Luffy, his little brother, sitting beside him, secretly stuffing meat into his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Munch, munch... The meat Shirogai and Sanji made for Ace is amazing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to him, Chopper flailed in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luffy! Stop eating! That's recovery food! Ace needs that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy… I didn't expect to see you again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ace's eyes softened. A small smile broke across his face. He sat up and grinned at his brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oi, Luffy! Are you stealing my meat?! Want me to beat you up?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy flinched, chewing quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah! No! Chopper ate it all! Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up and realizing Ace was awake, Luffy's eyes sparkled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha! Ace! You're finally awake! Quick, eat some meat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish! Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Ace could react, Luffy shoved five or six large meat bones into his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"GULP—GULP—COUGH! COUGH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ace began choking, eyes bulging. He almost suffocated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh! Luffy, stop feeding him! He's choking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chopper smacked Ace's back until the meat finally slid down. Ace gasped, then grabbed Luffy by the neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You brat! You trying to kill your own brother?! I'll strangle you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy flailed helplessly, his tongue hanging out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chopper! Help! I was wrong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chopper spun in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh! He's being strangled to death! Someone call a doctor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commotion echoed to the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami, reading a newspaper, looked toward Shirogai, who was repainting the Going Merry's mast with Usopp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirogai, Ace seems to be awake. Aren't you worried he'll pick a fight again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if he's Luffy's brother, he's still the Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You beat him. Won't that cause trouble with the Whitebeard Pirates?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Nami, who had sailed mostly in East Blue, understood what it meant to cross a crew under one of the Four Emperors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi looked anxious too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirogai San… The Whitebeard Pirates… That's one of the Four Emperors. Is it really okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp, still holding a paintbrush, puffed out his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch, cowards! The Second Division Commander couldn't even beat Shirogai. What's there to be afraid of?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi added softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whitebeard is said to be the strongest man in the world. Some say he's so terrifying, he can destroy an island with his bare hands…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Destroy an island… with his bare hands?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp's nose drooped, his bravado instantly gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirogai, maybe we should just… apologize?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we kneel humbly enough, maybe they won't squash us like ants…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Usopp! Pick a side already!\" Sanji barked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai calmly painted the mast and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax. Ace isn't that kind of guy. Whitebeard's son must be a man of honor. Isn't that right, Ace?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, you got that right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ace's voice came from the cabin as he walked out, laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, I won't hold a grudge. And Whitebeard? He wouldn't care about something this small.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ace approached Shirogai on the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two locked eyes. Their fists clenched—and ignited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flames burst around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panic erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh no, not again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji stepped forward. Zoro's hand moved to his sword. Usopp dropped to the floor and pretended to faint. Chopper spun in circles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop it, you two! Please don't fight again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of clashing…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their flaming fists touched lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ace laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, Shirogai, I misjudged you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He threw an arm around Shirogai's shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're nothing like that bastard Teach. You're solid. Just like Luffy said.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luffy's judgment isn't half bad,\" Shirogai said with a relaxed grin, blowing out the black flames licking his knuckles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I'll admit something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, I used the ability of the [Talent-Talent Fruit] to copy a Devil Fruit. I made you transfer some of your hatred for Teach onto me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why your rage was so strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ace blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that's what it was. I did feel something off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scratched his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Was that your Talent-Talent Fruit? So you can copy Devil Fruits too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I used it to replicate a devil fruit that lets me read and influence thoughts. Not permanent, just enough to test your response.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crew collectively exhaled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami whispered angrily to Luffy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luffy! You said Shirogai's ability was a secret!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy scratched his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh? Ace isn't an outsider! He's my brother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ace suddenly grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Shirogai, why not join the Whitebeard Pirates? You'd make a great ally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned to the Straw Hats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys too. Why not join us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire crew—Shirogai, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper, Nami—shook their heads immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Usopp accidentally nodded, then panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wha—No! That was muscle reflex!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ace roared with laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Figured. I knew you'd refuse. Just had to ask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai ruffled Luffy's straw hat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ace, don't forget. Luffy's going to be Pirate King, not Whitebeard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro and Sanji added in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy beamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ace grinned and leapt up onto the Going Merry's railing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then we'll settle it one day! Catch this, Luffy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He threw a small piece of paper through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy caught it, examining it curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai tucked it into Luffy's hat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Vivre Card. It'll lead us to Ace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ace smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That paper will help us meet again.
