Isn't It Good For You To Be A Soy Sauce King?

"If you want him to be your son, then you have to call his grandfather 'Daddy' first?"

The words fell flat, but to the ears of the Whitebeard Pirates, it was nothing short of a huge provocation.

In this world, only our father accepts his sons. How could anyone dare to make our father call them 'father'?

What if Daddy called you 'Daddy'?

So what do we do?

Call you Grandpa?

For a moment, an intense coldness swept over Finn.

In truth, Finn didn't dislike Whitebeard. It was just that what Whitebeard had said—Finn added his own twist to it.

"Gu la la la!"

When Whitebeard saw Finn, standing there boldly and speaking in such a tone, he didn't get angry. Instead, he laughed heartily.

"Haha! First it was Ace, and now it's you! Are young people these days so bold?"

"Boy! What's your name?" Whitebeard asked, his voice full of curiosity.

At this, Ace, who had been struggling to regain some strength, suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky.

Then, his eyes went wide in shock.

Had he seen this wrong?

He rubbed his eyes and looked again.

No way...

It couldn't be!

"Isn't that my brother?" Ace stammered, unable to believe his own eyes.

"Brother? What are you doing here?" Ace was in utter disbelief.

His words hit the air like a thunderclap, and the entire Whitebeard Pirates crew froze in surprise.

A brother?

This young man, who had just arrived, was actually Ace's older brother?

What kind of family was this?

Not only did they produce one prodigy, but now they were giving birth to a pair of them?

Finn stepped lightly onto the air and floated down, walking over to Ace's side. Without asking for permission, he grabbed five attribute pills and shoved them into Ace's mouth.

No matter if Ace agreed or not.

Then Finn formed a soul chain!

Ace, who felt a strange presence invading his soul, was about to resist when Finn spoke in a calm tone: "Don't resist."

Instinctively, Ace stopped struggling.

The soul chain was soon completed, and Ace felt a strange surge of energy.

Without missing a beat, Finn pressed his hand onto Ace's back.

"Medical Ninjutsu—Rejuvenation!"

In an instant, Ace's injuries began to heal, and more than half of his physical strength was restored.

"What?! Did Ace's older brother just heal him?"

"Not only that, Ace looks healthier, and he seems to have regained a lot of his strength!"

"What kind of Devil Fruit is this? Is it a healing fruit?"

"Seems like Ace's older brother is as strong as he is!"

Witnessing this, even the most dense member of the crew realized that Finn was no ordinary man.

"Brother, how did you...?" Ace stammered, still in disbelief.

He stood up and tested his body. His injuries were almost fully healed, but what really stunned him was the sudden increase in his overall stats.

Strength, agility, perception, spirit—all enhanced!

It was nearly three times what it had been before!

As Ace stood, everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates gasped in shock.

"Father, is it just me, or does Ace seem even stronger now?" Marco murmured, blinking his tired eyes.

Whitebeard narrowed his gaze, sensing Ace's energy and giving a slow shake of his head.

"No, Marco, you're not mistaken. Ace's strength has definitely improved."

Finn patted Ace on the shoulder with a smirk. "Don't ask too many questions. Just know that your big brother is pretty strong! It's like playing with you."

Ace rolled his eyes, thinking, If you weren't my older brother, I'd show you just how strong I really am!

At that moment, in Ace's mind, Finn was like a "powerful caretaker" of sorts.

But before anyone could process the situation further, Jinbei, still lying on the ground, shifted slightly, trying to look up to see who had arrived.

When his eyes landed on Finn, they widened in shock.

"Who... who are you?" Jinbei gasped, his voice barely above a whisper.

"Yo? Jinbei, it's you~" Finn smiled with a knowing grin.

"Who is this person, brother?" Marco asked, his brow furrowing in concern.

Someone nearby caught their breath and replied with awe, "He... he's Monkey D. Finn!"

"Monkey D. Finn?! The one who made waves at Cake Island and caused Charlotte Linlin's cravings?"

"So... he's Monkey D. Garp's grandson?"

Whitebeard's eyes twinkled with interest. "Gu la la la, Finn boy, I've heard of you! They say your swordsmanship bested Hawkeye. That really surprised me!"

Ace turned to Finn in confusion. "Is that... really you?"

Finn shrugged casually. "Ah, those are just small, unimportant things I did. Nothing worth mentioning."

At this, the Whitebeard Pirates' captains were outraged.

"Did he really just say that? How could anyone be so arrogant?"

"Hawkeye? That's just what the Marines say. Who knows if they're just hyping up some newcomer?"

"Yeah! This kid can't even be twenty years old. How could he have beaten Mihawk?"

One of the captains growled, "Father, let me test this kid's strength. We'll see what he's really made of!"

Finn, unfazed by the growing tension, ignored their outbursts.

He turned to Ace with a grin. "Come on, let's head back."

"Head back?" Ace looked confused. "Why would I go back with you? I want to be the Pirate King!"

Finn patted Ace's head lightly. "Pirate King? Luffy can be the Pirate King. You're coming back with me to see Grandpa."

Ace crossed his arms, still defiant. "Brother, you wanted to be the Marine King, and now you're telling me Luffy should be the Pirate King. What about me? What should I be?"

Finn raised an eyebrow and grinned mysteriously. "You? How about... the Soy Sauce King?"
