Chapter Seventy-Two, The Empty Mind Reading

"Uh... Sure enough, smoke and fire can't tell the winner? . . . Let him run away. โ€

On the damaged street, Smoker sat on a fallen stone slab and lamented that he and Ace couldn't help anyone, and finally let them escape.

"Smoker! Are you alright!? โ€

Dusty hurriedly ran over and cared about the intensity of the fight between Smoker and Ace just now, and she was terrified just by looking at it.

"What can it be? That pirate can't hurt me... It's just that the air commander seems to have followed the Straw Hats. โ€

"What!? Brigadier General-sama has been kidnapped!? โ€

"How is that possible? Although he is very young, he is by no means an ordinary person, and it is whimsical that the Straw Hats want to arrest him... Dusty, did you just notice the crew of the Straw Hats? โ€

"Huh? I don't see this... We were behind, and when we came up, Ace's wall of fire was already blocking the view. โ€

Smoker looked in the direction in which the Straw Hats had disappeared.

"I... Seeing the princess of this country, she mingles with the Straw Hats and looks like a companion. โ€

Dusty covered her mouth.

"How is that possible!? Her Royal Highness the princess is messing with pirates!? โ€

Smoker frowned.

"Well, I think, the air commander must have also discovered this, so he continued to disguise, just now he was already planning to do it, the princess and the pirates mixed up... Something must be going on in this country that is not well known, and it has something to do with Klocodahl! โ€

"So what are we going to do next?"

Smoker took out the strategy that he had written for him.

"Go to the rebel garrison."

Dusty hesitated.

"But... According to the rules, our navy cannot interfere in this kind of national infighting. โ€

Smoker looked at the notes.

"The air commander said that the rebels of this country have been misled, and the king's army has also been misled, and the turmoil in the whole country has been secretly provoked by Klockdahl, and he wants to take advantage of the chaos of the whole country to enter the palace and rob a treasure, oh, the Seven Martial Seas... Pirates are pirates, and dogs can't change to eat. โ€

"Anyway... Go to the rebels, maybe you can get information that we don't know, and then maybe you can understand how Klockdahl is doing, cheer up, Ace bought time for the pirates, and the air commander is also enduring the humiliation to buy us time! The princess must have pinned her hopes on the Straw Hats, and their target must be Crocokdal. โ€

Dusty's voice was a little dry.

"Endure the humiliation... Load? โ€

Smoker sighed.

"Otherwise, the air commander must have gone to protect the micro princess secretly, and now the micro princess has been deceived by the pirates, and forcibly taking her away will cause a backlash, so the chief he is willing to be a meat ticket, if the straw hat gang does something bad to the princess, the air commander will also have time to rescue, Dusty, don't underestimate the evil of the pirates, this kind of thing, I've seen too much, sir, he is now... Maybe you're being tortured by the Straw Hats. โ€

Dusty's eyes were filled with mist.

"Brigadier General, he... It's really too much to sacrifice. โ€

Smoker nodded.

"In the headquarters, there are not many people I recognize, but the air chief is one, bold, careful, powerful, and responsible, if all the navies were like this, the pirates would have been caught a long time ago."

Dusty gave a military salute.

"Colonel! Let's go! In order to get the air commander out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible! โ€

"Hmmm! Let's go! โ€

Aboard the Golden Merry.

Sitting comfortably in the orange grove at the stern of the boat, holding a fishing rod in his hand, and there are special drinks on the table next to him, as if he was on vacation.

"Golden Merry... Sure enough, it was a good ship, although it was small, but it had good stability. โ€

"Hahaha, yes, my brother's vision is not bad, hey, Luffy, this little golden retriever is praising your boat!"

Next to him sat Ace, and after intercepting the navy, Ace also came to the ship to join Luffy.

Then when Zoro and the others saw Ace hooking up with Sora, that expression was not to mention how wonderful it was.

Luffy, who was having a banquet on the ship's plywood, stretched out his head and grinned.

"Yes! Ace! You're going to be my crew! โ€

"No, I've said it, I'm going to make the pirate in my heart the One Piece, we're competitors."

"That's a shame."

Empty the fishing rod.

