Wait, what?
How had it ended so quickly?!
Ace, pull yourself together!
You were the Second Division Commander of our Whitebeard Pirates!
"Captain Ace?"
The pirates were dumbfounded too.
In that instant, they had vaguely seen Captain Ace charge up to the man, only to be floored by an elbow. Then his opponent had hoisted Ace onto his back and spiraled into the sky.
And that was that.
The defeat was downright painful to watch!
They would have done better themselves. At least they wouldn't have embarrassed Pops.
"Hahaha, that was a close one."
Good walked toward the commanders, laughing heartily. "If I'd lost to Ace, I'd have had nowhere to show my face as one of the Beasts Pirates' All-Stars."
"An All-Star?!"
The commanders were startled.
"Huh? Didn't Ace tell you?"
Surprise showed in Good's eyes.
"Then let me formally introduce myself again. My name is Groudon Good, one of the Beasts Pirates' four All-Stars. Pleased to meet you!"
"Uh, pleased to meet you!"
The commanders returned the greeting awkwardly.
Well, that was a relief.
Ace losing to one of the Beasts Pirates' highest-ranking officers was a little embarrassing, but not that embarrassing. After all, Ace was still a newcomer.
"Oh, right!"
Good snapped his fingers, and his subordinates immediately carried over more than a dozen large barrels of fine liquor, along with some specialties from Wano Country, setting them before the commanders.
Good smiled. "I heard that Kaido and Whitebeard once sailed on the same ship. I thought I shouldn't come empty-handed, so I made a point of bringing some fine liquor and local specialties. Sorry for the trouble, but could you pass them on to Captain Whitebeard?"
"Well..."
The commanders looked at Marco.
You decide!
Marco felt conflicted.
Accepting them didn't seem right.
Refusing them didn't seem
