After leaving the uninhabited island, they passed another island, and the ship seemed to be heading in one direction with purpose.

"Where are we going?" Violet said, while Skaar was at the helm, swinging his skull mask leisurely.

Kodaz and Wores were sitting on the side of the ship, and everyone was doing their own work. Ace was the captain, sitting on the bow of the ship with one hand on his cross-legged thigh, looking into the distance.

Even if it is not announced to the public, Violet has defined herself as the chef of the Spade Pirates. After all, the men can't cook at all, and Bonsi can only add salt. But if there is a fight, Violet will bear the brunt.

There were attempts to let everyone on the ship try to cook for a day, but the result was often a waste of ingredients, and in serious cases, the kitchen was blown up, making Bonsi, who was in charge of the ship's finances, want to pull out his sword and slice them into pieces.

"Well Violet, the food you cook is really delicious! Please let us eat the food you cook every day. This is my lifelong request, please!"

So, with Violet's acquiescence, she became a cook. Ace even secretly asked her what she thought about this. She no longer cared about that and told him with a smile that if she met an enemy because she ate every day, If you don’t have enough delicious food to eat and don’t have the energy to be defeated, it’s too cheap.

Moreover, there is nothing wrong with being a cook. You don’t have to clean up after cooking. Someone takes turns washing the dishes every day. You are only responsible for cooking. You still have free time to exercise on weekdays.

Back at this time, everyone in the Spade Pirates was waiting on the deck. Michal was sitting on the side of the ship holding a book, looking at the surrounding environment from time to time, and then lowering his head to read a book.

"Huh? Didn't the captain say anything? Oh, you weren't here yet," Skar told Violet about the original plan of the Spade Pirates before she boarded the ship. "Originally, they planned to go find Yonko Kurenai. It was sent to the pirates, but the captain said that there was still something that had to be done, and it was postponed even before it was completed. Now that you are here, we are about to set off to find someone."

Red hair……

"Red-haired Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, why would Ace go to him?"

Skaar shrugged his shoulders, moved his neck and pointed at the person in front of him, gesturing for her to ask herself.

-

"Ace."

Violet came to the bow of the boat and stood next to Ace. Her soft black hair fell on her shoulders, causing an itch. She looked at Ace who turned his head so that his black hair was closer to her skin. , her tone was as gentle as ever, "I heard Skarr said, next we are going to find the red-haired Yonko?"

Ace nodded with half-closed eyes, "Well, doesn't everyone know...ah, I forgot, that was before I picked you up." After a pause, Ace remembered that Violet didn't know about this yet, and explained , "According to the news in the newspaper, the red-haired pirates are currently on Snow Island. If we rush there now, we might encounter them."

"You want to challenge him?"

"No, no, have you forgotten? The red hair is the pirate Shanks that Luffy always talked about in his ears when he was a child."

After Ace reminded her, Violet's memory also recovered.

When he was a child, Luffy admired a pirate named Shanks.

"In order to express his care for Luffy, as an older brother, I have to come to thank him personally. This is what an older brother should do, isn't it?"

Ace lowered his orange cowboy hat that was blown up by the wind, and his smile was as sweet as a child who had eaten his favorite candy.

Looking at him, Violet couldn't help but arch her eyebrows, and the smile on her lips was visible, "You are right, this is your duty as a brother."

"You too, Luffy's sister."

The ship docked at the port, and they finally arrived at Snow Island. They put on thick cloaks and walked to the cave on foot in the wind and snow.

"Hey Captain, are we really going to find that big shot?"

"That's the Four Emperors!"

Some crew members still couldn't believe it, and they tried to dissuade Ace from being impulsive.

"What if we are treated as enemies, Captain!"

Ace held down his hat that was blown up by the strong wind. Even though he was not afraid of the cold, he still wore a thick and warm cloak. Violet forced him to wear it.

Even if you eat the "Shashao Fruit", you still have to wear it if you are not afraid of the severe cold. Her attitude was very tough, but Ace had no choice but to ask her to tie the cloak straps for him.

"We are not here to challenge. If we are accidentally treated as an enemy, we can only explain after a fight." Ace said calmly, ignoring the complaining partners behind him, and took Violet's hand wrapped in cotton gloves. go ahead.

Violet didn't say anything, causing the crew members who were looking at her to howl again. They were not afraid of the Four Emperors, but they were just unequal in strength if they fought, so there was no need to fight a meaningless battle.

