[One Piece] Isano's Rebel

Chapter 28 Alabasta : White Smoke

Yellow sand occupies the entire field of vision.A hot and dry wind hit her face, Adelina wrinkled her nose, and pulled the light blue silk scarf around her neck high enough to cover her nose and mouth.

This scorching land surrounded by sea water is the Kingdom of Alabasta located on the Great Sea Route Sentine.Due to the rich collection of books in the Isano family, Adeline had read in the family library when she was a child about the particularity of the identity of the Alabasta royal family, and that there seemed to be some research value and historical significance buried under the yellow sand. s things.

It takes five days for the record pointer to be full, so she and Ace will spend at least five days on this island.

If they hadn't arrived at Magnetic Drum Island more than two months behind that bastard from Tichi, they probably wouldn't have traveled so far to come to this country.

They've pretty much been chasing Tikki these past few months, and they've always happened to be a little slower than the guy.

He also heard a lot of annoying fake news-Ace once said that he wanted to beat up those who spread fake news about the pirate Blackbeard and let them both go for nothing.

That's all for now, but Ace doesn't want to miss any clues.

In fact, Adelina is skeptical about the fact that there are bounty hunters in Alabasta who claim to have fought against Blackbeard, but Ace will never let go of any opportunity to arrest Tiki.

In addition, he said a few days ago that he wanted to see his younger brother very much, and Adelina calculated and guessed that the straw hat boy named Monkey D. Luffy was very likely to be with them at a similar time. Landing on this island—

So the two came to this desert kingdom without hesitation.

"Hey." Ace patted Adelina on the shoulder, pointing to a small and dense building not far away, "There is a market there."

The hot sun seems to be able to scorch people's skin.

The local people at the market in Nahana Harbor wrapped themselves tightly with headscarves and robes. In order to protect the skin, Adelina also wrapped her face like the local women, leaving only the Beautiful blue eyes.Ace, who was walking leisurely, suddenly stopped, and raised a hand to loosen and straighten a strand of hair that was stuck to her forehead wet with sweat.

The two happened to stop at the side of a small stall. The stall owner, who was frustrated by the customers leaving in twos and twos, immediately shone shrewdly when he saw the pair of young people.

The handsome black-haired man was shirtless, not afraid of the sun at all, and his gentle appearance when he was cutting the hair of the woman next to him made the skinny businessman immediately judge that this was a young couple from outside.

Pursing his dry lips, the stall owner immediately put on a polite smile, the creases on his face gathered together, "Brother, haven't I seen you here? Come back to Alabasta for the first time!"

Only then did Ace notice the existence of the stall owner, and exchanged glances with Adelina. They didn't know what kind of medicine the old man was selling in the gourd.

Adelina smiled indifferently, "Yes."

The stall owner seized the opportunity and quickly held up the small golden apple in his hand, "How about it? Come and see my golden apple!"

He leaned forward mysteriously, and lowered his voice, "This is an incredible secret treasure I found in the ancient ruins! Just one bite of this dreamy apple can live for thousands of years!"

Ace raised his eyebrows, his expression still calm as usual.The stall owner was a little puzzled, the reaction of this foreign guy was not what he expected.

Immediately afterwards, the man's clear voice sounded leisurely——

"Sorry. I'm not interested in living a thousand years."

That's what he said, but there was clearly no apology in his tone, but an innate arrogance on the contrary.

A gust of hot wind lifted the brim of Ace's cowboy hat.

He raised his hand to hold down the orange hat, and held Adelina firmly with his other hand.

"As long as...you can live well today."

The stall owner stared blankly at the two walking away, the black-haired brother's confident smile just now remained in his mind.

What a strange little brother... The stall owner shook his head, are young people nowadays so individualized?

Ace led Adelina to a distance.And the stall owner who was selling golden apples seemed to welcome a few customers who were very easy to be fooled.

"Golden Apple!!!"

"Can live for 1000 years!! Really really really really really?!"

"Of course it is true, how could I lie to you. This is what I excavated from ancient ruins..."

It's not a good idea to walk around the bazaar in this dizzying heat.Ace simply asked passers-by at random and started asking.Adelina stood aside with her arms crossed, watching Ace carrying her brother's arrest warrant and asking others if they had seen him, wondering if she wanted to remind him of his current behavior, especially Like a bounty hunter chasing down pirates—provided others don't recognize the unmistakable Whitebeard Pirates logo on his back.

The old woman in a long purple dress and dark green satin pursed her dry lips, staring at a reward order spread out on the table she set up, thinking hard.

"Monkey D. Luffy?"

As soon as the name was pronounced, Adelina immediately felt several probing eyes fall on her and Ace.

Out of the corner of her eye, she landed on a group of strangely dressed people on the corner of the street.

A beautiful orange-haired woman, a man with a long nose, a swordsman, and...a big, hairy man?

