Letting Ace Become a Marine Wouldn't Be So Bad

"Why do I have to help you?"

"Don't forget, we're enemies!!!"

"Don't be so heartless. We get along pretty well, don't we?"

Roger acted as if he had no idea what embarrassment was, grinning broadly as he spoke.

"But I have no interest in helping someone raise a kid~"

Austin was still young, so of course he did not want to waste his youth raising someone else's child and playing stay-at-home dad.

Or rather, most men in the world of pirates did not have that skill.

Just like Garp, who had even left his own grandson in the care of the Mountain Bandits.

Yasopp had abandoned his son to sail the seas for his dream.

Not to mention that Roger was leaving behind more than just a child—there was also a living, breathing young wife.

She was someone the World Government was watching closely. Austin was not afraid of the World Government, but he did not want to keep spending his energy on this sort of thing.

"By the way, why not leave them with Rayleigh and the others? Your relationship with them should be much better, right?"

Although Austin had ties with the Roger Pirates, they were not as deep as those Kong Ao had, not deep enough to make him throw everything aside without hesitation.

So he was quite confused.

"Each of them has their own mission to complete. I can't drag them down because of my own affairs..."

Roger's eyes carried a look of reminiscence, as though he had recalled something extraordinary.

Seeing that, Austin could not help becoming curious.

"Hey, Roger, can you tell me? What exactly is on Final Island?"

"Of course, it's fine if you don't want to say..."

Austin asked curiously. He did not have much desire or attachment to the Great Treasure.
