Pirates: I'll be with the Straw Hat Pirates in my old age

"What do you want from me?"

At this moment, on the empty deck, a figure slowly emerged from the light to the dark.

It was Yun Yi’s figure.

"Long time no see, Ace, and... Yamato!"

Under Yamato's horrified gaze, Yun Yi suddenly appeared and greeted the two with a smile, "What? Aren't you looking for me? Why are you just standing there!"

"Tell me something!"

"Ah! Yes, yes!"

Just like a little girl meeting her fans, Yamato suddenly became incoherent, turned around anxiously and looked around, then Yamato saw the mace in his hand.

Immediately, without any other thoughts, Yamato followed his heart and raised his mace horizontally towards Yun Yi.

"Yun Yi, fight with me!"

He raised the mace abruptly, but suddenly, Yamato felt that it was a bit impolite to do so, so he put the mace away in disappointment.

"Sorry, I got a little too excited!"

"It's okay, I understand." He waved his hand and produced a few glasses of fine wine, and poured himself a glass of lemon juice, then sat cross-legged with Luffy and his group.

Seeing that they were old friends meeting, Zoro, Sanji and the others tacitly made way, each taking charge of operating the Merry and starting to move forward.

"You still don't like drinking?" Ace took the wine with a big gulp after laughing.

"Well, I don't really like it, but I can still drink a few sips."

Yun Yi didn't like the feeling of being paralyzed by alcohol, which would slow down his brain's reaction. Of course, the main reason was that the alcohol was really hard to drink.

"By the way, how did you two meet? Why did you end up traveling together?"

They looked at each other, and Yamato immediately smiled and said, "Well, this story has to start from when you met me as a child."

"I'm really glad that I listened to you that year and didn't stay in Wano Country."

"After you rescued me from Kaido's captivity, I found a place and robbed a ship to go out to sea."

"Because you caused a great disturbance in Wano Country and fought a life-and-death battle with Kaido, Kaido was seriously injured. Even his men had no chance to capture me because of the civil unrest in Wano Country, so I was lucky enough to escape from Wano Country."

"Later, I continued to travel around the New World and gained more knowledge. Until one day, I met Ace's Spade Pirates at the starting point of the New World."

The starting point of the new world——Fishman Island?

Yun Yi thought about it and it seemed that he and Ace had got off the ship there.

"That day, we had a clash of domineering colors because of some trivial things, and then we became interested in each other."

“So that’s how it is!” Yun Yi nodded secretly. Domineering aura is rare to begin with, let alone among people of the same age.

Those who possess this ability must be the best among pirates. It is not surprising that two excellent people are attracted to each other.

"Then we had a fight." Ace took over the conversation, and very skillfully put his arm around Yun Yi's shoulder. Holding a wine glass in one hand, he said with a smile on his face, "Maybe it's because fighting is the beginning of friendship. Later, she taught me how to make life paper."

"We also exchanged each other's life papers."

"What is life paper?" Luffy looked confused, and his bright eyes revealed a clear "stupidity".

"Hahaha..." Ace laughed again, "Come to think of it, one of the reasons I came to you today was to give you this thing."

After throwing the things in his pocket to Luffy, Ace began to do some science.

"Ahem! The so-called life paper..." Ace first clenched his right fist and coughed slightly a few times, then closed his eyes and shook his head.

But just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Luffy.

Luffy first took the life paper and looked at it carefully, then looked at Ace in confusion, "Ace! Why are you just like Yun Yi, pretending to be polite?"

Although this is the truth, I don’t know that the truth is the saddest.

After punching Luffy hard, Ace said, "This is called progress!"

"It hurts so much, Ace!" Luffy held his head and wailed in pain. Only then did he realize that Ace did not use the power of fire.

But how could he hurt himself without using fire? Could it be the same ability as grandpa?

In just thirty seconds, Luffy had used up all of his brain cells and burst into laughter once again.

Ace then continued to popularize science, "The so-called life paper is a magical prop made by mixing your own fingernails into the material."

