Ace Is Born!!!

People who frequently live at sea believe that the ocean has emotions.

The sea level fluctuates, sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes with splashing waves, sometimes calm and still.

When the waves splash, the seawater rolls up high waves, rushing into the air and then falling back down, endlessly.

And its emotions can also affect the emotions of those who observe the sea.

Like someone from the Sengoku standing on the deck of a warship, gazing out at the sea.

His anger gradually subsided as the waves washed over him.

But the sorrow in his eyes was as thick as ink, impossible to dispel.

"Try to think positively. Conquering Otherworld is an unstoppable trend for the World Government. With your intelligence, you should be able to understand this."

Standing on the left side of the Sengoku, the crane comforted its companion with a gentle whisper unique to women.

"I know."

The former shook his head with a bitter expression and sighed, "I just never imagined that the navy would fall into my hands. This is simply..."

He couldn't continue, but his old friends beside him understood the deeper meaning behind his words.

At this moment, even the usually carefree Garp was silent and in low spirits.

These men have spent half their lives fighting for the Navy's justice.

It was originally thought that with their support, plus the appearance of three top-tier Logia users, the Navy's power would reach an unprecedented level.

Unexpectedly, a small Star Gate that even Giants couldn't pass through to shatter them into pieces.

The world has changed Dadu it's almost unrecognizable.

"Sengoku, you should have already received the news that Gion has suppressed Wano Country!"

"The Beasts Pirates contributed a lot, and Kaido has been confirmed to have been recruited. Judging from the fact that he didn't join the Army like Byndi Wald and Douglas Bullet, he's probably going to be assigned to the new Air Force mentioned by the Minister Kong, and his abilities are indeed suitable."

As she spoke of these things, Tsuru's mature and charming face was filled with worry, Sengoku immediately understood what she wanted to say.

"You mean it won't be long before 'Whitebeard' and 'Charlotte Linlin' are also captured, or even Shiki the Golden Lion in Impel Down!"

Tsuru nodded and said with a wry smile, "Yes, then the navy, without any rivals, will definitely be looked down upon even more. You need to be mentally prepared, Sengoku."

Even she now thinks that Sengoku is really unlucky to be the Navy Fleet Admiral.

Some even suspect that the Minister Kong had foreseen all of this, which is why he gave this hopeless position to Sengoku.

"."

Besides sighing inwardly, Sengoku had nothing more to say.

At this moment, Garp, who was standing to his right, finally smiled and said cheerfully:

"There's no need to be so pessimistic. Just because our navy has no rivals on Sea Star doesn't mean those in Otherworld don't either."

"Didn't Tsuru go to that Kabane World once before?"

"Since that world also has oceans, it means that oceans exist not only here."

"Then sooner or later the navy will be needed!"

"But the Star Gate is only two meters wide and three meters high. Warships can't get in at all. What kind of navy is it if there are no warships?" Crane asked helplessly.

"This"

Garp scratched the back of his head, unsure what to say.

"Although we don't know how the Star Gate came about, there are only two ways to get our navy involved in the Otherworld warfare."

By this time, Sengoku had regained his composure from his dejection. Gazing upon Marineford and the Justice Fortress, which now came into view, he said in a deep voice:

"Either the height and width of the Star Gate change, or we can build warships directly in the Otherworld and have our navy operate them!"

"It should be the second one, but that would be too troublesome."

The crane sighed.

Although she is no longer a member of the Navy, she still cares about the future of the Navy.

Then she realized there was no point in saying anything more, and brushed her bangs, which had been ruffled by the sea breeze.

"Speaking of which, Rouge is about to give birth, and that's why I came back with you all."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Garp became quite agitated.

He had promised Roger he would help take care of Rouge and her unborn child, but he hadn't seen them since they moved to the Female Soldier Camp. He never imagined that she would be giving birth so soon.

"I wonder if that bastard's child is a boy or a girl."

About an hour later, as the warship slowly docked at the fortress port, the three went their separate ways again. Garp wanted to go see Rouge, but Tsuru refused.

