Chapter 384
"All the partners are gathered again, then we will have a banquet—"
"You wait,"
On the ruined Whole Cake Island, Roman reached out to stop Luffy who was preparing to collect on-site materials, not to mention that this is not the time to celebrate, just the cake buildings around here...
" The illusion of Red Count, even if it is eaten exactly like the real cake food, but after the illusion is lifted, you will be eating soil..."
No, think about it carefully. Luffy’s stomach is considered to be Can soil be easily digested?
"Let me come,"
Brin squatted down and put one hand on the ruins of Whole Cake Island,
"Amnesia!"
Brush——
As Brin activates the ability of'Memory Fruit', the surrounding scenery immediately shakes like a mirage in the desert, and huge cake buildings are also covered in pieces. The remains of the moss are broken. The bright sky has also recovered the moonlight and the stars, and Luffy also:
"My cake!!!"
"Brin, you pay me—"
p>
"Hey, hey, hey...these all are fake, Luffy. If you want a cake, wait until I get back on the boat with Sanji and I will make it for you."
"hehe Hey, it's okay"
"Anyway,"
Roman rubbed the temple to plan the next move of the Straw Hat group.
"Now that we have gathered all the people, we can choose to leave the boat directly regardless of the red count’s plans. ——Anyway, we have nothing to lose. Strictly speaking is still very rewarding. "
Originally, the Red Count did not have malicious intent on the Straw Hat group. Otherwise, if at first used the'fake companions' yin to kill directly, now only Luffy and Roman are left in the Straw Hat group. Two people.
By the way, Roman knows that because of the passive mind-reading relationship, there are only a few people named Roger, Whitebeard, and Garp who can truly be called "friends". And these older generations are basically inextricably related to the Straw Hat group, so:
"hehe, how can I just forget it?"
Luffy clicked Press Straw Hat,
"Although the adventure tonight is quite interesting, there is still a grudge between us and that uncle. Patong——"
Luffy looked towards and A small civet cat as tall as a Chopper.
"Do you still have something to tell your'boss'? Before that, I won't let you be my partner!"
"Hey·· ··What to say to the boss····I···· Tanuki··· Tanuki···"
"By the way, although we played half the night. But--"
Robin is resting his chin,
"What is the purpose of the red count? If we know the purpose, maybe we can preempt the layout."
"It’s strange to say that we and The legendary Pirate should have no conflict, right?"
Franky also took the topic. As for Luffy who jumped up and down and shouted, "I want to be the Pirate King," that is of course the daily background board of the Straw Hat group. .
"No matter what his purpose is, don't you know if you find the other person and ask?"
Facing Zoro with an excited look, Usopp pointed out his intentions sharply:
"Are you simply excited about meeting the great swordsman, right?"
"The boss said he came to find a'Devil Fruit'."
Little civet cat is lifting her head,
"Although I don't know what fruits..."
"Thank you for telling us...but telling such an important thing Are we okay?"
Faced with Brook's problem, Patong shook the head.
"As long as I really want to be a partner, you will let me join, right?"
"In that case, I want to at least help everyone... ··"
"But, even if we know that Red Count is looking for Devil Fruit, we don’t have any clues?"
Faced with frowning Nami, Roman certainly couldn’t say something directly. 'I know what Red Count is looking for is: Zoan · Bat Fruit · Mythical Type · vampire Devil Fruit' but with a normal staff thinking:
"Want to know what Devil Fruit is, we Keeping track of the red count is the easiest way. ——Of course, I’m still the old saying, we have nothing to lose and we can leave."
"Okay, that's it! Let's keep chasing!"
"I think you just want to continue the big adventure, right?"
Usopp clutched his chest,
"I got it' The disease of not being able to go to the island'·····"
"Are we on the island now?"
Faced with Sanji's complaints, Usopp immediately changed his words:
p>
"I have the disease of being unable to go deep into the island."
"We are now in the depths of the island."
Holy man Jinbe Make up the knife, Usopp burst into tears:
"Then I...I have the disease of being unable to get close to the red count..."
