Chapter 384: Ace
"Smoker..."
"It's that Colonel from Rogue Town!"
Nami and her entourage huddled in the pile of buildings on the side and watched the whole process, looking confused.
"Also... In other wordsβ" Usopp was surprised that he couldn't even speak, "that is to say, they went so far from Rogue Town in order to hunt us down!"
Zoro: "Looks like... Seems to be the case..."
"Looks like things are getting more and more troublesome..."
"Where the hell is that idiot!"
...
On the other side, Luffy.
The guy who rushed to the desert town in the morning didn't know when he lost his way, and at this time he was walking in the desert with a dry mouth, and he was almost hallucinating in front of him.
"I'm so hungry..."
Luffy leaned on the crutches he didn't know where to find them, looked up at the sky, and felt a sudden color in front of him, and the halo lingered in his eyes for a long time.
Over time, hallucinations appeared.
Town, barbecue.
Pieces of barbecue and towns appeared in front of Luffy's eyes, floating in the sky exactly as the boy thought, although it didn't make sense, but in Luffy's opinion, there was no problem at all.
"Meat!"
Luffy instantly became energetic, and Sayako rushed forward.
In fact, Luffy's deviation route is not too far, after all, he has only walked a few miles in total, fortunately, the direction of Luffy's hallucination is exactly the town that has been deviated for a long time.
With the crooked blow, Luffy rushed into the illusory real town in the blink of an eye.
"Where's the restaurant!Where's the restaurant?!"
Luffy licked his tongue and sped down the street, sniffing his nose up to the sky, and finally found the target and ran over as fast as he could.
...
On the other side, restaurants.
"Hey, hey... Did you hear that someone in the restaurant just died suddenly!"
"What?!really!"
The people gathered around the door of the restaurant, looked in unison, and saw a young man in strange clothes in front of the counter.
He wore an orange hat and fell headlong into a plate, holding a fork with pieces of meat stuck in it.
"It seems that he died suddenly while talking to his boss. β
"Looks like a traveler. β
"Everyone said he couldn't have eaten a strawberry in the desert by mistake..."
"Sand strawberries?"
"Well, that's right, it's a poisonous spider that looks like a red strawberry... If ingested by mistake, sudden death can occur after a few days, and the body will develop the virus a few hours later. β
"So no one dared to come near him..."
"yes... If you don't know anything in the desert, it's deadly..."
"Look at his right hand, which is holding up the flesh, and he is motionless..."
"I guess it's all frozen!"
In front of the man with the fork was a large pile of plates, apparently all of which he had eaten, and the man's head had been planted in the plate for a while, and behind him was the head of a cross with a white beard with a sickle.
"Sand strawberries are really toxic enough..."
Everyone couldn't help but sigh and show panicked expressions.
Suddenly, the man with his face buried in the plate moved!
He sat up at once, tilted his head to look at the piece of meat in his right hand, and shoved it into his mouth.
"Alive!!"
The crowd of onlookers exclaimed, and a waiter from a restaurant came over, a young and beautiful woman, wearing a knee-length dress, and said to the man:
"Are you alright?"
The man didn't say a word, just buried his face in the woman's skirt, wiped a handful of rice stains on his face with his skirt, and his face suddenly became a lot cleaner.
"Uh-huh, ahhhh!!h
The woman ran out with a red face and tears in her eyes, leaving the owner of the restaurant and the man to look at each other.
"Oops... Worst... I fell asleep again just now. The man yawned and chewed on the rice in his mouth.
"Asleep again?!"
"How is that possible! while eating and chatting!" the passer-by who first noticed the man's strange appearance roared at the man's side.
"And started eating again..."
"Speaking of which, what are you arguing about?" the man turned to look at the crowd, shoving something into his mouth.
"I'm worried about you, bastard!"
"The actor you hired from the store?" the man said to the boss in front of him, bending his thumb, and the boss smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.
In their opinion, this guy's memory is really stuck in the moment before he fell asleep...
"No... It's not like that..."The boss rubbed his hands awkwardly with a smiling face.
"But... It's fine that you're okay, nothing else matters. β
"Ahh
The man squinted, looking like he was just about to answer, when suddenly his face was planted on the plate again...
"Hey!"
"Are you asleep again!!"
At that moment, another man came in the doorway, with cigars strapped all over his body, two in his mouth, and smoke all over his body.
Despite being in a distant country, the man's name is still so loud that civilians are reluctant to make eye contact with him unless it is unexpected.
He is Captain Smoker, unlike other soft-footed shrimp and Captains who take advantage of the position, Smoker is a man who is really on top with his fists, and the ability of the Smoke Fruit makes him almost invincible.
As soon as Smoker entered the restaurant, he glanced at the man in front of the counter unexpectedly, smiled, and beckoned to the boss.
"Boss, serve me a fried rice. β
"Yes, guest, right away!"
The crowd gradually dispersed, and soon, there were only a few people left in the restaurant who were eating sporadically, and the man who had buried his face in the plate finally woke up, and he continued to finish eating, and patted the boss on the stomach with satisfaction.
"Oops~ It's delicious! Sheila, boss~" said as the man pulled out a bounty slip from the package behind him.
"By the way, boss, have you ever seen this person?"
"It's a pirate in a straw hat..."
"You really have the guts to eat in front of a crowd. Before the man could finish speaking, Smoker's voice came from behind him.
"Captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates, Potkas, D Ace!"
Smoker looked at Ace playfully as he ate the meal on his plate.
"White... Whitebeard?!" Before Ace could answer, the owner of the restaurant was the first to be surprised, and he looked at Ace with a surprised face on his face, unable to believe it.
"The Whitebeard Pirates are not... It's not..."
"Is that stupid guy from the Whitebeard Pirates?"
"Speaking of which, I think I've seen the sign on his back..."
The crowd chattered loudly.
"That's the Whitebeard Pirates..."
"But why is he here..."
"Hey, hey!" Smoker slapped the table, and everyone's attention was drawn to him, "What the hell is the reason why the famous pirates are coming to this country?"
"Come and find someone. Ace didn't look back, took another sip of tea, and said lightly.
"Come to my brother. β
Ace turned around, his eyes met the man's eyes, and the cold light in Mu Zhong flashed.
"Monchi D Luffy"
