Chapter 146

Title: Tribulation Ace

....

[Last night]

It was night. In Maccurine Kingdom, in a seaside town, the Spade Pirates are resting in an inn. They plan to stay here until there is news about Amon, both negative and positive.

O-Tama was in the room with Perry, sleeping soundly beside her.

Suddenly, lightning struck as the silhouette of a young man appeared in the dark room.

He didn't do much for the first minute, but he touched Perry's head and poured electricity into his brain after a while.

If one had Omniscience, they would be able to see that the silhouette was inserting information into his mind using electricity. After that, he left a letter in his hand.

Though he also doesn't stop there and grabs O-Tama, who sleeps soundly while hugging Perry and flying through the bedroom window, he left a window open for the victims to reach a conclusion using the letter.

zzzz...

"O-Tama!"

The next morning, a loud shout shook the entire inn.

While Amon and Raki were chatting in other parts of the world, Perry, who woke up with Amon's orders in her mind, shouted while reading the letter with a teary face.

Ace and the crew immediately ran into the room and looked at Perry with concern.

They leave O-Tama with her because they have a good relationship, but to think they will find out that O-Tama is not in the room with only Perry crying...

"Perry, what's going on?" Ace asked while sitting next to him.

Perry was reading the letter and covered his face with his hands, tears falling like a fountain. "O-Tama..had been kidnapped by the Beast Pirates!"

«...★...»

O-Tama looked at Karna and asked, "Did you say Master Brother brought me here? Where is he? Where's Ace's brother? Are you lying?"

Karna looked at him with a wry smile. "Calm Miss, actually I don't know much. Ask him when he'll be back, I think it'll take a while. He asked me to take care of you until then." he said and muttered. "Even though I said I didn't want to ..."

Tama looked down as her face formed a settled look. 'I think I should wait until I find out... I was worried about big brother Ace, he said he would go to a remote island and train until he was strong enough to avenge Master Brother's sacrifice. But if Master Brother is still alive, then, he doesn't need to do that. I need to talk to him immediately!'

Thinking like that, Tama stood up. "Please make sure your Lord returns soon. I'll wait and do what you say."

Karna sighed and shook her head. "Well, I have some toys, you can play them, I guess."

He said that and went to the other side of the room separated by a curtain.

"Don't come to this side. or I'll dissect you." Saying this, he closed the curtain and muttered, "Bother."

Greetings, this is All-Star King of Beast Pirates. Kaido-sama is attracted to this girl, O-Tama, because of her incredible strength. So, I'll take him.

You should all thank the Foolish Master. His sacrifice made Kaido-sama let you live. Thank him in the afterlife — All-Star King.

Here's what the letter said, Ace was crazy to see this.

'Sacrifice' means the Foolish Master died in battle. And not only that, they also took O-Tama.

Ace understands why Kaido is interested in her. It was because of his power to tame any animal, even a Gifter.

Ace clenched his fists and threw the paper after crushing it into a ball.

Ace with an angry face, with trembling skin, roared. "That's it! We're going to hunt the Beasts Pirates! Not only did they kill the Fool, they even kidnapped Tama! It's unforgiving!" Ace shouted as the room heated up because of the steam. "I'm going to kill Kaido! I'll kill the King!"

He began to breathe hard. He was so angry, he had never had this much hatred towards someone in his life, Deuce's death made him sad and angry, but he was not angry. But this time, no one could stop him from chasing after Kaido.

The crew members remained silent. They make a firm face, they will do what he says, he is their captain. Besides, they were angry too.

But Perry, programmed by Amon, intervenes. "But Ace, we're just gonna die. If we die, the sacrifice of the Foolish Master will have no meaning."

Hearing him, Ace's grip on his fist tightened. Oh, how true he is.

"But..."

Before Ace could say anything more, the crow's voice entered his ears.

"Kreeahoo!"

Everyone in the room saw a crow outside the window. The crow has a letter on its feet. Everyone looked at the scene in surprise.

The crow flew into the room and sat on Ace's shoulder. Ace, slightly understanding the situation, took the letter from the crow's feet and opened it...

He started reading it as his eyes grew bigger and his lips trembled, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.

Dear ace, please,

If you see this letter, it means I am no more.

It's depressing. How I died to the man whose henchman killed Deuce, but that's how it is.

Anyway, I'm sorry to send something like this, you definitely don't expect a stranger's letter after death, huh?

Ace's tears almost fell reading this line. 'We are not strangers ...'

I. I only have a request. Knowing you, you might pursue Kaido after reading this letter. But please, don't. He is a monster, you will die in vain. I don't want you to die in vain because I have a request for you, I want you to keep O-Tama for me.

Ace's body trembled reading this.

I did promise to show it to the rest of the world, but I failed to keep my promise. But you... I may ask for too much like someone you just met a month ago, but can you keep that promise in my place?

Ace fell to his knees reading this. "I'm sorry..." He is so failed, he can't even grant the last wish of his new friend, O-Tama is kidnapped.

He could not read anymore, so Perry picked up the letter and started reading aloud.

"『Although I wouldn't say you shouldn't get revenge – actually, I'd be happy if you killed that bastard for me. He gave me so much pain even after death, haha" After a moment of silence exchanging glances with the crew, Perry continued. "『I have a suggestion, join the Whitebeard Pirates. Make a name for yourself first, then challenge him. You will lose, but knowing the old man, he will regard you as his son. You must do your best to learn it. teach it and maybe one day... get revenge for my death...?

—From, Foolish Master, that stupid man."

In fact, Amon knew Ace would not challenge Whitebeard in this timeline because he knew how powerful an Emperor was, so Amon needed something to get him to do that, and this was the perfect opportunity.

Ace's tears kept falling as he punched the ground. "I'll do what you say, Fool."
