Pirates go undercover from the advance city

Chapter 316 Ace and Roger

Ace fought a battle with the Queen of the Apple Nine Kingdom.

Phantom beasts belong to the animal system, but they can often master abilities beyond the scope of the animal system.

For example, Marco's blue flames, Kaido's flames, wind, lightning, and Luffy's rubber
These extra abilities caught Ace by surprise.

Fortunately, Ace's own fighting talent is very good. Although he fell into a disadvantage at the beginning, after he found out the ability of the queen of the Apple nine kingdom, he successfully retreated.

Originally, Ace wanted to take a break in the Apple nine kingdom, but he almost capsized in the gutter. He didn't dare to stay longer, so he turned around and left the Apple nine kingdom.

Then Ace and his partners drifted all the way, and they followed the road that Roger walked.

At this time, Ace is undoubtedly paranoid. He blindly wants to deny his identity as the son of One Piece. He hates his birth and that man.

On this day, Ace and his partners met the elephant owner during their travels.

"It's so big! How can there be such a big creature here!" said Deus, one of Ace's partners and the vice-captain of the Spades Pirates.

"It's really big, bigger than the biggest Neptune I've ever seen!" Ace also sighed.

Just as Ace was thinking of climbing onto the elephant owner's back to have a look, suddenly cheers rang out from an island not far away: "Wuhu~ There is really a treasure!"

Ace's eyes lit up when he heard the word "treasure". Anyway, Ace is also a pirate, so he would be interested in treasure.

(ps: In the original book, Ace met the redhead after he went to Wano Country, and he went to a snow-covered island to find the redhead. Here is a little magic change, because I plan to let Ace Si stayed in Wano country for a while.)
When I came to the small island, a chubby ball-like man wearing sunglasses shouted excitedly, "Boss, we found the treasure. We really found the treasure!"

"Hahahaha, let me just say that this treasure map is correct!" the red-haired man said excitedly.

He ran to the dug deep pit and looked inside, where there were several large wooden boxes.

The red-haired man is the red-haired Shanks, one of the four sea emperors, and the fat man who yelled just now is his crew member Lagilu.

"Take out the treasure and open it, there should be something valuable in such a big box!"

Jesus Bu on the side heard the words and Beckman lifted the box out together.

"It feels very heavy, maybe there is something in it." Jesus Bu said.

"How about it, did you really find the treasure this time!" Shanks patted his deputy captain on the shoulder proudly and said, "I said before that there is definitely a treasure in the treasure map this time!"

Beckman pushed Shanks' hand away from his shoulder with a blank expression, and then kicked the box open.

The box was opened, and everyone from the red-haired pirates surrounded them.

"Eh? What is this?" The redhead asked in a daze.

Jesus Bu couldn't help laughing after glancing at the contents of the box.

"What's the colorful paper in here?" asked Hom Jones.

"Obviously it's money," Beckman said.

"Bailey doesn't look like this either!"

"It should be the currency of which country!" Beckman squatted down and took down a stack of banknotes and looked through it carefully, then said: "Unfortunately, Shanks, these banknotes are from the year 1118 of the Haiyuan calendar, which is 400 years Pre-Nolando period.

From the perspective of time, the countries that use this banknote with a high probability have been destroyed, so these banknotes are almost equivalent to waste paper! "

"Huh?! Did you make a mistake? Is the person who buried this treasure a fool? No one would bury banknotes as treasure! Can't the banknotes be exchanged for gems and gold?" Shanks said Said with an unhappy face.

"Boss, it's not like we didn't gain anything this time! The wood used in these boxes is very unusual. It hasn't rotted after being buried in the ground for 400 years, and the banknotes inside are still intact. These boxes alone can be worth several million. Bailey's."

"It's only a few million! This is too far from my psychological expectation, I thought"

Halfway through Shanks' speech, he suddenly scratched his head and looked in the direction of the coast, and the crew of the Red Hair Pirates also looked in that direction in unison.

"The breath of life is not weak, is it here to challenge us?" Lagilu said.

