"Why don't you dodge? Don't you know that if you pushed me away just now, you would die? ”

“... Not? ”

Ace looked at Luffy, who was still dazed, with a dark face, and asked in a deep voice.

"Ahh It seems like I almost died just now, woo woo woo... Whining... Thank you for saving me. ”

“... What are you crying about?! Sick of it! ”

“┭┮﹏┭┮”

"Hey! Why did you run down, didn't you know you were going to die? ”

"But... If you die, we won't be friends. ”

Luffy struggled to resist the desire to cry and choked up to tell the reason.

"It's better not to be friends than to die, right? Anyway, why do you want to be friends with me so much?! ”

"Because..."

"Can't you see how much I hate you?"

"Because... I have nothing else to rely on! No one in the windmill village plays with me, and my grandfather will throw me into the mountains when he comes back! If you don't play with me, I'll be alone!" It's painful to be alone! ”

"You.. What about the rest of the family? ”

"It's only Grandpa."

Kazan looked at the two little dolls, one big and one small, and he understood that Ace's path to brother control was about to begin.

"With me, you won't feel bad, right?"

"Hmm."

"Would you be bothered if I wasn't there?"

"Hmm."

——————

"Roger's child? If there's one like that, it's going to be a problem. ”

"That kind of guy is not allowed to be born, and he is not allowed to live in the world."

"If it really became known that that kind of guy existed, maybe everyone would try their best to kill him."

"Hahahaha!"

——————

Ace squeezed the water pipe in his hand, lowered his head and asked quietly, "Do you want me to live?" ”

"Hmm!"

o(´^｀)o

Luffy nodded vigorously and replied super seriously.

"Really... I hate crybabies like you, though. ”

Ace heard Luffy's answer and turned around, only Kazan, who was not far from Ace's side, could see the uncontrollable snickering joy at the corner of Ace's mouth.

The younger brother has been cultivated.

Kazan nodded, and left the place directly, returning to Caroso to see the unconscious Sabo, poor Sabo still didn't know anything.

"I don't like to cry! I'm strong! ”

"Strong? Big men cry all day long, where is it strong?! ”

"I'm only six years old!! By the time I'm nine years old like you, I'll stop crying and I'll get stronger! ”

"I don't cry when I'm six years old! Idiot! Don't confuse me with you!! ”

...

What is the content behind Cazan walked away, and he couldn't hear it very clearly, so noisy that Kazan almost thought it was Von Cree, Monet, and the three noisy guys by his side.

"That's good."

As a result of the second test, Sabo and Luffy are not suitable to be pirates, especially Sabo, whose compatibility with pirates is simply negative, and Ace is the only one among the three who already has a bit of a pirate shadow on him.

——————

"In the third test, you take off your shoes and stand on top of this big steel plate."

Kazan copied a steel plate large enough to stand on five or six people with one hand, and then raised it with one hand, motioning for the three little ones to go up.

A: "Huh? What's the point? ”

S: "It's not going to be a super dangerous test. ”

L: "Come on, I'm not afraid of anything!" ”

This time, for the next test, Ace Sabo Luffy is no longer worried, after the first two tests, the three little ones are now obviously bolder.

The three of them took off their shoes, and Ace and Sabo threw Luffy together, and then jumped on it with their own strength.

"Hmph... Prepare me. ”

Kazan began to heat the steel plate in his hand, and after a while, the temperature of the steel plate was heated to seventy or eighty degrees, and then it remained still.

L: "Shhh It's so hot, ┭┮_┭┮. ”

A: "Stupid Luffy! It's just this temperature, don't cry! ”

S: "It doesn't look like it's going to rise any longer, but I don't know how long it's going to last." ”

L: "Wow~ah! Why is it shaking? ”

A: "You two stupid people, don't jump around, the board will move." ”

Because the three little ones were bouncing around on the steel plate, which caused the board to shake constantly, they almost lost their balance and fell, so they grabbed their bodies and stood on the steel plate and stopped moving.

But in this case, they have to endure the hot feeling coming from their feet, and their feet have become red.

"Woo... I couldn't help it. ”

Luffy couldn't bear the pain under his feet, and lay directly on the steel plate, so that although the rest of his body would be burned, his feet really couldn't stand it.

After a while, Luffy rolled over and changed his back to get burned, and at the same time, Sabo and Ace couldn't help but want to lift their legs, and the boards shook together.

"How can it be repaired, hand in hand!"

The three of them pulled their hands together, and this was a kind of barely maintaining their balance.

After another two minutes, Sabo and Ace also learned Luffy's method, turning over and rolling on the board from time to time, like barbecue.

Five minutes later.

"Wow!! I can't help it, I'm going down! ”

Luffy was already burned red and was about to jump off the steel plate when he was panting.

"Jump off, you'll fail the third test, little waste."

Kazan's words clearly irritated Ace, who stood up and dragged Luffy directly over him, carrying him on his back while he continued to bear the pain on his feet.

"Ace..."

"Shut up! I don't want to be treated like a waste because of you! ”

"I'll help you."

Sabo also stood up and supported Luffy's body with his hands to help Ace share some of the weight, but then he would have to bear the pain with his feet.

After another two minutes, although the three little ones were opportunistic and changed a few more relaxed positions, their faces still began to turn hideous, and Ace and Sabo even had the illusion that their feet were burned.

They were almost overwhelmed, and in their minds, they had been standing on this steel plate for a long, long time.

The heat continued to scorch their willpower, but the persistence and 'ambition' in their hearts made them not want to admit defeat like this.

Big deal, don't want these feet, don't be afraid of death, what's this...

The consciousness of the three little ones began to blur, and Ace and Sabo were completely relying on instinct to grasp Luffy's body.

A: "Hey... If we pass the test, we will bow down to... Brother. ”

S: "How?" ”

L: "Brother... Junior? ”

A: "I've heard... As long as you drink the wine... We're brothers, and I've got stolen wine. ”

S: "Then I'm not going back... Just stay here... They won't care anyway. ”

L: "Hmm... Become... Brothers. ”