"Forget it, because of the existence of sea cats, these offshore fish don't bite the hook, or I used to have fun with the old man Karp to go to the windless belt, and the sea kings took the initiative to bite the hook one after another."

Ace pouted.

"That old man walks sideways on the sea, and my father is not very willing to take the initiative to provoke him, and we capable people are still quite afraid of sea kings without wind, and if we don't pay attention, we will be broken and fall into the sea."

"Hahaha, too... Sniff, it's so fragrant, what a smell. โ€

At this time, Sanji walked out with several large plates of delicacies.

"Let's eat!!"

The empty index finger moves.

"I didn't expect that I would still have the day when I could eat the food cooked by Sanji."

Sanji was surprised.

"You know me?"

"Chef Barati, a disciple of Red-Footed Jep, I've heard of it for a long time."

Sanji was very happy.

"I didn't expect our names to run to the Great Route."

A scoop of cold water was poured on the air.

"Oh, that's not like ... If you have a chance, you can go to the Water City, there is an old man over there, who is very good at his craft, I have learned from him, and he often talks about him and his younger brother Zhepu. โ€

"Huh?! Small... Younger brother!? โ€

"That's right, that's what he said, he said that Zhepu's cooking skills are not as good as him, but his little brother."

Sanji's face darkened.

"Then I must meet this old man for a while, Navy, you can see how my craftsmanship compares to that old man!"

When it comes to cooking, Sanji is instantly high-spirited.

Sora went down to the deck with Ace and unceremoniously sandwiched a piece of fried meat balls.

"Woo. It's delicious! The skin is crispy, the meat is tender, and the juice is full! Oh? It also adds the unique desert red pepper of Alabastan to add a touch of desert flavor to this fried meatball... emm, there is a little bit of sweet and sour to neutralize the greasy and spicy taste of the meat, is it orange juice? โ€

Sanji's eyes lit up, and there was nothing more comforting for a chef than someone who knew his own dishes.

"O connoisseur! Are you a foodie!? โ€

"No, I just like to eat."

Sanji rolled up his sleeves.

"You guys eat, I'll make you another dish of mine, there are really not many people who know how to eat these days!"

Luffy's mouth was full.

"I know too! Sanji! I'm going to eat meat!! โ€

Ace looks like a steady brother in front of Luffy.

"Luffy, I still have to eat a little food once in a while."

Nami lifts her forehead.

"It's really hard to imagine that Luffy's brother is such a gentleman."

The rest of the people nodded as well.

At this time, Sora found Chopper hiding behind the mast with his body exposed, watching him.

"It's revealed."

Chopper: "((o๊ˆŠoแท…เฅ‚โ€–))ีž"

Luffy introduced.

"This is our ship doctor! Awesome! โ€

Empty nod.

"I know, Tony Tony. Chopper, a disciple of Hiluluk, the most powerful doctor on Drum Island. โ€

Chopper was shocked.

"You! Do you know the doctor!? โ€

Sora recalls the image in his mind.

"Ahh The man who was romantic to death saved a country with a cherry blossom. โ€

Chopper's eyes moistened, and then she burst into tears.

"Woo wow wow wow !! Doctor!!! Did you see that!!! Someone remembers you!! He said you're a famous doctor! โ€

Ace quipped.

"Hey, you don't know all about the road crews, do you? I tell you, be careful when talking to this guy, I don't know how young he is, but those eyes seem to be able to see through a person's entirety. โ€

Usopp does not believe in evil.

"It's really fake, can you see through Uncle Ben?"

Sora ate a piece of meatball again and said lightly.

"Kya, Jesus."

"Poof!!"

Zoro leaned over with a wine glass.

"It's interesting... Then look at me, I debuted very early, and I don't believe you know where I came from! โ€

The corners of the empty mouth are raised.

"Guina, and the Tao of the word... Dusty. โ€

"You... Are you the devil! โ€

Sanji came out with a new dish.

"This game is kind of interesting...

Before he finished speaking, he just opened his mouth.

"Vince..."

"Shut !!!"

In an instant, everyone on the entire ship, except for Luffy, had a trace of jealousy in their hearts.

And this is also the effect of empty desire, he doesn't want to be Luffy's companion, he can go all the way, but don't treat me as your companion, it's always good to have a fear.
