Sorry guys, I'm late for today...

……

Marin Fodo, Navy Headquarters.

"Ace, this stinky boy, actually rejected the old man's proposal to go down to the Seven Martial Seas!"

Hearing Kerra's relay, Karp's face had a look of wanting to hammer people.

"If he wants to be the king of the pirates, let him be the king, can't the king of the Seven Martial Seas become the king of the pirates?

What kind of tendon is this stinky boy? ”

Karp had been babbling on and on for a long time, and Kerra had never seen Karp so verbose.

It turns out that the general "Iron Fist" Karp, who is usually very arrogant and not afraid of heaven and earth, also has a soft side in his heart.

Kella smiled softly, "Don't worry, Mr. Karp, although Ace refused the invitation of His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas, she can no longer be a pirate." ”

"How?"

Karp was stunned.

Could it be that Ace's dream has also changed from a Raush One Piece to an adventure king like Luffy?

Kella explained, "As long as Ace can't beat me for a day, she won't be a pirate for a day." ”

"Alas......"

Hearing this, Karp sighed.

"Good boy, the old man knows that your strength is already very strong now, but ......"

Karp was only halfway through his words before he stopped.

Kerra blinked, "You want to say that with Ace's potential, she will soon be able to surpass me, right?" ”

Karp hurriedly explained, "I'm not saying you're not good......"

"I know."

Kella nodded, "I'm a girl, and I'm certainly at a disadvantage in terms of strength compared to men." But~"

Kerra deliberately sold a pass, and Karp plucked his ears with his little thumb: "But what? ”

"But when Ace comes to me for a duel in the future, we both have the same conditions."

"Huh?"

Karp was confused, "Why can't I understand what you're talking about?" ”

Kerra further explained, "How can you stop a teenager from becoming the man of One Piece? ”

"How?"

Karp is like a child listening to a story, his face is full of curiosity.

In fact, Karp is not stupid at all, he just maintains the childlike innocence that many people have lost like an old urchin.

"That's to stop him from becoming a pirate!"

"You girl, make fun of the old man, right?"

Cap grinned and shook his iron fist in front of Kella's eyes, as if trying to teach Kella a lesson.

But Kella wasn't too worried.

In her impression, Karp didn't seem to have a precedent for hammering girls.

"Didn't you say that a long time ago? After Ace becomes stronger in a few years, he will still be a pirate. ”

Kella said unhurriedly, "So there is another way. ”

"What's the solution?"

"That's to turn that boy into a girl, and she will never be able to become a man in One Piece again!"

"Forehead ......"

Karp was stunned for a moment, and didn't come back to his senses for a while.

Just when he thought Kella was teasing himself, a message suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Poof...... Hahahahaha......ha

Karp actually held his stomach and laughed like a madman in front of Kerra as a junior, laughing so much that tears flowed from his eyes, and he fell to the ground and rolled around with laughter......

Kella blinked in surprise, this time it was her turn to be a little confused.

This...... Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

Is Mr. Karp angry or not?

"The old man has a granddaughter! Hahahahaha......ha

Karp was laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe, a dignified naval hero who had a sign of dying of laughter.

"So having a granddaughter would make Mr. Karp so happy?"

Kerra was stunned by Karp's laughter, looking at his appearance...... It should be that Hailan is not angry, right?

Of course, Karp had heard about Vegapunk's development of a drug transfer agent.

Connecting all the information revealed by Kerra together, Karp easily thought that Ace was turned into a girl by Hailan using a sex transfer potion.

But does it really make Karp so happy that his grandson has become a granddaughter?

Of course not.

If Hailan turns Luffy into Lufi, Karp will definitely "hunt down" him to the ends of the earth.

Karp was actually watching Roger's joke!

The old rival who has been fighting with him for decades, Gorme Brown, who is known as "One Piece" by the world, is Before D. Roger died, he entrusted his bloodline to Karp, and finally went on his way with peace of mind.

Roger is not picky about whether his children are male or female, and he has all the names he has in mind, the boy is called [Ace] and the girl is called [Ann].

But!

If that Roger knew that his son had been turned into a daughter, would he be so angry that he crawled out of the grave?

Karp laughed so hard that Roger's coffin board might not be able to hold it down!

"It's so witty, that kid Hailan is so witty!"

Karp was in a good mood.

Even the tiredness of begging grandpa to sue grandma for many days for Ace's status as "King of the Seven Martial Seas" has been swept away.

"Look how he still became the man of One Piece!"

"The old man has a granddaughter~"

Karp, who had recovered his breath, whistled happily......

This time, Kela can finally be sure that Karp is definitely not angry with Hailan.

"Mr. Karp...... Mr. Karp! ”

"Huh? What's the matter? ”

Karp was radiant and looked as if he was 20 years younger.

"Hailan said that in order for Ace's bounty order to be suppressed, he hopes that you can keep this matter a secret."

"Confidentiality? Of course! Secrecy! It must be kept secret! ”

If Karp hears about Anilu's transformation into a woman, he may be told by his big mouth.

But regarding such a major event as Ace's security, his secrecy is still very strong.

Karp never revealed to anyone that Ace was Roger's bloodline, and even the "accidentally leaking his mouth" never happened to Karp.

