If I don't change my career, I will be forced to become the Fourth Emperor

How about going for a drink together?

"Can't you conjure clothes?"

"I put it on! But the effect of my illusion on myself is discounted, and I'm more afraid of the cold... There's nothing I can do about it!"

"It looks like this... Shall I take off my coat and let you hug it directly? It will be warmer."

"...You didn't do it on purpose, did you? You really didn't do it on purpose, did you?"

"Hiss—don't strangle my neck."

After we arrived at the Drum Kingdom, we were told that we were late... Blackbeard and his party had already made a fuss and left.

When Ace was eating and drinking in the restaurant, I went out wearing a scarf and hat wrapped up like a penguin, and asked the residents nearby for some details of Blackbeard's attack, as well as some characteristics of this place.

I originally wanted to buy some special products to send to my dad as a souvenir... But there is nothing in this place.

Something special is a monster with a blue nose.After listening to the description, I feel that it should not be some kind of natural monster, but a mutated normal animal... Either it is a human experiment or a devil fruit, right?

Although listening to this description... I feel that this may be the one who ate the tough guy fruit... Damn, a devil fruit can only have one person with the ability, should I change it for Jotaro?But obviously this is the most suitable for him...

I walked back with a serious face, intending to go back to the restaurant to find Ace, but I saw Ace rushing out with a panicked face, and didn't say hello when he saw me, he just grabbed my waist and led me away.

I was still a little confused: "Hey? What's the matter? What happened to you again?"

"I'll explain this later, anyway, run first—" Before Ace finished speaking, the person chasing after him shouted: "Wait a minute—! Don't run—you eat a king's meal—! "

"...Portgas D. Ace! You're doing it again!"

After getting rid of the pursuer, Ace let me go, showing a happy expression: "It's so dangerous——"

"Before talking about danger, you should first think about how to keep yourself from being in a dangerous situation!"

"What are you talking about, Chisaki." Ace showed an open-minded expression, as if saying that I didn't understand, "Isn't it normal for a pirate to encounter danger?"

"You just didn't count that! That's the trouble you asked for!" After I finished yelling, I decided to give up communicating with him on this issue, and took a deep breath to calm down, "Speaking of... you didn't mean to find your brother whereabouts?"

"Well, I've left his arrest warrant and told someone that I'll be waiting for him in Alabasta for ten days."

"Is this kind of rumor reliable... But there is no way, your brother didn't carry a phone bug with him. You don't know the number of the phone bug on his boat..." I said, and took out a small phone bug. The little phone bug came, "Like me, not only did I bring a phone bug for communication, but I also brought a camera phone bug!"

This is what I think is so amazing about this world.The phone bug seems to be a natural growth rather than man-made. There are different types of phone bugs that can take pictures, make calls, video, and show functions!

Although I don't know the principle, and I don't know why it's not called a phone snail, but it's fun and it's over!

Ace was a little confused by my actions: "Why did you take out the camera phone bug?"

"Because there are no special products in this place... Our hometown has a custom of bringing local special products back to family members as gifts when we travel." I said, took a camera phone bug to test a picture, and turned back to call Ace, "Ace , come and shoot with me! I’m going to send it back as a present for Dad!”

As I said, I temporarily gave away my hat, scarf and bloated coat for the sake of taking better pictures, and then I sneezed because of the damn weather on Drum Island.

Seeing this, Ace leaned over and hugged me: "Is it still cold?"

"..." I pressed the camera phone bug in my hand.

I don't know what the photos look like after they are developed, but I always feel that there is something weird... Forget it, I am also in Ace anyway, Dad and the others should be relieved when they see the photos!Um!

We didn't stay long at Magnetic Drum Island, and left for Alabasta immediately after the recording pointer finished recording the magnetic field.

"Blackbeard is not alone now, he has a group of rabble as his companions, you have to be careful. Sometimes ants can bring down elephants, and the backstabbing of villains is the most difficult to guard against." I warned Ace Dao, with a solemn tone.

This type of world is relatively rare, but I have seen a lot of my original world.

"I see!" Ace responded quickly, and then said something else in the next sentence, "Speaking of... I feel a little hungry, can you change some food? No more rice balls."

"You didn't take what I said to heart at all! And didn't you just eat the overlord's meal!? Also, don't be picky eaters!"

