Comic series: Starting from Pirates to Cultivate the True Self

On the endless blue sea, a pirate ship is sailing slowly towards the Sabaody Archipelago.

Looking at the pirate flag pattern on it, it is Ace's Spade Pirates.

However, at this time, although the members of the Spade Pirates were busy with their own work, they all looked carefully at the figure lying on the beach chair on the deck from time to time.

"Uncle! Why are you following me?"

Mo Xingchen, lying on the beach chair, didn't say a word, nor did he even open his eyes, basking in the sun with a comfortable look on his face.

Luo, who was sitting next to him with one hand on the table supporting his head and drinking milk through a straw, said lazily:

"Because he is bored, he wants to take a ride on your ship to see if there is anything that would interest him."

Ace's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he looked helpless.

It is true that he admires Mo Xingchen, and he also likes to be with Mo Xingchen.

but!

That was when I was a kid!

Now he feels that he has grown up and should be independent and brave the wind and waves with his friends.

What's the big deal about venturing into the sea accompanied by an adult?

Ever since he boarded the ship, Deuce and the others dared not speak loudly, and the usual happy and joking atmosphere on the ship was gone, and the atmosphere on the entire ship became extremely depressing.

Ace muttered softly:

"Which pirate group sets sail without having elders accompanying them on board? There is also a navy admiral in charge!"

Mo Xingchen slightly opened one eye, glanced at Ace, who was angry but dared not speak, and laughed softly:

"Haha, just treat me as an apprentice crew member on your ship."

"Have you ever seen an apprentice crew member from a pirate group lying down like a big shot and letting the captain serve you tea and water?"

Ace also rolled his eyes and mocked mercilessly.

...

...

When this topic was brought up, Mo Xingchen seemed to remember something interesting.

He sat up straight from the beach chair, punched his palm, and muttered to himself:

"Hey, since I'm cosplaying as a pirate, should I also give myself a pirate code name?

Then call Robin and ask her to issue a bounty for me. How much should my bounty be then?"

Luo interrupted Mo Xingchen's YY seriously and said to him as if begging for mercy,

"My dear uncle, my old man is really not young anymore, please have mercy on me and stop scaring him.

Just let him serve as marshal for a few more years in peace, and when he retires, you can scare the next marshal."

After hearing Luo's kind words of advice, Mo Xingchen instantly collapsed like a salted fish that had lost hope in life, lying on the beach chair with his eyes closed.

He pouted and turned his body to the side, expressing his unhappiness.

Luo wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead, looked at Ace, and sighed in unison.

When will our elders grow up and become more sensible?

Mo Xingchen closed his eyes and said softly:

"Don't worry, Ace. I won't disturb your journey. You can make your own decisions. I won't interfere.

Tell your friends to just ignore me. Just live your life the same way you did before. Don’t worry that I will blame you.”

Ace looked at Mo Xingchen and answered doubtfully:

"Um...well...okay!"

"Don't make such a bitter face. I saw you fighting with Doflamingo's men before. Your Armament Haki is still a little short of awakening.

With me here, I can train your fruit ability and let your strength grow rapidly~"

Speaking of this, Ace was no longer sleepy. Nothing could be stronger than his own strength. He said excitedly:

"Uncle, what should I do now?"

...

...

Mo Xingchen lay on the beach chair without saying anything. Ace immediately walked up to Mo Xingchen's back, sensibly pinched his shoulders, and said coquettishly:

"My favorite uncle~~ the almighty Admiral of the Navy..."

"Stop! You've given me goosebumps. I thought you were born in the Year of the Dog. You looked unhappy just now, but now you look so unhappy. You don't have any strength at all. You're changing your face so fast."

"Hehehe~ It's all thanks to your good teaching, uncle!"

Mo Xingchen's mouth twitched, and he stopped teasing the two-faced Ace, and slowly said to Luo:

"Luo, put your other half of the handcuffs on Ace."

Hearing this, Luo looked gloating. He took out a half pair of handcuffs from the pocket of his coat of justice, walked to Ace, and with a "click", put them on Ace's wrists.

Ace, who was originally full of curiosity, fell to the deck like a dead dog.

Seeing Ace suddenly fall to the ground, the members on the ship subconsciously drew their weapons and rushed over.

But they suddenly realized that this was their captain's uncle, not a navy man who came to arrest them, so they quickly put away their weapons, laughed it off awkwardly, and returned to their jobs.

But his eyes would look over here from time to time, wanting to see what was going on. Why did Ace, who was usually full of energy, suddenly become so listless?

"Uncle...what...is this...huh? I...have no strength...and I'm out of breath."

“You should know that after a Devil Fruit user goes into the sea, he loses his ability to move.

This is called seastone. I’m too lazy to understand what the principle is. Just think of it as solid seawater.

From now on, you will carry it with you. When you can move normally, I think your armament color will be awakened.

Of course, starting from tomorrow, I will let Luo train your physique."

...

...

When Luo heard this, his usually cold face also showed a charming smile.

It's true that he doesn't want to fight with others, he thinks it's troublesome.

But if it comes to beating someone up unilaterally, he's happy to do it.

Especially when you beat up your own fighting-mad friend, it feels so refreshing!

"Hehehe~ Ace, I'll be gentle."

At this time, Ace, after the futile discomfort just now, now has a little relief from the feeling of weakness.

He struggled to get up, sat cross-legged on the deck, and said to his uncle with an indignant look:

"Uncle, that's not fair, you have to let Luo wear this too!"

Before Mo Xingchen could speak, Luo opened his sleeves, revealing the seastone handcuffs on his left wrist, and shook them in front of Ace.

"Why do you think this pair of handcuffs is only half a piece? Hehe, I wanted to beat you more gently, but it seems that our friendship is just like plastic, so it's not worth me to hold back!"

Ace was stunned, his mouth opened wide. He knew that Law was a fruit ability user, but after these few days, he didn't expect that Law could wear seastone handcuffs and still move like a normal person.

He raised his head and said to Luo sincerely:

"Well...I actually want Uncle to stop caring about me. I want my good friend to improve as well. Luo! Can you believe me?"

"hehe!"
