Comic series: Starting from Pirates to Cultivate the True Self

"Shua~shua~"

Several people suddenly jumped out from the woods on both sides of the mountain path, led by a fat woman with orange hair. She was the person Cap was looking for, Kali Dadan.

Dadan held a cigarette in his mouth, put on a fierce expression, and shouted at Garp:

"I told you, this is my territory!"

Karp stopped, which seemed to encourage Dadan's arrogance. The flesh on her neck trembled, and she said to Mo Xingchen:

"Young man, give me back my axe!"

"this one?"

Mo Xingchen weighed the axe in his hand, and Dadan nodded honestly.

“Swoosh~boom~boom!”

In a clean room, Dadan and her men were kneeling in a row, trembling. Everyone had some scratches on their bodies, and there was wine and fruit on the table in the middle of the room.

Mo Xingchen turned his head and looked at Dadan. Dadan trembled all over and fell to the ground, unable to even maintain a kneeling posture.

"I'm sorry, I'm not in a good mood today. Actually, I'm usually a very easy-going person."

Dadan forced a smile on his face and said:

"No~It's okay. We were the ones who offended first."

Then he turned to look at Karp.

"Kapp, who is this gentleman?"

"Mo Xingchen is considered my disciple and Dorag's elder brother."

Karp's casual introduction made Dadan stand up and point at Mo Xingchen and say:

"You, you, you, you...why didn't you tell me earlier! I thought you were here to destroy our navy!"

Then he sat down again, and Dadan's sitting posture changed from kneeling to sitting cross-legged carelessly. His aura instantly rose up, and he even looked more manly than Garp, and the younger brothers around him also laughed.

"What?! So he's one of us, ahahahaha! Hey you, go to the back of the house and bring Ace over here.

I originally wanted Ace to play inside the house, but he was too naughty. Last time he played with fire, he almost set the house on fire. So I let him play outside. Don't worry, there are people watching him."

Soon, Dadan's men returned to the house with a black-haired little boy with freckles all over his face.

Cap shouted happily,

"Ace! Come to Grandpa!"

Ace coolly ignored Garp and walked up to Mo Xingchen and asked:

"who are you?"

Mo Xingchen looked at this little brat who had made countless people cry, and said with a smile:

"Call me uncle!"

Ace first looked at Garp, who was nodding frantically. After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and shouted:

"uncle."

Mo Xingchen was so happy that he messed up Little Ace's smooth hair. Then he said to Dadan and the others,

"Everyone follow me down the mountain to town today for a party!"

Hearing this, Dadan showed a hint of resistance on his face, but he did not resist completely. He said in a coy manner,

"I still have……"

Mo Xingchen directly held Chunjun on his waist, put his thumb on the hilt of the sword, and drew it out of the sheath an inch.

"What I hate most is when someone makes me unhappy when I'm happy."

Dadan stood up straight instantly, looking at the confused Ace and laughing.

"Come to think of it, it seems like Ace hasn't been to town for half a year."

Ace touched his little head, his face full of confusion. He didn't understand why Dadan mentioned him when Uncle Mo was obviously calling Dadan and the others to go to the banquet.

After seeing that they had reached an agreement, Garp picked up Ace, put him on his neck, and walked down the mountain happily.

"Yohahahaha! Party! Eat meat!"

When they got to the foot of the mountain, everyone gathered around the bonfire, singing and dancing. Some sat together in groups of three or five, drinking and eating meat, while the women were busy grilling meat. Mo Xingchen saw Makino dancing happily in the crowd, so he took a glass of beer and pulled Makino to the simple platform made of wine boxes.

"Today I'm inviting everyone to dinner to thank you for taking care of my sister Makino over the years! I'll do it, you guys do whatever you want!"

As Mo Xingchen drank the beer and turned the glass upside down to indicate that there was not a drop left, the villagers, bandits and navy all cheered.

"Makino, do you want to go out to sea with me again?"

"Brother Mo, you don't have to worry about me. A few years ago, you took me to travel all over the East China Sea, and in the end, I found that I still like this place the most. I must protect the tavern that my grandfather left for me!"

Mo Xingchen rubbed Makino's head and said distressedly:

"I'm not too worried about your safety. I guess there aren't many people in this country who can beat you. So I left you some money. If it's not enough, give it to me. Eat whatever you want, buy whatever you want. When you're tired, close the store and take a rest. Don't tire yourself out, don't let yourself down, okay?"

"Yeah! Got it, bro."

Makino smiled and nodded heavily in agreement.

……

Ace was very excited when he saw the lively scene in front of him. He jumped off Garp and started to have fun in the field. He played for a long time before stopping. Perhaps he was hungry, so he moved closer to Garp. Then, seeing Garp eating and drinking without noticing him, he moved closer to Mo Xingchen and stared at the barbecue in Mo Xingchen's hand.

Mo Xingchen served him a large plate of barbecue, placed it in front of him, and carefully brought him a glass of frozen juice. Ace said coolly, "Thank you, uncle."

Then he picked up the barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth. At this time, a vague voice came to his ears, as if saying,

"Knead, knead, and roast."

Ace turned his head and looked to the side, and saw a child younger than him standing there, drooling, staring at the barbecue in his hand. Ace tried to move the barbecue in his hand, and the child moved his eyes with him. Ace grinned, but the missing front tooth affected his appearance a little.

Then he threw the barbecue into his mouth. The child frowned instantly and glared at Ace. Their eyes met. Looking at the angry look of the child in front of him, Ace smiled even more happily. Maybe he had never smiled so happily since he was born.

Ace picked up another piece of barbecue. The child who was glaring at him the last second now turned silly again, staring at the barbecue with a dull look. Ace even deliberately moved the barbecue closer to the child. The child seemed to see hope and walked over with open arms.

Then... Ace threw the barbecue into his mouth again. The little boy was stunned for 2 seconds, then he ran up and headbutted Ace directly on the nose. Ace was in so much pain that tears and snot flowed, and then the two kids started to fight each other.

Mo Xingchen just watched the interaction between the two little kids silently until this moment he could no longer hold it in, he burst into laughter and separated the two who were making a fuss.

"Ace, you should never bully people who are weaker than you, understand! And his name is Luffy, and he is also the grandson of old man Garp, so he is your brother."

"You're lying. He can't be my brother."

"Oh~ Why do you say that?"

Ace pointed at the freckles on his face and said confidently:

"He doesn't have that on his face, he doesn't look like me at all!"

"Hahahaha~"
