"Honestly, they're making it sound like I'm a burden!"

Ace muttered something and left the training room. After Ace left, Seimei also disappeared.

……

"Hey, Ace!"

While Ace was sleeping in his bedroom, he suddenly heard Seimei shouting next to his ear.

"Seimei! How did you find my place? I don't know anyone like you."

Ace misses his former companions a little; he has become much more withdrawn now.

"Ace, I know you don't want to go back to this city, so I need your help to rescue someone. He's my friend, but he's not the Ace you used to know."

"friend?"

The image of that handsome blond-haired, blue-eyed boy flashed before Ace's eyes. He was the first love of the three brothers. They had once been on the same boat, adventuring together, eating and drinking together.

"I will never forget him, but we have nothing to do with each other anymore!"

After Ace finished speaking, he turned around and closed his eyes.

Seimei stood there in silence for a long time before speaking.

“Ace, you don’t have to sacrifice yourself for a single piece. I think I can handle it.”

"Haha, a pawn? I don't like that title, and I haven't sacrificed anything. I'm just defending my honor. I can't tolerate anyone impersonating our son."

Chapter 222: Departure

Ace suddenly yanked the blanket off his face and roared.

Seimei shook his head helplessly, but he did not want to change the status quo.

"Whitebeard, come out here! I don't want to kill you, but you can't stop me from finding a life that truly belongs to me. So listen to me, from now on, don't stand in my way!"

As he spoke, Seimei extended his right hand and clenched his fist.

"boom--"

Whitebeard's naginata struck Seimei's fist, and the force of their impact exploded in mid-air, sending Whitebeard flying.

The white-bearded man staggered to the opposite side of Seimei and smiled as he looked at the boy in the kimono in front of him.

"Seimei, I never thought we would meet again in just one year. But you are no longer the naive child you once were. You have matured."

Whitebeard looked at Seimei in front of him and praised him, but Seimei just smiled and didn't say anything. Whitebeard's strength was not bad, but he was still far inferior to him.

"Since you're no longer the kid you used to be, then I won't stand on ceremony with you!"

Whitebeard pointed his naginata at Seimei, who looked up at him. Their eyes clashed as if a thousand flames were contained within them.

"How did you find me? I remember I was 22 and had been hiding well enough."

"Hmph! As expected of the World Government, it actually managed to break through the barrier I set up."

Whitebeard snorted coldly.

"Alright! Let's not waste any more time. Today I will defeat you with my own hands. I will let the whole world know that the son of the Pirate King Roger is not a coward."

"Then come on!"

The two men are at war once again.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Whitebeard was brutally knocked to the ground by Seimei, but then he suddenly stood up.

"Qingming!"

Seimei frowned. Why had his white beard returned to normal?

"Hehe, I'm not so easy to defeat!"

Whitebeard used his naginata to support himself as he stood up.

"Oh, have you forgotten who I am? Whitebeard."

"Whitebeard, I remember saying that our grudges were completely dissolved after you knocked me unconscious. So now I just want you to tell me one thing: where can I find my friend? I want to take him away from this cage!"

Whitebeard was stunned. Was Seimei referring to him with those words?

"Who are you taking away? Did he break the law?"

Whitebeard asked with some confusion.

"Well, I guess so! Anyway, he needs your protection right now, and I think he'll agree."

Seimei's tone was firm, and Whitebeard couldn't refute Seimei's request. After all, this guy was no longer his grandson. Now, there was only enemy and friend between them, and everything else was out of their reach.

"Okay! I promise you, but it's too dangerous here, and I'm worried about your safety."

"Don't worry, I'm not afraid of this place."

"Haha, then I'll leave it to you."

Whitebeard smiled and left. He didn't want to get involved in their relationship, and even less did he want to interfere in Seimei's and the others' lives.

"White beard……"

As the figure gradually disappeared, Seimei said in a low voice, but Whitebeard could no longer hear him.

"Whitebeard, are you sure you want to help that brat? Although his potential is enormous, and he might even surpass you, he's a Marine. Aren't you afraid the Marines will hold you accountable for doing this?"

"Whitebeard, I don't believe you would do something like disobeying the Navy's orders!"

Inside a luxurious house in Marineford, several of Whitebeard's adopted sons gathered to discuss his decision.

"In any case, this is Whitebeard's decision. If you think he made a mistake, then do as he says."

Ace shrugged. He wasn't particularly happy; his brother was gone, and now he was all alone.

Whitebeard would no longer interfere with him; he only needed to maintain his current life. However, he was unwilling to give up his dream. Although he was the strongest man in the Whitebeard Pirates, he still hoped to gain more glory and craved victory!

Whitebeard's sons exchanged glances and then left. They all respected Whitebeard's choice, because no one could sway this man's decision!

"Dad, thank you! I've always owed you so much."

One of Whitebeard's sons said apologetically, and Whitebeard smiled and patted his son on the back.

"Hahaha, what nonsense are you talking about! Grow up quickly! One day, our pirate crew will stand at the pinnacle of the entire Grand Line, and then we will make everyone submit to the pirates!"

Whitebeard was smiling broadly; he seemed to have already envisioned the wonderful scene of the rise of pirates.

……

As Seimei stood on the beach, gazing at the surging sea, his thoughts drifted to the location of the Big Mom Pirates:

"It's all such a coincidence. Not only was Big Mom defeated by me, but Whitebeard was also my friend. It seems he's not dead yet."

"I'd better find that bastard first!"

Whitebeard's sons had already left, while Whitebeard stood on the shore gazing into the distance. This land belonged to him, but it was also a filthy place, a source of his suffering.

"Hey! Whitebeard, are you still there? Are you still here?"

Seimei's shouts startled Whitebeard awake.

"Seimei? What are you doing here? What happened?"

"I'm looking for someone, Whitebeard 663, his name is Raymond Bravo, I need to rescue him!"

"Seimei said in a deep voice," the white-bearded man said, and he nodded.

“Then I’ll take you inside, but before that you must come back to the ship with me. I’m worried you don’t know how to sail.”

Seimei nodded.
