Chapter XVIII. The so-called brothers

"Hey, Jace, are you going to just get away like this?!"

Jace, who was standing on the deck blowing the wind, looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw Ace running from the dock with a bottle of wine, and Luffy and Sabo were also following closely behind him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Jace smiled, the expression on his face softened a lot, these three little ghosts, are they here to give themselves, I am very happy to be put in your heart.

He picked up the moon step and headed towards Ace and the others.

"You guy, why don't you say anything and leave." As soon as Jace landed, Ace's dissatisfied voice came.

Jace explained, "Oh, I'm sorry, I was going to talk to you before I left, but you hadn't gotten up yet, so I didn't call you. ”

Sabo raised his leg and kicked Jace's calf in dissatisfaction: "What, I don't feel sincere at all, even if I want to leave, I can't leave quietly." ”

"That's it, Brother Jace, do you know how long we've been preparing for the day we saw you off, how could you want to leave quietly without saying a word."

Jace reluctantly raised his hands in surrender and said, "Okay, I know it's wrong, you can forgive me." ”

Luffy nodded and said, "Well, since you've admitted your mistake, then I'll forgive you." ”

"What about the two of you? Forgive me. Jace folded his hands and smiled at Ace and Sabo.

Ace first snorted incorrectly, and then continued: "Forget it, since Luffy has said so, then I will forgive you." ”

"Both of them have forgiven you, and it's useless if I don't forgive you, so I forgive you too." Saab said.

The four of them looked at each other and laughed, and the laughter was full of joy.

Then Ace didn't know what to think, the smile on his face slowly converged, he glanced at Jace deeply, and pretended to be casual and said: "Yes, Jace, we have known each other for so long, it seems that except for each other's names, we haven't introduced each other in other situations, and now that you are leaving, let's introduce ourselves solemnly." ”

"Okay, who do you start with?" Jace replied noncommittally.

"I, I...."Luffy fought for the first one, "I'm Luffy, my full name is Monchi. D. Luffy, I'm going to be the king of the pirates! ”

"Well, it's my turn." Sabo straightened his collar and said, "My name is Sabo, a native of the Gore Kingdom, and my dream is to become stronger and become a free pirate!" ”

When it was Ace's turn, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Jace, and then pretended to be relaxed: "My full name is Potkass D. Ace, and my dream is to go to sea to prove myself..... Also, I'm One Piece Gore. D. Roger's son! ”

Ace stared at Jace's reaction, because of his identity as the son of One Piece, he was hated and avoided by people since he was a child, and people regarded him as ominous, such unfair treatment made him very sensitive to his own identity, so he actually cared very much about Jace's reaction to him.

I knew that, Jace thought to himself, but he still deliberately looked surprised.

"Oh, Ace, are you actually the son of One Piece? It feels amazing. ”

"What, what, don't you hate me? I'm the son of One Piece! Ace asked incredulously.

Jace frowned, reached out and rubbed Ace's head, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, how can I hate you, but you, why do you feel inferior as the son of One Piece?!" ”

"But everybody's saying that..."

"It's just a bunch of guys who just talk about it, you know? My grandfather's favorite story to tell me when he was a child was when he hunted down One Piece with Lieutenant General Karp, which shows that my grandfather was proud of it, because he once pursued One Piece.

And my boss, a white-haired old smoking gun, who had personally experienced the execution of One Piece Roger when he was a child.

In his words, 'To this day, I still remember when Roger was executed, handcuffed from the street to the execution table in the square, but his steps were like that of a triumphant general, and although he died, his glory as One Piece has survived, and no one has inherited it to this day. ’

So you see, even in the navy against the pirates, there are still people who admire your father, so he must be a great and glorious man, and as his son, you should feel honored for it. ”

I don't know if Jace's persuasion worked, but Ace at least knew that he wouldn't alienate himself because of his identity, and the worried expression on his face finally relaxed.

"Jace, thank you." Ace said softly.

Jace smiled very mildly, and then said, "Then it's my turn to introduce myself, my full name is Philip. Jace, whose hometown is in the West Sea, is now a lieutenant commander in the Navy, and as for my dreams..... Probably to be a partner in justice. ”

"Righteous partners? Is it the Navy? Ace asked with a frown, he, Luffy and Sabo had decided to be pirates in the future, and it would be bad if Jace came to capture them because of the so-called justice!

"Justice is not such a narrow thing, although the navy can indeed represent a part of justice, but it is not necessarily a thing, because there are not only good people in the navy who are dedicated to serving the people and working hard to maintain peace and stability under the rule, but also there are despicable beings who harm innocents and abuse their power for their own selfishness.

The same is true of pirates, who rob homes and houses, kill people and set fires, and there are also hot-blooded adventurers who work hard to pursue their dreams.

Therefore, even if Ace and you go to sea in the future and become pirates, as long as you don't do anything evil, I won't go to your trouble. ”

Jace directly saw through the careful thoughts in his heart, but Ace felt very happy, after all, he didn't want to have any conflict with Jace in the future.

Ace pulled out the cork on the wine bottle, took four plates from Sabo behind him, and filled them with wine one by one.

"Brother Jace, we'll see you off!"

"Okay."

Jace boldly took the glass full of wine and clashed glasses with Luffy and the three of them.

"Brother Jace, drink this wine, and we will be brothers from now on!" Ace drank the wine in his hand.

Luffy and Sabo are also close behind.

Jace looked at the wine in his glass in a daze, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that the other three were all looking at him.

Brothers? Looks like a good one.

"Hehe, declare in advance, I didn't give you any New Year's money during the New Year." Regardless of whether the three imps understood it or not, Jace drank all the wine in one gulp.
