Chapter 45 Ace: What is going on?

Chapter 45 Ace: What is going on?

"call..."

Will took a deep breath, then stored both devil fruits into the system.

Then he said to Cobra: "Next, I will take over Baroque Works."

When Will said this, both Cobra and Vivi's faces changed. With Crocodile's example before them, they were really scared.

According to their wishes, after pacifying the rebellion, they would destroy the Baroque Works as soon as possible.

Seeing the expressions on Will's face, he couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, I have no interest in your country... I just want the intelligence capability of Baroque Works. Moreover, we can reach a cooperation, as long as you support Baroque Works in the kingdom and provide a superficial cover. Then, I will let my partners help you quell the rebellion. At the same time, we can share all the information of Baroque Works!"

After saying that, he looked at Cobra and Vivi and said nothing more.

Because this is a win-win situation, unless you are a fool, you will never refuse...

Sure enough, after thinking for a while, Cobra said to Will, "It's okay, but I will never allow this Baroque Works to get out of my control."

Will smiled softly: "I said cooperation! Naturally, we will jointly control it... Moreover, you can send some people who are loyal to you to join in. In this way, all the affairs of Baroque Works will not be hidden from you."

After saying this, Will looked as if... See! I'm very sincere.

Honestly speaking, the benefits of working with Cobra outweigh the disadvantages.

Because, with the cover of Cobra and the Kingdom, Baroque Works can be more secretive, even if it is really targeted by the World Government.

Cobra can also stand up and say that this is his Alabasta Kingdom intelligence system. The World Government can do nothing about it... and there will be no doubt. After all, which country does not have its own intelligence system?

The most crucial thing is Will's definition of Baroque Works, which is an intelligence system.

Apart from intelligence, everything else will continue to be obtained as before. As long as they don't mess with the Kingdom of Alabasta and affect the cooperative relationship between the two countries, it will be fine.

Cobra was silent for a long time, then nodded. He agreed....it was because Will was sincere!

The most important thing is that through Crocodile's chaos in the country, Cobra also understood that for a country, intelligence and strong people are indispensable.

Therefore, even if Will hadn't proposed it, he would have devoted all his efforts to developing the kingdom's intelligence system. Now that there was a ready-made opportunity for development, why would he miss it?

Moreover, after forming an alliance with Will, it means that he has the protection of Will, a powerful man who can kill the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Just like the islands in the New World that fly pirate flags, isn't it for the purpose of being protected? So, for the sake of national security, why not cooperate with Will?

So, the two of them continued to talk very harmoniously.

.....

Will's battle is over.

But Luffy found that Mr. 3, Miss. Golden Week, and Miss. Valentine were caught up. As a man of honor, he also turned around and prepared to fight Smoker.

Then, he saw Mr. 3 chasing and beating Smoker.

The boss with the open mouth!

Then he began to doubt his life. In his opinion, his strength was definitely above Mr. 3. However, the smoking guy abused him so much that he was unable to resist.

But he was chased and beaten by Mr.3. So, he was confused...

Mr.3 hits the smoker, and the smoker hits him!

He is the weakest!

The smoker beat him, and he beat Mr.3.

Mr.3 is the weakest, right!

He beats Mr. 3, and Mr. 3 beats the smoker.

The smoker is the weakest, right?

For a moment, he was a little confused about who was stronger and who was weaker. However, Luffy was just an idiot to the others.

But when it comes to fighting, he is definitely a genius among geniuses.

Soon he discovered the key thing, that is, every time Mr. 3 could effectively attack the smoker, the wax produced by Mr. 3 would be covered with a layer of black substance.

This is definitely not Arrogance. Luffy's eyes lit up!

"shave..."

In an instant, he disappeared from the spot, and when he appeared again, he was already next to Mr. 3, scaring him.

Mr. 3 said angrily: "Didn't you run away? Why did you come back?"

Luffy ignored this and asked directly: "What is this black thing of yours? Why can it hit that smoker?"

Mr.3 rolled his eyes. He felt that the guy in front of him was a little confused.

A captive, a sparring partner. He even asked about this kind of training secrets... He was not stupid. However, after spending some time with him, he understood the character of this idiot.

He said directly: "Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's talk about this topic after we kill this navy."

Luffy thought about it for a while, then looked at Mr. 3, then looked at Smoker. He felt that what Mr. 3 said made sense, and he had to defeat the navy first.

"asshole...."

Is Smoker really no match for Mr. 3?

Really not necessarily!

However, he was tricked by Mr. 3 before and was seriously injured. Most importantly, he just received a call from the warship about the two female pirates who had just escaped from him.

The navy that was attacking the warship, her deputy, Tashigi, was almost unable to hold on. Perhaps, she had already fallen... After all, during the call.

