[One Piece] Brother Ace, please pay the bill

The murloc sat in the bar for a while, and after drinking two glasses of wine, he slowly walked out the door.

Seeing this, Mandala hurriedly followed.She walked unhurriedly behind the murloc, planning her next move.

If it only committed the crime alone, Mandala still has the confidence to defeat it.All pirates with rewards, Mandala has an impression.This murloc has no memory at all, which means it is just a miscellaneous fish.But remembering the loss he suffered from Blackbeard, Mandala decided to be more cautious.

But if the murloc is just one of them, things will be more troublesome.Maybe she really had to seek Whitebeard's help.

The murloc did not walk into a dark alley as Mandala imagined, but directly entered a magnificently decorated hotel.

Looking at the gold-plated signboard, Mandala was a little strange. Could it be that what she met was really a local fish?

People who enter and exit this hotel seem to be dressed in very individual, glamorous, and naturally integrated with the decoration of the hotel.

Mandala looked down at the rough cloak he was wearing, quickly tore it off, and threw it aside casually.He tightened the hem of his white shirt, and rolled up the hem of his denim shorts.After loosening her hair and pulling up her boots, Mandala stepped up the steps made of white jade.

There are quite a few people in the hall, mermaids and murlocs.Mandala's entry didn't cause much impact, but a few male humans still whistled at her.

Ignoring the physically disgusting molestation, Mandala carefully searched for the murloc.Soon, she saw that gray-blue head like a mallet.

It sits in a high-backed sofa, facing the Mandala.And opposite to it, there seemed to be someone sitting.

Mandala walked over slowly and sat down on a sofa next to her.She grabbed a magazine on the side and watched the murloc out of the corner of her eye.

"Phone bug." The murloc took out the siren's phone bug and placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

"Yeah." The phone bug was picked up by the person on the sofa and put away.

Only a woman's voice could be heard, and Mandala couldn't gather any information.

"About the human-shaped beads, you..." the murloc continued, but was stopped by the man on the sofa who raised his hand.

Looking left and right, the murloc stood up, and leaned against the man with its head down, whispering.

Mandala couldn't hear what they were talking about at all, but since the human-shaped beads and the siren's phone bug were mentioned, she couldn't calm down a little.

The humanoid monster on Nereus woke up again, and Mandala couldn't control the panic and anger in his heart.But in this kind of place where people come and go, there must be its accomplices.If you really want to fight, the only one who suffers is yourself.As a last resort, Mandala hugged Nereus in her arms and rushed out of the hotel lobby.

But within two steps, Mandala was blocked by a group of people.Looking up, it was the human who was whistling at him in the hotel just now.

"Get out of the way!" Mandala was in a bad mood at the moment, and she observed the five men with what little reason she had.They are all newcomers, and the rewards range from 1000 million to 8000 million.In the subsequent plots of the comics, they don't have a part in the show, so they shouldn't be some tricky guys.

The nearby big murlocs and mermaids suddenly disappeared. They were not interested in the grievances between humans, nor did they want to obstruct them.And the remaining few humans hid far away, afraid of being implicated.This is a new world, and no one can tell that there will be some perverted characters who will raze this place to the ground.

"She looks so pretty, but she has such a hot temper. Boss, are you sure you want to catch her on board as the captain's wife?" one of the miscellaneous fishes said.

"If you don't have a bad temper, you won't feel a sense of accomplishment if you suppress it!" The guy called the boss pulled out a scimitar from his waist. He stuck out his long tongue and licked the bright white blade.

"Yeah, just like those two little girls before, it's really boring to be defeated so quickly." Another miscellaneous fish also echoed.

"What little girl?" Mandala raised her eyes, staring at the man in the lead.He had been restraining his anger all the time, but the human-headed monster on the hilt of Nereus' sword had come to life completely, and the long golden neck was constantly elongating, wrapping around Mandala's entire right arm.

"What the hell is that?" The leading man was taken aback by the human-headed monster, but thinking that this was a new world, there were so many things he hadn't seen before, and he soon returned to normal.

"Let me ask you, what happened to those two little girls?" Mandala gritted her teeth and said every word.The head monster on her arm suddenly split a second head, twisted its neck, and continued to wrap around Mandala's arm repeatedly.

