Chapter 92: 92. Chaotic New World, Big Cake Whitebeard Sea Area!
Garp fixed his gaze on Ace, his own eyes reflecting doubt. He had witnessed countless events on the sea during his time, including encounters with figures like Madara and Hashirama. These experiences led Garp to consider the possibility that Ace might have relatives out in the world.
With these thoughts in mind, he approached Ace, intending to broach the topic. Did Ace have any kin in the vast expanse of the sea? Even back when he had taken custody of Ace from Rouge, the young child was still an infant. Time had passed, and Garp remained uncertain whether anyone had ever discovered Ace's existence.
Ace's expression mirrored his confusion as Garp spoke of these potential connections. The threads of Garp's words, particularly those involving someone named Natalia, appeared to have a certain significance to Ace. There was an air of suspicion, as Natalia seemed to be linked to him in some manner. This was peculiar, given that Natalia's appearances had been concentrated in the New World, yet she had ventured all the way to the Grand Line to confront Blackbeard.
Garp's line of thinking seemed to be infectious, as Ace too began to contemplate the reasons behind Natalia's actions. But amidst these musings, Ace's mind wandered through his life, from childhood to adulthood, and he couldn't recall encountering any relatives. This led him to consider his identity as the son of the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger.
Ace's feelings towards Roger were complex. He had grown up resenting him for the brief time Roger spent with his mother Rouge before her death, which resulted in Ace's birth. His emotions were compounded by the fact that Rouge had passed away due to the circumstances of his birth. This had fueled Ace's resentment towards his own lineage.
As he looked back on his life, Ace's introspection led him to conclude that he had never heard of or seen any relatives, let alone his father's legacy. The idea that he might have kin out there felt unlikely to Ace, and he voiced his skepticism. Why would he suddenly have relatives, and why would Garp, of all people, know about them?
Garp's eyes held a complicated mix of understanding and acknowledgment as he listened to Ace's words. The young man's reasoning was sound; if anyone would know about Ace's potential relatives, it would be Garp. This recognition seemed to resonate with Garp, and he nodded in agreement.
Indeed, Ace's logic was irrefutable. As Garp had known him for his entire life, it was highly unlikely that Ace had relatives who had remained hidden all this time. The two shared a moment of mutual understanding, with Garp acknowledging Ace's point of view.
With the conversation concluded, Garp left Ace's cell and straightened the bars, seemingly unaffected by the intense curiosity of the surrounding pirates. These onlookers were eager for information, hoping to glean insights from Ace's interaction with Garp. However, Ace remained silent, indifferent to their questions and curses.
As the pirates' attention remained fixed on Ace, Jinbei approached him with a comforting demeanor. He assured Ace that despite the situation, his father would come to his rescue. Ace's silence persisted, but Jinbei's words seemed to provide a modicum of solace.
Amidst the chaos of New World, where various pirate factions were vying for dominance, the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates initiated their attacks on the Whitebeard Sea. This event had been long anticipated, and the conflict escalated rapidly as forces clashed.
Meanwhile, at Marine Headquarters, Sengoku convened a meeting with the Admirals, with Garp in attendance. The Admirals discussed the ongoing events in the New World, analyzing the impact of the pirate battles. Garp's demeanor was reflective, his thoughts likely influenced by his recent encounter with Ace.
The chaos in the Whitebeard Sea was palpable, with pirates vying for control over the territory. Amidst this turmoil, Madara and Hashirama continued to oversee their own operations from the Golden City, Gran Tesoro. They held a commanding position in the underground world, orchestrating a new order.
However, Madara and Hashirama's inaction in claiming the Whitebeard territory puzzled their followers and allies. Despite their significant power, the two seemed focused on the underground world rather than the core Whitebeard Sea area.
Tezolo, who had consolidated much of the underground world under their influence, was also baffled by this decision. Despite their tremendous influence, Madara and Hashirama showed no interest in directly confronting the Whitebeard Pirates for territory.
Madara and Hashirama discussed the situation, their gazes meeting as they exchanged unspoken thoughts. It became clear that they had a shared plan in mind. Tezolo offered them information about the ongoing attacks on the Whitebeard Sea, prompting Madara and Hashirama to make a decision. They would take action and confront the Whitebeard Pirates in the core area.
As the two legendary figures prepared to set their plan in motion, the tensions in the New World continued to escalate. While various factions fought for dominance, the overarching struggle between pirates and Marines raged on, setting the stage for the impending battle.
