I, the dragon man!

Chapter 217 Ace's Decision

Time flies, a full week has passed since Shanks arrived at Gaya Island and collided with Gawain.

During this period of time, the return of Sky Island Golden City and the collision between Gawain and Shanks have also become the hottest news in the world!
Near the Trillance Island below the Upside Down Mountain, the members of the Spades Pirates also welcomed the newsbird.

After taking out the latest newspaper, Deus, wearing a blue blindfold mask, threw the newspaper to Ace, who was lying on the bow and basking in the sun.

"Ace, look at the latest newspaper, the recent sea is full of big events!

The red-haired one who has just become the Four Emperors for a year, unexpectedly clashed with the Xuanniao's one like the old Four Emperors with white beard! "

While speaking, looking at the motionless Ace, Deus curled his lips helplessly.

"Hey, is it really good to be so sleepy all day long? You are the captain, shouldn't the captain be very busy!"

Snapped!
While speaking, Deus pressed the spread newspaper on Ace's sleeping face!

The face was suddenly attacked, and two fires burst out of Ace's face, but before he took advantage of the flames to burn the newspaper, he woke up in time and rescued the remaining newspaper.

Taking a look at the newspaper with burn marks, Ace pointed to the eye-catching photo on the newspaper with interest.

In the photo, Gawain is holding a girl in his left hand and Lu Ming Huche in his right hand, and he is constantly confronting Shanks' Griffin!

Of course, in fact, Gao Wen was sent flying in just a split second, and the confrontation only lasted for a split second.

But taking pictures is so amazing. Under the reporter's control, the picture stopped exactly at the moment when Gao Wen's knife collided with Griffin!
So, in the eyes of the uninformed, onlookers like Ace...

I saw Ace let out a loud exclamation!

"Hey, this guy is so strong, two of the four strongest pirate emperors in the sea are going to challenge him specially!

Moreover, the news of this man's failure has never been published in the newspaper!
So, lol...!
This guy must be the real number one in the world! "

Having said that, Ace slapped the newspaper on the deck excitedly.

"Guys, I've decided that the next step is to find this man who fought the white beard and the redhead respectively!
As long as I defeat him, my strength will definitely be recognized by the whole sea. In that case, the distance between me and One Piece will definitely become closer!

One Piece, I am determined! ! ! "

"Hey?!!

Ai Ai Ai, Ace! ! ? "

Hearing Ace's words, Deus was stunned on the spot, and he rubbed his head depressedly.

"I'm afraid you take it for granted, we and the person in the newspaper don't seem to be on the same route, right?
Moreover, this guy is a Tianlongren, you don't know the meaning of Tianlongren, do you?
Those are the nobles in the world, the most unprovoked group of people! "

"cut!"

Hearing what Deus said, Ace waved his hand casually.

"There's nothing you can't mess with, haven't the red hair and the white beard fought him before!
One of them is the Four Pirates, and the other is the strongest man in history!

That being the case, then of course I will have a good fight with this guy named Gao Wen!
If we want to become One Piece, we must get the approval of the whole sea, what could be faster than getting them to recognize my strength!
So start turning now, we're going to Gaya Island to follow in this guy's footsteps and beat him before the whole world! ! ! "

After the words fell, Ace rubbed his hat.

"How about it, aren't my words very imposing, haha.

Anyway, it's decided, let's go to Gaya Island!

It just so happens that I also want to meet that savior who is always talked about by my younger brother!
Red-haired Shanks, white-bearded Newgate, and the mysterious bird Gawain who have fought against them without losing the wind!
They will all be defeated by me! ! ! "

"But……."

Aside, Deus shook his head helplessly.

"But when we left Upside Down Mountain, we took the route of Trillance Island. If we want to go to Gaya Island, then... let me see."

Having said that, Deus found out the sailing route introduced to them by the old doctor named Culocat on Cape Twins.

"The old man in Gemini Cape claims that he has traveled to many islands. According to the route map he left behind, our current route does not pass through the ocean currents of Gaya Island at all!
If we want to go to Gaya Island, we have to go back to Upside Down Mountain and then take the route of Whiskey Peak again, which is really troublesome! "

"Haha, trouble is not a problem at all, after all, there are black bird Gawain, red haired Shanks, and white beard Newgate on that route!

