Reincarnator Ace (Second Update)
The Grand Line, the base of the Revolutionary Army.
Sakura Haruno, Sabo, Tenten...
All the Revolutionary Army cadres gathered together for a roundtable meeting.
At the south side of the round table, revolutionary leader Monkey D. Dragon had an indifferent expression, but his eyes were somewhat somber.
Sabo brought back good news.
He successfully rescued Fire Fist Ace.
But in this world, good fortune never comes in pairs, and misfortunes never come singly.
Before the dragon could even rejoice for long, it received devastating news.
Because of outdated information, Luffy stubbornly ventured into Impel Down to rescue Ace, only to be captured instead.
Damn it!
Sabo clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, his face full of self-blame and regret. "It's all my fault for not thinking things through. If I hadn't left Ace's Gigai behind, Luffy wouldn't have been captured so easily!"
Luffy received the Flame Emblem from Wang Yan in Thriller Park, and his dual-color Haki reached a high level. With the help of Gear Fourth Gear, he even possessed combat power comparable to Admiral.
If he hadn't been so clever as to leave behind Gigai to cover the retreat, with Luffy's strength and Naruto Uzumaki's cunning abilities from the Golden Army, they would at least have been able to protect themselves.
Upon hearing this, Sakura Haruno, who was standing next to her, frowned slightly.
She gave Sabo a "Truth Word: Enlightenment" spell to soothe his Mind Stone before advising him. "You have done your best. Don't blame yourself too much. No one can predict these things."
Sakura, who had exchanged for the Azeroth Discipline Priest ability, gradually upgraded to her second job— Third Tier Priest from the MapleStory —after completing multiple quests.
With the added advantage of her dual professions, she rose to the position of chief physician in the Revolutionary Army thanks to her formidable support and healing abilities.
"Leader, should we make a move?"
Tenten, she caressed the +7 enhanced XE98A Anti-Materiel Sniper Rifle in her hand, her beautiful eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light.
With this weapon in hand, she even possessed the confidence to hunt down legendary dragons without taking any damage.
Having obtained the Eyes of Death Perception from the "Type-Moon Great World," she can observe the existence of "death," a power comparable to the law of causality.
Once the "dead spot" is found, a single shot will be enough to kill even a god on the spot.
With this ability, she earned the title of "Grim Reaper Hunter" on the Grand Line.
Those who were Tenten being targeted, whether pirates, marines, or ordinary criminals, were unable to escape with their lives.
The bounty on her head by the World Government has reached 460 million Beli.
Long gritted his teeth, a look of resentment appearing on his face.
He closed his eyes in anguish. "I won't make a move."
It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't.
Despite the fact that the Revolutionary Army currently has many high-ranking combatants comparable to Admiral, in terms of overall combat strength, they are far, far behind the World Government.
Sometimes, quantitative change can lead to qualitative change.
The navy has an absolute numerical advantage.
If Dragon were merely a father, he would rush to Marineford without hesitation to save Luffy.
But as a leader, he had to be responsible for the Revolutionary Army soldiers under his command!
Putting personal interests before public duty is an error that cannot be tolerated under any circumstances.
A true king must possess this kind of magnanimity and awareness!
Otherwise, this force would never succeed, nor would it have any chance of realizing its vision.
Whitebeard Pirates' base.
The safe return of the Second Division Captain Fire Fist Ace and the Third Division Captain Diamond Jozu made the entire pirate crew celebrate for a whole day.
What is lost and then regained is what we cherish most.
This joy did not last long.
"What?"
Upon receiving the report from the fleet members, Ace's pupils instantly contracted into dangerous needle-like shapes, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
The wine bowl in his hand fell to the ground. He grabbed the crew member by the shoulders, his face contorted with rage. "Don't joke with me like that!"
"I'm not kidding! This is true!"
"Straw Hat Kid D. Monkey, the Straw Hat Luffy, and Naruto Uzumaki, the Golden Army, broke into Impel Down to save you, but they got captured!"
The messenger swallowed hard, feeling that the current captain was a bit scary.
He thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "The execution will be held publicly in Marineford in three days. It's definitely too late to save him now."
Ace knelt on the ground, his eyes blank.
Helplessness, anger, guilt, confusion...
"If only I had listened to Mr. Wang Yan back then..."
"If... I could be a little stronger."
There are no "ifs".
Sabo risked everything to save him.
Luffy was imprisoned while trying to save him.
Neither of Ace's sworn brothers disappointed him.
But Ace was disappointed in himself.
He was even somewhat desperate.
After so many years at sea, I feel like things are getting worse and worse.
The current situation reminded him of his time in the East Blue.
Kingdom of Goa, Mount Colubo, Leo's Workshop, Scrapheap Terminus...
That raging fire that burned the city, that band of mountain bandits who bullied the weak.
A sense of powerlessness welled up inside me.
At that moment, a mechanical voice echoed deep within Ace's mind.
Do you want to have enough power to protect everything?
[Whether]
Ace pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Yes."
[Your Reincarnator Number is 170. Your Novice Mission will be released within half an hour, so please prepare in advance.]
[Special case detected for Reincarnator 170; dimensional teleportation will be temporarily suspended.]
In the blink of an eye, all the information about the Main God, Reincarnator, Resource Points, Destiny Gem, and missions appeared deep in Ace's mind.
He took a deep breath, and the gloom of despair in his heart finally dissipated.
As Reincarnator, he has the opportunity to change everything.
Even if Ace couldn't save Luffy, he still had the possibility of reviving him.
However, that was just a backup plan.
Even if there was only the slightest chance, Ace wanted to try his best to rescue Luffy.
Upon receiving the news, Edward Newgate immediately declared his stance, "Rescue that brat named Luffy! Ace's brother is also our family!"
This demonstrates the responsibility of the Four Emperors.
"Rescuing someone from the execution ground?"
Wang Yan Marineford, at Marine Headquarters, observed everything that happened today through the perspective of the Reincarnator.
His lips curled slightly upward, and a smile of great interest appeared on his face, "An extraordinary person like him certainly has a fascinating story."
A conflict between beliefs and ideals, a fierce life-or-death struggle.
For that alone, the one million Resource Points required to unlock the Pirate Plane are well worth the price.
As for the more than one million points that have already been harvested (including those consumed), Wang Yan doesn't consider them particularly important.
After all, the Main God Space has now established connections with five world channels, so even if nothing is done, Resource Points will continue to flow in.
He's gotten used to seeing millions of Resource Points.
"Two leaders, different choices..."
The Revolutionary Army is an army, and Long's thoughts and decisions are in line with his own position.
Edward Newgate, made the opposite choice, also for the same reason.
Although the Four Emperors have the word "Emperor" in their titles, they are essentially violent gangs that prioritize loyalty.
Wang Yan admires both the dragon and the Whitebeard, but he will not recruit them as Reincarnator.
The former is compassionate, the latter is arrogant.
These two traits are unnecessary for Reincarnator.
Having passed through the most primitive stage of capital accumulation, Wang Yan became much stricter in selecting Reincarnator.
Perhaps after leaving this world, he will throw the two of them into the Reincarnation Space, where they will exist as "non-combatants" and be tempered by life.
Opportunities can only be earned by themselves.
