Roya pulled Ace up from the ground.
Roya introduced him to everyone. "Everyone, now that we're all here, Ace, introduce yourself!"
Hearing Roya's words, Ace said to everyone, "Everyone, I'm Ace, the Pirate King's son. My goal is to catch up to our leader and become even stronger. I look forward to working with you all."

"Alright. When I have time, I'll definitely train with this big guy and hone my abilities!"
At this moment, Ace had no idea what kind of massive pit Robin had dug for him!
Roya did not say anything about
