One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

Chapter 128 Ace and Lujiu

South China Sea.

Batelira Island.

Today's weather is not as clear as yesterday. It is as blue as the lake and as attractive as the sky. In the sky, irregular gray clouds are floating around, eating the whole world bit by bit.

"Ace, let's go."

In the gloomy weather, An spoke in a low tone and waved for the latter to follow.

On the wharf of the island, which is not a bustling one, there are two rows of tall and thin bamboo-like trees. Curved branches extend from both sides of the trees, and unknown flowers are blooming. The gentle breeze blows the yellow buds and the white ones. The petals are swaying, and a fragrance comes with the wind, as if to welcome the wanderers leaving home.

Lifting his legs as if they were filled with lead, Ace silently followed his sister, the atmosphere seemed a bit silent.

Step by step on the dry dirt road, the two of them walked along the straight road, crossed a creek, turned two intersections, and stopped in front of an old two-story building.

"Ace, open it!"

Touching the wooden fence door outside the courtyard, An stepped back and gave his position to his younger brother whose face was covered by a hat.

He walked forward slowly, took off his cowboy hat with one hand, and looked blankly at the courtyard environment, the flowerbed under the window sill, the wooden table on the lawn, and the white stone path leading to the end. All of this was familiar yet unfamiliar.

His eyes fell on the wooden sign erected outside the fence. "Potter Carter D. Lujiu", a name engraved in Ace's heart, appeared in this world.

Placing his hand on the fence gate, Ace trembled, but did not exert any force.

Quietly waiting for Ace to make a move, An, who was wearing a white floral dress, did not rush her. She twirled her hair with her fingers, "In this world, long absence makes me miss you the most, and missing her hurts the most."

"Squeak~"

There was a sharp sound from the hinge of the wooden door, and the fence door opened in response.

Taking courage and moving forward, Ace walked to the end of the white stone path.

"Luffy, let's wait for Ace outside."

Still playing with her hair with her fingers, Ann let out a breath and reached out to grab Luffy's shoulders.

"Okay sister."

Luffy is just too lively. This does not mean that he is stupid. It is obvious that he also knows that this place is very important to Ace.

Inside the two-story building.

Next to the withered white flowers on the dining table, a photo of Lujiu with a red hibiscus flower in her blond hair was placed in a white photo frame.

The woman's smile is as bright as a flower, and her joy can be felt through the still photo.

"Mother..., I'm back."

"Tick-tock, tick-tock, the tears of longing fall one by one."

……

The cemetery on one side of the island is where the dead residents of the island are buried.

Outside the cemetery, listening to Ace's cry inside and recalling the cause of Lujiu's death, An's eyes filled with tears. He looked to his side with a smile and said something incomprehensible, "Hey! Luffy, change this world." rely on you."

...

Nanhai Branch 113.

As soon as they took Ace off the boat, Mars walked towards them.

"Major General An, General Qing Pheasant and others have escorted Drought Jack away."

"I understand." An didn't pay much attention to the three people leaving, but instead asked Mars to follow her.

In the base office, Mars sat upright in front of An.

This time Mars comes to White Bird Town, I have two things to tell you.

"Major General An, tell me, I will definitely complete it."

"The first thing I want you to do is use the power of the navy to help Hiss establish an intelligence network that covers the entire South China Sea and the Grand Route, and at the same time help him open up trade routes.

If An wants to fight against the World Government, he needs to have his own intelligence network that is large enough to fight against the World Government. As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you succeed.

"The second thing is that I need you to help me find talents, no matter what kind of talents they are. Once the other person is willing to join us, you can directly send them to the Windmill Kingdom, where there will be specialized people to train them. "

In the process of recruiting talents, you can let Sally use her Devil Fruit abilities to help you, but remember to hide her abilities. "

Listening to his boss's explanation, Mars' blood boiled with enthusiasm. He wished he could overthrow the World Government immediately and let everyone live a peaceful life in the South China Sea.

As if thinking of something, An added: "For those pirates who have done many evil things, we can let Sally brainwash them and make them our secret agents."

Ships come and go in the port area and time flies by.

On the Windmill Kingdom's warship, An, who had stayed in White Bird Town for three months, was finally embarking on his journey back to the East China Sea.

In the past three months, An accompanied the four Mars people in actual combat every day. With patient training, the four people's strength has improved a lot. Except for Finn who has not yet awakened the armed color, the others have all two colors of domineering. Awakening, Mars has initially mastered the "power of rhythm".

Leave some Devil Fruit behind to remind Mars not to forget to urge Sally and them to exercise every day. "

After explaining, An caught up with the Kingdom's warship and left White Bird Town.

……

The country of Wano, the island of ghosts.

In a majestic hall, he was wearing a black suit and leather jacket, a mask and a helmet with goggles on his face, and metal ring decorations on his legs and arms. A pair of black wings stood behind him, one of the three disasters, the Flame Disaster? Came in.

Behind him, he was wearing a green cloak, with the black tie of the suit underneath exposed at his neck, and a flower mask used for tribal sacrifices covering his face. This was clearly CP0 affiliated with the intelligence department of the world government.

On the high platform of the majestic hall, a drunk Kaido stood up unsteadily.

"Hiccup~"

After burping wine, the blushing Kaido disappeared, patted Jhin on the shoulder, and said in a daze, "Why is this guy here?"

Looking at the drunken man, Jin shook his head helplessly, "Boss Kaido, Jack was captured by the navy, and the World Government asked him to negotiate."

"Huh? Isn't that idiot always in Kuri? When did the navy come to Wano?"

Noticing that his boss was unconscious, Jhin patiently explained: "Jack was caught by the admiral in the South China Sea because he was looking for the female navy."

"hiss!"

After rubbing his aching head, Kaido finally remembered that he had asked Jack to go out.

"Tell me about the conditions for world government."

After all, he is his subordinate. Even though he is a little stupid, Kaido still wants to redeem him. Anyway, this is not the first time he has made a deal with the World Government.

Being familiar with the road, CP0 made a "six" gesture with his palm and said calmly, "The World Government wants 5% of Wano's output within years."

It is ridiculous to say that the World Government, which represents the Navy of Justice, would actually make a deal with a pirate, and the bargaining chip is still a big pirate who endangers the world.

"Thunder gossip!"

At some point, a huge mace with black barbs appeared in Kaido's hand and hit CP0 hard.

After knocking CP0 off the ghost island with one blow, Kaido's dissatisfied voice came out, "Go back and tell the World Government, %. If you don't agree, I will go to Impel Down City myself."

Also, Jhin, ask that brat Doflamingo tomorrow when the first batch of artificial devil fruits will be successful.
