Chapter 43: Out to Sea

Luffy walked slowly back home from the coast, and as soon as he arrived near the Dan House, he saw everyone gathered at the door.

"What did you say!"

Ace, who had just returned from the mountains, had his eyes blazing, his hands clenched into fists, and roared angrily at the short thief Dogura, who had also just returned, intending to make him retract what he had just said.

The surrounding Dadan and the other bandits also looked at Dogula in disbelief.

Dogura bowed his head in agony, and did not speak.

"Bastard! You're lying! How could Saab die! Ace saw that Dogura was silent and even more irritable, he couldn't believe it, and he couldn't believe it, so he could only angrily punch Dogura who was "talking nonsense".

"Smack..."

"Ace, calm down." Luffy grabbed Ace's fist, "Sabo was indeed hit by a cannonball. ”

Ace sees Luffy stopping his fist.

His eyes slowly became full of tears, and he muttered sadly and aggrievedly: "How... How... Possible!

Luffy! This is not true! It's a dream, isn't it...?"

Ace grabbed Luffy's shoulders and shook them vigorously, his eyes already red from crying.

"That's not true, is it? This is not true! Luffy! ”

"Calm down! Listen to me! Luffy was so uncomfortable by Ace that he had to shake off Ace's hand with a hard slam and continued, "Sabo was indeed hit by a cannonball, but he didn't die. ”

Hearing this, Ace finally stopped moving, shed tears, his eyes were glazed, and slowly returned to calm.

Seeing that Ace had finally calmed down, Luffy said to him, and at the same time to the Dadan family: "Sabo was not directly hit by a cannonball, he is still alive..."

"Really...... Is... Great..."

Ace lowered his head and slowly knelt on the ground.

"Ace, I have something to tell you." Ace finally calmed down, and Luffy continued.

"I'm going to be away for a while, it's not going to help me anymore, and in order to get stronger, I've decided to go to sea in a few days."

Ace continued to keep his head down and didn't speak, but his heart was already restless.

'Why! Why am I so weak! Why! ...’

He didn't know why, he didn't have the strength to make people identify with him, he didn't have the strength to prevent Sabo from being taken away, and when he heard that Sabo was dead, he didn't even know what to do, he could only be angry with his own people.

Luffy saw Ace's loneliness and confusion, squatted down, patted Ace's shoulder and said seriously: "Ace, we are still young, and we don't have enough power to change the world, I have my chance, you also have your opportunity, it's just that the time hasn't come yet."

Saab is not dead, but he will not be back anytime soon, and this is also his chance.

I'll be away for a long time, but I'll definitely be back for your departure ceremony.

Don't feel bad about it.

If you don't know what to do, constantly surpassing yourself is the best thing to do.

When the three of us brothers made a name for themselves in this sea, it was also the day when we met again. ”

............

Night.

Today, Dadan unexpectedly made a lot of delicious food and took out the wine that had been treasured for a long time.

It was Saab's farewell party, even though Saab was not present.

Everyone present sincerely wished him a better future.

The next day, Ace left again without a word.

Luffy also entrusts Zoro to the Dardans and tells Darden that if Zoro wakes up early, let him wait for him here.

After that, Luffy went to Windmill Town to say goodbye to the village chief Magino and the others one by one.

This time, he really had to stay outside for a long time.

............

A few days later, a bandit hurriedly ran back and said to Luffy, "Luffy, accurate news, the inspection team will leave tomorrow morning." ”

Luffy's eyes flashed with silver, and he said lightly, "Tomorrow, I know." ”

After taking a few larger clothes, Luffy left Dadan's house without saying goodbye.

Came to the port, took advantage of the night, with his petite body to avoid the patrolling soldiers, and secretly boarded the giant ship of the Draconian.

I quickly found a warehouse and hid it.

The next day dawned.

The port of the Kingdom of Goya was lively again, and the song and dance troupe, musical instrument team, and honor guard moved one after another, eager to see off the world nobles in the small port.

The nobles of the Goya Kingdom also gathered around, just to see the Venerable Celestial Dragon Master for one more second.

Fireworks burst into the sky, and rose petals fluttered from the sky, and it was very lively for a while.

St. Germak boarded the giant ship without even looking further at the king who was cautiously behind, took a few newly captured slaves, and prepared to return to the Holy Land of Mary Joa.

As the ship gradually sailed away from the Goa Kingdom, Luffy kept hiding, not showing any movement.

Until one day.

Conversations could be heard outside the warehouse.

"Finally out of the windless zone."

"yes. In the past few days, Lord Jermak has been fishing with slaves every day in order to see the large sea kings, as if all the slaves have died. ”

"Not only that, there were no slaves yesterday, and the adults threw Tony into the sea, and they have to continue playing."

"Fortunately, we have passed the windless zone, otherwise we may be the next to die.

But he's too unlucky, hahahaha..."

"He deserves it, the female slave that the adults didn't want last time, originally said that everyone would play together, but he just played to death......"

The voices of the two changed from near to far, and finally disappeared.

'Have you already passed the windless zone?' Luffy's mind, which had been hidden for a long time, became active.

There are only two options for entering the Great Voyage from all over the world.

One is an ordinary ship, if you want to enter the great route from the four seas, you must pass through the passage between the red earth, but the uncertainty of the passage is too great, if it is not for super high navigation technology and a certain amount of luck, it is difficult to enter the great route.

