Chapter 107 Portcas D Ace! (Fourth update 13w, please subscribe)
Goa Kingdom, Mount Kolbo.
16-year-old Portcas D. Ace carried a small bag on his shoulders and walked nimbly through the dense forests in the mountains.
As he walked, the small bag shook continuously, and there was a "ding-ding" metal collision sound inside.
This small bag contains some banknotes and coins——
They are the "treasures" that Ace just forcibly plundered from the evil forces at Uncertain Terminal.
A few years ago.
The princes and nobles of the Kingdom of Goa frantically set fire to the entire Uncertain Terminal Station, almost completely destroying it.
But several years passed.
Because the Kingdom of Goa is still continuing its previous rule of rule - forcibly expelling unwanted citizens and items to ensure the "beauty" and "purity" of the entire country.
These people and objects abandoned by the country have no other place to live, so they can only gather again at the terminal of uncertainty.
As the number of people and items abandoned by the Kingdom of Goa continues to increase.
The Uncertain Terminal, which was reduced to ashes in the fire, was rebuilt.
Ace carried the treasure he had just robbed and came to his personal treasure place.
He took out the banknotes that were susceptible to moisture and damage one by one, smoothed them out, and put them in a separate treasure box. The remaining coins were piled together randomly.
The treasure chest is not large in size, but it is Ace's "family property" accumulated through robbery over the years.
If no unexpected situation occurs.
Ace will use the money to buy a small boat big enough for him to sail alone, and then officially start his pirate career.
When I was a child.
Ace will also consider many issues.
For example, his "father" and "mother" whom he has never met before;
For example, the opinions of ordinary people in Windmill Village towards "One Piece";
For example, for him - the son of the Pirate King - Coming, is it a good thing for this world?
Another example is how he will walk in his future life, whether to follow his father's footsteps or follow the ideas of "grandpa"...
But after growing up, Ace no longer cares about these small problems.
In other words, these problems have been hidden deep in Ace's heart and will not be exposed easily again.
He has only one idea now -
Grow up, go to sea, and become a pirate!
Then let the world hear the name of Portcas D. Ace!
Ace quickly counted all his wealth to make sure there were no mistakes or omissions, and then hid every box containing the treasure.
Then, as smart as a monkey, he climbed over to the top of the nearest big tree.
This is near the peak of Mount Colpo.
Ace sat on the branch of the big tree, overlooking the Pirate Bay below.
At the foot of the Uncertain Terminal and Mount Colpo, there is a small harbor.
The pirate ship of the Sapphire Pirates once docked here.
As he grew older, Ace often came here to overlook the scene of Pirate Bay.
He imagined what it would be like if one day he sailed out to sea...
While Ace was admiring the scene of Pirate Bay as usual.
A white dot suddenly appeared on the distant sky.
Ace subconsciously raised his right hand and placed it over his eyes, trying to see clearly what the white dot looked like.
In Ace's eyes, the white dots continued to enlarge until their true appearance was revealed.
It was a giant white dragon that seemed to fly out of myths and legends.
“Dragon?”
Ace’s eyes widened in shock, looking at the giant white dragon flying freely in the sky.
“There really is a dragon in the sea!”
As the son of the Pirate King and adopted by a naval hero, Ace has heard many legends from his "grandpa".
But Ace has always lived on Mount Corpo since he was a child.
He is very familiar with every plant and tree in the mountains.
But this is always the East China Sea.
The "weakest" East China Sea.
Ace had heard many stories that seemed like myths and legends from his grandfather.
But Ace has not seen any of the "protagonists" in myths and legends.
As for grandpa?
Ace is very grateful to his grandfather for adopting him, but "respect"?
It is difficult for him to respect that bad old man who is usually out of tune and always wants to prevent him from going to sea to become a pirate...
It was even harder for Ace to believe that his grandfather would be a "naval hero" admired by the world.
The white dragon appeared in the sky at this time.
Like a ball of flame, it directly ignited Ace's longing for the sea.
He really wants to sail freely on the sea...
While looking up at the white dragon in the sky, Ace looked forward to his future career as a pirate.
But as time goes by.
Ace's expression changed from surprise at first, to confusion, and then solemnity.
Why does that white dragon seem to be flying this way?
Huhu——
The blue-eyed white dragon flew towards Mount Kolbo, its huge pair of dragon wings waving gently, bringing a strong storm to the mountain forest below.
Ace's left hand tightly hugged the main trunk of the tree next to him to avoid being blown off the tree by the sudden strong wind.
"Dragon!"
Ace's right hand was in front of his eyes, and his eyes looked through the gaps between his fingers at the blue-eyed white dragon that fell from the sky to the ground.