"Maybe! Recently we have encountered a lot of fledgling new pirates who have come to make trouble." The red-haired said expressionlessly.

"Boss, do you want me to throw them directly into the sea?" Jesus Bu asked.

"No, just give them a chance to challenge."

When the red-haired pirates spoke, everyone from the spades pirates had arrived on the island.

Originally, everyone in the Spades Pirates came to snatch the treasure, but when Ace saw the red-haired Shanks, he immediately changed his mind.

"Hello, Mr. Shanks, my name is Portgas D. Ace, from Donghai Windmill Village, I am Luffy's sworn brother, I heard about you from Luffy before, thank you very much for your support Take care of him." Ace greeted the redhead very politely.

The red-haired man was taken aback when he heard the words, then laughed and said, "Hahahaha, so you are Luffy's brother! Is that kid okay now?"

After some memories of childhood, on a deserted island, Shanks, the captain of the red-haired pirates, was drinking with Ace with a smile on his face.

The matter of the treasure has been left behind by the redhead at the moment. Compared with those waste papers, it is obvious that Luffy's brother is more important, and now is a good time to hold a banquet.

Regardless of Ace's identity, relying on his identity as Luffy's brother is enough for Shanks to express goodwill.

After a grand banquet, Ace also expressed his desire to challenge Whitebeard, for which Shanks neither agreed nor discouraged.

As a pirate, Shanks will not laugh at other people's dreams. Although he feels that Ace's strength is much worse than that of Whitebeard, he will not directly veto Ace's ideas.

But Lagilu on the side asked a lot, why did he want to challenge Whitebeard?

Ace hesitated when he heard the words. He knew that the man in front of him was his father's former crew member, and he didn't want to talk about it in front of them.

But after a few big glasses of wine, Ace's mind became a little unclear.

He asked the redhead, "Shanks, what do you think of Roger the Pirate King?"

"Are you talking about the captain? He is a very unreliable person with a very out-of-the-box personality, which is somewhat similar to Luffy."

"Leaving aside the character aspect?"

"Aside from character? The captain should be a very admirable person."

"Admiration? But didn't he start the era of great pirates, and killed countless people because of it? Even"

Ace didn't say the second half of the sentence. He wanted to say that even his own birth was based on the sacrifice of many babies, and he was born with sin.

"From this point of view, the captain is indeed not a person worthy of admiration. The captain has no ability to create a new order, but broke the old order, leaving a mess and causing countless people to suffer.

But before the captain, no one dared to stand up and do similar things. His behavior of breaking the old order is enough to make me admire.

And what I'm doing now is to help the captain do what he couldn't do at the time. "

"No one is perfect. Everyone has two sides. You have to judge a person from many aspects. Because of Roger, it is true that many people died, but he was also the first to stand up against the order established by the world zf. people,” Beckman said.

"Yes! I think Roger is a very free person. He lived unrestrainedly during his lifetime, and gave people in this world a chance to live unrestrainedly after his death, unlike me, who can never live unrestrainedly." Jesus said Said with a lonely face.

"What right do you, a scumbag who abandoned his wife and children, have the right to live unrestrainedly? You should bear this." Shanks said with a look of contempt.

Jesus Bu was a little unconvinced when he heard the words: "Boss, you were the one who wanted to drag me into the gang!"

"Really? Why don't I remember?"

The serious topic is over in the gag of the red-haired pirates.

Ace lowered his head and pondered what the redheads said, which made him understand Roger from another angle.

Ace suddenly wants to know more about Roger. He wants to know what kind of person Roger is who can make a man like the red-haired Shanks remember his mission for a lifetime and admire him so much.

The lively and noisy banquet lasted for a day and a night.

Early in the morning of the third day, Ace decided to continue going to sea. After saying goodbye to everyone in the Red Hair Pirates, he set sail.

The redhead smiled and waved Ace off.

After the ship of the Spades Pirates had completely disappeared on the sea level, the smile on the face of the red-haired Shanks gradually faded.

After a while, a trace of nostalgia appeared in his eyes.