The other is the great shipping route controlled by the world government and the windless zone between the four seas.

However, there are many giant sea kings hidden in the windless zone, which can be said to be a deadly threat to passing ships

But the government has special means, and they cover the bottom of the ship with a large number of sea building stones.

The Hailou Stone is a special stone, its properties are the same as the sea, that is, it can make the Devil Fruit ability of the touch lose its power, and it can also simulate the breath of the sea, so that the sea kings cannot notice the abnormality.

Therefore, both the warships of the Navy and the passage ships of the World Government can use this method to freely enter and exit the Great Route.

"It's time to get moving." Luffy smiled excitedly.

............

Sailing at sea was boring, and Germake St. was in his bedroom, tired of fishing, and now he was agonizing about what to do next.

The strongest black-clothed bodyguard was dutifully guarding the door of the Draconian's room.

Suddenly, his nose moved, and his face changed dramatically in an instant.

Hurriedly walked out of the exclusive cabin of the Celestial Dragon Adult.

"Ahh As soon as they opened, they saw a man in black clutching his throat and unwillingly falling in front of him.

Class A, blood and dead bodies all over the ground.

The cabin of the Tenryu Lady is made of special materials, which can completely isolate the sound of the outside world.

If it weren't for the fact that the smell of blood was so strong that it drifted into the cabin through the cracks, he wouldn't have noticed the changes outside.

"Huh? Found out so soon?" Luffy said happily.

And no wonder he's happy.

After Luffy came out of the warehouse, he first sneaked into the sailor's bedroom, so that all the ship crew who were resting on shift could not wake up in their sleep.

Then began to massacre the sober staff.

It soon caught the attention of the man in black.

However, the man in black who arrived was not Luffy's opponent at all.

There are only a few strong people, and they are also easily killed by Luffy in the method of exchanging injuries for injuries.

After almost killing the full boat, Luffy's level that had not been moving for a long time was finally raised.

After adding the free attribute points to the strength, he finally heard the words he had been waiting for.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for meeting the requirements for the main strength and strength attributes, and awakening the armed color domineering. 】

[Armed Color Domineering]: Consumes a small amount of physical strength, gathers one's own blood and qi to form a black substance on the surface of the body or weapon, so that attacks gain a bonus of strength/2, and defense gains a bonus of physical strength/2.

After turning on the armed color, Luffy is even more handy at slaughtering.

I wanted to leave the strongest at the end, but I didn't expect him to come out on his own at this time.

The black-clad bodyguard looked at Luffy nervously, and he had a bad premonition.

"Who are you? Don't you know it's a ship of the Draconians?" The man in black said.

"Oh... You don't need to know! Luffy didn't gossip, and directly smashed the man in black with his fist covered in armament.

"Bang!"

The sound of metal clashing sounded.

The man in black also responded to Luffy with an armed color.

"Bang! Boom! Boom! ...”

The two exchanged hundreds of punches in an instant.

Finally, take a step back at the same time.

The giant ship had been shattered in the aftermath of the battle between the two.

Under the moonlight, the waves swelled, crashed against the great ship, and faded away in gray.

Luffy looked at the person opposite with some surprise, he had killed so many people in black, and he thought that there was no strong man on this ship.

"Looks like it's going to be a tough battle."

Luffy had just awakened the armed color, and he didn't think that the person opposite who also awakened the armed color would have less combat experience than him.

However, through the fist fight just now, it can be seen that the attack on the other side is not much higher than him.

With a flash of thought, Luffy directly attacked again, this time directly at the head of the man in black.

The man in black crossed his arms and took two steps back, blocking Luffy's attack.

Luffy was stuck in the air.

The man in black seized the opportunity, instantly raised his knee, and slammed it into Luffy's stomach.

Luffy's health dropped by more than a thousand points.

Luffy ignored the pain, hugged the thigh of the man in black, and landed on the ground without being kicked out.

Looking up at the eyes of the man in black, his eyes changed instantly, and the overlord color was domineering at the man in black, attacking with all his might.

Suddenly, the world seemed to be quiet, and the man in black paused and lost consciousness for a short time.

Luffy punched directly, but he didn't jump, and hit the man in black directly in the.

The man in black, who had just regained consciousness, fainted again from pain.

Luffy never relented, and took advantage of the fact that the man in black couldn't resist, and unceremoniously delivered a fatal blow aimed at the throat of the man in black.

"Click!"

The man in black flew upside down and smashed into the hull of the ship.

"Ba... Overlord... Color..."Spat out the last few words, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and died.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a Draco slave, rewarding 10,500 experience and 8,000 gold. 】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for having reached full XP and starting to level up. 】

【Ding! Congratulations on the host upgrade, currently level 22. 】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for meeting the requirements for his main strength and agility attributes, and awakening to see and hear the domineering. 】

[Seeing and Hearing Domineering]: Strongly feel the power of the surrounding breath, and can sense enemies outside of sight or further predict the opponent's movements. Perception range is 10 meters in radius, and the perception strength increases with the increase of agility attributes.

"Hahahaha..."

Under the waning moon, Luffy stood on Class A and laughed loudly.

"Why aren't there any?! Come on, get me something to eat! Jermak Saint said as he stepped out of the cabin.

............

A few days later, a newspaper from Newsbird shocked the world.

[The world nobleman Jermak Saint was attacked and killed by unknown pirates. 】
