Roger, Whitebeard, Sengoku, Spade Pirates, Marines, Whitebeard Pirates ### Summary Page 6: Garp brings baby Ace to Dadan and orders, "You raise him, Dadan." Dadan is shocked and asks whose kid this is, while a young Luffy watches as Garp says Ace will live there from now on and tells him to be friendly with these people. Back in the present, Ace says he took his mother's name because he owes her a great debt and does not care about the blood he got from that worthless man. He repeats that the only father he has is Whitebeard. Sengoku notes that two years earlier, as captain of the Spade Pirates, Ace rose through the pirate world with great strength, and the Government finally noticed Roger's blood had survived. Page 7: Sengoku says Whitebeard realized the truth at the same time the Government did. To raise Ace into the next Pirate King, Whitebeard took his former rival's son onto his own ship. Ace rejects that, shouting, "No!!! I joined his crew to make Whitebeard the next Pirate King..." Sengoku answers that Ace is the only one who thinks so. The Marines could not take reckless action because Ace was protected by Whitebeard. If they had left him alone, Sengoku says, Ace would slowly but surely gain the qualities to stand at the summit of the pirate world, which is why there is so much meaning in cutting him down today.
