Pirate: Seven generations of Uzumaki Naruto on!

After being speechless, Zoro looked at Luffy and said, "Luffy, Ace has been suppressing you and beating you when he didn't eat the Devil Fruit.

"Now that you have completed your Devil Fruits and the three-year age gap is still there, wouldn't it mean that you still can't beat Ace?"

Luffy nodded: "That's what he said. But if you haven't fought before, who knows?!"

Although in terms of data.

As he became stronger, Ace also became stronger, and the gap in Devil Fruit was also made up. So the three years of training time would not be able to make up for it in the short term.

But as long as I haven’t fought yet...

Luffy has unparalleled confidence.

Of course, many strong people in this world are like this. Unless they receive a severe beating, no one will feel weaker.

There are many people who remain confident even after being severely beaten.

People like Crocodile who were beaten to the point of doubting their lives are only an exception. Of course, there is nothing that can be done about it. Who asked him to choose nightmare difficulty not long after his debut - Whitebeard, who was not very old at the time...

It is normal for a strong man to have his heart broken.

Even Whitebeard, who had started to fight with bottles two years ago, surrendered to Ace.

However, Ace's surrender had little to do with a strong heart or anything like that. It was purely because he was not as determined to win the Pirate King as Luffy was, and he valued more what he didn't have.

Today, he was still thinking of passing on the flames to let Luffy understand the atmosphere of the [Whitebeard Pirates], but he gave up after being rejected.

Looking at Luffy's confident look, Ace smiled and said, "If there is a chance another day, we can fight again. I have to make up for my negligence this time."

Nami asked: "Are you referring to the traitor?"

Ace nodded: "Yes."

"Judging from what Dalton and others said, that group has been gone for a long time. There is not much difference between a little longer and a little less. Why don't we have a meal first! Our team has a dedicated intelligence officer. Maybe it can be of some help.”

"Hahaha - okay, I'm a little hungry."

Ace didn't refuse anymore and wanted to know about Luffy's situation.

soon.

In a warm room.

Luffy ate the barbecue.

Nami helped introduce: "I still remember when I first met Luffy, he had nothing, but he was very approachable and had a clear goal, which made us all willing to go to sea together.

"Me, Usopp, Naruto and the others will provide logistics. Although Luffy doesn't know many things, he is very reliable if he does his part well.

"On this ship, we all perform our duties, and everyone does his or her best to ensure that no matter what kind of wind, waves and dangers we encounter, we can move forward bravely and break through numerous obstacles."

During Nami's talk.

Ace looked at Luffy who was eating and drinking, and said with emotion: "I can see that Luffy is thanks to you for taking care of him.

"Having such a stupid brother...

"My brother is very worried!

"There's nothing you can do against him!"

He smiled, although he looked helpless, but he also looked happy.

Maybe it’s because of education.

In terms of temperament and pursuits, Ace is not like his father, but more like Whitebeard, which is why he surrenders so easily.

Luffy ate the meat and corrected, "No, I take good care of myself."

Zoro and Sanji looked at each other and reached a rare consensus.

It's just that Luffy's brother is indeed much more reliable than Luffy himself.

of course.

Even if Ace seems more reliable, the Whitebeard Pirates, after introduction, are currently recognized as powerful, which does not prevent them from continuing to follow this idiot captain.

There is no reason to change flags after getting on board, unless you have bad intentions from the beginning.

at this time.

Seeing that Ace finally stayed here to eat for the time being and did not leave in a hurry, Nami then inquired about the traitor and did not even try to whitewash Luffy's image for the time being.

Anyway, Ace seems to have a deep understanding of his younger brother.

"Since Whitebeard is the strongest man, under his command, there should be very few defectors under normal circumstances! Unless he has ambitions that surpass him, or has a dark heart or something."

After talking about this matter.

Ace's originally kind expression also turned cold, and he said with anger: "This is my fault, and I didn't expect that guy Teach to dare to violate the taboos of the [Whitebeard Pirates] and kill his companions!

"I heard that he now calls himself Blackbeard. According to you, he has also recruited a few powerful companions?

“But as his former captain, after he made the unforgivable mistake of killing his companions, I absolutely have to solve this matter!

"Otherwise I won't go back!"

Luffy stopped eating and said angrily: "That guy... killed his comrades?"

Seeing that he and Ace shared the same hatred, Nami reminded: "Since killing companions is taboo, then there must be interests that are difficult to break away from behind this matter, and if this person is deliberately planning it, it also means that he may Hidden cards.

