Chapter 158 News about Ace

"It's incredible. I didn't expect you really have the ability to resurrect others." Roger widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief. He looked at his hands moving constantly and couldn't help but sigh.

His eyes were shining with a mixture of surprise and excitement, as if he had just witnessed the most amazing miracle in the world.

Roger recalled what had happened before, with mixed emotions in his eyes.

Although Ling Tian had mentioned this to him before, he still had doubts in his heart at that time and thought it was just a joke and didn't really take it to heart.

But now, witnessing with his own eyes this unimaginable ability working on himself, he was shocked to realize that all this was real. The feeling was truly amazing.

"Really? It seems you didn't believe me before." Hearing Roger's words, Ling Tian curled his lips helplessly and couldn't help but hold his forehead.

There was a hint of resentment on his face, but his eyes revealed his understanding of Roger's reaction.

Ling Tian crossed his arms and continued, "I told you this a long time ago, but you were skeptical. Now you see it."

Roger scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Oh, this is too beyond common sense. I didn't dare to believe it at first, but now I believe it completely. Your ability is too amazing."

As Roger spoke, he patted Ling Tian on the shoulder, his eyes full of gratitude and admiration.

"Compared to this matter, you should take a look at this." Ling Tian's face did not show much expression. He casually threw a wrinkled newspaper to Roger and spoke in a flat tone.

Roger subconsciously reached out to take the newspaper, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He unfolded the newspaper and read it carefully. On the front page of the newspaper, there was a line of eye-catching words: Captain of the Second Division of the Whitebeard Pirates - 'Fire Fist' Ace will be executed after three months.

"Captain of Newgate's Second Division?" Roger's eyes widened slightly, and he muttered to himself as he looked at the information on the newspaper.

He stared at the words, and his mind couldn't help but think of the Whitebeard Pirates. The Whitebeard Pirates were famous on the sea, and Ace, as the captain of the second team, was naturally powerful.

"I didn't expect that those guys in the navy would actually execute the Newgate crew." Roger frowned and murmured in a low voice.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel surprised. Although he didn't have much interaction with Whitebeard Newgate, he had been on the sea for many years and knew Newgate's character and personality.

Newgate attaches great importance to his crew and treats them like family.

Now his crew is facing the crisis of being executed by the navy. Given Newgate's character, that guy will definitely not ignore it after knowing about this matter. A big war is probably inevitable.

"So you want me to help Newgate?" Roger raised his head and looked at Ling Tian with confusion in his eyes.

He really didn't understand Ling Tian's intention of showing him this newspaper. Did he want him to intervene in this matter?

But if this incident really triggers a large-scale war, the situation in the entire ocean will change dramatically. Thinking of this, Roger felt a little worried.

He held the newspaper tightly in his hand, waiting for Ling Tian's answer. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn.

Although he and Newgate had a good friendship and had met each other several times while sailing at sea, and had developed a certain degree of friendship, this matter was of no small importance, as they had to break into the headquarters of the navy.

When one thinks of the iron-clad defenses of the Marine Headquarters and the presence of many top experts, the difficulty and danger of this mission is simply unimaginable.

"That's right, I want you to rescue him." Ling Tian's eyes were extremely firm. He looked straight at Roger and spoke without any doubt.

"Stop joking, we are going to the Navy Headquarters." Hearing Ling Tian's words, Roger jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and couldn't help but retort loudly.

His face was full of shock and disbelief. For any pirate, the Navy Headquarters was like a den of dragons and tigers.

Even someone like himself, who once stood at the top of the pirates, would not dare to easily boast that he could go to the Navy Headquarters and come back alive.

When he was leading the Roger Pirates to roam the sea, perhaps he still had the strength to fight.

But now, Roger's pirate group has been disbanded, and the members have embarked on different paths. Now he is alone, and it is undoubtedly a foolish dream to challenge the Navy Headquarters.

Of course, it would be a different story if Ling Tian also went with them. After all, he had personally experienced Ling Tian's abnormal abilities.

As long as Ling Tian helps, perhaps there is still a chance of success for this matter.

"Really? Then what if I tell you that 'Fire Fist' Ace's full name is 'Portgas D. Ace'?" Hearing Roger's intense reaction, Ling Tian's mouth corners slightly raised, and he couldn't help but chuckled, revealing a hint of cunning in his eyes, and slowly spoke.

The moment Roger heard this last name, he was struck by lightning and froze in place.

His pupils contracted sharply, and the expression on his face became extremely complicated. The name "Portgas D" meant a lot to him.

This news was like a bombshell, causing a huge wave of shock in his heart.

Roger's hands clenched unconsciously, and his eyes flashed with hesitation and struggle. He knew that the emergence of this news made the matter completely different.

“Portcas…” As expected, when Roger heard Ling Tian’s words, the expression on his face froze instantly. He was so shocked that his lips slightly parted, and he spoke in a trembling voice: “Could it be that the child is…”

Roger's eyes were filled with disbelief and complicated emotions, and his heart seemed to skip a beat at this moment.

"Yes, it's your son." Ling Tian looked at Roger's shocked expression and told him Ace's identity without any hesitation.

Although the sound was not loud, it exploded in Roger's ears like thunder.

After hearing that it was his own child, Roger's eyes, which were originally a little confused and hesitant, instantly became extremely determined.

His chest heaved violently, a raging fire burned in his heart, and he asked without hesitation: "When do we leave?"

At this moment, there were no other distracting thoughts in his mind. Before being executed by the navy, he knew deeply that he felt too much guilt and debt to Lu Jiu.

Those years of wandering and adventure had prevented him from giving Lu Jiu the companionship and protection she deserved. Now, their child was facing a life-and-death crisis, and he could not just sit back and watch Ace get into trouble.

That is his bloodline, the continuation of his life, and he must protect it.

"Three months later," Ling Tian stretched out three fingers and spoke solemnly.

"Okay." Roger agreed without any hesitation after hearing Ling Tian's words.

His eyes became sharp and determined, as if he was ready to face any challenge. He secretly swore in his heart that he must rescue Ace from the navy, no matter how great the price.

At this moment, Roger exudes an indomitable momentum. For the sake of his children, he is going to break through the numerous obstacles and challenge the seemingly invincible Navy Headquarters.