"Okay, you are sick Isn’t it too precise?"
Roman rolled the eyes and pointed to the front:
"Everyone else is gone. If you don’t want to move on, just stay here alone. ."
"Don’t wait for me!!"
No blame for Usopp’s “returning to the old”, it’s really the kick before the red count, even the Straw Hat group Several major forces can't hold it, Usopp has a crispy skin... No, a meat ADC doesn't want to be beaten in vain.
It's a pity that the group of enthusiastic guys in front didn't put his words in the heart at all.
——————
"Here is it?"
"Don't know..."
"I I don’t know either."
"Unknown scenery +1"
"It’s weird, why don’t all of us have an impression?"
Because of the previous The'levels' correspond to the events and powerful enemies experienced by the Straw Hat group. Basically, you can see where it is at a glance, and you can immediately know who the'BOSS' you are going to deal with is, but this is the only one in front of you. Village:
It's just an ordinary village. Two or three-story small wood houses are sparsely scattered, fences are circled into pastures, and a winding dirt road that has been trampled passes through the small village. Extend to the port.
If you want to say the only special thing, it is that there are several tall windmills in the village, which are slowly turning by the sea breeze.
"Ah! This is—"
"Luffy, do you know this?"
In the face of everyone's eyes, the startled Luffy nodded.
"Yes, this is the place where I grew up: Foosha Village in East Blue'Goa Kingdom'."
Luffy took the crowd to'visit' his own with emotion on his face. Although he has no relatives in his hometown, he can talk about everything he is familiar with:
"Here is the tavern of Makino elder sister. I used to listen to Pirates telling stories, Usopp. Father Yasopp mentioned him every day..."
This is a small tavern, but it carries Luffy's childhood dreams.
If there weren't those adventure stories that Pirate’s mouth was like a heavenly steed, soaring across the skies, would Luffy not want to go out to sea?
"This dock...At that time, Shanks gave me this Straw Hat group here,"
Luffy took off the Straw Hat on top of his head and looked at this piece The empty dock has a rare serious expression of nostalgia.
"I once said here that I want to gather a group of partners who will not lose to Shanks and find the world's first treasure——"
The voice of the teenager with open arms is at the dock Reverberating, just as it was in the past.
"I want to be Pirate King!!!"
"So—"
Bring on the Straw Hat, Luffy turned his head and smiled and looked behind him Friends.
"My friends, how do we compare to'Yonko' now?"
·····
"Can I talk about it?"
"Pirate King, I only admit it is you!"
"We must be the world's number one Pirates!"
"Of course, we take this as The goal is now..."
Everyone standing here has no doubt that Luffy can climb to the top! Because of this, peak genius in various fields, even Roman is willing to board his ship. Although Luffy has a lot of ills, he has never wavered a little bit about his dreams and his dedication to his partners!
And this:
is enough.
"Hehe, next I will take you to visit my childhood home!"
As everyone climbed down the road to a mountain next to Foosha Village, Luffy While walking and introducing:
"This is'Gorbo Mountain', where I met Ace and Sabo for the first time."
Although it is just an ordinary hill , But it is the happiest moment of Luffy's childhood. As well as the most naive dream, it was also at that time that Luffy made the promise to be the freest person in the world.
"Ace?"
Faced with the doubts of Patong the little civet cat, Chopper explained to him:
"It is Luffy’s big brother, two years ago ···"
"No, nothing."
With Luffy leading the way, the entire group came:
Here?
Roman's eyes fell on a tree stump with three glasses of wine on it. In an instant, he thought of a probability!
"Ah, this is the place where I and Ace and Sabo become brothers."
"Is the brother's worship wine?"
The emotion facing Zoro , Roman has already guessed:
"That is to say, this time the opponent is—"
Come on lifting, looked towards the trunk next to it. There is a small wood house built between tree branches. Of course, the more important thing is:
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Luffy "
!
"Ace?!"
