This time they met Sabo's father, Altluk III, which completely ruined their interest in having a big meal.

The city left a bad impression on them.

Ignorant nobles, foolish royal family.

No matter how gorgeous the city looks on the outside, it is cold and decadent on the inside.

In addition to repeatedly making Sabo feel uncomfortable, Ace no longer wanted to stay in this place.

Why not go back to Dadan's house.

Although there are no gorgeous buildings or delicious meals there, there is the warmth of home.

Compared with these nobles who are beautifully dressed, elegant in manners but with snake-like hearts, the Dadan family, although they are bandits, behave rudely and carelessly, but their hearts are warm.

Ace, Sabo and Luffy ran all the way towards the city gate, exited the city gate, returned along the original path, climbed through the Kolb Mountains, and came to the middle of the mountain forest.

Encountering a wild boar in the forest, they knocked it down and roasted it on the spot as a substitute for the feast they had just missed.

In the mountains and forests, bonfires burned below and wild boars barbecued above.

The three teenagers were sitting in front of the fire, holding wooden bowls just made from wood blocks in their hands. They stared at the wild boar being cooked, smelling the aroma of the barbecue, salivating in their mouths, and kept swallowing.

"Why isn't it good? I really want to eat it. I'm already hungry."Luffy muttered, patting his belly.

But he had already eaten a lot of snacks in the city before.

Ace and Sabo listened to Luffy's complaints and wanted to complain. This kid is too good at eating.

But when they thought of His stomach also smelled the aroma of barbecue and he became hungry, so he didn't say anything.

Sabo looked at the burning firewood and suddenly said to Luffy and Ace:

"Actually, I didn’t mean to hide it from you."

"What?"Ace asked casually.

"Regarding my family affairs and the fact that I am the son of a noble, I just hope that we can be good friends and not let these things affect our relationship."

Sabo first met Ace in the garbage dump. The two didn't know each other before fighting. After that, they hit it off. Sabo thought that Ace was just a child of an ordinary bandit family, and he was also an orphan.

In this world, there is a natural relationship between nobles and commoners. There is a layer of ravine. This is not something that he thinks will disappear. The other party's thoughts and the thoughts of the people around him will affect them. The common people's view of the nobles is either kneeling and licking like a dog, or they are trembling and shrinking. , either they can't avoid it, or they hate hostility.

There are very few people who can still maintain an ordinary mentality after knowing that the other party is a noble.

Sabo doesn't want this to affect the friendship between him and Ace, and affect Ace's treatment of him. attitude, so he has been hiding his identity and letting himself interact with him like an ordinary person.

In addition, he has no good impression of his family and identity, and even feels a little ashamed of it, so he doesn't want to mention it.

But now, Ace and Luffy already know, and they also know the dirty things he has done to the Goa nobles, including his family and father.

He feels that he has to confess to them, regardless of his family. No matter what, he was the same Saab who grew up and lived with them from beginning to end.

"I can understand that."Ace smiled slightly,

"Everyone has some things they don’t want to say, and I do too, but Saab, don’t worry, no matter who your father is or what your identity is, one thing will not change, that is, we are friends and brothers. We also want to catch bad guys in the navy together and become admirals together."

"That's right."Luffy wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, turned to Sabo and said,"Ace is right, we are good friends and brothers, um, isn't this roast pig ready yet?"

Ace's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, this foodie

"Thank you, thank you."Saab laughed heartily when he heard them.

"Don't think too much."Ace patted Sabo on the shoulder,"Your father is your father, and you are you. You did the right thing today. Luffy and I fully support your actions. From now on, you can be yourself and don't care. their thoughts.

And speaking of father, I am not qualified to have any opinion against you for this reason."

At this point, Ace took a deep breath,"Actually, I also have a secret that I'm hiding from you. I've been hesitant to tell you before, but today I decided to tell you about it.

Although both Dadan and the old man asked me to keep this secret, no one should tell it.

But I think, since we are good brothers, it’s okay to tell you. You will keep this secret for me, right?"

"certainly."Sabo and Luffy looked at Ace together and saw that he was so serious. It seemed that he had something very important to say.

"Let me show it off, I am actually the son of Roger, the Pirate King."

Sabo and Luffy's eyes widened immediately. Luffy next to them didn't even care about the wild boar on the fire, and looked at Ace with wide eyes.

"What?! Ace, are you the son of Roger, the Pirate King?"

"It's incredible"

"how can that be possible? I'd never heard that Roger had a son, and it's been almost seventeen years since Roger died, but you're my age now?"Saab was a little confused.

"That's exactly what it is."Ace nodded and said,"When Roger died, I was still in my mother's womb. At that time, the navy got the news that the Pirate King might have a child, so it came to the island where my mother was.

In order to prevent her pregnancy from being discovered, my mother endured it for two years before giving birth to me, but because of this, she died after giving birth to me."

Speaking of this matter, Ace's face looked a little lonely.

This was the first time for Sabo and Luffy to hear about these secrets.

Doesn't this mean that Ace's father was killed by the navy, and so was Ace's mother? He died because of the Navy, so how could Ace choose to join the Navy? He should have hated the Navy.

When Sabo asked this question, Ace said calmly:

"I did hate the Navy before, but not because I hated them for killing Roger, but because my mother died because of them.

But what I hate more is myself, Roger. If it hadn't been for me, my mother would not have died.

If it weren't for Roger, my mother wouldn't have suffered like this, and this guy also started the Age of Pirates and plunged the entire world into misery.

I asked almost everyone about Roger before, and I could see hatred in their mouths and eyes. I even wondered whether I should have been born, and whether it was a mistake to allow such a sinful bloodline to continue..