"What if you rush in rashly alone and are outflanked by others?"

"That can't be helped. After all, he is my former subordinate. Of course, I have to solve it."

Ace said nonchalantly.

It could be seen that he was very confident, so Nami spoke again and reminded: "I know that his Blackbeard performance may have been mediocre.

"But precisely because he was mediocre in the past and then suddenly broke out, it shows that he may have been hiding his clumsiness before, and finally chose to commit murder and defect for some benefit.

"Having the courage to resist Whitebeard may mean that even if he can't defeat Whitebeard yet, he may have the ambition to surpass Whitebeard in his heart."

Ace said disdainfully: "Is Tikki, the guy who killed his companions, worthy of surpassing Whitebeard?"

"It's just speculation that he might have such ambitions."

Nami did not overestimate Blackbeard's strength, but speculated, "Maybe the ordinary team members are just a cover for his past.

"If Blackbeard actually has captain-level strength and recruits more troops, it will really be difficult for you, the captain, to capture him.

"Even if he hides a little deeper, maybe..."

Ace reflected and said, "Do you think I might be killed by him?"

Nami nodded: "It's not impossible. There are too many surprises in doing things alone on this sea."

"Hahaha - maybe Blackbeard is hiding his clumsiness! But you may not know enough about my strength."

Eishero laughed, not too concerned about the danger of Blackbeard.

After all, an ordinary team member, no matter how clumsy he is, will inevitably become a real pig after being with a pig for a long time, and he will indeed not be looked down upon by Ace.

"What's more, even between captains, there is a gap in strength!"

What he said was not arrogance, but confidence from the bottom of his heart.

Although Ace couldn't even touch Whitebeard who was sleeping when he fought with Whitebeard, this had nothing to do with Ace's strength, it was simply that Whitebeard was too strong.

It would be the same if it were anyone else.

"I don't have too much doubt about your strength. At any rate, you have been fighting for Luffy." Nami said this sincerely.

She understands how powerful Luffy is. In the few months since he first left the sea, there has been essentially no transformation in strength, and his growth is limited.

But apart from the losses she suffered during attribute restraint, Nami had never seen an enemy that Luffy couldn't defeat.

And Luffy like this...

Before going to sea, he had never defeated Ace who had not eaten the fruit before, not even once. This shows that Ace is not three years older than Luffy in vain.

After confirming Ace's strength, Nami turned around and said: "But.

"Just like you are three years older than Luffy and it's hard for him to resist when you hit him, Blackbeard must be many years older than you!

"Ace, has your strength really reached the peak of your life now?

"If you have not reached the peak of your own strength, it means that you are still in the rising stage. Why do you think that you, who are still in the rising stage, can not be afraid of everyone except Whitebeard? It's because they are not person?"

Ace nodded: "Yes, I am much stronger now than I was two years ago, and if nothing else happens, I will indeed be stronger in the future.

“But I have already made the decision to pursue Blackbeard, and I will never be timid to retreat just because of possible dangers.

"Thank you for your concern, but Blackbeard... I must take him back to apologize to Whitebeard!"

Luffy put down his bones and asked, "Will Ace lose?"

Since defeating the King of Offshore.

Luffy has always been very confident in his own strength. Even so, he still recognized Ace's strength.

Nami shook her head slightly: "I don't know, it's just that Blackbeard has already killed his companion once, so he shouldn't mind killing him again if there is a chance.

"Ace has the right time, right place, and no one has the upper hand. If he is defeated by his opponent, he may die.

"Pirates... still need companions to do things."

Luffy stood up quickly and said excitedly: "Will he die?!"

Ace smiled and said: "Sit down, sit down, pirates go to sea, no one is afraid of death, they don't even have the awareness to face death, so why go to sea?

"It's just a black beard! He has been mediocre for so many years. Even if he is a pretender, he has become a real one now."

Ace really didn't look down on this kind of timid and secretly calculating guy.

"But the pirates you can easily defeat now, could you handle them ten years ago?" Nami was still a little worried and did not give up her persuasion immediately, "Not being afraid of death is two different things than not using the help you have.

"If it was an accident that could have been avoided but was not avoided, then Luffy should be sad!

"Keeping your life is not just for yourself, but also for your family who care about you."

These words were Nami's personal feelings.

The more emotional a person is, the more likely it will be more uncomfortable for someone close to him to die than for him to die.

Judging from the meeting between Ace and Luffy, the relationship between them should be quite good.

but.

