"Well!"

Suddenly Ace's face changed, covering his throat with a painful look on his face.

"..."

What's wrong?Is the food poisonous?Kiana rolled her eyes at the shivering shop owner sitting at the bar, and with her left thumb, she gently lifted Rachel out of the scabbard a little bit.

"What did you do? Did you poison the food?"

Qiana asked with a cold face, the shop owner suddenly curled up in the corner of the wall in fear, his face was pale, his hands were raised on his chest and he was waving desperately.

"I don't know, why did he become like this, I don't..."

"Woo, hoo, it's so fucking dead, I almost choked."

Ace beat his chest desperately, finally swallowing all the food in his mouth, and then took a long breath.

"..."

Kiana slowly pulled Rachel back into the scabbard, then reached out and drank from the glass to hide her embarrassment.

"By the way, Kiana, why don't you sail with Luffy and the others?"

Ace temporarily slowed down his eating speed, and slowly gnawed on the only remaining chicken leg.

"Me? Actually, I am looking for something that is very important to me personally. After I find it, I will think about how to live in the future. Maybe I will go to Luffy and the others, but I don't know if they will still be there at that time. You don't want me to join."

Kiana said lightly, in fact, she has always been a little worried. Although Luffy invited himself to join the Straw Hat Pirates, but because of his search for Dragon Ball, he has been away from the team for so long, just like an outsider.

"Well, you don't need to worry about this. Since Luffy invited you to join his pirate group, and you agreed, it's a companion. Luffy values ​​his companions very much."

Ace knew Luffy very well, and naturally knew that Kiana's worries were unnecessary.

"Speaking of which, why did you appear in Tolstoy, Ace?"

Kiana asked curiously, according to the original timeline, Ace should have almost arrived at Alabasta at this time to meet Luffy and the others.

"Oh, I'm actually looking for someone. By the way, I wonder if you've seen this person before?"

Ace took out a photo from his pants, which was a photo of Ace and another person, and handed it to Kiana. A fat uncle with a wicked smile appeared on it, his black stubble all over his face. .

"His name is Titch, have you seen it?"

Blackbeard, Marshall D. Teach, I saw the two people in the photo cross their shoulders and smile at the camera. It seems that Ace and Blackbeard used to have a good relationship.

Tiki has been hiding his strength, lurking in the Whitebeard Pirates, then grabbing the dark fruit, killing his companions and defecting from the Whitebeard Pirates.

Ace disregarded the obstruction of his companions and went to hunt down Titch. In the end, he lost. Instead, he was sent into the hands of the navy by Blackbeard, which triggered the subsequent battle of the top. In the end, Ace died in that battle with Whitebeard who came to rescue him. in war.

The plot of the original novel flashed in Kiana's mind. When she first saw this, Kiana felt a little regretful, and wished to hack the comic author Oda with a knife.

But then Kiana also looked down on it, and Ace's death may be necessary for Luffy's growth.

It was because of Ace's death that Luffy realized that his strength was not enough to protect his companions, and he was determined to become stronger. If Ace didn't die, maybe Luffy wouldn't be the pirate king, right?

"I've never met this person."

Kiana told the truth that she didn't know where Blackbeard was, and she didn't want to know.

"Really? Someone said that he appeared in this country."

"Why are you looking for him?"

"...Responsibility, my teammates made a mistake, of course I, the captain, have to catch him back, and he owes me an explanation."

Ace's expression became serious.

"Although I don't know what's going on, have you ever thought about giving up?"

"Give up? Are you telling me to give up chasing him?"

"Yes, if you continue to look for him, things will develop unexpectedly."

"……impossible."

Ace wiped his mouth with the tissue on the table, then stood up.

"Thank you for inviting me to dinner."

After saying that, Ace turned and left. The original atmosphere was not bad, but because of Kiana's words, the atmosphere was also broken.

Looking at Ace's back, Kiana couldn't help sighing. Even Whitebeard and the others couldn't persuade him. How could he, who he only knew him for a while, make Ace give up his idea?

In the VIP reception room on the second floor of the Black Gold Auction, the owner Gore sat on the sofa, smiled and said to the two people sitting opposite: "Two guests, what do you want to auction?"

Although Gore was laughing, sweat was pouring down his back, and the appearance of the two in front of him made him feel chills, but his good professionalism made him barely sit still.

"Boss Gore, right? I wonder if you have accepted any special auction items recently?"

