Chapter 147: First Encounter with Ace
"Captain, you can see the outline of the island ahead."
In the early morning of the fourth day after finalizing the trip to the Magic Triangle, Peyton, who spends his days on the watchtower as a lookout, suddenly let out such a shout.
Hearing Peyton's shout, everyone on the Furnace stopped what they were doing and ran to the railing to look at the outline of the island in the distance.
"Is there a magic triangle ahead?" Rhea asked with some curiosity.
"How can it be so fast, the Magic Triangle is close to the waters of the Chambord Islands, and we are still two or three islands away from there, to say the least."
Bellamy, who was abused by Rhea with a blue nose and swollen face, couldn't help but complain, in exchange for a rather unkind punch from Rhea.
"Judging by the charts we have, this island should be Montros......"
Robin looked at the charts and gave the name of the island ahead.
"Montros Island...... Is there anything this island is famous for? Yamato asked with some curiosity.
"I don't think so." Robin shook his head slightly:
"I don't have any information about this island in my memory, so it's probably just an ordinary island."
"The island seems to be very lively."
Peyton, with a sniper scope, said in a playful tone.
"Hey, if you want to speak, just tell me directly, whether it's a celebration or a battle or something, don't go around like this!" Rhea said dissatisfied.
Peyton glanced at her and subconsciously twisted his head to the other side, but after a moment he still spoke:
"There's fighting going on on the island, but I'm not sure what the situation is."
"The nearest naval branch around here should be the G4 branch...... If I'm not mistaken, the branch is several islands away, and it looks like pirates are raiding the town. ”
Robin's brow furrowed slightly, because when Orn became the Seven Martial Seas, the navy provided a lot of information about the naval branch, and she now knew a lot about the deployment of the navy around the world.
"Orn, let's go help the inhabitants of the island." Yamato asked, looking at Orn.
Despite claiming to be pirates, the people on board have never done what pirates are really supposed to do—except for one person.
"Isn't it natural for pirates to settle towns? I said, after all, you are also the Seven Martial Seas, are you really used to doing this kind of idle thing like those little pirates who love fantasy and like to play with their families? ”
Bellamy stuck out her tongue and glanced at the group on the boat, and said a word of sarcasm.
As soon as his words came out, the eyes of everyone on the boat fell on this guy.
"So, you've ever done something like looting towns?" Orn looked at Bellamy with a rather dangerous look.
He knew that this guy was a complete bastard when he went to sea in the original book, otherwise he wouldn't have accused others of being a good man when he lost to others while playing cards in Magic Valley Town.
But now, two years ahead of this guy's departure to the sea, Orn still thinks this guy hasn't done such a thing.
"I ......" Bellamy was furious from Orn's eyes, but he still said stiffly:
"Sooner or later, I'm going to raid the town, but I'm going to follow the new age of Doflamingo's ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, Orn had already kicked him hard in the ass, directly kicking him into the ocean.
After waiting for about ten seconds, Orn said to Peyton:
"Fish him up."
Peyton jumped into the ocean and returned to the deck with a white-eyed Bellamy a moment later.
After stepping on Bellamy's stomach and draining all the seawater he had drunk, Orn asked coldly:
"Are you awake?"
"Ahem...... Bastard, are you going to kill me? ”
After a long violent cough, Bellamy spoke angrily.
Orn looked at Bellamy and said with a serious expression:
"You should be glad you haven't done that kind of thing, otherwise it wouldn't be as simple as sobering up in the sea."
As he spoke, Orn pulled a bovine steel block out of his bosom—everyone on board knew what it meant.
Bellamy was taken aback by Orn's move, but when she came back to her senses, she felt very embarrassed by the performance she had just performed, so she stiffened her neck and shouted:
"Come on, you kill me, I don't want to stay on this broken ship anyway!"
Laugh at!
Almost as Bellamy's words fell, dark red lava landed on his chest, scorching the smiling face tattoo on it.
Bellamy, stimulated by the intense pain, screamed loudly, and a look of panic clearly flashed in his eyes.