Our next destination is Alabasta, where we plan to stay for ten days, because Ace has to wait for his brother Luffy.

I have no problem, it just so happens that Alabasta is a big enough kingdom with a long enough history to stay longer.I'm sure I'll find a handy souvenir!

It’s just that I read in the newspaper that this country is in a civil war, and it’s in chaos... Well, if we’re just staying in the city of Rapeseed Flowers, we should be fine, right?Ports are generally relatively safe because there are many foreigners and they are far away from the inland.

Although when I first arrived in Hong Kong, I was very disappointed... because I didn't see a large field of rapeseed flowers that I thought I would have.

The weather in Alabasta is so hot, I don't have to shiver like I was on Drum Island, on the contrary, I wear very little... because it's really hot!

But here is indeed a lot more lively, and I can still enjoy shopping.

"Hmm..." I picked up a bottle of perfume, and after listening to the boss's hype introduction, I fell into hesitation, "This... as a souvenir, it seems inappropriate..."

And it tastes so good!Forget it, buy some back and give it to Jing Zitu to keep it fresh.And the clothes I saw just now are so beautiful, I also want to buy some back!

If it is not necessary, I will not use illusion to solve my dressing problem.After all... the maintenance of illusion is also very tiring!You can't waste your ability on this kind of thing!

The past few days are a rare time to relax and have fun. I even specially edited the photos I took on Magnetic Drum Island before and sent them to my dad immediately.

Because I was afraid that there would be naval surveillance and inspections when I sent the letter. After all, as far as I know, there are naval stations and surveillance near the Four Emperors, so I didn’t write a letter to disclose any information, and just sent photos directly.

I went out to take photos for the next few days, and I also took Ace who didn't quite understand my excitement and approach.

Hey, this is the world generation gap.

How can you not take pictures when you go out to play!If you travel, you must leave evidence of your visit here!

Fortunately, even though Ace doesn't understand, he will cooperate with me in such trivial matters.

"Are you really going to send those to Dad?" Ace pointed at the photo I put, "Then why don't you send them all at once, and have to send one every day?"

"This is what you don't understand! Only by posting it every day proves that I miss Dad every day!" I said dissatisfied.

Young people really can't understand the state of mind of an empty-nest old man... Although there are many people on the old man's boat, it is not an empty nest at all.The nest may even be somewhat overloaded.

But people like Blackbeard belong to the species where doves occupy magpies' nests.

"I don't quite understand..."

"Just listen to me for the parts you don't understand!" I gave the definition simply and rudely, and then asked about something I cared about before but was repeatedly skipped because of being interrupted, "Speaking of...you and Monkey D Luffy is a brother, right? Even though they are both D, your surnames start with different names. You are Portgas, and he is Monkey... Ah, speaking of which, Roger, the dead Pirate King, is also D. You are still relatives hahaha...ha...uh..."

I swear, I was really just joking at first.

After all, people with a D in their surname are rare, and it just so happens that they are all pirates, and I am not out of my wits to say such things, after all, a pirate with ideals wants to become stronger and become a pirate. One Piece, it's not insulting to compare with Roger, right...

However, looking at the expression on Ace's face, I realized that this time, I seemed to have stepped on a thunderbolt.

Ace has a good temper in many situations, although he is a bit out of tune in some places... This is the first time I have seen such an expression on the other party's face.

I hate myself for being too smart at this time, for guessing a very terrible truth from the other party's expression.

If I'm a little stupid, I can just fool around here!Although I can pretend to be stupid now, but after all, I am a companion, and aside from other issues, the other party treats me pretty well...

I was silent for a while, feeling that I couldn't let the awkward atmosphere spread, I reached out and patted his shoulder, and said in a friendly tone, "How about going for a drink together? I'll treat you."

I remember in the TV series I watched when I was a child, if people have any troubles, they just go to the izakaya to have a drink and finish talking!Although the world is different here, some cultures can still be shared!

The author has something to say:

To tell a ghost story, among Xiaoqian and his group, Aqiang is the youngest.

PS: Don't worry, Ace won't die. After all, he is Xiaoqian CP. How can he die?That's right, I can be sure that Ace is the CP. This is the benefit of saving manuscripts. I can tell you in advance that the result is not afraid of capsizing! (thumbs up)
