"Sabo! What happened to Saab? ”

Before Qiu He could speak, Luffy, who looked like a pig's head, had already come over.

Although he couldn't see what his expression was because he was unrecognizable, Luffy's excitement could be heard in his voice alone.

Qiu He raised his hand and flicked it lightly on Luffy's forehead, and Luffy immediately flew out upside down and hit the wooden wall.

Clapping his hands, Qiu He didn't sell it, and said softly, "Your brother Sabo is still alive." ”

"What! Saab, Saab he ......"

Luffy, who was sitting in the corner, didn't doubt Qiu He's words at all, and was so excited that he was incoherent when he heard the news that Sabo was still alive.

Buried deep in the depths of memory for several years, the brother who thought he was dead was suddenly told that he was still alive.

The violent emotional fluctuations stimulated Luffy's tear ducts, making him unable to stop shedding tears of joy.

"Where? Where is Saab now? ”

Luffy pounced on Qiu He again, and Qiu He, who had expected it, directly reached out and pinched Luffy's head to prevent Luffy from sticking snot and tears on his clothes.

And unlike Luffy, who has a tendon, Ace was not carried away by this exciting news, although he was also excited, but after taking a few deep breaths, his mood calmed down a lot.

"How can I believe that what you say is true, and what proof do you have to prove that Saab is still alive?"

Although his mood has calmed down a lot, Ace's voice still trembled uncontrollably when he said this questioning word.

He was afraid, he was afraid to confirm that what Qiu He said was false, how he hoped that Qiu He could come up with ironclad evidence that he was powerless to refute to prove that Sabo was still alive.

But if Saab is really alive, why hasn't any message been passed on to the two brothers for so many years.

Luffy also struggled weakly under Qiu He's men, and roared unrelentingly, "yes, yes, why should we trust you, unless you tell us where Sabo is now." ”

"I am only responsible for bringing the word, and as for believing or not believing, it is your own business, and it has nothing to do with me."

Qiu He threw Luffy in his hand into the corner of the wall and spread his hands, his voice revealing indifference that he didn't care about.

From the beginning, Qiu He didn't plan to tell them Sabo's location directly, and naturally he wouldn't prove to them that Sabo was still alive, he just used Sabo to start a conversation.

Ace's face changed, and he stared at Qiu He with a gloomy expression, and asked, "So, what did Sabo ask you to send me?" ”

"Although the shelling of the Draconians a few years ago did not kill Sabo, it did cause very serious damage to his brain, causing him to lose his childhood memories. The memories of you are gone, how could he entrust me to deliver something to you! Someone else will bring you something. ”

As he spoke, Qiu He took out a towel from his backpack and wet it with water, wiping his palm that was accidentally stained with an unknown liquid, and he didn't know if it was Luffy's tears or snot, or both.

Hearing this, Ace's face became even darker.

Saab has amnesia, which explains why Saab hasn't contacted them for so many years, but it also shows that if you don't know Sabo's specific location, it's harder to find Saab than to ascend to the sky.

After all, the world is so big, and it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find someone who only knows the name.

"Someone who entrusted you, what did you want to send me? What do you have to do to tell me about Saab? ”

"Oh~ you believe it?"

The corners of Qiu He's mouth rose slightly, and his voice was full of ridicule.

Of course, Qiu He knew that Ace didn't really trust him, but this matter was related to Sabo, so no matter how unlikely it was, Ace would choose to believe it.

didn't push Ace too hard, Qiu He took out a glass of colorful juice from his backpack and handed it to Ace.

"This is what my client asked me to give you."

The colorful soft light emitted from the transparent cup attracts people's eyes, and people focus their eyes on it without paying attention.

The faint and fresh aroma from the opening of the cup constantly tickles the taste buds, making the mouth constantly secrete saliva and want to taste the taste of this juice.

Ace withdrew his gaze with difficulty, turned his head away from the glass of juice, and sighed, "What a gorgeous poison!" ”

Luffy had a crystal clear hara hanging in his mouth, and his eyes were shining at the juice in Qiu He's hand.

"I want to drink!"

Luffy stretched out his hand and wanted to snatch the juice from Qiu He's hand, but Qiu He withdrew his hand slightly, and then threw the used towel in his face.

"This is not a poison, this is a rainbow juice squeezed from the rainbow fruit, a specialty of the New World, which has a sweet fragrance and an endless aftertaste, and is very sought after in the Great Voyage. Just one cup can be sold for a million Baileys on the Great Route, and it has no price. ”

Qiu He shook the cup in his hand, watching the rainbow juice in the cup change color due to the vibration, and couldn't help covering his chest with some colic.

This, originally prepared for himself, but now he has cheapened Ace for nothing.

Gently pressing his chest and relieving his breath, Qiu He continued, "However, rainbow juice is just a flavoring, and what I really cherish is the additives added to this cup of juice. ”

"This additive, for this Luffy kid, is a fierce poison that will explode all over the body and die if you touch it, but for you, it is a ladder to step on the road to the strong."

That's right, the addition to the rainbow juice is the devil fruit, and it is the human fruit that Qiu He originally considered eating by himself - Susanoo form.

Since the burnt fruit that should have been obtained by Ace was obtained by Sabo first, in order to carry out the plan he thought of at the beginning smoothly, Qiu He decided to give this powerful devil fruit to Ace, anyway, he himself didn't really want to eat the devil fruit.

Listening to Qiu He's words, Luffy's hand, which was already about to touch the cup, quickly retracted, and his body moved back a little distance.

Ace stared at the juice in Qiu He's hand, frowned slightly, and asked, "Is it a devil fruit in it?" ”

"Congratulations, you guessed it. My client said that what you want can be obtained from Whitebeard in the New World, but with your current strength, you can't get there at all, so I have carefully prepared this cup of juice for you to promote growth. ”

Qiu He handed the glass in his hand to Ace again, waiting for his decision.

Qiu He believes that Ace will not let him down.

In fact, when Qiu He spoke, he played a little word game.

Ace thinks that going to Whitebeard will get news of Sabo, but in reality, he will only get a father's love that he has not felt since he was a child, and find a new godson for Karp.

Ace pondered for a long time, the expression on his face changed and changed, and finally reached out and caught the cup handed over by Qiu He.
