Pirate: I, destroy the engine

gobi desert.

The desert is solitary.

A bonfire was lit under a huge rock wall.

Fike bought firewood and wine in the city, and Ace hunted a large lizard.

The two of them started a banquet in the Gobi desert.

There were only two of them, but they cooperated tacitly.

Ace lit the fire, and when the wind blew, the meat was almost done.

Sprinkle the ingredients on it, the aroma will spread, and the golden fat will be reduced, which will greatly increase your appetite.

"I don't know why, but when I was hunting just now, I was suddenly struck by lightning."

Ace picked up a large piece of meat, bit it until his mouth was full of oil, and said vaguely:

"Tell me, this is really strange! It doesn't rain all year round in Alabasta, so how can there be thunder and lightning?"

"What's even more strange is that the thunder actually hit me directly on the head, as if it was aimed at me."

Ace was quite depressed. He had never been struck by lightning before, and this was the first time.

In this desert, in the empty and uninhabited land, it could hit him straight.

Although it doesn't work, something seems wrong.

What was wrong, he couldn't tell.

"That's weird. Maybe it's going to rain in Alabasta too!"

Fike's expression did not change, but he nodded seriously.

Yes, this was a sign of rain, it had nothing to do with him.

Luffy is coming soon, the rainy day is coming in Alabasta, thunder is normal!

"Forget it, thunder is a common thing."

Ace was not too entangled and talked about other things:

"When I came back, I encountered quicksand. If I hadn't run fast, the food would have been gone!"

Fick nodded, expressing his sympathy for Ace's experience and saying nothing.

Fick ate a lot of meat and drank a lot, but he didn't feel any guilt at all.

Anyway, with Ace's elementalization ability, he can't die.

Not letting Ace continue to complain, Fike changed the subject:

"Aren't you chasing Blackbeard? Is there anything wrong with staying in Alabasta?"

Even though he knew what he was asking, Fike couldn't think of any good topics to talk about.

After all, it was the first time we met, so there were some things we couldn't talk about.

"I have a younger brother, you should know that!"

Talking about this, Esco became interested and beamed:

"It's Luffy, has Grandpa ever mentioned it to you?"

"That little idiot has been clamoring to be the Pirate King. He was beaten up by grandpa a lot!"

Thinking about Luffy's previous embarrassments, Ace couldn't help laughing.

"Yeah! I've heard that the redhead broke an arm for him."

After humming, Fick also smiled.

A red-haired man lost his arm in the East China Sea. This huge hole cannot be filled back.

"Luffy also went to sea at the age of 17. I'm waiting for him here to meet him."

After laughing for a while, Ace's eyes were filled with memories:

"I haven't seen him in three years! I don't know if Luffy's strength has improved."

Ace was really worried about this reckless brother.

With Luffy's temperament, he must often cause trouble to others, and he doesn't know what his crew is like.

"Speaking of which, because grandpa often talks about you, Luffy is very dissatisfied with you!"

Ace looked at Fick and said sheepishly:

"Luffy said before that I will definitely defeat you when I go to sea and prove myself to grandpa."

"You are obviously only one year apart, but there is a huge gap in strength!"

"When you see Luffy in the future, just treat him as an idiot and ignore some of the stupid things he says."

With a hint of pleading in his eyes, Ace vaccinated Fick in advance.

Fick is also in Alabasta and will meet Luffy sooner or later.

That idiot Luffy will definitely provoke Fike, so it won't end badly when the time comes.

"Hmm! No problem."

Fike agreed generously.

Even if Ace didn't mention it, for Garp's sake, he couldn't touch Luffy!

Not to mention him, among the navy's top brass, besides Akainu, who wouldn't give Garp face?

Sengoku's palm strike only made Luffy vomit blood, and then he acted like nothing happened.

The water was released, so why didn't Malinfando get submerged?

Blackbeard's group, who were also slapped by Sengoku and vomited blood, said, "Together we are barely equal to one Luffy."

"Haha, I feel like you will be pissed off by Luffy."

Ace laughed again and drank happily.

Then, the two of them chatted about interesting things in all directions without mentioning any serious matters.

Until late at night, the two big eaters ate a whole big lizard and drank five or six barrels of wine before finishing.

Without choosing a place or preparing a tent, the two of them fell asleep leaning against the rock wall.

Late at night, Fike was woken up by the sound of a phone bug in his arms.

He opened his eyes and took out the phone bug unhappily. Just as he was about to hang up, the phone bug simulated the face of a blue pheasant.

After looking at Ace who was still sleeping soundly, Fick jumped far away and then connected.

"Uncle Qingzhi, not everyone sleeps during the day like you."

After being connected, Fick rolled his eyes and complained.

This was also the case before. When Aokiji was not at the Navy Headquarters, every time he contacted him, it was late at night.

This man who wears an eye patch during the day never seems to sleep at night.

"Sorry, sorry."

Qing Pheasant's unapologetic voice came and he turned to the topic seriously:

"Mr. Sengoku asked me to ask you, how is the situation now?"

It can be heard that Aokiji is in good spirits and does not feel as sleepy as during the day.

Fike rolled his eyes to the sky, speechless and helpless.

This old guy from the Warring States Period can't see him well.

A social beast who often works overtime until late at night, a night owl who sleeps during the day, tortures a normal person like him.

If it weren't for the fear of being deducted from wages again, this phone bug would have to be thrown away.

"Everything is normal, I'm still investigating."

Fick grumbled crazily in his heart and gave a brief reply.

Just a little research, if it wasn't for the salary, he wouldn't have come to Alabasta.

This is Luffy's BOSS, what does it have to do with him?Grabbing monsters?

"That's good, do you need my help?"

Qingzhi didn't ask any more questions, and asked in a polite tone.

"Ha ha."

Fike was even more helpless and could only spit out two words.

Can he answer this question?

It's like going home from get off work with a colleague, and they politely ask, "How about I treat you to a meal?"

Are you willing to agree to this?

Qing Pheasant is willing to come and has already set off, so why bother asking him?

"Well! Then I can rest assured."

Qing Pheasant didn’t care what Fick’s attitude was, he just pretended not to hear:

"By the way, you haven't slacked off in your practice recently, right? Has your strength increased?"

After talking about business, Qing Zhi asked about personal matters again.

Aokiji obviously cares more about Fike himself than some nonsense.

"Besides, your kid didn't let himself go outside, did he?"

"You know, there are many temptations out there, you have to hold on, you know?"

"Strength is the most important thing now. When you return to the Navy, I will personally protect your relationship."

What Qingzhi is most worried about is that Fike can't resist the temptation and does mischief outside.

After all, Fike has just come of age, and is at the peak of his youth.

Fike laughed angrily and hung up the phone directly.

Media protection?

Just Qing Pheasant?

No kidding, an older single.
