On the Sky Screen, due to the words Ace spoke before his death in the video, the Whitebeard Pirates members began comforting him.
However, simultaneously, many others used his statement to mock certain individuals.
[Golden Lion Shiki: Gehahahaha! It seems in Fire Fist Ace's heart, there truly was no place for a certain biological father. He didn't think of him at all before dying.]
[Captain Wang Zhi: Wuhahahaha! Talking about you, Roger! Any thoughts?]
[Pirate King Roger: I indeed failed in my duty as a father. I have nothing to say about that. But this time, I hope my former friends will do me a favor and help save my son.]
[Dark King Rayleigh: Since the Captain says so, these old bones of mine will have to make a move for you.]
[Major Mulligan: Don't worry, Captain. We're already on Shanks' ship.]
[Scopper Gaban: Haven't fought in a long time. Really something to look forward to.]
[Kaido: Urororororo! To think you old fossils actually set out! Thought you were just talking! But you, who have grown old—can you really rescue Fire Fist Ace safely? I have my doubts!]
[Red-Haired Shanks: What if you add me?]
[Kaido: Red Hair? But he's just your former captain. Are you really going to get involved in that great war for him? You know this will drag your crew members into danger.]
[Red-Haired Shanks: After all, it's the Captain's request. No matter what, I won't refuse. And I believe in my crew; they will support my decision.]
[Yasopp: No helping it! Didn't you say it's the Captain's request?]
[Ben Beckman: After all, we also won't refuse the Captain's request.]
[Lucky Roux: The Captain can be really willful sometimes. But what can we do? He's our Captain.]
Boin Archipelago
Usopp saw Yasopp's words on the Sky Screen and shouted in surprise,
"Dad?!"
His mentor, Heracles, heard him and asked, puzzled,
"What? Is your father up there?"
"Yeah," Usopp nodded. "He said he's also going to Marine Headquarters."
"Then... are you planning to head to Marine Headquarters now?" Heracles asked hesitantly.
Usopp shook his head. "
No, I don't plan to meet him now. For me, what's more important now is gaining greater strength. Only then can I help Luffy.
With my current abilities, even if I go to Marine Headquarters, I wouldn't be of much help. Might as well take this opportunity to train properly. I'll definitely surprise Luffy and the others then."
After saying this, without waiting for Heracles' further opinion, Usopp threw himself back into training.
Weatheria
Nami was once again stopped by the old men.
This time, before they could advise her, she stated she no longer wanted to escape.
The old men looked at each other, not understanding why Nami suddenly changed her mind, even suspecting she was just lying to deceive them.
But Nami didn't care what they thought; it was her genuine feeling.
After seeing Ace die taking that blow for Luffy, she understood that going to the battlefield now would achieve nothing.
Might as well learn about weather properly from these old men. Only then could she truly help Luffy.
Kuraigana Island, Ruins of the Kingdom of Shikkearu
Zoro angrily looked at Perona.
"Hey! Do you even know the way out? Why, after so many days, am I back here again?"
"Of course I know!" Perona puffed out her cheeks. "But with your current strength, you're no match for those baboons! You simply can't get out!"
"My captain is about to do something huge! I have to go help him!" Zoro retorted firmly.
"But I was there during your fights with those baboons too! You always drag me into it! Don't you feel sorry? For my own safety, I absolutely will not guide you again!"
"Then don't blame me for being impolite! I'm not some pervy kappa; I won't hold back against women!"
As he spoke, Zoro drew his sword.
"Hmph! Afraid of you?" Perona said, activating her Ghost-Ghost Fruit ability. The next second, a ghost passed directly through Zoro's body.
Zoro immediately knelt on the ground. "I'm sorry... I shouldn't have been born into this world..."
Momoiro Island (Okama Kingdom)
"Ahhh...! Stop chasing me! I really have to go help my captain!" Sanji was being chased by a group of okamas, shouting in agony.
"Candy Boy, don't run! Since you didn't defeat the acting kings as required, you must stay here!"
"That's why I'm saying! Your king knows my captain, Luffy! So why can't you let me leave?"
"Sorry, Candy Boy. The rules of the Kamabakka Queendom cannot be broken! Until you defeat us, you are absolutely not allowed to leave!"
South Bird Kingdom
After landing here, Chopper was first treated as a toy by large birds, then nearly eaten by people, experiencing numerous hardships.
Leaving here wasn't easy either, as frequent wars broke out between the humans and birds, leaving him no opportunity to escape.
During this time, he saved an injured fledgling and took care of it.
Later, with the help of this fledgling, he helped reconcile the humans and birds.
After that, he learned about Ace's capture from the newspaper and had asked the large birds to take him to find Luffy.
However, due to the appearance of the Sky Screen, he didn't depart immediately.
Now, after seeing the process of Ace's death on the Sky Screen, he made up his mind to study herbs and medicine properly here, so he could better help Luffy in the future.
Karakuri Island, Future Country Balgimoa
Franky was sent here by Kuma. This was the former residence of the Marine scientist Vegapunk.
Here, he began modifying his body using Vegapunk's technology.
After seeing the Sky Screen, he initially planned to find a way to help Luffy.
But after seeing Fire Fist Ace lose his life protecting Luffy, he knew that currently, he wouldn't be of much help to Luffy.
Moreover, with the Sky Screen's appearance, more people would go help rescue Ace.
Therefore, he decided to use this perfect opportunity to modify himself to become stronger, so he could protect his captain better in the future.
Lazy Island, Kingdom of Hunger
When Brook landed here, he was mistaken for a summoned Satan.
After learning about Luffy's situation from the Sky Screen, he released the Longarm Tribe bandits, only to be taken by them to Tequila Wolf on the island of swords.
For the time being, he found no way to escape.
Revolutionary Army Ship
Robin followed Sabo on the way to Marine Headquarters.
She looked ahead, thinking to herself:
Luffy, you saved me. This time, let me help you.
