Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 530 The Start Over

In Ace's room, he was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, silently looking at his young self in the mirror.According to Anke and the others, the current self is only 17 years old, 3 years younger than the self who was more than three weeks old.Although his physique was not as strong as before, it didn't make him feel a little uncoordinated.Maybe it was because of the blood-red demon sword in his body, now he can even feel the burning sensation of the flame in his body.

·
There is no trace of the horrible hole pierced by Akainu's punch in front of him, but the feeling of dying is still very clear in the memory, and the scorching feeling of the internal organs being completely burned seems to still remain in the body.The sense of powerlessness that was completely suppressed can still be experienced now...

·
He raised his right hand to look at the flame pattern that was still dazzling in the dark, and then looked at himself in the mirror.After standing quietly like this for a while, he stretched out his hand and pulled the collar, and the red and black mark under the collarbone on the left surfaced quietly there.

·
"In the same place, the encore seems to have the same mark, is it because of this that I can save myself..." I suddenly remembered the appearance of that little child who suddenly confronted me when I was in prison, He also understood the whole reason for it.

·
At the very beginning, Encore had already prepared for the worst, as well as the subsequent coping strategies.

·
"From now on, you must treat your own life well. After all, I don't know how many people have paid an unimaginable price for this..." Suddenly thinking of the person he respected, Ace closed his eyes sadly, and opened them Full of firmness.He is the son of the great great pirate Whitebeard, so he must be worthy of this title.

·
Looking at his 17-year-old self in the mirror, Ace clearly understands why Encore made himself what he is now. 17 years old is the age when they agreed to go to sea.And now Encore allows him to return to the age of 17, and the reason is easy to understand.

·
At the age of 17, it is for him to choose his future life again. Maybe his mentality has changed and he no longer has the original ambition, but in this world without the Whitebeard Pirates, Encore still hopes that he will continue to move forward.

·
The future road will not know where to start for a while, and there are too many choices for a new life.However, the only thing he knows is that he is the captain of the second team under Whitebeard, and he does not want to discard this identity, even though the world now has no Whitebeard Pirates that he is proud of.

·
Ace turned around slowly and looked in the mirror. The mark of the Whitebeard Pirates behind him had disappeared with time, and the tattoo on his arm had disappeared.However, even though the mark on the back is gone, he still will not discard his identity.Even though, too many people hope that his new life will have a new start...

·
After taking a deep breath, he decided to follow Encore's idea and wait on this island for a while before going out to the outside world.Although he looks much younger now, if he is easily recognized by others, Enke's painstaking efforts will be in vain.

·
Although now he is very worried about his younger brother and friends, and wants to visit his father, but the situation in the world has no way for him to realize this little wish. He can only wait until the turmoil subsides a little bit. Make plans later.Moreover, no matter how I feel, my current body is much weaker than before, and I have to practice for a period of time to surpass my previous self.

·
'Luffy and Encore will meet up in two years, so I will leave here in two years.You have to become stronger than before...', after quietly looking at the hands spread out in front of his eyes for a while, he turned his head to look at the gradually brightening sky outside:

·
I'm sorry, daddy...my son will visit you in two years...

Before dawn, Encore was going to go out to practice with Gloria, while Ace was in a forced sleep...

·
"Lord Gloria, Miss Anke, good morning." Lu Luo, who suddenly appeared, bowed to greet her, and then respectfully handed over the newspaper in her hand, "This is the latest news, it's about Mr. Luffy."

·
"Luffy?", upon hearing his captain's name, Anke stopped to take the newspaper, and couldn't help being stunned when he saw the photo of Luffy mourning in silence.

·
Gloria, who has no interest in such things, shrugged, and then floated towards the door, "Miss Ben is going out first, hurry up."

·
"Anyway, I'll be the fastest to arrive~", Anke didn't think that Gloria's super road-crazy character could go directly to the practice site, and continued to watch the report seriously.Immediately, she seemed to see something, smiled and handed the newspaper to Lu Luo who was waiting at the side.

·
Friends will definitely know it if they just look at it.However, fortunately, Sauron went to the battlefield with them, otherwise, with that green algae's dull appearance, I don't know how long it would take to guess...

In the morning, when Ace, who hadn't slept since waking up, opened the door, he saw only a simple and empty living room, and he couldn't even feel the breath of a person around him.

·
Immediately, he was attracted by a large stack of newspapers on the coffee table in the living room.When he walked over suspiciously, he realized that they were all reports about the Battle of the Top. After all, this was to let himself, who had been in a coma for more than three weeks, know the direction of the world after the Battle of the Top.

·
When he opened the top newspaper, he saw that it was a report about the time of war.He pursed his lips and looked down one by one, finally stopping at one of the reports.Staring closely at the photo above, Ace's eyes became deeper and full of murderous intent, and he squeezed out three words from his clenched teeth, "Black! Beard! Son!!!"

