Set sail, bastards!

Nami, Vivi, and I slept comfortably in the tent due to Sanji's "ladies are supreme" principle.

"Oh! There are shrimps!" I was awakened by an exclamation while I was still in my sleep, and the joyful sound of making a fuss was undoubtedly made by Luffy.

I rubbed my sleepy eyes, and saw Luffy holding a purple scorpion dancing and trying to swallow it.

"Luffy, do you want to eat a scorpion?" I stretched out to cover the mild morning sun.

"Huh? Scorpion?" Usopp, who was fighting for food with Luffy, looked at me stiffly for a moment.

"Yes, scorpions are very poisonous, so I heard that to eat scorpions, you have to pull out the thorns at the end of the tail. It's better to cut off the tail or something..." I thought about it, even if I don't know how to cook, as a qualified Foodies, you should know a thing or two about how to eat all kinds of food.

Now even Luffy stiffened together, without moving the hand holding the scorpion.

"Hey..." I approached them with a sinister smile, and the shadow on my face became heavier: "Otherwise..."

Before I finished speaking, Luffy hurriedly stuffed the scorpion into Usopp's hand: "Ahaha... Then Usopp, let me eat it for you!"

"Don't do this, hey! People will die!" Usopp was so scared that he hid back.

"Pfft—" There was a chuckle from behind.I turned around subconsciously, and found that Ace, who was sleeping on the edge of the rock, was watching such a live version of the farce with his arms crossed.

The sun is rising day by day, and the warm sunlight spreads on the endless golden desert.Weiwei and Nami also woke up one after another, and after breakfast they were ready to continue to Yuba.

"Ace~" I shook the empty jug, jumped to Ace's side, and stared straight at the full jug of water on his waist.

Ace simply responded, "Huh?"

"It feels like you didn't drink much water along the way..." On his waist... the basically untouched pot of water is undoubtedly a huge temptation for those who drink a bucket of water in one gulp.

Ace looked at the kettle subconsciously, and then raised a handsome smile: "Ah, this heat is nothing to me, you can drink it if you want." After finishing speaking, he took off the kettle and handed it to me .

"Really!" I jumped up happily, completely without the tired look just now.I couldn't help but say something in my heart, "Ni Jiang is really gentle and considerate, why would I like that incomprehensible green algae head!"

Thinking of this, I wiped the water stains on the corner of my mouth angrily: "Ace... you can stay on the Luffy ship." I still hope that something will happen to you two... Hehehehe.

"No, I'm here to look for someone, but it looks like he's not here..." He lowered his hat, the dazzling sunlight portrayed his angular side face, and his tough eyebrows revealed a faint murderous aura.

Hey mother...does he know that a serious man is the most tempting~

"It's Blackbeard." Besides that bastard, who else could make Ace take so much trouble to arrest him.

Ace was obviously taken aback when he heard the name: "You know?"

"Well... that's right." I scratched the back of my head, it seems that I want to get rid of the bad habit of liking to talk quickly, otherwise, do I really need to explain that I came through time...

Seeing that I was ambiguous on purpose, Ace didn't force it: "We must kill that bastard."

The whistling warm wind blew by, and the restless heart was also calmed down by Ace's flat tone.

But Tofu, who was walking in front, was not so calm, walking step by step with difficulty on a branch, and kept shouting: "It's so hot, so hungry... Sanji, let's eat bento! Thieves Bento!"

"No." Sanji rebuffed straight away, "You can only eat it if Vivi-chan says you can eat it."

Lu Fei pursed his mouth and ran to beg Weiwei: "Weiwei, when can I eat bento, bento?"

"At least..." Weiwei thought for a while in embarrassment: "At least get the next rocky place..."

"Okay! Head towards the rocky land!" For food, Luffy resurrected with full blood on the spot!

"Wait!" Usopp on the side adjusted the footprint goggles on his head, raising his voice: "Ahead... there is a rocky place not far ahead!"

Huh?I stared blankly at Ace.Is this guy Luffy blessed by the gods? He can do whatever he wants.

"Yoshi! Let's punch! Whoever wins will carry all the luggage!"

Looking at Luffy's excited look, it seems like he can't wait to start eating... But why is Win carrying the luggage, bastard!I clutched my backpack tightly, and grabbed Ace beside me: "You don't believe that guy can keep the luggage safe."

Ace smiled understandingly: "I understand."

"Ace, Xiaoyin, let's play the boxing game together!" Seeing that we were both motionless, Lu Fei raised his hand to signal us to join in.

"No, forget it." Ace and I waved our hands tacitly.

According to the laws of nature, Luffy, who won the boxing game, ran out quickly, and then all the luggage was successfully taken away by the bird.

Ace and I, who were at the end of the line, gloated while watching Nami and the others beat up Luffy's head.Hey mother, it's a good thing I didn't hand over my luggage to that single-celled creature~ Otherwise, I would probably just die of thirst in the desert now.

By the way, doesn't this mean that Sauron-sama's luggage is gone... Hehehehe... I sneaked close to Sauron with a sly smile.

"Is Sauron sama thirsty? Otherwise, I'll feed you~" Before Sauron could speak, I flew over.

Zoro effortlessly put one finger on my forehead, stopping my pounce.

"You also give me a little more!" Probably because of the weather, Sauron also became irritable.

