[Comprehensive] Fire Boxer's Little Chef

"Yo, Ace is finally back."

"Finally back, I thought you were abducted by a woman outside."

"Hey, don't be kidding, who on the whole boat doesn't know how Ace is still a "child" and how could he be tricked by a woman outside."

"Hahaha……"

Wayne followed Ace unhurriedly, listening to the unscrupulous conversations from all directions.

It's so noisy, and the voice is so loud, and everyone looks so tall and strong. Is this the image of all pirates?

From the corner of his eye, he silently looked around at the laughing tall and strong crowd. On the surface, Wayne remained calm. He had never said anything since he stepped on the deck of the Moby Dick. In a word.

In any case, the people standing on this ship are all well-known and powerful figures in the sea. Needless to say, their own strength, even the aura of the strong formed around them is not something ordinary people can bear.

"I said who is that child? It looks very unfamiliar."

"Yeah, people who haven't seen it on the ship."

"Is it the new crew brought back by Ace?"

At some point, the topic turned to him, feeling the probing eyes from all directions, even the calm and calm Wayne, when faced with such a group of powerful strangers, also I couldn't help but feel a little strenuous, and I was about to break out in a cold sweat.

Ace seemed to be aware of Wayne's embarrassment, and his steps slowed down a lot. He consciously or unconsciously shortened the distance between him and Wayne, and finally walked side by side with Wayne.

It has to be said that this move by Ace has reduced Wayne's psychological pressure a lot.

He raised his head and cast a grateful look at Ace, who was standing beside him, and got a bright smile from the other side.

"So, is this your partner you were talking about?"

Ace walked side by side with Wayne, invisibly blocking a lot of probing eyes, and greeted the people around him familiarly, and Ace led Wayne to continue walking forward.

Just when Wayne was wondering where Ace was going to take him, a lazy voice suddenly came in, with no ups and downs, and it sounded like he didn't have much energy.

Wayne raised his head, and a man with a peculiar hairstyle like a pineapple leaf was lazily leaning against the mast, a pair of lifeless dead fish eyes casually glanced at Wayne, and then turned his gaze to Ace.

"You guessed it right, Marco, this is my partner, Wayne, how about it, it's amazing."

Ace put his right hand on Wayne's shoulder very naturally, and his tone sounded smug, as if he was showing off to Marco.

Wayne turned his head and glanced at the paw on his shoulder. After thinking for a while, he let the paw stay on his shoulder and did not pat it off.

Ace helped him out just now anyway, so it doesn't hurt to let him make a fuss at this time.

Besides, the movement of putting his hand on his shoulder is not very annoying.

"What are you so proud of, kid? It's not like you've got a girlfriend, so what's wrong with you?"

Marco's voice still sounded the same kind of lackluster, coupled with his listless dead fish eyes, he looked even more lazy.

Facing the inexplicable complacency in Ace's tone, Marco glanced at him indifferently with those lifeless dead fish eyes, as if saying that you are a child, so childish.

"Female, girlfriend or something, of course it's not as good as a partner."

Ace, who was choked by the words "girlfriend" that Marco said, suddenly became a little flustered. His right hand, which was only on Wayne's shoulder, suddenly changed his movements, and wrapped his arms around Wayne. neck, looking straight at Marco with a pair of good brothers.

Of course, the premise is to ignore the suspicious flush on Ace's face and the slightly uncomfortable dodge in his eyes.

"I'm just talking casually, why are you so excited?"

Glancing suspiciously at Ace, who looked a little abnormal, Marco shook his head, the yellow pineapple leaves on his head were shaking with his movements, and then pointed his right hand behind him.

"Dad is waiting for you there, hurry up."

Ace looked towards where Marco was pointing, and his expression, which was a little uncomfortable, suddenly became a little serious, which seemed to have some respect.

It seems that Ace really respects Whitebeard from the bottom of his heart.

Wayne, who had been silent all this time, inadvertently caught a glimpse of the change in Ace's expression, thinking silently in his heart.

"By the way, Marco, this is a gift from me."

Ace suddenly showed an incomparably bright smile at Marco. No matter how you looked at that smile, he felt malicious. Hearing Ace's cheerful tone, Marco suddenly had a bad feeling and stepped back vigilantly. One step, just when he was about to reject the gift that Ace said, a black object rushed towards his face.

"Meow."

"..."

Marco got goosebumps all over his body from this sudden meow.

"Hahaha, I knew that birds are most afraid of cats."