So, let's go back now, no matter what, I have to meet that redhead!
In order to meet him, I have rehearsed how to greet him countless times over the years! "

Having said that, Ace pressed his hat and looked towards the distant sky.

His heart was filled with the experience of being in the windmill village when he was a child.

At that time, when Makino, the owner of the Windmill Tavern, taught him and Luffy etiquette, he specifically asked Makino how to greet the redhead!
Now that I have gone to sea, I can use all the things I learned at the beginning!
And at the same time, Ace remembered something special.

Apart from the redhead who saved Luffy, he had to meet a more important person.

That is... my father's vice-captain back then, Pluto Rayleigh!

He wants to have a good chat with his father's former vice-captain in person, first of all, he wants to talk about what kind of guy his father is.

As for the second...

He wants to talk about why Rayleigh boarded someone else's boat! ! !

While Ace was thinking, Deus on the side opened his eyes and looked towards the sea behind him.

"Hey Ace, there's a navy ship approaching!
It looked like it belonged to that fierce woman!
Isn't she the second lieutenant of Donghai, why did she follow the great route!

Ah, this man is simply lingering! ! ! "

While speaking, Ace's ship turned around quickly, and then rushed all the way towards the navy ship.

Looking at the oncoming ship, Ace jumped up, and then suddenly released a huge fireball tens of meters in size.

"Flame acceleration mode, activate!"

I saw Ace roaring loudly, and then, relying on the flames gathered at the stern, his ship quickly passed by the navy ship!
At the same time, on the bow of the navy ship, a beautiful female navy with orange-red hair cursed at the Spades Pirates who passed by.

"Damn it, after having Shao Shao Fruit, that guy can run away faster!"

After muttering, the female navy raised her knife and yelled at Ace.

"Huoquan, don't run away if you have the ability, come and pick me up, bastard!"

"Haha, how is that possible, I just fall asleep often, and I'm not really an idiot!

Anyway, I'm going to switch to the route of Whiskey Mountain to have a good fight with the black bird Gao Wen!
Goodbye, Iska, lol! ! ! "

Amid the loud laughter, Ace's boat disappeared in a flash, leaving only Iska standing on her boat with an angry face!

Beside her, the sailors she supervised approached.

"Second Lieutenant Iska, that Fire Fist Ace seems to have told us their next goal.

So what should we do, should we continue to chase? "

"Of course!"

Iska nodded quickly.

"He is going to meet that Gao Wensheng, what a rash decision!
Even if Gao Wensheng, who had fought with white beard and red hair, did not take action, the elder sister Gion next to Gao Wensheng would kill him with a sword! "

Having said that, Iska hurriedly gave orders to her opponent.

"Everyone, turn to speed up, we must reach Gaya Island before Fire Fist Ace is hacked to death by Lieutenant General Gion!

The Fire Fist can only be captured by me personally, that guy is my old enemy! ! ! "

Following Iska's order, his ship quickly turned around, and then chased Ace all the way.

……

……

……

At the same time, the capital of Alabasta, Albana.

King Cobra looked at the drought warnings sent from all over the country, and his whole body was dispirited.

"Hey!"

With a faint sigh, Cobra put aside the drought alarm, and then he planned to hold a meeting with his subjects as usual.

However, a sudden newspaper interrupted him.

Looking at the newspaper brought by the attendant, Gawain and the red-haired confrontation, Cobra swallowed heavily!

There have been so many reports of drought in the country recently that he almost forgot about another upcoming trouble!

That Gao Wensheng said that he would visit Alabasta in the near future!
So, in Alabasta, where there is no rain across the country and water shortages have lasted for more than six months in various parts of the country, so that the people are about to kill each other for a sip of water...

How could it be possible to do a good job of welcoming the Tianlong people!

Thinking of this, Cobra was at a loss, holding his head in frustration, and paused at the desk for a long time.

Until his daughter broke into his room!
Vivi, with long blue hair, is only 13 years old this year. Holding a large handful of puddings, she knocked open Cobra's door with her head.

"Father, why didn't you attend the breakfast banquet?

