Chapter 258: Companions
In the end, it was Qiu He who made a move and pulled Luffy up who fell into the sea.
When Luffy came to his senses, instead of being angry at Qiu He for pulling him into the sea, he pounced with a golden light in his eyes.
Luffy's hands grabbed Qiu He's clothes and refused to let go, and his voice trembled slightly because he was too excited.
"I also want to fly in the sky in a boat like Ace."
"Haha...... There will be opportunities in the future. β
Qiu He smiled and gave a mock reply.
It's just that Luffy is so excited that if the storm robot is summoned, I don't know what kind of expression Luffy will show.
Hearing Luffy mention the boat, Ace immediately turned his head to look at his ship, only to notice that the small sailboat he had carefully prepared for going to sea had been damaged to an irreparable state, and it was impossible to go to sea today.
Ace tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, walked up to Qiu He, and asked with an unkind face, "Who are you?" β
"Me? I'm just an ordinary wandering swordsman, entrusted with the task of delivering something to you. β
While answering Ace, Qiu He silently reached out to break Luffy's hands that were clutching on his clothes.
Luffy's strength was not small, and Qiu He took a little effort to get a little serious before he broke the salty pig hands, but he was wrapped around his arm by Luffy, who was too excited.
That's right, it's entanglement, Luffy's suddenly elongated hand circled Qiu He's arm several times, and only a person with special fruit ability like Luffy can do this kind of thing.
It's okay to be entangled by a beautiful woman like this, but to be entangled by a man, even if the man is just a child, Qiu He feels unwell, and goosebumps are coming out.
"What, can you let me go?"
Qiu He lowered his head and looked at Luffy who was standing beside him and wanted to lean up.
However, Luffy turned a deaf ear to Qiu He's words and said to himself, "You come to be my companion!" β
Qiu He was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "What did you say?" β
"I'm the man who wants to be the king of the pirates, and when I go to sea, I want you to be my companion."
"Luffy, you get out of the way, I have something to say to him."
Ace, who was disturbed to talk, couldn't stand it at first, took two steps forward, grabbed Luffy's back collar, and wanted to tear Luffy off Qiu He's hand.
"No, I'm going to make him my navigator, sailing on the seas in a flying ship, and I will never give him up to Ace."
Luffy wrapped his hand around Qiu He without the slightest intention of relaxing, and stared at Ace with a vicious expression, as if defending his possessions.
And listening to Luffy's positioning for himself, Qiu He was speechless for a moment, he never thought that someone would actually give him the position of a navigator.
He knows nine out of ten about meteorology, oceanography and aerodynamics that a navigator must masterβnone of them, and if there is a ship for him to be a navigator, it is estimated that the best situation is to spin in place.
The last time we met, it was just a simple exchange, Qiu He didn't feel anything, but now Qiu He has an intuitive understanding of Luffy's magical brain circuit, and in his eyes, he can only see what he wants to see.
He only saw the coolness of the sailboat's flight, but he paid no attention to the wreckage left behind by the sailboat's landing.
Qiu He didn't want to continue to entangle with Luffy, so he directly wrapped the armed color domineering around his hand, and then hammered down on Luffy's head.
"It hurts." Luffy's hand wrapped around Qiu He's arm instantly retracted, covering the big bag on his head, staring at Qiu He with a frightened expression, "Why can your fist hurt me like grandpa's." β
"I'm not going to be a companion to a little imp who can't even resist my punch."
Qiu He raised his fist at Luffy, and then looked at Ace, his conversation with Ace was not over.
"I've made up my mind to make you my companion."
Luffy lifted his crooked straw hat, stared at Qiu He with tears in the corners of his eyes, and said cruel words, but did not approach Qiu He again.
Without Luffy to bother, Ace also looked at Qiu He and asked the question, "Who asked you to come, is it grandpa?" β
"No, although I met your grandfather on the way here, it wasn't him who asked me to come, but someone else......
Qiu He leaned forward, a little closer to his mouth and ears, and said softly in a voice that only Ace could hear, "Sabo." β
Hearing this name, Ace's pockmarked face instantly became gloomy.
Qiu He straightened up, took a step back, distanced himself from Ace, and said softly, "The next words need to be kept secret, so I hope to find a quiet room and talk to you two brothers." β
"No, how can they let their two children be alone with you, a person of unknown origin."
Magino, who was standing on the side, held his hands in front of his chest, stepped forward, and stared at Qiu He with a wary face.
She has always regarded Ace and Luffy as her own brothers, and naturally she will not let them be in danger.
"Okay, yes, let's go where we live!"
Ace gently pressed the hat on his head, lowered his head slightly, did not let people see his expression, and took the first step and walked forward.
"Ace!"
Magino stretched out her hand to stop Ace, but was stopped by the village chief Slap.
Slap shook his head at Magino, who could only withdraw his hand and stand in place, looking at Qiu He who was following Ace.
Seeing the worried looks of the group of people around him, Qiu He shook his head lightly and said, "Don't worry! If I really wanted to disadvantage the two of them, I would have done it directly, and it wouldn't be so troublesome. Moreover, counting it, Lieutenant General Karp and I are also acquaintances. β
Under the gaze of everyone, the three of Qiu He slowly walked into the woods and walked towards the base of the Dadan family.
Along the way, Ace lowered his head slightly, didn't say a word, just led the way in front.
Luffy, as if he had forgotten the pain of Qiu He's blow just now, wrapped himself around Qiu He again, shouting that Qiu He would be his companion, and Qiu He would unceremoniously reply with a domineering punch.
By the time he arrived at the base of the Dadan family, Luffy had been beaten by Qiu He with a big bag on his head, a blue nose and a swollen face, but he still insisted on Qiu He being his companion.
Lifting the curtain hanging on the door, Ace took Qiu He directly into the wooden house, and shouted at the fat woman who was smoking against the wooden wall with her back to the door, "Dadan." β
"Hmm!" Da Dan, who was smoking, was stunned, immediately turned around, looked at the door, and was surprised that even the cigarette in his mouth fell, "Ace, didn't you go to sea?" How did you come back again? β
Immediately seeing a big bag with a blue nose and swollen face, she reacted and asked, "Is that Karp guy back?" β
"Grandpa hasn't come back, my date to go to sea has been postponed, borrow the inner room, there are some things I want to talk to this person."
Without waiting for Dadan to reply, Ace walked inside.
Qiu He nodded at Dadan and followed in.
The three of them walked into the somewhat rudimentary inner room and closed the door.
Ace casually found a place to sit cross-legged, raised his head, and stared at Qiu He with a serious face.
"This place should be ok! Excuse me, Saab, what's wrong. β
Although it had long been believed that Sabo was dead, the mysterious man suddenly mentioned it, which made Ace's heart rise a little extravagant.
