A gloomy alley, where few people come, has been quiet, and now words have broken the peace of the place, and it has become lively.

"It's all said that I'm stronger than Ace now."

Luffy yelled at Usopp unconvinced.

"Where did you get your confidence, Ace is the big man of the Whitebeard Pirates, a member of the legendary Pirates, and we are just little pirates who have just embarked on a great voyage.

In other words, if we join the Whitebeard Pirates, wouldn't it be a step to the sky, and we will also become pirates? ”

Usopp laughed, as if he had suddenly realized something.

"What do you say? I don't want to join someone else's pirate group, I'm the captain, I'm very strong. ”

Luffy raised his arm to show off his muscles, he was unhappy with Usopp's behavior.

"What the hell are you strengthening, or are you as stupid as ever."

Ace suddenly appeared on the roof, looking condescendingly at the group in the alley, Smoker couldn't stop him at all, and after easily getting rid of Smoker, he immediately chased after him.

A smile appeared on his face when he saw his energetic brother.

"Yo, Ace, it's been a long time, hehehe."

Luffy looked up and saw a familiar figure, and his heart swelled with joy.

"It's been a long time, and you've grown a lot."

There was a hint of tenderness in Ace's eyes.

He held down his hat and jumped off the roof, landing in the middle of Luffy's group.

"Oh, hello, my name is Ace, I'm Luffy's brother, please advise.

My brother has caused you trouble, he has always been a fool, please don't care, it must be very tiring to take care of him, you have worked hard. ”

Ace said sincerely.

"That's nice, brother or something."

"I thought that Luffy was such a willful person, and his brother would be a more self-righteous guy, but I didn't expect it to be such a humble and polite guy."

"The sea is amazing."

"Why is there such a big gap between my brother and my younger brother, are Luffy and Ace really brothers?"

Everyone complained in unison, they had a deep grudge against Luffy, who was nervous and liked to cause trouble, and anyone who was snatched food from the plate and was injured by Luffy's pit would not be happy.

At the moment, he suffered a strong impact of reality, and he couldn't help but complain, and even wanted to swap Ace and Luffy.

"Hey, I said, wait."

Weiwei was a little worried that Ace would be angry because of this, how could anyone say bad things about her brother in front of her brother, she was a little embarrassed and wanted to stop them.

"Ahaha, ahaha, Ace, these are my companions, Sanji the Cook, Nami the Thief Cat, Usopp the Sea Warrior, Chopper Chopper, and Vivi, the princess of Alabastan.

They are all very interesting people. ”

"Hey, Luffy, what are you talking about, it's so rude, what a thief cat."

Nami gritted her teeth and scolded, how could she introduce her like this, is this the impression she gives others?

Ace took a closer look at his brother's companions.

"Hmph, it's interesting."

As interesting as you are, he still has a word in his heart that is not spoken.

......

In the box of a small restaurant in Alabastan, Luffy and the others are feasting, the plates and dishes are clanging, and the used utensils on the table have been piled into a small mountain.

Plates of food are poured into Luffy's mouth and disappear at an unbelievably fast speed, making one wonder if Luffy has a black hole in his stomach.

"By the way, Ace, why did you suddenly come to me?"

Luffy said inarticulately, reaching out with one hand and grabbing a piece of meat from Usopp's plate.

"Hey, Luffy, what are you doing!"

Usopp stepped on a chair with a knife and fork and angrily questioned Luffy.

"Actually, I didn't come to you on purpose this time."

Ace's expression was a little solemn, making everyone feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and they pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

"Luffy, you know, I joined the Whitebeard Pirates, I am the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates, I want Whitebeard to be the king of the sea, not you, Luffy."

Ace said solemnly, staring at Luffy closely.

Luffy was unmoved, he should eat and drink, and the movements in his hands did not stop at all.

"I don't care, I'm going to be the king of the pirates, and if Ace's captain tries to stop me, I'll beat him up."

Luffy said willfully, like a child's insistence on toys, but not exactly.

Full of childlike innocence, but unwavering, no outside force can interfere with his progress.

Ace smiled unconsciously, and his heart was open.

"Hmph, that's really what Luffy would say.

All in all, this sign is my pride, and I will not allow anyone to defile him. ”

Ace pointed to the Whitebeard Pirates logo behind him, his expression was serious, and his tone was cold.

"But, not so long ago, one of my subordinates made the unforgivable mistake on the pirate ship, he betrayed and killed his companion and fled from the ship.

My purpose is to seize him and bring him back to the ship to confess his sins, so that the souls of my dead companions can rest in Heaven.

I got the word that Blackbeard had been near Alabastan and that the guy had escaped from the ship not to be a pirate of unknown origin.

Maybe there's something bigger, and someone once told me that Tichy guy would definitely do something for fame, and with fame, he would be able to climb up better.

So I suspect he'll target Klockdahl, one of the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty, and you're a bit dangerous, but your bounty is too low, and even though you're a little famous in the first half of the Great Voyage, it's not so much that he's deliberately thinking about it.

In fact, there was something wrong with him for a long time, and he hid a considerable part of his strength, but no one thought that he would defect at the beginning. ”

Now, because of Bart's appearance, like a butterfly stirring its wings, many things that originally happened have not happened now, and there are even some changes.

For example, because of the appearance of Bart, Klockdahl did not engage in pirate plotting, but became a dark giant of the underground world.

Nominally, it's simply profiting from it.

In fact, a large amount of weapons and supplies were stockpiled for a possible future war.

Luffy and the others are much slower than the original book because of Chloe, and they haven't really been able to determine the true face of Klockdahl until now, but they have just arrived in Alabastan.

Blackbeard came to the East China Sea and tried to open a breakthrough in the East China Sea.

Because Luffy and the others have not yet defeated Klockdahl, their reputation is not obvious, and Blackbeard can't use Luffy as a promotion qualification, so he has to set his sights on the two Seven Martial Seas, Bart and Klockdahl, hoping to replace one.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
