Above the Pirate King

Chapter 971 Ace
Orange Cowboy Hat!
Freckles on face!
With a skull chain!

Topless!
There are tattoos on the back!
Wear big shorts!
Big leather boots under your feet!

It's not street. Uh, it's not Ace who is it?
Although Arthur didn't have much contact with Ace, but when he was with Luffy, he occasionally met him. In addition, he has watched anime, so he is still familiar with Ace!

But it is because of the familiarity that it is surprising!
How could Ace appear in Xihai?
According to the original plot, the current Ace should be chasing and killing Blackbeard on the Great Channel!
Thinking about it, Arthur still yelled at Ace below, saying, "Ace!"

Ok?
Hearing someone call his name, Ace subconsciously followed the voice and looked over, but after seeing Arthur's face on the second floor, he was a little confused——who is this person?
He felt that Arthur was somewhat familiar, but when he looked carefully, he couldn't say Arthur's name!
After thinking about it, Ace, who still couldn't recognize Arthur, smiled at Arthur, and after saying hello, he was about to leave!

"Ace, come up to have a meal together?" At this time, Arthur's voice came to Ace's ears in good time!

take me Out to eat?

Ace hesitated, some didn't know whether to go or not!

"Goo~"

But at this moment, the voice from his stomach made the decision for him!

"Okay!" Ace hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement.

Soon!

Ace came to the box on the second floor!

"Sit!" Arthur made a gesture of invitation, and then ordered the waiter waiting outside the box, "Bring another pair of bowls and chopsticks!"

"Yes!" The waiter respectfully agreed, then turned and left!
And after he turned and left, Ace suddenly asked a little embarrassedly, "Well... can I take the liberty to ask, who are you?"

"you forgot?"

Arthur looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "Then let me remind you, Luffy!"

Luffy?

After a flash of confusion flashed in Ace's eyes, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and realized it!
He thought who Arthur was!

"Are you that Luffy's uncle?" Ace asked with some uncertainty.

At the beginning, Arthur took Luffy to play with them, and he also met Arthur.

But that was ten years ago after all!

Ten years had made his memory a little fuzzy, so while he remembered who Arthur was, he couldn't determine Arthur's identity, so he asked this question!
"That's right!" Arthur said with a smile, just as the waiter brought in the bowls and chopsticks, so he greeted Ace and said, "Come on, eat something first, and talk while eating!"

"Okay!" After Ace nodded, he didn't refuse, picked up the chopsticks and ate!

Seeing this, Arthur picked up a piece of crispy meat with chopsticks, and while eating, he asked intentionally or unintentionally, "By the way, Ace, I heard from Luffy that you didn't go to sea? Why did you come to the West Sea?"

"Because of one person!" Ace directly stated the reason without hesitation, and said, "There is a guy who betrayed us Hai. Our forces have caused us great losses, so I am chasing him! "

Originally, he wanted to talk about the Pirates, but he thought that he didn't know what Arthur was doing, so he changed his mouth temporarily!
He was afraid that Arthur was the kind of force who had hatred against pirates, or looked down on pirates!
But the next moment, Arthur's words shocked him!
"Blackbeard Tiki?" Arthur asked nonchalantly while eating.

Ace's voice blurted out, shocked, "How do you know?"

"The Whitebeard Pirates are one of the strongest pirates in the world. My kingdom is also very concerned about the Whitebeard Pirates, so I know that Blackbeard Tiki is being chased by the Whitebeard Pirates recently. Kill me, I also know that you are the captain of the third team of the Whitebeard Pirates!" Arthur shrugged and said indifferently.

Because the undercover agent sent by Arthur became the captain of the second team, Ace became the captain of the third team after joining the Whitebeard Pirates, and the other captains also dropped one rank according to the original book!
That is, the original captain of the third team became the captain of the fourth team, and the captain of the fourth team became the captain of the fifth team!

"So it is!"

After subconsciously responding, Ace suddenly came to his senses, stared at Arthur with wide eyes in disbelief, and said, "Wait, your kingdom? Are you..."

Arthur didn't answer directly, but just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and nodded a little pretentiously.

"This... this is incredible!" Ace said incoherently, but couldn't help but recall the first time he met Arthur.

At that time, when Arthur brought Luffy to meet him, although he looked handsome, there was nothing surprising about it, but what he never expected was that meeting Arthur again gave him such a big surprise !
"No wonder! When I saw the news about Xihai, your photos, and your name, I felt a little familiar for no reason. It turned out to be you!" Ace couldn't help but sigh.

Arthur shrugged nonchalantly, stretched out his chopsticks again to pick up the fat cow with chopsticks, scalded it, dipped it in some dipping sauce and ate it, then asked casually, "Why did Blackbeard Tiki come to the West Sea?"

Instead of surprising Ace, what Arthur is most concerned about now is why Tiki the Blackbeard is here!

You must know that according to the original plot, Tiqi should be on the great channel now, planning Ace, planning Qibukai, and planning the top war!

"I don't know that either!" Ace frowned, speaking truthfully,
"Do you need my help?" Arthur asked with a raised brow.

He didn't mean to help, but he wanted to see what the hell Blackbeard Titch was going to do, and he didn't play the cards according to the original routine!

"Don't bother!" Ace's eyes flashed with excitement, but then he shook his head and refused!
His character is to pay attention to etiquette, and he doesn't like to trouble others. In addition, he knows that Titch is an unscrupulous person. If Arthur's people help, many people may die by then.

So, he refused!

Well, the last thing he wants is for innocent people to die because of him!

"In that case, I won't send anyone to help. I'll just ask the person who happened to see Blackbeard to report, and I'll tell you when the time comes. You go find him!" Arthur said after thinking for a while.

"Alright!" Ace nodded after hesitating for a moment.

Although he didn't want Arthur to send someone to help him, for fear of hurting innocent people, if someone who happened to see Tiki told him Tiki's location, then he would not refuse!
"Okay, let's eat first! It's estimated that Tiki's affairs will not be fixed for a while, so let's eat something first! This spicy chrysanthemum hot pot is a must-eat restaurant in our kingdom, come and eat more!" See Ai Ace agreed, and Arthur began to warmly greet Ace to eat.

"Later, let Devin find someone to find out where Tiki is, and then send two people to look after it, so as not to hurt ordinary people in the kingdom!" Arthur ate with Ace, On the one hand, I thought secretly.
