Chapter 16: Fire Fist (Three Changes)
The sun gradually moved westward, the shadow shifted eastward, and two hours passed, Ace maintained a posture and sat motionless in front of the Seahorse Shipyard, sitting longer and longer, and more and more people gathered in front of the door to watch the excitement, and there was gradually a little noisy sound at the door.
The young man who had been questioned by Ryan and them before opened a crack slightly, and saw that Ace, who had been driven out by Master Ravel before, was sitting motionless in front of the door of the shipyard and did not leave, the young man closed the door gently, found Lovell, and said: "One of the three people who came just now is sitting at the door, as if he has been sitting there since you kicked him out." ”
Ralph looked up slightly and said, "If he wants to sit, let him sit and see how long he can sit." ”
....... After another hour, the young man opened the iron door of the shipyard again, Ace still maintained his previous posture, against the hot sun, without drinking a sip of water, and even the crowd watching the excitement gradually dispersed, still sitting there motionless like a sculpture.
The young man couldn't bear to go to Master Ralph again, and said, "That man is still sitting there, for the sake of his sincerity, please at least go and see him again." ”
"Do you remember how your parents died? I won't make a ship for pirates anymore! Lovell sat on the bench and took a puff of his cigarette and said uncompromisingly.
In fact, the reason is not only that, the Age of Exploration was opened by Roger, but the pirates already existed before the Age of Discovery, he and Gro once formed a pirate group, they once dreamed of going to sea, wandering on the sea, going all the way, going through hardships, losing their partners who came together on the way, and they also fell into a dark injury, and now their knees will ache faintly every rainy day.
But these are not the reasons for their regrets, what really makes him regret is that when they came back from the sea with their exhausted bodies in tow, their former home was in ruins, and their beloved family had long since become the ghosts of the underground, but they did not even see each other for the last time, and later they searched many places to learn that their hometown had been attacked by pirates.
The peaceful village burned to the ground overnight, if ...... If they had been there, maybe nothing would have happened, but there are no ifs in the world, so we can't let misfortune happen to the next generation.
"But they're not like the pirates before them." The young man tried to defend Ace.
"You know, old man, I don't know? So I haven't informed the Navy until now, but pirates are pirates, and I won't make ships for them. Raffle pressed out the cigarette butt on the ground, and a trace of white smoke came out, still uncompromising.
Since Gro was able to write letters for them, Raffle was convinced that the three young men would not be bad people, but what did Groh write? "For the sake of old friends, please help them with their dreams." , doesn't he know what happened to them back then?!!! So even if Ace and them were pirates, they wouldn't be the kind of pirates who did evil, and he wouldn't make boats for them, he was using his hands to push young people into the fire pit!! Gro is just old and confused!!
The reason why the Great Voyage is called the graveyard of pirates is that it was piled up with the lives of countless pirates, those five words are five words soaked in the blood of pirates, the sea will not distinguish between good and bad you, if you can't conquer it, it will only be destroyed, let three seventeen or eighteen-year-old young people go to die, he can't do it! No matter who intercedes and how much money is given, he will not do this ship!
The cruelty of the Age of Discovery, they have not yet appreciated, it is the paradise of the strong, the battlefield of the villain, and the ...... of the weak Hell!!!
Forced by the majesty of Lovell's years, the young man lowered his head and pursed his lips, not daring to beg him to build a boat for Ace and them, so he walked outside the door and said to Ace: "Let's go, it's useless, Teacher Ravel won't build a boat for you." ”
Ace raised his head, looked at the young man with a resolute look in his eyes, and said to him, "Please at least let me see Master Raffle again." ”
The young man with the head of the board looked at Ace and hesitated, but nodded, and after a while, Lovell, who didn't give Ace a good face at all, walked out and said, "Say, what do you want to tell me?" ”
"Boom!" Ace came up and slammed his head on the bluestone slab on the ground, and pleaded with great sincerity: "Please give us another chance!" His fault, he resisted, even if he was asked to kowtow to plead, he would not hesitate.
A hint of emotion flashed in Lovell's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it, and said in an extremely cold tone: "Get out, pirates are not a child's game, and the sea is not a place for you to play at home." ”
Although Ace is occasionally reckless, compared to Luffy, his IQ is normally online, and he heard a hint of a turnaround from Raffle's words, if he understands correctly, he can completely convince Raffl! He stood up excitedly and said, "You mean we're not ....... enough"
"Raffl, when will the latest warship I asked you to make be ready? There is still half a month, and if you don't hand over the warship, you will have to serve the Navy for the rest of your life. A navy wearing a cloak embroidered with "justice" and two walnut balls in his left hand stepped on his military boots and walked over step by step, with a hint of a cat and mouse smile on the corner of his mouth, interrupting Ace's words.
