EIGHT DAYS HAVE PASSED. ever since the straw hats were reported missing by the navy. and you haven't had a good sleep throughout those days. ace's execution date is getting closer by the minute.
you have tried pleading with garp to ask sengoku to let you visit ace, even if only for an hour or two, of course not being a warlord or anything that has a close connection with the navy. your request was impossible, sengoku denied it.
you could feel your blood turn cold every time you read his name in the newspapers, every time his vivre card burned bit by bit.
after the commotion eight days ago, the marines quickly left the scene. deciding to stay at sabaody for a little longer, you waited for anyone to call you. whitebeared hasn't contacted you since. fortunately, marco has been secretly calling you from time to time. you did use a white den den mushi, so the navy will not be able to wiretap your conversation (thank dragon for giving you one as it is a very rare breed of den den mushi). the fleet is slowly forming.
you were at the edge as days go bye, tomorrow will be ace's execution. marco did tell you that oyaji does not want any of your help, quote by quote, at that for which you screamed at him, he defended himself, saying that was what whitebeard wanted to say to you.
all reports have been coming to you at an overwhelming rate, you wouldn't expect that the world's known pirate at a rank just below the emperors has all the connections in the world. straight from impel down, it was stated that garp visited ace two days ago.
"i took the name portgas from my mother, whom i owe great debt... i don't care one jot for that half of my blood that came from my useless father," ace chuckled to himself,
...
my family, my brothers, the whitebeard pirates. jozu, vista haruta, izou, duece, everyone.. oyaji... marco... [name]-san
"ace? oh no! he fainted again! marco! help!"
"ace, have you eaten yet? what do you want?"
"another rip on your hat? ace, you might have to pay me for my service next time."
"ace, look what thatch and i bought!"
"hibiscus flowers suit you, did you know that, ace?"
"you look pretty ace..." like your mother... father..
...
"i don't have any memories or any debt to him whatsoever, so that's why i only have one father, and that father is whitebeard."