As the others looked up, it was a man squatting on a tree trunk with his upper body shirtless. He pressed it down and had a'smiley face' and'sadness' on top of his head. 'Two badged cowboy hats, a freckled face with a smile.
"Che, is the fruit still the same thing?"
Sanji's unhappy snorted, even if it is facing Yonko, it is better than facing this, right?
"It doesn't look like it doesn't work if you don't fight it?"
Facing Nami who opened the book, Ace nodded next to the tree house.
"Yes."
"Luffy,"
Nami, who was covered with lightning and began to flicker, was already thinking about how to deal with the'flame'.
"Leave this one to us..."
"No, I will come."
"But..."
Nami who still wants to say something is pulled by Roman,
"Luffy said he will come, let him go."
And... ·The real Ace did not die. It was not that Roman wanted to hide it deliberately, but Ace asked Roman to keep it secret. But-it shouldn't be long before you can surprise Luffy, right?
Just when Roman was wandering, the Ace on the tree had already jumped down, and while posing for an attacking posture, raging flames burned on his arms!
"I'm going to go, Luffy!"
"Well, I won't lose to you."
Ace, even if I have never won before Had you once; but now it is different, for my partner, for Pirate King’s dream——
"Rubber Eagle Rifle!"
"Hiken!"
As the fists of the two brothers collided with each other, Roman created a floating'platform' to carry others up and retreat to watch the battle. After all, this is the forest...and Ace's ability is fire.
This start is not just as simple as "a fire on the mountain", but a war of flames! Chi Yan is all over the sky! All of a sudden,'Ace' and Luffy were inextricably beaten in the flames. But:
"Luffy is going to win,"
In the New World battle, Haki is always a vital part. The powerful Busoshoku Haki can make people stand upright, and the sensitive Kenbunshoku Haki can make people dodge attacks, discover the other party’s intentions, and even:
foresee the future····
"Da Yan Ring·Flame Emperor!!”
Falling down in the fierce battle, Ace directly chose to leap to the high altitude to condense the ultimate move. The huge Fireball like the second “sun” appeared on the top of the mountain, radiating wanton. Light and heat! Everyone in the Straw Hat group who was roasting far away to watch the battle was all sweat evaporating as soon as the sweat came out! Several furry tribes and Zoan all have their tongues on the ground...paper.
"Luffy, be careful!"
Faced with the crashing down of the giant Fireball, Luffy instantly entered the fourth gear mode, and at the same time put a fist in a fearless posture.
"Come on--!"
"Rubber industry fire Orochi cannon!"
Boom——! ! !
Like the sun bursting, only the white rays of light and the crimson flames were left in the eyes of everyone watching the battle! The terrifying high temperature has left patches of colorful colors in everyone's retinas, which can't disappear for a long time. Under this shocking impact, the entire'Galbo Mountain' has become the'Galbo Basin'. And as the flames, smoke and dust dissipated, it melted into the huge crater of magma:
"Luffy won."
The victory of Luffy who stood without a doubt , And Ace had dropped his head and sat down on the other side. The huge pit behind him described the impact he had suffered.
"I don't understand..."
Little civet cat Patong looked at everything in front of him, of course not being confused about the intensity of the battle, but:
"That person should be important to Luffy, right?"
"Why can he fight seriously..."
"It is because of the importance, "
Roman let the paper platform slowly lower, while explaining casually.
“That’s why you have to fight seriously. Don’t you use fists to express the communication between men?”
“Because it’s important, do you take it seriously... "
"Don't always care about others, Little Patong."
Nami squatted down and touched the head of the little civet cat,
"What about yourself Is it okay for you to be replaced by that kind of "duplicate" in your place next to important people?"
"Boss····Location by your side······"
Reminiscent of the happy time together in the ocean, those who talked about their ideals with Roger, and talked with Whitebeard about their wine...
"Because you simply don’t know the boss, so you will say In this case!"
"Ah, we don't understand."
Luffy looked towards the little civet cat, who came over,
"Among all the people here, The one who knows him best is you!"
So, do you want to face your own heart, or continue to escape?
