[One Piece] Yesterday, Present and Past

The Chambord Islands have been more turbulent recently.

As the closest tourist island to the holy land of Mary Gioia on the red earth continent, the number of tourists on Bubble Island has surged in these few months.Every day, tens of thousands of ships drop anchor next to the huge tree roots. Although they are more tourists who want to broaden their horizons and then go back to brag to their relatives and friends, there are also some ambitious pirates and holeless The absent reporter.

The boss who rented the bubble car, Ma Lun, is not too old. Last night, he counted money with the stinky woman for half a night, and then he was satisfied with the beautiful woman in his arms. So today, his face has turned into a smile. chrysanthemum.The location of his store is very good, it is the only way to go to the Central District where the shadow phone bug is located, the shrewd boss rents out nearly a thousand cars every day, and this is not counting some non-original people who came here specially to visit Residents were tricked into buying a lot.The income of his store in these two months is equal to the total of the previous year.

Three more bubble cars were easily sold. With a smile, Mullen stuffed the special biscuits of the Chambord Islands into the arms of the stupid customers as a gift, and then put on a look of "You're welcome for this" in the grateful eyes of the customers. It’s a warm welcome from a warm and generous local” expression, and he bowed politely to pay tribute, smiling as he watched the bully who had been brutally slaughtered go away.

Then he turned around and went back to the store. The unscrupulous store manager clasped his hands in gratitude facing the direction of the Red Earth Continent, with tears flickering in the corners of his eyes, and he murmured respectfully: "Ah! Thank you to the world government! Thank you to the great Draconians! Ah! Thank you for the World Conference that has brought us riches and honor!"

Yes.The highest celebration every five years, the World Conference, will be held in the Holy Land of Mary Gioia in a month.

Since it marks the full 800th anniversary of the creation of the World Government by the Creator, this meeting is more important than any previous one.And it is said that in order to celebrate with the people, 20 royal descendants of the Creator Tianlong people will appear on the celebration together, and carry out a series of activities such as congratulatory speeches.The coquettishness of the Tianlong people makes the common people look forward to feasting their eyes. Video phone bugs around the world will broadcast this grand ceremony live. Not only that, after the world conference, there will be 5 royal Tianlong people condescending to inspect the Chambord Islands Accepting the admiration of the people is also the itinerary for Tianlong people to have fun with the people, which was announced by the government two months ago.The people, relying on the celebration day, these coquettish people wearing glass covers are taboo to fight and kill, so they all took this opportunity to go to the Chambord Islands from all over the world, just to see with their own eyes how long the Tianlong people who seldom show up are. What a bear. (wrong)

This is why Bubble Island is overcrowded.

on the other hand--

New world.

"Bang—!!" A big hole was blasted out of the wall again, broken wooden planks flew in all directions, and a figure burning with flames flew out backwards, and fell into the sea with a plop.

"This newcomer is really tenacious..." The pirates on the ship were no strangers to it, except for the pirate lifeguards who arrived in line and jumped into the sea, the rest of the people just glanced at it for a while, then shook their hands again. The head went on with its own business.

Ace was fished up wet, he ignored the clean towels and clothes handed by the lifeguard pirates, but silently lowered his head and walked slowly to a corner of the boat, sat down with his knees hugged, Head buried between knees.

Have you been hit... The captain of the first team, Phoenix Marco, leaned against the side of the boat with a very recognizable pineapple head, slightly raised his lazy dead fish eyes, and stared at the dejected figure in the distance, An unidentified look flashed across his eyes.

Then he got up from the rail and went to the room where Whitebeard was mending.

This is the biggest setback I have encountered since I went to sea.Ace thought.

The boy went to sea at the age of 17, and then had his own pirate group and partners, and soon became famous in the sea. In less than a year, he completed the adventure of the first half of the great voyage, but here he caught the sea of ​​spades Bandit banner.

He inevitably thought of that day three years ago.He wanted to stop him but was powerless, he could only watch that person leave gradually.

It would be very sad to think about it for a while, but Ace forced himself to face it.For more than three years, it seems like yesterday.Every frame of the picture is extremely clear and vivid.

Why do you want to become stronger?

What is it for that I can't wait to become stronger?

The boy clenched his fists and his eyes opened wide.

It's because—I, want to change.

No?

Change the results at that time, change the eyes of the world, and change yourself who is carrying the child of the devil.

Want to become stronger.Strong enough to protect what I hold dear.

The feeling of loss was so terrible that I never wanted to experience it again.

But this time, did he really lose?

This young man who was always as dazzling as fire now curled up his body, with the brim of his hat lowered, completely ignoring the hustle and bustle of the outside world.The pirates thoughtfully vacated an open space for him, and the lonely figure in the corner was like a lost hedgehog, curling himself up into a ball in a daze, with no sense of security at all.

The current self, in the new world, is indeed too weak.

Such a weak person, when will he be able to bring that person back!

Ace grabbed the brim of his hat unconsciously, trying to cover his sight.

As if touching something, his hand paused, then stopped.

There are slight protrusions on the brim of the hat, and the leather of this part becomes thinner due to frequent friction, and the marks of the protrusions become more obvious.

Ace's fingers stroked slowly.

A...C...E.

Ace.

He seemed to hear the man calling his name with a soft smile again.

The boy closed his eyes.When it opened again, it had a firm expression.

No!I can't lose!

——Absolutely not!

Before I even saw that person's face, how could I fall in such a place!

A bowl of soup was placed beside Ace.

The boy looked up hostilely, and the pineapple-headed Marco smiled back with kindness.

"Now you don't have the strength to take the head of the old man."

He pointed out Ace's problem mercilessly and sharply.

Ace's eyes widened, and he almost stood up angrily and punched Marco, but was stopped by the latter's next words.

"Father has something to tell me to bring to you." Marco's dead fish eyes met the boy's black eyes. There was no malice in the eyes, but comforting and tolerant.Ace froze for a moment, then listened to him.

"You have important things you want to get back, right. Then, it would be a pity to die now."

Not surprisingly, Marco looked at the boy in front of him with his eyes wide open in surprise.

He thought of the meeting between the red-haired and the white-bearded man a month ago, the main content of which was the rookie kid who became famous very quickly and rejected the position of Shichibukai.Maybe it's not just for this reason, but this newcomer is already very remarkable for being able to cause even an informal meeting between the Four Emperors.

The redhead gave a general account of Ace's visit to him, and finally laughed: "There is a kid who wants to take your head, oh White Beard!"

The old man also grinned grinningly.Then he waved his hand, making everyone retreat.

The conversation between the kings ended after half an hour.

Marco came back to his senses and saw that Ace was still looking stupid, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

His words conveyed his words clearly, and there was pride and pride in his magnetic voice.

"Father said, until you are strong enough to protect what you want to protect, use my name and make trouble in this sea!"

Ace froze.

It seemed that some obstacle was removed from his heart, and he saw another wider, sunny avenue leading to his goal.

……

So he never wears a shirt anymore hahaha. (Hello)

The flames were blazing, and the boy confidently raised his fist at the enemy ship, the belief in his eyes remained the same as usual.

An orange cowboy hat, an elbow pad on his left arm, and a white beard tattoo engraved on his muscular back.
