"Hmm? Gol D. Ace? There's nothing special about that name, it's just that there's a 'D' in the middle!"
Enel leaned against the escalator of the Liberty, pondering the name Mu Chong had introduced.
"No, Enel! This surname may not be common on Skypiea, but it is certainly a remarkable surname on the high seas!"
The moment Mu Chong uttered the name, Slade and Baku fell into deep thought. Was it a coincidence that this surname was combined with the name Ace?
"You're right, Slade! Ace, this guy is that man's son, his biological son!"
Mu Chong stroked the head of the white cat Mu Mu lying beside him, and slowly dropped another bombshell.
"Hiss! This...this is too much...The son of the Pirate King is still alive?"
Upon hearing this, Slad gasped deeply; this news was vastly different from what he had heard before.
Click!
"Hiss, the son of the Pirate King? Then who was that guy's father? Wasn't the Pirate King Roger already dead?"
Enel, who was standing next to him, took a bite of his apple, then seemed to suddenly remember something and asked...
"The 'old man' that guy is talking about is one of the Four Emperors of the New World, Edward Newgate the Whitebeard!"
Slad crossed his arms, and a solemn expression appeared on his face when he uttered the name.
"The Four Emperors of the New World? I remember the captain mentioned that title when we were on Skypiea. Are they that powerful? I really want to try it out!"
Upon hearing that name again, Enel's eyes lit up with excitement, and the restless lightning began to wreak havoc once more.
"Tch, shipwright! He's one of the Four Emperors of the New World, possessing terrifying strength. You're no match for him right now!"
Slade was amused by Enel's words. He glanced at him, made a sarcastic remark, and then adjusted himself into a more comfortable position to sit down.
"Hahahaha! There's no need for that, everyone. It's not important to us whose son that guy is. Whether it's Pirate King Roger or Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, it's not something we can care about right now!"
"Enel, Slard is right. You have no chance of winning against Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, right now. The title of the strongest man isn't just for show, hahaha. But what does it matter? We're still young. The path to becoming a strongman has only just begun. As long as we keep improving our strength, one day we'll be able to face those strongmen of the old era and compete with them! Hahaha!"
As Mu Chong spoke, he slowly stood up. Facing his two trusted companions, he knew he had to encourage them. Otherwise, how could they not have the courage to face the strong?
"Hahaha! Don't worry, Captain, one day I, Slade, will surpass him!"
Slad's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said with utmost solemnity.
"Tch! One of the Four Emperors? I'm really looking forward to it! Hey, Slade, didn't you want to learn Observation Haki? Come on, I'll teach you, but you have to teach me Armament Haki first!"
Enel sighed, then pulled Slard to the training area on the deck and began sparring.
Baku, who had been squinting, immediately opened his eyes and followed Enel after hearing his words.
"Hehehe! Everyone's so energetic! I'll go prepare some food for you!"
Elsa covered her mouth and laughed, then ran into the kitchen to start preparing the ingredients for tonight's dinner.
Snapped!
"Fat Cat, training has begun! Stop pretending to be asleep!"
Mu Chong slapped the cat on the head, forcibly waking it up, then ignored the bewildered white cat Mu Mu and went to its designated training spot.
"Meow!!!"
The white cat Mumu let out a loud meow to express its dissatisfaction, but then still trotted after Mu Chong and walked over.
hum!
The next moment, a white ripple instantly enveloped the entire deck of the Freedom. Mu Chong activated his Power-Power Fruit ability, and a powerful gravity reappeared on the deck.
The Freedom cruised on the calm sea, the sun slowly casting its glare away. Apart from the occasional shout from the deck, the surrounding sea was remarkably quiet.

Marineford, Headquarters
As night falls and the white moonlight shines through, this magnificent building exudes a dignified and imposing presence.
In a room that was still brightly lit, Fleet Admiral Sengoku was engrossed in processing documents, occasionally glancing up to discuss countermeasures with his staff officer, Tsuru.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and after Sengoku gave permission, a naval soldier entered.
"Report! Marshal, news from Jaya Island!"
The soldier who had just entered immediately gave Sengoku a crisp military salute and began to speak.
"Okay! Put it down!"
Sengoku didn't look up, continuing to work on the document in his hand, as if it were extremely important.
The soldier placed a document he was holding on Sengoku's table and then left.
Seeing that Sengoku still didn't look up, the naval staff officer Tsuru picked up the document about Jaya Island and began to read it.
The crane's initially curious expression slowly began to change, first surprise, then contemplation, and then surprise again, repeating this pattern over and over.
boom!
Just then, Sengoku slammed his fist on the table, his expression one of great anger.
"Hehehe! A dignified naval admiral shouldn't lose his temper so easily. Even when faced with the biggest problems, he should remain calm and composed, as if the sky were falling!"
Seeing Sengoku's reaction, Tsuru gently closed the document in her hand, as if catching up with an old friend, and said to Sengoku...
"Ugh! What a headache! Why are Garp's grandsons so troublesome? First it was Portgas D. Ace, and now it's Monkey D. Luffy. Damn Garp, how did he raise his grandson?"
Sengoku covered his forehead, leaned back in his chair, and fell into a deep sorrow.
"Monkey D. Luffy? He's the son of a dragon!"
He sighed helplessly, remarking that this family was indeed quite eccentric.
"Straw Hat Luffy set sail from Windmill Village in the Goa Kingdom and is currently gathering his crew in the East Blue. He'll be on the Grand Line sooner or later. Tell Garp to send that grandson back to me!"
I no longer wanted to talk about Garp's Sengoku period, so I sat back down in my chair and started flipping through the documents.
"Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach has entered the first half of the Grand Line from the New World and has also found new companions, but the intelligence department still can't figure out what this guy is up to in the Grand Line?"
Sengoku picked up a document, frowned deeply, and said in a heavy tone.
"Blackbeard Teach, who was able to hide on Whitebeard's pirate ship for so long, must have a conspiracy to carry out his sudden defection after killing his comrades. Wandering the Grand Line, searching for crewmates may only be one of his purposes. Have the intelligence department keep a close eye on him and calculate his sailing route. We can't afford to be one step behind every time!"
Crane frowned in thought, completely baffled by Blackbeard Teach's recent meddling.
"Whitebeard's second division commander, Portgas D. Ace, has followed Blackbeard from the New World to the first half of the Grand Line. Once the two meet, a battle is inevitable! Damn it, can't Whitebeard control his own son at all?"
Beneath Sengoku's calm exterior, anger resurfaced; recent events had been making him lose his temper.
"Fire Fist Ace? This is newly delivered intelligence. His most recent appearance was in the waters between Jaya Island and the Kingdom of Alabasta. Perhaps the intelligence department should keep an eye on him. Blackbeard Teach might also be nearby!"
As Tsuru spoke, she handed the document in her hand to Sengoku, who then began to read it.
"Hmm? The hero returned to Jaya Island from Sky Island? He had a brief meeting with Hyena Bellamy before leaving? He seems to be heading to Alabasta? And he met Fire Fist Ace on the high seas, and the two chatted happily? They even had a drink? After a brief sparring match, Fire Fist Ace was defeated?"
The brief intelligence report left Fleet Admiral Sengoku with a head full of question marks.
boom!
"Damn it! What is this hero planning to do?"
