[One Piece] Isano's Rebel

The bow shaped like a white whale broke through a wave of white waves and headed straight towards the pseudo-warship.

Across a wide sea, they saw the large-scale pirate ship that made the whole new world tremble—the Moby Dick from a distance.

The deck was full of cheering pirates.The skull flag of the Whitebeard Pirates was still flying wantonly under the strong sea wind.

"Ace is back—! Adelina is back! They brought Chichira back!!!"

A pirate with a binoculars shouted——

"Hey, who else is there? A handsome guy with black hair?"

"Idiot, that's 'Phantom Thief' Bradley! Didn't read the newspaper! When Ace and the others come back, I have to ask them how they hooked up with this mysterious figure!"

Hearing this, the crippled Bedi immediately grabbed the binoculars, "Let me take a look? It's really..."

His surprised voice was drowned out by laughter.

"Oh, Beddy, you see, you old pedant still claims to know everything, and you don't even know the 'Phantom Thief' Bradley? He became famous at a young age, and it is rumored that he took away an entire country from a group of pirates at a young age. Woolen cloth!"

The lame Beddy immediately raised his voice in disbelief, "What took away a country?! That was originally his..."

But everyone's attention was focused on the pseudo-warship that was getting closer and closer to them, and they ignored Bedi's words at all.

With a bang, an extremely powerful airflow hit the Moby Dick, and the entire ship was blown back a few steps by the airflow—only the white beard sitting on the spacious soft chair remained motionless, He raised his head and took a sip of the spirits, then laughed loudly.

"Qiqila, that stinking little brat—you've been caught by the Navy once, and you still don't know how to be honest!"

His burly and tall body was covered with several thin infusion tubes, but this did not shake Whitebeard's aura as a strong four emperors.

In front of this man who terrified the whole world, the tall and slender metal infusion stand that slightly restricted his movement looked frail, thin and pathetic.

The group of air currents swirled a few times on the deck in situ before turning into a human form.

The little boy called out his father, and made a gesture to jump on White Beard.However, with a strong palm wind, Qiqila flew a few meters away, and the airflow buffered circle after circle behind him, so that he didn't hit the wooden wall of the cabin.

Qiqila, who was floating in the air, scratched the back of her head and smiled, "Dad, it's been a long time since I've seen you."

"Come on brat, don't let me get tired of this crooked trick."

There were bursts of deep laughter in Whitebeard's chest—the distaste on his mouth, but the expression full of smiles had already revealed the man's happy mood at the moment.

"Cuddling and cuddling all day—our Qiqila is still a little boy who hasn't grown up..."

Someone from the second team laughed and joked, and the boat burst into laughter.

Qiqila expressed his dissatisfaction, he turned his head and pointed, and immediately shifted the focus of everyone in the audience to the blazing flame standing on the hull railing——

"Who hugs and hugs all day? You don't know that Ace and Dinah spend all his time—"

Halfway through the speech, the flame quickly returned to its human form.

Ace squatted firmly on the railing, with one hand resting casually on his knees, and the other clutching the orange cowboy hat on his head that was almost blown away by the strong sea wind.

This posture is still very chic and handsome - if one ignores the change in his expression from a dazed look to a flushed cheek.

The captain of the second division, whose skin is thicker than the corner of the city wall, would blush?Really long experience.

The crew members seemed to understand something in an instant, and in an instant, all teasing eyes were focused on Ace.

Even the usually calm and domineering white beard raised his eyebrows, faintly expressing curiosity about the half-sentence that Qiqila hadn't finished speaking.

Ace looked at his father, then at his companions, and couldn't say anything for a moment, but smiled silly on the spot.

It took him a long time to say something slowly, "Uh...she's still on that boat..."

As if finding prey, everyone quickly focused their firepower on Ace.

"Who asked you where Adelina is? What everyone cares about is when the second team was kidnapped by you bastard!"

"How can you say that about our captain? If we Ace dress up a bit, we'll still look handsome!"

"But Adelina's violent temper is really embarrassing for Ace!"

Marco, who has always been calm and calm, couldn't help but say: "Adelina is still staying with the 'Phantom Thief' on that ship? Ace, are you not afraid that she will run away with that handsome guy?"

"Marco, it's been a while since you've seen your skin itch, has it?"

A cold, faintly threatening voice came from the ladder between the two ships.

The heroine of the topic, Adeline, appeared in everyone's sight calmly and calmly, with her chin raised slightly, with an indifferent expression as if she would come over one by one to make a fool of herself.

