Pirates, swordsmen who gradually grow up to liberate the world

Returning to Maginot's bar, Alsace saw Gion sitting alone by the window, waiting for his return.

Seeing Alsace coming back, Gion smiled gently: "Is it solved?"

"I think it's settled."

In front of the bar, Ace, who had already had dinner, focused all his attention on Alsace. After thinking for a long time, he said:

"Hey, you're...very strong, right?"

This question made Alsace approach him out of interest. Just because he didn't like the Monkey family now didn't mean he didn't like Ace.

This man, who has been surrounded by various public opinions since he was a child, has been searching for the answer, but in the end he did not get the answer.

Alsace came to him and stared at him with a stern expression: "Want to try?"

"Haha!" Ace smiled disdainfully and said, "You can't beat me as an adult. If you only want to be as intimidating as your superficial aura, I can beat you down with a steel pipe."

Hearing this, Alsace opened his mouth, revealing his white teeth and smiling particularly horribly.

"Okay, if you can beat me down, I can grant you any wish." As he said that, Arthas leaned close to Ace's ear: "It's really any wish."

The very seductive tone seemed to deliberately let Ace realize that he knew him very well.

Ace was surprised, picked up the steel pipe and walked outside.

"Is this what you said, any wish is allowed?"

"Any wish within the scope of your understanding will do."

Seeing Arthas going out with Ace, Gion kept recalling his encounter with him in his mind, which was really strange and terrifying.

Ding!

Ding!

Ding!

...

The absolute silence outside the pier lasted less than a minute, and Ace stared at Alsace with a curved steel pipe in his hand, a look of panic on his face.

monster? It was obviously meant to hit him, but the steel pipe actually bent...?

"Where are you tickling? Or have you not eaten?" Alsace kept stimulating Ace.

"Damn it, it's not over yet!" The enraged Ace directly chose to discard the steel pipe, clenched his fists and rushed towards Alsace.

He was beaten wildly, and each punch slightly shattered the bones of his hand.

Even so, Ace endured the pain and had no intention of stopping.

The belief to never back down or run away? Arthas felt the powerless blow and the way Ace tried his best.

I feel that this is a character flaw. It may have been this character that killed him in the original movie Top War, and made all the efforts of the Whitebeard Pirates fall short.

"Ohhhhh!"

The fingers were bleeding and the skin was torn. Alsace stood there and let Ace beat him from day to dusk.

Until the bones in his hands were almost shattered, blood covered both arms, and he didn't have any strength to punch himself.

"Why don't you give up?"

At dusk, Arthas still maintained his cold expression and asked Ace.

"I don't know..." Ace said. He was too tired to lift his arms, but he still wanted to punch Alsace.

"This type of personality will get you killed."

"I don't know, I must win...I will never back down."

"Ace..." Luffy, who had been watching all day, could do nothing but stand outside the bar and watch.

"That's enough!" The village chief couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward to stop him and said, "I already know that you have completely given up to him and fully demonstrated your character as an adult, but he is almost exhausted."

"Let me go! I can still fight."

Seeing that the village chief was looking for someone to carry him away, Ace had the unyielding spirit to support him.

To Alsace, it was just a boring joke, but to him, it was a battle where dignity and faith were at stake.

I have never seen such a person, who can stand there and beat himself for a whole day without being hurt at all.

The strong land is simply outrageous...

"There's no need to deliberately change anything, just go drink..." Alsace looked at Ace being carried away and shook his head.

I don’t feel the need to correct his character.

"Well, you're done?"

"You're drunk, Pink Rabbit."

"I miss Roel..."

Gion Momo was sitting opposite Alsace, lying on the table with a drunken face, looking very seductive.

But in Alsace's eyes, it was heartache.

"He is no longer here."

"I know, but I just miss him."

From dusk to night, Maginot's bar became more and more crowded.

Farmers and fishermen who had finished their work came one after another.

The cheerful atmosphere in the bar was baked to the extreme, and it did not affect Alsace and Gion at the window of the bar at all.

The two of them kept clinking glasses, drinking to drown their sorrows without thinking too much.

"I should be stronger and hold on until you come back. Oh~, don't think about it anymore, don't think about it anymore. Happiness is the most important thing, it's so heavy."

From being accustomed to seeing death to becoming numb, she still cannot accept the fact of losing her own flesh and blood.

The pain is indescribable. A person with white hair gives a person with black hair...

"For people with our level of strength, coming to such a peaceful sea area would undoubtedly be too depressing."

"Yes...yes."

After getting Gion completely drunk, Arthas left the bar holding her collar.

He walked to the rented room on the second floor of Maginot Bar and threw her on the bed.

"I owe you, Gion." When the two were alone, Arthas called her by her real name.

"Jiaji also died in the battle. Sure enough, dust will return to dust and dust will return to dust. We will not be able to escape after all..."

After Gion was settled down to sleep, Alsace sat on the floor and fell asleep leaning against the bed.

……

The next day.

On board the Grand Line·Sun Pirates.

Led by Fisher Tiger, everyone gathered on the ship's deck, listening to the call from Princess Otohime of Fishman Island.

"Tiger, can I ask you a favor?"

Hearing that Princess Otohime, the kindest one in her race, asked for help, all the fishmen in the Sun Pirates instantly stood in awe.

"Empress Otohime, what are you talking about? Just give me your orders."

"I previously proposed the idea of ​​coexistence with humans. Thanks to my efforts, everyone agreed. More than half of the people now support the proposal of coexistence with humans."

"Isn't this a good thing?"

Tiger and everyone suddenly became happy, their faces full of joy.

"But now, there is still one thing missing, and that is to find a base for the mermaid tribe on land. Where should we start to build trust between humans and the mermaid tribe?"

"Uh…"

Tiger and the crew looked at each other, all at a loss.

They are pirates and explorers of the fish-men tribe exploring the land, and they don't know what to do with this kind of thing.

At this moment, a whale shark man said: "Boss Tiger, didn't you have an acquaintance with that man in Xihai before? Maybe he can help."

“But, I’m not familiar with him…and I don’t have his contact information.

"Don't you have Rayleigh?" Xiao Qiu suddenly reminded.

"There are so many isolated islands in the Western Sea, so there should be places where we fish people live, right?"

It can be said that no one knows about Alsace's control of the Western Sea. Instead of believing in the World Government, it is better to believe in the accomplices who made trouble in Mariejoia in the past.

"Then let's try to get in touch..."

After the Marie Joa incident, Fisher Tiger established the Sun Pirates and has been sailing on the sea for 5 years.

After meeting Krall and sending him back to his hometown, he was not attacked by Kizaru. Due to Alsace's disruption of the timeline, the timeline of the Pirate World has been greatly changed.