Ace patted the remaining black cat fur on his hands, and looked at Marco who was entangled with the little black cat of Wayne's family, and suddenly felt in a good mood.

"Kuro's temper is not very good. If you just throw it out like this, I don't care about the consequences."

He patted the paws around his shoulders in two or three, and Wayne rubbed his aching shoulders from Ace, glanced lightly at Ace who threw Clow out with his own hands, and said indifferently.

"..."

Facing Wayne's extremely calm eyes, Ace suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Father, I'm back."

"Well, Marco told me, what happened to your face?"

"..."

Ace fell silent for a rare moment. He turned his head and silently glanced at the little black cat obediently following Wayne's feet. The three bloodstains on his face looked particularly obvious.

Kuro seemed to have sensed Ace's gaze, and raised his head to stare at Ace, his emerald cat eyes were full of contempt.

"..."

"Is this the partner you mentioned?"

A thick and resonant voice came from the top of his head, even if the tone was not so harsh, it still carried a majesty that cannot be ignored. Just as he was speaking, a suffocating strong sense of oppression suddenly hit his forehead from top to bottom, Wayne standing underneath was like a drowning fish, and it was very difficult for him to breathe normally.

It was so uncomfortable, as if someone had pinched the airway and was about to suffocate.

Wayne was holding on to the hem of the white shirt, and the excessive force caused many veins to appear on the back of his hand, and the cold sweat on his forehead dripped out. Under this huge sense of oppression, Wayne felt that he was about to faint.

"Father, Wayne is just an ordinary person, he can't bear your domineering, please stop releasing your domineering."

Aware of Wayne's strangeness, Ace looked anxiously at the tall man sitting on the top, with deep worry in his tone.

"Huh? I didn't hear you say that your partner is such an ordinary person with no power to restrain the chicken."

Whitebeard's tone sounded a bit dissatisfied, he casually glanced at the pale-faced Wayne, and then turned his gaze back to Ace who was standing beside Wayne, his eyes were slightly sharp.

"The Whitebeard Pirates don't need someone so weak."

His voice was still loud, and much harsher than before, but fortunately, the deadly sense of oppression that could kill people finally disappeared.

Wayne couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

"So, Dad, you misunderstood. Wayne is just my partner, and he doesn't want to be a crew member of the Whitebeard Pirates."

Protecting the pale Wayne behind him, Ace looked straight at the white beard sitting at the highest position solemnly, and explained to him seriously.

"I don't worry about letting a small character with no power to become your partner, Ace, as a pirate, you should know that people without strength can't live in this sea area."

Whitebeard's voice sounded sonorous and powerful, full of energy, and he couldn't tell that it was the voice that an ancient and rare old man should have.

"You don't have to worry about this. Since Wayne has become my partner, I am naturally obliged to protect him."

With his back to Wayne, Ace straightened his back, looked up at the white beard sitting at the top seriously, and said so.

"..."

Wayne, who was guarded by Ace, didn't say a word. He had just recovered from the arrogance released by Whitebeard, and he still hadn't fully regained the rhythm of his breathing.

Looking up silently at Ace standing in front of him, staring at the tattoo of the Whitebeard Pirates logo on his bare back, Wayne was suddenly stunned for a moment.

This is the first time he's stood behind Ace like this and stared at the tattoo on his back.

It seems that there is no time when there is danger, Ace will always stand in front of him, with his back turned to him.

[With me here, you won't be in any danger. 】

Wayne suddenly remembered the words that the young man who turned his back to him suddenly turned around and said to him on Mount Kururu.

The raging flames that were burning that day reflected the bright smiling face of the young man, which was extraordinarily hot and warm.

Usually he looks unreliable, he only knows how to eat all day long, and never pays, he is self-willed and arrogant, even becoming a partner is just a whim.

He is obviously just a guy with a lot of shortcomings, but he can always stand up and stand in front of him at critical moments.

I always feel that there is an inexplicable sense of peace of mind...

"Well, I'm sorry, just like Ace said, I have no idea of ​​joining the Whitebeard Pirates."

Wayne walked around from behind Ace and stood next to him, trying to adapt himself to the sense of oppression that made him dizzy, as if making up his mind, he lowered his head and spoke slowly.

"In addition, you said that I have no strength to restrain a chicken. Although I don't even have the strength to kill a chicken, but as you said, I really don't have any force value. In this sea area, I may indeed Can't survive."

"Hey, Wayne..."

Unexpectedly, Wayne would say this, Ace hastily interrupted Wayne's words.

"Oh, it seems that although your strength is very weak, you still have self-knowledge."

