Chapter 426: Everyone is in a group

"Father, I want to go on a long trip."

The well-behaved Kaya said to her father.

"Do you want to go to that island?"

"It's farther away, on the other side of the sea......"

“！！”

"It's absolutely not going to work, it's dangerous, Keya!"

"They're strong, they're friends with naval heroes, this is an opportunity, Father, Daddy!"

“…… I have a shipment to Rogue Town, if they can protect the strength of the goods... I'll agree, or you'll go home with me, it's dangerous outside, Keya. ”

Her father thought of a compromise solution, but as she grew up, she also needed to have a certain understanding of the family business and the things on the sea, although she had the idea of becoming a doctor.

"Okay~" Keya happily ran away and found the little ghosts of the Usopp Pirates again, "I'm going on a trip to the sea, by the way, bring your captain with me, that guy is talking about going to the sea and doesn't dare, I'm tired of listening..."

"Bastard, are you going to snatch our captain away?"

A few little ghosts shouted fiercely to Keya, "This kind of thing is impossible!" ”

"Guardian Captain Plan!"

The eldest lady crossed her waist with one hand, took out a stack of Bailey's banknotes from her arms, and bent down, revealing an unknown and slightly rude side.

"What are you talking about! Pirate funding... Don't want it anymore! ”

"I'm so sorry, Koya-sama!"

"We're not going to report to the captain, what do we need to do?"

——

Keya bowed to Ace and the other ladies, "Please take me with you when you stop by, as a doctor, I won't hold back." ”

"A warm welcome to Miss Koya~~"

Sanji applauded warmly, and there was nothing more exciting for him than a beautiful woman getting on board.

"Why are you making up your mind?" Ace touched his hat.

"Do you have a problem with creditors? Don't forget, your debts are still growing, and the cook has to pay for it. Sanji said viciously against Ace's face.

"I'm very sorry~" Ace sighed, "Then please advise." ”

Keya showed a gentle smile, exuding the temperament of a celebrity lady all over her body, attracting the people around her in a flash.

"Keya!!" Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, the father hugged his daughter and cried bitterly.

"You have to take care of yourself." He shoved a bank card into Kya's palm.

"Got it, Father."

This will be the last time for the father and daughter to reunite, and everyone will spread out and start purchasing.

Ace found Roger's execution table in the middle of the island, he looked at the tower, the flow of people around him, Ace couldn't feel the flow of people around him with his shoulder bag, just looked at the tower that was protected.

"Then again, was your father a pirate too? That's a great sea warrior, isn't it? ”

Usopp was interested in Ace.

Great Warrior of the Sea......

Ace moved his mouth and reached out to lower the brim of his orange-red hat.

"I don't know anything like that."

"Really? So you don't know, just like me? Usopp said, noticing the half-price food in the supermarket.

Zoro walked around the weapon shop, and the snow around his waist made the boss's eyes sharpen.

"Hey, little brother over there, those two weapons on your waist...... Is it from a man named Luffy? ”

"Huh? Do you know? Zoro looked at the boss.

He didn't come to buy knives, he just walked around, after all, this was a weapons store.

"Don't insult those three famous knives." The boss said.

"I will become the world's No. 1 swordsman." Sauron's tone was flat.

"Straight to the first? Then you've got to go. ”

The boss grinned.

Sanji bought the ingredients from the fish man and walked around the seafood market with fresh elephant tuna.

The area here in Rogue Town is very special, and you can buy miracle ingredients that I saw in books when I was a child, and are called sea gems.

It's just like ALL BLUE.

I wonder if I can meet the legendary ALL BLUE by chance when I go out this time?

The sacred place in the hearts of all chefs, the sea of legends.

Legend has it that there are four seas, a sea of all ingredients......

"The next stop is to climb that mountain, right?" Ace and Sabo were on the boat, waiting for the team to arrive.

"Hmm." Saab nodded.

As time passed, Sauron and Koya took Usopp aboard.

Following the guidance of the compass, we gradually arrived at the legendary Upside Down Mountain.

