Chapter 42: Ace's Invitation

"Hey, no, I met him in a place like this." Luo, who recognized Ace, immediately became nervous, and said with an ugly face: "Why is this man here, if he is targeted, it will be troublesome." โ€

"The 355 million bounty of 'Fire Fist' Portkas ยท D. Ace! โ€

"Notice me?" Ace saw Luo looking at him, and did not avoid it, but picked up his wine glass and walked towards them generously.

"Little brother of the fur clan, isn't it a good habit to keep staring at others?" Ace came to the Hearts Pirates and said to Bebo, who had noticed him first.

"Right...... I'm sorry! When Bei Bo heard Ace's words, Ma immediately offered three times, including standing upright, bowing, and apologizing.

"Well, for the sake of your sincerity, I'll forgive you." Ace laughed.

"Hey! ~" Ace's attitude made Bei Bo stunned, and he always felt that something was wrong, but he still said politely: "Thank you." โ€

"Bebo!" Luo stood up, dragged Bei Bo behind him, looked at Ace with a wary expression, and said, "I didn't expect to see a man like you in such a place, the famous Fire Fist Ace, can you tell me your purpose?" โ€

In Luo's opinion, a man of Ace's level should stay in the New World, and there must be some purpose for suddenly appearing in 'Paradise', and for Luo, Ace suddenly appeared in front of him, and the worst case scenario is that the other party is coming to trouble him.

"I'm already that famous?" Ace glanced at Luo's hand holding the knife, smiled, and said, "Don't be nervous, I just happened to pass by here." โ€

"I haven't been active at sea for a year, can you please tell me if there is anything big going on on the sea this year." Ace sat across from Luo and asked him.

Luo looked at Ace, was silent for a while, and after finding that Ace really didn't look like he was here to make trouble, he also relaxed, sat down and said: "A lot of things have indeed happened this year, but these things are not worth mentioning in front of the thing you did a year ago." โ€

"You beat the Draco in the Chambord Islands, almost killed him, and then retreated from the presence of the 'General' Pheasant, and you did this thing that has been circulating at sea for a whole year."

"After this incident, everyone at sea was paying attention to your news at that time, looking forward to your next move, but I didn't expect you to disappear after this incident, and disappeared for a whole year." Luo looked at Ace and asked with a serious face.

"I retreated from the pheasant? Did it turn out like this? Ace picked up the glass, took a sip of wine, then smiled, and said, "Speaking of which, I didn't retreat from the pheasant at that time, and I lost very badly." โ€

"It is precisely because of this that I realized how big the gap is between myself and the top combat power 'generals' on the sea, and then I found a place to cultivate for a whole year to improve my strength, and now I have just finished my cultivation." Ace said.

Ace guessed that the world government should not want a legendary figure like Reilly, who had been reclusive, to return to the eyes of the world again, so he deliberately hid Reilly's figure when reporting the Chambord Islands incident, so the reported news would become that he retreated from the front of the general.

"I see." Luo nodded, agreeing with Ace's statement, and then asked, "Even if this is the case, a man like you, back on the sea again, the stage should be in the new world, why does it appear in such a place?" โ€

"I said, my appearance here was just an accident, but ......" Ace looked at Luo, with a sincere smile on his face, and directly invited him, saying: "I can meet you just after a year at sea, which shows that we have a lot of fate between us, how about it, do you want to join my pirate group and become my partner, Trafalgar Luo!" โ€

"Poof! ~" Luo, who was drinking, heard Ace's invitation, and was surprised to squirt out a sip of wine, and said, "Open ...... What are you kidding, how can I be your subordinate! โ€

Ace wiped the wine and saliva on his face, and said with an unchanged smile: "It's not a subordinate, it's a partner, a partner who chases dreams together." โ€

"Even if you say that, I won't agree." Luo looked at Ace and said seriously: "I have my own ambitions and goals that must be achieved. โ€

Ace looked at him and said with the same seriousness: "There is no conflict between your ambition and becoming my partner, as for your purpose, I know it." โ€

"Don Quixote Doflamingo, your aim is to take off his head." Ace looked at Luo and smiled, "I'm right. โ€

"Why do you know?" Luo looked at Ace in surprise and asked with a surprised expression.

"If you have paid attention to my information, you should know that my burnt fruit was stolen from the Don Quixote family, so the relationship between me and Doflamingo is destined to be hostile, in this case, it makes sense for me to investigate Doflamingo's information, right?"

"When I was investigating Doflamingo, I found a lot of interesting things, including information about you, that you betrayed the Don Kidkde family to avenge Corazon, am I right?"

"When I return to the sea this time, the first thing I will do is to clean up Doflamingo's forces, that is to say, we will have the same purpose, and you should know that if you only rely on your own ability, it is impossible to fight Doflamingo, and the Don Quixote family's power will be only visible to you, and it will be difficult for you to move an inch after entering the new world."

"So, join me, Law." Ace looked at Luo and sent out another invitation, saying, "Join my pirate group, I'll help you clean up Doflamingo, and then we'll cross the sea together, chasing our ambitions." โ€

"......" Luo looked at Ace and didn't speak, but he was already very moved by Ace's proposal in his heart, but his dignity made him unable to be resigned, but his determination to avenge Corazon made him constantly waver, so he hesitated.

Seeing the tangled expression on Luo's face, Ace knew that nine times out of ten he was tempted by his proposal, so he decided to add another fire.

"By the way, when I was investigating Doflamingo, I accidentally found out his identity." Ace stood up, approached Luo, and whispered in his ear, "You may not know that the real identity of that guy is actually a Celestial Dragon, right?" โ€
