Pirates: Building a Pirate Family.

Hearing this, Ace slowly lowered his head, a barely perceptible dimness flashed in his eyes, his lips were tightly pursed, and he remained silent.

Seeing this scene, Whitebeard already had some guesses in his mind.

He knew very well that Ace might have some unspeakable difficulties at the moment, and since the other party was unwilling to reveal it, he would not force him.

Then, Whitebeard turned around gently and cast his gaze towards his sons standing at the door.

"Sons!"

Whitebeard's deep and magnetic voice sounded.

"Ace is our honored guest. Do we want to harm our own guest? As for the so-called hatred..."

Having said that, Whitebeard's eyes swept across the slightly hateful faces of his sons one by one, especially fixed on a few pairs of eyes that were filled with anger.

"After Ace's injury is healed, I will fight with you one by one. As my son, taking advantage of others in distress is not the style of the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Whitebeard spoke earnestly to his sons in front of him.

As soon as the words fell, many people present relaxed their expressions a little and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, there are still a few people who have a deep hatred for Ace in their hearts.

Even after hearing what Dad said, they still clenched their fists and closed their eyes, but ultimately chose to obey Dad's orders and said nothing more.

Contest?

This is simply a big joke!

In the entire Whitebeard Pirates, the number of people who can defeat Ace can probably be counted on one hand.

They are very clear about their own strength and naturally have that kind of self-knowledge.

The people who had come here with great momentum and wanted to settle accounts with Ace could only retreat helplessly at this moment.

Whitebeard's weathered eyes gazed deeply at Ace lying on the hospital bed, as if he wanted to engrave his appearance into his heart.

After a moment, Whitebeard turned and left without saying a word, his heavy footsteps echoing in the room like thunder.

As the door slowly closed, only the Spade Pirates were left in the room.

Zeus looked at Whitebeard's receding back, and his uneasiness grew stronger.

When he was sure that everyone had left, he quickly turned around, looked at Ace anxiously, and spoke in a low voice.

"Captain, we really can't stay with the Whitebeard Pirates any longer. The people here are full of hostility towards you. It might be dangerous to continue staying here!"

Ace frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then nodded gently.

He gritted his teeth and said firmly: "When my injuries are almost healed, we will leave here immediately!"

However, at this moment, Ace had no idea of ​​the deep meaning contained in Whitebeard's last look before he left.

Time passed quietly, and another two days went by.

After this period of rest, Ace was finally able to walk again.

He tried to move his body and was pleasantly surprised to find that most of his injuries had healed.

Ace clenched his fists tightly, feeling the power surging in his body, which seemed to be a little stronger than before.

This increase in strength made him excited.

"Sure enough, only by constantly fighting with strong people can we make such rapid progress!"

Ace muttered to himself, and the image of Napoleon involuntarily appeared in his mind.

The opponent who had fought fiercely with him was no longer in the paradise, which really made Ace feel a little regretful.

"Napoleon, I hope you won't let me down when we meet again in three years!"

Ace swore silently, a determined gleam in his eyes.

Think of Katakuri who defeated Napoleon.

"BIGMOM Pirates, after we have dealt with the Whitebeard Pirates, we will challenge the BIGMOM Pirates!"

Ace made a decision with a firm look in his eyes.

Just a moment later, the members of the Spade Pirates quickly gathered together.

They walked out of the cabin in an orderly manner, filed out, and stepped onto the broad deck of the Moby Dick.

When Ace and his crew showed up, the crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates, who were originally busy with their own affairs, all cast curious glances at them.

However, Ace didn't care about the gazes of the people around him. He crossed his arms naturally in front of his chest, looked straight ahead with an expressionless face, and walked straight towards Whitebeard with big strides.

Ace stopped when he was not far in front of Whitebeard, then bent down deeply and gave a standard bow.

After he straightened up, he raised his head.

"Thank you Whitebeard Pirates for your hospitality over the past few days. I, Ace, will always remember this kindness in my heart. At the same time, I sincerely express my deepest apologies for my previous immature and impulsive words and actions. Please forgive my recklessness and ignorance."

Ace is not the kind of person who doesn't know etiquette. Although he has a somewhat arrogant personality, he has a clear sense of right and wrong and a bottom line of principles deep in his heart.

Before this, he had openly provoked the Whitebeard Pirates, but instead of killing him, the other party rescued him at the critical moment.

This kind of magnanimity and tolerance of repaying evil with kindness deeply touched Ace, and also caused a huge change in his opinion of the Whitebeard Pirates.

That is why he came specially to say goodbye to Whitebeard and express his sincere gratitude.

At this moment, Whitebeard looked down at the young man in front of him who was once extremely arrogant and domineering, and he couldn't help feeling very surprised that he could actually bow his head to thank him and admit his mistakes.

A barely perceptible smile of relief flashed across his weather-beaten face, and he thought: It seems this kid isn't so arrogant after all.

Whitebeard laughed heartily, and the laughter seemed to pierce the sky.

Ace smiled as well, his smile as warm and bright as the brightest sunshine on a spring day.

"The reason I came here this time is actually to say goodbye to you. I'm going to continue those unfinished adventures!"

Ace still had a smile on his face and looked at Whitebeard with a firm gaze.

As soon as these words came out!

Whitebeard, who originally had a smile on his face, suddenly changed his expression and became serious and nervous.

"No! Ace, you can't leave!"

Whitebeard said subconsciously.

Hearing Whitebeard's words, Ace couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Is there anything else? I will definitely complete what I can do!"

At this moment, Whitebeard stared at Ace closely, and their eyes met, as if time had stopped at this moment.

"You can leave if you want. As long as you can defeat me, you can leave here!"

After saying that, the Kusunokiri in his hand fell on the deck.
