Chapter 88: Ace and the Black Cauldron
"You cowardly fellows have finally dared to come out. Looking at the red-haired group that was gradually approaching, the thieves led by Sieg immediately turned their weapons at the redhead and the others.
Of course, the bandit who pointed his pistol at Luffy didn't change his muzzle.
"Unfortunately, it's too late. Sigurt gestured to the bandit who was pointing a gun at Luffy Jr. and motioned for him to do it.
Bang.
With a gunshot rang out, a figure looked backwards, and just as Sig was about to say something, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, because little Luffy was lying on the ground, and it was impossible for him to fall.
"Bastards, you're looking for death. Sig looked at the fat man in green clothes who appeared next to Luffy at some point, the short gun in his hand was still in the same state as before the shot, and there was still smoke in front of the muzzle, and the fat man in green clothes roared loudly.
Bang.
Just when Sieg was about to pull out the long sword at his waist, the sound of people falling to the ground behind him startled him, and when Sieg turned around and saw the scene behind him, his body couldn't help but shudder, because at this time, the nearly forty bandits behind him had all fallen.
"If you want to fight us, you need at least one naval warship. Ben Beckman was already pointing his pistol at Seeger's head as he spoke.
"At least two admirals must be added to the warship. After hearing Ben Beckman's words, Ye Wuji silently added a sentence in his heart.
"Bastard. Looking at all of his fallen men, Sieg cursed and quickly dropped a smoke bomb, then quickly picked up Luffy on the ground and began to run away.
"Remember for me, I must avenge this revenge. "As a thief with a reward of eight million, Sig has nearly three hundred subordinates, and he is also one of the top ten in the East China Sea, among the many pirates and bandits.
At this time in the East China Sea, in addition to the captain of the Bucky Pirates, Bucky, who was offered a bounty of fifteen million, there was also the second-ranked leader of the Creek Pirates, who was only offered a bounty of 12 million, and the third was the leader of the Black Cat Pirates, 10 million.
The entire East China Sea has a bounty of more than 10 million for these three pirates.
Although there are not a few of the remaining pirates, they are all those who do not exceed 10 million.
Bucky seems to have used the East China Sea as a base, and has never left the East China Sea since Roger's death.
When Sieg was ruthless in his heart and was about to go back to gather his men to take revenge, Ye Wuji looked at the red-haired pirates who seemed to be blocked by smoke bombs with a speechless face.
Under the color of seeing and hearing, such smoke bombs are actually useless at all.
"Oh no, Luffy is gone. As the smoke cleared, the redhead screamed in panic.
"What, what can I do, go and save him. The old village chief on the side, as well as Magino, also immediately became nervous after hearing the red-haired words, and looked at the red-haired and the others with an anxious face, although the two knew the identities of the red-haired pirates and others, but after all, they were ordinary people, and they couldn't imagine what kind of ability the strong man had.
It was only because they thought that the red-haired pirates were also confused by the smoke bombs, so they let the bandit capture Luffy.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely rescue Luffy. After comforting Magino, the redhead immediately chased in one direction.
"Ah, what are you guys doing, aren't you bored? After Magino helped the old village chief to leave, Ye Wuji slowly walked to Ben Beckman and the others, pretending to be curious and asked.
"This. Even if Ben Beckman was very wise, he was a little embarrassed to face Ye Wuji's question, and he didn't know how to answer.
Originally, he was ready to shoot, but was secretly stopped by the redhead, and then the redhead's actions made Ben Beckman not know what to say.
Luckily, he's a pirate, so even if he doesn't answer Ye Wuji's question, it's nothing.
For Ben Beckman's silence, Ye Wuji smiled and didn't say anything more, he wanted to see if the redhead would still play a bitter trick with him.
"It's really coming. It didn't take long for him to look at the red-haired Shanks, who had lost his left arm and walked back with the help of Luffy with tears on his face, and Ye Wuji suddenly fell silent.
In order to lead Luffy, one of the Four Emperors gave up an arm, although it was not his usual hand, but it would definitely have an impact on the strength of the redhead, and people who did not have enough courage would not dare to do so.
And the most important thing is that the redhead dares to do this while Ye Wuji is still there, if Ye Wuji makes a move at this time, although it cannot be said that he can completely destroy the red-haired pirates, it can definitely give the red-haired pirates a fatal blow.
"Shanks. When the ship doctor of the Red-Haired Pirates stepped forward to treat Shanks, little Luffy stood in front of Shanks, tears streaming down his eyes.