Glancing at Ace with his eyes, signaling him not to interrupt Wayne, Whitebeard turned his gaze to Wayne who was standing next to Ace, with a majesty and oppression that could not be ignored in his tone.

"but……"

Wayne raised his head and looked directly at the overly tall man sitting on the highest seat in front of him.

"Just like what Ace said, he and I are partners, and this will never change."

The moderate voice could reach the ears of the man sitting in the highest position. The tension in the tone was obvious, but the ups and downs of the tone were as calm as ever.

It's like trying to keep calm.

"It's obvious that you're too scared, so don't pretend to be arrogant. I hate people who pretend like you the most!"

For no reason, Whitebeard's tone suddenly became more severe, as if he was angry. The arrogance that had been withdrawn suddenly swept over Wayne's body again, and compared with the last time, the aura was stronger and sharper. .

It was like a sudden violent storm, as if the sky was covering the fields, and under this heavy oppressive feeling, not to mention breathing, even the heartbeat almost stopped.

"Hey, stop kidding, Dad is going crazy!"

"That boy Ace, what did you say to make Dad so angry!"

"Fuck, I don't want to be stunned by my father's arrogance!"

"Who is going to persuade the old man! Marco, go and persuade the old man, if this continues, the whole ship will be fainted by the old man's arrogance."

"Don't come to me for such troublesome things. Besides, I can't stop my father now."

For some reason, the man with the pineapple head and dead fish eyes with three strange bloodstains on his face said lazily in his usual voice without ups and downs, but those dead fish eyes were looking at where Ace and Wayne were. direction.

"Father, don't release your arrogance anymore. If this continues, the brothers on the boat will also be stunned by your arrogance."

Ace supported Wayne, who was about to faint on the ground, and looked up anxiously at the heavy white beard sitting on the top.

"I'm not arrogant, I just believe in Ace and will protect me..."

Suppressing the strong sense of dizziness and nausea in his head, Wayne slowly stood up from Ace's arms, and squeezed out these words with difficulty, his voice was intermittent, and he sounded very weak.

In an instant, the huge oppressive feeling that spread all over the sky, like sea water with low tide, suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"You bastard, Wayne, suddenly said such words, I was almost moved by you."

After Wayne finished speaking, there was a weird silence for several seconds. Ace, who was the first to react, threw himself on Wayne like a gust of wind, and the expression on his face changed from being stunned at first to With a moved look, he almost stared at Wayne with teary eyes.

Wayne, who hadn't had time to escape, accepted Ace's firm bear hug abruptly. Ace seemed to be in a state of excitement and didn't notice the strength of his hands. Wayne was strangled by him like this. Some raw pain.

However, the other party was too strong, and he couldn't break free even if he tried to break free. Moreover, this guy seemed to get agitated easily, and he couldn't even hear what he said.For the sake of his own safety, Wayne calmly looked at the little black cat lying at his feet, and gave it a command with a blank expression.

"Craw, make him sober."

The little black cat got up from the ground lazily and slowly after receiving instructions from its owner. Its body was a little stiff due to too much sleep, and it gracefully walked to Ace's side, and jumped up lightly, revealing its sharp and sharp eyes Claw, waved forward fiercely.

"Ow."

Ace suddenly let out a cry of pain, and the arm that was originally wrapped around Wayne reflexively covered his bare back, where there were already three obvious bloodstains at this time.

Rubbing his upper body that was aching from being strangled, Wayne looked at Ace who was clutching the blood on his back and screaming for pain, directly ignoring the sad look in the other's eyes, and walked unhurriedly to the little black cat Clow He squatted down beside him, and gently touched the other's little furry head.

The little black cat rubbed its head against Wayne's palm obediently, and seemed to be enjoying itself, completely unable to see the "fierce" appearance of scratching Ace before.

"Gu la la la la, boy, it's very good. You are so weak, but you dare to talk to me like this. I agree! I agree with your relationship with Ace. Marco, get ready and have a banquet later, Lao Tzu It's been a long time since I saw such a kind person!"

White Beard's resonant laughter exploded above his head, his original angry appearance was replaced by a laughing expression, the white beard bent into a crescent moon trembled with his unrestrained laughter, very bold.

"..."

Wayne, who was confused by Whitebeard's obviously inconsistent attitude, looked at Ace beside him with a puzzled expression, and then he found that the other party was looking at him with the same expression.

Both of them looked at each other in blank dismay, puzzled.

Should he really be worthy of being the strongest man in the world? Even in terms of character, he can be called the strongest in the world.
