Arkham in the pirate world

After Ace made an agreement with Whitebeard, he started working for the Whitebeard Pirates. After this mission, he could have a duel with Whitebeard.

This is why Ace acts with Thatch.

Pity the pirate captain who was eating the King's meal. He was thrown heavily on the deck and rolled several times. Zhen Gege hit the mast and seemed to be barely breathing.

Saatchi's subordinates connected the phone bug to a box-shaped instrument, then took a picture of the captain's face and faxed it to him. A reply came shortly after.

Ace picked up the reply letter. There was a skeleton-shaped signature on the letter, which was Skaar's symbol. It seemed that intelligence expert Skaar was still working.

"Larkon, who was born in the West Sea and pretended to be asleep, has a bounty of 7500 million beli."

"This bounty is not bad, then let's hand this person over to the navy," Saatchi said after coming over to confirm the contents of the letter.

"Will the Navy pay pirates?"

“There are specialized middlemen who do these things,” Saatchi said with a smile.

"They will disguise themselves as bounty hunters and act as agents to collect bounties. Teach, tie that man up tightly. The rest is up to you."

砰

A dull gunshot made people look back.

"Oh"

Teach touched his belly, his hands were wet and covered with blood, and at his feet was Captain Larkon, who was seriously injured, holding a gun in his hand.

"Titch"

"Ahhh, I'm shot." Tikki screamed in fright when he saw his own blood.

"Didn't Che put away his weapon? He was so careless." Ace waved his "musket" towards the enemy and was about to shoot.

At this time, a scream rang out, as if it came from a giant squashed frog, which made people not want to hear it a second time.

"It hurts me so much, you bastard"

Teach stepped on Larkon's body, twisting his limbs behind him and almost sinking into the deck.

It's too much

"Hey, are you still angry?"

"Hahaha!" Teach just laughed.

Ace was a little at a loss and said, "Are you okay? You were shot."

"Uh-huh, hahaha, it hurts." Only then did Tiqi cover the wound. As if he just remembered it, he fell to the ground in a serious manner and began to call the ship's doctor loudly.

This guy is so heartless

Ace was speechless.

Marshall D. Teach is a man who behaves like this no matter what happens. Such a messy person is actually his own caregiver.

"Brother Sachi, the fire is too strong and can't be put out."

The raging fire caused by Ace's commotion threatened to surround the ship, and the ship was about to sink.

If you leave things to the people below, you will end up in a mess like this.

Ace and the others quickly retreated and returned to their ship. After defeating this group of rogue pirates, Ace, Thatch, and a bandaged Teach held a small celebration party nearby at the dock.

"I drank this glass of wine for my father's flag," said Sage, raising his glass.

"I won't do it," Ace said.

"Hahahaha, the meal you eat after finishing your work is so delicious."

Eat a meal, fight a meal, drink a meal.

Teach is like a standard template for pirates. As long as you let him eat and make trouble, he won't cause trouble.

This town hangs the flag of Whitebeard. Although Ace and the others are pirates, the shopkeepers are very polite to them.

"That redhead really did it."

After drinking good wine, everyone will relax. Sage listened to Ace tell about his adventures, talking about what happened when he went to meet the red-haired man.

"That's right. Shanks pointed to the scar on his left eye and said this. This scar on me was given by the Whitebeard Pirates," Ace said.

"Do you know who that person is?"

"Didn't the red hair say anything?"

"It seems that I was interrupted for some reason. You should tell me who that person is and don't tell anyone."

Faced with Ace's question, Thatch fell into deep thought.

"He's one of ours, right?"

"Hey, isn't this known to everyone here?" Ace wondered, this kind of thing should be very famous.

"I never expected that something like hurting that red-haired face could become a topic of conversation after dinner," Teach said.

"It wasn't the captain who did it. If it was one of the captains, it wouldn't be a joke. Teach, do you know about this?" Thatch asked.

"Ah, what do you know?"

"It's just that one of our people messed up the red-haired guy's face, anyway."

"That's me" Sachi said vaguely while eating.

"what"

Ace and Thatch looked at the tall veteran in front of them in disbelief.

Sage picked up the uncut pizza and stuffed it into his mouth, then poured the red wine in the small glass into his stomach.

"I lied to you," he said after finishing the drink.

"Too"

"How can it be"

It was just a drunkard's little joke, and Ace breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, it's just a story at a banquet. The red-haired guy probably saw that he was a new guy and wanted to scare me." Ace raised his glass of wine.

Seeing this, Sachi changed the subject.

"By the way, Ace, the tattoo on your arm is a joke?"

Saatchi seemed to have been very concerned about it, and he asked while he was still drunk.

For Ace, this question has been asked countless times.

"Well, that's what happened. I'm too lazy to explain it. It's too long to explain it every time, and it's not an interesting story."

"Um"

"The x on this s is the flag seal of my dead brother, that's all."

Ace has sworn to Luffy since his sworn brother Sabo was a pirate and was sunk by a Celestial Dragon ship as soon as he went to sea.

"Listen up, Luffy, we have to live without regrets. The specific way of living is probably different for everyone, but in short, if you don't do things that will make you regret, you will always understand if you live."

Sabo's death made Ace truly aware of the concept of death, and also made him think about the meaning of living for the first time.

"Everyone has to die. If that's the case, then I don't want to die thinking about my deep hatred for my father and the world. It's meaningless. I'm sorry for the brothers who drank the sworn wine with me."

However, Ace did not intend to reveal these thoughts or his brother's name easily.

"Oh"

"You have another brother."

"Hey, how old is he and what does he do?"

"I am three years younger. We decided to go to sea and become pirates when we turn 17, so my younger brother will also go to sea by then."

"Isn't he great?"

