Comic series: Starting from Pirates to Cultivate the True Self

"Shua~shua~shua~"

While running away, Ace kept picking up stones from the ground and throwing them at Luo Meng.

It seemed that he felt that he could not defeat Luo in close combat, so he used long-range attacks to harass him.

These stones disappeared instantly when they were less than half a meter away from Luo, and turned into various fruits or small cakes.

Luo slowly took the food from the plate, and frowned slightly as he looked at Ace who was about to run out of the limit of the force field.

If you maintain the force field within the extreme distance range, you will not be able to hold on for long with your own physical strength. Once you lose your strength, you will lose.

The "room" has also been cancelled at the moment.

"You're not just going to throw things around like a little rascal, are you?"

When Ace heard Luo's ridicule, he also stopped, turned around and looked at Luo.

He keenly noticed that the invisible transparent cover had disappeared. He grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Then don't cry later!"

After saying that, he pulled out the steel pipe from behind and quickly approached Luo. His rapid speed did not seem like that of a 13-year-old child at all.

The two of them fought back and forth for a while. Luo was still very sensible. After all, Ace was younger than him, so he did not use the Chunjun Sword behind him.

He fought Ace entirely with his physical body, and mostly focused on defense, trying his best to let Ace show Mo Xingchen his fighting skills.

However, Law also admired Ace's talent from the bottom of his heart. After all, he could not compare with him at his age.

It was at this moment of distraction that Ace seized the opportunity and hit him in the face with a steel pipe, sending him flying.

Law, who fell to the ground, rubbed his cheeks and sat down slowly without getting up. With practical actions, he openly acknowledged Ace's victory.

Of course he could still continue fighting, and if he showed no mercy, he could even beat Ace to a pulp, but there was no point in that, it was just a joke between children.

...

...

When Ace saw Law admit defeat, he happily ran over and high-fived Luffy to celebrate.

Of course Ace was not stupid. He could see that Law was willing to let him go. After all, he had not used the sword behind him yet.

So after celebrating with Luffy, Ace walked up to Law, held out his hand to him, with a bright smile on his face.

Luo was also stunned, smiled, and high-fived him.

This is how children’s relationships are; they dislike each other one second, and play happily together the next.

Three children sat around the campfire, drinking milk and whispering about their own topics.

"My name is Portgas D. Ace, and this is my brother, Monkey D. Luffy. We'll be good friends from now on!"

"OK, all right."

Law answered coldly, but he looked at Luffy for a second.

This child must be Vice Admiral Garp's grandson. When he was at the Navy Headquarters, Marshal Sengoku always made it clear to himself that he must be better than Garp's grandson in the future.

The identity of this kid Ace should not be simple.

However, Luo did not ask. After all, it would be quite rude to ask these questions abruptly to a friend you just met.

"You are very good. When I grow up, let's fight again! I will definitely be able to beat you."

"Uh....that's not necessary."

Seeing Ace holding the milk and handing it to him, Luo answered casually.

But I was thinking: Fighting is such a hassle.

"Luo, why did you join the navy?"

Luffy asked incoherently while gnawing on a large bone stick.

"If I had dared to say I wanted to be a pirate with your uncle holding a sword to my neck, the grass on my grave would probably be taller than yours now!"

"Ha! No way! My uncle is a very easy person to talk to!"

Ace retorted in disbelief.

Luo just curled his lips, took a sip of milk and said nothing.

Him? Easy to talk to? Why don’t you interview the pirates in the first half of the Grand Line and see what they say!

That's because you didn't see the scene where he almost scared Doflamingo, the perverted pirate leader, to death.

You two also come from good backgrounds. If you have seen him slaughtering pirates and have not been frightened and suffered psychological trauma, you can be considered strong.

Luffy, with his mouth full of food, continued to ask like a hamster:

"But...isn't being a pirate free?"

Luo blinked and thought for a while before answering:

“I don’t know if pirates represent freedom, but I once heard Uncle Mo say something.

He said: Freedom should be to live as one pleases under a good order.

Unordered arbitrariness will only breed evil. After all, the moral conscience of the vast majority of people is not enough to support such freedom. "

Ace lowered his head and pondered after hearing this. Luffy, as expected of a Monkey family member, picked his nose with a shit-like expression and asked carelessly:

"What do you mean?"

Law organized his words and slowly explained to Luffy,

"Perhaps some pirates' original intention was to go out to sea for freedom, without being constrained or oppressed.

But when they got used to getting something for nothing, robbing, killing and setting fire to houses, they gradually became the scum in the sea.

Because I used to be a pirate and have been following the navy for the past few years, I have seen too many people like this,

I think this is what Uncle Mo said, their temperament cannot support such freedom, and they will eventually become evil. "

"I will never be that kind of person!"

Luffy swallowed the food in his mouth with great effort and shouted out his thoughts.

...

...

Ace pondered for a long time, then suddenly stood up and said to Mo Xingchen:

"Uncle, let me follow you. Even for a while!"

He felt that by following Mo Xingchen and receiving his education, he might not have to go out to sea to look for the answers he wanted.

Moreover, Ace was extremely certain in his heart that the answer he got was absolutely correct, more correct than the answer he got from seeing it with his own eyes or looking for it in person.

Mo Xingchen smiled and rejected Ace.

"It's just that you were born at the wrong time. If you were a few years earlier, you would be as old as you are now, and I would have taken care of you. But now I can't."

"Uncle, I don't understand!"

"Tsk, Luo! Take off your shirt!"

Upon hearing this, Luo quickly took off his shirt, revealing his body with six-pack abs.

Everyone was shocked when they saw Luo's exposed upper body, especially Ace, whose pupils dilated.

They never imagined that Luo, a 16-year-old boy, had scars all over his body, and some of the scars looked fatal.

“Three years ago, when Law was only 3, he wanted to follow my fleet, so he was in the first half of the Grand Line, capturing pirates.

From his injuries, we can see how fierce the battle was.

Ace, think about how old you were three years ago. I believe you can hold on, but don't forget the follower behind you.

If I take you on board, Luffy will definitely make a scene too. How old will he be then? Are you sure he can adapt to such a fight?"

Ace was silent. Indeed, he had confidence, but Luffy was only 7 years old at that time, and going through such a battle was simply seeking death.

Ace still asked with some reluctance:

"What about now? Why doesn't it work now?"
