Chapter 119 Ace: I'm not interested in burning fruit! (Three updates with 10,000 words, please subscribe!)
Under the power of [Fluttering Fruit], the Sky Courtyard flies thousands of meters high in the sky.
This is a terrifying height that is at the same level as Sky Island and the White Sea. It seems that you can reach out and touch the flowing white clouds around you.
If a person living at sea level looks up to the sky, he or she will only be able to see a small black spot on the sky, but not the whole sky courtyard.
Due to the height, the air in the Sky Courtyard becomes very thin.
Apparently when she first ascended to heaven, Nami still looked cheerful and full of energy.
As a result, after a while, she seemed to be suffering from "altitude sickness", feeling dizzy, dazzled, and exhausted.
Now.
Nami could only lie on the ground in the sky courtyard, like a fish starved of oxygen, with her eyes wide open and her mouth constantly opening and closing, but she had no strength to make a sound.
At this time.
Storm came from the side, and the Golden Lion II was no longer next to him.
Just now, Storm made some minor modifications to the entire sky courtyard.
[Piao Piao Fruit] can make objects lose their original gravity and float freely in the sky.
If a person with abilities has been controlling these gravity-free substances, then the substances will also respond to its control.
But if the espers do not exert additional control over these substances, these objects without gravity will be pushed by other energies in nature.
For example - "wind" can be seen everywhere!
The naval battle of Atvor decades ago.
Most of the Flying Pirates of Golden Lion Shiji were destroyed by a sudden super storm.
Storm will certainly learn a hard lesson from Shiki the Golden Lion.
So he made some modifications to the Sky Courtyard.
Specifically.
Storm used his [Clay Fruit] to make some simple clay propellers for the Sky Courtyard to ensure that the Sky Courtyard would not be blown out of its planned route by the strong winds that can be seen everywhere in the sky.
As for other aspects of transformation, they will also be completed bit by bit in the future.
"Nami, your physical fitness is really too weak."
Storm walked to Nami's side and looked at the little thief lying straight on the ground. Cat couldn't help but shook his head.
"I will make an exercise plan for you later."
"Huh...huh..."
Nami gasped and forced an ugly smile.
"Master Bailong, I want to study, can I not exercise..."
"These two things do not conflict."
Storm said what seemed to him to be very ordinary things.
“Study first, then exercise when you are tired of studying; when you are tired of exercise, you can rest while continuing to study.
“People, how can you know yourself if you don’t push yourself? Where is the limit? ”
Nami’s face became paler as she listened to Storm’s words.
……
Strom's transformation of the Sky Court was quite effective.
It only took half a day for the Sky Garden to return directly to the Conomi Islands from the sea area where the Ant Nest Hell is located.
Storm wanted to take Nami immediately to join Big Bear and Robin.
But a sudden phone call from a bug interrupted his plan.
The person who sent the contact was none other than Portcas D. Ace, who had been successfully recruited before!
Storm and Ace chatted briefly and then hung up the phone.
He looked at Nami who was looking at the Konomi Islands below.
"Nami, why don't I give you a break first? Can you go home and rest for a while? I'm going to pick someone up now."
Storm gave Nami the gift without hesitation. Two pieces of advice.
“Or, should I send you to the Kingdom of Germa first to meet a few other companions?”
Nami thought for a while and decided to go home first.
She listened to Storm, who had urgent matters to deal with and would not always be by her side.
In this case, Nami does not want to be alone with those "companions" who have not officially met yet.
‘Let’s wait until the last guy comes over together! ’
Nami made her decision.
Storm had no problem with that either.
He first sent Nami back to Cocosia Village, then directly turned on the [Thunder Ring], and rushed all the way to Dawn Island where the Kingdom of Goa was located.
Auroville Island, Mount Kolbo, Dadan House.
Ace, who was ready to go, bowed respectfully to Dadan, the bandit who raised him.
“Thank you for taking care of me for so many years, Dadan.”
"Little Ace, you are not an adult yet, do you really not want to stay at home for another year?"
Dadan, who was tall and strong, responded with a choked sob while wiping his tears with a handkerchief.
“And old man Garp... has always wanted you to... join him in the navy.
“Although the navy is not a good thing, it is at least better than eating. It’s better to be a pirate who doesn’t have a good meal! "
"Dadan, I can't be a navy. ”
Ace said in a very firm tone.
“And, I have also found my companion!
“I have made an agreement with him, I will go to sea with him! "
"Damn it! "
Dadan clenched his fists and said angrily.
"Are you going to be seduced by a man like this?"
Dadan remembers clearly that when he was a child, Luffy decided to become a pirate because he met a red-haired man.
Although Ace made up his mind when he was very young, he wanted to go to sea and become a pirate.
But a week ago, he was still trying to save money and decided to go to sea after becoming an adult.
Everything has changed now...
Old man Garp, what exactly are you protecting? !
Dadan cursed the "naval hero" in his heart.
Ace is about to go to sea, why don’t you come back and take a look!
"Okay, Dadan."
Ace shook his head with a smile. He looked around, but did not see the boy with the straw hat.
"Luffy...forget it."
Ace decided to go to sea a year in advance.
