Edward Weevil, Dad's son, already possessed strength comparable to an Admiral! Especially these past few days, after Miss Kaya healed Edward Weevil's injuries, he had grown even stronger! And after we gave him Dad's notes and taught him how to fight, his strength skyrocketed in just a few days! Even Dad praised Edward Weevil, saying he resembled Dad in his youth. If he were given the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, he would become even stronger! So we were already planning to search for the Crush-Crush Fruit, which was similar to the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. After all, that fruit appeared during the No Return Island War!
Once we found it, Edward Weevil would become even stronger, perhaps even reaching Dad's peak state! Just think about it—when the time came, you could marry Crocodile. And Edward Weevil, with only a child's intellect, would definitely obey his sister! Then you could lead Edward Weevil, with Dad backing you up. Our Whitebeard Pirates would still be the strongest among the Five Emperors!"
Marco spoke excitedly, as if he could already see a glorious future!
"Pfft..." Ace nearly spat blood, staring wide-eyed as he said, "You bastards have even planned out my future! I can truly feel how shameless you are! Shameless..."
Ace was too stunned to speak. Feeling Marco and the others' shamelessness, he felt as if a herd of wild beasts were stampeding through his heart!
In the end, Ace held his head and muttered, "Am I dreaming? This dream is too terrifying! I need to wake up!"
Ace wished he were dreaming so he could wake himself up!
Marco and the others laughed, seemingly enjoying Ace's dumbfounded expression!
Ren held back his laughter and said, "Ace... Crocodile's situation is real, so don't doubt any of this! As for you and Crocodile, think it over carefully.