"Monster!" One of them yelled out, his bounty was the lowest, and he didn't have the ability of devil fruit.

"Sparkling fruit, thunder and lightning!" The leading man suddenly raised his hand, raised his index finger, and pointed to the zenith.

Mandala only felt that the man's movements seemed to be slowed down dozens of times, and she could clearly see the strength gathered on his fingertips.

Before he had time to think about why his observation skills were so against the heavens, Mandala swung his sword and slashed at the man's arm.

"Physical attacks are useless against our boss, he is a shining fruit..."

The man's hand turned into a white light and disappeared before his subordinates could finish their words of support.

"What happened?" Everyone present stared dumbfounded at the man with the broken arm, and the mandala holding Nereus to his throat.

"Let me ask you again, what happened to those two girls?" Mandala felt that winning this battle was a bit too easy. Could it be that the horrors of the new world are all urban legends bragging for newcomers?How can any miscellaneous fish come in casually?

"It's nothing, big sister!" the man wailed, lying on the ground hugging his broken arm, not daring to move, "After we had a fight, they left on their own."

"You just let them go after you beat them, do you think I'm an idiot?" Mandala's voice raised a little, and her sword tip also pierced a little bit along with it.

"Actually, we didn't win." A miscellaneous fish was about to cry in fright, and he quickly confessed, "It was the five of us who lost, not those two little girls. Later, they didn't throw us into the sea to feed the shells, Just let us leave the new world and go back to the first half of the great voyage."

"Then what about the murloc before?" Mandala still didn't believe it. Although these five people were weak, there was no guarantee that they wouldn't use dirty tricks.

"Murloc, what murloc?" The faces of the five people were all confused, and it didn't seem like they were pretending.

"It's that shark murloc with a mallet head!" Mandala couldn't judge whether it was true or not, so he continued to threaten them with Nereus.

The point of the sword was pointed at the leading man, while the two head monsters stared at the men with the second and third highest bounties.

"We really don't know!" The five people were about to cry. They watched helplessly as the human-headed monster on the hilt of Nereus' sword split again and became four.

"Information-colored domineering and armed-colored domineering!" One of the men shouted out, his voice was full of fear, and the tone trembled out of shape in the end.

"Domineering?" Mandala frowned, suddenly thinking about what happened just now.

================================================== ===========================

"Father, what do you want from me?" Ace walked into Whitebeard's room, and the strong smell of medicine made him a little uncomfortable.Rubbing his nose, he walked to White Beard's bed.

"Help me open the curtains, kid." With his eyes closed, Whitebeard raised his hand and pointed to the east window.

Ace went to the window again, he drew the curtains and opened the window.The smell of the ocean rushed over, and the smell of medicine in the room also eased a lot.

"I heard that you let Mandala get off the boat?" Whitebeard slowly opened his eyes, looking at the blue sea outside the window.

"Yes." Ace didn't explain too much, he didn't even understand the chaotic emotions in his heart.

"She's also your team member. You let her get off the boat, of course you have your reasons. It's just..." Whitebeard turned his eyes and looked at the purple tattoo on Ace's back.

Ace turned around, and he looked at the white beard on the hospital bed, feeling a little strange.On weekdays, my father would not show such a hesitant expression. Even if he is tortured by illness, he is a courageous person.

"Although she is not considered an official member, she has stayed on the Moby Dick for such a long time after all. Although the old man's pirate group is well-known, there are also many enemies." Whitebeard closed his eyes again , he seemed to be listening to the faint sound of falling water, "It is inevitable that no one will transfer this hatred to her."

"Father, do you want me to bring Mandala back?" Ace was a little delighted. Since Mandala left, he has been restless, always thinking that if she leaves him, he will be caught by this dangerous world. to swallow.Now that White Beard spoke like this, he only felt that the thought in his heart became clearer.

"No, it's not." Whitebeard sighed in a rare way, "Let her suffer some hardships, after all, I can't..."

"Father, this is a new world. Mandala's strength is still too weak. If you just let her outside like this, in case something happens!" Ace didn't expect Whitebeard to say that. He bent down and thought We must continue to fight for it.

But Whitebeard didn't answer Ace, he closed his eyes tightly, and seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

"Father?" Ace tried to shout again, and after confirming that White Beard had fallen asleep, he had no choice but to back out.
