Chapter 186： Secret

"Ace..."

Wright looked at Ace who was thinking silently, and Guina was also a little curious about this boy who was about his age.

This is the grandson of Grandpa Cap, although Grandpa Cap wants to teach them by himself... but Guina understands that the boy in front of him is really not weak.

That guy Luffy, what he ate was the devil fruit, which he wanted to break through the **** shackles of the sea-but the devil fruit is really magical, Luffy was beaten by himself with a bamboo sword, it won't hurt at all!

I don't know what kind of devil fruit I will get...

Guina fell into a reverie, and Luffy also looked at the pensive Ace, feeling that his brother has changed a lot from before.

"Guina."

"Big brother?"

"Lead the road to fly around the village, and buy some wine in Mackinaw's tavern."

"Okay!" Guina Bingxue was smart, and Bailey, who was handed by Wright, took Luffy and walked away.

"Hey? We just came up from the village..."

"Stop talking, take my sister to see Aunt Markino, didn't you just go there?"

"Oh, good!"

...

The voices of Guina and Luffy were getting farther and farther, until they couldn't hear them anymore.

Ace let out a long sigh, and finally spoke.

"Uncle Wright, whether it is a pirate or a navy, there are two sides to it."

"Of course. You have seen civilians and pirates over the years. Perhaps your impression of the Navy is just... incompetent?"

Wright smiled: "But how can the navy be incompetent if it can suppress the sea for hundreds of years..."

"It's just that you can't help it... the root is on the top."

"Your father Roger, although he is called the'most evil man in the world'..."

"But you have thought about it, why?"

"This... everyone in the world thinks so, right?" Ace was a little confused.

"Roger is called the One Piece because he conquered the great route and reached the ultimate island of Love Drew, not because of how many countries he has slaughtered, how many people have been killed, and how many navies he has defeated!"

Wright said slowly: "World ZF didn't even dare to disclose his real name, but called him "Goldo Roger", and "D" was hidden!"

"Could it be... the world ZF is... scared?"

Ace can't talk about it—he's not stupid, now he, after Wright's education, has learned to think about problems from all aspects.

The death of his father Roger, now it seems, is full of doubts.

Wright's words quickly confirmed his guess.

"This is an unspeakable secret..."

"Your father Roger... surrendered!"

"what?!"

Ace was shocked and said: "But World ZF announced that they had arrested..."

"Arrest Roger? Your grandfather has never admitted. Everything is just a lie of World ZF to show off force-have you seen other crew members of One Piece be arrested?"

Wright interrupted Ace's words: "Under the protection of so many powerful crew members, Roger was captured alive, and no crew members came to the rescue at the time of the execution-even if all the lieutenant generals and marshals of the navy came together at that time, it would not be possible to do it!"

"..."

Ace was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"Very shocked? Very confused? Why didn't the world notice this? Why would One Piece surrender?"

"The world is forgetful--no one cares about the dead One Piece."

Wright sighed, sat next to Ace, and patted him on the back.

"Four years before the public execution, Roger had already suffered from an incurable disease-he arrived in Lovedrew with a terminal illness!"

"Incurable disease..." Ace murmured, he had been completely blown up by the secret news one after another thrown by Wright.

"Yes. Roger knew that time was running out. After returning from Lovedrew, he made some arrangements and surrendered to the Navy, and..."

Wright glanced at Ace deeply: "Entrust you to Old Man Cap!"

"Entrust your blood to the enemy who has fought him for a lifetime, Old Man Karp!"

"..."

Ace came back to his senses and bit his lip: "So, why did he let me be born in the world!"

"He wants you to inherit his will and expose the truth of the world to the world!"

"He discovered the truth that has been hidden by the World ZF for 800 years. He understands that the world has been deceived by huge lies for 800 years... He understands what kind of sacrifice is required to reveal all this!"

Wright said seriously: "If he is not terminally ill, if he has enough time, if..."

"But he didn't. He was born in the wrong era and can only pin his hopes in this era!"

"What Roger did was to shake the foundation of the 800-year rule of the world ZF. Therefore, the world ZF was afraid. They wanted to brand Roger as the most evil person, and let the world continue to be immersed in this stagnant water. Waves!"

"But who is Roger? He is the king of pirates! He made a desperate move and stirred up the stagnant water with his own death, so that the world ZF has no ability to eliminate the waves!"

Wright stared at the speechless Ace: "Whether to inherit his will, you have the final say."

"But you must know that what you have always thought is that your blood is not simply'evil', it can be summed up!"

Ace was stunned for a while, and suddenly burst into tears, and then whispered in a low voice: "There are also...'freedom' and'resistance', is it... the pursuit of the truth?"

Karp never told Ace about Roger.

Since Ace is sensible, he has been like ordinary people—the Roger he knows is the Roger who has been "wrapped" by the world ZF in the eyes of the world!

If Shanks came to the East China Sea back then, I knew that Ace was on Mount Kolbo not far away...

Perhaps Ace will not go to extremes hates his own life experience very much!

"So, Ace...you are free, you don't need to hate the so-called bloodline-Sabo and I are also from nobles. Both Sabo and I hate nobles, but we don't hate our own origin!"

"You can't decide when you are born, but you can decide your future!"

"Are you going to hate a wrong goal for a lifetime, or do you want to pursue the truth and be free and open-minded, I hope you think it through."

"...Uncle Wright, why do you know so clearly?"

Ace calmed down, and all that Wright said to him almost subverted his cognition over the past ten years.

However, Wright seems to understand more clearly than Karp who has experienced all this!

"Because, although the means are different, my goal is similar to your father..."

"So, I pay attention to some hidden details."

"What Roger did has really caused great harm to the world. The number of pirates was catalyzed to the peak by him!"

"So, I don't agree with his methods. If I were born in an era with him, I must make him pay the price!"

Standing up, Wright met Ace's changing eyes and said seriously:

"But this world does have a problem. It has been polluted by a group of garbage called'Dragon People' for 800 years, and that organization called'World ZF' has obscured the truth of the world for 800 years!"

"People are in the dark and don't know it, because they haven't seen the light in 800 years!"

"But I am different, I...have been bathed in light!"

"I know that the darkness before dawn is the deepest, but the darkness will fade away, and dawn will come!"

Wright raised his right hand, and a golden holy light appeared on the palm of his hand.

"I am the light of hope!"
