Pirate’s Steel Chain Finger

Chapter 328 Become a Hunter

“The second batch of preparation team arrived, immediately clean up the town square!”

“Search and rescue team report! Preliminary statistics of civilian deaths are 3 people, 31 people were seriously injured, and 214 people were slightly injured; 4 participants died, 3 people were seriously injured, and 3 people were slightly injured.”

“The search and rescue team report! A member of the ‘Pirates of Spades’ group was found at the scene and has been initially detained, awaiting instructions for the next step.”

“Where’s the material class? Hurry up and count the materials and building materials you need!”

“The medical team is now starting to rescue.”

The port of Batirila Island is full of ships, large and small, each with a coral V-flag. A large amount of supplies were transported from the ship, and the rescuers who came and went wore different styles of uniforms according to different divisions of labor.

Hao Xue has been sent to the medical ship for further treatment, and Lafayette and Ace are still receiving first aid on the spot. Fortunately, Dr. Sommer, the deputy captain of the Coral Medical Team, happened to be on the nearby Solimu Island. After receiving the emergency call, he immediately called the medical team and rushed to Batirila Island as quickly as possible.

“Lafayette’s injuries are mainly burns. The reason why he fell into a coma is because of excessive consumption of Haki. But this kid…”

Dr. Sommer supported the frame of his glasses with the back of his hand, and bandaged Ace a little faster: “The injury is very serious, and he will be sent to the headquarters for further treatment when the first aid is over. By the way, he is a pirate, right? Do you want to save him?”

“OK!” Nami, who was also bandaged, had a serious face: “Please, Dr. Satsuma.”

Dr. Satsuma pressed his mouth behind her, Nami turned his head knowingly, and found that the master was slightly frowning and looking at Ace lying on the ground not far behind her.

Nami bit his lower lip and walked to Victor and said softly, “Master, I… I promised him that as long as he helps us meet the enemy, I will let him and his pirates go. I checked, they Never done anything bad! Really!”

Victor didn’t speak, but just cast his gaze on Nami, groaned for a while and said, “…That’s right, you are indeed at this age.”

“???”

Nami was ashamed: “Master, what are you talking about! This kid helped me with a fatal blow, so I helped him speak nicely!”

Victor looked at Ace, smiled and said, “Don’t worry, he’s going to wake up.”

As soon as the voice fell, Ace, who was lying on the ground, let out a groan, frowned and slowly sat up, ignoring the astonishment of Dr. Summer’s face.

He looked around and found Nami grinned: “Oh! Nami! Is the battle over?”

Dr. Summer looked at Ace up and down, as if he had discovered a new species: “Is this awake? Amazing vitality…Are you really a human?”

Victor waved his hand gently, and Dr. Summer nodded when he saw it, picked up the medical kit next to him and stood up to look for other seriously injured people. Although Nami wanted to say something good for Ace, he could only leave with his head down.

For a time, only Victor and Ace were left in this small clearing.

“Hello! You are Nami’s master, Victor’Chain’? You really have been admired for a long time.”

Sitting on the ground, Ace bowed politely to Victor.

Victor put his hands in Kabuto, tilted his head slightly to look at Ace, and smiled: “‘Firefist’ Ace…you have made a lot of noise this year. It is rumored that the world government has extended an olive branch to you, but you have a mouthful. Rejected. Why, look down on Shichibukai’s position?”

“I’m not interested in being a thug for the World government.” Ace didn’t consider that this is the most powerful and powerful person in Shichibukai. He laughed and said: “In the beginning, my goal was to remove Whitebeard. It’s the first level, but now it’s not bad to challenge you first. Come on, one-on-one!”

When he said that, he wanted to get up, even planning to challenge Victor with this badly wounded body. If you save your life and fight one-on-one with the fierce chain, then your companions may be able to save their lives, right?

Victor stretched out his hand and pressed it, but Ace seemed to be pressed back to the spot with a face full of surprise.

“Ace, can I call you that?”

Victor patted the soil on the ground, and then sat beside Ace in disregard of the image: “You helped my subordinates, then I won’t take any action against you and your subordinates. Don’t worry, it’s just a chat. Take it easy.”

Ace was a little puzzled, but since his companions were no longer life threatening, he temporarily eased his breath: “Then what do you want to talk about?”

“Talk about your [motivation] to go to sea, how about it?” Victor said mildly: “Why do you want to be a pirate? Depending on your behavior style, you are more an adventurer than a pirate.”

I immediately asked Ace. He scratched his head and hesitated for a while before he said, “Uh…how do I say, I have a younger brother who has always wanted to be the One Piece. I didn’t seem to think about being infected by him. Options other than Pirates.”

“Anyone going to sea will have a [Goal], which is [Dream].” Victor shook his head slightly: “You are strong, but you can see that you are very confused.”

Ace was silent for a while before he said: “…No, I do have a [Goal]. I want to surpass! Surpass One Piece Roger!”

“One Piece?” Victor raised his head slightly: “That’s why you put your target on Whitebeard. Do you plan to prove yourself by defeating Whitebeard, who is evenly matched with One Piece?”

Ace nodded emphatically: “I don’t have a good brain. After thinking about it, only this method can prove that I have surpassed One Piece!”

“Then why are you obsessed with surpassing One Piece Roger?”

“…” Ace suddenly turned into a dull gourd, drooping his head and saying nothing for a long time.

Victor smiled and patted Ace on the shoulder: “Forget it, don’t want to talk about it. I have a more interesting idea here. Would you like to listen?”

Ace raised his head in confusion.

“Become the strongest bounty hunter, Ace!”

Victor’s blonde hair was shining in the sun, and the words seemed to go straight to the deepest part of Ace’s heart: “When a pirate, your best is only the second one. But if the pirate’s natural enemy reaches the top of the world, then Doesn’t it prove that you surpassed One Piece?”

“hunter……?”

Ace was at a loss at first, then little by little, his expression became excited. Yeah, it’s not a joy to be a pirate. [That guy] is already the culmination of a pirate. Why not consider being a hunter? Hunters can live more freely and happily. They don’t have to fight with those nasty Marines and bounty hunters every day. If they become the culmination of hunters, doesn’t it prove that they have truly surpassed [that guy]?

The more Ace thought about it, the more excited he became, but suddenly he wilted: “No, I am a pirate, and I am a criminal with a high reward wanted by the World government, and I am not qualified to be a hunter.”

“Whether you are qualified, I have the final say.” Victor smiled and said: “As long as you join’Coral’ and become my subordinate, you can wipe out your bounty and criminal status.”

“…What about my partner?”

“Join Coral at the same time. At that time, you will continue to direct or join other departments, it depends on your own wishes. Of course, their criminal status will also be eliminated.”

Ace looked at this blond man who was not much older than himself, and suddenly ignited an impulse in his heart that he had never had since childhood-I want to follow this man, and then surpass him!

“I agree.” Ace was full of energy, and with a clear goal, he felt that he was full of energy: “Being a hunter requires an exam? I can accept any test!”

Victor stood up and stretched out his hand to Ace: “No, in view of your disposition, will, strength and mind that you showed in this battle, I, as the president of the Hunter Association, specially approve you–”

“Portgas·D·Ace, officially became [Hunter]!”
