grandpa, go and do your work, I can't hide from you now!"

Ace calmed down and made a joke, but unfortunately the effect was not good.

Garp nodded and left here.

Only then did Jinbei take a deep breath, looking at the stunned Ace, he couldn't help but sigh.

"The situation in your family is really complicated."

……

Shaqi Islands, Xia Qi's rip-off bar.

The two pirate groups had finished their lunch, and after sitting and chatting for a while, they heard Chopper talk about Zoro going to compete with Rikuki.

"Isn't this bullying? Lu Gui, what you did is not honest."

Beilu slapped the table in dissatisfaction and shouted.

"puff!"

Most of the people in the group spewed tea out of their mouths when they heard this, especially the Straw Hats, who felt that Beru was looking down on Zoro too much.

"Ahaha, Zoro, you are going to be bullied."

Luffy laughed and patted Zoro on the shoulder, finding this very interesting.

"Why are you laughing? Am I wrong?"

Beilu looked at the person opposite with confusion.

"Beru, you haven't seen Zoro's strength, how do you know he is weak?"

Nami asked with a smile.

"Well, you're right, but I know Lu Gui's strength, and with your captain, I think it's quite awkward, so I might as well forget it.

What kind of fight are you going to have? It’s so frustrating! "

Lu Gui couldn't help rolling his eyes after hearing this. Are you trying to stop a fight, or are you trying to make someone angry?

"She's not very good. Just listen to her and don't take her seriously."

Lu Gui pointed at Beilu's head, indicating that she was not smart enough.

But once the words have been said, it is definitely impossible to take them back so easily.

Although Zoro didn't care about Beilu's somewhat insulting remarks, the competition was still worthwhile.

Regardless of whether it was the same as what Beilu said in the end, he wanted to weigh Lu Gui's strength. After all, when he first met Ace, he knew that he was not as good as him.

Since Lu Gui and Ace are friends and the bounty is not low, it would be a pity not to learn from each other when they meet.

"If we go out and fight, my tavern can't stand the torment."

Xia Qi appeared out of nowhere. She didn't show up at the dinner party, but now she came over with Lei Li.

"Uncle Rayleigh is here too. It's a pity that we didn't get to eat the feast Beru and Sanji cooked together."

Kemi rubbed her overstuffed belly and said with a smile.

“Haha, I’ve eaten outside.

Are you trying to compete? It just so happens that I'll go over and join in the fun. "

Reilly said with a smile, looking harmless.

"Well, let's go to the open space at the door to compete. It would be good to get to know each other better."

Lu Gui agreed, and Buck and the others really wanted to see the approximate strength of the Straw Hats.

"Ah hahaha, let's go then, Zoro, you have to work hard. I can't beat Ace, but if you can be friends with him, he will definitely not be weak."

Luffy warned, but acted very excited to see a battle.

Robin and Annie walked together and asked Lu Gui if he was as powerful as Beilu said.

Annie smiled and nodded. She was very confident and didn't think Zoro could hold on for long.

Robin was thoughtful when she saw this. She had a hunch that maybe the people she met this time could help them recognize the other side of the sea.

The group of people quickly walked out of the bar. A hundred meters away, there was a flat and open area, which was suitable for competition.

Lu Gui and Sauron stood opposite each other, while the others stood watching from a distance.Rayleigh leaned against a tree, staring at the two people on the field with great interest.

Sauron did not hesitate and entered a fighting state in an instant. Three knives came out of his body at the same time, without any thought of underestimating the enemy.

Lu Zhili behaved calmly. The clothes on his body moved automatically without any wind. A burst of starlight shone, and his body surface emitted a hazy light.

"let's start!"

He spoke to Zoro.

"Be careful, the secret of the three-sword style, the one hundred and eight troubles wind!"

Following Zoro's movements, the three swords instantly emitted terrifying slashing light blades.

And these light blades are entangled with each other, directly doubling the destructive power.

"Zoron is serious about it. He uses this move as soon as he comes up. I wonder if Lu Gui is going to block it or dodge it?"

Usopp looked quite nervous, and the other Straw Hats were also considering this issue.

But the result was far beyond their expectations.

Lu Gui was seen not moving in the face of the slash, but raised his left hand, and a starlight shield appeared and collided with the flying slash.

There was a "bang", and a burst of smoke and dust was raised on the field. Reilly pushed up his glasses, and he could see clearly what was going on inside.

When the smoke cleared, Lu Gui stood there unscathed, with a crack on his shield and nothing else.

"I am dreaming!"

Usopp bit his hand, surprised.
