Chapter 146

Title: Ace's Misery

….

[Last Night]

It was night. In the Maccurine Kingdom, in a town beside the seashore, the Spade Pirates were resting in an inn. They plan to stay here until any news of Amon comes by, whether negative or positive.

O-Tama was in a room with Perry, sleeping soundly beside her.

Suddenly, lightning sparked as the silhouette of a young man appeared in the darkroom.

He didn't do much for the first minute, but he touched Perry's head and flowed electricity through her brain after a while.

If one had Omniscience, they would be able to see that the silhouette was inserting information into her mind using electricity. After that, he left a letter in her hand.

Though he also didn't stop there and grabbed O-Tama, who was sleeping soundly while hugging Perry and flew off through the window of the room, he left the window open for the victims to reach a conclusion using the letter.

Zzzz…

"O-Tama!"

The next morning, a loud scream shook the whole inn.

While Amon and Raki were having a chat on the other side of the world, Perry, who woke up with Amon's command in her mind, yelled while reading the letter with a teary face.

Ace and the crew instantly ran into the room and looked at Perry with concern.

They left O-Tama with her since they shared a good relationship, but to think they will find out O-Tama was not in the room with only a crying Perry left...

"Perry, what happened?" Ace asked as he sat beside her.

Perry was reading the letter and covering her face with her hands, tears falling down like a fountain. "O-Tama… has been abducted by the Beast Pirates!"

«...★...»

O-Tama looked at Karna and asked, "Did you say Mister Brother brought me here? Where is he? Where is brother Ace? Are you lying?"

Karna looked at her with a wry smile. "Calm down girl, I actually don't know much. Ask him when he comes back, I guess it will take a while. He asked me to take care of you until then…" He said and mumbled. "Even though I said I don't wanna…"

Tama looked down as her face formed a resolved look. 'I guess I have to wait until I find out… I am worried about brother Ace, he said he was gonna go to an isolated island and train until he is strong enough to avenge Mister Brother's sacrifice. But if Mister Brother is alive, then, he doesn't need to do that. I quickly need to talk to him!'

Thinking such, Tama stood up. "Please make sure Mister Brother returns soon. I will wait and do what you say."

Karna sighed and shook his head. "Alright… I have some toys, you can play with them, I guess."

He said that and went over to the other side of the room that was separated by a curtain.

"Don't come to this side… or I will dissect you." Saying this he pulled closed the curtains and mumbled, "Bothersome."

Meanwhile, in the other part of the world, Ace was reading the letter Amon left with a shaky hand and red eyes.

『Greeting, this is All-Star King of Beast Pirates. Kaido-sama has taken an interest in this girl, O-Tama, as her powers are exceptional. So, I will be taking her.

You all should be grateful to Mr. Fool. His sacrifice made Kaido-sama let you live. Thank him in the afterlife — All-Star King.』

This is what the letter said, Ace was out of his mind seeing this.

'Sacrifice' meant Mr. Fool died in battle. And not only that, they took O-Tama too.

Ace understood why Kaido was interested in her. It was because of her power to tame any animal, even Gifters.

Ace clenched his fist and threw the paper after crumbling it into a ball.

Ace with an angered face, with his skin trembling, roared. "That's it! We are going to hunt the Beasts Pirates! Not only did they kill Fool, they even abducted Tama! This is unforgiving!" Ace yelled as the room heated up because of his steam. "I will kill Kaido! I will kill King!"

He started to breathe loudly. He was livid, he had never had this much hatred towards someone in his life, Deuce's death made him sad and angry, but he wasn't livid. But this time, nobody can stop him from going after Kaido.

The crew members stayed silent. They made a resolved face, they would do as he says, he is their captain. Besides, they were mad too.

But Perry, who was programmed by Amon, meddled. "But Ace, we will just die. If we die, Mr. Fool's sacrifice will be meaningless."

Hearing her, Ace's grip on his fist tightened. Oh, how right she was.

"But…"

Before Ace could say anything more, the sound of a crow entered his ears.

"Kreeeaa!"

Everyone in the room looked at the crow that was outside the window. The crow had a letter in its legs. Everyone looked at the scene surprised.

The crow flew inside the room and sat on Ace's shoulder. Ace, slightly understanding the situation, grabbed the letter from the crow's legs and opened it...

He started to read it as his eyes grew and his lips quivered, tears swelled on the corners of his eyes.

『Dear Ace,

If you are seeing this letter, it means I am no more.

It's sad. How I died to the person whose lackey killed Deuce, but it is what it is.

Anyway, I am sorry to send something like this, you must not have been expecting a stranger's letter after death, huh?』

Ace's tears almost fell reading this line. 'We are no stranger…'

『I… just have a request. Knowing you, you might go after Kaido after reading this letter. But please, don't. He is a monster, you would die in vain. I don't want you to die in vain because I have a request for you, I want you to look after O-Tama for me.』

Ace's body shook reading this.

『I did promise to show her around the world, but I failed to keep the promise. But you… I might be requesting too much as someone you met only a month ago, but would you please fulfil that promise in my place?』

Ace fell on his knees reading this. "I am so sorry…" He was such a failure, he couldn't even grant the last wish of his new friend, O-Tama was abducted.

He couldn't read anymore, so Perry picked the letter and started reading out loud.

"『Though I won't say you shouldn't get revenge – in fact, I would love if you killed that bastard for me. He gave me so much pain that it hurts even after death, haha』" After a short silence of exchanging gazes with the crew, Perry continued. "『I have a suggestion, join the Whitebeard Pirates. Make a name for yourselves first, then challenge him. You will lose, but knowing that old guy, he will take you as his son. You need to do your best to learn his teaching and maybe one day… take revenge for my death…?

—From, Mr. Fool, the foolish man.』"

In truth, Amon knew Ace wouldn't challenge Whitebeard in this timeline since he knows how strong an Emperor is already, so Amon needed something to make him do that, and this was a perfect opportunity.

Ace's tears kept falling as he punched the ground. "I will do as you say, Fool… my friend, I will do as you say."
