Chapter 912 Portgas D. Ace (10)
The entire Whitebeard Pirates went out in pursuit, and although there were casualties, it was not as heavy as in the plot, with only a few left.
Several of their captains divided Whitebeard's jurisdiction into parts and began to act separately as a brotherhood.
But everyone agreed to get together on Yunci's island from time to time, and as for normal times, whoever is free can come.
Now that his enemy had been dealt with, Ace really had nothing to do, but Roger's words made Ace really reluctant to agree.
But Ace didn't want to reject Yun Ci, after all, she was his benefactor.
Lu Jiu noticed Ace's awkwardness and took the initiative to ask, "Ace, are you free?"
With Lu Jiu's steps down, Ace nodded awkwardly: "Little boss, I'll go with you later."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you then."
After confirming that the souls were all safe, everyone left, only Ace's ship continued to move along the island until it approached Shampoo Land.
Kojima stopped when he could see Shampooba in the distance.
Ace and Yunci boarded Ace's boat, waved goodbye to everyone, and prepared to set off.
Ace's boat was very small, and two people could only stand on it.
"Let me help you." Ace got on the boat first, then extended his hand to Yun Ci on the other side, "The boat is going very fast."
Yun Ci stood in front of Ace, stretched her left hand to the right, and held Ace's right hand.
The two stood very close, Yunci's back almost touching Ace's chest.
"let's go."
"it is good."
Flames spread out from under Ace's feet, and he started the ship through the device on the ship, and it sped towards Shampoo Land.
Yun Ci's body swayed and she leaned heavily into Ace's chest.
Ace's left hand, which was on his hat, subconsciously pressed Yun Ci's shoulder: "Be careful."
Yun Ci raised her head, stood on tiptoe, stretched out her arms to grab the string of his flying hat, and with a little force pulled the hat back that was blown away by the wind.
"Thank you."
Ace raised the corner of his lips: "You're welcome, thank you too."
He withdrew his hand from Yunci's shoulder and put on his hat again.
"Just stay here."
Yun Ci didn't hesitate and just snuggled in Ace's arms without getting up.
Ace sped up and carried Yunci forward.
At the place where Shampoo and Champ landed, there were many pirate ships docked. The rough-looking pirates were holding weapons and laughing wildly.
Ace stopped the boat to the side, jumped lightly onto the shore, then pulled the rope and pulled the boat towards the shore, extending his other hand to Yun Ci.
"bring it on."
The boy's smile was as bright as ever, but compared to Ace who had experienced the Battle of Marineford, he was a little more mature.
But when facing Roger, he was still very "childish".
"What are you doing in Shampooland?" Ace asked, then added, "If it's inconvenient to say, you don't have to."
"It's not inconvenient." Yun Ci said, "I'm here to look for the bear."
"Shichibukai?"
"Yes." Yun Ci took Ace to where Luffy's ship was docked. "His body has been transformed. Now he has no consciousness of his own, but his soul is still in his body, imprisoned, always looking outside, unable to react, unable to respond, unable to control his body, and can only watch himself attack his companions..."
Ace thought about what Yun Ci said and his expression didn't look good.
"If that's the case, I might as well die."
Yun Ci looked at Ace and said, "But everything about you has been mastered. Even without you, they can replicate other combat robots that use your appearance and abilities to attack."
Ace's expression became even uglier.
"It's better to kill all these guys before I die."
"But you are controlled now and cannot resist."
Ace scratched his head with an 'Ahhh' sound.
"This is not possible, and that is not possible...so why should I agree to this?"
"Maybe there is a reason why I have to agree."
The two chatted as they moved forward.
This attracted a lot of attention on the road. Everyone looked at Ace with complicated expressions, and at the Whitebeard logo behind him.
"'Fire Fist' Ace!" A pirate carried his weapon and stood in front of the two of them. "I'm so lucky today to see you here. Let's have a fight! Let me see if the 'Fire Fist' is really that powerful!"
Ace rubbed the back of his head: "Oh, sorry, I don't have time today, maybe next time."
"W-what?"
Ace's polite appearance confused the pirates who came to provoke him.
He said "Oh, Oh" twice, and made way in confusion. He only reacted after Yun Ci and Ace walked away.
Why should he give way?
Why are you so obedient?!
Ahhhhh!
Damn 'Fire Fist' Ace!
Hearing the roar from behind, Yun Ci chuckled.
"Mr. Ace, the voice seems to have magic power."
"Really? Ahahaha..." Ace touched his head embarrassedly, "Well, little boss, it's about time to change the name to someone else, right?"
"Ok?"
"It always sounds weird when you call that guy 'sir' and you call me 'sir'." Ace said, "Why don't you just call me by my name?"
"Okay, Ace."
Ace smiled and responded simply.
"Then don't call me little boss. I'm about the same age as you."
"Huh?! Really?!"
"real."
"I really can't tell. I thought you were very young." Ace said with a smile, "Then we are of the same generation."
"Yes, peers." Yun Ci's eyes fell on the street stalls, "That looks delicious, Ace, do you want to try it?"
"Oh, OK, I'll do it." Ace walked over directly, "Boss, give me two skewers of this..."
Yun Ci followed and whispered, "You moved all your treasures to the island before, do you still have money to pay the bill?"
Ace didn't hear clearly, so he leaned towards Yunci and asked, "What?"
Yun Ci repeated it, and then Ace's body remained frozen in this position.
Yun Ci found it very funny and went forward to pay the bill.
Ace's entire face turned red, "Sorry! I'll treat you next time!"
"Don't worry about it. You've given me so much. It's just a small matter for me to treat you to a few meals."
"This is different."
The guy told him that when he went out with a girl, he had to pay and carry the things.
Although he would have done so even if Roger hadn't told him.
"My two guests, your kebabs are ready! Thank you for your patronage!"
Ace took the skewer and handed one to Yunci.
"Here, is there anything else you want to eat?"
"That's all for now, let's go for a walk."
There is no rush for Xiong, he won’t leave in the next two years anyway.
It's been a long time since I came to Shampoo Land. It would be nice to walk around and do some shopping.
During this period of time, we have been making money but not spending anything. Yunci has not made any purchases for a long time.
"Let's go to the clothing store over there and take a look. Ace, do you want to bring something for Mr. Roger and Aunt Lu Jiu? I have something to give them."
"That's it..."
Ace looked at the clothes and accessories in the store, his eyes moved.