·
The hands holding the newspaper tightly were trembling slightly, and the photo on the crumpled newspaper was still very conspicuous.After staring coldly at the photos in the newspaper for a while, Ace pursed his lips in silence and almost exhausted all his strength before opening the newspaper to the next side. He looked at the following report with a blank expression:

·
Whitebeard died in battle; Blackbeard snatched Whitebeard's ability to shake the fruit; Straw hat boy Luffy and his partners are unknown; one of the four emperors' red hair appeared, and the war ended...

·
The following reports are some analysis of the war, as well as reports on some of the more active figures, and some are about the current direction of the world government and naval headquarters, and the islands protected by Whitebeard have been attacked by different pirates. s attack.

·
After reading all the newspapers about the battle on the top with a solemn face, Ace still sat there staring at one of the photos.Even in the gray newspaper, the white beard standing upright still does not lose a bit of domineering, even though the headline above says that he has died in battle.

·
"Daddy...", Ace closed his eyes in pain, but the tears streaming down from the corners of his eyes were full of grief.

·
It took a long time before he put down the newspaper and picked up the newest one, the photo of Luffy was clearly visible on the headline.

·
"Sure enough, you are an idiot..." Looking at the energetic person in the photo, Ace couldn't help laughing, "This will make the pirates follow you, but this is you... ..."

·
After looking at the newspaper carefully, he suddenly noticed the mark on Luffy's right arm. After a moment of stupefaction, he began to study seriously, "'3D(X)2Y'?? What does this mean? ?”

·
After researching nothing, Ace suddenly remembered what Encore said last night, "Our Straw Hat Pirates will reunite in two years and move forward again." '.After a flash of inspiration, he also guessed the meaning of this mark, "2Y, two years. The simple and clear meaning, Luffy's partners will definitely know it."

After I don't know how long it took, Ace regained his composure. After carefully putting away the newspapers, he planned to go out and have a look. After all, there was no one in the house now.

·
"Where did Encore go..." Ace walked out the door in doubt, but at this moment he felt the slight vibration of the ground and the faint and violent explosion.

·
The morning air is crisp, and the dewy lawn glistens in the hazy sunlight.Several white lions lying on the grass moved their ears, opened their eyelids to look at him, and then continued to doze off.

·
After looking at the dense forest around him, Ace raised his legs and walked towards the direction of the vibration, but the further he walked, he felt that the vibration was getting closer and closer to him, and he could even see the trees being lifted up continuously.

·
In the next second, a huge white bear-like creature appeared in front of his eyes. The reason why he could see the bear in the dense forest was that it was dozens of times bigger than normal bears.

·
"What's going on??" Ace looked at the white bear who seemed to be fighting with something in amazement, and before he recovered, he saw a broken tree flying towards him at high speed.After gritting his teeth and dodging quickly, it was densely packed with broken tree branches and shattered light-colored crystals that fell like a storm.

·
Even though Ace was already leaving there quickly, he was still affected, so he could only tense up and stay out of the attack range of the white bear.

·
Trying his best to hide his breath behind a big tree, Ace carefully observed the fierce fighting outside, and was stunned when he saw the petite figure flashing past under the attack of the white bear, "Encore?"

·
"Damn it!!" Although he felt the attack from the white bear, but his body couldn't dodge it flexibly, An Ke couldn't help but cursed in a low voice.Switching to the fourth eye ability has increased her physical ability by more than half, but the current body still has no way to keep up with the operation of thinking.

·
After narrowly dodging the bear claws of the white bear, Enke pressed one hand on the ground, and the spreading crystal instantly sealed the white bear, and at the same time, the crystal thorns protruding from her footsteps went straight towards its vitals stab it.

·
However, Ice Bear just smashed all the crystals easily, and his flexibility and attack power did not match his huge body at all.After glancing at the embarrassed girl below, the white bear roared and swung its paws towards her again.

·
Although countless crystals had been summoned in time to defend, Anke was still sent flying and slammed into a giant tree in the distance.After sliding down from the tree trunk, she didn't have time to wipe off the blood left on her lips, and quickly backed away to avoid the lightning attack of the white bear in time.

·
Just as the next battle was about to begin, a soft female voice suddenly sounded, "Pause~~"

·
Immediately, Bai Xiong stopped his movements, and carefully stroked his furry head with a simple and honest expression, which completely lost the momentum and ferocity he had just now.

·
"Heh...heh...", Panting heavily, Anke stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from his lips, and looked at the big silly looking guy in disbelief.Although Gloria said before that there are dozens of animals that are stronger than her on this island, she never expected that it would be so powerful...

·
Gloria, who floated over, landed on the top of the white bear, and then looked down at the scarred person below, "Speaking of which, the lovely lady host is pretty good at adapting to this body~~, and now she can actually be with Xiaobai has been typing for a few minutes."