Standing behind her was Bradley, dressed in a black windbreaker, looking around with those deep and sharp eyes, and then twitched the corners of his mouth.

It's really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

After recognizing many famous big pirates, Bradley's eyes fixed on a middle-aged man with thick hair, a burly physique and a rough appearance.The other party was chewing a piece of fruit pie, with a headband on his fluffy black hair, jewelry on his neck, wrists and fingers, a gun and a wine bottle on his waist, and a dark coat.He squinted his eyes lazily, and from time to time he participated in the harmonious teasing of everyone. At first glance, he was a loose, unoffensive uncle.

Bradley raised the corner of his mouth and looked away casually.

Still a restless guy.

He turned to look at the white beard, who was drinking a wine bottle, with a majestic and calm look, which made Bradley unable to guess his mind.

A hearty shout interrupted Bradley's thinking.

"Last time, I won against Chichila, an ability user with armed color. How about a fight with me sometime this time, Adelina?"

Sage commanded several crew members to lift a wet treasure box onto the deck while greeting everyone.

Adelina spread her hands and readily agreed.

But Sachs shook his head again, "Not yet, in case it hurts you, Ace will have to burn my kitchen to ashes if he gets angry."

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Sage? What kind of treasure are you?" Qiqila hurried to the treasure chest, reaching out to pry it open.

Sachs was mysterious, "Do you want to know what it is? Then you have to successfully open this damn brass lock first." Then he added, "It took us nearly a week to barely study the switch of this pair of locks. way."

When it came to unlocking the lock, Adelina, Ace, and Qiqila all looked at the prince of thieves who had been standing by and watching in unison.

Following the gazes of the three of them, others also looked at Bradley.

The black-haired man spread his hands. He is a thief, not an expert in lockpicking—but he did open the lock all the way from the maze.

With a flash of his tall and thin figure, he walked through the crowd to the treasure chest in a few seconds.Under the surprised eyes of everyone, Bradley's nimble fingers kept groping for something, and within a few seconds, he unlocked the copper lock three times and five times.

Sage gasped in surprise.

"This is simply incomparable to your dagger mechanism." Bradley said leisurely as he passed Adeline.

Adelina, who was still subconsciously clutching the dagger, glared at him, "Is it okay not to mention this?"

Over there, Sage was taking out a dark purple devil fruit covered with spiral patterns from the treasure chest, and here Bradley quietly stuffed the black leather book into Ace's hands.

The first sentence he spoke was not about the cowhide—

"What's with the legs of that antique glasses?"

Ace froze for a moment, realizing he was asking Lame Brady.

"Ah? Beddy said it was bitten off by a Neptune."

Bradley's eyes sank, and then he sneered, "...a coward."

After hearing what he said, Ace looked puzzled.

Before Ace asked, Bradley patted him on the shoulder and turned the conversation to Adelina, "The thing on the leather book, you make her mentally prepared."

Hearing this, Ace's five fingers holding the leather book tightened slightly.

He hummed, and put away the gentle expression that was still slightly smiling just now, and the expression was rarely serious.

After briefly saying goodbye to Ace, he declined the other party's invitation to stay and enjoy the banquet together. When no one else noticed, Bradley turned over and jumped back to his boat.

Not long after, when the prince of thieves returned to the country alone, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to give a kind reminder to Fire Fist and the others.

Hammering the rudder hard, Bradley felt faintly uneasy.

……

When night fell, the deck was already bustling with noise.The orange light and fire merged with the clear moonlight reflected on the sea.

I don't know who sang the pirate song "Binkesi's Wine", which attracted many people to join in and sang at the top of their voices.

Whitebeard sat on the wooden steps at the bow, surrounded by the crew.I don't know who yelled and called a group of people to drink and punch, so everyone gathered in the direction of that person.White Beard smiled and raised his head to drink, watched his crew quietly with a gentle and steady gaze, and sighed to Marco who was standing aside, how good it is to be young.

Carrying an ox horn jug full of sake, Adelina walked to the edge of the wooden steps, glanced at Marco, and ran to drink and play games with the crew members very discerningly.

Whitebeard shook the flagon in his hand, half of the spirits in it had been drunk.

"Father, I encountered some troublesome things when I went to sea this time." Adelina opened her mouth slowly, she didn't think about words, and explained her troubled thoughts to White Beard clearly.

