Chapter Eighty-Seven: Half of You
At the beginning, the people who watched the excitement were just looking at the strangeness, but when they looked at it, they realized that something was wrong.
Hey!? The one running at the front seems to be the people of the Spade Pirates, why does the thing their captain is holding in his hand look a little like a devil fruit!?
Ace knows such a thing as a Devil Fruit, because his younger brother Luffy is a Devil Fruit ability, but because Ace didn't see it with his own eyes when Luffy ate the Devil Fruit, he actually didn't know what the Devil Fruit looked like, so he not only took the fruit he picked up in his hand as a "strange" after-dinner fruit, but also pinched it in his hand and ran away on the street.
Bibiko Island is one of the seven starting islands of the Great Voyage, and it is also a city of food, so the people gathered here are all pirates from the four seas.
When it was discovered that what Ace was holding in his hand was something that was suspected to be a devil fruit, a dark tide suddenly surged among the lively group of pirates.
All of a sudden, the pirates who were watching the excitement suddenly understood what was going on with the group of pirates chasing after them: they probably also thought that Ace was holding a Devil Fruit, so they participated in the chase, right?
It's no wonder that the pirates misunderstood, how did they know that in fact, the people of the Pico Pirates are the sufferers......
Devil Fruits! It's something that can instantly gain superhuman strength after eating, even if you don't eat it, take it and sell it, and the money you get in exchange is enough for you to have food and clothing for several lifetimes!
Wealth is moving, and some of the pirates who saw the way out of the door quietly began to move, and they discussed with their own people for a while, and they didn't even care about eating things or drinking, and they began to move secretly.
Soon, several more waves joined the chase for the Spade Pirates.
The group of cooks who were chasing in the middle quickly noticed that something was wrong, quickly stopped, flashed to the side, and then watched a large number of pirates take their place and chase forward, which made the cooks dumbfounded and didn't know what was going on.
Everyone understands that it may not be as simple as eating a bully meal right now......
The cooks didn't dare to join in, so the chasing crowd all turned into pirates, not only were there people chasing behind, but some smart ones had already taken a shortcut to the front of the Spade Pirates, trying to intercept the Spade Pirates from the front.
The members of the Spade Pirates who ran with Ace ran and looked back, but their eyes almost popped out in fright!
The cooks who were chasing after them disappeared at some point, and in their place were hundreds of pirates with red eyes!
"Captain Ace, what kind of character did you just bump into!?" The members of the Spade Pirates are indescribably sad and indignant.
But I didn't know that Pixar was the most depressed person at this time, they chased and chased, and suddenly found that there were a lot of pirates who didn't know each other, and they were all chasing Ace and others in front of them together.
Pixar gritted his teeth, and he couldn't care so much, he didn't want to cause too much commotion, he just wanted to quietly catch up with Ace and get the Devil Fruit back, but now that the matter has been exposed, he can't care about the impact, and directly launched his Devil Fruit ability, transformed into a half-beast form, and the sharp stinging needles all over his body directly launched towards Ace and the others in front.
There were a few whoosh sounds, and although the needle didn't hit, it grazed Ace's scalp.
Ace also noticed that something was wrong, so he stopped and was attacked, which meant that he was going to fight, and in this case, Ace would not back down.
Turning around, he found that a large number of pirates were chasing after him.
At the same time, there were also many pirates in the direction they were running and going, and Eston knew that he was surrounded.
When other people encounter this situation, they are probably scared and tremble, but Ace didn't, he felt excited, although he didn't understand what these pirates surrounded him for, but when it came to fighting, Ace was not afraid of anyone.
The members of the Spade Pirates, who had never seen such a formation, gathered around Ace, trembling and holding their weapons, looking at the smiling pirates who slowly surrounded them.
For their captain, they have been together for a long time, they have not known each other well, as long as it is a battle, he will not back down, as soon as they see Ace's clenched fists, they know that this fight is necessary.
What to do? There are too many people on the other side, how can you fight like this?
Just as they were thinking like this, they suddenly saw Ace look in one direction of the street and be stunned, and then a smile appeared on his face.
"Aha!!" Ace suddenly cheered and rushed towards a gap in the side of the street that was not yet surrounded.
