The first half of the Great Voyage, a small town. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The scorching sun scorched the earth, and the temperature of the whole town was extremely hot.

There are hardly any pedestrians on the streets of the town, apparently because the weather is so hot, everyone is hiding in their homes to cool off.

One of the streets, there is only one person.

It was a young man, with short black hair that was slightly messy, wearing an orange cowboy hat with a small badge with two expressions of "smile" and "sadness" on the brim, a skull pendant tied under the hat rope, freckles on his face and cheeks, a red bead necklace around his neck, a bulging upper body muscle, a letter tattoo on his left arm, the most conspicuous was the pirate tattoo on his back, which was the pirate logo of the Whitebeard Pirates, a dagger pinned to the cowboy belt around his waist, and a pair of black five-point pants on his lower body. A pair of brown cowboy boots.

This young man like a wild cowboy is Potkas D. Ace, nicknamed 'Fire Fist', the natural ability of 'Burning Fruits', the grandson of Monchi D. Karp, the sworn brother of Monchi D. Luffy, and the current captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates.

He also has a lesser-known identity, and is said to be the son of the former One Piece King Gore D. Roger.

Before Roger's public execution, Esto was paid to Karp. In order to prevent the World Government from discovering that Ace is the son of One Piece Roger, Ace's mother, Potkass D. Rujiu, used various methods to greatly delay Ace's birth date. Desperate to protect his son, Ace stayed in his mother's womb for twenty months. Lu Jiu died of exhaustion after giving birth to Ace.

For a variety of reasons, Ace hated the One Piece father who he had never even met, so he changed his surname to his mother's surname, Portcas.

"Strange! Why can't anyone see it? ”

Ace walked alone in the middle of the street, talking to himself while trying to find a few passers-by to ask about something.

Since Marshall D. Titch, a member of the former Whitebeard Pirates' Fourth Team, killed his captain Thatch for the sake of the Dark Fruit, committed the great crime of pirates, killed his companions, and escaped from the Whitebeard Pirates.

Hearing the news, Ace immediately asks Whitebeard for his life, saying that he wants to find Marshall D. Titch and avenge his friend and companion, the dead captain of the Fourth Team, Thatch.

Since then, Ace has been searching the world for Marshall D. Titch, also known as Blackbeard.

The scorching sun on the horizon was like a fire, and there was not a trace of wind in the streets, and it was as hot as a steamer.

Ordinary people stay in the hot sun for a while, not to mention the hot sweat, but also sweat profusely, but Ace turned around in the hot sun for a while, but there was no trace of sweat on his face.

The reason for this is naturally because he is a person with the ability to 'burn fruits', and his physique is fire, and this temperature is nothing to him.

"Why is there still no one!"

Ace wanted to ask if he had seen Blackbeard, but he walked for a long time and didn't see a single figure.

"Huh?"

Ace was thinking about what to do next when he suddenly found a restaurant.

He stopped and looked up at the restaurant's plaque.

"There it is!"

Ace looked at the restaurant with bright eyes, there must be someone in the restaurant, not to mention that after he came to the town, in order to find Blackbeard as soon as possible, he didn't even have time to eat lunch, and he was already hungry.

"Now you're full!"

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Ace's mouth, and he immediately took a big stride and walked towards the restaurant.

Jingle bells!

Ace reached out and pushed open the wooden door of the dining room, and the wind chimes hanging on the door made a series of crisp sounds.

Just as Ace walked into the restaurant, the figure was about to disappear behind the door.

Outside the door of the restaurant, which was a step away from Ace, a tall figure suddenly appeared.

Bang!

As soon as the figure appeared, the wooden door of the restaurant was closed.

It all happened very quickly, in a matter of seconds.

Ace, who walked into the restaurant, didn't notice the person who suddenly appeared behind him.

The person in front of the restaurant showed his true face, it turned out to be a young man, his handsome cheeks were as plain as water, and he also had black hair, but it was waist-length hair, wearing a black shirt on the upper body, a pair of white trousers on the lower body, a pair of black leather shoes, and a golden coat on his shoulders.

A black cat with a pitch-black body squatted on the young man's shoulder, with a pair of large green eyes with a humane contemplative look.

The black cat glanced at the door of the restaurant, then withdrew its gaze and continued to think.

Although the young man looks at the same age as Ace, the temperament of the two is completely different.

If Ace is like a straightforward and bold sunny cowboy, this man is like an elusive time traveler.

This elusive time traveler is naturally Madara.

"What a coincidence!"

Spotted eyes penetrate the wooden doors of the restaurant and take in the entire restaurant.

"Where is the capable one in there?"

Cat Xiaoxian asked casually, still thinking about what kind of ability Madara said would be related to eating the Devil Fruit.

"Hmm!"

Madara nodded, reaching out and pushing open the wooden door of the dining room.

Jingle bells!

The wind chimes on the door rang again, and Madara walked into the restaurant and walked straight towards the southeast corner.

Although the small restaurant is not big, it has a lot of people.

There were basically no empty tables left, and the guests at each table ordered cold drinks.

Obviously, these guests come here to drink some cold drinks to relieve the heat, and it doesn't matter if they eat or not.

The appearance of Madara has attracted the attention of many people.

From time to time, everyone frequently looked back at the golden coat on his body.

Ace was sitting at a table near the southeast corner, describing Blackbeard's appearance to the waiter in front of him, and gesturing with his hand from time to time to make it more vivid.

As Ace's description became more and more detailed, the waiter began to shake his head incessantly, he had not seen the person the other party was talking about.

"Are you sure you haven't seen this guy?"

Ace was slightly disappointed when he saw that the waiter had never seen Blackbeard, and couldn't help but ask again.

"Nope!"

The waiter said no, looking at Madara passing by, his eyes attracted by the gold coat on Madara's body.

"That's it!"

Ace frowned slightly, not paying attention to Madara passing by the table in front of him.

"Sir, if you have nothing else to do, I'll go entertain the other guests!"

The waiter looked at Ace, who was sitting on the chair in contemplation, and his tone was a little impatient.

If it weren't for the fact that this guest ordered a lot of dishes as soon as he entered the door just now, he would have already left, how could he have time to chat with him here.