He never thought that Orn would actually kill him, and for a while, he couldn't help but feel regret in his heart.
If he was given a chance to choose again, he would certainly not choose to provoke Orn.
Just when Bellamy thought that his life was about to end, Orn's voice faintly came to his ears:
"Rhea, heal him."
Bellamy could feel something tied to his waist, and the intense pain suddenly disappeared - in fact, Orn didn't kill him, and under the control of his subtle ability, the magma he had just hit Bellamy's chest was not even five hundred degrees.
In addition, the magma was almost touched, but it didn't cause much damage to Bellamy at all, but only scorched the flesh of his chest.
But Bellamy didn't know this, he had only suffered two major injuries since he was a child, one was blown up by Orn with droplets, and the other was the one Orn had just given him.
Because of the previous time when he was half-killed by droplets, he passed out without even knowing what happened, and this time the pain was so unforgettable to him that he mistakenly thought that he had walked before the ghost gate closed.
Bellamy, who was "the survivor of the catastrophe", gasped for breath and raised his eyes to Orn as he stroked his rapidly healing chest.
There was no resentment in those eyes, only deep fear.
Now he is like those spiritual guys that Orn has seen in his previous life who keep saying that he wants to mix with society, he speaks louder than anyone else, and in fact he doesn't need to really see any big scenes, he is just beaten up and honest.
"Do you still want me to kill you?"
Unafraid, Orn surveyed the crimson block in his hand up and down, and asked Bellamy with a sarcastic expression.
Bellamy's heart wanted to continue to harden his mouth, but the itching sensation in his chest that healed quickly made him feel really afraid, so he couldn't say anything when he came to his mouth as if he had pressed the mute button.
Seeing that the wound on Bellamy's chest had formed a bloody scab, Orn did not hesitate to untie the Lion King and return it to Rhea, and at the same time did not forget to say to Bellamy:
"You don't want me to kill you, and those civilians don't want to be killed by pirates for no reason, think about it.
Next time, before I want to say anything, but before I say anything in my head, think about this wound in my chest, and think about what the pain just felt like.
I don't care why you want to be a pirate, but I don't allow the kind of scum you call on my ship. ”
Bellamy muttered in his heart, "If I hadn't made a bet with you, I wouldn't want to stay on your broken ship", but he couldn't say it anyway, so he could only bow his head silently, thinking viciously in his heart, "Master Doflamingo will clean you up sooner or later".
Orn knew exactly what was going on in Bellamy's mind, but he didn't bother to correct it—after all, he was waiting for this guy to report to him so he could see what Doflamingo was all about.
"Okay, there's nothing for you to do here, rest well for the past two days, and when you're healed, I'll let Rhea practice with you."
After saying this, Orn no longer looked at Bellamy, but ordered Urki to concentrate on the helm and steer the ship in the direction of the island of Montros.
Bellamy looked at Orn, who was ignoring him, and wanted to say something, but Rhea secretly dragged him and said to him in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"If you want to rest, you can go, don't make yourself uncomfortable...... In addition, there are anti-inflammatory drugs in the second cabinet at the door of the warehouse, so I went to find a little to eat, and if the wound is infected, it will be very troublesome. ”
Seeing that his expression was as natural as usual, and he did not reject Rhea, who was distant or spoke ill of him just because the captain had just punished him, Bellamy suddenly felt that this woman who flattened herself every day didn't seem to be so annoying.
"Thank you......"
The devil sent the gods, Bellamy blurted out these two words.
As soon as this word came out, even his own eyes widened and he hurriedly covered his mouth.
Leia was also stunned for a moment when he heard these two words, but he didn't say anything, only smiled at him and waved his hand to drive people away, but he couldn't help but secretly think in his heart:
The captain was right, this kid wasn't that bad.
…………
After Bellamy went back to his room to rest, the Furnace Country was getting closer and closer to the island of Montros.
"Captain, there are two boats parked on the shore, one unflagged and the other seems to be ...... The Pirates of Spades? ”
Peyton looked at the scene in the sniper scope and reported to Orn with some uncertainty.
