Chapter 818 Ace Awakens the Conqueror's Haki!

Chapter 818 Ace Awakens the Conqueror's Haki!

_________________

"What do you think of this scenario?"

"I think it makes sense... There's no better time or reason for him to awaken this power."

"So, you weren't surprised?"

"Oh, I was definitely surprised, but not too much. Wahaha! After all, he's my son."

"Wahaha! Still, it's funny to see him at this size and wielding such power!"

"Even I didn't awaken it at his age."

At that moment, everyone inside the art store in Baterilla was left speechless by the scene that unfolded in the manga. Of course, the exception was Roger and his crew, who admired the scene instead of being shocked.

How could they not? They were used to surprises. Something like this wasn't shocking to them—it seemed only logical.

'Ace... it seems at this particular point in your life, you realized you've gained people who truly love you for who you are...'

Roger smiled as he watched the manga scenes unfold.

Chapter's Events:

—————————

"That's right!! All Sabo ever wanted was to be free!!!"

Luffy bit the pirate who had grabbed him as he shouted those words.

"Aaghhhhh!! Damn brat...!!!"

The pirate screamed in pain, quickly drawing his sword in anger and slashing at Luffy.

"Luffy!!" Seeing this, Ace couldn't hold back.

"I'll kill you...!" The pirate wasn't satisfied with just striking Luffy; he was ready to deliver a killing blow.

"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH LUFFY!!!!"

In that critical moment, a mysterious force erupted from Ace, knocking out the pirate who intended to slaughter Luffy and the rest of the surrounding pirates, except for Bluejam, who stood shocked as his entire crew collapsed.

"What did you just do, you filthy little urchin?!!!" Bluejam pressed down on Ace with his foot, screaming, and pulled out his gun.

"Ace?!!! Stop!" Luffy felt terrified because Bluejam was really about to kill Ace.

But before he could pull the trigger, a sudden powerful attack came out of nowhere. Though unexpected, Bluejam managed to block the axe with his sword.

"Give it up already, you stinking pirate!!! Get your hands off our Ace!!!"

Dadan shouted after knocking Bluejam away from Ace.

"Dadan...!!!" Luffy was stunned to see Dadan and her gang at that moment.

"What are you all doing here?!!!"

•———•———•———•———•

Dadan sat there in a secluded corner of the relaxation area at the art store in Amazon Lily.

Saying she was embarrassed to return to Foosha was nonsense; the truth was she had gotten completely absorbed in the details of this volume, not wanting to take her eyes off it for even a second.

"That's my boy..." Watching Ace unknowingly unleash his Conqueror's Haki at the crucial moment to save Luffy from certain death, a wide smile appeared on Dadan's face.

"This... as expected from myself!" Yet her eyes filled with tears the moment her counterpart appeared and saved Ace from death in turn.

"I won't let you harm our Ace!" She clenched her delicate hand into a fist as she reacted to the chapter's events as if she were part of that nightmarish moment in the manga!

"Huh!? Why run away right after saving them? Isn't that just Bluejam? Why fear him? No, maybe it's because of the flames surrounding the battlefield, right?"

Watching Dadan attempt to flee after rescuing Luffy and Ace, Dadan realized it wasn't the time for delays in such situations.

"But Ace wouldn't run from a fight no matter the reason, would he?"

She smiled when she saw her prediction come true, her grin widening as Dadan decided to stay back with Ace to fight Bluejam as well.

...

"So, this is when the kid first awakened this power, Buwahaha! Who would've thought that the scene from the Summit War had a mirrored history too."

Rouge sighed as she moved on to the next scenes.

"This...!"

Her eyes widened in shock as she saw what happened next... From the sky, a mysterious force descended, parting the sea of flames and creating a path for those who had lost hope, surrounded by fire from all sides.

"That's why this power exists... to save people from the depths of despair..."

"Is this what the Revolutionary Army stands for...?"

...

Inside the art store in Green Terminal, an inconspicuous man sat sweating in the corner.

He appeared to be a man in his thirties... Before the era of manga, he had lived in the Gray Terminal as a rising pirate.

But when the art store first appeared, he blended in with the homeless and hungry people, receiving shelter and food from the store. Over time, he abandoned the idea of becoming a pirate and completely gave up his wicked thoughts.

With the rapid prosperity of the Green Terminal, he soon found a stable job, started a family, and began living happily.

But when he thought today would be just another great day because of the latest volume, he was hit hard when he saw a completely different version of himself.

It was Bluejam, the pirate who once dreamed of becoming a noble, even if it meant sacrificing everything.

The reason for his sweating now was the fear that someone might connect him to his manga counterpart.

"Damn it! Why won't you just die already? I hope Ace manages to tear you apart!"

Bluejam became the first character in history to want his own counterpart in the manga to die!
