10 Ch 10 : Dish Washer Ace

" Damn.. why would I even do this…"

" You there! Don't stop moving, or else you will not get dinner tonight!"

" Yes sir!!!"

Inside one of the restaurants in the Sullivan Kingdom, Fire Fist Ace was currently doing chores.

There was a seastone cuff in his hand that made him weak, and because of this, he also lost his only chance to run away.

But of course, if the King of Pirates, Gol D. Roger was to see this, he would obviously shake his head and say with a frown:

Roger: "Son, this is why I didn't eat the Devil Fruit…"

Back to Ace, it has been two days since he started doing chores for Cade restaurant. And slowly but surely, he began to adapt to it.

Even if he kept grumbling, his hand kept moving as if he didn't want to miss dinner.

And as how Cade's restaurant was actually the one where Ace did his dine and dash, it was far from a coincidence.

Actually, Cade didn't even have the restaurant or witness Ace dine and dash.

It was just a random guess, and when the random guess hit the mark, he told Ace to lead him to the restaurant before purchasing it at two times the market price.

After all, he was now a rich tycoon who wouldn't need to be afraid of spending money.

At this time, the gate of the kitchen was slowly pushed open.

Ace raised his head slightly and looked into the distance. He saw a handsome-looking man with a heavy cloak, his hair was not combed, but it was just giving him more charm. Following him from behind was a guy with the royal guard uniform and sword sheathed on his waist.

This person, Ace, is very familiar. After all it was Cade, the person who put him in his current situation.

Ace's mood turned sour as he glared at the man. For some reason, his mood told him that this guy must be up to no good.

But what surprised him was that when he took a closer look, following behind Cade was not only Lake but also his crewmates.

And they followed Cade patiently. This for some reason, made Ace feel something wrong as he immediately rushed toward Cade.

" You!!!!"

BAMM!!!!

But obviously, Ace, who was chained with the sea stones hand cuffs, was weakened a lot and was no match for Lake.

With just one move, he was easily taken down and was pressed on his back with his face could only look at Cade from below.

" *Sigh* Why are you all so hardheaded…" Cade shook his head.

And though Ace was far from letting his guard down, the moment he heard the word "them", he tilted his head a bit, full of confusion.

" Not only you, but Luffy and Sabo too.. no wonder Dadan-san had a lot of headaches."

" What are you!!??"

This time, Ace's face was full of disbelief. Even his crewmates didn't know about that name, so how could Cade…

Ace's mind began to spin. And this time, Cade didn't miss his chance to give "explanation".

" Hmm? So Dadan hadn't told you about me, huh? Well, I am Dadan's old friend."

"....."

Ace's eyes were a bit lost. He didn't know what to trust or not anymore. After all, there should be a slim chance that the man in front of him was related to Dadan. But if he didn't know Dadan, then how could he know the name of Ace, Luffy, Sabo… This guy shouldn't come from another world, right?

In the end, Ace shook all that thought and could only believe that this guy really knew Dadan. After all, his prior guess was too outrageous.

Unknown to Ace, his actual guess did really hit the mark.

Cade was dar enough to put Dadan's name because he knew there was no way for Ace to crosscheck, and a wide smile emerged on his mind.

' As one said, information is the biggest weapon of humanity.'

To be honest, Cade's original plan was to let Ace stay in this place for some more time and use him as a Mental Power farm.

Still, after a few days of pondering, he knew it wasn't feasible.

Let's not say what the Marine would think about his relationship with Ace when they knew Ace was Roger's son. Maybe, they would also put Cade's name in the bounty as Ace's boss.

Cade's idea was to let Ace go and meet Whitebeard and let Ace be his illusion brothel Ambassador for Whitebeard's pirates.

Compared to one Ace, the whole Whitebeard Pirate would definitely give much more Mental power to Cade.

Thinking about this, a weird smile subtly escaped from Cade's face, which made Ace felt a shudder.

Nonetheless, as Ace began to feel the other party was not hostile, he slowly dropped his resistance and listened to what Cade would say. But who would believe it? Cade's next words had almost made him vomit blood.

" But if I sent a letter back to the guys in the Foosha village.. I don't know how Makino would feel if she knew you still dine and dash until today."

*Poof*

Ace almost vomits blood. He felt really ashamed that he had used Makino's image in the illusion brothel, and now he heard Cade saying Makino would be disappointed, he didn't know why but he felt a bit of loss in his heart.
