This pirate is not too cold

Chapter 373 ACE
East China Sea, Kingdom of Goa, Mount Korpo, East Coast.

A teenager wearing a beige shirt on the upper body and black cropped pants on the lower body is looking at the sea with waves in the distance.

He has short flowing black hair and a few freckles on his cheeks. He should have been a sunny teenager in his teens, but at this time his dignified face has a calmness that does not belong to this age.

A news bird flew in the sky above the boy's head. The boy greeted the news bird and sent a newspaper. He dispensed a coin. Before he had time to read the information on the newspaper, he heard someone calling his name loudly.

"A---"

"Luffy!"

Ace turned his head and saw a boy in a dark blue T-shirt and light blue cropped shorts running towards him.

The boy is also wearing a straw hat with a red ribbon around it. It is Ace's sworn brother, Monkey D. Luffy.

"Ace, what are you looking at?"

Luffy ran to Ace's side, showing a sunny smile.

As long as he sees Ace, Luffy's mood will become better.

"I haven't watched it yet!"

Ace flicked Luffy's forehead, and read the newspaper he just bought amidst Luffy's protests.

"Unrivaled: The Four Emperors "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate defeated the Four Emperors "Ghost" Carl, continuing the legend of "the strongest man in the world"!"

"It's a glorious defeat: Pirate supernova Four Kings "Ghost" Carl hits Four Kings "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate, shocking the whole world and shaking the world!"

"Shock, shock, and shock again! These reporters know about shock, shock, shock, and horror every day. Is there anything new?"

Although he was complaining about the journalists of the newspaper, Ace still read the contents of the newspaper carefully from beginning to end.

"Ace, what does it say?" The 13-year-old Luffy squeezed his head to Ace's side, and kept looking at the news in the newspaper, making an effort.

Compared with those annoying words, Luffy's eyes were quickly attracted by an illustration in the newspaper.

Luffy burst into laughter: "Look, Ace, that big man's beard is so funny, it's the same as Crescent Moon!"

"His name is 'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate, known as 'the strongest man in the world' and 'the man closest to One Piece'."

Ace patiently explained something to Luffy.

He knew very well that this pirate known as "Whitebeard" was a pirate of the same era as his father, "One Piece" Gol D. Roger.

Although Ace has never been willing to admit that he is Roger's son, he even followed his mother's surname, Portgas D. Loujiu, and his full name is Portgas D. Ace.

But he also understands that the blood of that bastard man flows in his body. This is an unchangeable fact, and there is no way to get rid of it forever.

That's why Ace is determined to surpass that man named Roger. Only when he reaches a peak farther than Roger can he find his true freedom.

Lu Fei's words were not surprising: "What? You said that the man with the white beard is the closest to me?"

Ace looked at Luffy coldly and didn't react for a while.

What was waiting for him was Lu Fei's sunny and confident smile: "Because I am the man who is going to be the One Piece!"

"Nonsense, the man who will become the One Piece must be me!"

After Sabo's accidental death, Ace, who was originally impulsive and irritable, and also liked to bully Luffy, inherited Sabo's "Mr. A good brother who is calm and sensible.

But only in the matter of "One Piece", Ace will not give in to Luffy.

But he never thought that there was no title of "One Piece" before his father, Gol D. Roger.

The goal he tried so hard to pursue was the father he hated the most.

After a brief quarrel, the two teenagers lay head to head on the soft grass.

"Hey, Ace, who's that guy shaking Whitebeard's hand?"

"His name is Carl, and he is a very powerful pirate. He is only 25 years old this year, and he has already been able to push Whitebeard to this point. If it takes a few more years, Whitebeard may have to give up the 'World's Strongest' The man' this title has.

But a few years later, I have already gone to sea, and by then, the 'world's strongest man' must be me! "

"I don't care about 'the strongest man in the world', I just need to be the One Piece!"

"fool!"

Ace was amused by Lu Fei's words. He lay on the grass, looked at the white clouds in the sky, and said with a smile: "If you don't become the strongest man in the world, how can you become the Pirate King? ?”

"Oh, then I want to be the strongest man in the world!"

After a statement, Luffy picked up the newspaper that was thrown aside by the two. He wanted to remember the two men he was determined to surpass in the future.

In the picture, Carl is standing with Whitebeard shaking hands. Although Carl is five meters shorter than Whitebeard, he needs to raise his arms above his head even to shake hands.

But just a picture, others seem to have felt the unruly temperament of Carl, even if he is facing the "world's strongest man" white beard, Carl is small, but not at all humble feeling.

Carl and Whitebeard are both the Pirate Emperors of the New World. Even the "World Economic News Agency" has no guts to offend these two people, so the photos have naturally been professionally processed and taken just right. All the heroic qualities were displayed.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

"Luffy, stop making trouble, what are you screaming about?"

My stupid younger brother always likes to do some weird things, and Ace has long been used to it.

But as long as Luffy is not in danger, generally speaking, he doesn't even bother to look at it.

"Hissssssssssssah Sabo!"

Hearing Luffy call out the familiar name, Ace sat up suddenly.

His eyes were wide open and he looked very frightening.

"Luffy, what are you talking about?"

As the sworn brother of Luffy and Ace, Sabo has an extremely important weight in the hearts of the two.

It's a pity that Sabo was shot by his pirate ship when the Tianlong people visited the Kingdom of Goa many years ago, and was buried in the sea.

For this reason, Ace and Luffy suffered for a long time.

Even though Ace has determined to be a gentle and good brother, he absolutely can't stand Luffy making fun of himself with the dead Sabo.

Ace lifted Luffy up and yelled viciously: "Luffy, if you dare to mention Sabo's name casually again, believe it or not, I'll beat you!"

