Pirate King

Chapter 76 Ace
In the tavern in Windmill Village.

Shanks's left arm is wrapped in layers of bandages, holding a jug in his hand, and he seems to be in a very good mood.

"It seems that the battle between the Four Emperors has seriously injured you, and you were almost killed by a King of the Sea."

"What a disgrace, Shanks!"

Lothar also held a wine glass in his hand, but it was not wine, but fruit juice.

"Hey, what are you talking about, Shanks is trying to save me, don't underestimate Shanks!"

Luffy immediately yelled beside him, aggrieved for Shanks.

"Ah, I've been spotted. As expected of Tianniao Lothar, a 10-year-old legendary sailor!"

Shanks took a sip of wine leisurely, but coughed because of his injury.

"Even the Four Emperors know me?"

"It's really an honor!"

Lothar raised his glass to Shanks and drank it down.

"What, you're only 10 years old?"

"how can that be!"

Luffy looked at Lothar in disbelief. He saw with his own eyes how Lothar beheaded the King of the Sea!

"Well, Luffy, you really don't know him?"

"In terms of seniority, he should be your brother, right?"

"He's Mr. Garp's grandson!"

Shanks glanced at Luffy strangely, the family tree of this family is really confusing.

"what?"

"Is he also my grandpa's grandson?"

Luffy was taken aback, and looked at Lothar strangely.

"Speaking of Mr. Garp, he estimates that he will arrive here in half a day. As the culprit who instigated Luffy to be a pirate, is it really okay for you to be so leisurely?"

Lothar looked at Shanks playfully.

This time his shot avoided Shanks' broken arm. I really don't know how magnificent the sea will be in the future.

As soon as Lothar finished speaking, Shanks was taken aback.

But before he could say anything, the pirates under him suddenly rushed up, picked up Shanks and ran away.

In the blink of an eye, the red-haired pirates completed the whole process of resupply, boarding, and preparing to go to sea.

At the port, Shanks gave Luffy the straw hat on his head and completed a promise to change the pirate world.

Lothar looked at all this with a smile, and suddenly felt a little emotional in his heart.

It seems that at this moment, he really walked into this world, no longer a bystander, but a witness.

"Navy, what do you think of justice...?"

Shanks looked at Lothar aside, with a playful smile on his face.

"The direction of the heart is justice."

Lothar was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

Shanks narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a while, he also let out a hearty laugh.

"What a heartfelt wish. In the sea of ​​the future, there must be a place for you. I am looking forward to it."

"Ah, I'm looking forward to it too, and don't forget, you owe me some face!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you on the sea!"

Shanks jumped on the pirate ship, waved to Lothar and Luffy, and drifted away with the silhouette of the pirate ship.

"Brother, I will definitely become the One Piece King, neither you nor grandpa can stop me!"

Lu Fei's eyes showed determination, and he looked at Lothar without fear.

"Ah, remember what I said, the direction of the heart is justice, whether it is a navy or a pirate, it is just a status, the most important thing is the heart."

Lothar touched the head of the future One Piece and looked towards the sea.

He is also looking forward to the coming of that era that belongs to them.

……

"Grandpa, where are we going?"

Garp took Luffy, Lothar, and Mira through the mountains and forests. Before walking far, Luffy yelled loudly.

boom!
Garp immediately hit the iron fist of love, telling Luffy to shut up, simple and rude.

"Ace should be 10 years old this year."

"Well, his birthday is January 1st, and he's just 1 years old."

"Lothar, isn't your birthday coming soon?"

"Well, my birthday is February 2st, and it will be here in a few days."

After trekking all the way, after a few hours, the four finally arrived at the bandit Dadan's house.

"Huh? Ace?"

When Dadan saw Lothar for the first time, he subconsciously regarded him as Ace.

But suddenly, she was stunned, and saw the real Ace walking out of the door.

After Ace saw Lothar, he was also taken aback suddenly, with disbelief on his face.

It is estimated that anyone who sees an identical self standing in front of him will have this expression.

It's just that Lothar is obviously taller than Ace now, and his blond hair is also different from Ace's black hair, making it easy to distinguish.

"who are you?"

Ace had a look of panic on his face.

"My name is Lothar, Portgas D. Lothar, and at the same time, I am also your brother." Lothar smiled forward.

"My... brother?"

Ace took a few steps back, not slowing down for a while.

"He's really your brother, Ace." Garp sighed and said forward.

"He...is also that person's son?"

Ace's eyes were uncertain, he gritted his teeth, and clenched his fists tightly.

"Ah, yes, I am also that person's son, and starting today, we are no longer alone." Lothar looked directly at Ace, and he had already guessed what Ace was thinking.

Although I am not your real brother, if you want, I will treat you like a real brother.

"Ah."

Ace was taken aback, then nodded silently, feeling a little better.

"This is for you, it's a meeting gift from my brother."

Lothar took out the burnt fruit that had already been prepared, so it was considered to be returned to the original owner.

"This is a devil fruit, Ace, you decide not to eat it, if you eat it, you will become a landlubber!"

Luffy's eyes showed horror, and he snatched the devil fruit from Lothar's hand.

"Could it be... Burning fruit!"

"Nature's burning fruit, Lothar, how did you get him!"

Garp suddenly exclaimed, he knew the value of the burning fruit, and Lothar took it out at this time.

"It was snatched from the pirate!" Lothar grinned and then looked at Ace, waiting for his choice.

"No way, Ace, look at me, look at me, I am like this, but it is all caused by this fruit."

Luffy yelled again, trying to stop Ace.

"It is true that after eating the Shao Shao fruit, you will become a landlubber, but you can also get the power to control the flame from it, and cross the sea!"

Lothar still looked at Ace, he was looking forward to it, if Ace now ate the burnt fruit.

Then ten years later, what will his strength be?

"Across the sea!"

There was a flash of light in Ace's eyes, he stood up abruptly, snatched the burning fruit from Lu Fei's hand, and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Ugh, it's so unpalatable!"

Ace let out a retching sound from his mouth, breathed out, and suddenly, a flame spit out from his mouth, instantly igniting the wooden table in front of him.

"Successful, control the power of the flame!"

Lothar's eyes narrowed, and at the same time secretly compared the fire attribute energy in his body to find similarities.

"Sure enough, it is a burning fruit, an extremely powerful natural devil fruit, Ace, you have to thank your brother, this is a priceless treasure!" Garp sighed with emotion.

"Thank you, brother."

Ace nodded solemnly. At this moment, he really recognized the brother Lothar.

　Today's third change, thank you book friends for killing all the dogs in the world for a thousand rewards.