Dashigi's screams came through the Den Den Mushi. So, he didn't want to get entangled with Mr. 3 at all... He couldn't help but glare at Luffy fiercely.

Reluctantly, he turned into smoke and headed straight towards his own warship at an extremely fast speed!

Seeing this, Mr. 3's face changed and he couldn't help but speed up...

"Mr.3, you don't need to chase me..."

And at this moment, the voice of Miss Valentine was heard in the sky.

"Huh?" Mr. 3 couldn't help but stop and looked up. Miss Valentine was right above their heads!

He was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Did you just let them get through to the Den Den Mushi and then destroy it so that they would lose interest in the battle?"

Miss. Valentine nodded: "Yes... Originally, we wanted to capture those navy troops as threats. But if we think about it carefully, it will inevitably lead to a stalemate. What if there is a more powerful navy coming? We really can't escape... So, it's better to do this..."

Mr.3 nodded: "A wise choice..."

Then he asked, "Miss. Golden Week?"

Miss. Valentine: "She's waiting for us out front!"

Mr.3: "Let's go to the designated location and meet the captain."

As he said that, he immediately turned around and headed in the opposite direction. However, he did not forget to look back and muttered in his heart: "Just wait! We will get back at this sooner or later."

"Oh...wait for me!"

Seeing the sudden change in the situation, Luffy was a little overwhelmed for a moment. However, when they saw Mr. 3 and Miss. Valentine leave, they followed closely.

.....

Two days later.

Mr.3, Miss. Golden Week, Miss. Valentine's Day, and Luffy, the idiot. Came to the town that Will had made an appointment with... Sometimes fate is so magical.

Not long after entering the town, Luffy was still pestering Mr. 3, asking him questions about Armament Haki.

One has black hair and freckles on his cheeks. He has a tattoo of "ASCE" on his left arm and a tattoo of "Whitebeard Pirates" on his back.

A man wearing an orange cowboy hat and a red bead necklace around his neck.

I couldn't help but widen my eyes as I looked at Mr. 3, Miss. Golden Week, Miss. Valentine and Luffy who walked in.

An incredible look on his face!

"Luffy?"

"Huh? Who called me?" Luffy turned his head in confusion.

The next second he saw the man not far away?

"Ace?"

Luffy immediately screamed excitedly, and then ran towards Ace quickly.

Ace also looked happy and asked, "Why are you here too?"

After saying this, he glanced at Mr. 3, Miss. Golden Week, and Miss. Valentine's Day, and added, "Are these three your new partners?"

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Because he was always paying attention to Luffy's news, but he had never heard of these three guys.

Luffy heard this: "They are not... My friends are not here."

His partner was there, but he was hanging out with these three people. Ace was even more confused. He couldn't help but ask, "Who are they? Your friends?"

Luffy pinched his nose and was a little reluctant to answer this question. After all, it would be embarrassing to be caught by someone!

Miss. Valentine raised her eyebrows: "Who are you? You look like..."

Before she finished her words, Miss Valentine was covered by Mr. 3. At the same time, he looked at Ace in shock, because he remembered.

The guy in front of me is Ace with the Fire Fist.

One of the Four Emperors, Captain of the Second Division of the Whitebeard Pirates.

“Gurgle…”

He couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead. He didn't understand. How could such a big shot, not in the New World, come to the first half of the Grand Line?

This kind of person is definitely not someone the three of them can deal with.

Moreover, even if the captain was here, he didn't want the captain to have a falling out with the other party. It was because the gap between the current Wei Di Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates was too big.

Seeing Mr. 3's expression and Miss. Valentine's tone of voice, Ace frowned even more and couldn't help but ask Luffy again, "Who are they?"

Luffy looked up, picking his nose, looking like he had absolutely no intention of answering.

Ace: “…”

Afterwards, his face couldn't help but darken, and he took out the aura of an older brother, looking at Luffy coldly.

Luffy: “…”

All right! I was a little scared, so I said with a guilty look on my face: "Well, they caught me!"

"what?"

Ace knew something was wrong, but he never expected it to be like this! He immediately raised his hands, looking like he was ready to fight.

As an older brother, he would never allow anyone to bully his younger brother.

Absolutely not.

Mr.3 immediately stood up and shouted: "Stop..."

Ace looked unkind: "Why do you have anything else to say?"

Mr. 3 immediately said, "Have you ever seen someone capture a prisoner, make him delicious food, and improve his strength?"

After saying that, he pointed at Luffy and said, "And do you think he looks like he's been caught?"

"Ah this..."

Ace looked at Luffy who was completely unrestrained. Well, this really doesn't look like it at all... But what is going on?

"Tsk tsk, Whitebeard Pirates, Captain of the Second Division, Fire Fist Ace. I never thought that he would be here. And to meet in this way!"

"But isn't it not nice for you to bully my crew like this?"