"My brother ate Devil Fruit when he was very young. I only ate it after I became a pirate, but I have always been the winner."

Ace and Sabo have been competing and recording wins and losses, and later Luffy joined in, but he, the youngest, has never won.

"Hey, goodbye Luffy, I'll go first."

"Well, I will be stronger when I go to sea in three years."

Ace still remembers the scene that day.

Leaving Luffy at Mount Kolbo, Ace set sail. Luffy still dreams of becoming the Pirate King. For Ace, it is unimaginable that Luffy will look downcast. Now Ace has encountered the barrier of the Yonko. , if it were Luffy, what would he say at this time?

Ace thought to himself.

"Devil Fruit!" The drunk Sachi was in a good mood.

"We have a lot of food here. Marco, Joz, and Dad."

Ace was speechless. He couldn't get Whitebeard to use the ability that matched his title of "monster".

"Our rule here is that whoever finds the devil fruit can eat it. Of course, if you sell it, you can get over million yuan. The fruit I want to eat is yours, Ace."

"why"

"Can't you make fire with your hands? In my eyes as a chef, this is so enviable. You can control the temperature of any fire at will. Although the kitchen knife is the soul of the chef, fire is a lifelong companion for the chef. "

"I see, it would be great if I could give you a share." Ace said.

"This is impossible. There is only one devil fruit of the same type in the world."

"That's right, if you want to eat the Sha Shao Fruit no matter what," Teach finished the wine in one gulp, and then pointed the knife at Ace happily.

"Then we can only kill Ace, thief hahaha. It is said that as soon as a person with abilities dies, the fruit will grow somewhere in the world."

Saatchi took one look at it and said, "The joke is too much. It makes me want to eat the fruits of murder. Not yet. Miss, please have another bottle of red wine."

Ace showed a wry smile and said: "Then give up the burning fruit. Besides, what other fruits do you want? For example, the ice fruit doesn't require a refrigerator."

"Ah, that won't work, it will be eaten by the blue pheasant." Sachi shook his head.

"Who is Qing Pheasant?"

"Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Aokiji, Kuzan is a user with the frozen fruit ability. The three generals, Akainu and Kizaru, are both of the natural type."

"What about the kitchen knives, Blade Man or something like that?" Ace asked again.

"This is really convenient." Saatchi pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, this fruit should have been eaten by some killers, and I quite like sharpening kitchen knives."

"Hahahaha, devil fruits are not that easy to see even after being a pirate for so long."

"Tiqi said, what kind of fruit do you want to eat?" Ace suddenly asked.

"Me? Me?"

When Tiqi lifted it up, it seemed too small for a giant man like Tiqi.

"I know, Teach, you want that, right?" Sachi looked at him with a sneaky look in his eyes and said.

"How do you know, Sachi?" Tiqi was shocked and looked panicked.

"what to say"

"Isn't this obvious? Ace is the legendary transparent fruit. If you eat this fruit, you will become a transparent person."

“True or false, there’s that kind of fruit.”

"Hahaha, thief, you discovered me." Tiqi scratched his head and stuck out his tongue.

"I understand this, after all, it is a waste of men."

The three people discussed various obscene ideas about what they wanted to do after becoming transparent people.

Unconsciously, a group of little girls gathered around the table.

It was children from the port town. If you looked closely, you could see that their parents were also gathered outside the restaurant where the banquet was being held.

"What's the matter, lovely little ladies?" Sachi greeted with a smile.

"Holding this represents our gratitude."

A little girl handed Sage a wreath of wild flowers.

"Wow, what beautiful flowers, thank you"

Sachi lowered his head respectfully.

"No, I won't use it." Ace wanted to return the garland.

"Idiot Ace, do you want to embarrass the lady?" Thatch punched him.

"thief hahaha"

Teach accepted the garland and put it on her finger.

Seeing that he was about to become the only bad guy, Ace had no choice but to let the wreath hang on his head.

flower

Have you ever been given flowers before? I thought that even if I died and was buried, I would never be given flowers by others.

This is the rule of Whitebeard.

That man should have immeasurable power. Based on that power, Whitebeard's country can exist in this territorial sea. That power makes the people look forward to Whitebeard's rule. Even such a small child can Under the protection of this man who is more terrifying than a ghost, everyone knows how to be grateful like this.

This power is the weapon to achieve ambition

The person he wants to behead is that kind of man

If one day, that man is really killed by himself, what will happen to these people?

Get a new ruler

If it were you, would you be able to shoulder such a responsibility? Carrying the lives of dozens or millions of people on your back?

"Brothers, are you good pirates?" a little girl asked Ace.

"Hey this"

What is a good pirate?

Are pirates who protect the people in territorial waters a good pirate? But to other pirates' territorial citizens, they might be plunderers.

After all, if you are a saint, a gentleman, a good person, etc., you will not engage in pirates at all.

There may be good people among pirates, but most of them are people who plunder everywhere and take the wealth, food, etc. that they need to survive from others.

Ace thought to himself, but didn't know how to explain it.

"You listen to me, little sister" Tikki answered for Ace.

"Pirates don't distinguish between good and bad."

As he said that, Tiqi put the garland he received on his face and swallowed it all into his stomach with a crunch.

The little girls opened their eyes wide as they did not expect to eat it.

"It's so delicious. Feed this flower to Ace, and give me your flower too."

"Take it." Ace took the wreath and threw it to Teach.

"Okay, okay, okay" Sachi clapped his hands.

"What this uncle and eldest brother said is boring. I don't understand. Thank you, little ladies. In another twenty, no, in another ten years, will I be able to become my uncle's bride?" Saqi asked with a smile.

"I don't want it."

"Oh, is it so"

Sage smiled as he watched a group of little girls run away.
