Chapter Text
Itadori was tired. He was too tired. Even though he won the king of curse, he was tired. He wanted to finish.
"….Will they hate me?"
Not surprisingly, there was no answer from anyone. Itadori laughed bitterly.
"Don’t worry. I’ll follow you guys…Now."
With that, he grab a sharp pieces of brick, head it to his neck. He wasn’t afraid of dying. He knows that he would go hell. He was murderer. He was a monster. He couldn’t save anyone. He couldn’t make them have a rightful death. He knew he shouldn’t die now. They will be disappointed. He should keep Nanami’s word, Kugisaki’s word, Gojo’s word, Higuruma’s, Choso’s, and, and-
Just forget about it. Are you afraid? After you ruined all?
He thought to himself. Has he made excuses? The reason he has to live? If it was, he should have succeeded. Not failing pathetic like this. He thought he was pathetic.
"Why don’t you kill yourself? Die, just die already."
He whispered to himself. With that. He grab the piece, stab it right to his neck. He can finally breathe. He can finally smile. With that, his concious started to fade away. He hoped he can see them just for once.

It was a sunny day on New World. Everyone in the whitebeard rested peacefully. Until-
"Hey. Marco. What’s that?"
"Ace, what do you mea-"
-A man’s body fall from the sky.
"Wait, what’s that?!"
"It’s a human!!"
Before young man’s body hit the ground, Marco caught him, preventing from hit the ground.
"…Yoi. Who is him?”
"Marco, he looks young."
The sudden appearance of this unknown man was shocking enough to drag pirate’s attention.
"Who is him?"
"Maybe a spy from marine."
"But he looks young."
"His hair is unique."
"He-"
Izou shoot a gun through sky. With a one shot from gun. Everyone went silence.
"Silence. He is injured, can’t you see?"
With Izou’s word, Marco noticed a man’s neck covered with blood.
"He is…. We should move him to nurse, right Marco?"
With Ace’s last word, the man moved inside.
"We should visit father after he wakes up."
"We should. If he is a spy from marine…"
"You just said it a minute ago,"
"Then let’s…"
***
When Itadori wakes up, he imediately feel pain from his neck. He didn’t die-wait, he didn’t…?
"Why…why didn’t I…"
"Don’t move."
Itadori can feel a cold, metal thing-a gun is right next to his head.
"W-what?! Who are you?!"
"Izou. The commander of 16th Division of WhiteBread Pirates."
"W-wait..Pirates…? Am I kidnapped..?!?!?!"
"Hush."
With one swing, Itadori became silent. He looked neevous, thinking why he didn’t die.
"Um…Thanks for…cure me.."
"Anyway, name."
"…Yuuji. Itadori Yuuji."
"Wow. Are you from Wano Country?"
"…! Who are you?"
The black haired man looked confused as he begin to speak.
"Whoa, you don’t know me?! I’m Ace! 2nd Division commander of WhiteBeard Pirates!! Izou, he must don’t know about our father, isn’t he?"
Ace speak jokingly, only to face a slience between them.
"Wait, you don’t know?"
"….."
"Seriously? After living in New World?"
"…New world? What is it?"
That caught Izou’s attention. A man didn’t know what is New world, and their father. Is he even a marine? He thought to himself. Without hesitation, he drag a gun right next to Itadori’s head.
"Wait-"
"Tell me about you, what you know. Right now."
Itadori hesitates. They won’t believe him even if he tells the truth.
"…."
"Hey, speak."
With that, Ace’s finger turned into a fire, which can make Itadori shocked.
"What the…wait, you are sorecerer too?"
"Sorcerer? What is that thing? Who are you? Are you Marine?"
"What is that?! Anyway, will you bring me back to Japan?"
"Japan? What island is it?"
Izou’s face darken as he keep hearing Ace and Itadori talking. They couldn’t continue their talk. Their basic information kept misalign, as if they live in a whole different world…And that could make some conclusion to him.
"Follow me, Itadori Yuji."
"Wait, where-"
"To see our father."
"???"
Itadori’s face turned confused. Father? Is he a pirate too? Million questions swril in his head, but when he sees gun again, he decided to just obey. He doesn’t want a fight anymore. With Ace and Izou guided both side, Itadori slowly walk to face the person they called Father.

"Oww~ Look! They are running away! Didn’t they say they are ‘ruthless’ pirates?"
"You shouldn’t tease weak, I told you…"
"Ugh, can’t we just shut up and finish this?"
"I’ll vote for her."
"….Let’s just finish. Marine ship is waiting for us."
