Chapter 766: The Strength of a Miscellaneous Person

...

Gel sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and turned to look at the freckled boy next to him. Setbacks make people grow. After experiencing the baptism of the Battle of Marineford, Ace has obviously matured a lot.

"What do you mean by that?"

Ger asked calmly.

"Brother Ger, I want to stay by your side and help you, to repay you for saving my father, Little Oz, and everyone else."

Ace took off his cowboy hat and bowed politely.

"You are very polite. It is not impossible for me to let you stay. However, you are too weak to help with chores."

"Forehead…"

The corners of Ace's mouth twitched. He did not refute immediately, but he was still a little unconvinced. After all, he was the captain of the Second Division of the Whitebeard Pirates and the third in command of the Imperial Group, but he was not strong enough to do odd jobs?

"Huh? It looks like you're not convinced?"

Ger asked with a smile.

"Brother Geer, Ace is still too young. He needs to hone his strength more."

Marco quickly spoke up to cover.

"It's okay. It's right for young people to be dissatisfied."

Ger stood up and walked over to Yamato.

"This guy is just doing odd jobs around me."

Gel patted Yamato's shoulder, then looked at Ace, raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Yamato, let the young people understand what kind of strength is required for us to do odd jobs."

"No problem! Captain! Leave it to me!"

Yamato clenched his fists excitedly.

Ace looked at the tall, white-haired woman in front of him and said in a serious tone.

"Brother Ge Er, as long as I beat her, it'll be fine, right?"

"That's right. If you beat him, you can stay by my side and help me with things. Also, since you call me brother, if you lose, I can let you stay and accept the beatings from the T0-level instructor. Uh, no, I'll let you be taught carefully."

Gel accidentally let the cat out of the bag.

"I know, I will definitely win."

Ace nodded seriously.

If Gel asked him to fight with Weibull, he would definitely lose, but if the opponent was just a guy he had never heard of, it would be really embarrassing, although he didn't want to hit a woman.

"Come with me, I'll take you to the training ground!"

Yamato hefted the mace onto his shoulder and said impatiently.

After the two walked away, Gel sat back in his fishing position and asked while hanging the bait.

"Xiao Ma, tell me the truth, what does Whitebeard mean by this?"

"That old guy is not still thinking about making Roger's son the Pirate King, is he?"

Marco was stunned for a moment and explained hurriedly.

"No, no, Dad said that the fact that Ace is the bloodline of Pirate King Roger has been made public by the World Government. After the failure of the last public execution, they will definitely not give up."

"Wait, what does this have to do with me?"

Ger interrupted directly.

Marco scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Dad means that if the World Government and the Navy are unwilling to let go of the issue of Roger's bloodline, then no matter whether Dad and our Whitebeard Pirates retire or not, they will definitely come to cause trouble in the future. Although we are not afraid of them, when the two sides fight, Dad will inevitably take action. Once he takes action, the fact that he is still alive will be exposed. Isn't this destined to violate the agreement with you, Brother Gel?"

"Huh? So the solution you finally came up with was to throw this big trouble of Fire Fist Ace to me?"

Ger's eyes widened.

"No, no, how could Ace be trouble!"

"Not only has the old guy gotten better physically, but his brain has also gotten smarter."

"In fact, Whitebeard must know that I don't need helpers of this level. He wants Ace to stay with me, saying that he is here to repay a favor, but in fact he wants me to protect him and prevent the World Government from continuing to attack him."

"Not only that, compared to retiring to the mountains at a young age and burying his talent, Ace can be trained and continue to grow here. Maybe he can become a great man in the future. And this operation is reasonable and does not violate our previous agreement. Whitebeard's calculations are really crackling!"

"It's not that complicated, Brother Geer. I really just want him to help you."

Marco scratched his head tactically.

"Brother Gel, you know that we are now back in our father's hometown, Sphinx Island, and living in seclusion. The brothers may not have other skills after being pirates for so many years, but they have all developed a lot of strength. Ordinary farm work such as planting on the land and fishing at sea is not enough for them. Ace has nothing to do anyway, so asking him to represent our Whitebeard Pirates to help you work can be regarded as a way to repay your great kindness to our Whitebeard Pirates."

Gol narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he didn't believe a word of what Marco said, it didn't matter. Ace was indeed a good candidate. Now the Navy and CP departments had their own people. It wouldn't be a problem to let him stay. Isn't he the bloodline of the Pirate King? It would be best if the Five Elders of the World Government didn't give up. Maybe he could use "Ace" as bait to catch a big fish.

"Hahahaha! You took it down so easily. What an asshole! It's an era now. How come there are still people who can use natural elementalization to resist attacks?"

Yamato's hearty laughter could be heard, and he was obviously in a better mood after the fight.

"Luckily it was me you met. If it was father who did it, you would have to stay in bed for half a month if you didn't die."

Ace walked behind in a mess, and had to listen to Yamato's hurtful words.

"this…"

Marco retracted, saying that this was too fast.

Ace avoided the two men's gazes somewhat embarrassedly, thinking that Ger was deliberately provoking him by saying that he was not strong enough to do odd jobs.

"I lost!"

Aiston paused and spoke honestly.

“Hahaha, don’t be discouraged. You don’t know what kind of training Yamato has to face every day. It’s normal that you can’t beat her now.”

Ger smiled and consoled.

"Brother Ge Er, I want to join the training too!"

Ace said seriously.

"Okay, then you can stay."

Ger smiled.

"Let's go. You must be hungry after the battle. Let's go eat first."

"Great! Let's eat!"

Yamato rushed to the front.

"If there's nothing else, you can go back first."

Seeing that Marco wanted to go too, Gel waved his hand and ordered him to leave.

"Um...Brother Geer, I came all the way here and I'm injured...Can I..."

Marco thought, I'm here now, can't I have a meal before I leave? And last time I just asked them to park the boat far away, this time I finally got to the island, he was still very interested in taking a look around Geer's mysterious lair.

"Well, so remember not to rush over from the sky next time. It would be bad if I accidentally kill you."

Gergo replied with emotional intelligence.

"Well... OK, I'll remember that. I'll be leaving first, Ace. I'll come see you next time. By the way, how should I get to the island correctly then? Brother Gel."

"You can take the merchant ship, but if you have nothing to do, it's best not to come."

Gel said ruthlessly.

"By the way, remember to tell Whitebeard when you go back that I will arrange the best training for Ace. However, my elite crash course has certain risks. Some students just die due to bad luck. If he cares about his son, he should send someone to pick him up as soon as possible."

"Uh...I see."

Marco hesitated to speak.