Ben Beckman was also very shocked when he saw the redhead's severed arm, but then Ben Beckman immediately showed his vice-captain's ability, and when he arranged for someone to treat the redhead, several of them immediately scattered around Ye Wuji, guarding Ye Wuji.
"Looks like I'm not welcome here. Looking at the guarded red-haired pirates, Ye Wuji smiled and shook his head, then turned and left.
Three days later, in the small port of Windmill Town, the redhead who had recovered from his injuries led the members of the Pirates under his command to board the Redvoss, and the main force of the Redhead Pirates, who had been here for almost a year, finally decided to return to the New World.
After Luffy swore to the redhead that he would become the king of the pirates in the future, the redhead pressed the straw hat on Luffy's head, and the future straw hat Luffy finally had his straw hat.
"We're leaving, so you should rest assured. After saying goodbye to Luffy with tears streaming down his face, the redhead walked to the side of Yamowgli.
"Is it worth it at such a big price? Ye Wuji said directly.
"Who knows. After leaving these words, the red-haired Shanks got on the boat and left.
"This guy doesn't delay both public and private. ”
Looking at the red hair that kept waving at Magino on the boat at the edge of the port, and the affectionate eyes of Magino looking at the red hair, this idea suddenly welled up in Ye Wuji's heart.
"I'm leaving, and next, I'm going to work hard for you. With the Redforth gone, Redhead took out a phone bug with his remaining right hand and contacted an old friend of his.
"Shanks, you bastard, you guy is lying to me again, I've been looking for so long, but I haven't found Unan's treasure. "There came a very familiar voice from Shanks, Bucky the Clown.
"Look for it slowly, anyway, there is still time, you must know that Wu Nan was called a gold thief at the beginning, and there must be a large amount of gold hidden somewhere in the East China Sea. Shanks said with a smile to the phone bug.
"I see, you get out of here, you hide here for a day, I'm not comfortable for a day, okay, I'm going to look for treasure, goodbye. Bucky hung up the phone as he spoke, looking very anxious about the treasure.
On the island where Windmill Town is located, on a big tree deep in the mountains and forests, Ye Wuji sat on the branch, looking at Ace who was hiding money in a hidden place below, and couldn't help but say: "Hey, what do you want to do with saving so much money." ”
The sudden appearance of the human voice made Ace startled, and reflexively sealed the money hiding place, and then quickly grabbed the water pipe that was put aside, and then looked at the place where the sound appeared.
"It's you. Ace looked at Ye Wuji above in surprise, and from the expression on Ace's face, Ye Wuji immediately understood that Ace knew his identity.
"What do you want to do?" Ace looked at Ye Wuji's expression at this time, full of vigilance.
"No, Lieutenant General Karp knows I'm here and asks me to come and see his two grandchildren. Ye Wuji said with a smile.
"You're lying. Ace said coldly at Ye Wuji.
"Why do you say I'm lying, aren't you the grandson of Lieutenant General Karp. Ye Wuji continued to say with a smile.
"Yes or no, it has nothing to do with you. Ace said and was about to turn around and leave, as for the place where the money was kept, it was exposed, so he could only wait for the next time he came to transfer.
"Then One Piece Roger has nothing to do with you? ”
"Who the hell are you?"
Ye Wuji's words suddenly made Ace stop, turned around suddenly, stared at Ye Wuji coldly with both eyes, and the right hand holding the water pipe was even more bruised, his nails were deeply sunk into his palm, and blood dripped down from his palm little by little.
"It seems that you know what the relationship between Roger and you is, so who told you the news, I don't think Lieutenant General Karp will tell you about it. ”
Ye Wuji actually regretted it when he said Roger's name just now, because Ace at this time might not necessarily know who his real father was.
Because Ace's identity should be.
Even Whitebeard deduced from Ace's surname and first name that Ace was Roger's child, and with the death of Roger and Lou Jiu, this secret should be that only one person knows Ace's identity, and that is Vice Admiral Karp.
The navy learned of Ace's identity, which was similar to Whitebeard's, and it was also opened through his name.
But at this time, Ace's name should be Monchi D Ace, not Portecas D Ace.
"Karp, bastard. Thinking of this, Ye Wuji couldn't help but scold, no matter what the reason, but since Karp is the only one who knows Ace's identity, then the leakage of Ace's identity must have been caused by Karp.
Such a serious secret dares to be leaked casually to others, and if Roger knows, I'm afraid he will also suspect that he is not trusting.
