I am brushing up materials in One Piece

Facing Smoker's inquiry, Aspen wanted to state his name directly, but thought of Kos's instructions and changed his words before blurting out.

"Saab, my name is Sabo."

He gave the name of his "dead" brother.

"Want one?"

Smoker took off one of the cigars hanging on his body and handed it to Ace.

"no thank you."

Ace, who did not have this hobby, declined Smoker's kindness.

So Smoker put the cigar handed to Ace into his mouth. After lighting the cigar, Smoker held two cigars in his mouth and half talked to himself as if he was vomiting bitterness.

"Nowadays, pirates have become a great profession. Obviously most of them are a bunch of bastards, but there are still a group of little bastards who are trying to go out to sea to find the treasure that that bastard Roger talks about."

"You seem to hate pirates?"

Ace asked knowingly.

"Of course."

Smoker held two cigars between his fingers and exhaled a large cloud of smoke, then gritted his teeth and said,

"I don't have the slightest fondness for a bastard who only dares to attack other people's wives and children."

After he finished speaking, he realized that he was a little rude, and then he waved his hand to indicate that Ace could leave and said:

"Don't climb up there again."

So Ace waved his hand and turned around and ran in the direction of Kos and Deus.

As early as when Smoker appeared, Kos turned sideways and pretended to talk to Deus without leaving any trace. He knew very well that the simple disguise on his face deceived people who had never actually seen him. People like Mog who had had many interactions with each other still couldn't let him see his true face.

In the end, because of the distance and Smoker's focus on Ace, Kos, whose right face was half covered by an eyepatch, was not recognized by him.

"Saab we should go."

Deus said that he knew very well that even if he was disguised, he still couldn't stay with the navy for too long, otherwise it would be difficult to ensure that the trap was not exposed.

"But Michal hasn't arrived yet..."

Ace was a little hesitant. He knew he shouldn't stay in the same place as the navy, but he didn't want to break the appointment either.

"It's okay, just come over after they leave."

Kos whispered, trying not to let Smoker hear the specific content of his discussion.

Ace also understood what Kos was thinking, and immediately shut up and prepared to leave.

But just when the three of them were about to leave together, a clear girl's voice came from the direction of Smoker.

"Wait a minute, is that knife?"

After hearing this voice, Kosi immediately put his hand on Shang Fang's knife handle. He secretly cursed himself for making such a stupid mistake - although Shang Fang was not eye-catching, it was confiscated by Smog. , if Dasqi had seen it during that period, he would definitely be recognized.

However, even though he was ready to draw his sword, Kos still pretended to be calm and responded with a low voice.

"What happened to my knife?"

"You should have bought your knife in Rogge Town, right?"

Dasqi reminded kindly,

"Don't listen to the boasts of those unscrupulous merchants. Most of the knives of this type are superficial. It's better to get another knife for self-defense."

Although he did not fully understand the meaning of Dasqi's words, Kos still understood that he or his knife had not been recognized.

"Thank you for reminding me, I will go find that profiteer to settle the score now."

After thanking him with his back turned, Kos walked away from this troublesome place slowly and unhurriedly.

Smoker did not cast too much suspicion on the three people, and this sudden departure was understood to be a normal reaction after being caught on the execution platform.

Because he felt that Ace was a match, Smoker glanced at the direction of the three of them a little longer, then turned around and continued patrolling.

"Pooh!"

A mouthful of muddy saliva was spat on the ground in front of Smoker.

"It's really unlucky that I met a dog when I went out."

A man with green hair and fangs wearing a red velvet collared coat took slow, striding steps in front of Smoker and his group in an extremely artificial manner.

After seeing the visitor, Smoker's face looked as uncomfortable as if flying insects flew into his throat when he opened his mouth to breathe while running.

Just as Cos predicted, Smoker finally released Bartolomeo under pressure from all parties, and since then Bartolomeo has appeared from time to time to show off his power and ridicule him.

Bartolomeo didn't make any trouble, he just hung around in front of Smoker and insulted him without naming him, without giving Smoker an excuse to arrest him and lock him up for a few more days.

For Smoker, Bartolomeo is like a mosquito buzzing in the dark, annoying and unable to do anything about him.

But saying there is no way is not completely impossible. Smoker's strength alone will not be a problem for the underground forces in Rogge Town, but he is currently concentrating on cleaning up the pirates and wants to completely cut off the connection between Rogge Town and the pirates. , not wanting to cause more conflicts.

"Rats are supposed to stay in the sewers. Why do they come out onto the streets and disgust people?"

Smoker also became angry with Bartolomeo. After dealing with Bartolomeo for so long, he did not make any progress.

"Tsk—"

Bartolomeo clicked his tongue in disdain,

"I'm not here to see you today."

Then he started to look around, as if looking for something.

"White clothes, white clothes, white clothes... got it!"

After seeing the back of Kos, Bartolomeo immediately ran over, waving his hands and shouting loudly as he ran:

"Brother Cos, brother Cos, wait for me!"

The face of Kos who was called suddenly became extremely ugly, and he immediately said to Ace and Deus:

"Run! Run!"

Seeing Cos running, Bartolomeo also increased his speed and shouted again:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to apologize to you. My mother-in-law has already taught me a lesson. I was wrong in what happened before. I have also taught a lesson to that bastard who made trouble. And didn't you also use these lackeys to lock me up before? Is that it? Let’s call it even, okay?”

Cos actually heard a bit of sincerity like a child in the mouth of this obscure gang boss, but no matter how sincere his tone was, Cos would only think about pushing him into the toilet and drowning him. idea.

If he hadn't known that Bartolomeo was such an extremely out-of-line character, Cos would probably have thought that he was deliberately exposing his identity to take revenge on himself.

"Kes? Such a familiar name."

Dusky lifted her chin with one finger thoughtfully.

"Depend on!"

Smoker spit out the cigar from his mouth,

"Chase me! Those three bastards are pirates!"
