Hearing the hearty laughter of the golden lion from afar, Ace couldn't help but have a trace of doubt, although Citch is usually very aggressive, and sometimes he will suddenly take off the line, but it is rare to be able to sit in the lobby and laugh like this.

Isn't there any guest?

Ace thought of this, and then shook his head and vetoed his idea, not to mention that the golden lion has been obscure over the years, and the base has been shifted around, let's just say that who can make the golden lion laugh like this, except for Whitebeard, who else?

Whitebeard?

Shouldn't this guy stay in the New World? How did you come here?

More and more questions filled Ace's head, looking at the expressionless Al on the side, well, for this Sanwu Zhengtai, whoever comes is the same, besides, does he know Whitebeard?

"Forget it, whether he's whitebeard or not, you'll find out when you go in."

When Ace walked into the lobby, the first thing that caught his eye was the golden lion Siqi sitting above, and the golden lion also saw Ace, nodded to him, and motioned to sit down.

Ace sat down silently, and then looked at the golden lion, "Whitebeard, I really want to know what kind of man he is." "There is no doubt that Ace admires Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man in the world since One Piece Gore D. Roger.

This man who rules forty-three pirate ships and has sixteen team captains, what does the world say about Whitebeard? There is such a children's song on the great voyage, "The pirate Whitebeard is more terrible than a ghost".

At the same time, he is also a great father, treating his crew as if he were his own son, and all those who love him call Whitebeard a "daddy", this septuagenarian who thinks about his crew all the time, and deserves to be the pioneer of the new era.

What is Ace's deepest impression of Whitebeard? It was not his majestic posture of smashing the air with one punch to cause the sea to tremble, nor was it the heroic dry cloud that he left alone at the last moment of his life to create a new era for his "children".

Ace's most profound understanding of Whitebeard is in his memoirs, where Whitebeard says, "I have a family ,—— secret treasure that I have wanted to get since I was a child." ”

To be honest, if it weren't for his identity, Ace would really want to go to Whitebeard's Pirates, not because of anything else, just because Whitebeard is the same kind of person as him, and he is a person who values his family more than anything else. Although Karp regarded Ace as his own, Karp still backed down before the righteousness, and he remained neutral.

It's not because Karp is cowardly, it's because his conscience is constantly tormenting him. Family on one side and responsibility on the other, the two are intertwined in the octogenarian, as Karp said, "Pirates are unforgivable, but if it's family, it's a different story."

In his previous life, Ace cried every time he saw this, maybe this is what the pirates brought to people. It is because of the contradiction that it is true.

······

With a thousand thoughts, Ace looked at Whitebeard's location.

"Huh?"

Eston was stunned, what kind of whitebeard is this, this is clearly ······

"Crocodile."

The big man sitting on the chair opposite the golden lion, dressed in fur, with a golden hook in his left hand exuding a cold aura, with the face of a dead man with a cigar in his mouth, almost with a plaque on his neck that reads "I'm a bad guy".

Shah Crockdahl, the future king of the Seven Martial Seas, but it may not be long before the Navy Headquarters will come into contact with him.

"Hey." Ace turned his head to look at the golden lion who was still smiling earlier, "Uncle, you just called me here to see this guy?" ”

It's not happy, Ace is very unhappy, who knows that the idol is coming, and happily goes to greet it, but now the person is just a trick, and that kind of situation will make people crazy.

Although Crockdahl is one of the Seven Martial Seas in the future, he is no longer enough for the current Ace, as long as Ace makes up his mind, he can kill the crocodile in a few moves. You know, crocodiles can't be domineering at all, and their physical skills are still a mess, although those who can be invited to become the Seven Martial Seas will not be general.

The golden lion covered his head with his hands, looking pained, "How many times have I said it, you should call me Teacher Xiqi, or Master Xiqi, don't call me 'uncle' or 'uncle'." ”

"Well, don't mind that kind of thing." With a wave of his hand, Ace, who knew the character of the golden lion, ignored the old man.

"Don't mind, this is the most basic courtesy!"

"Less, I don't know your personality yet?"

"What's wrong with the old man's personality, don't talk nonsense about you little kid."

"Old man, it's you who is."

······

Looking at the golden lion and Ace who were making a mess in front of him, a drop of sweat flowed from Krokdahl's head, "Is there any mistake, don't ignore me." However, he did not dare to say such things, at least, in front of the golden lion.

"Hehehe..." Ace, awakened by a burst of warbler-like laughter, paused and looked at where his master was.

The tall figure is highlighted by a tight-fitting denim suit, the healthy wheat-colored skin shows a trace of charm from the depths of the soul, and the charming face and moving voice all show the identity of the visitor.

"Nicole Robin."

As if feeling Ace's burning gaze, a trace of anger flashed in Nicole Robin's eyes, but her long years of spy life had already allowed her to practice a disguise, and then she hid the unhappiness and saluted Ace elegantly, "It seems that this gentleman knows the next, Mr. Portcas D. Ace who has a reward of 80 million Bailey." ”

The crocodile on the side was also surprised, Nicole Robin's identity is rarely known, and she usually follows her as her own shadow, 11sunday.

"How does the person in front of you know?" Crockdahl pondered the possibilities, but couldn't find the slightest clue. On the other hand, listening to Robin say that this person is Portcas D. Ace, who hindered his plan some time ago, then...

"Alex's two siblings are here, too!" A gleam flashed in the crocodile's eyes, but unfortunately, the golden lion on the opposite side had already caught his small movements.

"Hey..." Crockdahl was about to speak, but was abruptly interrupted by Ace.

"I said, crocodile, how did you mess in?"
