The Third Young Master of Don Quixote's House

“It’s time for a big fight!!!”

Hrubi took a sip of tea and quietly watched the live broadcast in the arena.

A tall man with a hammer knocked the surrounding contestants into the water with one blow. "Well done!" "Smash him!" Deafening shouts immediately came from the audience.

"I'm going to knock you all out of the pool, hahaha!" The man picked up the hammer and laughed.

"...Eh?" As if attracted by something, the man suddenly turned around and saw Lucy in a red cloak.

Seeing Luci constantly using force to suppress other contestants, the man smiled and rushed forward with a hammer: "Humph, that's so interesting! ...I'm going to smash you!!!"

The man hit Lu Xi with a hammer, and thick smoke suddenly filled the field.

"!" The man suddenly showed a horrified expression.

After the smoke dissipated, a scene of a man's hammer being blocked by a child with one hand suddenly appeared.

"What's wrong with you?..." Before the man could finish his words, he was overturned by the child and thrown into the pond for the fighting fish to bite.

Hruby studied the child carefully and then almost choked on his tea.

"Contestant Albert knocked down the hammer man with one punch! Is he the dark horse of this competition?!" the host said excitedly, "Let's wait and see~"

Hruby: No, I don't want to wait and see.I just want to know when Ace signed up? ...No, when did Ace go to the arena?Wasn't he still with me just now? ? ?

--------------------------------

"Eh? Who are you? Thank you?" Luffy tugged on his beard and asked Ace in an old man's tone.

"..." Hey, Luffy, even if you disguise yourself a little, I won't be able to recognize you, right?I'm a qualified older brother! (Hrubi: Well, compared to someone who still doesn't recognize his second brother, Ace is really good. Doflamingo: Shut up! I doubt it. You are inside me!!!)

"Eh? ------Are you a little mute?" Luffy drew out his voice and approached Ace, "Huh? You look familiar? Could it be that I have seen you before?..."

Looking at Luffy's innocent face in front of me, I recalled the way Luffy collapsed during the war.Ace couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart and almost blurted out his identity.

Of course he knew that the prize for this competition was his Shao Shao Fruit, and he could also guess why Hrubi attracted Luffy here---it was nothing more than to give his proud brother a network of contacts and sell him money. A favor.

Ace was right, Hrubi did think so.This is why Hrubi has always forced Ace to stay with him.

In a way, Hrubi and Doflamingo are really similar.For example, he has a strong desire to control and does not allow those he likes to stay away from him; but Hrubi is very similar to Rocinante.For example, their starting point for doing things is kind-hearted. Although there may be some deviations during the task, they can always complete the task.

Hrubi's plan was actually very simple. He originally thought that after Ace regained his identity, the Don Quixote family could gain favors from both the Monkey family and the remnants of Whitebeard.

In this case, no matter which of his brothers wins in the future, he can turn around - if the eldest brother wins, he can use Whitebeard's power to fight against the eldest brother and protect the second brother (Doflamingo: You still Want to quarrel with me? You've had enough!!!); if the second brother wins, use Luffy's connections to pull the eldest brother out of prison (Rosinandi: Is it really a prison robbery???), anyway, the robbery field is Luffy has done this once, so he should already have experience.

In short, Hrubi's philosophy towards his two brothers is one word - Gou! Gou until you two shake hands and make peace!!!

"...Albert, you will meet me again!" Ace showed a sunny smile, which made Luffy stunned.

"Eh? You look really familiar... By the way! You look just like my brother!" Then, the nervous Luffy rubbed his head and couldn't help but sigh.

"Are you saying I look like an old man?" Ace joked. "No, no, no, it's nothing!" Luffy chuckled, and knocked another person away as he spoke, "You are very strong!"

"To each other, Lu...Old man." Ace was not to be outdone and concentrated on dealing with the enemy in front of him.

Being able to talk to my brother, being able to fight side by side with my brother... even though the other party didn't recognize me.But, he was also happy.

I’m really happy!

"Oh! There are only two contestants left in Area C! Who is the winner of Area C now? Who will have the right to participate in the final?!" the host said passionately, "Yes. A boy named Albert?... Or Mr. Lucy?! Let’s stay tuned!”

"Well, we're finally here! Haha!" Ace smiled with his hands on his hips, looking at the troubled brother in front of him.

"Well, I have a reason to win...so, I'm sorry!" Luffy said, clenching his fists in an attack gesture---

Ace leaned back---and fell straight into the water.

"Eh?!" A burst of murmurings broke out from the audience. Everyone looked confused, even Luffy himself was completely confused.

"Is this considered a voluntary abstention?" Fortunately, the host responded quickly and immediately answered the question, "Then, I declare that the winner of Area C this time is Mr. Lu Xi! Congratulations to Mr. Lu Xi for winning the right to enter the finals!"

"Wait! Albert?..." Luffy lay beside the pool and asked anxiously, "Will something happen to him?"

"Ah, don't worry about this. In every competition, we will seize the time to salvage the losing contestants. At most, they will be bitten by fighting fish." Someone from the medical team happened to pass by and answered Luffy's words with a smile, " Besides, Master Hrubi arrived not long ago, and the bettas in the pond were cleared out a few minutes ago."

"Ah, that's it." Luffy scratched his head. Although he couldn't figure out what Albert was doing, he just wanted nothing to happen to him. "That person named, what's his name...Hrubi, I can Want to meet me?"

"You want to see Mr. Hrubi, why?" A young nurse was bandaging the unsuccessful person, "...But luckily for you, Mr. Hrubi happened to be here for inspection today, so you can go backstage. See. Sir, he is not like other family members. He has no airs and is very approachable."

"Well, I don't know, I just think the name sounds familiar..." Seeing that the little nurse didn't respond, Luffy touched his nose and said, "Sure enough, you should take a look, right?"

By the way, look at the little boy named Albert... I really can't understand why he is such a powerful boy.It is no exaggeration to say that he has no problem winning the game by himself!

But why did he choose to abstain voluntarily at the last moment and give him the right to the finals? ? ?

I really don’t understand it!…