"Stop squealing, Kodaz is not as noisy as you. Ace is our captain, and all this has its own meaning. As subordinates, we just need to follow him." Michal picked up the plush. With the cloak on his side, he said to them without any complaint in his tone, and Kodaz let out a meow as if he understood.

"Damn it, we know, we will do whatever the captain does!"

Before arriving at the cave, Violet sensed the presence of a group of very powerful people inside. Everyone had a strong smell of blood on their bodies, especially the one surrounded in the middle, whose aura was even more intense. Harsh.

"Ace, I feel it. They are all inside. They are very strong. Be careful." Violet reminded softly.

Ace nodded and walked in at the front with the crew.

Before I even walked in, I was stared at by countless cold gazes. It was so cold that even though I was wearing thick clothes, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"The supernova of the Spade Pirates, Fire Fist Ace, have come all the way to see us?" A low, cold voice sounded. The man's hand was resting on the Griffin sword stuck in the soil, and he had short red hair. Cover your eyes, leaving a shadow.

Behind him were a dozen crew members standing with fierce expressions.

Ace was dumbfounded, watching this scene.

"Do you want to take my head?" As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere in the cave became even more tense. It was as if if they made a move, the subordinates behind the man would collectively take out their weapons, and those with wooden chambers would give them a round of bullets. , the one holding the knife made a cut.

Even Ace, as the captain, couldn't help but take a breath. He stretched out his hand and waved it in front, explaining the arrival.

"We are not here to fight. You are Red-haired Shanks. You must know Luffy, right?"

Luffy…

"Who are you?" The red-haired man took a breath and his voice became warmer.

"Luffy is my younger brother. I have always heard him talk about you. He has always said that you are his savior. He admires you very much, so as his elder brother and sister, I must come to thank you. Taking care of Luffy."

The painting style changed rapidly, the man's voice changed, and the surrounding atmosphere seemed to be thawing and exuding heat.

"Luffy's brothers and sisters, hahaha brothers, there's a party!"

shhhhh--

The flames of the fire suddenly shot up, illuminating the stunned members of the Spade Pirates.

"Hahaha, it turns out you are Luffy's brother. How is Luffy doing?" The big pirate named Shanks smiled heartily, sitting on a wooden stake and talking to Ace. He looked carefree and not at all like a Yonko. appearance.

Ace is worthy of being a captain. After being stunned, he quickly calmed down, "Eat and drink well. No one is more free than him. Every day he always talks about growing up quickly so that he can go to sea."

Shanks looked nostalgic, "I must have always been clamoring to be the Pirate King. I remember when Luffy was a little kid, he was bullied and held back his tears. The age when he gritted his teeth and said it didn't hurt has passed. I really miss him."

Vice-captain Ben Beckman mercilessly exposed his bad character, "If you didn't tease Luffy every time, he wouldn't be like that."

"Hahahaha, how can a man cry because of a trivial matter?"

"Who was the person who tricked him into eating chili peppers as a rare fruit and made him drink a large bucket of water with red lips?"

"……Forehead."

"Who told him that he could develop clairvoyance by looking at the highest mountain outside the window every morning?"

"Ahem...where's the wine! Get the wine quickly!"

Ace: "That kid Luffy, was he so unlucky as a child?" However, it is too naive to believe someone who is obviously lying.

Violet also thought of Luffy's character, and his innocent and sunny smile appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but chuckle, "It's not easy to grow into an upright adult." A group of thick and wild people A sweet voice suddenly appeared, and people who didn't know Violet immediately turned their attention to her.

Violet, who had been silent since the hole was made, received a very hot but harmless look from the other party.

Her face was calm and her voice did not tremble. She clutched the plush on her chest tightly and looked at them with bright eyes, "Why are you looking at me?"

Ace turned slightly to block most of his sight, his expression unchanged, "Is there any problem?"

"Oh you, I seem to have seen your face somewhere recently... Well, where is it, a news bird, a newspaper, a report." Shanks stared at her for a while, then slapped his head suddenly, and the look of realization made her The dark feeling is not good.

"You are the Five Hundred Pele in the newspaper!"

puff--

Both the red-haired pirate crew and the spade pirate crew all acted in unison to spit out the wine or food in their mouths.

Redhead here:

"Boss, how can you talk about other girls?"

"She has a name, and it's that Vitrie."

"Idiot, that's Violet! Don't be embarrassed."