"Each life card represents the vitality of the card owner. When the owner's vitality weakens, the life paper will automatically shrink; when the owner's vitality recovers, the life paper will return to its original size."

"In addition, the life paper has the function of guidance. People holding the same life paper will attract and guide each other."

"As long as you have this, you will be able to rely on it to find me no matter how far away I am."

"So magical?" Luffy carefully looked at the life paper and put it away carefully. "Hey, Yun Yi, give me your life paper too."

"Hahaha, I didn't do it!" Yun Yi laughed, and then thought about the punch that Ace had just thrown at Luffy.

"That's just right, Ace, please help me."

"We're both giving it to each other. Just tell me if you have anything to say!" Ace nodded affirmatively.

"Look, I want you to use your Armament Haki to your full potential so that Luffy can learn from these guys."

"That's it, of course no problem!"

Ace nodded in agreement without hesitation. Not to mention such a small matter, even if Yun Yi asked him to break into Marinford right now, Ace would definitely not frown.

Not to mention it was to help their common brother.

Seeing Ace agreed, Yun Yi turned to look at Yamato who was sitting next to him and said, "Okay, it's your turn. Tell me, why did you want to fight with me?"

The sharp horns emitted a cold light under the sunlight, and Yamato's eyes were dull and gradually became empty.

After a long time, things gradually returned to normal.

"Because I want to see how big the gap between us is..."

Yamato quietly looked at Yunyi, who had grown a lot.

When he was a child, although he was small, he was famous and hated evil. With only a spear, he dared to kill Orochi, fight Kaido, kill thousands of pirates, and turn the entire Wano Country upside down.

Today, when we met again, he had lost his former high spirits and arrogance, and had become so mature and steady.

His eyes were dark and deep, and his expression was calm and composed, as if he remained calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.

Even though he did nothing but just sat there, he had the aura of holding the universe in his hands and controlling everything.

"You said at the beginning that I should learn to write my own legend and not become someone else. I listened to you and fled from Wano Country."

"But ever since I left Kaido's Wano Country, I've been confused and don't know where to go."

"So, I traveled around on the boat until I saw the news of your challenge to Kaido in the newspaper. Only then did I know your origins and set my goal to go to Fishman Island!"

"After that, I went on adventures again. During this period, I saw a lot, including the dreams of small people, the power of the emperor of the sea, and the legendary Pirate King Roger who conquered the Grand Line."

"Each of them is either a hero of their own or the pride of their hometown. Each of them lives a life of flesh and blood. Some have a turbulent life, while others live a peaceful and happy life."

"Everyone is a storybook, and each of them is a living person with flesh and blood."

Yamato spoke in great detail, and it seemed that every word left a very deep impression on her. Everyone listened very carefully, and even Sanji and the others came over out of curiosity.

When Yamato talked about the Land of Giants, Usopp's eyes brightened up noticeably.

"Will we pass through the Land of Giants in the future?" Usopp asked curiously.

"Hahaha, of course. The trees and animals there are really huge. The warriors there are also very powerful. It will open your eyes."

Yamato gave a brief introduction, and Usopp's eyes lit up.

"Later, I traveled all the way and finally arrived at the Fishman Island mentioned in the newspaper."

“And being there, it was even more shocking to me.”

When talking about Fishman Island, Yamato's eyes were bright, full of memories and yearning.

"I saw the changes you made there. Fishman Island seemed to have truly become the center of the world, and the two halves of the Grand Line were now connected to each other."

"Besides that, I also saw a place called a school that you renovated."

"Whether children or adults, everyone there is full of respect for you. When I was young, I saw Kozuki Oden being respected in Wano Country, but what I saw in Fishman Island was not the kind of respect for Oden's name in Wano Country."

"They laugh and laugh when they talk, without any fear. That kind of respect is exactly what they want in their hearts, because they respect and honor you from the bottom of their hearts because of what you have done."

“I think I’ve seen a lot, but I’m still deeply fascinated by that place.”