The raging currents kidnapped the light Merry in an instant, crashing them into the mountain.

"Is that the legendary Red Earth Continent?" Usopp was shocked, "Obscured by the clouds, I can't see the top at all!" ”

In front of the sea, an almost vertical cliff appeared.

"Come and take the helm!" Sanji nervously grabbed the rudder and struggled to control the direction.

"What now?"

"If we die, let's make a will here! I haven't fulfilled that dream yet, the dream of becoming a brave warrior at sea! ”

Usopp ran back and forth in the boat.

Kya's face turned pale.

Is this the legendary Upside-Down Mountain?

"Dream......" Ace sat in the bow of the boat, catering to the storm.

The ship entered the gap in the cliff and began to climb the 10,000-meter-high mountain.

The entrance gate is layered like a place where the gods live, and the door frame is painted with a totem that resembles a fish.

"Scared me to death, were we lucky? Aimed at the entrance, did not hit the mountain. Sanji gasped.

"Hahaha, live, survive!" Usopp said nervously.

The boat maintained its momentum, rushing down the current to the other side of the mountain, and then down the waterfall into the uncharted sea.

"Is it a newcomer again? It's really energetic...... Hahaha, no, there is no pirate flag...... Is it a sheep flag? ”

Kulokas, who was fishing on the edge of the lighthouse, noticed the old lightweight sailboat.

With astonishing speed, without reverence for the great sea, they rushed into the distance.

"An adventurer, or a bounty hunter?" Kulokas watched the excitement.

However, it was not long before he saw the ship row back at an alarming speed, and then sped away again.

"Is this the Great Passage? It's not a big deal. Usopp stretched and looked at the view from outside the boat.

"It's all ordinary."

"Ace, the compass seems to be broken." Sabo didn't have time to take care of the ship, and looked at the compass that was spinning wildly in his hand.

"Then throw it away, and try your luck to buy a new one on the next island." Ace didn't care.

"That's right." Saab casually threw the compass into the sea.

Zoro is asleep, and Sanji is in the kitchen preparing new ingredients, elephant fish with ivory.

"Hey, don't you think we've been spinning around......" Kya asked, uncertain.

"Isn't the ship always moving forward?" Ace looked at the sea and was convinced.

"It's moving forward, but I feel like it's going backwards? You see, Upside Down Mountain is still near us......" Koya said, pointing to the Upside Down Mountain behind her.

"It must be an illusion, the boat is going too slowly, the wind direction and the current are right." Saab was sure.

Kurokas watched the ship with amusement, hovering between forward and backward.

"It's stunned, come here without any preparation."

He lay on a recliner, drinking comfortably and watching the aftershow.

As night fell, the lighthouse's beams hit into the distance.

"Something is wrong, our ship is broken."

No matter how sluggish Ace is, he feels like there's something wrong.

"We haven't moved, and while our senses are not wrong, the boat has not moved."

"There's a lighthouse over there, let's go and ask." Khaya pointed to the lighthouse.

The Merry turned around and docked.

"What, little ghosts, is it finally feeling bad?"

As Kulokas watched the sheep ship come to shore, he knew that they had suffered a lot, and followed the lighthouse to find him.

"Good evening, sir, what's going on here?" Keya shrank back and asked.

It's so cold on this island.

It is also one of the responsibilities of lighthouse keepers to popularize common sense for newcomers.

Kulokas happily explained the basics of the Great Passage.

“…… If you don't keep a record, you'll have to rely on luck to get to the next island, and if the navigators aren't professional, the ship will be played by the climate as before. ”

"What then?" Usopp froze.

And this kind of item to move and survive in the Great Passage?

"When you wake up early tomorrow, keep your eyes open and wrestle with the weather." Kulokas said.

"Then there is no way, let's sleep here for the night." Ace said.

Usopp brought in dry firewood, Ace lit the fire, and Sanji began to cook on the side.

"Who are you, not pirates?" Kurokas also received food from Sanji, and he ate it while chatting with the crowd.