"He may have come to this city. I've been looking for him for a while." Ace explained patiently, "Have you seen this man?"

Holding the folding fan in her hand, the old woman shook her head and spoke very slowly, "Hmm... I haven't seen it before. But if you want to find someone, you can go to the restaurant in front and ask. The boss over there is pretty popular. There is also a lot of communication.”

Although a little disappointed, Ace politely thanked the old lady.

"I'm just a little hungry, so I'm going to find out about Luffy by the way..." Ace walked forward while talking to himself, and after walking a few steps, he found that Adeline hadn't followed.

He turned his head and saw that she was standing there, not knowing where she was looking.

Ace called her name, and Adeline turned her head in response. She trotted to his side, leaned into his ear and said, "You go first, I'll find you later."

Although Ace was puzzled, he didn't intend to ask because of his usual tacit understanding and trust. After a few words of caution, he walked towards the restaurant leisurely with an empty stomach.

Adelina thought that she had to look at the source of those strange sights, but remembered an important thing after leaving the spot for 5 minutes.

The wallet was clearly on her, but that guy Ace went directly to the restaurant with a relaxed face when he had no money?

Adeline fought inwardly for a few seconds——

Forget it, anyway, it's not a day or two for that guy to eat Bawang's meal-except for the first time she met, she really didn't see him remember to bring money when he ate.

At worst, she will rush over to pay later.

"What is that guy looking for Luffy..."

"Could it be a bounty hunter?"

The pretty woman and the big hairy man are immediately on the alert.

Only the swordsman looked calm, "No, that sign..."

This conversation happened to be captured by Adelina—from this point of view, this group of people seems to be more familiar with Monkey D. Luffy, and it is not impossible for her to ask him about him from them.

She turned her head and walked towards those strange guys, but they seemed to see something and turned around and ran away.Adelina is sure that they didn't run away when they saw her—the white beard tattoo on her right arm, which was the only revealing identity, was completely covered by her sleeves. She quietly looked around, and a woman with short hair broke in immediately. her sight.Adelina recognized the short-haired woman holding a few knives and arguing with the shopkeeper almost instantly as Smoker's subordinate, but she didn't pay attention to the name before.

Smoker is actually on this island—E6 had several cooperation missions with G5 before, and her impression of this white-haired old smoker was limited to "a stubborn uncle with a fierce face" and a powerful lone ranger— Of course, E6's style is to obey orders from superiors, so G5's Smoker doesn't have any good comments from their instructors. Adelina often hears the instructor secretly expressing dissatisfaction with Smoker's style of performing tasks, but after all, they are partners. , The instructor can't do anything.

After a while, the few people she was looking for slipped away.Adelina looked at the time, thinking that if she didn't go to the restaurant, that guy would really have to eat the king's meal, so she turned around and walked back to the original direction.

She walked to the door of the restaurant and stood still. Just as she was about to take out her wallet from her backpack, she was stopped by a low and hoarse male voice.

"You are really brave enough to eat in public..."

This voice-

She looked up and saw the word justice on the back of the silver-haired man's coat, and the leisurely figure in front of the restaurant bar.

"The second captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Portgas D. Ace."

Circles of smoke drifted out from the top of the cigar, Smoker gritted his teeth, spoke clearly, and announced the name of the man who had leisurely eaten more than a dozen plates of meals in the restaurant.

Just saying the name of the Whitebeard Pirates is enough to scare people.What's more, sitting in front of them now is the second captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, the supernova three years ago, "Fire Fist" Ace.

As soon as this remark came out, there was a commotion among the crowd in the restaurant.

"White, the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"That little brother who can fall asleep after eating is actually..."

Adelina held his forehead, and he fell asleep halfway through eating again.

But Ace, who was hotly discussed by everyone, still turned his back to Smoker, calmly shaking the porcelain cup, with a small half cup of tea left in it.

"What did the famous big pirate come to this country for?" Smoker crossed his arms, stood sideways and accidentally caught a glimpse of Adelina standing at the door of the restaurant. He said, "And... also brought the main combatants of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates?"

As soon as the words came out, Ace immediately put down the porcelain cup in his hand. The porcelain cup hit the table with a bang, and he turned around quickly, leaving Smoker who had just said a lot of words aside.

He stretched out his hand towards her, and showed his bright teeth with a cheerful smile, "Dinah, come here."

While feeling fresh about Ace calling her nickname, Adelina also obediently walked over. She calmly walked past Smoker without looking sideways.

Smoker clenched his fists tightly, this blue-eyed woman who walked past him indifferently, anyone who was a navy could recognize it.

The late Lieutenant General Isano Orton, daughter of the female pirate "Fire Phoenix" Geraldine, cut off blood relations with Lieutenant General Isano Jack, and was labeled a "rebel" by the entire navy woman.