But she still ambiguously blurred the past about Buridon and reagent No. [-].

After listening to a slightly heavy sentence, White Beard smiled boldly, "Girl, you have to talk to Marco." After speaking, he took another sip of wine.

Adelina immediately failed, and her original serious expression collapsed in an instant.

She reluctantly took a sip of sake, "Father, can you listen carefully..." It was rare for her to have a serious conversation.

"Girl." Whitebeard's voice paused for a moment, and the words were short and powerful, "If it's Geraldine, she will follow her true heart."

His rough palm patted the solid chest covered with scars, and pointed to the location of the heart.

Adelina froze.

Follow your true heart?

Looking at her bewildered appearance, she did not see her previous alertness and calmness at all.White Beard couldn't help but sighed, "You young people's affairs, you can deal with them yourself!"

Marco, who was watching Adeline's rare abnormality, came back, "Adeline, when have you been so long-winded before? But if Ace's kid asked Dad to come to his mother-in-law, Dad would probably have heard of it a long time ago." Palm passed." He raised his chin to signal the figure not far away who was slowly walking towards Adelina.She looked at Marco, who shrugged his shoulders with an expression that I didn't know anything.

Adeline stood up from the steps with her hands on her knees and walked towards Ace.

Ace's cheeks were slightly red, and he didn't know how much alcohol he had drunk.The banquet went on for so long, and this time he didn't suddenly fall asleep in the middle of it - she was still a little surprised by this.

The moment her eyes touched his, all the depression in her heart disappeared.

Standing in front of her, Ace scratched the back of his head helplessly, lowered his head under Adelina's puzzled eyes, and handed out a note with some embarrassment, "I lost the game."

Adeline took the crumpled piece of paper without knowing why, and the warmth of Ace's palm still remained on it.She opened the note, her eyes fixed on the scribbled and redacted punishment instruction.

... Chichila, do you really think I can't recognize such ugly characters written with my left hand?

When he raised his head again, his gaze met the man's black eyes as bright as stars without any surprise.

The phrase "Why do I think you lost on purpose" was drowned in the warm lips and teeth that came up unexpectedly.

Moist and soft lips entangled.The gentle look of his mouth upturned before closing his eyes was clearly engraved in her mind, and Adelina subconsciously tightened the red bead necklace on Ace's neck.

His hand rested lightly on her lower back, protecting the wound that hadn't healed.

The booing and blessings of the surrounding companions intertwined with the crisp sound of clinking glasses.

When the lips parted, Ace, who had been staring at her face intently, suddenly burst into pupils, as if suddenly remembering something, he grabbed Adelina's white wrist suddenly, and looked at the puzzled and blank eyes of all the onlookers. In the middle, he pulled her towards the stairs leading to the cabin.

He held her hand, fine beads of sweat oozing from the palm.

The banquet on the deck was still going on, but Ace took her and ran to her room. Once inside, he put his hands behind his back and locked the door behind him.

Before Adelina asked, Ace took out a black leather book from his pants pocket.

"Bradley gave it to me." Ace handed the book to her with a serious look, "I think you will know sooner or later."

For some reason, her heart skipped a beat.

His fingertips brushed the texture of the cowhide book cover.

She slowly lifted a page of paper, but her gaze froze when she touched the photo on the first page.

The shock, incomprehension, and resentment passed through her trembling fingertips to her stinging heart.

In the photo, the silver-haired boy with extensive burns on his body closed his eyes tightly, his lips were bloodless.

Several transparent plastic tubes penetrated into various parts of his body, and the tubes were filled with a light blue liquid.

One leg was ripped open, revealing a horribly cold metal skeleton.

Emergency experimental project.

The experiment location, the underground secret database in the west district of E6.

Subject of the experiment, E6 student Buridon (voluntary).

The main operation of the experiment is the variation of reagent No. [-] injection.

……

As a result of the experiment, the cyborg K (not a PX weapon) was successfully manufactured.

The main executor, Dr. Vegapunk.

Guarantor, Isano Jack.

The author has something to say:

So in fact, Boridon is not a human being. Now, he is a modified human like Franky, and has been injected with the power of the No. [-] reagent.I also hinted a little before. [Note that the guarantor is Adelina's grandfather

Bradley was scared at the time because the photo was so cruel..

And his previous guess was that Buridon had only been injected with the No. [-] reagent, but he didn't expect that he was a modified person.

In this chapter, the dark fruit has appeared, and the next chapter is about to do things...
