After leaving Robin here, the warship refueled a little and left the port.

The next stop is the Windmill Village.

At this time, the warships of the eight branches were all rushing towards the windmill village, and the people in the windmill village were still immersed in the sadness of parting.

The head of Windmill Village, looking in the direction of Mount Gorbo, muttered.

"I'm leaving!"

And Mount Gorpo here.

Luffy and Dadan are a group of people who gather here to eat and drink to celebrate Ace's upcoming voyage.

Luffy grabbed a piece of meat, slammed it on Dadan's face, and said with some sadness.

"Na~Na~"

"Dadan, Ace is going to sea the day after tomorrow, are you really not going to send Ace?"

Dadan removed Luffy's hand, snuffed out the cigarette butt in his mouth, glanced at Ace, and spoke.

"We're bandits.

Those guys in Windmill Village will be shaking with fear when they see us coming down the mountain, right? ”

Seeing what Luffy wanted to say, Dadan directly grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into Luffy's mouth, turned his head to look at Ace, and said in a somewhat hurried tone.

"Ace, if you want to leave, hurry up and leave for the old lady."

Hearing this, Ace stood up, bowed to Dadan, and said gratefully.

"Dadan and everyone, thank you for taking care of you all the time."

After saying that, Ace continued to sit down and eat meat, without the slightest intention of leaving.

Eat a meal in the mountains today, a meal in the windmill village tomorrow, and set off the day after tomorrow.

When Dadan saw Ace sitting down to eat meat again, most of the parting emotions that had been brewing just now dissipated at once.

The next day, Ace took Luffy to Windmill Village again, and the two of them were here again, eating with the villagers once.

Then, the time quickly came to the third day.

...

Early in the morning of the third day, Ace stood on a broken sampan and waved to the villagers.

One of the villagers pointed to Ace's leaky sampan and shouted.

"Hey, Ace, just use my old fishing boat...

Your ship will sink soon..."

Ace glanced down at the slowly leaking wrecked ship under his feet, stretched out his toes without a trace, plugged the loophole, and waved his hand at the villagers above the harbor, shouting.

"It's okay, I'm going to sea like this."

Then, Ace shouted at Luffy again.

"Luffy, see you on the sea in three years."

Then, Ace took a scoop in one hand and scooped the sea water out of the boat, while the other hand grabbed the oars and began to row hard.

That damn navy, took all its own money ... As a result, he didn't even have the money to buy a small fishing boat, and he had to leave some money for Luffy to eat...

A month before Ace went to sea, he picked up a small sampan from the beach that no one wanted, and after a little repair, it became his first pirate ship.

Luffy sat on the dock, looking at the pirate flag flying in the wind on Ace's ship, and muttered to himself.

"I'm so envious... Ace..."

It only took half a day's work, Ace's boat finally disappeared into the sea level, Luffy stood up, patted his buttocks, and went to the village to eat.

...

Luffy made a [ten] gesture to Magino, then held a knife in one hand and a fork in the other, and waited there quietly for the meal to start.

Magino looked at Luffy, who looked a little lost, and deliberately added a little more meat to him.

"Whew~Whew~"

Magino was already surprised by the sudden snoring in the restaurant, and skillfully took out a coat from under the counter and draped it over Luffy.

Looking at the sleeping Luffy, the corners of Magino's mouth turned up slightly, and he also prayed for Ace in his heart.

[Ace, take care.] 】

....

In the evening, Luffy finally woke up.

"Ha~~"

Luffy stretched and chirped, and just as he was about to cook, he noticed that there seemed to be an extra person next to him.

"Ai... Mugwort... Mugwort... S..."

Luffy opened his mouth wide and looked at Ace next to him.

Have you slept for three years? Ace has returned from the sea???

Luffy hurriedly turned his head to look left and right, and saw that there were many villagers gathered in the tavern, looking at their solemn faces, Luffy asked with some doubts.

"Everyone, what's going on?"

The village chief of Windmill Village sighed and said slowly.

"The warship is coming."

Hearing this, Luffy stretched out his left hand to put his arm around Ace's shoulder and smiled.

"Ace, I'll help you fly them."

Ace glanced at Luffy and ignored him, recalling what happened this morning, the sorrow in Ace's heart couldn't be resolved, there were too many warships on the other side.

...

This morning, after rowing for half a day, Ace felt a little hungry in his stomach, so he simply stopped the boat and began to eat dry food.

Then, he noticed that a bunch of small black dots suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea.

When the group of black dots got closer, Ace could see what it was.

It was a dense crowd of warships.

Ace roughly counted, at least there must be more than 100 ships.

Smack!

The dry food in Ace's hand fell directly on the deck.

More than 100 warships, under the command of Asuka, lined up and prepared to surround the windmill village.

Asuka stood at the bow of the ship, binoculars in hand, looking for something up and down the endless sea.

According to the letter from the two or five boys he arranged in the windmill village.

Just this morning, Ace had already gone to sea.

Calculate the distance, it's almost there.

At this moment, the sailors on the lookout noticed something floating on the sea, and after looking at it for a while, he shouted to the birds below.

"Lieutenant, I found a broken sampan on the left front of the warship, with a pirate flag hanging on it."

Looking in the direction of the sailor's finger, the corners of the bird's mouth suddenly outlined a smile.

[It's finally here!] 】

Then, Asuka picked up the phone bug and spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the pirate ship in front of the warship on the left is the pirate Portcas. D. Ace's ship, our cannons must be aimed, we can't fish with all our might. ”

With that, Asuka gave an order to the sailors behind him.

"The cannonballs must fall around the pirate ship, don't hit the ship, one shot kills, and there is no way to carry out the follow-up plan."

...

Ace didn't know what was going on, he only knew now that hundreds of cannon muzzles were being pointed at him.

And then...

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! ....

A series of artillery sounds rang out, and hundreds of pitch-black shells were smashed towards themselves.

Some of the shells exploded in the sky, and some of the shells did not make a sound until they landed in the sea.

From this, it can be seen how worrisome the quality of this group of shells in the Navy is, and it looks like it is about to expire.

But Ace didn't pay close attention to that.

The bomb that fell next to his boat and the huge waves that made it were enough for him to eat a pot.

After ten rounds of shelling, Asuka looked at the small sampan that was already facing the sky and pouted.

Then he picked up the phone bug and spoke.

"Start counting the battle damage."

After a while, there was a jumbled sound from the phone bug.

"The 146th branch of the East China Sea, after the naval battle just now, lost two warships, 27 cannons, more than 1,000 shells, and more than 100 flintlock guns..."

"The 127th branch of the East China Sea, after the naval battle just now, lost one warship, fifteen supply ships, and five hundred tables, chairs and benches, oh, our colonel also said that he couldn't find his cloak just now, and he was adding a cloak..."

"The 55th branch of the East China Sea, after the naval battle just now, lost three warships, ten small fishing boats, and 300 standard broadswords..."

....

"Whew!"

The colonel of the 146th branch of the East China Sea gently spat out the smoke, listening to the thrilling battle damage just now, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Sure enough, it's a murderous sea thief."

"Could it be that the calm East China Sea is finally going to produce a second Roger?"

Thinking of this, the colonel of the 146th branch commanded to the naval soldiers next to him.

"Today is still conservative, you look at the 55 branches of the people, and three ships were blown up at once.

The next time we shell, we will directly blow up and sink four damaged warships, and there are a little too many damaged warships in our branch, so hurry up and blow them up. ”

....

ps: Today's three watches, two watches, almost meaningless.

The third watch is over, readers, see you tomorrow.
