Ace's eyes widened and he looked at Luffy who looked down and snickered incredulously.

"Too... It's too strong—" Sabo said as he took a step back.

After all, they are young and have not yet seen the real powerhouse.

Luffy's power is enough to run rampant in the Goya Kingdom.

In other words, Luffy now has the 'power to destroy the country'.

"How? Awesome, right?" Luffy suddenly smirked triumphantly, and his uninhibited momentum just now was almost like two people.

"Calendar... Awesome..."Ace never thought that Luffy, who also lived in Dadan's house and was three years younger than himself, would have such a strong strength.

"So, let's make friends!" Luffy once again stretched out his little hand of friendship and smiled like a spring breeze.

"For... Why... What is your purpose in doing this?"

Ace is now not worried that Luffy is coveting their treasure.

Because Luffy is so powerful, there is no reason to do it at all, or rather, being strong is his reason.

But he still didn't understand why Luffy would want to be friends with them.

"The purpose? What purpose does this entail...

You and I are both grandpa's grandsons, we are brothers, isn't it normal for us to have a better relationship?" Luffy said in a very normal tone.

However, it was this ordinary explanation that touched Ace.

The word brother deeply touched Ace's closed heart.

Growing up, he grew up listening to other people's curses, and for the first time realized that he still had a family.

"You... Do you wish I was alive?" Ace muttered.

"Of course!" Luffy replied without hesitation.

Ace shook his head and said a little lowly: "No... You don't understand..."

"I know, grandpa told me!" Luffy's tone this time brought a hint of playfulness.

"What?!" Ace looked at Luffy in shock, "You know, then why are you still ......"

Luffy said with a little melancholy, "What does it matter!

Aren't you still Karp's grandson? Or my brother?"

"You ......" Ace choked up a little and couldn't speak.

Sabo on the side was confused, looking at Luffy Ace asking and answering, not understanding what they were talking about at all.

"What are you talking about? Ace, what's wrong with you?" Sabo asked, curious and concerned.

"Ace, you don't need to care what some people think.

You can't get everyone's approval, you just need to know that there are people in the world who need you.

I need you, Sabo needs you, Grandpa Karp also needs you, although the Dadan family talks coldly every day, they really treat you as family. ”

Luffy inexplicably uttered a heartfelt sentence.

Ace slowly wept at Luffy's words, and finally became silent.

Sabo didn't know why Ace was crying, but he knew exactly what he was going to do at this time.

stepped forward, put his arms around Ace's neck, and said with a smile: "Yes, Ace, I need you." ”

Ace didn't know what was wrong with him, but his tears, like a small waterfall, splashed down his face, and he couldn't control it at all.

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

Night.

The dark sky was full of stars, and the sky was full of stars, like pearls scattered on a jasper plate.

"What's going on?

Ace!! Luffy!!

Who is this kid? Why is there another imp!! ”

In Dadan's house, Dadan yelled angrily, his eyes widening at Ace and Luffy.

Sabo didn't care about it, stepped forward and slapped Dadan's palm together, making a sense of shaking hands.

"Hey! You're Dadan.

Hello, my name is Saab. ”

Dadan frowned, looked at the smiling Sabo with a troubled face, the cigarette in his mouth was floating with a faint smoke, and said to Sabo unceremoniously: "I heard that you are not a fuel-efficient lamp either!" ”

"Really...... I've also heard that Dardan is an old woman! ”

"Damn imps!" Dadan's forehead was bruised.

In this way, Saab successfully moved into Dadan's house.

After dinner.

Ace, who was about to rest, pointed to Zoro in the corner of the wall with a confused expression and said, "This...... Who is he?"

"Ahh Leave him alone, he's my partner.

Now to cultivate, you need to sleep for ten years. ”

"Forehead ......"

A cold sweat ran down Ace and Sabo's foreheads.

Looking at Luffy, who was already lying down, the two of them thought to themselves at the same time: "It's strange enough that Luffy is so powerful, and now his subordinates are even stranger."

Could it be that being different from ordinary people is a shortcut to becoming stronger?"

Thinking of this, Ace and Sabo glanced at each other tacitly, and nodded at each other inexplicably.

The next day.

Ace and Sabo had just woken up.

Although this was the first time Sabo had stayed at Dadan's house, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and naturally got up with Ace to get ready for dinner.

As soon as they walked to the hall, the two of them heard a rough voice say, "Luffy, I brought the wine you wanted, what are you going to do?"

A tall bandit stood in the doorway with a large jar of wine and shouted.

At this time, the thief's heart was full of helplessness, thinking of what he was doing now, either watching the child or washing clothes, cooking and cleaning the child.

Now these kids want to drink, and they have to run to the town to buy them back, and they are really living less and less like bandits.

"It's coming, it's coming. Thank you, uncle. Luffy, who ran over when he heard the sound, took the jar of wine from the thief's arms.

The bandit hurriedly replied: "No thanks! You're welcome! ”

He really didn't dare to say anything to Luffy, thinking of the prey that Luffy brought back every day, it was a little bigger than Ace's prey.

Looking down at Luffy, who was holding the wine jar to find Ace and Sabo, the bandit said in his heart, "What a bunch of terrible little monsters!" ”

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

In the deep valley of the Corpo Mountains.

Luffy placed the wine and three wine glasses on a stone jar.

"Luffy, what did you tell us to do here?"

Ace and Sabo looked at Luffy in bewilderment.

As soon as the two of them got up, they hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and they were called here by Luffy.

"Ace, Sabo, you both want to be pirates, right?" Luffy asked.

"Of course!"

"Then do you want to come to my pirates, I want to be the strongest man in the world!"

"Of course not!" The two replied in unison again.

"Of course it's better to walk on your own, Luffy, sooner or later one day I will surpass you!" Ace's eyes were bright, and his eyes were full of hope.

"That's right, Luffy.

I'm going to lead my group of pirates to see the vast world, and then write a book about everything I've seen! Sabo also said with his hands clenched into fists.

When it comes to dreams, all three of them are full of ambition.

'You have to walk the road yourself, right... Then I won't interfere with you! Luffy thought to himself.

Go to the stone altar, open the wine, and fill three glasses.

"In that case! Looks like the three of us are going to go to sea separately! Luffy raised a wine glass and said, "You know what? After this cup of righteous wine, we are brothers! ”

"Brother?!" Ace and Sabo were stunned for a moment, and then they both smiled.

Walk up and pick up a wine glass each.

Luffy continued, "Maybe when we became pirates, we weren't partners in the same boat, but the three of us were [brothers]!" ”

"No matter where or what, this relationship will never be severed......" Ace said after Luffy's words.

Saab also stretched out his glass and said, "Then from today on, we are brothers!" ”

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"
