Good work, redon! Here is my summary for Ace novel chapter 2 in ONE PIECE Magazine volume 2.
Deuce believes if someone wants to be a good captain he should be loved by many people. In this regard, Ace is a well-deserved captain.
He welcomes many crewmates who have no other place to go.
A beard guy tries to attack Ace. He shouts, "Ace! I love you!!". Actually he is a bounty hunter and loves Ace because his head would bring him much money. Deuce kicks him out.
Many bounty hunters rush into Spade Pirate ship. They asked for help that their ship was in trouble. They took advantage of Spade Pirates' kindness.
Ace sighs and attacks them via Fire Fist. "Those rascals don't know good manners…!!"
Ace can now control of Mera Mera ability although he was recently about to burn Deuce's coat accidentally .
Another enemy tries to make a sneak attack at Deuce, but the enemy dropped his sword due to the snipe shot by Miharl.
Miharl says, "Be careful, Deuce-san". He worked as a teacher and wants to help kids who can't have enough education. Ace took him out to sea and gives support.
Miharl says, "Rude guests should be educated.. I can't read books calmly with enemies on our ship".
He wears a silk hat and glasses. He is a strong fighter as opposed to his appearance.
Miharl doesn't like outdoor activities. Even when his crewmates go shopping, he is in the ship to read books. This is why his epithet is "Indoor".
Ace's crewmate named Skull praises a bounty hunter who has a pistol with skull decoration. Skull knows the structure of that pistol well and makes it jammed easily.
He takes it from the enemy and decides to display in his room. He has many skull-shaped accessories. Skull is a collector of pirates goods.
He considers himself as a pirates enthusiast, not pirate itself. He loves pirates so much that he went so far as to sneak into pirate ships many times.
He hides his own face by a skull mask. Most pirates thought Skull was no use, but Ace highly evaluates him since Skull has a lot of experience and knowledge about pirates.
He has been appreciating Ace for it.
Deuce, Miharl and Skull are the brain for Spade Pirates. Other crewmates are mostly combatants. They instantly defeat all bounty hunters.
Ace shouts, "Go away right away with your comrades who lost consciousness!!"
A lynx cat threatens them by hissing. He is called Kotatsu (TN: If you image-search on google with "kotatsu cat", you'll see the connection between kotatsu and cats.)
Ace saved him who got injured by poachers' trap. Kotatsu's personality had been coward since he was forced to work in a freak show, but after joining Spade Pirates,
he is getting courageous. His voice except hissing is cute. Kotatsu loves to be with Ace since it is warm around him who ate Mera Mera devil fruit.
All crewmates in Spade Pirates had no other place to go until they met Ace. According to Deuce, Ace judges people by their personality, not races or appearances.
Ace declares a party. He complains to Deuce that the number of bounty hunters who try to kill him is increasing.
Kotatsu notices many warships are approaching. Deuce plans to escape from the warships by leading them to rock reef areas.
A young female marine with a rapier suddenly appears on Spade Pirates ship.
"Your ship is great, isn't it? Sorry to disappoint you, but your journey ends here." There is a burn scar on the back of her hand.
She easily protects herself from the snipe shot from Miharl with her rapier. Deuce steps back and says, "She is a monster…"
Skull instantly notices that she is Isca "the nailing". Scull explains that the epithet is based on her fighting style to
make her opponents full of holes precisely by the rapier like nailing. Ace says, "That's scary" and steps forward. He isn't afraid of her at all despite his words.
Isca says in strong voice, "I'm Second Lieutenant Isca! You're under arrest!" Ace tells her that
he imagined she would be a middle-aged shipwright man with robust body judging from her epithet.
He shows a serious facial expression and makes a joke, "Your name sounds like a bird, don't you?" (TN: Isca means "red crossbill bird" in Japanese.)
Ace: "Can you slash me with such a weapon?" He turns his body into fire.
Isca: I'll make you full of holes if you want!
Ace is surprised at her sword speed. "Captain Ace! Let's support him, guys!" Many crewmates surround her, but they can't hurt her at all.
Isca: Don't move, Fire Fist! Stop futile resistance and surrender to me!
Ace: It means I'm allowed to make effective resistance, right?
Ace easily avoids her attacks. Suddenly, many warships surround Spade pirates ship. Actually Isca came alone to the ship to buy time for them.
Isca says to Ace, "You're done" and aims her rapier at him.
Screaming voices are heard from one of the warships. It means Deuce's plan succeeded. The warship is sinking.
Deuce says, "Honestly, I wish they had given up chasing us before this accident happens…"
Isca sheathes her rapier. Ace asks, "Are you gonna escape?" Isca replies, "Idiot! I'll just go to help my colleagues!"
She jumps into the sea without hesitation. After saving many marines, Isca is about to be drowned due to a big wave.
Ace stares at her for a while and throws a life preserver without saying any words.
Isca: Why do you save me!!
Ace replies bluntly, "Not sure."
Isca: Fire Fist! I'll catch you next time and make you regret that you saved my life!!
After a while, Ace says in a small voice, "She is a nice person..." Deuce complains that such a strong marine like Isca will chase them from now on.
Ace laughs, "But it'd be better than getting chased by those squalid beard guys, right?" Deuce agrees. Ace declares, "Now let's start our party again!"
Journey continues. Spade Pirates are right before New World now. They are getting bigger and consist of 20 crewmates and a lynx cat.
Not only Ace but also other crewmates have become famous among pirates. Ace defeated many famous pirates in a short period of time.
Ace is disappointed that they need to wait for at least 3 days until ship coating is finished, but he looks happy at the news that foods in Sabaody Archipelago are delicious.
Deuce writes down his impression of the fantastic Sabaody sights. His crewmates secretly read it and laughs at his poor writing skill.
Deuce jokingly makes up his mind that he will never mention their names in his adventure diary.
