Somewhere in the new world, on a naval ship somewhere.
"Report, General Aramaki, the Beast Pirates' ship was spotted ahead, and it seems to be 'Drought' Jack."
A naval officer in a colonel's uniform reported to a man with curly black hair lying on a chair smoking a cigarette and sunbathing and wearing sunglasses.
"Eh~ Just pretend you didn't see it."
Aramaki turned around and waved his hand, as if he planned to pretend he didn't see it.
He just completed the task assigned by the Warring States Marshal today. He is already very tired and does not want to deal with such troublesome things anymore.
Moreover, according to the plan of Chief Heda, it is not appropriate to attack the high-level combat power of the Beasts Pirates now, otherwise the Beasts Pirates today may not be able to compete with the Monster Family.
If both the Beast Pirates and the Monster Family cannot be harmed, it will be a huge loss to their navy.
the other side.
"Lord Jack..."
"Come closer to me!"
A war without suspense started, and Fuzifu and Sasaki, who were beaten along with Jack, were miserable.
Their purpose was not to fulfill Lord Kaido's order and lead Kazan and his party to Wano Country. How could they encounter such a thing?
But in the end, the navy's negligence allowed a few of them to escape.
...
In the West Sea, in an underground cave on a small island near the old site of O'Hara.
"The underworld fruit actually has this effect."
Luo held his long knife "Ghost Cry" and read a book. This seemed to be a book that was circulated when O'Hara still existed.
There are countless books like this in the entire ocean. After all, O'Hara was a world-famous archaeological holy site at the time. Countless books including enlarged copies were circulated, and the world government did not have time to destroy them one by one.
Anyway, for them, it is enough to eliminate those people who can understand the text of history and want to understand the one hundred years of blank history.
"This is the first time I know."
Brooke stood aside and watched, slightly shocked.
Although he is a user with the Underworld Fruit ability, he is still a man who has even died once.
But in reality, he knew very little about the power of this Devil Fruit.
For example, whether he can be resurrected again, whether he can resurrect others, whether he can communicate with the underworld from the real world... He has never tried any of these.
After all, it was purely an accident when he ate the Underworld Fruit. He had no intention of gaining any power from this Devil Fruit. Until now, all his strength has been supported by his swordsmanship.
"Brooke, I want to ask you for something."
"Mr. Tiga, just say it, if you can help me, I will be obliged to do so."
Brooke nodded seriously. Tiga was his friend, and the monster family was also kind to him, so he would not refuse Tiga's request.
Tija looked at his left arm that had completely turned green. It was very similar to Kazan's ghost hand, but he didn't have much joy, because this meant that the Seven Star Sword was having an increasingly serious impact on him.
He said: "If one day I die, please try to use your power of the underworld fruit to kill me..."
After listening to the content, Brooke was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Tiga, you will not die! I believe in you! Mr. Kazan and the others also believe in you! However, it is indeed necessary for me to start developing the Underworld Fruit from today.
Able."
"Is it necessary? Do you want to do this even though you are already dead? Maybe they just want to get something valuable from you."
Luo, who had listened to everything, lowered his head and murmured.
The next moment.
Whoosh!
Tija grabbed Luo's neck with one hand and held him in front of her. Her eyes, which had turned into green, were staring at Luo's unresponsive eyes.
"I don't know what happened to you, but... don't give others a reason for the love they give you! They love me, and I know this better than anyone else."
"..."
As soon as Tija finished speaking, Luo's eyes opened wide, and then he pushed Tija away forcefully and silently pressed his hat.
Bebo looked at the silent Luo and Tiga, feeling a little at a loss; Brooke was also standing on the side, with empty eyes that made it difficult to tell what he was remembering.
"Just remember those who have died, that will be enough; if you want to repay someone's love and kindness, then just live well and live freely."
For me, just to achieve this level is already very difficult.
Tija held the Seven-Star Sword in his hand, turned around and walked out of the cave.
"Remember them well and live well."
Brooke murmured repeatedly, and then smiled slightly relaxedly: "Yo ho ho ho..."