A sickly gray-white man sitting opposite Gore said, and beside him was a three-meter-tall strong man with bulging muscles. His huge body almost filled the entire sofa.

"Special? Uh, I don't know what the special guest means when you say it?"

"Like some kind of strange looking fruit."

"..."

Strange looking fruit?There really is one, Gore thought to himself. Egg, he knew that devil fruit would definitely get in trouble.

"Recently, we lost a fruit, and they are very angry, so boss Gore, if you can tell the truth, we will be very grateful to you."

The gray-white man said with a smile, but it was just how scary his eyes looked.

"This... In principle, our auction house cannot disclose the auctioneer's information."

Gore was sweating coldly on his head, and he kept taking out the handkerchief and wiping it.

"Ah? Boss Gore, what did you just say? I didn't catch it, can you say it again?"

The man pulled out the dagger from his waist, raised it, and swiped the tip of the knife slowly across Gore's cheek.

"Okay, Amin, this guy doesn't need to talk nonsense with him, just say everything after a fight."

The muscular man was a little impatient, and he stood up and prepared to throw a punch at Gore.

"Abe, wait a minute, I haven't used my interrogation method for a long time, and the methods are getting unfamiliar."

Amin quickly stopped Abe.

"Cut, then hurry up, I'll wait for you outside the door."

Abe turned his head and walked out of the room, then closed the door and left Amin and Gore in the room.

"Sa, let me see how long you can hold on, don't let me down?"

Amin said with a wicked smile, the excited expression on his face was obviously the ** when he was very much looking forward to the abuse.

"Um... what are you going to do? Don't come over... uhhh!"

The shrill screams did not reach the outside, and the room with first-class sound insulation that was specially created to protect the guests' information was what Gore regretted the most at this time.

Abei stood at the door with a blank expression. It took 10 minutes for Amin to open the door and walk out.

Amin took the handkerchief to slowly dry the blood on the knife, and then reinserted it into the scabbard. In the room, Gore's body was lying on the ground, and the stench of blood continued to flow out.

The body is full of torn wounds, and the terrified expression on his face has frozen, obviously he suffered inhuman treatment before his death.

"It took so long? Is your means regressing, or is this guy so tough? You won't even say it?"

Abe asked with some doubts, and when Amin heard the words, he sneered disdainfully.

"Hmph, this piece of shit told me all about it when you closed the door."

"Then why did it take you so long?"

"Don't you think it's particularly enjoyable to appreciate the desperate expression on someone's dying face? Especially the feeling of scraping his flesh off with one knife at a time, it's addicting."

Amin said with a smile, as if he was reminiscing.

"It's really bad fun. Speaking of which, have you found any news?"

"Well, it has been confirmed that Mumuguo is on this island, and that bounty hunter is actually a beautiful woman. I really want to see her desperate expression when she is dying."

"Really? The other party is the one who can defeat Jones. The two of us are not opponents. Hurry up and call the bug to ask for support."

"I know, I know."

Amin took out a phone bug from his arms, and while dialing the number, he said to Abe: "Mumuguo is locked in the vault on the third floor, I already have the key and password, first put the Mumuguo Take it back and talk about it."

"..."

Abe didn't speak, just closed the door of the reception room, and followed Amin's footsteps all the way to the third floor.

After asking for help, Amin hung up the phone bug, and soon saw the deepest vault. Amin took out the key to open the outermost lock of the vault, and then entered the password, the old-fashioned scroll password.

After a while, Amin opened the vault and saw the box containing the Mumu fruit at a glance. The reason why it was so easy to find was because there were no other boxes in the vault that seemed to be able to hold the fruit, so it was conspicuous.

Amin opened the box with a sneer, but found that the box was actually empty, and the smile on his face couldn't help stiffening.

"Empty...empty? How is that possible?"

Amin angrily threw the box on the ground and smashed it to pieces.

"No? Look for it again."

Abe also followed into the vault, pulling the boxes with big hands. Amin sighed and followed suit.

"Are you looking for fruit?"

Suddenly a voice came from the stairs on the third floor.The movement of the two slowed down, and then quickly looked back.

"who?"

Amin pulled out the dagger at his waist and pointed it at the other side to question, only to see a handsome young man leaning his back against the wall at the corner of the stairs, looking at them coldly.

"If you are looking for fruit, then I am very sorry, I have eaten it."