After all, Blackbeard has been pretending to be a pig for too long, and it is difficult for people to be wary.

In particular, Ace really couldn't save his dignity and asked for help.

He explained: "Thank you for your concern, Luffy has indeed found a group of good companions.

“But I was too far away from the team and it was my mistake and I couldn’t let the other captains take responsibility for it.

"I promise you that no matter what, I will not die in this incident."

Having said that, Ace still didn't think he would die, and couldn't imagine what Teach could do to him.

Or maybe Nami and others are newcomers to the [Grand Line] after all, so they don’t know his strength?

After thinking for a while, Ace said to Luffy: "I just happened to have eaten, so I won't miss it for a while. Are you interested in another fight? Luffy."

Luffy said excitedly: "Okay!

"Ace, I am not the person I was before. The person I am now! I am quite strong!!"

After a full meal, a passionate battle can be used as a warm-up exercise.

The brothers haven't seen each other for many years, and they need such a battle to adjust their relationship.

Watching their retreating figures.

Usopp judged: "Is it to ease Luffy's heart? But if he can suppress Luffy all the time, he will become a stronger brother now, right?"

Nami put down the tableware and said, "Are you going to watch the battle too?"

Zoro nodded: "I want to give it a try."

In fact, he wanted to start a fight.

Luffy's brother, judging from today's exchange, should be a monster-like guy as strong as him.

It would be so exciting to be able to fight against such a person.

soon.

Nami, Zoro and others rushed to the edge of the battlefield, saying they wanted to cheer for Luffy, but also wanted to see the strength of his older brother.

In ice and snow.

Luffy was still wearing some equipment to keep warm, but Ace was shirtless and didn't care about the temperature on Drum Island at all.

Department of Nature.

It never goes out of style no matter what time it is.

Even with domineering as a balance, the fact that each of the three navy generals is a natural ability user still shows how powerful this ability is.

If you retreat, you can guarantee the bottom and defeat those who are not domineering. If you advance, you can strive to compete with the top players. The upper and lower limits are ridiculously high.

With a confident smile, Ace stood in the distance and said calmly: "You can strike first, brother.

"Let me see how much you've grown over the years."

Luffy smiled and said, "That should surprise you!

"I am quite strong now! Look at the moves, rubber rubber - rocket launcher!"

As soon as the battle started, Luffy showed considerable speed and strength, and his fists fell like raindrops.

After giving full play to the ductility of rubber.

Luffy, who is less than 1.8 meters tall, looks like he is 18 meters tall, and the distance between his fists is very long.

In the wind of fists, Ace dodged left and right. When he wanted to test Luffy in school, he only used physical skills for the time being.

It can be seen that compared to three years ago, he is indeed much stronger now, and his strength and speed are not the same as before.

"Yes, he is indeed my brother. It seems that the bounty you got when you first went to sea is not watery."

He praised Luffy's strength.

However, it was this kind of calm praise that further demonstrated how powerful he was at the moment, and even had some energy left, which seemed unfathomable.

"This speed actually doesn't seem to be much worse than Crowe's back then!"

Zoro observed Ace's pace attentively and judged, "And compared to specifically increasing his speed, it's more like he just increased his dodge speed normally!"

Sanji nodded: "As expected of someone who can overwhelm Luffy and beat him without eating a Devil Fruit. He even seems to have not used the Devil Fruit's ability yet."

Usopp was shocked: "Is this the legendary Whitebeard Pirates? Even a captain can have such strength..."

Nami observed for a while and asked: "Approximately how long will they fight?

"It seems that Ace has been hiding. It looks like Luffy is gaining the upper hand!"

"That's an opportunity his brother is giving him to show off." Sanji puffed out a puff of smoke and said in surprise, "Wait a minute, will Ace really make a move...

"Luffy doesn't have a chance to resist!"

This seems to be the reason why Ace never really dodges.

But between him and Luffy——

Is there really such a big gap? !

While they were talking, Luffy no longer used this kind of wide-open and wide-open moves. Instead, he used Taijutsu to fight Ace head-on, as if he was back in the previous battle.

boom!

After the two got entangled, Luffy immediately flew out, covering his head and shouting in pain: "How could-"

"Your fist can hurt me no matter what!"

Ace stood there and said: "Continue, I think your progress should go beyond this. I hope you can force me to use the power of the Burning Fruit."

"okay!"

Luffy stood up again, full of energy, not discouraged by his temporary collapse!
