The gourmet among pirates

From a distance, the ferocious scar on Samuda's face seemed to be moving, making Samuda's face, which already had scars running through his cheek, look even more terrifying.

········

Ding! !

Ace swung out his sword again. The sword energy was vertical and horizontal, and the flames were soaring into the sky, blocking all escape routes. Unable to dodge, the blond young man had no choice but to swing his dagger to catch it. A harsh sound of gold and iron was heard.

The dagger in his left hand, which had withstood dozens of strikes from Ace's sword energy, finally couldn't bear it again and was cut off abruptly and sent flying.

At this time, the Famine Knight, who only had a dagger left, looked very embarrassed. He had been hit by flames several times. Even if he was wearing white clothes and white robes, he was already covered in scorch. Even his eyebrows and hair were unavoidable. When it was touched by the flames, it gave off a strange smell of burnt proteins.

And opposite him.

Ace was unscathed except for the fact that his physical strength was depleted quickly because he was in the famine realm.

Obviously, facing Ace, who had been carefully trained by Morin, the Famine Knight, a famous Knight of the Apocalypse in several surrounding kingdoms, was simply not enough.

But this is normal.

In the anime of his previous life, Ace had no one to teach him at all, and relied on his extraordinary talent and potential, as well as the luck of quickly obtaining the Burning Fruit after going to sea. His strength was extremely explosive. In a short time, In less than a year, he had the terrifying power to fight Jinbei, one of the Seven Warlords under the King, with no outcome.

And taking this opportunity, he met and was recognized by Whitebeard, and adopted him as his son, becoming the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates.

But now, compared to the Ace in the previous life and original work, there is an Ace who has been taught by many monster-level strongmen such as Morin, Akainu, Fujitora, Koushiro, etc., and both his talent and potential have been fully developed.

He is much more powerful than Ace at the same time in the original work.

Two years ago, Ace had enough strength to enter the new world. Now, after two years of accumulation, Ace has not encountered an opponent worthy of his full strength for a long time. Sometimes, even Ace himself I don’t even know where my strength has reached.

The Hungry Knight who is fighting him now is indeed far more powerful than the pirates in the East China Sea by more than one level, coupled with his weird Famine Domain.

After a long war, even in the Grand Line, Perkins will have a place.

pity.

The Ace he met this time was an Ace who had been reborn from the ashes and transformed countless times after being taught by Morin.

If Ace hadn't sensed the holy aura in the Moonlight Monastery on the mountainside with his domineering power, and it was moving down the mountain, he wouldn't have wanted to come to the door as a bad guest and hurt the opponent before everything was clear. if.

Ace had already launched his full force to end this battle.

but.

The Famine Knight opposite Ace didn't know that Ace held back his hand when fighting him.

After one of his daggers was cut off by Ace.

The eyes he looked at Ace were filled with murderous intent, and the look he looked at Ace was more like looking at a dead person.

"That's it, Marine!"

"Oh? Do you have any abilities?"

Ace stood dozens of meters in front of the Famine Knight, standing with his sword in hand. As he spoke lightly, he swung his sword down again, and flames swept out.

Whoosh!

After avoiding Ace's falling flames.

"Navy, although you are very strong, for the sake of the ideal of the Holy Lady and the hope of thousands of civilians, no matter who you are, I will not allow you to step onto the Holy Mountain to harm Her Highness the Holy Lady. For this reason, I... ·····You can give everything.”

After taking a deep breath, a trace of determination flashed in the Famine Knight's eyes.

"Hunger, relief..."

Just when the Famine Knight was planning to liberate the depths of his body, the source of Famine that he had suppressed so hard that made him sink and starve every day, making life worse than death, offered his own life, fully sublimated, and perished with Ace. So as to protect Her Royal Highness the Saint.

That day, on the path leading to Moonlight Monastery, a stern voice containing anger suddenly came.

"Stop it, Perkins!"

Hearing this voice, he was about to unlock the seal on himself. The face of Famine Knight Perkins, who died with Ace, changed, and he immediately raised his head towards the rocky path behind him.

When he saw His Highness the Saint running down the rocky path in a hurry, Perkins showed a trace of worry on his face and shouted: "It's dangerous here, Samda, please take Her Highness away quickly." ·····”

In fact, there is no need to remind Famine Knight Perkins, after discovering that Her Royal Highness came down from Moonlight Monastery.

Samuda, who was hiding on the mountainside watching the battle, rushed forward to stop Saint Monroe.

But not waiting for Samuda to step forward.

"Step aside!"

He was scolded by Saint Monroe and backed away.

Although Monroe is usually gentle and approachable towards everyone, when she gets serious, she exudes unparalleled majesty, giving people a sacred and inviolable feeling.

Samda, who originally wanted to stop Monroe, took a few steps back subconsciously.

It wasn't until Monroe crossed his side and ran down for hundreds of meters that Samuda slowly reacted.

But this time.

It's obviously too late.

"Her Royal Highness the Saint..."

After shouting in a panic, Samuda could only grit his teeth and follow quickly.

········

the other side.

Ace, who had been firmly fixated on the holy aura on the mountain through seeing and hearing the domineering energy, when he also felt the aura running quickly towards the bottom of the mountain, he quietly diverted most of his attention and put his guard down. His focus was on the running figure.

As one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Famine Knight's strength has far surpassed the level of the East China Sea Pirates, and has the strength that more swordsmen would like to match. The status and reputation of the Saint Monroe are still far above the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Ace had to be on guard.

Under the tutelage of Maureen.

Ace is no longer as naive as he once was.

He would not think that Saint Monroe, who has a strong holy aura, must be a good person.

In his past naval career, he had seen with his own eyes the famous rich man and good man who was the mastermind behind raising pirates.

