One Piece: I'm Destined to Be the Son-in-Law King!-Chapter 147: Ace, I’ve Got You in My Sights!
Chapter 147 - Ace, I've Got You in My Sights!
Winter Bear Island.
The weapon factory was filled with thick, choking smoke.
"Iron Boy is down! Pirates beat him!"
"This is our chance! Time for a revolution!"
"Let's go! Take out those guards!"
"Follow Captain Cabreu!"
After hearing that Scotch, the tough guy in charge of the island, had lost to pirates, the workers, who had been secretly planning this for a long time, saw their opportunity. Led by Captain Cabreu, they started a revolt.
News of this quickly reached Onigashima, Kaido's island.
"A rebellion! It's happening on Winter Bear Island!"
"Someone, tell the important guys!"
"Can't do it! The Flying Six are all gone with Lord Kaido on a trip!"
When people are treated badly, they fight back.
For the Beast Pirates, rebellions on their islands were nothing new.
Usually, the warden would crush the revolt. But in the wild and unpredictable New World, things didn't always go as planned.
When the warden lost, they would send in the Flying Six. If even they couldn't handle it, then the All-Stars would step in.
But this time, the top dogs had all left with Kaido and wouldn't be back for a while. Only some of the regular officers, the Headliners, were left on the island.
"Calm down! It's just a small rebellion!"
"This is our moment to shine!"
"Get ready to leave, now!"
Several Headliners shouted orders at their men, eager to prove their worth. They didn't get many chances like this.
----
Several hours later, on the western shore of Winter Bear Island.
A warship was hiding near the coast.
"Things are pretty crazy!"
Roya looked through his telescope, watching the smoke and gunfire on the island. A small smile appeared on his face.
He turned to his men.
"Barto, you know what to do, right?"
"Leave it to me, Boss!"
Bartolomeo grinned, wearing his bright green coat. The pirates behind him were back in their usual, flashy outfits.
They looked every bit as nasty and villainous as pirates should.
"Go!"
Roya waved his hand.
Bartolomeo gathered his crew and charged toward the weapon factory.
"Minions, let's go!"
"Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!"
They had two jobs: first, to help the rebels beat the warden; and second, to grab all the weapons they could find in the factory.
The weapons made by the Beast Pirates were top-notch, including Gatling Guns and other powerful gear. Even the World Government would secretly buy weapons from Kaido.
It was all about the money!
Steal as much as possible!
G-5 Branch was poor, and they didn't have many weapons or bullets. This meant the 11th Division was also short on supplies. They couldn't even afford to use cannons when chasing pirates.
This was a golden opportunity to get rich!
As for the rebels on the island, Roya couldn't really do much for them. This island belonged to the Beasts, and it wouldn't be long before they came to crush the rebellion.
This small moment of victory was all Roya could give them.
Watching Barto and his crew rush onto the island like hungry wolves, Hina frowned.
"Rear Admiral Roya, we're not allowed to fight the Four Emperors without permission from Headquarters. I'm worried we'll start a war."
"What are you talking about, Hina?"
Roya looked at the worried Hina and said seriously, "It was the Spade Pirates who attacked this island and stole the weapons. What does that have to do with us Marines?"
"Huh?"
Hina was shocked, and her cigarette fell from her mouth.
Roya caught the falling cigarette, put it back in Hina's mouth, and patted her shoulder, feeling quite pleased.
He was taking the leftovers and blaming it on Ace.
Perfect!
"Let's go, we're going to find Fire Fist!"
Roya jumped off the ship and headed toward the island. Ace and his crew were rookies and didn't have a Log Pose, so they wouldn't be leaving anytime soon.
----
Deep inside the island, in a hidden cave.
The Spade Pirates were resting.
Scotch's men were tough, and many of the Spade Pirates had been hurt in the fight.
Fighting wasn't just the Captain's job. If they had to rely on Ace for everything, what was the point of them being there?
"Hiss--"
Deuce bit down on his clothes, using a dagger to dig into the wound on his shoulder. The pain made him twitch.
"Clang!"
The bullet fell to the ground.
The crew gathered around, worried about their Vice Captain.
"Are you okay, Deuce?"
"I'm fine."
Deuce was covered in sweat as he cleaned the wound with liquor.
"Ugh!"
He groaned softly.
After gritting his teeth, Deuce turned pale and sighed in relief. The gunshot wound on his shoulder was now bandaged.
As a doctor, he knew what to do.

"Those guards have some powerful guns!"
"They're scary, that's for sure."
The crew members were still shaken.
Outside, a brand-new rifle would be a good weapon, but the guards on this island had powerful, rapid-fire guns.
The fight had been in the snow, with nowhere to hide.
Skull, who was in charge of getting information, looked gloomy. "The Beasts Pirates are the biggest weapon makers in the Underworld. Of course their men have advanced weapons!"
Each of the Four Emperors had their own thing.
"When we came, didn't we see a lot of chimneys blowing out black smoke? That must be the weapon factory!"
"Probably."
Everyone felt worried.
They didn't have Ace's incredible power, and they worried they would hold him back. The journey ahead would only get harder.
Ace smiled brightly. "Don't worry! With me here, I'll protect you from anything!"
"Captain Ace."
The crew was touched, but they wanted to protect Ace too.
Ace clapped his hands. "Right, the Log Pose should be almost ready, right? Where are we going next?"
"Wano Country!"
Skull took a deep breath. "That's the Beasts Pirates' main base, which means Kaido of the Four Emperors is there!"
"Four Emperors!"
Ace's eyes lit up.
He might finally meet a Four Emperor.
He had wanted to fight one for a long time!
"Captain Ace, something's wrong!"
Suddenly, the lookout ran in, looking worried. "That Black Hair Rear Admiral is chasing us!"
"Huh?"
Ace stood up quickly.
He had run to such a hidden place, and he still chased after them.
That damned Roya, did he really think he could push me around so easily? If he went all out, he wouldn't lose to that guy!
"You guys wait here, I'll go chase that bastard away!"
Ignoring his crew's protests, Ace ran out of the cave alone and soon saw Roya and his group in the snow.
"Yo, Ace."
Roya smiled at him. "It took a lot of work to find you. How about it? Have you thought about becoming a Seven Warlords of the Sea?"
"I don't want to!"
Ace refused angrily.
"That's too bad."
Roya shook his head sadly, took off his coat, and handed it to his assistant. He raised his fist and cracked his knuckles.
"Too bad, you don't get to choose."
"Ace, listen up! You will take the position of Seven Warlords of the Sea, whether you like it or not!"
"I said it!"