Sanji suddenly twisted to my side, with classic heart shapes in his eyes: "I don't mind if Xiao Yin-chan feeds me~"

"Pfft!" I was so scared that the water sprayed all over the floor.And the water stains that dripped on the sand were instantly evaporated by the roasted hot sand into a small wisp of white smoke and dispersed.

……

After finally reaching the rocky place, the food and the like were taken away by the birds...

I sat slumped on a slightly shady rock and waited for Luffy to recover the luggage that the bird had stolen.

"Such a captain is really nerve-wracking..." I rubbed my forehead.

Ace also sat casually next to me, watching the direction of Luffy's departure and evoked a smile: "It's still the same after all these years."

Without Luffy's tricks, everyone is quietly recuperating physically and mentally, so that they can have sufficient physical strength for the next journey.

"Boom—" A burst of sand and dust rose from the edge of the desert in the distance, and the riotous dust was approaching us at an alarming speed!

Luffy's unique loud voice was mixed in the dust: "Hey! Everyone——!"

The roar was getting closer and closer, and the ground seemed to shake.Because it was covered by flying sand and dust, it was completely unclear what kind of giant it was.

"Luffy seems to be riding... a camel? But what's that thing behind him!!" Usopp adjusted the blocking mirror and opened his mouth in surprise.

The figure of the huge monster gradually became clear, and a purple-red lizard with shark teeth spread quickly chased after Luffy.

Zoro pulled out his sword and Sanji looked at each other, and rushed out together tacitly.

"Oh, Zoro Sanji, you came just in time! I brought back meat!" Luffy put his hands on the camel's neck and smiled.

"Rubber rubber-shoulder whip!"

"whirlwind!"

"First meat kick!"

The three of them launched an attack together like that big lizard...Of course, the big lizard was killed on the spot...

"Huh?!" Weiwei burst into tears in surprise.

"When the three of them make a move, even the monster makes people feel sympathetic..." Nami patted Weiwei on the shoulder, crying together.

Before everyone could recover, a loud noise erupted from the bottom of the rock.As if a huge hole had been opened, a large lizard similar to the one that just fell came out of the ground!

Weiwei was so frightened that her face turned pale: "I forgot to say that the desert lizards form a team of two!"

"This kind of thing should be said earlier!" Everyone complained.

"Hey! Ace! Go away!" I grabbed Ace who was closest to the monster and prepared to flee.It's terrifying to see such a huge monster lying in front of it. Its saliva is dark purple. Could it be poisonous?

"It's okay." Ace turned his head and looked at me, with a confident smile on his face.I admit I was electrocuted again...

Seeing that Ace didn't dodge, the big lizard opened its bloody mouth and ate it directly...

And in the next second, a flame burst from the lizard's mouth, but within half a second, the flames that spread all over its body burned it red and fell to the ground.

Ace jumped out of the lizard's mouth holding the hat, and one hand gradually returned from the state of flame to the usual wide palm.

"Cutting, you will be handsome." I pulled out the knife and cut off the flesh of the lizard, put some condiments on it, and gnawed on it.Unexpectedly, lizard meat is quite delicious.After being grilled by Ace, the taste is even better than ordinary barbecue.It seems that besides being a heater, Ace is also suitable for a barbecue~

When he just finished eating a piece of meat and wanted to take another piece, he suddenly discovered that Luffy had already gnawed the two large lizards at the speed of light until only the bones remained...

"Luffy..." I clenched my fists and grabbed the collar of Luffy, whose belly was bulging like a ball, and the shadow on my face became heavier: "Do you know what you did..."

"Sorry, ahaha~" Luffy scratched the back of his head and spat out an insincere apology.

"Apologizing is useless! Damn I want to eat meat!!" With blood on my face, I grabbed Lu Fei and shook him desperately: "Spit it out, bastard!"

"It's okay~ Xiaoyin-chan, let's eat this—a special grilled lizard for ladies~" Sanji turned to me in good time, holding a plate of brightly colored lizard meat.

Seeing the meat, I immediately let go of Luffy and took the plate: "Sanji-kun~ thank you!"

"No thanks~" Then Sanji took Luffy aside and taught him a lesson...

It was almost evening when we set off again, and the sun was not as dazzling as before.The bright red sunset soaked the blue sky, and even the light that shone on people was gentle.

Ace, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped and moved forward, turned around and faced Luffy: "Luffy, I'm leaving. I heard before that Blackbeard is not in Alabasta, and I have no reason Stay here again. This piece of paper can lead us to meet again." After speaking, he took out a clean white piece of paper from his pocket and threw it to Luffy.

"A blank piece of paper?" Lu Fei and his gang flipped through the paper several times but didn't see anything.

Ace didn't answer him: "Don't you want it?"

"No, I want it." Hearing this, Lu Fei immediately folded up the little note and put it away.

"Hey, Ace..." The plot of Ace being arrested because of Blackbeard in the comics played out in my mind again and again, maybe... this is the last time we meet?

"Huh? What's wrong with Xiaoyin?" Even when parting, Ace still had a confident smile on his lips.

No matter how wordy I am, he will definitely go to find Blackbeard... If it were me, I would definitely not be able to forgive that bastard.

"It's nothing...you take care...goodbye." The words came to my mouth and I swallowed them abruptly. How can I say that kind of words.

Ace raised his hat slightly with one finger: "Luffy, next time we meet, I hope to be at the highest peak of pirates. Then, goodbye."

The setting sun was as dazzling as blood, and the faint red clouds shrouded his receding back. I only felt that my nose was sour and a bit depressed.

Ace, you're not going to die.Right?
