Sorry for the delay in the chapter. There was a wedding that I had to attend yesterday.

Three weeks later

(Ace's POV)

It has been three...

Nami said to Ace, "Could you please go up to the crow's nest for a bit? I think our destination is near."

"Alright, I will tell you when I can see an island." Ace said before climbing into the crow's nest.

Again, climbing up, I came across a rather extensive Crow Nest. This, again, didn't make any sense since it looked like an average size crow nest from the outside.

But then again, this ship and its crew also don't make sense.

I mean, how could anyone make sense of rooms on a ship? One of them could be used to train all types of skills, while the other one is an enormous swimming pool that shouldn't be possible on a ship of this size. As if that wasn't enough, this ship is also alive.

I brought a chair out of my crew card and sat in the spacious Crow Nest while looking at the ocean.

When I glanced at the blue ocean in front of me, I couldn't help but think about home, my little brother, and others I left behind to complete my worthless goal.

It has been three weeks now, three weeks since I abandoned the dream of becoming a pirate king to surpass my old man. All of this is in the hope of finding out what happened to Sabo and where he is now.

'And the answers I got,' I thought as I remembered the talk I had with Leo about my goals and my father.

'What you want is not to become a pirate king but to show the world that you are more than just Gol D Roger's son, right?'

'Then becoming the pirate king will not solve that problem. If by chance you become the pirate king, then the whole world will only say 'as excepted of Gol D Roger's son,' or some other things like that, then why are you so fixated on it?'

'Oh! Wait, I know because you have some serious daddy issues, my friend.'

'So, if you don't really have to prove anything to anyone, just do whatever you want to do.'

'And if it ever comes out who your father is... you don't have to worry about it. The whole crew will have your back, Ace.'

'Daddy issues,' I thought while playing with a crew card in my hand.

Another thing in this crew that doesn't make any sense is how the crew card determines skill level and other things, such as it shows how much of a threat someone is.

And it had almost all the necessary information about the sea and many other things.

If this is true, Sabo is alive and part of the revolution led by Dragon, my little brother's father.

Then what kind of family am I part of? A Grandpa who is a Marine Hero, while my father was a Pirate King, and now my uncle is the most wanted criminal alive.

"Ha-hahaha!" Ace busts into fits of laughter at the thought of it.

"Now I want to know how the world will react to this type of family connection, haha,"

.

"What is he laughing about?" Carina asked.

"Don't know, he always laughs at random moments," Nami replied dryly as she was more focused on the map in her hand.

"So, where is Nojiko?" Carina asked before she took out an ice cream-filled cup and duplicated it before passing it to her.

As a result of all the time and work Carina put into devil fruit training in the past three weeks, she now has the ability to duplicate multiple small items instantly without sacrificing much energy.

"You are getting really skilled at it," Nami congratulated her before taking the ice cream. "Nojiko is with Rindou, getting trained to hold her ground."

"Yeah, today is her day," Carina said with a grim look on her face, as Rindou's training is not a joke.

However, it also gave them the result, as all four became much stronger than before, with Nami and Carina reaching F power level and becoming better fighters.

While Nojiko has only reached an F- in her power level while increasing her shooting skill with guns.

But Rindou is the one that made the most improvement in all of them while increasing her skills mastery. She had grown from F- to E in just three weeks. She has also trained under the pressure of 2x the gravity and the support of various nutritional foods like berries and sea kings meat they hunted on this trip.

.

"Dodge!"

Nojiko stops doing her pull-ups and immediately drops to the ground to dodge.

And just as she landed, a few red sauce bullets passed there.

Nojiko looked at Rindou with contempt in her eyes. "Do you have to do that all the time? It is already tough enough to do pull-ups in this gravity."

Rindou just shrugs her shoulders before replying, "Yeah, I know it's really tough with me attacking you at random times, sometimes with a warning and other times without one. But it is also the most effective way to unlock Observation Haki, and you asked for my help with this, so you are getting that."

Nojiko sighed as she heard the same answer for Rindou for the third time today.

But then again, it's her fault for not listening to Nami's warning about it.

She told her that as far as cooking and training are concerned, Rindou is a slave driver.

"Fine, but can you please turn off the gravity thing?" Nojiko said with a tired face.

"No, not at all. That is the most crucial part of your training," Rindou instantly replied with a grin on her face.

"Jeez! Fine, I am doing it," Nojiko said before she quickly got back to completing her pull-up reps as she saw a whip forming in her hands.

.

"Damn, I was this close to defeating him," Zoro snarled as he walked out of his training.

"Still can't defeat that young master, Zoro," Dan said with a slight smile on his face.

"Do you really have to call him that?" Zoro asked annoyingly, "But I almost had him this time, but..."

"In the end, he pulled another trick from his ass and killed you, right?" Leo said while chuckling as he walked out of his training.

"You sound like this has happened a lot of times with you," Dan said from the side.

Leo replied, "Well, it happens a lot," before he could explain more about it, Nami's voice came from the crew card.

"Guys, we will reach Loguetown in ten minutes,"

"Let's go to the deck," Leo said before walking out of the training room.
