Chapter 326: Welcome to the Ranks of the Revolution
Are there any other clan members left?
Saint Saint Saiwen is actually not clear if there are any other Lunarian survivors on the great sea.
Moreover, his Lunarian bloodline was purchased from Shangcheng for 50,000 points back then, but this in no way hinders Saint Saint Saiwen from drawing closer to Ace.
"There should be some left."
"However, in all these years, I have only met you."
Ace hesitated repeatedly before voicing the doubt buried deep in his heart for a long time.
"Where are your wings?"
It is common knowledge that Lunarians are born with a pair of wings on their backs, and the undying flame exists between those wings, yet Saint Saint Saiwen has never revealed the existence of wings.
Saint Saint Saiwen moved his will slightly, and in an instant, a pair of blazing crimson flame wings spread out behind him.
"Perhaps they have mutated.
I am not clear on the specific reason why my wings are different from yours."
To this, Ace felt deeply.
After his parents passed away, Ace was kept by the World Government in the deepest part of a laboratory to be experimented on; regarding the heritage and past of the Lunarians, he knew very little from beginning to end.
Saint Saint Saiwen's current situation is normal; after all, they are both lonely individuals.
"There is a question I have always wanted to ask you."
"Clearly, the Lunarians and the World Government have a blood feud, and our tragic state today is precisely due to the World Government, so why have you become a World Noble, a Celestial Dragon?"
Saint Saint Saiwen did not hide it.
"I just want to delay more time; we are not ready yet."
Telling others the dream of overthrowing the world might carry the risk of leakage, but Ace would not, simply because Ace and the World Government truly have a deep hatred.
"Delay time?" Ace suddenly realized.
"Do you plan to rebel?"
Saint Saint Saiwen shook his head: "Clearly it is a great feat to liberate the whole world, so why would it be rebellion?"
"Revolution and rebellion have an essential difference; what we are conducting is the liberation of the whole world, establishing a world where everyone has enough to eat."
"So." Saint Saint Saiwen changed the subject.
"My clansman, are you willing to lend me a hand?"
Ace was more than willing.
The experience of being locked in a dark laboratory as a child, having blood drawn for experiments, lingered like a nightmare.
If the World Government could be overthrown to avenge the Lunarians, Ace was willing to pay any price.
"I am willing." Ace did not hesitate.
"Master Saint Saint Saiwen, on the day you are ready, I will leave the Beasts Pirates and join the ranks of liberating the whole world."
Big Brother Kaido, I am sorry.
The hatred of clan extermination must be avenged.
Ace realized this might be the only opportunity in his life; once missed, there would never be another chance to break into the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
What if it fails?
It is nothing but death.
Saint Saint Saiwen extended his hand: "Brother, welcome to the ranks of the revolution."
Why not invite Ace to join the Morning Star Group directly? Because now is not the time.
Anyway, with Yamato present, sooner or later the entire Beasts Pirates will belong to Saint Saint Saiwen; after having a few more chubby sons, even old man Kaido won't be able to escape.
Given the current state of the Lunarians, Saint Saint Saiwen offered a suggestion.
"Brother, I think you should get married."
"Have a few more children to continue the Lunarian bloodline; even if we fail in the future, the Lunarian bloodline will still remain."
Hearing this, Ace suddenly looked embarrassed.
He is already twenty-nine years old; he indeed should get married and have children to continue the bloodline.
But being in the Beasts Pirates, surrounded entirely by big men, where could he find a wife to have children? The only one matching his height and build, Black Maria, was sent to Wano by Big Brother Kaido.
I wonder who will get the benefit in the future.
Exhausting all his learning, Ace finally managed to save a bit of dignity regarding his single status.
"The great work is not yet accomplished; how can I have a home?"
How could Ace not want to start a family? However, the persecution of the Lunarians by the World Government was so brutal that it was unprecedented and unrepeatable.
Not only did they launch a war of extermination, slaughtering almost all clan members, but they also issued a high bounty: anyone who reports the whereabouts of a Lunarian could receive a bounty of 100 million Berries.
The sole survivor, Ace.
Was also locked in the deepest laboratory, day after day studied by the World Government regarding his bloodline, physique, and abilities.
The glory of the God's Kingdom, the existence of the Lunarians, was also completely erased from history.
In this case, how could Ace dare to start a family?
If not for meeting Big Brother Kaido, he could not even protect himself; even to survive, he had to use the Ancient Species: Pteranodon form to hide his wings.
Once he had a family, it would only bring a high bounty and endless pursuit.
Ace does not want to love.
He dares not love, cannot love, and has no qualification to love.
"It will all pass." Saint Saint Saiwen retracted his flame wings: "Short term, a year or half a year; long term, three to five years; everything will pass."
Ace put the mask back on, concealing the white hair characteristic of the Lunarians.
"Should I... tell Kaido?"
No gratitude outweighs the grace of saving a life; Kaido did save King, which is why King was unwilling to deceive Kaido.
"In a while," Saint Saint Saiwen smiled.
"I will go find Kaido and talk to him myself; by then, it will not be too late for you to tell him."
In fact, the past few years were not suitable for revealing one's true hand to old Kaido, but with the table-flipping drawing ever closer, Saint Saint Saiwen no longer cared about his reputation.
If people slander me for playing the role of a nurturer, then let them.
As long as I can tie old Kaido to the ship, a bit of reputation is hardly worth mentioning; on the day I become King of the World, great scholars will naturally debate the scriptures for me.
"Very well," King nodded.
While the two surviving Lunarians negotiated, inside the administration hall of the General's Mansion, Vergo returned to the organization under another identity.
Master Tenghu personally poured tea for Vergo.
"Brother Vergo."
"This old brother has always looked down on everyone; there are very few people I truly admire, and you certainly count as one!"
As a core member of the Morning Star Crew, Master Tenghu knew Vergo's legendary experiences by heart.
Vergo was originally a Celestial Dragon on the run from the North Blue—the first-generation Corazon of the Donquixote Family under Doflamingo.
First, he was ordered by Doflamingo to go undercover in the Navy.
Because he performed excellently in the Navy and was of suitable age, he was valued by Fleet Admiral Sengoku and dispatched to go undercover in the Morning Star Crew.
Thereafter, he served as an intern in the Morning Star Crew and was eventually assigned by the Captain to go undercover in the Beasts Pirates, during which he not only relayed countless important intelligence reports.
He also led Kaido and the Beasts Pirates by the nose.
Under the guise of an intern, Vergo became a core executive of the Beasts Pirates in just a few short years, one of the Three Calamities: the Disaster of Drought.
He is fully worthy of the title Legendary King of Undercover Agents.
"This old brother is being modest," Vergo said with a smile, waving his hand.
"I am merely a small soldier under the Captain; wherever the Captain needs me, that is where I go."
"Moreover," Vergo sighed.
"The money the Captain has given me over these years is enough that I could not spend it all even in ten lifetimes, or a hundred lifetimes."
With the Captain's generosity as a precedent, it only highlights Fleet Admiral Sengoku's stinginess; after years of undercover work, he did not even promote him, simply too stingy to bear.
Master Tenghu smiled with satisfaction and took a Devil Fruit from a wooden crate on his back.
"Brother Vergo."
"The Captain specifically instructed this old brother to give it to you."
