Chapter 8: Ace
The Navy ship has been sailing in the East China Sea for two days, and it will take some time before it reaches the 197th Division of the Navy on Joseph Island in the East China Sea. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the past two days, Rhodes was inevitably seasick. Colonel Adolf, who was already familiar with Rhodes, laughed: "If this were in the windy and rough conditions of the Great Route, Rhodes would have to lie in bed all the time. ”
And since One Piece Roger started the Age of Discovery, although the East China Sea is called the weakest sea, it does not mean that it has not been infested by pirates.
Joseph Island is fine, after all, it is a naval branch. But Rhodes could see quite a few pirates along the way, and even a few pirates who had just come out to sea and didn't have long eyes dared to attack their naval ships directly.
But there is no need to think about it at all, naturally it is easy to be bombarded into scum by the ship cannons on the ships of the navy.
"Is this the pirates?" Rhodes was very unoptimistic about the various pirates he had encountered in the past two days.
Take stock of the pirates that can be called in the East China Sea, the Black Cat Pirates, the Bucky Pirates, the Aaron Pirates, and the Creek Pirates. None of them can get their hands on it, and it's helpless to think about it.
It's the year 1517 of the Lunar Calendar, and Luffy went to sea in the year 1520 of the Lunar Calendar.
"It's a bit reckless to go to sea so early, wait another three years. With Luffy and the group of guys who are called the most evil generation, they turned the world upside down. ”
Rhodes decided to postpone the voyage for three years.
There are many reasons for this, it is undoubtedly reckless to go to sea without knowing the world pattern, and Rhodes does not know how to sail a boat, and even seasickness. At the same time, Rhodes was still young, and the systematic training and formal teaching in the naval branch was of great significance to him.
So he decided to join the Navy temporarily and dive for three years.
As he rested in the cabin, there was a commotion and a loud sound of artillery firing outside.
"Ah...... Did you meet pirates again?" Rhodes sat up from his bed and stepped out of the cabin to the deck.
"Damn it! Calibrate it! Sink that wrecked ship!" Colonel Adolf was directing the battle.
Under the command of Colonel Adolf, a cadre of naval soldiers was quickly reloading, calibrating, firing.
A series of artillery guns were fired, but they all fell on the sea, causing only a small wave and no longer having any effect.
"Are you all stupid?!" Adolf really couldn't believe why the quality of the soldiers on his ship was so poor, compared to the elite of the Navy Headquarters, it was really different, "It's so close, why can't you fight accurately!"
As Adolf shouted, the boat approached the navy ship, and the young man on board leapt to his feet and landed on the deck, quickly dismissing the two soldiers before they could raise their guns to attack.
Immediately after that, he rushed to Colonel Adolf.
"Shaving. ”
The childish boy originally thought that he could knock down this seemingly weak navy with a single punch, but he didn't expect that his fist was blocked by a guy who suddenly came to him.
"How is that possible...... ...... so soon," the look of surprise on the young man's face was undisguised.
And Rhodes, who easily blocked the young man's attack, was even more surprised, he felt that countless waves had stirred up in his heart that had been dull for a long time.
"Ai ...... Ace. "Rhodes is still a sentimental person, in One Piece, if you want to say that he wants to be resurrected the most, it is Portcas D. Ace, and now that he has come to the One Piece world, looking at Ace who looks like a teenager, it is difficult to hide his excitement.
Ace's originally surprised face was even more surprised, and at the same time there was a hint of vigilance, he said, "You know me?"
Rhodes realized that he had just said the wrong thing on impulse, and he fell silent.
Colonel Adolf came to his senses and immediately stopped the soldiers from surrounding Ace.
"It's a shame to let a hairy boy rush to the ship!" said Colonel Adolf, angrily.
After hearing the colonel's order, all the soldiers loaded their muskets and aimed them at Ace.
Ace, who had just gone to sea, was obviously a little flustered.
"Colonel. ”
"Huh?" Colonel Adolf, who was about to give the order to open fire, noticed that Rhodes was calling him, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"What were you doing when you were seventeen?" asked Rhodes.
Adolf didn't understand why Rhodes asked such a question at such a juncture, but because of Rhodes' strength, he still said: "I just joined the army. ”
"Then you say, if you die at the age of seventeen, will you still go from a small soldier to a colonel in charge of a ship?"
"No...... No. Adolf stuttered a little.
Rhodes turned and walked to the cabin: "Let him go, he's just a child, it's understandable to do wrong things, don't cut off a person's future." ”
"Damn!" Ace yelled as he looked at Rhodes in the distance, "You're a child, aren't you?"
Ace was originally concerned about why Rhodes knew his name, but now Rhodes easily diverted the topic.
Seeing that Rhodes didn't reply until he walked into the cabin, Ace became even more angry.
Even more angry than him was Colonel Adolf, who forced his anger and said, "You go! Don't let us meet you again!" If it weren't for Rhodes' stop and his great strength, Adolf would never have let this pirate go.
"Shut up!" Ace knocked Colonel Adolf back with a punch, and the other soldiers had just lowered their guns before they could raise them again before they were knocked down by Ace one by one.
"Hey, cocky guy, get out of here!" Ace screamed and rushed into the cabin.
Rhodes, who was just about to lie on the bed, saw Ace rushing in and sighed helplessly.
"Now, apologize for admitting my mistakes, and I'll spare you. Ace said.
"You're not leaving, do you have to let me 'invite' you away?" asked Rhodes.
"That depends on whether you have the strength to do so!" Ace punched again.
Rhodes easily dodged, thinking to himself: Will you do this trick?
Rhodes didn't want to get entangled with Ace either, he was worried that everything he did would cause a butterfly effect and cause the unknown. If such a consequence is indeed caused, then the advantage that Rhodes is proud of knowing the plot will disappear.
"Arashik!"
Rhodes's move even deliberately weakened the power, after all, he didn't want to hurt Ace.
Even if the power was weakened, this kick still injured Ace.
"How is that possible...... Such a strong ......" Ace felt incredulous.
Rhodes ignored Ace, but picked him up, took him to the deck, and threw him on Ace's boat, saying, "Let's go, the Great Voyage is where you are going." ”
"Bastard, I'm going to the Great Voyage in the future! I'm going to fight you to the death. Ace stood on the boat and yelled at Rhodes.
Rhodes nodded and said, "In three years, I will go." ”
"Okay! Ace knew that he couldn't beat Rhodes now, so he had to drive away.
"What's your name?" Ace asked from the boat.
"Rhodes, Abner Rhodes. ”
