Pirates: There is no prohibition of fishing in Marijoa.

After sitting still on the deck for a long time, Ace's eyes seemed to regain some brightness. He stood up and walked straight to where Whitebeard was.

After a while, it was unknown what he talked about with Whitebeard.

When he reappeared, Ace seemed to have been sublimated.

He was no longer confused, and his expression had regained its former sunny and cheerful look, as if he had suddenly found the direction of his life. The gloomy sky in his heart could no longer cover his eyes.

……

The night is as cool as water, dark as poetry, and the moonlight shining on the silent sea seems to add a touch of sadness to the night.

On the Spade Pirates' ship, all the members gathered together after a long absence.

"It's been a while since we've gotten together like this, about half a year, right?"

Zeus looked around, feeling quite emotional.

"Yes, in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed. Now I dare not blink any more."

"Why? Are you afraid that if you blink too much, your banana will turn from green to yellow?"

"Get lost! You are the yellow banana!"

The crew members also joked with each other for the first time in a long time.

Staring at this joyful scene, Ace was in a trance for a while, then stood up and said:

"Cough cough!"

"Everyone, I'm sorry, please allow me to speak to you like this for the last time as the captain."

"I know that because of my willful behavior, I have put everyone in danger."

"Luckily it was the Whitebeard Pirates. Everyone was safe and sound. I was thankful for a long time."

"terribly sorry!"

With deep apology, Ace bowed deeply to everyone.

Then he continued:

"Whitebeard spared us, gave us food, and allowed us to atone for our sins. This is a great favor."

"And I... shamelessly challenged him a hundred times, and was forgiven a hundred times. In other words, I owe him a hundred lives."

“I just can’t ignore this kindness.”

"Pirates also have to abide by moral principles. If I run away shamelessly or continue to challenge you unreasonably."

"If that happens, even I will look down on myself."

After the Spade Pirates were defeated, he was left in the Whitebeard Pirates to atone his sins. There were only two paths for him to take.

One is to leave collectively, regroup, and continue looking for opportunities, or change targets.

The second is to stay in the Whitebeard Pirates and become one of them.

At this point, the companions roughly knew which path Ace had chosen.

"So... I was confused for a long time, and I thought about it for a long time, and finally... I decided to join the Whitebeard Pirates."

"Everyone...does anyone have any ideas?"

"I know that some of us did not go out to sea to become pirates, and some even got into this business by accident."

"If there is a place you want to go back to, I will find a way to send you back there."

Although it was difficult, Ace still spoke up. Now that he had made the decision, he had to face everyone calmly.

"captain!"

"I...have nowhere to go anymore. Although I still miss my hometown and the little flowers at the entrance of the village very much, I think things and people have changed a lot now."

"Yes!"

"I'm pretty much the same."

Everyone was talking about all the trivial things that were on their minds, but in the end, no one wanted to leave.

You have to know that most of these people were forced to board the ship for various reasons. If they were not forced to do so, who would easily leave their hometown?

"Jerry, Deuce, what about you?"

Then, Ace turned around, and Jerry looked at his companions, scratched his face and said:

"Actually, I talked to you a little bit about this before everyone got back, but let me talk about it again now."

"Ace, are you sure there is what you have been looking for in this sea area?"

As the words fell, Ace looked at Jerry for a while, and answered with a firm look in his eyes:

"Yeah... I think I've found it here!"

"If you find it, don't hesitate, move forward bravely, and work hard to protect the people and things you cherish."

Although he had expected it, Jerry felt the change in Ace's heart and was sincerely happy for him.

"Yeah...I will!" Ace nodded solemnly.

"It's my decision... Don't say I'm not a good friend!"

"The world is so big, I want to see it!"

"I don't want to retire in this sea anymore. I want to travel around the world!"

"Contract all the fish ponds and catch all the big fish!"

"I'm going to find the ALL BLUE in my heart!"

Then, Jerry expressed his thoughts. He had only walked a short distance in this world, so how could he be willing to live in this Whitebeard's nursing home from then on.

Ace, who had already roughly known that Jerry would not stay here, patted him on the back and said with a smile:

"I knew it. Although you look quiet while fishing, you are actually not peaceful at all."

"Deus, what about you?"

"Me? I...actually..."

Deus was actually a little confused about his future path.

"Want to keep traveling, huh?"

"After all, your adventure story hasn't come out yet."

Looking at this partner who was always like a butler and worrying about others all day long, Ace felt that he should make up his mind for his own dream.

"Well, yeah, although I like the atmosphere here too."

"But I do want to go on adventures."

Feeling Ace's encouraging look, Deuce still stated his decision.

"Go ahead! Anyway, we have Den Den Mushi, so we can contact you anytime."

"I'm also looking forward to your adventure novel!"

Everyone was talking about it, but most of them chose to follow Ace and join the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Skaar, how are you?"

"Oh haha, Boss Ace! Even here, I can still realize my value as an intelligence master."

"But I still want to travel around the world with Boss Jerry, so that I can get intelligence while continuing to enjoy my hobbies!"

The skull's jaw opened and closed flexibly, and Scar stated the conclusion he had discussed with Ace and others earlier today.

"Meow…"

I don’t know if Kodaz could understand what was going on, but after rubbing against Ace, it ran over and curled up at Jerry’s feet.

"Hahaha, Ace, it looks like Kodaz wants to go with me to eat all the big fish."

"Yeah! This is good too. Everyone can be free and live the life they want according to their own ideas."

Seeing that everyone had made a decision, Ace smiled and then looked at Deuce.

"Then... next, Deus."

"Ah, this is our pirate flag."

Everyone focused their attention at the same time, and saw that what Deuce was holding was the flag of the Spade Pirates.

"Yes, I think we won't need it in the future."

"Today, at this moment, I think it is time to announce that the Spade Pirates are officially disbanded."

"Let us say goodbye properly."

Ace grabbed the flag, ignited a flame in his hand, and set it on fire as it fluttered in the wind.

When everyone saw this scene, all kinds of memories flashed through their eyes. For a moment, everyone reminisced about the days they spent together.

All good things must come to an end, unless you can eat for free all the time.

The Spade Pirates' journey has ended, and what is about to begin is a new journey in life for each of them.
