Chapter 53: Burning Fruit and Ace
The old man looked at Locke who rushed over, and he didn't talk nonsense, he just disappeared in place, reappeared, and had already hit Locke's back.
Then there was no superfluous movement, just holding the cigarette stick and knocking it down on Locke's head.
"Bang!" The old man's cigarette stick hit Locke directly on the back of the head, and the shield that Locke released at the beginning was completely useless.
"Ahh Locke, who was beaten, screamed, and was directly beaten to the ground, and then a big bag appeared on the back of his head.
In fact, Locke had already discovered the old man just now, but because the old man's speed was too fast, he was beaten directly before he could react.
"Looks like you're not!" I didn't look at Locke lying on the ground, the old man took two puffs of cigarette and said helplessly.
"Big brother! What's wrong with you. Anne, who was originally competing with Ace in a dream, heard Locke's screams, hurriedly came out of the dream, and then came to Locke's side and asked with concern.
Locke didn't suffer much damage from the old man's attack, but I don't know why, it was a strange pain, it was so painful that it hurt to the bone marrow, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't stand up for a while.
However, after Anne came over, the pain slowly passed, and Locke slowly stood up and waved his hand at Anne, indicating that he was fine.
"What's fine! You see it's all swollen. Carmen looked at the back of Locke's swollen head and said distressedly, rubbing Locke as she spoke.
"Don't rub it! Hurt! Locke said as he rubbed his head with a handful of piggy hands.
"What then?" Carmen heard Locke say it hurt and immediately became nervous.
"It's okay, I can do it myself." As he spoke, Locke conjured up an ice pack in his hand, and then placed the ice pack on his head to facilitate the swelling.
"Senior, I admit that I am not your opponent, you say the second thing!" Locke said to the old man again.
"This is the second, old man, except for the strong man, I only have to eat, as long as you can make a dish that satisfies me, then it's easy to say anything." After the old man spat out a smoke ring, he told the rest of the conditions.
"It's simple, I have the world's No. 1 chef on my ship! Carmen, this daunting task is up to you. Locke said as he regained his confidence.
"Little puppet, what was the thing in the dream just now, how did you eat a full stomach?" At this time, because there was no Anne to maintain the dream, Ace also woke up, and then quickly rushed to Anne and asked.
"I said, call me Annie." Anne stressed to Ace again.
"Okay little puppet, okay little puppet."
"Ah~" Anne was about to be broken by Ace, and she was about to go crazy, but fortunately, at this time, Locke stopped her.
"Okay Annie, the name is just a code name, he can call it whatever he wants."
"But......" Anne was about to say something, but Locke smiled as if she were about to shake his head, and placed her on his shoulder.
"Alright! For the sake of the big brother's face, I'll let you go this time! Hum! Anne snorted coldly and turned her head away, not wanting to see Ace.
But Ace didn't want to give up like this, and continued to ask: "Little puppet, you haven't told me why you ate those things to fill your stomach." ”
"What's that? Tell me about it! Maybe I know, maybe I can't. Seeing Anne's disgust for Ace, Locke could only speak up.
"It's nothing, just now, she made a lot of monsters, I roasted them all and ate them, but why don't you have a full stomach!" Ace told him about the problem he had just encountered.
"All I can say is that you were just dreaming! Of course, what you eat in your dreams won't fill your stomach! Locke glanced at Anne on his shoulder, then turned back to Ace and explained.
"Hah! Ha! Ha! It turned out to be a dream, no wonder there are so many monsters, and they can't eat enough to eat. Ace finally figured out why and laughed happily.
"By the way, who are you?" Ace only remembered at this time that the person in front of him had never seen him before.
"I'm Locke, nice to meet you." Locke said as he held out his hand to Ace.
"I'm Ace, and I'm glad to know you." Ace reached out and shook Locke's hand.
In fact, Locke had already recognized Ace when he first came here, but he didn't say it.
At this time, Locke also knew why, he met the burning fruit on this island, and it turned out that Ace obtained the fruit ability on this island.
Belch! Where's my burnt fruit? Wasn't it still here?
Thinking of burning the fruit, Locke remembered that when he fought with the old man just now, he obviously put the fruit aside, but why was it missing at this time.
"What are you looking for?" Ace looked at the Locke he had just met in front of him, and after shaking hands with himself, he began to look around here, and he knew what he was looking for.
"It's nothing, it's just a Devil Fruit, I remember I just put it here!" Locke said as he searched.
"Devil fruits? What does it look like, tell me and I'll help you find it. Ace took something out of somewhere, and said as he ate it.
"It's red, and there's a lot of ...... on it" At this time, Locke raised his head and was about to describe to Ace what the fruit looked like, but before he could finish speaking, he found that Ace had just eaten the devil fruit he had brought out.
"Phew! What a thing! It's so unpalatable. By the way, you just said that there are a lot of them on it? Ace ate the Devil Fruit and took a sip in disgust, and then found that Locke had not finished speaking, so he looked straight at himself and asked curiously.
Locke did not speak, but pointed to love as the fruit of the hand.
"That's what you say! This one I just picked up next to me, it looks delicious, I didn't expect it to be so unpalatable. Ace said as he took another bite.
"It's unpalatable, and you still eat it." Locke said speechlessly.
"No way! I'm hungry! Ace said as he ate.
After taking two bites, Ace finally reacted: "Wouldn't this be the Devil Fruit you just mentioned!" ”
"Gwoe~ I don't want to eat this thing, gag~ I'm going to be the king of the pirates in the future! Vomit~" Seeing that Locke nodded, Ace directly began to clasp his throat, wanting to spit out what he had just eaten.
"It's useless! Devil Fruits only need to take one bite to gain powers, and it's useless for you to do this now. Locke said with a sigh.
It seems that this devil fruit is destined to belong to Ace, even if he got it first, he didn't think about it and was eaten by Ace.
"Ahh It's on fire! It's on fire! I saw that Ace, who was still holding his throat, suddenly had sparks on his body, which startled Ace.
