Bab 81: Chapter 81. Big Soft Bear
Ace boarded his ship and was surprised to find Whitebeard's naginata in the middle of his deck. It's blade was stabbed into the deck as its staff stood upright.
Ace picked it up and then threw it towards the Moby Dick.
One of the division commander felt the incoming attack and caught the Naginata.
"Captain, are you alright?" Nobujuro asked, he was brutally shocked by their fight. He didn't think there were more monsters like Kaidou outside of Wano.
Wano was a closed island, no information came in or out, which meant that the people didn't know about the Emperors.
"Don't worry, make me some meat!" Ace said.
Nobujuro's eyes sharpened as he put his hand in his katana.
"I will bring honour to your name!" He said, his voice full of willpower.
"No need, just make it a spicy this time!" Ace said.
"Yes, captain..." He said as he drew his sword and walked into the kitchen, ready to die.
"What a weirdo." Ace sighed.
"..." Nami wondered, had Ace ever looked himself in the mirror.
Ace stood with his open, purple shirt, black shorts and sandals, while his black hat was on his back.
The more Nami looked at him, the more certain she was, he must've been dropped as a child!
"Captain, I also wanted to fight." Urouge cried out.
Moby Dick continued sailing away and The Black Pearl did as well.
'Whitebeard, let's have another fight next time we meet.' Ace thought as he saw the Moby Dick disappear.
He understood why Edward Newgate had been a friend of his father, the fight had said it all.
The Demon Ace Pirates continued sailing, but not even a day later did they meet another ship.
Ace, Saw the ships jolly roger and frowned.
The Sail had first the two letters "KU" then a face which looks like it was drawn by a child, then it ended with the two letters "MA"
Ace felt a strong presence on that ship, but before he could do anything he felt someone run past him and jump overboard, it all happened in a flash that one would be able to see it with the naked eye, But Ace knew it was Bonney.
His eyes widened as he realised who the person on the ship might be.
Ace had planned to search for this person... What a coincidence that they met like this.
'No, he has probably been called to marine ford in preparation for the war with Whitebeard...'Ace realised as he looked at the direction he had come from. Whitebeard was also sailing towards sthat place, so it wasn't such a big coincidence that he met another person going there.
"Captain, should we...?" Jojo asked as all the Demon Ace Pirates gathered, ready for another battle.
"No, it's probably fine.." Ace said as he kept watch over the ship, in case Bonney fell into danger.
She had jumped towards the other ship and boarded it.
They could hear her bash in the doors to the chamber and start a verbal assault on the person that was inside, it didn't take long before the angry voice turned into a sobbing one.
"Let's leave them be..." Ace said as he realised that there were no danger.
It seemed like she had finally met her father. Ace had planned to try to find Kuma, which shouldn't be so hard since he is famous pirate. He is one of the seven warlords.
"You sure? We don't know who's inside?" Jojo asked. Even though they could figure out that she knew the owner of the ship, they weren't aware who it was.
Ace smiled, it was because of his very advanced observation Haki that he could roughly feel the strength of a person based on their willpower, others didn't have that ability, atleast not that he was aware of. As such, his crew seemed oblivious to the fact that a warlord was inside that ship.
"Don't worry, she finally met her father. let's give them their space." The others nodded and went back to doing what they needed to do.
Ace sat down against the railing and pulled down the brim of the hat over his eyes, as he smiled.
Ace could roughly hear the anger, sadness and happiness of Bonney as she talked with her father. Ace wasn't completely sure of her background nor what she had been through, but he was happy that she had achieved her goal of meeting her dad.
It took a while, three hours, before Bonney went out of the chambers, Ace stood up and looked at her.
Her eyes and nose was red, as if she had been crying, and her nose was running. Ace smiled at her.
"My dad wants to meet you." She said as she took a look back before jumping back to the Black Pearl.
Ace went to her and patted her hair.
"Hey stop that." She said angrily, but she didn't move away.
Ace jumped towards the Warlord's ship, and when he was aboard it, he walked inside. The door was still open after Bonney had left.
"Yo, I'm here to visit!" Ace sang happily as he stepped inside, and as soon as he did, he saw a tall man standing at 689 cm length as he towered above Ace.
Ace wasn't so short himself as he had reached 265 cm, but compared to the giant In front of him, he almost looked like a shorty.
Ace remembered his fight with the two Emperors as both of them also towered above him.
Ace saw a very serious face, a head with black curly hair and glasses.
The room almost got cold as Bartholomew Kuma, the warlord stared him down. Ace didn't back down and looked him straight in the eyes.
Althought his cold face could deceive most, Ace could feel with his Haki that behind that cold demeanour, there was worrisome and kind person.
"Flame Emperor Ace... What is my daughter to you?" After along while, the tall man asked in a monotonous voice, one couldn't make out any emotions behind that tone.
"She's my Nakama, were family!" Ace said without hesitation, it was to the point that it sounded like if anyone disagreed, Ace would start a fight.
"I won't allow her to sail with you." Kuma said as he picked up his bible.
Suddenly, Ace released his willpower, that made Kuma take a step back to catch his balance. A sweat drop ran down Kuma's forehead, a hint of surprise flashed his face for a split second.
"No wonder you're an Emperor." Kuma uttered, his voice was obviously forced as he had a hard time speaking properly.
He was truly surprised, not even his former friend and leader, might have this strong Haki.
The walls creaked, and Kuma had to surrender his attitude. His plan was to scare Ace a bit while threatening him.
Kuma didn't believe he could truly fight with Ace since he was aware of what this young man had accomplished, but he did think he could atleast make Ace heistate.
His sole motive for this was to see what kind of captain his daughter was sailing under. He wanted to push Ace slightly to see if he was worthy of having her in his crew.
"I am an Emperor, I defeated two of them already. No one can tell me what to do or not to do.... As long as she wants to, she will sail under my flag and have my full protection." Ace said, to some extent because he was challenged, and as an Emperor, he had his pride.
The second reason was because he could feel the intent behind Kuma's challenge, and he wanted to make clear what type of person he was.
Because of the Haki Kuma didn't register the words "I defeated two of them already" meaning that Ace just claimed that he has defeated two Emperors.
"Then... I have nothing to say about it... But since we've come to this, you should know something" Kuma said as he took another step back because of the Haki still radiating form Ace.