The members of the Spade Pirates were stunned for a moment, thinking that Captain Ace had finally figured it out, and wanted to run away when he saw that he couldn't beat him, so he hurriedly followed, but unexpectedly, Ace ran to the side of the street, suddenly stopped, and slapped the other party's shoulder at a person in front of him with his back to him, and shouted happily: "Ian!?" ”
The members of the Spades Pirates are about to cry, Ace Boss! So you didn't want to escape!?
Surrounded by so many people, are you still in the mood to find acquaintances!? Even if that person is your friend, is it really appropriate for you to involve people like this?
Ian also had a headache at this time, he had gone out alone after eating with Bill and wanted to go shopping, but he suddenly heard a commotion, and then saw Ace, the stupid guy, running from the other side of the street, chasing a large group of people behind him.
Due to the preconceived concept, Ian had already decided that the overlord meal maniac who appeared on Bibi Ko Island was Ace, so when he saw Ace being chased by a group of people, his first reaction was:! How many overlord meals have you eaten? Hunted down by so many people!?
So, Ian subconsciously turned his back and said silently: "You can't see me, you can't see me!" ”
He doesn't want to be recognized by Ace and then treated as an accomplice of the overlord's meal!
However, who would have thought that Ace was so coincidental that he stopped on this street, and was still in the crowd, and saw Ian at a glance?
After being recognized by Ace running over and patting him on the shoulder, Ian was also helpless, this is a proper rhythm of making friends by mistake! You eat overlord meal and are being chased, and you still want to involve me?
But Ace smiled happily and said, "I thought it wasn't you when I saw it just now!" Speaking of which, how did you change your knife? If it weren't for the hat you were wearing, I wouldn't have recognized you! ”
it! It's because of the bear's ear hat again! Ian couldn't complain anymore.
It's no wonder that Ace can recognize himself in the crowd at a glance, making Ian can't hide if he wants to.
"Forget it, let's talk about it, how much!" Ian sighed and said, "I'll help you pay for the meal, can you let me go?" ”
"What are you talking about?" Ace laughed and said, "These people don't look like they're here to ask for money!" ”
"Huh?" Ian then looked up and looked again.
At this time, the crowd was so frightened that they had fled from the streets, leaving only Ian and Ace, as well as the five or six members of the Spade Pirates.
Because those menacing pirates have already surrounded here, the local residents have already vacated the venue in order not to be affected.
"What's going on?" Ian looked at the two hundred pirates who surrounded him, and asked Ace suspiciously, "Did you provoke them?" ”
"I don't know what's going on!" Ace shrugged and said, "It's just that they look like they want to fight me!" ”
Pixar walked over with his men in the crowd, and when he saw that Ace was still standing, he suddenly became angry and shouted, "Boy, hand over what you have in your hand!" ”
He didn't dare to call out the name of the Devil Fruit directly, for fear of attracting the covetousness of other unwitting pirates, and there were enough competitors at the moment.
However, the other pirates were not vegetarians, and after seeing the fruit in Ace's hand up close, the greed in their eyes became more and more obvious, and they all shouted, "No, give us what you have in your hand!" ”
The pirates were noisy, but Ace was a little embarrassed.
"They're chasing me, just for this?" Ace held up the fruit in his hand in confusion.
When he lifted the Devil Fruit, Ian naturally saw it, and his eyes widened all of a sudden!
Isn't this a Devil Fruit!? And...... And it's still a burning fruit!?
If it was replaced by other devil fruits, Ian might not recognize them, but the appearance of the burning fruit was exactly the same as what he had seen in the comics! So much so that Ian recognized it at a glance.
Ace's burnt fruit, it turned out that he got it here!?
Ian looked at the burnt fruit in Ace's hand in a daze, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Ace also noticed Ian's expression, tilted his head and thought for a long time, and suddenly grabbed the burnt fruit in his hand with both hands and broke it vigorously.
"You, what are you going to do?" Ian asked him stunned.
"Half of you!" Ace didn't raise his head and said: "So many people want it, this fruit must be delicious!" We're friends, and we're going to share half of you...... Strange, why can't you break it? ”
Ace was desperately trying to break the Devil Fruit in half, but he didn't know how much impact his words had caused Ian......