……

"Holy Land" Mary Joa.

Vice Admiral "Day Tiger" was standing in front of the five old men in the council hall of the five old stars.

As a vice admiral, the leader of the level of the Five Old Stars is not something Hai Lan can see if he wants to see it.

But it's about "Portcas. D" surname, the five old stars made an exception to see Hailan once.

The bald Fifth Old Star, who was holding a demon knife in his arms, said in an indifferent voice: "Lieutenant General Hailan, what do you use to ensure that Portkas · D. Ace will never be a pirate again? ”

"I can't say this matter for the time being, and it won't work if I say it."

"Presumptuous!"

Although the five old stars of the demon sword were wearing a Taoist robe, his temper was actually the most irritable among the five.

As if they had a heart and soul, they didn't need to communicate, and the youngest blonde-haired old star asked, "What are you going to do if that Ace reappears in the public eye as a pirate?" ”

Hai Lan said solemnly: "Regarding this matter, you five can rest assured, if there is a pirate who calls himself Fire Fist Ace in the future, I will personally send him into the Advance City." ”

The blonde five elders nodded and didn't speak again.

The vice admiral's promises to them are definitely credible enough.

Because if the promise is violated, with the power of the five of them, a vice admiral can be left with nothing in an instant.

As long as Ace doesn't go against the world government, everything is fine.

The goatee with the longest beard Wu Lao Xing spoke: "It is impossible to cancel the reward that has been set, unless that pirate dies, or becomes the king of the Seven Martial Seas, the reason for this, we don't need to explain it to you, right?" ”

"Of course."

Hailan didn't have the luxury of hoping to revoke Ace's bounty order, "My suggestion is that the bounty can be recorded in the file, but there is no need to notify the world or anything for the time being."

That "Fire Fist" Ace is the naval hero Monchi D. Karp's grandson, considering Lieutenant General Karp's status, there is no need for the government to push Ace too hard. ”

It was only after a short period of thought that the five old stars made a decision.

The only five old stars with a hat and curly hair clapped their hands and said, "It's feasible." ”

In fact, even if he knew that Ace was Roger's bloodline, after so many years, there was no need to kill them all in the eyes of the five old stars.

These five old men sitting at the apex of world power are not pedantic.

In the original book, there are two main reasons why the five old stars decided to publicly execute Ace.

First, the "strongest man in the world" Whitebeard plans to train Ace to become the next One Piece, and of course these five old stars can't bear it.

The second is also to set a trap for the Whitebeard Pirates to eliminate the last legendary pirate galloping on the sea.

If Ace accepted the invitation of the "Seven Martial Seas of the King", for Karp's sake, the five old stars would not have to execute Ace.

This is the reason why the Five Old Stars are now able to easily accept Hailan's suggestion.

Of course, the response to "Portcas. D: "It is impossible to give up the investigation of the five old stars with this surname, after all, only a person who knows the roots can make them feel at ease.

The blonde-haired five old stars suddenly spoke: "Lieutenant General Hailan, this time, we decided to suppress the bounty order of that Fire Fist Ace for the sake of your face. ”

"Then I'm a little flattered."

Hailan knew that this was just a from the five old stars.

If it was Karp who was standing in front of them now, then they would say "for the sake of the face of the Hero of the Navy."

But the politeness of the lips cannot be left behind.

The Five Old Stars, who had a map-shaped birthmark on his head, said in a cold voice, "Lieutenant General Hailan, have you realized your mistake regarding the explosive rock?" ”

Hailan detonated the more than 40 explosive rocks in Wano Country last year, and after reporting the situation, he received criticism from the five old stars.

At that time, the meaning of the five old stars was: Dynamite Rock is an extremely rare mineral, and it is the trump card to protect the end point, with one less one, you detonated more than forty Dynamite Rock in one go, do you know how much damage this caused to the government?

Hailan's reason for prevarication at the time was "I used it to blow up the beast Kaido".

Sadly, Kaido didn't die.

Hailan wondered if Kaido's goods had been "sanctified in the flesh"......

After thinking about a few words, Hai Lan just opened her mouth, and the five old stars in the Taoist robe spoke: "It's been more than half a year since this incident, and we won't pursue it with you, but ......"

The Goatee Five Elders continued, "CIpher Pol's agents have discovered a platinum-lead mine on an island in the New World called 'Sodalica', and your navy must find a way to take that Sodaliga Island."

Sodarica Island is relatively close to the territory of the sea thief red-haired Shanks. ”

Hailan was dumbfounded.

This is again to say "for your sake", and "if the matter is over, it will not be investigated" or something, so it turns out that you are waiting for yourself here?

Sure enough, being given a few dates by someone else for no reason is never something to be happy about.

Hailan knew that the territory of the red-haired pirates was relatively deep in the New World, and even if the world government took the island of Sodaliga, it would be impossible to build a platinum-lead processing plant on it, because the transportation route could not be guaranteed.

But when I think of the secret that has to be said between the red-haired Shanks and the five old stars...... and the World Government's style of making deals with the Beast Pirates......

A smile appeared on Hailan's face: "The navy will do its best." ”