Luffy was greatly stimulated by this.
Because he could have stayed with his brother for another year...
But now Ace decided to go to sea early.
Luffy thought he had been deceived by Ace and had a "cold war" with him.
Even when Ace was about to leave, Luffy didn't come over to say goodbye.
Ace forcibly suppressed the sadness of farewell in his heart, carried his huge luggage, and waved to the Dadan family.
"Dadan, and everyone, goodbye."
Then.
Without waiting for a response from Dadan and others, Ace pushed the hat on his head down a little, covering his eyes, and seemingly turned around and left without mercy, heading towards the windmill village down the mountain.
Ace has walked this road down the mountain countless times since he was a child, but this time it was particularly difficult. But in the end, Ace left Mount Colpo.
After he said goodbye to his friends in Windmill Village, he borrowed a telephone bug from Maginot, the tavern owner in Windmill Village, and dialed the string of words he remembered deeply. Number.
Ace originally thought he would stay in Windmill Village for a while.
Unexpectedly, it only took less than half a minute.
There was a burst of thunder outside the tavern in Windmill Village, like thunder.
"Thunder?"
Mackino, who was working behind the bar, suddenly changed his expression after hearing the thunder.
“My clothes!”
However.
Not waiting for Maginot to rush out of the tavern and pack her clothes.
Storm appeared at the door of the tavern.
"Ace, let's go!"
Amidst the exclamations of the residents of Windmill Village.
The blue-eyed white dragon flapped its wings, soared into the sky, and flew away from Dawn Island.
On the top of Mount Colpo.
The top of the big tree that was originally Ace's secret treasure hiding place.
Luffy, wearing a straw hat, stared at the blue-eyed white dragon that was receding into the horizon, put his hands on his mouth and shouted.
"Ace! Next time we meet!! I will definitely surpass you!!!"
...
The blue-eyed white dragon is wandering in the sky.
Although it was already the second time to ride the Blue Eyes White Dragon, Ace could not help but show excitement.
This thing is much easier to use than a boat!
At this moment, he seemed to hear something and turned to look at Dawn Island behind him.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to hear Luffy calling him...
"What's wrong?"
Storm's voice reached Ace's ears.
“Already homesick?”
“How is that possible!”
Ace withdrew his gaze towards Dawn Island and objected.
"It's just that I suddenly thought of my brother Luffy. I didn't have time to say goodbye to him just now... I can only wait until the next time we meet."
"Your brother... "
Storm glanced at Ace and suddenly said.
"If one day in the future, I beat your brother violently...would you be unhappy?"
"...Huh?"
Ace was silent for a moment, looking confused.
"Luffy... did he provoke you?"
"No, but I think your brother is very unhappy."
Storm said seriously.
"So I really want to hit him."
Hearing this, Ace couldn't help but scratch his hair.
He still thinks that Luffy has provoked Storm...
But this kind of thing is completely impossible to happen...
"Luffy is my brother. ”
Ace first revealed his identity and then added.
“But everyone has his own adventure.
“If you want to fight Luffy...can you wait until he goes to sea?
“He is just a child now!”
“It seems we have reached a consensus!”
Storm extended his right hand to Ace.
The latter slapped his hand for no apparent reason and made a "pop" sound.
"What action is this? Is it a pirate's way of communicating?"
"No, this is just a handshake."
Ström withdrew his right hand, and he touched the blue eyes and white Dragon pressed it, and a brightly colored Devil Fruit appeared in his hand.
"Ace, are you interested in Devil Fruits?"
"Devil Fruits?"
Ace looked at the brightly colored fruit in Storm's hand and raised his eyebrows. .
“This is the Devil Fruit? It looks a bit strange.”
“This is the natural type of [Burning Fruit].”
Storm raised the [Burning Fruit] in his hand and gave Ace a brief introduction to its abilities, effects and weaknesses.
"Do you want to eat it?"
Despite the infamous saying - [burn the fruit], the dogs won't eat it.
But in fact Ace’s development of [Shao Shao Fruit] is quite remarkable.
It’s a pity that he never meets a suitable opponent.
First it was Blackbeard, then Akainu.
Ace's [Burning Fruit] was completely defeated by these two people.
In addition, the powerful people of the new world have demonstrated fire-based abilities that completely surpass the [Burning Fruit].
The reputation of [Shao Shao Fruit] has naturally declined...
But just look at Sabo who eats [Shao Shao Fruit] in the future.
This natural fruit is really not weak!
If not.
Saab will not come up with the title of "Emperor of Fire".
Storm himself has no interest in [Burning Fruit].
Because he already has the [Thunder Fruit] which is stronger than the [Burning Fruit], he is not very interested in getting another natural Devil Fruit.
If not, Storm would not have wanted to throw the [Burning Fruit] to Nami before - it's a pity that the obsessed little thief cat only wanted to sell Devil Fruit for money.
No matter how much Storm ruins the [Shao Shao Fruit], he won’t sell it for money!
This [Burning Fruit] went round and round, and now it was brought to Ace by Storm.
However, unexpectedly, Ace refused.
“No!”
Ace said bluntly.
"I have no interest in Devil Fruits."
