Pirates: Saving Ace

It's a pity that he only wounded the poinsettia of the Celestial Dragon and didn't kill him, but after the battle, Luffy's stomach was beating loudly.

The top priority is to find a restaurant to treat yourself first.

It is best to have a variety of delicious meat!
And this place has already been discovered, so if you continue to practice, you must change to another place.

The three of Luffy walked for a long distance, and finally met a little girl, who took her home to entertain her.

The little girl's name is Alice. She is seven or eight years old. She is very lively and cheerful. She depends on her mother for life. She also has an affinity with Luffy. The first time she saw her, she treated Luffy like a big brother, and she was a bit clingy.

"Alice, where did you go, girl? Do you know the danger outside..." Back home, Alice who ran out without permission was scolded by her mother who was worried about her safety.

This is a young woman in her thirties, with a bit of tenacity in her elegance. She originally wanted to get angry, but she held back when she saw Luffy and the others present.

"Auntie, if you're talking about the sandstorm caused by the Poinsettia from Tianlong, then don't worry, I've already knocked him into the air, so he shouldn't be making any more fuss.

If he dares to do evil again, I will definitely beat him to the teeth..." Lu Fei explained.

"Yes, recently our place and a large area nearby have been disturbed by that lunatic. There is a drought, and drinking water has become difficult. It was originally a war, but now...

Hey, these damned Celestial Dragons, they pretend to be tigers, and commit heinous crimes..." Alice's mother took Luffy's words indifferently, turned her head around, and really heard what Luffy said, she was so surprised that she quickly covered her mouth with her hand,

"What, what, you shot the Celestial Dragon?"

As a member of the Hyakki Yako organization, Tianlong Ren is well known to the world. Although he is not the top figure of Hyakki Yako, people like Luffy who beat up Hyakki Yako are clearly provocative.

"Yes!" Luffy replied affirmatively, showing a characteristic sunny smile.

"..." Alice's mother's hands trembled slightly, and she shed tears of excitement. She instantly understood what was going on, looked around, and immediately led the three of Luffy into the house.

"Please come in quickly, you are from the D clan of the ancient country, so we should be comrades-in-arms..."

The life of Alice's family is not easy, they are very poor, the house is bare, and there are some simple furniture in a small room, but it is clean and tidy, and the mother and daughter are warm together.

Hearing Luffy's stomach growling, Alice's mother understood, and immediately brought out a large bowl of meat to greet the three of them. Seeing Luffy eating happily, she smiled brightly and told their stories:

"Alice's father used to be a guard of the royal palace. He died a few years ago in a battle with people from the Hundred Ghosts of the Night Walking Organization, leaving us, mother and son..."

Hearing this sad story, Luffy felt that the meat in his hand was no longer delicious, so he stopped and stared blankly at Alice's mother and Alice, wanting to say something but couldn't say it.

"I'm sorry, I brought up your sadness again, I'm sorry, it's our incompetence that caused this turmoil..." Hearing that Alice's father was sacrificed by a palace guard, Qiangwei stood up straight and solemnly I bowed and apologized to Alice's mother, and randomly reported myself to them.

"You don't have to do this, take it easy, anyway, things have already happened, and once you get used to it, it doesn't matter. People can't always dwell on the painful and sad past, and everything has to look forward." Said Qiangwei The big gift, Alice's mother really couldn't stand it, she waved her hands to stop her, and then said:
"And you really don't need to apologize to me. The Hundred Ghosts of the Night Organization has done a lot of evil. Alice's father died fighting against evil and protecting this country. He is a hero. We should be happy and honored for him. What is there to be sad about? "

"Yes, my father is a great hero!" Little Alice grinned and echoed when she heard her mother's words, feeling extremely proud from the bottom of her heart.

"..."

Such a sensible little girl makes people feel sad and unbearable just looking at her.

Because of such a relationship, the three of Luffy received the warm hospitality of Alice's family and had a good talk.

"Then Auntie, what plans do you and Alice have in the future?" Qiangwei asked after chatting for a long time.

"Let's leave here for the time being, the war is turbulent, we women and children can't help much, we should find a safe place and continue to live..." Mother Alice said with a sigh, really helpless.