"Huh?!"
Orn was stunned for a moment, and then asked in hindsight:
"Did you mention the Pirates of Spades?"
"That's right, it's the Spade Pirates, I've seen about them in the World Economic News."
After all, they are rookie pirates who went to sea in the same year as Orn, and there is gossip that the other party refuses to become the king of the Seven Martial Seas, so there have been a lot of news reports about the Spade Pirates, and it is normal for Peyton to recognize them.
Hearing Peyton say so firmly that the ship in the distance was the Spade Pirates, Orn couldn't help but show an extremely strange expression.
He had thought that he would enter the Great Passage in the same year as Ace and would most likely meet Ace in the paradise, but he didn't expect to meet this guy on his way to the Magic Triangle today.
"Take a look at the front, speaking of which, I'm really curious about that pirate group."
Orn urged Urki to speed up the voyage, and Ulki simply activated the Hearth's auxiliary wheels.
With the rapid sliding of the oars, the Furnace Country rushed towards the island of Monteros at a great speed, and Orn and the others gradually saw the flag of the Spade Pirates.
It's really them, and I don't know what Ace is doing on this island......
Thinking like this, a roar suddenly came from the depths of the island, followed by billowing black smoke.
This is...... Ace made a move?
"Let's take a look!"
With such a sentence at that, Orn leapt toward the center of the island covered in lush jungle almost as soon as the ship was docked on the shore.
Everyone in the Orn Pirates was a little confused when they saw this, but seeing that their captains had already rushed up, they could only quickly follow.
Orn shaved through the jungle quickly, and soon heard the sound of crying dad and mother in the distance.
Almost as he was about to rush out of this dense forest to see what was going on, an extremely young shout suddenly sounded in the distance:
"Fire Fist!"
Immediately after, the color in Orn's mind immediately sent out an early warning.
In the next second, a huge flame fist with a size of more than ten meters rushed towards Orn with a devastating momentum.
Looking at the huge fire fist in front of him, Orn's face showed a bright smile, he didn't choose to dodge, he simply raised his fist and threw it forward.
Rumble!
The fist hit the huge fire fist, causing the originally unstoppable fire fist to suddenly burst open, turning into a sky full of sparks and dissipating.
"Huh?!"
The moment the fist of fire dissipated, an exclamation could be heard in the distance, and Orn could see the young man in the cowboy hat in the distance through the scattered flames in the sky.
The boy looked like he was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a freckled face, a light yellow short-sleeved shirt, an orange cowboy hat, and two badges pinned to it, as if he was silently mocking the guy who looked at him.
Portcas. D. Ace, it's finally time to meet!
"The captain's fire fist has been taken!"
"Someone can actually take the captain's fire fist, where the hell did that guy come from?"
"Are these poachers their accomplices?"
Behind Ace, all sorts of strange-looking guys also showed shocked expressions when they saw Orn coming out of the forest.
For the first time in so long since they had been out at sea, they had seen a guy who could crush the captain's fire fist head-on.
"Grunt Meow~"
Not far from the Spade Pirates, a large cat with a fierce look, but an unexpectedly delicate scream, and obvious injuries on its hind legs, was barking its teeth in the direction behind Orn.
"Captain, the big cat is barking again...... It seems to remind us that there is support behind this man! ”
Behind Ace, a sniper wearing a top hat and a long trench coat whispered a reminder to Ace as he aimed at Orn.
Almost as soon as his words fell, Yamato and the others followed Orn's steps to the front of the Spade Pirates.
While the two sides were looking at each other, a scene of saber rattling, a blue-haired young man with a mask on his face behind Ace let out an exclamation:
"I remember where I've seen you...... You are Orn, the new king who defeated Klockdahl, the Seven Martial Seas! ”
Regarding Bellamy's age, the author searched for a long time but couldn't find it, so according to the time point when Ming Ge arrived in Dressrosa 10 years ago (1512) in the New World Chapter, Bellamy was 15 years old when he met Ming Ge, so Bellamy's age in the book is set at 20 years old, three years younger than the protagonist and Yamato......
