## One Piece Chapter 159, pages 14-15: Come Up - Chapter: 159 - Pages: 14-15 - Characters: Ace, Luffy, Billions, Nami, Usopp, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper, Vivi ### Summary Page 14: Ace explains his mission to Luffy, "He committed the worst crime you can commit on a ship... Killing a fellow crew member and then running away. In short, he's my subordinate. But he used to be a member of the Whitebeard Pirates' 2nd division." Ace continues, "I'm currently chasing after somebody... He's apparently been calling himself 'Blackbeard' these days." Luffy asks, "Why don't you stay with us a little longer!? C'mon, it's been so long!" Ace replies, "I told you already. Meeting up with you was just an added bonus in coming here." Looking out at the ocean, Ace says, "As the division commander, it's my responsibility to see that he meets his end. If it weren't for something as serious as that, I'd never sail all the way back the other way on the Grand Line." In a close-up, Ace smiles confidently and says, "The next time we'll meet, Is when you're at the pirates' 'top.'" Luffy smiles back at him. Page 15: Meanwhile, the Baroque Works Billions are running towards their ships. One yells, "THE 2ND DIVISION COMMANDER OF THE WHITEBEARD PIRATES IS HERE!? I AIN'T KIDDING! I SAW 'FLAME FIST ACE' WITH MY OWN TWO EYES!" They cheer, "IF WE CAN KILL HIM, THEN OUR PROMOTION TO NUMBERED AGENTS IS ALL BUT GUARANTEED! GET BACK TO THE SHIP! WE'LL FINISH HIM OFF ON THE SEAS!" Back on the Going Merry, the crew watches Ace leave. Nami is in disbelief, "What...!? There's no way such a polite and rational guy, Could actually be Luffy's older brother!" Usopp stammers, "N-now, now... I always imagined if Luffy had an older brother, he'd be even more 'Luffy' than Luffy, if you know what I mean." Zoro smiles, "Brotherhood's a wonderful thing, isn't it?" Sanji adds, "He's... Such a good older brother! Well, whaddya know... The world's a strange and mysterious place." Luffy waves from the deck, "SEE YA, ACE!" Ace rides away on his small, flame-powered striker boat, looking back over his shoulder.
