I am brushing up materials in One Piece

After leaving the old woman's place, Kos went to Michal's house again. After waiting for a while and no one came back, he left.

On the way back to the port, Cos found Deus in the commercial street holding a large bag of things and making purchases.

"Are you done?"

Deus asked.

"It's nothing too troublesome. I just went to see two acquaintances to say goodbye."

Kos took the bag from Dios' hand, looked at the miscellaneous items inside and asked,

"Is there anything else you haven't bought?"

Deus thought for a while with his fingers and then replied: "The most important recording pointer and the necessary vitamin chewable tablets for long-distance voyages are all there. The medical supplies in case of emergencies are also replenished. The rest is food supplies." ”

"Then let's go together!"

Although food supplies were easy to buy, they were large in quantity. It was not easy for Deus to carry them to the ship alone.

When the two of them bought dried meat and rice noodles and seasonings and returned to the ship, they found that Ace had just returned to the port, carrying a large barrel of wine.

"Isn't there a lot of rum in stock on the ship? Why did you buy another barrel?"

Deuce seemed a little unhappy.

Because of the seawater distillation device made by Deus, the Spade Pirates do not actually need to rely on alcoholic drinks to replenish their water. In addition, Deus, as a doctor, believes that excessive drinking is not good for physical and mental health, so the Gray Pearl does not Not much storage space for wine.

"This one is different."

Ace said, patting his shoulder and carrying the barrel.

"This is a high-end product that I have been looking for for a long time. I plan to use it as a meeting gift to greet a certain pirate."

"greet?"

Deus was wondering which pirate made Ace, a guy like Ace who was a bit arrogant to say the least, so polite.

"That pirate is my brother's savior, and he is also the leader who guides him on the road to becoming a pirate, so at least when we first meet him, I still hope to treat him with courtesy."

Ace explained, probably thinking of Luffy as he slightly raised the corners of his mouth, while Kos frowned.

There is no doubt that the pirate Ace wants to entertain with the wine is Shanks, one of the four emperors. In addition to the relationship between Ace and Shanks, there is also Roger, the father and son of the two. The captain's person serves as a link.

The reason why Kos frowned was also very simple - he had recently destroyed the Bucky Pirates, and even personally sent Bucky to the bottom of the sea. If nothing else, the red-nosed clown was already dead.

The friendship between Bucky and Shanks is not just childhood sweethearts, but also happy enemies. No matter how free and easy Shanks is, he may not look good when facing the enemy who killed his former best friend.

But that will be a long time in the future, at least until they enter the new world before they meet Shanks, so Kos didn't worry for long before the expression on his face relaxed.

After having a reasonable explanation, Ace's behavior of bringing wine on board was also approved by Deuce.

"Also, I have found a new companion!"

After boarding the Gray Pearl, Ace said proudly,

"We agreed to meet at the execution platform later."

"New member?"

Costo held his chin and nodded. There really should be a few more people on the ship. Three people were really not enough when encountering an emergency during the voyage.

The only thing he worried about was that Ace would be unkind to someone he met, or that the other person would be too lazy to do anything despite being incompetent. His attitude toward his co-voyaging partner, Cos, was that he would rather be in need than excess.

"What kind of person is that?"

Deus asked this important question for himself and Cos.

"He's very interesting. He can shoot the bird in the sky when it opens its mouth and shoot the bullet through the bird's mouth. The bird that falls to the ground will have no other injuries except vomiting blood from its mouth."

Ace said with joy.

Both Kos and Deus nodded. At least from this point of view, the man's strength was good, and no one among the three could use a gun (except Ace's musket), which could make up for his shortcomings.

"And what's even better is that his dream is so powerful. He said he wants to bring the opportunity to study to children at the end of the world. It's really a great dream."

"It was him!"

Kos immediately understood that the new companion Ace was talking about was Michal. After all, there was probably no other person in this world who would have such a dream that was incompatible with the world but worthy of respect.

"Kesi, do you know that person?"

After seeing Kos's reaction, Deuce turned his attention away from Ace. He thought it would be more reliable to listen to what Kos said rather than the excited Ace.

"How, is it trustworthy?"

"Don't worry, that guy is a good person."

Coase explained,

"Didn't I just tell you to say goodbye to acquaintances? Michal is one of them, but I didn't meet him."

After getting Kos's affirmation, Dios finally felt at ease.

"That's good. It's always a good thing to have another reliable companion."

"But why do we need to meet at the execution platform? Can't we just let him come directly to the port and get on the ship?"

Originally, Kos planned to leave immediately without wasting any more time, so he was a little bit critical of Ace and Michal's agreement to meet at the execution platform.

"Because I want to go to the place where that bastard died with my most important companion, and tell that bastard who has never seen me that I will definitely surpass him."

Ace grabbed Deus's shoulder with his left hand, pulled Kos over with his right hand, and said firmly,

"Absolutely!"

Faced with Ace's request, what else could Deuss and Kos do but accept it happily.

So after placing the purchased supplies, the three of them disembarked and headed to the landmark building in Rogge Town - the Pirate King's execution platform.

"Is this where the guy spent his last moments?"

There was no sadness or joy on Ace's face as he looked up at the execution platform.

Because Kos had stayed in Rogge Town for a long time, he no longer had much novelty about the execution platform, so he just stood aside quietly.

Deus, on the other hand, took out the black-covered notebook and wrote excitedly, probably recording what he saw and felt as material to accumulate.

And just when Kos wanted to sneak his head over to see what Deus had written, Ace jumped up and climbed onto the execution platform.

"Ai..."

Cos wanted to tell Ace to come down quickly so as not to attract too much attention, but when he spoke, he saw a group of marines coming towards him on the opposite street, and by coincidence, the person leading the group was Smoker.

"That one over there, come down quickly and don't get on the execution platform at will."

Smoker saw Ace looking at the execution platform at a glance, and then scolded him sharply.

Ace jumped off the execution platform, landed in front of Smoker, took off his hat and bowed in salute.

"I'm sorry, because I really want to know what that bastard saw in the last moments of his life."

"Asshole? This is quite suitable for the title of Pirate King, but not many people can think like this now."

Smoker took a long drag on his cigar and patted Ace's shoulder with great satisfaction.

"Boy, what's your name?"