A bigger battle is about to break out, and ordinary people like them can only choose to flee. If there is a choice, who would want to leave their hometown?
"Because of the wars and looting by the ghosts in the past few years, the family's savings are not much. I thought about raising a few cattle and sheep at home and selling them to buy two tickets to go to sea. I never thought about the severe drought... ..."

"En." Qiangwei nodded, and then took out all her belongings, a few gold coins and a gold bracelet, and gave them to Alice's mother.
"Auntie, I don't need these things. I will give them all to you. I hope I can help you a little."

Alice's mother shied away and wanted to refuse, but Qiangwei strongly demanded to accept it, saying:

"You'd better accept it, just treat it as the food expenses for our boarding with you for the past two days, we have a lot of food, I'm afraid these are not enough, so don't refuse..."

"..."

Before agreeing on the City of Heaven, the three of Luffy stayed at Alice's house and practiced nearby during the day, constantly summing up experience and seeking progress.

……

And this time,
Hundred Ghosts Night Palace,

Cha Mi and his minions stayed in the small black room, keeping their eyes on the direction of Sky City.

"Recently, I don't know why, but I always have a strong feeling of uneasiness in my heart, as if a huge threat is coming, but I can't explain why. What do you think is going on?" Cha Mi asked. .

"How is this possible? Boss, you now have the god-level fruit and the power of the blood of the devil. You are invincible in the world. You are the king of the world. Even the strongest guard of the temple, Jianlan, is not your opponent. , so there is such an existence?" Sakura, the commander of the Hundred Beasts Legion, boasted.

"This is not necessarily the case. The D clan has a glorious history and created a highly civilized crystallization. Who knows if they will have any strange tricks to deal with us?" Blue Bell, who has always been at odds with Sakura, said.

Hearing this, Cha Mi's face darkened immediately. If anyone dared to mention the D clan in front of him at other times, there would definitely be a dead end, but now, forget it.

"In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are just jokes, not worth mentioning. I'm not afraid of any weird things from the D clan, except..."

"Soldiers of Heaven, the three weapons that can be called 'gods', Pluto, the king of the sea, Uranus, the king of the sky, the national treasures of the D family, I don't know how powerful they are, and they should not be underestimated. The High Priest and the others can only rely on this power if they want to make a comeback." Ou Shinan, who ate the dark fruit, took the words and said, looking very far-sighted,
"Fortunately, they didn't have those who mobilized these divine soldiers, and Uranus, one of the three great divine soldiers, also fell into our hands, posing no threat.

Even if it is a magic weapon, if it cannot be driven, it is just a pile of broken copper and iron. "

Hearing this, Cha Mi's eyes froze, as if his tail had been stepped on, and he paid special attention to it. He used to be a member of the D clan, so he knew it all too well, and there was also an inexplicable worry in his heart. The prophecy of annihilation came true, and he turned to the leader of the Tianlong people, Da Ji, and asked sharply:
"Daji, you said that you can crack these heavenly imperial weapons and let me get the power to destroy the world. That's why I handed over the heavenly king Uranus to you. How is your research now?"

"My lord, please wait patiently. The Celestial Divine Weapon is extraordinary. It will take some time to decipher it, but it will not fail. As long as all the preparations are complete, just wait patiently." Daji, the leader of the Tianlongren, replied affirmatively. , holding the quiet red-eyed baby with both hands from beginning to end.

With Da Ji's guarantee, Cha Mi's heart was also at ease, and he continued to let them express their opinions, you say what you say.

During the entire exchange, only the leader of the Tianlong people, Daji, didn't say much.

Hearing that Cha Mi asked him a question, Da Ji raised it fiercely. He was really worried that Cha Mi would suspect something and fooled him. I'm afraid of showing my feet.

During the conversation, Cha Mi remembered something, and a bit of panic appeared on his face:
"I remembered that there was such a ceremony. On the night when the sun and the moon were shining together, that was when I was closest to the gods. I responded to every request and received the blessings of the gods. The anxiety in my heart may have come from that.

During this period of time, is there anything unusual in Sky City? "

"No, sir, the Sky City has been very quiet these days, and there has been no movement. We have just experienced a big battle. Not only do we need to rest, but they also need to recover from their injuries..."

"That's true. Boss, your battle hurt them too much, and they completely turned into turtles. The next time the sun and the moon shine together will be their doomsday!"

"..."

After half a day's discussion, Cha Mi's uneasiness was still not resolved, and he slammed into the wall and walked out.