【Luo, I love you~】
Luo in the cave slowly sat down leaning on the wall, holding the hat on his head tightly with one hand, gritting his teeth: "Ugh... Corasan..."
Bebo squatted aside and stayed with him silently.
...
The first half of the Grand Line.
"Asshole! If you want to kill me, go ahead and chop him into pieces. I was already prepared to die when I set foot on this sea!"
Ace yelled at the man in front of him who had two Western knives on his waist.
And this man is none other than Foil Bista, who has just returned from his hometown in the West Sea to the Moby Dick.
Not long after Ace and his companions set foot on the Grand Line, they met Bista and boldly challenged him.
Not surprisingly, at this time, even though Ace is known as "Dragon Teeth" and has a bounty of nearly 100 million, how can he be the opponent of the captain of the fifth division of the Whitebeard Pirates?
The result was naturally a group wiped out.
The members of the Spade Pirates are also very courageous. They never begged for mercy or gave up on their companions. They all fought with Ace until the end.
It was because of the loyalty of the Spade Pirates and Ace's potential that Bista tied them to them, and planned to bring back the Whitebeard Pirates to give his father a son with potential.
"Didn't I tell you that I won't kill you? You are a very good boy. Join our Whitebeard Pirates."
"Bah! There is no way I will join you, I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King!"
Ace spat on the ground and struggled vigorously.
"Ah hahaha, many people on our ship dreamed of becoming the Pirate King before they got on the ship."
"Oh, don't compare these guys with me to those who are not determined, so what is your dream now?"
"Now... probably let our captain become the Pirate King."
Bista paused, then spoke slowly, and at the same time smiled at Ace.
"...Sorry, I am destined to become the Pirate King."
For this kind of guy, Ace asked himself whether he still disliked him: "Hey, you are also a two-sword style guy. How do you compare with Kazan? You are the captain of the Monster Pirates, 'Red Eyes'."
"Oh? What? Are you very interested in him? Well... Indeed, in the eyes of you young people, Kazan's status is very high. As for me, I used to beat him as easily as I beat you.
.”
"Tch, bragging, I admit you are very strong, but have you beaten Kazan? Hum..."
Ace thought Bista was bragging and shook his head with disdain on his face.
"Hey! Ace! That's enough. Stop provoking this guy. Be careful and he will be killed later."
Who wants to die if he can live?
As the ship's doctor of the Spade Pirates and Ace's old companion, Deuce quickly opened his mouth to stop Ace's provocation.
As for Kazan, he also knew about it, and Deuce even knew about the relationship between Ace and Kazan.
Originally, he thought that if Bista really wanted to kill them, he would move Kazan out and see if it worked, but seeing that Bista had no intention of killing them, he didn't say anything.
After all, it would be bad if they were enemies, because they might suddenly have to kill them without intending to kill them in the first place.
"Although I will defeat him one day, that guy Kazan is also my master after all. How can I let you kill someone who can fight with the smelly old man?"
"..."
Deus stared at Ace dumbfounded. He felt that the thing he regretted most in his life was boarding Ace's pirate ship.
He has never seen such a mindless captain.
Now he even doubts whether the master who taught him this thing and his two brothers have a slightly better mind.
I guess so. Is there anyone more idiotic than this idiot?
"So it was in the past... Now, I can't beat him. Maybe I can only compete with him on the level of swordsmanship."
Bista didn't care about Ace's tone. It was normal for young people to be like this. What's more, he really couldn't beat Kazan now. It was not difficult to admit the strength of others. But suddenly, Bista reacted: "You
Say Kazan is your master?!"
"Ang, what? Are you... poof!"
Bang!
"No, no, no, this guy..."
Seeing that Bista's reaction was a bit loud, Deus panicked. Even though his body was tied up with a rope, he still flew over and kicked Ace until he started talking.
"What a coincidence, Kazan and I have a pretty good relationship. By the way, what do you want to say?"
Bista smiled, and the eyes he looked at Ace became kind, as if he was looking at a junior.
Then he moved his eyes to Deus who kicked Ace away, his eyes were a little strange.
"It's nothing. Our relationship with senior Kazan is quite good. I usually call him godfather."