"Ace, Ace, is the child left by the captain a son? He was adopted by Garp. Obviously, I was looking forward to the appearance of a girl with the name Ann." The redhead muttered to himself.

During the conversation last night, Shanks had discovered the relationship between Ace and the captain.

First of all, Ace's own attitude towards the captain, and the name of Ace was named after Roger with the supreme sharp knife he carried, plus Ace is Luffy's foster brother and Garp's grandson .

If you think about it this way, the captain paid Astor to Garp in all likelihood before he was executed.

Shanks, who knows the relationship between Garp and Roger as an enemy and friend, and with the above clues, Red Hair can easily guess Ace's identity.

"Captain, is this your choice?" Shanks muttered to himself.

"Shanks, if you are worried about this kid, we can follow up and have a look." Beckman, who also guessed Ace's identity, said.

"No, but I can't just watch him die like this. Beckman, please help me write a letter to Whitebeard!"

"What's the content of the letter?" Beckman asked.

After thinking for a while, Shanks smirked and said, "Let's say there is a very interesting young man who is going to challenge him. This young man is the son of an old man."

Hearing this, Beckman took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter according to Shanks' wishes.

A chance encounter with Shanks changed Ace's attitude towards Roger, and at the same time he became curious about Roger.

In the following days, while traveling, Ace asked the people he met for their views on One Piece.

In this way, a few months later, the Spades Pirates came to Wano Country by accident.

Ace is unfamiliar with the land of Wano Country, and Ace doesn't know whether Roger has been to Wano Country back then.

But Ace knows that Kozuki Oden, the general of Wano country, was once Roger's partner on the ship.

Ace had asked someone before that the generals of the Wano country are equivalent to the kings of other countries.

He was curious why there was a king of a country on Roger's boat.

This time I accidentally came to Wano Country to find a chance to meet Kozuki Oden and ask him about Roger.

After Kaido was driven out, the present Wano country has returned to its original appearance.

Ace first met the girl Ayu in Jiuli, and then met Guangyue Rihe by chance.

Today's Kozuki Hiyori has not become a useless woman who can only play shamisen as in the original book.

Now she has learned swordsmanship from warriors since she was a child, and she is now a strong person.

When the two met for the first time, a big fight broke out, and they became friends after fighting.

Kozuki Rihe learned that Ace wanted to see his father, and immediately expressed his willingness to introduce Ace.

Then a group of people walked towards the capital of flowers, but on the way, Kozuki Hiyori ran into Kozuki Oden who sneaked out from the general's mansion for a ride.

Moyu met his daughter, and Kozuki Oden was embarrassed. Normally, Kozuki Hihe would definitely let her father go back.

But today with Ace, Kozuki Hiyori did not dismantle her father's stage, she introduced each other to the two.

After Ace learned that the person in front of him was Kozuki Oden, he immediately asked Oden what he thought of Roger.

In the past few months, Ace has asked various people what they think of Roger, but most of these people are ordinary people, and Kozuki Oden is different from them, he is the king of a country.

Ace is a lot like listening to what the king of a country has to say about Roger.

After a moment of silence, Kozuki Oden only said: "Roger may not be a good person, but he is a person who dares to fight and is a great person."

After receiving Oden's answer, Ace fell silent.

Both Kozuki Oden and Red-haired Shanks were people who stayed on Roger's ship, and now their identities and strengths are top existences in this sea, but the answers they gave are so consistent.

At this moment, Ace felt that he really didn't know Roger very well. He wanted to know more about Roger's deeds before making a judgment on this person.

So Ace asked Oden to let him stay in Wano country for a while.

Oden readily agreed, and afterwards sent someone to help Ace and his partners arrange accommodation.

Ace lived in Wano Country, perhaps because Ace was in the blood of Roger, Kozuki Oden felt that he looked at Ace very kindly, as if chatting with an old friend he had known for a long time.

Since then, Kozuki Oden often sneaks out from the general's mansion to chat with Ace, and the two quickly become friends.

　There was another epidemic in Taiyuan, and the closed community was only 1.2 kilometers away from our community.
