East Sea, Kingdom of Goa, Kolpo Hills, East Coast.

A teenager wearing a beige shirt on the upper body and black pants on the lower half is looking out at the sea in the distance.

He had short black flowing hair and a few freckles on his cheeks, and he should have been a sunny teenager in his teens, but his dignified face had a calmness that did not belong to this age.

A news bird flew in the sky above the boy's head, and the boy beckoned the news bird to bring a newspaper, and he discharged a coin, and before he could read the information in the newspaper, he heard someone call his name loudly.

"A-S-"

"Luffy!"

Ace turned around and saw a teenager in a dark blue T-shirt and light blue shorts running towards him.

The boy also wore a straw hat with a red ribbon around it, which was Ace's sworn brother, Meng Qi · D. Luffy.

"Ace, what are you looking at?"

Luffy ran to Ace's side, revealing a sunny smile.

As long as he sees Ace, Luffy's mood will improve.

"I haven't seen it yet!"

Ace flicked Luffy's head, and in Luffy's protests, he took the newspaper he had just bought and read it.

"Unbeatable: Edward Newgate "Whitebeard" of the Four Emperors defeats the Four Emperors "Ghost God" Karl to continue the legend of "The Strongest Man in the World"!"

"Glory despite defeat: Pirate Supernova Four Emperors "Ghost God" Carl severely injured the Four Emperors "Whitebeard" Newgate, the whole world was shocked, and the four seas shook!"

"Shake, shake, shake! These reporters know every day that the shock is shocking, shocking, shocking, and terrifying, is there anything new? ”

Although he was complaining about the newspaper's journalists, Ace still read the contents of the newspaper from beginning to end.

"Ace, what does that say?" 13-year-old Luffy poked his little head and squeezed next to Ace, constantly glancing at the news in the newspaper and making an effort.

Rather than those annoying words, Luffy's eyes were quickly drawn to an illustration in a newspaper.

Luffy laughed heartily: "Ace, look, that big man's beard is so funny, it's the same as the crescent moon!" ”

"His name is Edward Newgate "Whitebeard", and he is known as 'the strongest man in the world' and 'the closest man to One Piece'. ”

Ace patiently explained to Luffy.

He knew very well that this pirate, known as "Whitebeard", was the one who had worked with his father, "One Piece" Gor. A pirate of D. Roger's time.

Although Ace was never willing to admit that he was Roger's son, he even followed his mother, Portcas. D. Rujiu's surname, his full name is Portcas. D. Ace.

But he also understands that he has the blood of that bastard man in his body, which is an unchangeable fact that can never be shaken, and there is no way to get rid of it.

That's why Ace is determined to surpass the man named Roger, and only when he reaches a peak that is even farther away than Roger, can he be regarded as finding his true freedom.

Luffy was not shocked and died: "What? You say that Whitebeard is the closest man to me? ”

Ace looked at Luffy coldly, and he didn't react for a while.

What was waiting for him was Luffy's sunny and confident smile: "Because I'm going to be the man of One Piece!" ”

"Nonsense, the man who became the king of the pirates must be me!"

Since Sabo's accidental death, Ace, who was originally impulsive and irritable and liked to bully Luffy, inherited Sabo's character as "Mr. Yes", and began to learn the etiquette of dealing with people from Magino, the barkeeper of Windmill Village, and became a calm and sensible good brother.

But only in the matter of "One Piece", Ace will not back down to Luffy.

But he never thought that after his father, Gore Brown, would be able to do so. D. Roger didn't have the title of "One Piece" before.

The goal he was trying to pursue was his own father he hated the most.

After a brief argument, the two teenagers lay head-to-head on the soft grass.

"Now, Ace, who is the man who shook hands with Whitebeard?"

"His name is Carl, and he's a very powerful pirate, and he's only 25 years old this year, and he's already able to force Whitebeard to this point. In a few years, Whitebeard may have to give up the title of 'the strongest man in the world'.