I have also seen gang members who are hated by everyone, secretly taking their little money every day, going to the bakery to buy bread to help the children who are starving to death in the slums, while I make do with it. The bread crumbs and scraps I shamelessly begged from the bakery were mixed with water and eaten to satisfy my hunger.

Human nature is like this, let alone the breath attribute of "holiness".

In this world, there are many strange devil fruits.

Most Devil Fruit users who eat Devil Fruits are also full of uncertainty!

Who stipulates that people who have obtained this "holy" power must be good people?

Human nature is the most complex thing in the world.

Therefore, Ace's inner guard will not relax at all towards Monroe, the so-called saint of the Moonlight Church.

·······

Monroe quickly ran to the side of Famine Knight Perkins, and without saying a word, shot a holy breath into Perkins' body.

When this golden ball of holy light submerged into Perkins' body.

The violent aura rolling around Perkins' body, as well as the power of famine that began to gradually affect people's perception, dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even the crazy desire to die with Ace in Perkins's eyes began to fade away.

After feeling the restless source of famine in Perkins' body, it began to become silent again.

The urgency on Monroe's face slowly calmed down.

"Whoo~~~"

After suppressing Perkins' raging famine origin, the Saint of the Moonlight Church breathed a sigh of relief. When she raised her head, she saw Perkins' eyes full of guilt and worry.

"Her Royal Highness the Saint..."

After shaking her head at Perkins, Monroe walked out from behind Perkins.

Standing in front of Ace, a smile appeared on his face and said: "Ace, long time no see!"

·······

"Ace, long time no see!"

Ace was originally on guard, but he didn't even take back the famous sword "Withered Wood" in his hand. When Ace heard this, he suddenly looked confused.

what's the situation?

haven't seen you for a long time?

Do we know each other?

Ace was stunned by Monroe's greeting. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't find out from his memory that he had any interaction with the saintly lady Monroe in front of him. He couldn't help but frown and ask. He said: "I'm sorry, but I'd like to ask, do we know each other?"

After hearing Ace's words, a trace of disappointment flashed deep in Monroe's eyes.

However, this disappointment was quickly hidden by Monroe.

"Have you forgotten? This is really too much! Four years ago, sister Ina and I went down the mountain to buy salt. After we were kidnapped by pirates, if it weren't for you and Colonel Taoyao, we would have been stolen from the pirates In his hands, he saved us, and I’m afraid there will be no Monroe in this world. Over the years, I have been paying attention to your information, but I didn’t expect that you couldn’t remember me at all.”

"Although I have thought that you had forgotten about saving this incident, I still feel too good to hear it from you..."

"Ah!!!!"

After listening to Monroe's story, Ace showed an embarrassed expression.

Searching for the information provided by Monroe, he started digging for his own information again.

But after a while, Ace still couldn't recall this memory.

After becoming a marine, Ace often fought on the front line. He didn't even know how many people he had saved.

Although he only went to sea with Sister Taoyao when he got up early and was not strong enough, there were many times!

In addition, during that time, Ace had been playing a soy sauce character most of the time, so he was not very impressed by the people he and Taoyao saved from the pirates at that time.

of course.

The most important thing is that the feeling Monroe gives me now is so special.

Monroe's facial features can only be called exquisite. Although she is not a great beauty, such a great beauty should have left an impression on him even when she was a child.

Not to mention, Monroe's extremely clear eyes can leave a deep impression in an instant.

If he had ever seen such a pair of eyes, Ace could guarantee that he would have no impression of Monroe at all.

Just when Ace began to wonder if Monroe was lying to him, he happened to catch a glimpse of the nun's uniform she was wearing and the crescent moon pattern tattooed on the cuffs of the nun's uniform.

Ace had a flash of inspiration in vain, and an incredible thought flashed through his mind, and he said in great surprise: "You can't be the crying little nun on that ship!"

Crying little nun! ! ! !

The smile on Monroe's face couldn't help but stagnate.

So in his impression, am I just a little nun who loves to cry?

So angry!

But this guy hasn’t completely forgotten me after all!

Although she was a little angry in her heart, Monroe could only comfort herself in this way.

"That's right, the crying little nun you mentioned is me. If you hadn't saved Sister Ina and me, we might have died long ago, and our end might even be worse than death... In short Thank you for saving me!"

Ace waved his hand: "No need to thank me. It was mainly Sister Taoyao who got rid of the group of pirates who captured you. If you want to thank me, just thank him."

"Of course I want to thank Colonel Taoyao for your kindness, but if you hadn't killed the pirate who wanted to bury us before he died, we would still have died, so I still have to thank you! "

"Haha, is that so? I even forgot about it!!!!"

···············

Looking at Monroe and Ace who suddenly started chatting.

Famine Knight Perkins, who was originally on guard, with eyes full of worry, and Samuda, who came quickly, froze on the spot, with eyes full of confusion!

Your Highness the Saint... Do you know this navy?

Moreover, this guy once saved Her Highness the Saint?

This, this is too incredible!

Compared with the surprise of the two of them, Sister Mary, who followed Monroe down, was surprised, but also a little enlightened.

So, was it the little Monroe who he saved in the first place?

When Monroe and Ina were kidnapped by pirates, the priests and nuns in Moonlight Monastery were frightened to death.

Fortunately.

It didn't take long for the navy to send the two men back.

Although Mary had vaguely heard the name Ace from Monroe before, she had never thought that the Ace was the Ace in front of them now.

After all, although the name Ace is not common, it is not uncommon either.

That's why.

She had only told Monroe to be careful about Ace before.

If she had known that Ace was Monroe's savior when she was a child, she wouldn't have done anything like this.
