Chapter 485 Little Ace

Little Ace gritted his teeth, which had not yet fully grown, and stared warily at Lex and Gion, the 'uninvited guests'.

It was the arrival of these two people that made the mother cry!

Lex lowered his head and noticed the tiny Ace that was not even as tall as his knees. He immediately squatted down and explained with a faint smile:

"We didn't make your mother cry, it was your father who made her cry."

Little Ace is only one and a half years old this year. Because of Lex's intervention, the widow left behind by Roger after his execution was not hunted down in the South China Sea by the World Government in a high-profile manner. Therefore, Lu Jiu did not have to endure tremendous pain and torture and be pregnant for nearly two years before giving birth to Ace as in the original plot.

And because the World Government has not investigated the whereabouts of Rouge and her son, Rouge and Ace have been living safely on Batalila Island, and Ace does not have his mother's surname.

Gol D. Ace.

Ace has always known his own name, but Lu Ju told Ace not to reveal his last name in public, and if anyone asked, he should say it was Portgas D. Ace.

Little Ace couldn't even read the newspaper, and his mother never told him anything about his father. She only told him that his father was a great man, but he had some unspeakable secrets that prevented him from being by his side.

The place where Luju and her son lived was on the edge of Baterila Island, so little Ace had never seen any outsiders. At the age of one and a half, he didn't even know that his father was the famous Pirate King Roger, let alone what that meant.

The innocent and cute little Ace tilted his head, revealing his smooth forehead beneath his black side bangs:

"Really? Then why did my father make my mother cry?"

Gion was comforting the sorrowful Ruju, while Rex picked up the confused little Ace, stood up, and lifted him up, saying frankly:

"Because your father is a huge asshole and a really stupid, stupid, stupid idiot. Got it, Ace?"

Ace's mouth immediately dropped open, his innocent and clear eyes unable to conceal his panic and confusion. He quickly asked:

"But Mom said Dad was a great man. Although she didn't tell me what he did, she didn't call him a big fool. Are you lying to me?"

Rex held little Ace in his arms, looked at Lu Jiu, whose crying had gradually subsided, and said reminiscingly:

"No, your father is indeed great, but also a jerk and an idiot. There's no contradiction, Ace... But none of this matters anymore. What matters is that your uncle wants to take you out for some delicious food!"

Ace's big, silly eyes widened as he exclaimed, "Delicious! Uncle, do you have anything delicious? I want bread. I only eat sea fish every day. I want sweet black bread!"

When Ace said this, Gion was slightly stunned, and Lu Jiu immediately lowered her head in embarrassment. Roger didn't leave much Bailey before he left without saying goodbye. Although a large sum of Bailey was sent from somewhere later, Lu Jiu had always been frugal and saved a lot of money for Ace. No matter what the child wanted to do in the future, Lu Jiu could at least do something for him on behalf of his bastard father.

Pity the parents of the world.

So from birth until now, the sweetest things Ace has ever eaten, apart from Lu Jiu's breast milk, are the rare black bread and malt sugar. However, although malt sugar is sweet, it does not fill him up, and he does not eat it often.

Lu Jiu said, "Although his father left a lot of Bailey, he can't just sit back and enjoy it all."

Lex read Gion's mind a little and understood the situation thoroughly. After exchanging a glance with Gion, Lex showed a rare expression of regret and miscalculation, and patted his forehead.

"Although I thought Roger was a jerk, I didn't expect him to be such a jerk. He told me that I didn't need to care about the child until he was ten years old, and after that I just needed to give him a chance to go to sea. Damn, this jerk~"

Lex is very responsible. What Roger told him before he died was to let Lu Jiu and her son live a happy and carefree life for ten years. After the child is ten years old, he will go to find Lu Jiu and her son, tell them the truth about Roger opening up a new world, and let the child make his own choice, whether to go to sea or live an ordinary life.

Lex didn't wait until Ace turned ten, and came looking for him this year. As expected, the words of that old bastard Roger can't be trusted at all.

What can you do with the millions of Baileys you left? You even boasted that you would let Lu Jiu and her son live a happy and worry-free life for ten years.

Lex was too weak to complain about the legendary old bastard and scumbag Roger.

Holding little Ace, Lu Jiu and Gion, Rex waved his hand and said:

"There are some of the best restaurants in the entire ocean on the West Sea Gourmet Island. Ace, do you want to try them?~"

“I want to!!~”

The azure light flashed and disappeared, and the four disappeared into the stone courtyard. Lu Jiu exclaimed, "The clothes were confiscated!~"

Gion patted Lu Jiu's wrist and said gently, "It's okay, he's done it."

He is naturally Lex. Even though he is now the leader of Qinghai, Lex still remains true to his original aspirations and treats people and things with the same thoroughness, gentleness and courtesy.

Ace was held in Lex's arms, his little head looking around at the magical scene in the alien space. The star-blue light was like the brilliance from the sea of stars, lingering and flowing in the alien space that seemed to have no end. Ever since Lex's space fruit awakened for the second time and completely merged with himself, even the way the blue light in the alien space moved seemed extremely magical, as if it contained the most primitive mysteries and laws.

Leon Lex, who possesses the five elements (power of space, power of soul, ultimate physique, divine dominance, and the strongest swordsmanship) and has become a god in all aspects, could have swept across Qinghai with two long swords, shattered the red earth continent with a single air explosion, and wiped out all historical filth.

But he didn't do so. In the past few years, many people (led by Xia Nuo) have been whispering in Lex's ears, asking why he didn't take advantage of the situation to pursue and conquer Qinghai, why he had to be so cautious, and whether he had lost the ambition to unify the new world as soon as he set out to sea?

Lex patiently explained to these people that if Qinghai was cleared by sheer force, it would only end up falling into another historical quagmire.

Only by giving back to the world, opening up Qinghai, and riding the waves of the great rise of the sea, can we embrace the future created by everyone on this ocean. Lex himself is already very free, and his dream when he set sail was just this. Now, what Lex wants to do in Qinghai, can anyone stop him? Does anyone dare to stop him? Perhaps, unless he is willing to risk his life.

Then Lex's pursuit of a higher level has undoubtedly deviated from his own definition of freedom. Only the freedom of all the people in Qinghai is Lex's original intention to return his life to the world.

Perhaps these people don’t understand, of course, they only don’t understand temporarily. When the era of freedom pioneered by Lex is completely arrived and the ultimate goal of the era of great rise is completely completed, they will always understand.

Lex is not afraid of time. Time is poison to ordinary people. Even Im is just on par with time.

While he was daydreaming, Lex and his three companions had already arrived at the West Sea Gourmet Island.

It was the first time for little Ace to come to an island other than Batalila Island. He looked around curiously, and the aroma of delicious food coming from the pavilion in front of him made little Ace's mouth water.

"Can you eat all the delicious food on this island today?"

Lex asked little Ace with a smile.

Little Ace nodded vigorously, then shook his head: "Yes - it seems not possible, it's already very late today."

Lex laughed heartily, and Gion and Luju also laughed heartily at little Ace's innocent words.

"Hmm, hahaha. Then tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, uncle will accompany you to eat all over this delicious island!~"

"Yeah!~"

Lex has the obligation and responsibility to compensate old bastard Roger for what he owes to little Ace, because this era of great rise was created by Lex and Roger together.