"It's not... Ace, look..."

At this time, Luffy had already burst into tears and couldn't even speak clearly.

Seeing Luffy's pitiful appearance, Ace's anger was reduced a lot.

He looked in the direction of Luffy's finger, and found that in a very small corner behind Carl, there were a few passers-by who were basically unnoticed.

And one of them was actually wearing the same style of clothes and hat as Sabo, and most importantly, that person was holding a piece of water pipe in his hand!
Although Ace couldn't see the specific appearance of the person because of the angle and the size of the picture, but who else has these characteristics besides their brother Sabo?
"Ace, did you see it? Sabo is still alive, he is not dead!"

At this time, Luffy had burst into laughter, and the tears mixed with snot hung on Luffy's little face, making him look very funny.

But Ace couldn't laugh at all.

If Sabo wasn't dead, why didn't he come back to find himself and Luffy?
How did he get to the most dangerous sea area, the "New World" in the second half of the great voyage?
Soon, Ace made a decision: "Luffy, I'm going to sea to find Sabo!"

"I also need to go!"

"No, you are only 13 years old now, and you are just a kid. You are too young to go to sea!"

"Aren't you only 16 years old, are you still not an adult? Why can't I go to sea if you can go to sea?"

"Damn it..."

Sabo was speechless by the stubborn Luffy, and was very anxious.

There are still more than three months and I will be 17 years old, just wait a little longer, and I can go to sea after a while!
After gritted his teeth and made up his mind, Ace said to Luffy: "Okay, then we will continue to abide by the agreement we made at the beginning. We must not go to sea until the day we reach adulthood! No one is allowed to violate this rule, otherwise I will not Recognize him as a brother!"

"it is good!"

The two brothers swear by high-fiving, as if they have found a goal in life that is more important than becoming the One Piece.

……

New World, "All Nations" Totland.

"ACE!"

"Fujitora" smiled and pulled out a card from a pile of cards, and Karl, who was lying on the hospital bed, read the result on the card.

Fujitora laughed and said: "The old man's luck is not bad today. No, we should say that Carter's luck is very good. It seems that the plan should have been successfully implemented."

"You really have to believe in divination?"

Karl said to Fujitora while using the breathing technique in "Return of Life" to adjust the breath in his body.

There are many skills for returning life, the highest state is the control of internal organs and flesh and blood, breathing is only the basic skill in returning life, but it is very beneficial to restore one's physical strength.

Playing with poker that he could only play a "gamble on size", Fujitora replied: "Good luck, safety first."

As early as the few days when the news of the duel between Carl and Whitebeard spread across the world, Robin had already investigated that the "Beasts" pirate group was a little ready to move.

"Beasts" Kaido, a lunatic, seems to be foolishly making troubles everywhere, and often puts himself in it, but in fact he is the best example of "pretending to be a big success" in the pirate world.

Beast Kaido will only challenge those enemies who have no way to kill him. He has never dared to cast his falling blow on the "Holy Land" Marie Gioia.

Because then he might really die.

Seemingly ignorant, but when Whitebeard and Karl are about to duel, the "Beasts" pirates are preparing to attack the hometown of Whitebeard Pirates.

Maybe in the "Hundred Beasts" pirate group there is a military advisor who can convince even Kaido, maybe "Hundred Beasts" Kaido is actually very wise and stupid.

But anyway, this guy is actually very smart.

And through Tezolo's information, Karl has learned that the Navy headquarters has sent two "heavyweight" lieutenant generals, "Tea Pork" Shi Jiaji, "Peach Rabbit" Gion and several elite lieutenant generals to the new headquarters. world.

The side that loses in the duel will most likely be invited by the navy to drink tea at Marlinford.

But although Karl was defeated this time, not only did his reputation not be ruined because of his defeat to Whitebeard, but his reputation grew even higher.

After all, being young is Karl's greatest asset.

What the outside world doesn't know is that Karl still has pure gold in his hand.

Carl is now 25 years old, and he can wear pure gold for a long time except when he is injured and needs to recover.

Although Crane and Garp saw it when they broke into the belly of the giant lanternfish, the navy was only skeptical about it, and they were unwilling to rashly start a war with a big pirate without knowing whether Karl had pure gold. Not to mention that Karl is now the Four Emperors.

"ACE!"

Toki Kake snapped his fingers and jumped back from a pirate ship to the warship.

They encountered a large group of pirates just now, but no one from the other navy took action, and all the pirates were wiped out by the group of tea dolphins alone.

Wearing a khaki long coat and trousers, sleeves rolled up, a brown top hat on his head, clogs on his feet, a toothpick in his mouth, eyes always narrowed into a slit, dressed like a detective Dolphin walked to the side of a beautiful navy.

With a warm smile on his face, the tea dolphin was courting his goddess like an old-diao-si: "Gion, do you think I did a good job?"

The beautiful navy named "Gion" has black hair and a beauty mole under the corner of her right lip. He is wearing a tight pink vest and black shorts that barely cover the bottom of her thighs, revealing her white and long legs. Legs, under the feet are a pair of black high heels.

Gion is the "monster-level" lieutenant general "Momotu" of the Navy Headquarters, but for some reason, there is a scary black spider tattooed on her left thigh and buttocks.

"not bad."

Momotu replied to Chafu with a smile.

The tea dolphin chuckled: "Gion...then you marry me!"

"Never!"

Tao Tutu rejected Cha Dolphin's marriage proposal without any hesitation, without blushing or heartbeat, not even a trace of surprise.

Because since the acquaintance, the tea dolphin has proposed to Gion dozens of times. Although the tea dolphin has an optimistic and open-minded personality, and always looks happy and carefree, this obviously cannot attract Taotu to tea. dolphin's favor.