He was followed by two neatly arranged groups of sailors, following with their heads bowed.
The young man behind Raffle said inwardly: "The time you gave is simply not enough!" And last time, I clearly said that I would build you twelve big ships for free! But was silently pressed back by Lovell.
The admiral smiled when he heard this, and said: "I'm very fair, I gave you a month of relaxation, of course, the price will be greater, hahahaha." ”
"This kid is confused for a while, please don't worry about him like him, the warship has been built as much as it can," said Raffer. “
"It seems that you still can't hand it over, why don't I give you another half a month? I'm very kind, hehehe. Colonel Ironknuckle said with a hypocritical smile.
He walked and walked, and when he saw Ace standing in front of him, Ace, who was just blocking his way, did not avoid it, and his two bean-sized eyes glanced at him with contempt, kicked over, and said, "Where did the little ghost come from, won't you know how to make way for the navy?" ”
Ace also kicked Colonel Ironknuckle's foot hard, kicking him to the ground, Colonel Ironfinger glared angrily and shouted, "You dare to resist the navy?!!! ”
Ace raised his cowboy hat with his hand, looked at the roaring Colonel Ironknuckle, and said with a smile, "I'm a pirate." ”
Suddenly, the sinister smile on the Colonel's face became even stronger, and he said, "Okay, it turned out to be a pirate, and Colonel Ben executed you here." ”
"Finger gun!"
Colonel Ironknuckle stood up with the idea of regaining face in front of the soldiers, a faint black luster appeared on his fingers, looked at Ace cruelly, and poked him in the forehead, Ravel didn't expect Ace to be so unscrupulous, his face changed greatly, and while stretching out his hand to save Ace, he exclaimed: "Don't !! ”
But how can Ravel shout faster than the speed of a finger gun, and how much more will the colonel stop if he says no? What kind of joke, an old man who still has the value of exploitation, and dares to ask him?!
However, Colonel Ironknuckle's fingertips did not feel like they had poked the real thing, and he looked down to see that his finger gun had been pinched by the young man with his fingers, how could this be possible! It must have been that he hadn't used his strength yet, and the tips of his left fingers were also attached to a faint layer of black, crushing the iron ball in his hand, and shouting again: "Finger ....."
"Fire Fist!"
A burning fist hit the colonel in the stomach one step at the other, and the orange-red fist of fire hit him and sent him flying more than ten meters away, the navy uniform on his stomach was burned through a hole, and there was an extra layer of scorched marks on his skin.
Colonel Ironknuckle struggled to get up from the ground, pointed at Ace and said angrily, "Shoot this pirate for me!! ”
The sailors who followed Colonel Ironknuckle had already raised their guns when he was beaten, although Colonel Ironknuckle's actions made them feel ashamed of the navy, but it was a capital crime for pirates to attack the navy!
Now when they heard the colonel's command, they were about to pull the trigger immediately, and a white figure suddenly appeared on the side of the navy, "Shave! When Ryan told Ace and Rando about this technique, Rando learned to shave before Ryan.
I saw that Landuo's feet were wrapped in golden electricity, and with a flash of golden light, he kicked down three in the navy, but now it was too late, and someone had already pulled the trigger, and one by one lead bullets flew out of the muzzle and hit Ace's body, but only sparks were splashed.
The sailors looked horrified and shot and retreated, shouting, "Monster! It's a monster! ”
And the knowledgeable Colonel Ironfinger also blocked his face with his backhand, looking at Ace, who was surrounded by flames on his body, as if he was surrounded by flames like an emperor in the fire, and shouted in horror: "Natural ability!" How can there be a natural ability in the East China Sea?!!! ”
"Pirate Master spare your life! Let me go, I will never report to my superiors, spare my life! Spare your life! Colonel Ironknuckle begged for mercy with a sad face, completely missing his initial majesty, and more ugly than the cadres and leaders of the Fanged Pirates.
However, without him noticing, a thin white thread floated through Colonel Ironknuckle's neck, a round head rolled down, and the last image he saw before his death was a headless corpse, and his mind lingered, "Why do you look so much like me?" ”
"A navy moth is more disgusting than a pirate, and I don't like overnight enemies." Ryan canceled the line and walked slowly out of the alley next to him.
And Ace was looking at Landuo and Ace blankly, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
