Chương 1239: Luffy's Early Growth

The other crew members began to whisper to each other, and discussions arose one after another.

"Idiot, they fainted at the same time, so it can only be considered a draw!"

At this moment, a burly crew member yelled at the man who had just spoken and slapped him hard on the head.

The others felt a little comforted when they heard this.

Beating and tying are two different things.

The flames burned on Joz and Ace.

Everyone, including Whitebeard, stood in front of the two men, quietly watching them recover.

Ace's injuries are serious and he probably won't be able to recover for a while.

Joz was only seriously injured on the surface, and fainted due to exhaustion.

Whitebeard just watched over the two of them silently.

East China Sea, Windmill Village!

Two people, one big and one small, were pulling each other on the beach.

"Hey, Grandpa, let me go, I want to save Ace!"

Luffy pulled at his arms, trying to break free from Garp's grasp, and looked towards the sea with an anxious look on his face.

"Luffy, are you kidding me? Go Ace. Do you know the distance from here to there? It will take at least a month or two to get there. It will be useless if you go now!"

Garp held Luffy tightly with one hand and yelled at him.

"No, I want to save Ace. Ace has been caught by that giant flaming bird. He is in danger now. I want to save him!"

Luffy looked at Garp stubbornly, with tears in his eyes.

Karp was touched when he saw this.

His expression fell silent, but he still held Luffy tightly.

"Ace, him!"

Garp knew exactly who had captured Ace.

The captain of Whitebeard's First Division, Phoenix Marco.

His strength is also top-notch among all the big pirates.

What's more, behind him is that old guy Whitebeard.

And from the reaction in the video just now, it was very obvious.

Edward Newgate with the white beard went out in person.

I'm afraid Ace is in great danger this time.

Based on Garp's understanding of Whitebeard, Ace was provoking the Whitebeard Pirates in this way.

The Whitebeard Pirates will never let Ace go easily.

They will ask Whitebeard to execute Ace to wash away the shame.

Given Whitebeard's personality, he will most likely listen to his sons' opinions.

Take Ace as an example.

Trouble!

Garp sighed silently in his heart.

"Grandpa, please save Ace, he is your grandson too!"

Luffy suddenly rushed to Garp's feet, hugged Garp's thighs and cried.

At this moment, Karp's heart twitched instantly.

I remembered what Ace looked like when he was a child, following him around and calling him grandpa all the time.

Karp could no longer suppress his inner emotions, and tears silently rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Grandpa can't do anything, he is a pirate and I am a navy, Grandpa can't do anything!"

Garp sat on the ground, put his hands on Luffy's shoulders, and cried bitterly.

When Luffy heard this, his expression froze and he looked at his crying grandfather.

This was the first time he saw his grandfather cry so heartbreakingly.

"Ace, is he going to die?"

Luffy asked uncertainly.

"I have no idea I have no idea!"

Garp was shaking his head like a child at this moment.

"Who captured Ace?"

Luffy stopped crying, bit his lip, and looked at his grandfather who was sitting on the ground crying with a determined expression.

"Luffy, you are no match for them with your current strength. Grandpa won't tell you that. Work hard to become stronger until the day you become stronger than grandpa!"

Garp looked up at the boy standing in front of him, trying hard to hold back his tears with a determined look on his face.

"I want to become stronger, stronger than Grandpa, and I want to rescue Ace!"

Luffy clenched his fists and said with a determined look.

At this moment, because of Ace, Luffy began to grow early.

paradise!

Above the vast ocean, the sun shines on the sparkling sea, reflecting a dreamy light.

Just then, a cry of surprise broke the silence.

"Dad, there is a pirate ship approaching rapidly from behind!"

Standing on the high observation tower, the lookout tightly grasped the telescope in his hand, shouting anxiously and pointing his finger to the rear.

Hearing this shout, everyone on the boat subconsciously looked back.

In the distance, a ship flying a pirate flag was seen speeding towards us, cutting through the waves like an arrow.

The sea breeze blew by, causing the flag to flutter.

After hearing the sound, Whitebeard slowly took out his telescope from his arms and looked behind him.

When he saw the pirate ship clearly, his heart couldn't help but move.

"That's... the Spade Pirates?"

Whitebeard murmured in a low voice, and Ace's young and determined face instantly appeared in his mind.

That's right, this pirate ship is none other than the Spade Pirates led by Ace.

Speaking of Ace, his iconic move - the fire fist - is terrifying.

Therefore, everyone knows the name of Fire Fist Ace. In comparison, the Spade Pirates are not so well-known.

Even news reports from various places often focus on Ace himself, with little mention of his Spade Pirates.

However, at this moment, seeing that the crew of the Spade Pirates were so bold to chase after their captain, Whitebeard was not angry. Instead, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of admiration.

"Interesting, they actually dare to chase us. Let them get close, don't attack!"

Whitebeard shouted loudly, his voice like a bell, echoing throughout the deck.

As his orders were given, although everyone on the ship was a little confused, they still put away their weapons and waited quietly for the Spade Pirates to approach.

The Spade Pirates were like a group of hungry wolves, approaching the Moby Dick at lightning speed.

Deputy Captain Deuce's eyes were fixed on the huge ship in front of him. When he saw the Whitebeard Pirates standing ready on the Moby Dick with great momentum, he couldn't help but clench his fists, and veins popped out on the back of his hands.

When Deus thought of Ace being imprisoned with his life or death uncertain, he felt a surge of anger in his heart and gritted his teeth.

"Brothers, even if it costs your life today, you must rescue our captain!"

Deuce roared at the top of his lungs. Before he finished speaking, he held the weapon in his hand, slammed his feet hard on the ground, and leaped up like an arrow. He actually jumped over a distance of dozens of meters and landed steadily on the deck of the Moby Dick.

At the same time, the other members of the Spade Pirates showed no sign of weakness. They pulled out all kinds of grappling hooks from their waists or backs, and threw them at the Moby Dick with all their might.

Only a series of "ding-dong" sounds were heard, and the sharp claws accurately hooked onto the side and railings of the Moby Dick.
