Chapter 1282 Grandfather and Grandson Want to Meet Again
From the perspective of the navy, Ace already considered him a dead man, and before executing the son of the Pirate King, the navy wanted to make the best use of him.
Ever since he was transferred from Impel Down to the Naval Prison, the face Ace saw most often was the annoying face of Caesar Courant.
Every time the two met, Caesar Courant couldn't help but sneer at Ace. As a morally corrupt scientist, he was never kind to his experimental subjects.
Caesar Courant extracted Ace's bone marrow and blood for future experimental data and to prepare feasible clones under future conditions.
Ace probably won't be able to see whether his great experiment will succeed, as Caesar Clown is madly overdrawing the body of the son of the Pirate King.
If Garp had not been alive and active in the navy, Caesar Kulang would certainly not be satisfied with just extracting bone marrow and blood and taking Ace's organs for experiments without any psychological burden.
In fact, Caesar Clown only needed to ensure that when the son of the Pirate King was publicly executed, he would still be able to speak, to publicly prove that Ace was not dead, so as to boost the morale of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Performing any experiment on Ace to ensure the most basic form of life, even giving him some adrenaline drugs to maintain basic life with drugs, are also options.
There are many ways to torture Ace beyond recognition, and most members of the navy will not show mercy to the son of the Pirate King.
If Sengoku had not considered Garp's attitude and did not want to fall out with his good friend, Ace's treatment and situation would only have gotten worse.
Due to frequent blood draws every day, the veins in Ace's arms could no longer draw blood and the blood vessels had collapsed. He was extremely weak due to lack of blood.
If the execution has not come yet, Ace suspects that he might be bled to death in a few days. Caesar Clown has an interest in the bloodline of the son of the Pirate King beyond others.
Ace remembered the spoilers of Future Sky. Caesar Clown smuggled the bloodline factors of the three admirals to create three murloc versions of the admirals, which caused a lot of trouble for Smoker when he was hunting down the internal traitors.
Preserving the blood of the son of the Pirate King, Ace suspects that Caesar Clown has bigger ambitions. He will not be satisfied with just cloning the Fire Fist, he should want to replicate the Pirate King Roger.
Roger is already dead and his body may not even be found. The father and son are connected by blood, and at least half of their bloodline factors match. Cloning Fire Fist Ace will not greatly increase the combat power, so cloning Roger is the real skill.
"Oh, it's time to draw blood again." Ace heard footsteps coming from a distance outside the prison and thought that it was the same as usual. Caesar Courant sent scientific researchers to draw blood again.
Ace raised his two arms that were restrained by seastone. Just with this simple action, a few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead. He lost too much blood in just a few days, making him extremely weak.
The arm that he once prided himself on being able to throw a fire fist has now become extremely thin, skin and bones, with muscles degenerating. Blood could be drawn with a small needle before, but now a large needle is needed.
Ending up in such a miserable situation, Ace couldn't help but let out a bitter smile. Was all this his own fault?
Ace underestimated Blackbeard Teach's ambition and strength. It wouldn't be a big deal if he died, but he would also be buried with his sworn brothers and Whitebeard. Every time Ace thought about this, he felt extremely guilty.
Now that Fire Fist has become a prisoner, he is no longer the rising pirate star who defeated the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Ace can't change anything and can only wait for his death silently, hoping that he will die soon.
"Fire Fist Ace, someone is here to see you, hurry up and get up to meet them"
Hearing the jailer's cold voice, Ace slowly raised his head. He was now extremely haggard, with dishevelled hair and a dirty face, like a beggar.
Ace raised his bloodshot eyes and through the prison bars, he saw the familiar face - Garp.
Cap's old face was full of sorrow, and his eyes were also bloodshot, as if reflecting the endless pain in his heart. The old man hadn't slept for several days, and his heart was not feeling well.
Ace had mixed feelings, including complicated emotions towards Garp, pride in being a pirate, and calmness about his impending fate. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
And Garp just stood there quietly, his eyes never leaving Ace, his lips trembling slightly, as if he had thousands of words to say, but in the end it just turned into a heavy sigh.
"Ace, I..." Garp finally squeezed out these two words with difficulty, his voice hoarse and low.
Ace suppressed his inner turmoil and forced a bitter smile, "Old man, your coming to see me means my prison time is about to end, right? I can finally be free"!
During the days when he was imprisoned by the navy, Garp came every time to see his grandson, but each time he was stopped by the navy guarding the prison gate because he did not have the approval of Marshal Sengoku.
There are two stains in the life of the navy hero. One is that he adopted the son of the Pirate King, and the other is that he was a poor parent and his son became the leader of the Revolutionary Army and his grandson became a pirate.
If we look beyond these two stains, Garp is definitely a positive image of a navy man with good conduct. He occasionally educates his subordinates with his fists, but he has never been a person who draws a salary without doing anything or exploits the blood of his soldiers.
If his subordinates were treated unfairly, Garp would even stand up for justice for the grassroots navy. Since he was not promoted to admiral, his own constraints were not that great, and he could say whatever he wanted as a vice admiral.
Therefore, Garp has gained the favor of a large number of grassroots navy personnel, and is also the navy's golden signboard to the outside world. After all, Garp's record is not exaggerated, but the result of real fighting!
Ace had lived with Garp since he was a child, and knew that the old man had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. The fact that he did not come to see him immediately but suddenly came to see him a few days later meant that his affairs were finally settled.
Garp clenched his hands into fists until his knuckles turned white, and he said in a choked voice: "Sengoku has set a time of ten days, the navy will publicly execute you in Marinford."
The old man grabbed the railing angrily, tears welling up in his eyes. If there were no outsiders around, the emotional Garp might have torn down the prison and rescued his grandson.
The only remaining rationality in Garp's mind kept reminding him not to act recklessly. Destroying the prison would only make Ace's situation worse. The hope of saving his grandson still had to rest with Whitebeard.
It’s a pity that before his death, Roger believed in Garp’s character and entrusted his posthumous son to him. What a great trust this was. Now the son of One Piece is only 20 years old and is about to go to hell to meet his biological father.
Roger used his life to create the pirate era, but in the end his own son became a sacrifice like other children. Ace probably never had the chance to see what One Piece is.
If the Straw Hat Pirates led by Luffy can reach the final island after overcoming numerous difficulties and dangers, they may burn the secret of One Piece to Ace after his death.
Let him know whether the so-called Pirate King treasure left by his father who only cared about his birth but not his upbringing was a scam or something else.
