Chapter 316 Ace of Alexandria

For Ace at this moment, what troubled him and put him under great pressure was undoubtedly his own lack of strength.

All troubles come from weakness of strength.

The weak, in this world, do not even have the power to choose their own way of survival.

Especially after experiencing that war, Ace's desire for power became even more urgent.

If you want to lead the Whitebeard Pirates, it is not enough to have the support of more than a dozen captains. What is more needed is a strong man of the Yonko level.

Only by becoming a truly world-class strongman can one lead the pirate group to gain a foothold in this world.

But, how can one become an emperor?

Ace gritted his teeth silently. He longed for power. He had never wanted to become stronger like this.

"If there was a power as strong as that man!"

Clenching his fists, Ace's heart burned with fire.

In that earth-shattering war, that man single-handedly defeated two kings of the sea, crushing them all the way. Even after being exhausted and seriously injured, he was still able to defeat a powerful naval admiral with a bloody show.

Ace could no longer imagine this kind of strength.

After a moment, he sighed.

He actually knew very well that as long as he stayed in the navy, the man would teach him, and this would also be an opportunity to become stronger.

But now, there is no doubt that it is no longer possible.

The atmosphere on the Red Forth was heavy.

Everyone was waiting silently, and in the blink of an eye, seven days had passed since the day of the battle on the top.

On this day, Shanks finally opened his eyes.

A moment later, a loud shout of excitement erupted from the Red Foss.

Beckman walked out with a smile on his face, followed by Jesus Bu and other cadres.

Ace looked at each other and could clearly see the fatigue on their faces, but the joy and smiles were even more obvious.

"Everyone has been waiting for a long time. You can rest assured that Shanks is awake."

Beckman said aloud.

Marco glanced at Ace and motioned for him to speak.

The latter hesitated for a moment and then said in a deep voice: "This is indeed something worthy of congratulations."

Beckman smiled and said pointedly: "The king of the Whitebeard Pirates can't look like this."

"Cheer up, kid."

"Don't live up to everyone's expectations of you."

Ace's body trembled when he heard this, then nodded and said, "Of course not."

At this time, Laqi Lu laughed and shouted: "The banquet, the banquet is about to begin!"

"Captain wakes up, this is a big event worth celebrating!"

Jesus Bu also said: "If he smells the aroma of wine, he will definitely not be able to help but get out of bed, right? Haha!"

"Hurry up and bring out the fine wine we have collected. It's the fine wine from Shanks' hometown!"

"Everyone from the Whitebeard Pirates, come too. You guys need to vent too, right?"

Beckman said.

Marco didn't say anything, but Ace nodded: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey!"

A party suddenly started.

The originally depressed and heavy breath was suddenly dispersed by bursts of laughter.

It has to be said that the people in the red-haired pirate group have potential in the atmosphere group. Even Ace, Marco and others had smiles on their faces.

"Forget all your worries! We are pirates not to live with a sad face all day long!"

"Live to enjoy life, not simply to survive."

"cheers!!"

Laughter broke out, and everyone felt completely relaxed.

Ace also raised his glass, throwing away the pressure in his heart with a cheerful smile on his face.

"That's right, kid, smile!"

"Who doesn't have low points in life? Who doesn't go through hardships?"

"Even the strong ones who stand at the top will sometimes sink into the abyss. We should face everything with optimism!"

"What will the future be like? Who knows?"

Jesus said with a laugh.

"you're right!"

"But the Whitebeard Pirates will not fall, but will become stronger and stronger!"

Ace laughed loudly.

"Good morale!"

At this time, a figure with bandages all over his body and being supported by others walked out of the cabin.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Shanks, I knew you would come out if you couldn't help it!"

Beckman turned around and smiled.

"I can't rest well in such a noisy environment like you!"

Shanks laughed.

He shrugged and grinned again.

"Besides, this familiar aroma of wine is so tempting!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed and he was already sitting next to Ace. Then he grabbed the wine bowl on the deck and drank it in big gulps.

“Enjoyable!!”

Throwing the wine bowl on the deck, Shanks shouted loudly.

"Shanks!!!"

"You haven't recovered from your serious injury, so you can't drink yet!!"

The ship's doctor behind him said angrily.

"It's okay, I'm already alive!"

Shanks laughed.

Ace sat with an emperor, looking a little reserved for a moment.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Ace, I didn't expect you to be the captain's son."

Shanks turned his head and said with emotion.

Before the navy announced it, no one would have thought that the bloodline of the Pirate King would still be spread out. To the world, this bloodline is of great significance, but to him, it has a deep friendship and sustenance in it.

"captain?"

Ace was stunned, but quickly reacted.

"That man?"

Shanks nodded and said with some emotion: "That year, the legendary navy general Xia Le was still an unknown newcomer."

"And I am just a trainee on the captain's ship."

"Marshall Teach is still young, too."

"hehe!"

"What a nostalgic time!"

As he said that, Shanks laughed.

“Those must have been wonderful years!”

Ace said.

"Indeed, that era was very exciting."

"Although we missed a lot because we were young and weak, it is still missed."

Shanks smiled.

Suddenly, his conversation changed.

"Don't be discouraged, young man, you are just like me back then."

"As the captain's son, the man Whitebeard has high hopes for, your future must be extraordinary."

"Work hard to live, work hard to become stronger, and in the end when you stand at the top, what you will see will be a different scenery."

These words were extremely impactful, and Aceton was shocked, and then he nodded heavily.

"I will definitely work hard!!"

Shanks smiled slightly, drank another bowl of wine, and left tiredly.

After all, he was still seriously injured and needed rest. Just sitting here for a while, blowing the wind, I felt uncomfortable all over.

The banquet continued until late that night, and everyone fell asleep one after another.

On the morning of the next day, the two pirate groups said goodbye to each other.

Ace and others return to the Moby-Dick.

At this time, other pirate groups and people from various forces who came to support had already left.

Walking slowly on the deck, when he saw the chair in front of him, Ace's heart trembled and his expression became complicated.

Marco and others were also silent.

Suddenly, everyone turned their heads sharply, and when they saw the person clearly, their faces all changed colors.

Marco stared at the visitor with murderous intent on his face.

"Shichibukai, Doflamingo!!"

"How dare you come here?"