After all, it's really not appropriate for a woman about to give birth to meet a thick-skinned man like him; it's better to wait until the day she gives birth.

"Vice Admiral Tsuru!!!"

When He appeared at the gate of the Female Soldier Camp, the female officers who had already received the news were so excited that they burst into tears, and some of them rushed into her arms.

We miss you so much!

"Hehehe, I miss everyone too. I'll be staying for a few days this time," He said gently, supporting the girl in his arms.

When she left the Marine Headquarters to be transferred to the General Staff.

I had actually considered bringing all my female subordinates with me.

The problem is that it's located on Red Line.

Therefore, the Army is responsible for the security of the Supreme Command of the Armed Forces.

"I heard Rouge is about to give birth? I'd like to go see her."

Upon hearing He's words, the female generals around him, whose heights, figures, and hair colors varied greatly, also showed excited expressions.

Yes, we're about to have a new baby here!

"Just thinking about it makes me so excited!"

It's not that no babies are born in Marineford, but they all end up in the family quarters in the rear. There are practically none that are kept and raised in the barracks.

There was nothing she could do; Rouge's identity was special.

A moment later, Tsuru finally returned to her former home, which, of course, is now entirely Zero's home.

Several months have passed.

It seems that not much has changed; it is still so clean and tidy, with a faint floral fragrance in the air.

Everything felt so familiar.

"Who are you?"

There seems to be an extra person in the courtyard.

A tiny little girl, who looked no older than five, with white Little Loli and somewhat strange clothes.

A white sleeveless fitted kimono paired with a red long skirt.

The most striking feature is the pair of long, curved red horns on its head, which clearly indicates that it is not a normal human.

"This child is..."

Crane looked at Samantha beside her with a puzzled expression.

She is a newly appointed Vice Admiral the naval Female Soldier Unit, and also the subordinate who has been by his side the longest.

"She's Kaido's daughter, her name is Yamato, and she hasn't been here long."

Lieutenant Vice Admiral Samantha leaned close to Crane's ear and whispered her explanation.

"Since you and Gion left, only Rouge has been living in this courtyard. We saw that she was lonely, so we let her stay here."

"The main thing is that this child is too sensible, not at all like a four-year-old. She was very shy at first and wouldn't respond to anyone who spoke to her. Strangely, she and Rouge became close very quickly, like a real mother and daughter."

Hearing this, Tsuru looked at Yamato, recalling their earlier conversation on the ship about Kaido being recruited.

She now has a feeling that, following Roger's wife and Kaido's daughter, will there be Big Mom's daughter and Whitebeard's son in the future?

Empress.

On November 1st, 1498 in the Marine Calendar, at 11:11 AM, the hottest time of the day.

Portgas D. Rouge gave birth to a baby boy at the Marineford hospital.

"Hahaha, it's a boy! That's wonderful! I'll definitely train him to be an outstanding naval officer!"

Garp looked at the baby in the Cradle and laughed out loud.

"Shut up, you're going to scare the child!"

Sengoku quickly covered the bastard's mouth, and Tsuru, sitting next to Rouge's bedside, also looked at him reproachfully.

"It's alright, Ace isn't that delicate. After all, he is..."

Rouge smiled slightly.

Compared to her death after enduring twenty months in the original story...

It seems we can now watch Ace grow up normally.

"Hmm, Zero's child? So ugly."

At this moment, Xiao Yamato and Xiao He were standing on tiptoe, lying beside the Cradle.

She gently pinched Ace's wrinkled cheek with her soft, white hands.

He then showed a look of disgust.

"Waaaaaah!!"

I don't know if it was because I was pinched too hard, or because I was angered by her words.

The child suddenly burst into tears and slapped away Yamato's fingers.

The physique of these Sea Star Person is somewhat extraordinary, even for an infant.

Holy crap, Ace is born! Shouldn't everyone vote for him? Let's celebrate the birth of Fire Fist!!
