Chapter 40-The Next Goal

After leaving the rainy place, Zhou Xiaoning returned to Lohala, the capital city of Hong Kong, and lived there because he had to wait for someone here.

Portgas·D·Ace, whose real name is Gore·D·Ace, is actually the posthumous son of “One Piece” Gol·D·Roger. After he grew up, he hated his father so much that he changed his surname to his birth mother, Portgas D·Rouge. He was adopted by Garp and became Luffy’s righteous brother.

Like Luffy, Ace also aspires to be a pirate. He went to sea a few years earlier than Luffy and established the “Spade Pirates”. Later, I met Whitebeard and challenged him, but ended in defeat, and even the “Pirates of Spades” was also merged into the Whitebeard Pirates. At the beginning, Ace was very dissatisfied, and then he assassinated Whitebeard hundreds of times, but they were all easily solved by Whitebeard.

Later, after Ace revealed to Whitebeard that he was the son of Roger, Whitebeard not only did not kick him off the boat, but laughed it off. This made Ace finally recognize Whitebeard Edward Newgate as a great pirate, and he was ultimately willing to carry the “Whitebeard” on his back. Name. Soon after, he became the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates.

You know, as the strongest person in the world, Whitebeard is not one of the strongest. Tier 5’s strength stands at the top of the Pirate World. In the top war, he was undefeated against the three Admiral with a severely ill body. Later, if it were not for Skuyard Too stupid, after hearing Akainu’s separation, he stabbed Whitebeard in the back, making his already weak body weaker, I am afraid Ace might be rescued.

Under the leadership of such a strong man, the captain he recognized will naturally not be weak. Not to mention that each is comparable to Marine Admiral, but at least the Vice Admiral level, and several of them are strong, even in a short time. Just face Admiral without falling into the wind. Under such circumstances, Ace can become the captain of the second team, which shows that his strength is strong.

Of course, if this were the only thing, Zhou Xiaoning would not wait for him in Rohara. Don’t look at Zhou Xiaoning sitting in the position of Marine Rear Admiral, but he really doesn’t have much sense of belonging to Marine, if it weren’t for Marine’s. Resources, he had already thrown away the Marine “righteous” coat and ran away as a pirate.

Therefore, Zhou Xiaoning didn’t bother to do things like catching Ace to earn military merit and promotion.

The real reason why Zhou Xiaoning decided to stay and wait for Ace is that he has taken a fancy to Ace’s Mera-mera Fruit, or the fire elemental energy brought by Mera-mera Fruit. If you say who has the purest fire elemental power in the Pirate World If so, I’m afraid it is Ace.

In the original game, the place where Ace made his first appearance and reunited with Luffy was Na Rohara. Moreover, in the state of full divine consciousness, Zhou Xiaoning quickly found the restaurant that appeared in the original plot.

Since Zhou Xiaoning didn’t know when Luffy and others would arrive with Ace, he had to use the dumbest way to wait and see. After eating at that restaurant for ten days, he finally saw Ace.

He has black hair and a normal skin tone, with Madara finch on both cheeks, and “ASCE” tattoos on his left arm, where S is crossed. In addition, the back is stabbed with the “Whitebeard Pirates” pattern, an orange cowboy hat is worn on the head, and the brim has two badges of “smile” and “sad”. There is also a skull and crossbones brand, and a red bead necklace on the neck. He still wears a dagger habitually around his waist, although he hasn’t used it since he ate Mera-mera Fruit.

In summary, this person should be Ace himself, no one else dare to dress like this.

Although the person you were looking for had been found, Zhou Xiaoning didn’t plan to pass now, after all, there weren’t all the people here yet.

I don’t know if it was because of being adopted by Garp. Ace also inherited part of Garp’s unreliability. He came to the restaurant to eat, but fell asleep without warning after eating.

This made the restaurant owner and diners quite worried, and they all wondered if he had eaten the “desert strawberry” by mistake.

And this “desert strawberry” is said to be a poisonous spider that looks like a red strawberry. If you accidentally eat it, it will poison and die in a few days, and the body will emit infectious virus within a few hours.

Zhou Xiaoning didn’t know if this was true, but if he listened to other people’s words, he would listen to it as if it were true.

But the problem is that Ace just fell asleep instead of dead, so those people’s guesses were completely wrong. What’s more, with the ability of Ace Mera-mera Fruit, even if you eat “Desert Strawberry”, it will be fine. The toxins have been burned clean by the fire before they spread.

Soon, after learning that Ace was still asleep, the onlookers dispersed, but as soon as the crowd dispersed, Ace was not covered, and he happened to sit with his back to the door. , The “Whitebeard Pirates” pattern behind him should not be too obvious.

Therefore, Ace was discovered by Smoker passing by. Unlike Zhou Xiaoning, who does not seek politics in his position, Smoker is definitely a qualified Marine. He is hateful to the pirates, and he ate Smoke fruit, and his strength is good, if it weren’t because he didn’t know how to be a human being, he didn’t know how. Dredge up and down, why is he still just a colonel now?

“You are really brave enough to eat here in public, Captain of the Second Team of the Whitebeard Pirates, Portgas·D·Ace.”

