It was eight years later, most of the Whitebeard Pirates have occupied Daybreak. Ace and Marco were arm wrestling. Vista, Jozu, and Blamenco, were drinking heavily. Why you ask? Their protege, Kade was about to set off on a journey of his own.
Kade had become a friend of the Whitebeard Pirates ever since he ate the Devil Fruit Ace gave him. In those eight years since, Marco gave the okay to set up base in Daybreak, Kade had learned how to control his powers, and the entire crew had managed to get over the death of Edward Newgate.
"Hey Ace! Is this kid really as tough as you say is?" A crewmate asked.
"Why wouldn't he be?" Ace laughed. As he said that Marco slammed his fist onto the table. "Well...word 'round here says the Marines are gonna invade before the end of the week." "Meh...so what?" Blamenco said. "We can beat any marine thrown at us." "Even an Admiral?"
Everyone stopped what they were doing. Kade was shocked, he knew of the Admiral's power but to send one just for an invasion? There had to be a plan here.
"Okay here's the plan." Ace said, nervous of anything around him. "We get Kade on a dinghy out of here, before the Admiral shows up." "But-" "No buts Kade. The fact is you're not strong enough. "Toss him the bag" Blamenco grabbed a bag out of his pockets and tossed this to Kade. There's 5,000 beli in here and directions to Logue town.
"Ace you're overreacting." "No! I'm not! Admirals killed Whitebeard! I'm not gonna let them kill you!" Ace, fought back tears. No one wanted to bring up Pops. Ace placed his hat on the bag.
"Kade...Go."
Kade was like a waterfall. He ran out of the tavern, placing Ace's hat on his head. Marco started barking orders to get the ship ready. Even he was tearing up.
Kade stopped running. "Ace!" He screamed. " Ace heard him. "Kade! We'll be fine. We'll see you on the Grand Line!"
Kade, slowly started making his way to the dinghy. The smileys on Ace's hat were staring at him. He slid the hat on, and jumped into the dinghy.
"See ya, Mister Ace."
