Projecting the heavens from One Piece World

Chapter 24
"Can you give me that arrest warrant as well?" Roach pointed to the one that had been pasted next to his arrest warrant, which had a cartoon face of a panda on it.

The bartender quickly handed him the panda's wanted notice.

"Hey, I haven't noticed that the panda named Gol D. Roger has a reward of [-] Baileys. Is this your crew member?"

Seeing the bartender's suppressed smile, Roach twitched the corner of his mouth, put the two arrest warrants in his arms, and gave a vague "Yes".

Just as the turmoil he caused subsided little by little, side dishes to accompany the wine were brought over, all of which were peanuts or pickled vegetables.

Seeing that everyone's attention was no longer focused on him, Luo Qi pulled the bartender and asked, "How do you sell the wine here? I want it in barrels."

"[-] Baileys per barrel, no counter-offering, you must know that we are here to provide drinks exclusively for the Whitebeard Pirates." The bartender pointed to the flag on the wall and said, it was a burning flame bird.

Roach nodded. He just tasted the beer. Although it is not as mellow as Nancy's wine, it still has a unique flavor, and he can obviously drink the pure brew without water.

"Come three... no, four barrels, can you come and get the wine when I leave?"

"Of course, we have enough wine here, and the whole town is dedicated to wine making."

"Thank you very much." After thanking Luo Qi, he grabbed a few peanuts and ate them. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the phone bug hadn't eaten for several days, so he took it out, and used his sleeve to cover it up. .

The little guy was obviously very hungry. After squinting at Roach, he threw himself into his palm and ate peanuts.

At this time, the surroundings became noisy. Roach, who was concentrating on drinking, put away the phone bug, turned around, and saw a group of people making noise around a dining table.

He got up curiously and walked over, probably because of his identity as a pirate, the crowd parted ways for Roach.

Roach squeezed in, walked inside and took a look, and saw a man with his back facing him, wearing black shorts on the lower body, naked upper body, a cowboy hat hanging behind his head, covering the tattoos on the back, two Holding a knife and fork in his hand, his head was buried in the meat sauce noodles and he remained motionless.

The reason why the crowd was talking a lot was that this man had suddenly encountered an accident, but Luo Qi felt that this man looked familiar.

Looking at the tattoo on the man's arm, he couldn't help but read out: "Asce, Ace...Ace?"

"Huh? Who is calling me?"

The man suddenly woke up like a corpse, and the people around him were startled. He scratched his head, looked around, and started eating noodles again.

"It's so dangerous, I accidentally fell asleep while eating, and almost choked to death, hahahaha."

Putting the cowboy hat back on the head, the tattoo on the back is also fully displayed, which is the logo of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Seeing members of the Whitebeard Pirates, the crowd dispersed immediately after being shocked, and many timid people chose to leave the tavern.

The bartender had obviously recognized the person's identity, but he didn't disturb him from eating. After seeing him wake up, he brought him another noodles with bolognese sauce.

"No, I'm full." Ace waved his hands and smiled, with a few freckles on his handsome face, adding a bit of childishness.

"Okay, please trouble us if you have anything to do." The bartender bowed and walked away slowly.

At this moment, cold sweat broke out on Roach's back. Aoki just mentioned Ace before he left, but he met Ace in a short time, and he couldn't help but feel bad.

Fortunately, Ace didn't stare at him, and Roach couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, watching his back walking towards the door, and kept thinking about how to get out of here as soon as possible.

"That's right." Ace stopped at the door, turned his head and said to the crowd in the hall.

"Are there any pirates here? I just wanted to get off the boat."

Everyone looked at Roach in unison, making him want to hide in the crack of the wall.

"It just so happened that my boat was damaged. Just take me a ride and send me to the next island." Ace walked up to Roach very familiarly, and hooked his shoulders with him.

"Well, I'm just a small boat, and my speed is limited after all." Roach had to keep pushing.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Ace patted him on the shoulder, pulled Roach out of the tavern, and headed out of town.

"I actually know how to repair boats. If you don't mind, let me fix them for you." Naturally, Roach didn't want to take Ace with him, so he had to go to work to help him repair the boat.

"It's okay if you don't say it earlier."

Seeing that Ace immediately agreed, Roach was relieved. After buying some planks in the town along the way, the two returned to the pier.

"It's this?" Roach said in surprise, pointing to the boat that looked more like a skateboard.

"Don't underestimate it, the speed of sailing is much faster than that of ordinary ships."

Roach was not idle, and while repairing the ship with wooden boards, he said, "Ace, you are burning the fruit. Could it be that you use the flame as a thrust to drive the ship forward?"

"Of course, you can tell that, how many brushes do you have, why don't you just come to my boat."

"No, no, I already have a pirate group after all." Roach quickly refused, and at the same time he stopped, Ace's ship was completely intact after simple repairs.

"Forget it, hahaha, by the way, what's your name?" Ace put the boat back on the sea, stepped on it, and flames gushed out from the bottom of his feet.

"My name is Luo Qi, can I ask a question?" Luo Qi asked when he saw that he was about to leave.

"Oh, it's okay, since you've helped me a lot, just ask." Ace said indifferently.

"Why did you suddenly appear here?"

Ace reached out and pressed the cowboy hat on his head, staring slightly at the sea: "Come find someone."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand to Roach, and the flames under his feet soared, pushing the boat towards the distance.

What Ace didn't notice was that Roach's eyes narrowed, and he had vaguely guessed the answer in his heart.

"Blackbeard betrayed the Whitebeard Pirates because of the devil fruit, and he seemed to have killed a captain before leaving. The person Ace is looking for may not be Blackbeard..."

Thinking of this, Roach quickly ran towards the tavern, feeling a sense of uneasiness in his heart. It is absolutely not suitable to stay here for a long time. If these two people really collide, he cannot intervene.

Ten minutes later, Roach returned to his boat panting with four barrels of wine in his arms, ready to return, and the oars moved at an astonishing speed.

In just a moment, Roach disappeared from the island's sight.