The prestige of the Whitebeard Pirate Group can be said to be famous for the entire One Piece King Shijie. Smoker just broke the identity of Ace, it caused a strong sensation, and everyone in the hotel was shocked. It was not running, it was not staying here. , Suddenly I was a little at a loss.

“A big pirate with a reputation like you, what on earth do you want to do when you come to this country?”

“I just came to find someone. I wonder if I can trouble you not to disturb me?”

“That won’t work, although I’m looking for other pirates and I’m not interested in your head, but I’m Marine.”

Smoker has fulfilled his obligations as Marine. Even if he knew he might not be able to do anything with Ace, he didn’t mean to let Ace go. His right hand had already turned into smoke, and he could launch an attack at any time.

“Really a reason for boring.”

Ace chuckled. Although he was still sitting there lazily, Zhou Xiaoning could see that he had entered a fighting state, and the fire elements around him had become very active. As long as he wanted to, he could burn down the entire restaurant in an instant.



However, Ace can be considered a more restrained pirate. He shouldn’t do such a frenzied thing. The most likely behavior is to find a chance to escape from the hotel, and then find an empty place to fight Smoker. Of course, it would be better if Smoker didn’t catch up by then.

The sword between Ace and Smoker was at a dagger, and a big battle was on the horizon.

However, at this moment, a strange voice faintly came from outside.

“Rubber, rubber-rocket!”

A humanoid object flew in from outside, and the strong force of the carrier hit Smoker’s back. Smoker couldn’t stand it. It was carried by the object and continued to fly forward. It was in the middle of Ace, and Ace couldn’t stand it either, and flew with Smoker. When I went out, I broke through several walls in a row before stopping.

At the moment the two flew out, Zhou Xiaoning saw surprise, helplessness, and “Damn” expressions on their faces. They used their own experience to tell everyone how important it is to learn Observation Haki well, at least for mothers in the future. Don’t worry about me being attacked.

The culprit responsible for all this was sitting at the table like a okay person, clamoring for food.

“Puff, hahahahaha!”

Zhou Xiaoning finally couldn’t hold back it and burst into laughter. This scene was very happy when I first watched the animation, but now I watch the live version, and I feel so happy!

“Ah, it’s you!”

Luffy looked over with a laugh, just in time to see Zhou Xiaoning covering his stomach with one hand, and slapping the table with the other, his face flushed, as if he was out of breath immediately after a laugh.

Although Luffy does not know why Zhou Xiaoning laughed, one thing is certain. The guy in front of him is very strong. Even if he has made some progress during this period, he is not his opponent. If Zhou Xiaoning wants to attack him or even his partner, He can’t stop it.

For a while, Luffy even forgot to eat, but watched Zhou Xiaoning vigilantly. Once Zhou Xiaoning acted abnormally, he would run away as soon as possible.

Zhou Xiaoning’s spiritual sense has the ability to read the mind, but it is only a general reading. It is still a moment before Luffy’s aspirations can be read out completely. But if he could read Luffy’s heartfelt voice, he would definitely overthrow his previous knowledge of Luffy, who said that Luffy’s IQ was low, it was better than a monkey, it looked normal outside, but in fact he had already planned it. How to escape.

“Well, relax, I’m not here to find you this time.”

Zhou Xiaoning waved his hand and motioned to Luffy not to care about him.

As a result, Luffy actually stopped paying attention to him, but started to eat and drink, how big is this guy’s heart?

“You really make me easy to find, boy with a straw hat!”

Smoker and Luffy are old acquaintances. Before Luffy escaped from Logue town, Smoker regarded it as a great shame, and even put down Logue town’s defenses and chased all the way here in order to catch Luffy.

But Luffy didn’t seem to think of this person for a while. Although his eyes were looking at Smoker, he didn’t listen to the movements of his hands for a moment, and continued to stuff food into his mouth.

“Hahahaha, Smoker, you are being ignored, hahahaha!”

Zhou Xiaoning continued to laugh. It was really funny to see Smoker’s ice cube face being furious with Luffy’s dementia.

“Why are you bastard here? Anyway, it’s also a Marine Rear Admiral. Seeing the pirate here, you were indifferent!”

Smoker was furious, but this time the target was changed to Zhou Xiaoning.

When Zhou Xiaoning was sent to the world, he had worked with Smoker for a while, so the two of them were also old friends. At that time, both were captains. Six months later, Zhou Xiaoning was promoted to major, and Smoker was still the captain. Two years later, Zhou Xiaoning became a colonel, and Smoker was still a captain. Three years later, Zhou Xiaoning was promoted to Commodore, and Smoker was still a captain there. Zhou Xiaoning saw that he was too pitiful. He used his power to let the people below stop embarrassing him.

But then somehow, there was a rumor that someone was covering Smoker, which made Smoker very hot. But in the next year, he was promoted directly from the quasi school to the colonel, and he undoubtedly confirmed the rumor. Although others did not say it, they had great doubts about his ability.

This is why he sees Zhou Xiaoning being so unhappy. After all, he was promoted after unimaginable efforts by ordinary people, but in the end he was easily obliterated by the phrase “there is someone above.” This kind of thing will feel unpleasant to anyone. Fair.