But a few years later, I will already be at sea, and by that time, the 'strongest man in the world' must be me! ”

"I don't care about the 'strongest man in the world', I just need to be the king of the pirates!"

"Fool!"

Ace was amused by Luffy's words, he lay on the grass, looked at the white clouds in the sky, and said with a smile: "If you don't become the strongest man in the world, how can you become the king of the pirates?" ”

"Oh, then I'm going to be the strongest man in the world!"

After a declaration, Luffy picked up the newspaper that the two of them had left aside, and he wanted to remember the two men he was determined to surpass in the future.

Carl and Whitebeard shake hands and stand in the picture, although Carl is five meters shorter than Whitebeard, and even shaking hands requires raising his arms above his head.

But just a picture, others seem to have felt the unruly temperament of Carl, even in the face of the "strongest man in the world" Whitebeard, although Carl is small, but there is no sense of humility at all.

Carl and Whitebeard are both pirate emperors in the new world, even the "World Economic News Agency" does not have the courage to offend these two, so the photos are naturally professionally processed and taken just right, showing the heroic temperament of the two.

"Hiss hiss hiss ......"

"Luffy, stop making trouble, what are you hissing?"

His stupid brother always likes to do strange things, and Ace is used to it.

But as long as Luffy isn't in danger, he generally doesn't even bother to look at it.

"Hiss-hiss-ahh

Hearing Luffy call out that familiar name, Ace sat up sharply.

His eyes widened and he looked very intimidating.

"Luffy, what are you talking about?"

As the sworn brother of Luffy and Ace, Sabo has an extremely important weight in the hearts of the two.

It's a pity that Sabo was hit by the Draconians many years ago when he visited the Kingdom of Goya and was killed in the sea.

For this, Ace and Luffy suffered for a long time.

Even though Ace has determined to be a gentle and good brother, he definitely can't stand Luffy joking with the dead Sabo.

Ace lifted Luffy up and yelled viciously, "Luffy, if you dare to mention Sabo's name casually again, believe it or not, I'll beat you!" ”

"It's not...... Ace, look ......"

At this time, Luffy was already in tears, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

Looking at Luffy's pitiful appearance, Ace's anger was reduced a lot.

He looked in the direction of Luffy's finger and noticed that in a very small corner behind Carl, there were several passers-by who would hardly go unnoticed.

And one of them was wearing the same style of clothes as Saab, wearing the same hat as Saab, and most importantly, the man was holding a water pipe in his hand!

Although Ace couldn't see the specific appearance of the person clearly because of the angle and the size of the picture, who else could have these characteristics besides their brother Sabo?

"Ace, did you see that? Sabo is still alive, he is not dead! ”

At this time, Luffy had already broken into laughter, and tears mixed with snot hung on Luffy's little face, making him look very funny.

But Ace couldn't laugh at all.

If Sabo isn't dead, then why doesn't he come back to find himself and Luffy?

And how did he get to the most dangerous sea, the "New World" in the second half of the Great Voyage?

Soon, Ace made a decision: "Luffy, I'm going to sea to find Sabo!" ”

"I'm going too!"

"No, you're only 13 years old now, you're just a little ghost, you're too young to go to sea!"

"Aren't you also only 16 years old, not yet an adult? Why can't I go to sea if you can? ”

"Damn......"

Sabo was speechless by the stubborn Luffy, and he was anxious.

I will be 17 years old in more than three months, as long as I wait a little longer, I can go to sea after waiting a little longer!

After gritting his teeth and making up his mind, Ace said to Luffy: "Okay, then we will continue to abide by the agreement we made at the beginning, and we will definitely not go to sea until the day we become adults!" No one is allowed to violate this rule, otherwise I will not recognize him as a brother! ”

"Good!"

The two brothers high-fived and swore an oath, as if they had found a goal in their lives that was more important than becoming One Piece.

……

New World, "All Nations" Totland.

