Chapter 528 Ace, the Death of Sabo!

Xia Chen looked at the old man's back and slowly walked towards him.

"How bizarre! A navy hero would actually look for a pirate like me!"

Xia Chen came to the old man and sat down on the edge of the cliff.

That’s right, this old man is Karp!

Xia Chen turned his head and saw that Karp's eyes were dark and lifeless, just like a walking corpse.

"Karp, what are you doing?"

Karp remained silent, and did not speak until Xia Chen became a little impatient. Then he asked lifelessly:

"Did you know that Ace and Sabo are dead?"

"What?!!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Chen's expression suddenly changed, and an unknown light flashed in his eyes.

After a moment of silence and digesting the news, Xia Chen regained his composure and asked calmly:

"When did it happen? Who did it?"

"Yesterday! World Government!"

After saying that, Garp fell into silence again, and after a while he continued:

"Zhan Guo also told me this news!"

"I came back to Windmill Village a few days ago and wanted to stay here for a while, but I didn't expect to hear this news all of a sudden!"

"I don't know what the World Government went crazy for yesterday. They launched a crazy attack on the remnants of Whitebeard with the force of thunder!"

"And Sabo happened to be with Ace, so in the end they..."

At this point, Cap paused for a moment before continuing:

"No one survived! All the pirates on that island died in a pool of blood!"

"..."

Xia Chen was silent, and then said:

"How many troops did the World Government dispatch? It's not easy to defeat the Whitebeard Pirates, and Sabo is also there!"

"Sabo's strength is no less than that of the admiral of the navy, and he is even stronger than the admiral!"

"The World Government actually has this kind of background?"

There was doubt in Xia Chen's tone.

Thanks to his joining, the Whitebeard Pirates did not suffer much damage in the war at the top.

The main forces have basically all been retained.

Each of those captains is very strong, and it is not easy to defeat them.

Not to mention that there is Sabo, whose strength is not inferior to the Four Emperors.

After Sabo broke free from Im's control in Dressrosa, the three colors of domineering were significantly improved, all reaching the king level.

Coupled with the power of the Storm Fruit, there are not many people in this world who can defeat him.

I didn't expect that it would be wiped out by the World Government.

"I am not sure!"

Cap shook his head.

"The World Government's actions were not told to the Navy, and Sengoku only received the news after the war was over!"

"Xia Chen, tell me...what is the purpose of my life?"

"I am a marine, but my sons and grandsons are all against me!"

"Now my son is gone, and two of my three grandsons are dead. Tell me...is it really the right path for me to choose to become a marine?"

. . . .

"Do you think you should ask me that question?"

"You are over seventy years old, and I am only seventeen! If you ask me about something that requires life experience, I can't give you an answer!"

"But if you do as I say..."

"you are right!"

"At least you can protect yourself by becoming a marine, otherwise you would have died in front of them long ago!"

"Besides...their deaths have nothing to do with whether you are a marine or not!"

"You have your own sense of justice in your heart, so you chose to join the navy!"

"Of course! This is just your experience over the past few years. It's up to you what you do with the rest of your old bones!"

Hearing this, Karp couldn't help but smile bitterly and said:

"Your strength is so much beyond ours that I didn't even consider you as a junior for a moment, so I couldn't help asking you this question!"

"So...you asked me to come over in Den Den Mushi just to tell me these things?"

Xia Chen looked at Karp and asked calmly.

"These are just part of it. The main reason is that I want to ask you a favor!"

Karp suddenly turned around and looked at Xia Chen and spoke seriously.

"Ah!"

"You, a marine, are asking me to do something for you, a pirate? Are you kidding me?"

Hearing this, Karp didn't say anything, but slowly stood up and just looked at Xia Chen.

The next second—

"please!"

Karp bent down and bowed to Xia Chen.

"you……"

Seeing Karp like this, Xia Chen was overwhelmed with emotions for a moment.

To be honest, his attitude towards Garp couldn't be described as bad, but it was definitely not good either.

But if we look at it from the perspective of justice alone, then Cap is indeed a staunch defender of justice.

Of course, not justice for the Navy!

But it is the justice that he himself upholds!

For example, in the original work, he is a navy and has the identity of a navy.

No matter how much he struggled inside, he could only watch Ace die in front of him.

But after the Deserter King was captured by Blackbeard, he rushed into the Beehive Island without hesitation just to save the Deserter King.

Let's be honest! Xia Chen disagreed with this point.

Who can I save? I have to save the deserter king!

Well, he admitted that he had a lot of complaints about Garp because of the Deserter King.

Fortunately, the Deserter King had already been killed by him, otherwise he might have run to the Marine Headquarters to kill him again.

Xia Chen felt sick when he saw an unharmed soldier stopping a blood-soaked general from killing the enemy.

After a long time, Xia Chen finally spoke:

"Tell me, what is it?"

"I'll consider it if I think it's appropriate!"

Karp slowly raised his head, looked at Xia Chen and said solemnly:

"I've already lost my son and two grandchildren, I can't lose the last one, so..."

"I want you to protect Luffy. I don't want to lose him again!"

"If you say that, then there's no need!"

Hearing this, Xia Chen shook his head and said calmly:

"Luffy is my captain, and I won't watch anything happen to him without you telling me!"

"With me here, no one can do anything to him!"

"As for Ace's death..."

"The World Government won't be so arrogant for long!"

"I'll be there to eat them all up in one pot soon!"

"So... you don't have to do anything out of the ordinary, old man!"

"Ace is also my brother. If he dies, I will naturally help him get revenge, but not now!"

"You want to take on the World Government alone?"

Hearing this, Garp's eyes widened and he said in disbelief.

"Any questions?"

Xia Chen asked calmly.

"..."

Karp was silent for a while before he said:

"From what I know, the World Government has a Celestial Dragon King hiding behind the scenes, whose status is higher than that of the Five Elders! His strength should also be terrifying!"

"It's just Im! Small problem!"

Xia Chen replied calmly, and after hearing the name, Karp showed an expression of extreme horror on his face.