This indifference and arrogance is really the style of the so-called elites in E6.

Wrapping Adeline's wrist, he pulled her to his side.Ace then started to look at Smoker squarely, "So, what should I do?"

"Get caught obediently." Smoker snorted coldly, and the ten hands of Hailoushi seemed ready to go.

"I refuse." Ace replied almost without thinking, the expression on his face was still very relaxed.

"Well, yes." Smoker's voice paused, "I'm looking for other pirates now, to be honest I'm not interested in your head..."

"Then let us go?"

"That's impossible. I'm the navy. As long as you're a pirate, I'll take your head."

A trace of white smoke slowly emerged from Smoker's wrist, and the smoke gradually filled the air.Adelina frowned, and just as she was about to pull out the dagger, Ace held her hand down.

Facing Smoker, he grinned, looking confident that you can do anything to me.

When the two confronted each other, a shout gradually approached from a distance, and the moment Adelina heard the voice shouting "rubber rocket", a group of figures broke through the wooden door of the restaurant and approached Smoker. Standing in the same direction, in the blink of an eye, Smoker was knocked away by the unknown momentum from behind, and Ace, who was on the same line as him, also suffered.The two were dragged by this momentum and knocked a big hole in the stone wall.

A group of people stared stupidly at the positions where Ace and Smoker stayed before being knocked into the air, and Adelina who was still a little dazed standing there.She was stunned for a moment, and then without hesitation, she pulled out the dagger and put the blade across the neck of the black-haired boy who was yelling for food.

The boy was frightened by Adelina's sudden attack instinct, but he was not afraid, but asked her with a friendly smile, "What are you doing?"

Adelina was taken aback when she saw the face of the black-haired boy, she immediately withdrew the dagger.

The boy in front of him is the younger brother Ace has been clamoring to meet, Monkey D. Luffy.

"Hey you……"

Adelina was surprised and was about to speak, but in the middle of her words, the straw hat boy who kept stuffing food into his mouth suddenly turned his head and ran away.And what followed was a string of white smoke coming out of the hole in the wall. Adelina cursed secretly in her heart, and then ran to keep up—and didn't have time to wait for Ace who just got up from the ground .

A boy wearing a straw hat, a cloud of white smoke, and a beautiful woman with blue eyes, the three of them ran wildly chasing each other under the watchful eyes of everyone.

With his fruit ability, Smoker, who was able to move freely on the roof of the residents, overturned the straw hat boy with a long-range attack. The boy didn't show any intention of fighting, and he got up from the ground and ran in the opposite direction.Seeing that the straw hat boy being chased by the old smoker was getting closer and closer to her, Adelina immediately quickened her pace.And the Straw Hat seemed to be familiar with her, waving and yelling for her to run, while avoiding Smoker's attack from behind.

It's really embarrassing for that young man to be targeted by a stubborn old smoker.

The moment the straw hat boy yelled and ran past her, Adelina leaned over, put one hand on the ground, and used her strength to lift her body into the air.

The armed color wrapped around her right calf, and Adeline kicked hard with her right foot, hitting the front end of the cloud of white smoke hard.

It only takes a few seconds, the movements are smooth, fast and accurate, and the strength is fierce.

Obviously, Smoker didn't expect the Whitebeard Pirates to stand on the side of the Straw Hat Boy. Although Adelina in front of him is a woman, her terrifying strength is beyond the reach of many men.

Smoker knows that the woman in front of him is not easy to mess with, and he has learned this when he cooperated with E6.

And Adelina didn't intend to fight him, after a hard kick, she pulled the boy's arm under the adoring eyes of the Straw Hat Boy and ran away.

"Wow, that move just now was so powerful, how did you manage to attack people with abilities like this?"

"Hey, what's your name, let's be friends—"

"Which pirate group are you from?"

During the running break, the Straw Hat Boy had the leisure to chat with her.

I feel that this kid's way of thinking is really similar to that guy Ace in some respects.

Adeline put away her wandering thoughts—she and the Straw Hat Boy ran into the port when they ran into the Straw Hat Boy's companions, and Adeline recognized several of them as the people she noticed at the market just now.However, before she had time to explain what was going on, there was a burst of smoke behind her. Adelina turned her head and was about to throw her dagger to block Smoker's "white fist", but her eyes touched a familiar The figure stopped moving.

"Yang Yan—"

The scorching flames collided with the surging white mist, creating a violent gust of air.The tall and straight trees on the side of the road were blown down by this strong airflow.The birds that stayed on the roof fled in flocks in a panic.

Under the shocked eyes of the straw hat boy and his companions, the powerful flame slowly retracted, and finally gathered in the hands of the handsome black-haired man.

On the orange cowboy hat, the smile badge is swaying in the wind.

Ace walked up to Adelina, and smiled brightly at the boy in the straw hat who was startled from ear to ear——

"Hi, Luffy."
