NOVEL NEXT Chapter 34
Just as the prison guard was about to return, a voice called Ning Chuan's name from outside.
Ning Chuan heard Garp calling him and said to the prison guard:"Let's talk next time."
While responding to Garp
"I'm here, old man!"
"You go meet Ace..."Garp said in a pretentious manner.
Seeing Garp's appearance, Ning Chuan sighed in his heart: I'm afraid the conversation between the grandfather and grandson was not very good. Sighing
, Ning Chuan walked towards the direction where Ace was imprisoned.
Ace, who heard the footsteps, lowered his head and shouted directly:"Didn't I say that?..."
"Ace..."
Hearing this voice, Ace's unsaid words were stuck in his throat. He raised his head and looked at his brother who came again.
"Ace, you won't welcome me, I'm not an old-fashioned person like the old man.~"
"Want to drink?"Ning Chuan asked pretending to be naughty.
Looking at Ning Chuan who was still playing tricks at this time, Ace laughed. He smiled very happily.
Although he was about to be executed soon, he had his own brother to send him off. It’s not a bad journey, isn’t it?
Ace smiled and said,"Okay, it would be nice to have another drink before I die."
After that, the two brothers talked a lot again, from childhood to adulthood, as well as interesting stories about Ace after he went to sea and Ning Chuan being taught a lesson by his superiors in the navy.
In the end, both of them drank too much, and neither of them had their own ideas. No matter who you are dissatisfied with.
A slightly tipsy Ace said to Ning Chuan:"Ning Chuan, look, it's better to be a pirate. How free it is. Live freely every day without being restricted by superiors"
"you...You're talking nonsense, what's the point?..."Ning Chuan, who was also a little drunk, said:"What's the point of being a pirate? I'm worried every day. One day I accidentally get caught by our navy...."
"By the way, I met Luffy at the Shampoo Islands a few days ago."
"The old man told me that what he did this time was really beautiful! It's a pity that I can't see him anymore..."
Ning Chuan leaned on the tree stump behind him, opened his closed eyes just a slit, and sneered.
"Can’t see? What are you thinking? Luffy should have known by now that you have been captured and about to execute you. Do you think he will come to save you?"
When Ace heard this, he immediately sobered up from being a little tipsy.
He asked anxiously:"Ning Chuan, you said Luffy already knew the news that I was going to be executed!
Ning Chuan took a sip of wine and said,"If there are no accidents, that's about it.""
He stood up, took back Ace's wine glass and the wooden stake behind him, and wanted to leave.
Before leaving, he looked at Ace, whose upper body was already covered by the shadow, and said to him
"Ace, think carefully about what I said to you before. Luffy will definitely come back to save you, and the Whitebeard Pirates are probably on their way here now."
"To be honest, it doesn’t matter whose bloodline you carry. He’s already dead, so what’s the use of bloodline?"
"The old man is right. If you and Luffy had both joined the navy, the old man would have fought to the death to keep you. They could even blatantly publicize your existence to the outside world.""Although it is unfair to you, but think about it, the bloodline of the Pirate King and the leader of the Revolutionary Army have joined the navy camp. Isn’t this the biggest blow to the Pirates and the Revolutionary Army?"
"but now...It's too late to say anything, war is inevitable. Both the world government and the navy want to take this opportunity to attack the pirate forces."
"So, Ace, catching you is just a good reason to start a war. Even if you are not caught, the war between the navy and the pirates will break out sooner or later...."
"Think carefully about what I told you. Although I joined the Navy, I will not watch my brother die in front of me...."
After leaving Impel City, Ningchuan and the others boarded Shi's warship. Garp ate senbei and asked
"Asta...how's it going..."
Ning Chuan smiled and replied:"Ace, he is in good spirits now. We also had a drink.~"
"Hahaha, you are indeed my grandson."
Garp put away the senbei and stood on the deck with Ning Chuan to enjoy the view of the sea. The grandfather and grandson fell into silence.
After a while, Garp opened up the silent atmosphere.
"Ningchuan, every one of my grandsons makes me so proud, but you are the one who makes me worry the most...."
Ning Chuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Garp:"Hey, old man, you're not going to say anything sensational! I won't listen!"
"Listen to what grandpa has to say."
Garp asked Ning Chuan while holding on to the railing of the boat:"Do you know why grandpa asked you to become a navy when you were a child? Ning
Chuan put his arms on the railing and looked at the endless sea and said,"I didn't know before, but I know now. It's to protect Ace and Luffy, and so that we can help each other in the navy.""
"Hahaha, he is indeed my grandson, he is really smart. Yes, this is a reason"
"ah...Your talents are all the best on the sea. If you all become marines, with my strength and Sengoku and the others, there is still a great chance to protect them both. Even if their identity cannot be recognized by everyone, at least their lives are not in danger...."
