Behind the scenes of One Piece

change first

======

The gunboat sailed calmly.

Since the ship had eight black gun barrels on each side, the surrounding ships did not dare to approach it, and the gun ship was able to move smoothly.

Guli sat on the bow of the boat, blowing the wind while checking his remaining points.

This time when I go to Alabasta, I will definitely encounter Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai. I probably won't be able to deal with him with just these few cards now, so I need to consider drawing new cards.

After drawing the Himura Kenshin card last time, there were still 35 points left. Later, I met the clown Bucky, Smoker, Robin, Vivi, Ikarem, and the old man of Twin Cape and other characters one after another. A total of 90 points were obtained from these people, plus the 110 points obtained from completing tasks, he now has a total of 235 points!

235 points may only be able to draw a card with similar combat power to Himura Kenshin, which is far from enough to deal with Crocodile.

After all, the other party is the top force in this world - the Shichibukai.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a "boom" and something fell onto the boat.

Gu Li looked back and saw that someone had jumped onto the side of the boat!

He has black hair, a bronze complexion, an orange cowboy hat on his head, and a necklace of red beads hanging around his neck. The most conspicuous thing is that on his left arm, there are four letters of ASCE tattooed on him, with the second The letter "S" is crossed out.

This is Luffy's sworn brother - Portcas D. Ace!

"Ace!" Unexpectedly, Guli blurted out the other person's name.

"Hey, do you recognize me?" Ace raised his head curiously, revealing the freckles on his face.

"Well... you are a member of the Whitebeard Pirates. Any pirate with a little common sense should know this, right?" Gu Li quickly found an excuse for himself.

"Has Dad's reputation spread to the beginning of the Grand Line?"

Ace murmured and jumped onto the deck:

"Sorry, I'm very hungry. Do you have food on board?"

"Yes, yes!" Guli agreed hurriedly, then turned around and ordered Prado to prepare some food and bring it up.

After giving the order, Guli turned back and stared at Ace intently.

Ace was his favorite character, and when he saw the plot of his death, he was sad for several days.

It's rare to see him alive now, so I couldn't help but take a second look.

"Hey, do I have treasure on me?" Ace couldn't stand the sight of him.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Gu Li then realized that he was rude: "Why did you come to this ship?"

"Ah, first of all, it's because I'm hungry, and seeing that the ship is big enough, there must be more food..." Ace replied.

"Well, there's no problem with food. If you're on the way, you can stay on this ship for a few more days. We're sailing to Alabasta." Guli said.

"That's what I wish for." Ace said, glanced at the pirate flag on the top of the ship, and said, "By the way, is your pirate group newly established? I have never seen this flag before."

"Yes, it was just established two days ago." Guli said with a smile.

"Then, you are the captain?" Ace guessed after comparing the size of Guli's eyes.

Guli nodded.

"By the way," Ace suddenly remembered something and his face turned serious: "Do you have any powerful people joining your new team?"

Gu Li shook his head: "No, they are all people I know, and they are not as good as me."

"If I'm not as powerful as you, how powerful can I be?"

Guli activated the Black Momotaro card, transformed into a demon ape, and punched Ace.

Ace then also raised his fist and fought with Gu Li.

When the two fists met, Ace's fist burst into flames, which immediately spread from Guli's fist to his whole body, turning him into a roasted monkey.

"Ah, I'm sorry, are you so fragile?" Ace didn't expect that a little flame could have such an effect, and he was shocked.

Guli rolled around on the deck several times and ate the rice balls in time, thus avoiding the fate of being roasted.

"Sorry, sorry!" Ace apologized and explained: "I was chasing a small team of traitors. This guy has been running away from the New World in the direction of the Grand Line. I guess he ran nearby. So I am not sure if there are newcomers. All the pirate groups who join are paying attention.”

Guli knew that he was arresting Blackbeard, and immediately felt the urge to admonish him.

The other party later defeated Ace directly and handed him over to the Navy.

"That traitor, he must be very powerful, right? I think it is better for a person like you to stay with Whitebeard. There is no need to catch the traitor personally."

Ace shook his head and said: "A man must be responsible. Naturally, I will catch the traitors in our team."

Gu Li was still trying to persuade him, but suddenly the system issued a "ding!" prompt:

[System mission: Don’t tell Ace his subsequent fate, otherwise 235 points will be deducted! 】

Hiss - Gu Li took a breath when he saw this line of text.

You can deduct all your points with just one sentence!The system doesn't want to expose the plot on its own.

But the living Ace is in front of him. I can't bear to see him die even if I see him alive.

Thinking of this, Gu Li couldn't help but take out a deck of Tarot cards from behind his back.

"There's nothing going on on the ship anyway. I'm a magician. I'll give you a divination!"

He wanted to use the prophecies of tarot cards to give Ace some warning.

At least let him be fully prepared before the final battle with Blackbeard, so that he won't be captured by mistake.

Unexpectedly, Ace was not interested in tarot cards and shook his head:

"Sorry, I hate the idea of ​​fate, so I don't like divination."

Guli had no choice but to change his approach. He pointed at Ace's left arm and asked, "What does the tattoo on your arm mean? Why is there a cross on the S?"

Ace smiled lightly and said, "I got this tattoo in memory of my sworn brothers when I was young. S is a brother who has passed away. He encountered an accident when he went to sea a long time ago."

Gu Li understood that he was referring to Sabo, who was attacked by a Celestial Dragon ship shortly after going to sea. Ace and Luffy always thought he was dead.

"Have you ever thought that that brother is not actually dead?"

In fact, Sabo did not die, but was saved by the revolutionary Long. He should now have become a senior cadre within the revolutionary army.

Gulina Sabo reminded Ace that he hoped that the other party would retain more of a survival mentality.

Because Ace is the son of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger, he has always had a death-seeking mentality. This mentality was amplified to the greatest extent when he was imprisoned in the underwater prison of Impel Down.

Although Luffy later broke into Impel Down and rescued Ace, Ace's determination to die did not waver.

As the "younger brother", Luffy inspires Ace's spirit of sacrifice; unlike Sabo, who can inspire his desire to "survive" with his partners.

But Ace obviously didn't take Guli's words to heart, and he didn't really want to talk about Sabo. When he saw Prado bringing the food, he stopped talking and started to concentrate on eating, dozing off while eating.

So Gu Li finally realized that as an outsider, he had the ability to persuade Ace.

Unless you become stronger and can save Ace on the spot, it is useless to just talk without practicing.

Thinking of this, he also closed his mouth and sat down side by side with Ace to eat in silence.