“Who is that person?”
Before Ace could see what that person looked like.
The huge blue-eyed white dragon "melted" directly into the earth like a ball of water.
A strange man that Ace had never seen before appeared at the spot where the blue-eyed white dragon had just been standing.
It was as if the giant dragon just now was transformed into this man.
If it weren’t for the messy scene caused by the storm that still lingers around.
Ace almost thought that the white dragon just now was his imagination...
'Is this what grandpa said before... the devil fruit user? ’
Just when this idea flashed through Ace’s mind.
The man on the ground below suddenly raised his right hand and waved to him. "Portcas D. Ace? I am Vongola Storm!"
With a smile on his face, Storm looked at the tree standing Portcas D. Ace on the top of the mountain, getting straight to the point.
"Do you want to join me and turn this world upside down?"
"The world? Huh?"
Ace stood on the branch, looking down at the man below.
Even the scene when the other party came riding a dragon just now caused quite a shock to his heart.
But he has no interest in being a crew member for others.
Ace stared at the strange man below and sneered.
"Who are you? Get away!
"This is my territory! ”
“This is not your territory, and it will not be your destination. ”
Storm’s mind moved slightly, and the [Awakening] power of [Clay Fruit] surged out instantly.
The big tree Ace was standing on was immediately assimilated into a "Clay Tree" by the power of the [Clay Fruit].
The hard branches instantly transformed into soft clay.
Ace accidentally fell from the tree crown and hit the ground heavily.
But at this time, the earth was also completely assimilated by the power of [Clay Fruit] and turned into soft clay.
Ace hit the ground, but was not hurt at all, just a little shocked.
The clay was like a wave that brought Ace to Storm.
"The sea is your destination, Portcas D. Ace."
Speaking of this, Storm paused and spoke to the other party calmly. 's real name.
"Or, Gol D. Ace."
The moment I heard this name.
Ace's pupils suddenly shrank sharply to the point of pinpricks.
The man riding a white dragon in front of me actually knows his true identity!
The disdain of being blocked and invited by a stranger, the panic of falling from a high altitude, and the surprise of having one's true identity revealed...
All kinds of complex emotions are mixed together, like a ball of fire , ignited Ace's heart, which was already very sensitive.
“You guy!”
Ace didn't care about the identity of the person in front of him. He waved his fist and wanted to hit the man in front of him on the cheek.
"Who do you think you are!?"
Ace thought he was powerful and heavy fist.
It seemed to Storm like soft, slow cotton.
He didn't even think about resisting the opponent's fist.
The moment Ace's fist was about to fall on Storm's body.
Ström opened his hands and fell backward.
The earth instantly shaped a huge bed of soft clay.
Storm lay on his back on the clay bed and easily avoided Ace's fist attack.
“Ha~”
Storm let out a big yawn.
Immediately afterwards, another lump of clay rose from the ground, its shape constantly changing.
In a moment.
The lump of clay took the shape of Hanavda, the King of Lizards.
The Lizard King was more than five meters tall, standing in front of Ace, like a little giant.
"Since you want to fight, let's fight him for a while first."
Storm gave an order to the Lizard King's clay man, who immediately took action and walked towards Ace. .
“I really have no interest in playing house with children.”
Children...playing house...
Ace’s forehead suddenly showed a few A vein.
The way the man who called himself "Vongola Storm" avoided the attack just now was enough to make him feel annoyed.
In the end, I didn’t expect the other party’s ability to make people angry... He did one thing after another!
Ace looked at the lizard king coming towards him and clenched his fists again.
How could I lose to such a stupid guy?
Ace roared angrily and rushed forward quickly, displaying all the skills he had honed in Mount Kolbo.
One punch, one kick, one knee, one elbow...
Ace used his eighteen martial arts skills, and his attacks fell on the body of the Lizard King like a violent storm, "dong dong dong" The dull sound kept ringing.
However.
Ideals are full, reality is skinny.
Ace used all his strength to beat the Lizard King for nearly half an hour.
His fists were almost worn out.
The Lizard King still hasn’t changed at all.
Ace's attack had no effect at all on the Lizard King.
Boom!
Ace punched the Lizard King hard again.
This punch finally left some bright red blood on the Lizard King's body.
But that is not the blood of the Lizard King.
But Ace’s blood.
"Are you tired from playing? I'm going to eat now."
After taking a nap for half an hour, Storm opened his eyes and looked lazily at the man who was still struggling with the clay. Ace.
"Will you go to dinner with me, or continue to compete with the clay dolls here?"
Boom!
Ace punched the Lizard King again, but this only made the injury to his fist a lot worse.
That’s it for now, let’s eat first!