"My name is Ace, and I'm a bounty hunter." Ace said.

“…”

Kurokas' gaze shifted to Ace.

The name? Is it a coincidence?

And the captain's saber is a name.

"The next One Piece must be my son!"

Roger's heroic voice echoed in his ears.

"Captain, where do you have a child?"

"Hahahaha......"

Ace......

"Hey, have you seen Shanks?"

Kurokas asked.

“！”

The scene, which was originally quite lively, suddenly became cold.

Those who knew the weight of the names of the four emperors all fell silent without exception.

"Incense... Shanks ?!!! The crowd exclaimed.

"Really, that Shanks?" Usopp was shocked.

"Your face is so familiar, there's a sniper on that little ghost ship in Shanks, it's called ...... Jesus, was one of his cadres. Kulokas looked familiar to Usopp.

"Ah!!h

Usopp sat on the ground.

"That's my father, is my father on such a great ship?!"

"Really? You really look like him. Kulokas said.

"Great, Usopp, as soon as I went out, I found out where my father was, and sure enough, as long as you take action, it's half the battle." Keya smiled.

"Well, I saw that guy when I was little." Ace nodded calmly.

"Really... Your father has left you a great gift, a gift that you swear to be king. Kulokas said.

No one expected that Roger's guy, when he was dying, would run to create people.

"I have a better one." Ace's fingertips lit up with wisps of fire, flames burning in his pupils.

"Shanks, I also saw this pirate when I was young, with Luffy." Zoro groped his chin in thought as he ate.

"It turns out that the red-haired man, is he such a remarkable existence?"

"Wait, you know Shanks!" Usopp and Sanji were shocked.

"Wait a minute, we've heard terrible news!"

Usopp felt like he had left something behind.

"It's over, Navy Hero, !! with the Four Emperors" Usopp was shocked.

"We're going to be killed, aren't we?" Usopp was horrified.

Keya was speechless, "No, it should be said that everyone is in a group?" ”

"yes, yes, that's right, maybe Luffy still knows my father." Usopp suddenly realized.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect everyone to be in a group......"

"Is it a coincidence? How do you feel that everyone has either seen Luffy or is related to Shanks......" Sanji furrowed his brows.

"Hahaha, maybe it's fate, right?"

Kurokas didn't expect this group of people to be connected to those two imps.

"This is for you, as my respect for the captain." Kurokas pulled out his record pointer.

"Originally, the course was one out of seven, but my record pointer is full, and you have no choice but to sail along a fixed road." Kulokas said.

Ace did not refuse the gift.

Because they need pointers to move between islands.

Kurokas thought Shanks' words.

The young man, with hatred.

What's the reason not to hate, but the captain knows about it, so he won't care too much, right?

What the future is, no one can say, young people have the power to change their destiny infinitely, they have the future.

The next morning, Ace stood on the edge of the island in high spirits, looking at the scenery in the distance.

"Sabo, you're ready to go!"

"With this, it should be unobstructed, right?" Saab plays with the tiny hands in his hand.

"Not necessarily, you'll have to wait for storage time." Sanji said.

"Don't you ask me, what kind of man is your father?" Kulokas watched as the young man got ready to go.

"No, I'll see it myself." Ace replied.

"Hey, so, who is Ace's father, and who is the old man of the lighthouse, it feels like a big person." In the end, Usopp still didn't know Ace's identity.

However, judging from the tone of the dialogue, it must be an unprecedented big man.

Even Shanks, you can call it, that little ghost.

"Usopp, now your father is also a big man." Keya reminded.

"Hahaha... Okay, Uncle Ben has to work hard! Usopp was full of energy.

The ship headed for the position indicated by the record pointer.

Their next stop is...... Cactus Island, Whiskey Peak.

"Come to the Great Passage without asking Luffy for a permanent pointer, and I'm really confident in my own strength, young man now."

Kulokas watched the rookies of the era go away.

——

The Ace line came to an end.