“ACE！”

"Fuji Tiger" smiled and pulled out one of the stacks of playing cards, and Carl, lying on the hospital bed, read out the results on the cards.

Fuji Hu smiled and said: "The old man's luck today is not bad, no, it should be said that our luck is very good, it seems that the plan should have been successfully implemented." ”

"You really believe in fortune-telling?"

Karl used the breathing technique in "Life Return" to adjust the breath in his body while talking to Fujitora.

There are many techniques for life return, the highest level is the control of internal organs and flesh and blood, breathing is only the basic skill in life return, but it is very conducive to restoring one's physical strength.

Playing with a poker that he could only play with a "bet size", Fuji Hu replied: "Good luck, safety first." ”

As early as the days when the news of the duel between Carl and Whitebeard spread around the world, Robin had already investigated that the "Hundred Beasts" pirates were a little ready to move.

"Beast" Kaido, a madman, seems to be stupid and makes trouble everywhere, and often puts himself in it, but in fact, he is the best example of "pretending to be a big success" in the pirate world.

Kaido the Beast only challenges those who have no way to kill him, and he never dares to perform his fallen blow on Mary Joy of the Holy Land.

Because then he might die.

It seems to be brainless, but when Whitebeard and Carl are about to duel, the "Hundred Beasts" pirates are preparing to attack the hometown of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Maybe there is a military advisor in the "Hundred Beasts" Pirates who can convince Kaido, and maybe "Hundred Beasts" Kaido is actually wise and foolish.

But anyway, this guy is actually very shrewd.

And through Tezzolo's intelligence, Karl has learned that the Navy Headquarters has sent two "heavyweight" vice admirals, "Tea Dolphin" Shi Jia Ji and "Peach Rabbit" Gion and several elite Vice Admirals to the New World.

The side that is defeated in the duel is likely to be invited by the Navy to Marinedo for tea.

However, although Carl was defeated this time, his reputation was not ruined by the defeat to Whitebeard, but grew stronger.

After all, youth is Carl's biggest capital.

What the outside world doesn't know is that Carl still has pure gold in his hands.

Now that Carl is 25 years old, he can wear pure gold for a long time except when he needs to recover from an injury.

Although they were seen by Crane and Karp when they broke into the belly of the giant lanternfish, the navy was only suspicious of this, and they were not willing to rush into war with a sea thief when they could not be sure whether Carl had pure gold, not to mention that Carl had now become the Four Emperors.

“ACE！”

"Tea Dolphin" Shi Jiaji snapped his fingers and jumped back from a pirate ship.

Just now they encountered a large pirate group, but none of the other navies made a move, and all the pirates were wiped out by Cha Dolphin alone.

Dressed in an earthy yellow robe and trousers, with sleeves rolled up, a brown top hat on his head, clogs under his feet, a toothpick in his mouth, and his eyes always narrowed into a slit, the tea dolphin dressed like a detective walked to the side of a beautiful navy.

With a warm smile on his face, the tea dolphin offered his kindness to his goddess like an old -diao-silk: "Gion, you see that I am doing a good job, right? ”

The beautiful navy called "Gion" has jet-black hair, a beautiful mole under the corner of her right lip, and he wears a pink tight vest and black ultra-shorts that cover the base of his thighs, revealing his fair and extra-long legs, and a pair of black high heels under his feet.

Gion is the "monster-class" vice admiral "Peach Rabbit" of the Navy Headquarters, but for some reason, on her left thigh and buttocks, there is a scary black spider tattooed on it.

"Not bad."

Peach Rabbit replied with a smile.

The tea dolphin smiled: "Gion ...... Then you marry me! ”

"Don't!"

Peach Rabbit rejected the tea dolphin's proposal without hesitation, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he did not even have a trace of surprise.

Because since they met, the tea dolphin has proposed to Gion dozens of times, although the tea dolphin is optimistic and open-minded, and always looks happy and carefree, but this obviously can't attract the peach rabbit's favor for the tea dolphin.
