"Don't you dare talk about my grandpa and old man like that."
Ace's expression darkened at Bullet's impatient mockery.
Those two were the people he respected most.
He wouldn't let anyone insult them.
"Hmph!"
"They don't deserve to be your grandpa and old man. As Roger's son, you shouldn't be this weak!"
Bullet's face was stern.
As the only man who had ever defeated him, he couldn't stand seeing Roger's offspring turn out so useless.
It was practically an insult to Roger—and to him.
Any man who could defeat him, whether he himself or his descendants, should be invincible.

Take Golden Lion, for example.
They were all stubborn and eccentric, their way of thinking a hundred thousand miles removed from that of normal people.

"Garp and Newgate can't bring out your talent."
"You should be stronger than Roger."
Bullet's gaze was sharp.
He had an idea: train Ace until he was even stronger than Roger. Then, as long as Bullet defeated Ace, it would be the same as defeating Roger.
Defeating Roger—

"Demon Heir Douglas Bullet."
"Former member of the Roger Pirates."
Doflamingo knew that there was no chance of capturing Luo now that he had come to Sabaody Archipelago.
Going after Fire Fist Ace was no longer