And Ye Wuji is sure that Karp doesn't even know Ace's true identity now, the reason is very simple, if Karp knew, he would definitely not let Ace be so laissez-faire.
I'm afraid that Karp is still dreaming of joining the Navy when the two brothers, Ace and Luffy, become adults.
"Forget it, now that you already know, it doesn't matter, what is your name now. After the two were silent for a long time, Ye Wuji asked first.
"Portecas d Ace. Ace said directly.
"Potkas, is your mother's last name, give you a piece of advice, if you want to be a pirate, you can, change your last name. Silently pronouncing this surname, Ye Wuji immediately knew that this was Ace's mother's surname.
After becoming a vice admiral, he has access to a large amount of naval intelligence, including Roger's wife, the island where Roger once haunted, all the women of the right age on it, all the records of the navy, and until now, the navy is secretly tracking down whether Roger has blood left in the world.
The world government has also been on the track.
In the original book, Ace, when he first became famous, was strictly investigated by the navy because of his surname, if it weren't for Whitebeard's quick movements, he immediately found Ace under his command and protected him, I'm afraid Ace would have been caught by the navy a long time ago.
"It's my name, my only name, and I'm definitely not going to change it. In the face of Ye Wuji's advice, Ace just looked at him coldly.
"Do you want to die, do you know what kind of effort your mother has made to keep you alive, and do you repay her with this attitude? ”
Ace's mother is the clearest woman in the night Wuji, all of which stems from the fact that she is a very great mother, in order to save Ace's life, she conceived Ace for twenty months, and finally gave birth to Ace, and died of exhaustion.
Originally, Ye Wuji didn't want to care about Ace, because Ace was purely looking for death by himself, but considering the great mother, Ye Wuji wondered if it would change Ace's fate.
It's all a tribute to that great mother.
It's a pity that it's too late now, and now Ace is no longer something that can be persuaded in a few words, of course, he can also arrest Ace now, and then trap him, until everything is accepted, and when he is released, Ace's fate will definitely change.
But this is not only too complicated, but if it is really implemented, it may directly expose Ace's identity, and he will capture Ace, so what excuse to use to deal with Karp.
"Karp, idiot. ”
In the final analysis, everything is Karp's reason, so that Ye Wuji couldn't help but scold again, obviously there are many people in Windmill Town who are suitable for adopting Luffy and Ace, but they just found a group of bandits to adopt them.
It's a pity that what Night Wuji didn't know was that the leakage of Ace's identity was done by the thief Dadan, who Karp trusted very much, and when Ace's prank was very excessive, Dadan didn't think about it, blurted out Ace's identity, and said that Ace had the blood of the demon Roger on his body.
Because of Roger's era of pirates, except for a few people who know Roger, most people regard Roger as a demon and hate it very much.
It's not a demon, how can it cause such a big killing.
It is precisely for this reason that Ace is very disgusted with Roger.
If it is forgivable for Dadan to inadvertently blurt out Ace's identity, then she was afraid that Karp would get angry and concealed the situation and did not tell Karp, which was her biggest mistake, and it was this mistake that led to Ace's death.
If Dadan had contacted Karp immediately after revealing Ace's background, things might have been different.
"Forget it, whatever you want, if you don't regret it. Looking at Ace's determined expression, Ye Wuji shook his head helplessly.
The so-called medicine does not kill the disease, if Ace is bent on finding death, he doesn't care, Ace is not his person, and it is not worth his too much effort on him.
"The tomb of the second brother Sabo, are they the three brothers who are married, and there is a Sabo?"
Looking at the lonely cemetery in the depths of the mountains and forests, and the words on the tombstone, plus Ace and Luffy will often come to this tombstone to worship, Ye Wuji suddenly felt very surprised in his heart.
It seems that there is no one else around Luffy and Ace in his memory.
After a few short days of observing Luffy and Ace, Night Mowgli was about to leave Windmill Town, but at this time, he received a call from Sengoku, the headquarters of the Navy.
"What did you bastard do, didn't I say, try not to do it. As soon as the phone bug was connected, there was a roar of anger from the Warring States.
"But it's just a discussion, there's no need to be so angry. "Ye Wuji is very puzzled by the anger of the Warring States.
"Sparring, then why cut off one of his hands, do you want to trigger an all-out war between the navy and the four emperors. Sengoku continued to roar.
"What, what did you say?" Warring States' words suddenly made Ye Wuji have a very bad premonition.