From Ace's side:

"Vell-chan, calm down!"

"Violet is so amazing to be able to make the Four Emperors remember her!"

"...Idiot, stop talking."

The corners of Violet's mouth twitched. The image of the sea emperor, red-haired Shanks, had been shattered in her eyes.

The person in front of her was just a handsome man who was unkempt, unassuming, casual, and unshaven.

No matter it was Luffy or the red-haired one, they all made people feel helpless. Looking at their expressions, they couldn't get angry at all.

"My name is Violet, not Five Hundred Baileys, nor Violet."

Shanks was not embarrassed at all. He held the wine bucket and motioned for her to clink glasses, "Okay, Ver! Since you are also Luffy's sister, let's have a drink to celebrate the arrival of Luffy's sister!"

Violet stretched out the wine barrel and bumped it against him. She took a sip with an expressionless expression, and then felt relieved. As long as she thought of him as Luffy, her mood suddenly recovered.

"Five hundred beli is just a number. If you rely on a bounty list to define a person's strength, you will suffer a big loss." She probably got the five hundred beli because she got involved with the Spade Pirates. By the way, I didn't do anything that harmed the interests of civilians, nor did I beat up the navy, but people close to the pirates couldn't let it go lightly, so I issued this very ridiculous reward list.

These words made Shanks look at her a second time.

"It's a good thing for a little girl to have confidence. You're right. This reward list is nothing more than a cover-up. The Spade Pirates went to the East China Sea and made a big fuss in Travelisland some time ago because of you. You will have a formidable future." Making a pun, Shanks looked at the reflection in the barrel.

"As promised, Ace and I made an appointment to take me out to sea when I turn seventeen." Violet pursed her lips and smiled, just like the mood she felt on the day we reunited after a long separation.

"It's good to be young," Lu teased with a smile while chewing on a big chicken leg.

"A girl like you actually wants to be a pirate."

"This has been my dream since I was little. I have always wanted to go out on a sea adventure. It still feels like a dream until now."

Shanks laughed loudly, "Everyone has dreams, but few stick to them. If you stick to your dreams until this moment, you have won more than half of it. Cheers, for Weir's dream!"

"...Why even Mr. Shanks calls me Veer." If this continues, she will lose her real name.

"Just call me Shanks. Don't be too restrictive. A friend of a friend is a friend." He is broad-minded and does not have the air of a high-ranking person, but is approachable.

Violet thought it might be because of Luffy.

"Since you went to the East China Sea, have you ever gone to Rogge Town?" Shanks said suddenly.

Ace had been listening quietly since Violet spoke, and now he didn't want to speak.

Violet glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, but couldn't see anything unusual about him.

"We didn't go to Rogge Town. We went directly to the other direction." Violet said without changing her expression, still smiling.

"Really? It's a pity. That's the town where the pirates have made it the beginning and the end."

"I'll go and see it if I have the chance." Following Shanks' words, Violet caught the skewers handed over by Ace.

-

"I didn't expect the Yonko's red hair to be so approachable. I was scared to death at first."

"Hahaha, I saw you were shaking."

"Fuck you, I'm cold!"

"After wearing so much and wearing a thermal patch, you don't even have to make a draft of your words."

"I didn't expect that the red-haired man not only knew the captain, but also knew Miss Weier."

"Who did you call Veer?"

"The red-haired girl calls Violet sister Veil, and she also says that a friend of a friend is a friend, so if I not only call her sister Veil, but also my companion, then wouldn't I be friends with the red-haired girl!"

"It seems to make sense, Sister Weier!"

"Sister Weier, race high!"

Violet walked beside Ace, hearing the voices of her friends.

Great, now she is really sad to lose her real name.

"What's wrong, are you still thinking about what Shanks said?"

"No." Ace replied stiffly.

Violet could tell at a glance that something was wrong with him, "I'm lying. When you're in a bad mood, you talk less and have a sullen face like this."

Just like when he was a child, he clearly cared about her but was too awkward to admit it.

"Hey, hurry back to the ace of spades, it's freezing."

It's also a lie. It's obviously fire, so how can it be cold?

Violet waved to her companions behind to walk faster, and she caught up with him and kept up with him.

"Okay, no, no, I've cooked ginger soup in advance. Let's all have a bowl to warm our stomachs."

She was answered by her friends shouting her name in unison.

"Thank you, Sister Weier!"
