I remember the story of a man who was blindfolded and locked in a room, and the murderer swiped his hand lightly with a blade, then said that his wrist was cut and placed a dripping bag beside him, and then the murderer left. Although the man's wrists were not cut, the man died in the end, and this is the power of fear.

Nick knew the horror of this force and knew he might not be able to hold on. So he shoehorned this humiliation into his mind and transformed it into a steady stream of will for revenge to support his spirit. From time to time, there was the sound of people passing by and the sound of people cursing.

These voices came from the more than a hundred ordinary crew members of the Hard Pirates, who whined and wandered around the swampy island. Nick's sudden disappearance made Stark feel ashamed, he had so many people, but he couldn't leave a not strong opponent, he could simply drive people crazy.

Stark's order was: "Dig three feet into the ground and dig that kid out." But what the pirates down there really did was to shiver, complain, look around, and then run back quickly to report that they had not been found, and then Stark, who was angry, ordered to look for it again, so the pirates went out to complain again in the cold sea breeze.

This vicious cycle lasted until two or three o'clock in the morning, and this was the time when people were most likely to get tired, and Stark had to put his frozen men back to sleep on the ship. And he and his cadres continued to search on the island.

The highest cadre of the Hard Pirates, the Night Hunter, is the best at finding people, but he can't find Nick hiding in the sand pit, so the search has to be abandoned.

Just over a minute after Stark and the cadres returned to the ship, Nick rolled over and stood up from the bunker. He didn't know that the search was over, and he couldn't stand up. The high tide flooded the bunker, it was too cold to lie inside, and the wound could become infected.

Trembling, Nick bowed and walked towards the Pink Pirates' pirate ship. Although walking has little to do with the muscles of his upper body, his shoulders and waist still hurt a lot, and before he got to the pirate ship, Nick was sweating profusely.

This sweat is a cold sweat, his body has always been cold, if he can't warm up quickly, even if he survives, he may have to leave bad things as a souvenir.

Finally getting to the side of the pirate ship, Nick regretted that it had taken too much physical strength to lie in the sand pit and fight against fear, and it was difficult for him to even get on the ship now.

After resting in place for more than ten minutes, Nick suddenly jumped and landed on the deck of the pirate ship. The thud should have been noticeable in the stillness of the night, but the sound of the rising tide drowned it out.

After resting for more than ten minutes, Nick struggled to his feet and staggered to the cabin to find an emergency boat. I have to say that the Hard Pirates are very ruthless, and they have chopped all the emergency boats to pieces.

After searching around the pirate ship, Nick found that the Hard Pirates had left him nothing to eat, leaving only a few empty barrels lying on the ground. Nick laughed, pirates are pirates, and most of the things they have seized have to be handed over once. If the pirates had brought the barrels back instead of drinking them here, Nick wouldn't have anything to do.

Picking an emergency boat to paddle, Nick thrust an intact barrel into the sea, jumped into it, and slowly paddled towards the little light in the distance.

The tide rises when you succeed, and the tide rises when you lose! The huge thrust of the tide quickly exhausted Nick's last bit of strength, and Nick buried his head in the bucket and gasped, it couldn't poke its head out, and the sea breeze was blowing stronger and stronger, and it would easily take the last heat away from him.

After resting for more than ten minutes, Nick was ready to continue rowing, but fortunately, the sea breeze actually changed direction and was pushing him in the direction of the offshore, Nick breathed a sigh of relief, threw the pulp away, closed the lid of the bucket, and then relied on luck.

Nick falls asleep before he knows it, and he has a long dream. First of all, he dreamed that he had fallen into a hole in the ice, shivering with cold, his teeth trembling as if they were going to bite each other in the next moment, and just as he was about to freeze into ice, he seemed to have come to the surface of the sun.

Countless violent heat poured into his body, and even the cold that had penetrated into his bones disappeared under this pure heat, and then this heat suddenly became soft, as if he had burrowed into someone else's warm bed.

When Nick woke up, he found that he was indeed in someone else's bed, and it was really warm.

Nick rubbed his eyes to make sure he was right. Beside him was a hat with a distinctive orange wide-brimmed jungle hat with a string of red rosaries tied around it, and two circular decorations on the front of the hat, one smiling and the other weeping.

Although Nick doesn't know much about the plot of One Piece, he also knows the owner of this hat - Fire Fist Ace.

"Oh, you're awake. I just picked a few coconuts and came back, so I'll knock one for you first. ”

Looking for the sound, Nick saw a shirtless young man, this man was not tall or strong, but the muscles on his body were well-proportioned, looking at the lines, he knew that the explosiveness was definitely very strong, he had slightly longer black hair, and there were a few hemp beans on his face, but this did not affect the heroic spirit that emanated from his body. At this moment, he had a smile on his face and looked like a big brother next door.

Noting the tattooed ace on his right arm, Nick can naturally know that this is Fire Fist Ace himself, a super sea thief with a bounty of 500 million Bailey.

"Hey, call you, the coconut is peeled, see your lips are so dry, drink it quickly." Ace smiled and handed Nick a chopped coconut.

"Thank you." Nick took the coconut with his uninjured right hand and gulped it down. It was so refreshing, Nick had just finished drinking the coconut water when Ace handed over a roasted golden sea fish.

Eat without saying a word. The main reason is that Nick doesn't have time to talk at all, Ace eats too fast, there are obviously more than ten grilled fish, and Nick, who is extremely hungry, just finished eating the grilled fish handed over by Ace, but finds that Ace has already eaten six or seven.

Nick quickly snatched two back and swallowed wildly.

In a moment, all the things Ace brought back were eaten, and Nick patted his stomach with satisfaction, and was about to thank Ace, but found that Ace had fallen asleep. Yes, asleep.

Luffy's family, it seems, is not serious.

After being warm, Nick originally planned to sleep, but found that his body was particularly painful, and when he lifted his clothes, he saw that the wound on his waist had turned a miserable white, and the red liquid that was lighter than blood continued to flow out of the wound, and it was painful to move his heart.

The left shoulder was even more severe, and the wound turned black......

After spending more than an hour in pain, Ace woke up.

"Thank you, Ace!"

"Oh, did we know each other before? Forgive me for not having a good memory and didn't recognize you. Ace was surprised.

"A bounty of 500 million, the captain of the second team of the New World Whitebeard Pirates, Fire Fist - Portcas. D. Ace. How could I not know it. Nick gritted his teeth.

Ace said: "Oh, you actually know Daddy, you are a pirate? ”

Nick smiled bitterly: "I'm Lieutenant Captain Nick of the Navy Headquarters." ”

"Oh, Navy, you're not going to want to arrest me, are you?" Ace Road.

"No, as I understand it, you have not harmed civilians. What's more, I can't beat you......"
