Ace's mind was struck by lightning. He never expected Katie's first words to be this.
He wanted to leave, he really wanted to leave, he had been longing to leave ever since he stepped into this place.
However, this wasn't any other place but the world's largest prison. Even if his father came personally, he might not be able to save him. In fact, Ace didn't want his father to appear. The reason why he was still alive was to lure his father out. Ace didn't want his father to be in danger because of him.
"You, you're willing to save me?"
Ace didn't realize that his voice was trembling at this moment. The surprise came too suddenly, so Ace couldn't react in time.
Before this, Ace had also thought of praying to Katie, but he saw that Katie had a disdainful attitude towards other people's prayers from the beginning to the end, so he gave up his original plan.
Who would have thought that just as he chose to give up, Katie would actually take the initiative to look for him. This sudden surprise really shocked him.
"I'm willing to let you go, but you have to promise me something.”
Faced with Katie's answer, Ace's originally excited mood gradually calmed down. Sure enough, there was no free lunch in the sky. He, who had no relationship with him, would not save him for no reason.
"If you intend to harm father and the White Beard Pirates, then there's no need to say anything. I won't agree to anything!”
At this moment, Ace took it for granted that Katie was someone who coveted his father's position and rejected her without even asking.
"Mr. Ace, I haven't said what I want you to agree to. Why do you think I want to harm White Beard? I might even be your ally.”
Katy was also helpless. She didn't seem like a good person, yet Ace rejected her without even asking.
"Mr. Katie, what exactly do you want Ace to agree to?”
This time, it was not Ace who spoke, but Shen Ping. Ever since Katie appeared, he had been staring at her without stopping. Now, he could not help but ask.
"It's very simple. After I let him out, I can't expose his tracks, and I can't let anyone recognize him, because I'll be here in his place.”
"What, what a joke!"
Katie's nonchalant tone was too unconvincing. Both Ace and Shenping thought he was joking.
"I'm serious. I'm not joking.”
His tone was still indifferent, but his eyes were clear and transparent.
"Why? Why do you have to do this?"
Ace really couldn't understand. He didn't know this young man who was younger than him at all. He couldn't figure out why he did this. It was completely unnecessary.
Not to mention how he disguised himself, just the danger he faced was enough to make people despair. What welcomed him was not a gentle home, but a public execution!
"Because I promised Luffy that I would save you.”
Ace was slightly stunned. He never thought that the reason would be because of Luffy. When he suddenly heard Luffy's name, Ace felt a warmth in his heart.
"Luffy, is he alright?"
Even though he was in a terrible and dangerous situation, Ace still couldn't help but worry for Luffy.
"He's fine. Although he was badly beaten up by Magellan, we've found a way to cure him. He'll wake up soon.”
Hearing this, he felt a little relieved. As long as she was fine, it was fine.
"Then why didn't you just let me go? Then everything would be fine.”
Even so, Ace still didn't understand why Katie would disguise herself as him. There was clearly a safer way, so why didn't she use it?
"Because I want to see war come.”
"Why? What benefits does war bring you?"
The moment Katie finished speaking, Shen Ping questioned.
Obviously, he couldn't understand Katie's reasoning. What good could war bring other than disaster and destruction?
"As pirates, do you really need a reason to start a war?”
In the face of their doubts, Katie gave them an irrefutable reason. At this time, she could only say this. After all, the existence of the system could not be exposed no matter what.
However, this random reason was surprisingly useful. As a pirate, there was no need for a reason to start a war. It was just like when others asked you why you liked someone. There was no reason at all.
"You're making use of Dad, making use of the White Beard Pirates!”
After listening to Katie's explanation, the one who had the most intense reaction was the Sea Warrior Shenping of the Sea of Seven Martial Arts. As a murloc, he had seen too many misfortunes brought about by war.
It was also because of this that he strongly opposed the upcoming war and was captured by the navy.
Therefore, when he heard Katie's reason, his reaction was the most intense.
Compared to Shen Ping, Ace's reaction was much calmer.
He had been like this when he first debuted. He was fearless and even arrogantly challenged White Beard. It was not that he did not understand Katie's thoughts.
Katie laughed, amused by Shen Ping's words.
"Use? Shenping, do you really think I'm using White Beard?”
"Isn't that so?"
Shen Ping was equally furious at Katie's " unconsciousness."
"Alright, let me ask you. If it weren't for me, would this war not have broken out?”
Katy asked before Shen Ping could answer.
"If it weren't for me, do you really think Ace would have survived?”
"Do you really think White Beard would have survived without me? I heard that there was a prophet called Madam Charley on Fishmen Island. I don't believe that she didn't predict what would happen next. You should know the outcome better than me!”
"Otherwise, you wouldn't be here!”
"Compared to White Beard, isn't my situation more dangerous? Why don't you tell me how I used White Beard?”
"Shen Ping, is what he said true? Did that Madam Charley really make a prophecy for Father? Tell me what the result is! Shen Ping!"
Hearing Katie's words, Ace could no longer remain calm. Ever since he was defeated by Blackbeard, he had been prepared to face any situation.
The only thing he couldn't stand was his family getting hurt because of him.
Faced with Ace's question, Extreme Peace fell silent. He didn't know how to answer Ace because the result was just as Katie had said. It was precisely because of this that he strongly opposed this war.
"Katie, I'll do anything you want me to do. Please, let me out.”
At this moment, Ace's heart was filled with endless anger. His silence had already explained everything. He would never allow such a situation to happen. No one could even think of targeting his father. Kaido, who was also one of the four emperors, could not do it, and neither could the navy headquarters.
The resolute Ace directly begged Katie to let him go. He wanted to go out, fight, and protect the dignity of the White Beard Pirates. His originally silent heart became fiery again.
