CHAPTER XXII
"Ace, what's wrong?" Grace whispered to the side, who was exercising.
"I don't know." Glancing worriedly at his own captain, he was also full of doubts, and then glanced at his cousin expectantly.
Feeling the worry of her companion, Yuna sighed softly, and Yuna walked towards Ace, who was throwing a fist at a large tree. Since I came back from Siqi just now, I've been like this, what happened?
"Ace..." Yuna called tentatively, "Are you alright?" โ
How can it be so good! Ace, who had just received a stomach of anger from the golden lion, couldn't bear it anymore, so he swung his fist at the big tree in the forest to vent the depression in his heart.
Although this is the case, Ace has no intention of confessing to them. Isn't it good for one person to bear this kind of thing?
"Yuna..." Ace said softly.
"Huh?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm just in a bad mood." After speaking, he showed a "confident" smile to Yuna, "Don't worry, I'm just that the gap between me and the golden lion is still very big, and it will be a long time before the day of rescuing the floating village." โ
"Really..." Yuna saw Ace's forced smile, and she probably had a certain idea in her heart, "It's okay, we have always believed in Ace's, you will definitely be able to defeat him, dignified." โ
The smile of a beautiful woman is really the best medicine to heal wounds! Especially for some.
As soon as Ace saw Yuna's smiling face, he immediately felt blessed with a blessed aura. "In that case, I'm going to practice in the forest, and I'll leave dinner to you!" After speaking, Ace took an arrow step and ran straight towards the forest in the distance.
"Huh." Looking at Ace in the distance, Yuna chuckled a few times, and then put her eyes behind a big tree, "Since you're worried about him, why don't you say it, don't you think he really can't show you, right?" โ
"Cut... Who worries about him anymore! It's just, it's just that I'm worried about you, afraid that you'll be attacked by wild beasts nearby. Bonnie looked impatient as she peeked out from behind the tree, but no matter how much she disguised it, she couldn't hide her concern.
Yuna looked at her good sister angrily and funny, and the reason for being attacked by the beast was also prevaricated, with the existence of daftgreen, the beast didn't dare to approach at all.
"You, you have the same temper as Ace, you are so stubborn."
"Who... Who's like him, don't talk nonsense! Bonnie, who had been caught with a sore foot, screamed. Then, there is the frolic between the two.
After a while, "Eh, Yuna, what did you say happened to Ace?" Although he said that he was unforgiving, Bonnie had been secretly observing Ace, and everyone was deeply worried about Ace's abnormal phenomenon today.
"Mr. Ace, he's fallen out with Lord Sage."
Just as the two of them were thinking hard, a childish voice came. Yuna and Bonnie turned around, and when they broke out in a cold sweat, they didn't know when, a little boy of eleven or twelve years old was standing behind them.
"You... You're the one..." Bonnie pointed at the visitor and shouted loudly.
"Al." The little boy pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "You can call me that." โ
Yuna looked at the little boy with an age-appropriate mature aura, and a trace of doubt flashed through her mind, "That, little brother Al." โ
"I said, call me Al." There was a bit of dissatisfaction in his eyes, and Al's tone became extremely unkind, "Don't call me little brother. โ
"What, it's obviously a little ghost." Bonnie looked at the old-fashioned little boy with an unhappy expression.
"Do you want to be poisoned?" As he uttered horrific words, Al had a dangerous look in his eyes, but even so, his expression remained calm, as if he had just said something that said, "It's a good day."
"Wh... What the? Bonnie and Yuna felt the sudden oppression on Al's body, and their hearts palpitated. Bonnie asked herself that she was also a good hand among pirates, but now she had a fear in front of a little ghost, which she couldn't believe.
"This little ghost, how can he have such a strong murderous aura?"
"I'm really sorry, because of Ace's incident, Bonnie's temper is not very good, I apologize to you." Although Yuna felt the powerful murderous aura of the other party, she did not feel the killing intent in it, and immediately apologized to Aldao.
"Hmph." With a cold snort, Al retracted his momentum and turned back into the beautiful little Shota who looked harmless to humans and animals. But after what happened just now, the two will never treat him as a vulnerable person who is not a threat again.
"You just said that Ace and the Golden Lion had a falling out? What's going on? To avoid the unhappiness of the situation, Yuna asked about what Al had just said about Ace.
Immediately afterward, Al told Bonnie's Yuna everything that had happened in the lobby, and a look of horror flashed on their beautiful faces.
"Damn, is the golden lion crazy? You want to gather pirates from all over the world to attack the Navy Headquarters? Bonnie roared angrily, and although Yuna was not as excited as Bonnie, her heart was still uneasy at the moment.
"That's right, Lord Siqi is such a person, so don't get your hopes up and get out of this island." Al said lightly.
"What did you say? Do you want us to watch everyone in the floating village continue to be oppressed by the golden lion? Bonnie was furious and grabbed Al's clothes, "Don't you have a little conscience?" Just doing this, the accomplice of the Golden Lion? โ
"Hmph." Throwing Bonnie's hand, Al sneered, "What kind of conscience, accomplice, can a stupid act like yours save the people in the village?" โ
"Damn, you little ghost..."
"Whatever you say, anyway, the lives of the people here have nothing to do with me." The cold tone that remained unchanged made the two people in front of them feel angry.
Yuna looked directly at Al for a while, "Say what you mean, since you've told us so many things, you can't have no intentions." โ
Al stared at the two of them, "That's right, I'm here today to make a deal with you. โ
"Deal?"
"Mr. Ace does have the ability to compete with Lord Sage, but not now."
"Ace?" The two were puzzled for a while, what did he have to say?
"The content of our deal is that I will create conditions for you to get out of here, like a ship or something, and you only need to ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
"Wh... What the? As if hearing something unbelievable, Bonnie and Yuna's faces changed, "You, is what you said true or false?" โ
"It's none of your business, just do it." I don't know if it's an illusion, Al's expression actually flashed a trace of pain, "I have my reasons, it won't hurt you anyway, how, do you want to do it?" โ
After thinking about it for a long time, Yuna finally didn't agree, "I'm sorry, we have to discuss it with Ace before we can decide." โ
"Whatever you want, you only have one chance." At this point, Al seemed to sense that the time was running out and began to walk towards the palace.
"That's right." Al suddenly turned his head, "Lord Siqi, he's very interested in your abilities. With that, he ignored the shocked Bonnie and Yuna and left alone.
