【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

Chapter 420 It’s me who will become the Pirate King!

"No, I'm fine!" Luffy immediately climbed onto Marco's shoulders and retorted to Lucci who was chasing them.

"You need to! Marco, stop it! You don't know how much trouble you've gotten yourself into! Give him back now!"

Marco grinned. This kid couldn't possibly be any more trouble than Ace had been when he first came aboard. "Come on, Ace, if he's really that difficult, you should introduce him to us."

"We'll introduce them, you should return him to us now!" Ace retorted with a pout.

"No, if I did you would just leave him with your brothers." Marco grinned, now he understood why Thatch had made this plan, it was indeed very interesting, normally he wouldn't play it like this but the Moby Dick had really become depressed during this period.

Now that Ace and Lucci have been rescued, they are both awake, Luffy is also awake, and it is time for Moby to regain his vitality. Introducing Ace and Lucci's little brother to everyone is obviously a very interesting activity, and Ace and Lucci are really cute around their little brother, which makes them have to do this.

"Let's go see Dad first!" Marco showed a sly smile as he looked at the three brothers who were catching up. Once Dad saw the child, it would take some time for Ace and Lucci to bring him back. Ace should know by now that he must share and introduce his brother to us instead of showing off the wanted poster in front of them and passing him by.

This was something they were supposed to do together later, not like now, where the three brothers were forced to follow Marco, who was holding Luffy, and watch him show off to the others! And that wasn't all. Ace looked anxiously at his other two brothers, "We can't let him do this. Luffy will piss off Dad!"

"It's too late." Luffy sighed and looked at Marco who was parked in front of his father's seat. Luffy was climbing on Marco's shoulders, trying to see more clearly.

"Maybe not." Sabo said hesitantly. Whitebeard shouldn't be angry with Luffy.

"But Luffy will arouse Dad's interest." Lucci sighed and said, "And then he will want him to join."

"Luffy won't agree to join, so they might fight!" Ace added anxiously, then sped up and rushed towards Luffy, trying to cover Luffy's mouth before he said something shocking.

"Hello, kid, you are the little brother Ace has been talking about." Whitebeard grinned and looked at the little guy who jumped from Marco to the deck. Although his body was a little unstable when he landed, it can be seen that he is a very tenacious little guy. "You are very brave."

"Old man, you are..." Luffy put his hands on his hips and was about to speak, but Ace rushed over.

"Hey, Dad, are you okay?" Ace's face was pale, and he grinned at his father. He put one hand on Luffy's shoulders and quickly covered Luffy's mouth with the other hand.

"Gulalala, I'm fine, son." Whitebeard replied with a smile, "You should rest in the infirmary for a while longer."

"Hello, Mr. Whitebeard, I am..." Sabo smiled and was about to bow slightly, but before he could finish, an arm suddenly pressed on his shoulder, causing him to stagger.

Lucci put his arm around Sabo's neck and brought him towards him, then gave Whitebeard a smug smile, "Dad! This is Sabo, our brother!"

"Gulala, Lucci and Ace's family are my family too, it's nice to meet you, so welcome Sabo, Luffy." Whitebeard could see the obvious joy in Lucci and Ace's eyes and chuckled.

Sabo grinned, it seemed they were happy to know this.

"Luffy! Don't do this!" Ace immediately let go of Luffy's shoulders, and was shocked by Luffy's action of licking his palm, so he quickly pulled his hand back.

"Hey, old man, are you Captain Ace?" Luffy put his hands on his hips and continued what he hadn't finished saying, "Ace must have let you be the captain because he was giving in to you!"

"Gulala!" Whitebeard said with a broad grin, "Since you know I'm his captain, then you must know that I'm definitely better than him!"

Luffy looked at Whitebeard seriously, Lucci and Sabo couldn't help laughing. They could see that Luffy was using his little head to think about this problem seriously, while Ace was embarrassed. He really wanted to cover Luffy's mouth, but Luffy's admiring look on him was too cute.

"That's not right, Ace is the best, he's even stronger!" Luffy declared. "He might be giving in to you to make you happy, he's a really nice guy!"

Lucci and Sabo couldn't help but burst out laughing the moment Luffy finished speaking. Ace's face instantly turned red as he stared at his two brothers. He could feel that everyone was looking at him with interest, with a clear look of anticipation in their eyes.

"Gulala, I like this brat, hey, Marco..." Whitebeard immediately burst into laughter and turned to look at Marco with a grin.

Marco's expression was helpless, yet a little funny. When he was about to say something, Ace interrupted him.

"Give up dad, Luffy will never join you. I already asked him, I'm his brother and he would rather fight me than give up being captain." Ace couldn't help but laugh.

Sabo couldn't help but laugh as he saw the strongest man in the world pouting in dissatisfaction after hearing what Ace said.

Hearing his father's words, Lucci dropped his arm from Sabo's shoulder and turned to face Ace and Luffy thoughtfully. Would now be a good time?

"Luffy, do you want to join?" Lucci asked. "Well, this way you will have more brothers."

"Of course not, and you are my brothers. Having you as my brothers is enough." Although Luffy didn't understand why Lucci asked this, he still grinned and replied, "I don't need anyone else to be my brother!"

"Lucci, what are you doing?" Ace and Sabo looked at Lucci in confusion. Why was he trying to get Luffy to join? "Why did you suddenly ask Luffy this and say that? You should know that Luffy will definitely not join. He has his own dreams."

"Ah, I know." Lucci looked at the grinning Luffy, smiled, and stopped worrying about it. Since Luffy didn't want to, then forget it. He could help Luffy realize his dream himself. He would never let such a thing happen again. No matter what, he would not make mistakes again.

"Old man, I won't join you. One day I will become the Pirate King!" Luffy stared at Whitebeard with a provocative look. Even if Lucci and Ace really liked this old guy, Luffy still wouldn't let him defeat him!

"Luffy, you know who this is, right?" Sabo sighed.

"Of course, he's Whitebeard, right?" He wasn't stupid. He knew that this tall guy was the one Ace and Lucci had been talking about. Luffy pointed at Whitebeard again and shouted seriously, "I know you want to be the Pirate King, don't you? But, it's me who's going to be the Pirate King!"

There was silence all around, Ace was suffocating beside him, he knew clearly what his father was capable of, his brother would be killed, Ace immediately began to think about what he would do if Luffy and his father fought, maybe he could teach Luffy some assassination techniques, just when Ace was thinking, his father spoke, it seemed that he was just amused, Ace was instantly relieved.

"Gulalalalal, naughty little devil, we'll see what happens."