But that's okay, I brought you pudding, all my favorite flavors!
Father...? "

Speaking of this, Vivi inevitably saw Cobra's frown, and she probably understood the reason for Cobra's anxiety, so she came to Cobra worriedly.

The probe picked up the briefing and the newspaper on the desk, and after looking at each, Vivi grabbed Cobra's sleeve.

"Father, are you still worrying about the drought?"

"Yeah, hey..."

Cobra let out a long breath, and then he gently rubbed his daughter's head.

"For six full months, except for the capital, Albana, no rain has fallen in our country!

The six-month super-drought has worsened the desertification around the country.

Water shortages have already occurred across the country, and food shortages will follow.

The most important thing is that some cities have shown signs of rebellion, all because of the water source! "

Cobra is not afraid to say this to Weiwei, because he has always cultivated Weiwei according to the standards of cultivating heirs.

As his only daughter, Weiwei is destined to be the future queen of Alabasta, so the way he raises Weiwei is equivalent to that of a prince, not the ordinary lady education.

On the side, hearing Cobra's words, Vivi tilted her head slightly.

She kept thinking about everything she knew.

But no matter how hard she searched, she couldn't find a solution to the water shortage with the knowledge she had learned.

After all, in the thousands of years since the founding of Alabasta, there has never been such weather as it is today!
So, after thinking about it in every possible way, Weiwei could only tentatively speak to Cobra.

"Father, can we ask Mary Joya for help and ask them to provide us with enough fresh water and vegetables?"

"Hmph, don't even think about it!"

As soon as Vivi finished speaking, Cobra said to her daughter seriously.

"Remember, Weiwei, although we, like them, are all descendants of the twenty kings who built the world!
But ever since our ancestors chose to stay in Alabasta, we have been completely different from them!
Their fresh water and vegetables will not be handed over to us for no reason!

If I make a similar request to the world government, then the heavenly gold we need to pay this year will be countless times more than the basic heavenly gold!
But the problem is, given our current national conditions, it is difficult for us to even gather enough money for the basic heavenly money!

So, it is impossible for us to get support from the world government, because we have no money to ask for their support! "

"Is it……?"

Hearing what her father said, Vivi gently showed Cobra the newspaper in her hand.

She pointed to Gao Wen in the newspaper expectantly.

"Father, isn't Gao Wensheng coming to Alabasta as our guest soon? In this case, we can make a request to him alone when he arrives!
This Gao Wensheng once helped Murloc Island realize its dream of landing on land. Just a few days ago, he justified the name of the adventurer Rolando who was misunderstood by the sea for 400 years!

Look, Gao Wensheng, who is willing to bring so much help to others, must be a warm-hearted and kind person!

I think, if we ask him for help, he will definitely help us run inside Marie Gioia, right? "

"This……?!!"

Hearing this, even Cobra suddenly realized something, and he tapped his head in thought.

"Wait, let me think about it, I really didn't think of this question before!

I used to think he was just a nuisance in my head, because I saw him as a traditional Draconian!
Since Gao Wensheng has brought help to many countries, if we let him return with satisfaction to Alabasta and his party.

Surely he would be willing to arrange for us some food and water as aid! "

Having said that, Cobra finally became excited, and he happily rubbed his daughter's hair.

A child sees the world from a different perspective. The first thing he sees is Gao Wensheng's identity as a dragon, but the child sees Gao Wensheng's actions!

Although I don't know exactly how much treasure the Fishman Island paid for Gao Wensheng's help to them.

But there are fishman islands, and there is absolutely no shortage of Naferutali clan!
As for the mermaid princess, Cobra didn't take that matter to heart. After all, in his opinion, the fact that the mermaid princess became Gawain's fiancée is obviously a big advantage of the mermaid!
If it is really necessary to sacrifice the princess to get Gao Wensheng to lend a helping hand, then Cobra absolutely agrees with it.

After all, in order to protect a girl, Gao Wen is willing to personally fight a big pirate like red hair (newspaper propaganda), he is also very handsome, he is a world nobleman who treats women very well!
Although he only has one daughter, if Gao Wen can marry his daughter, then his grandson will be a Tianlongren!
As for the heir of the country of Alabasta, it is only necessary to choose one of the children of Gao Wen and Wei Wei.

Alabasta has been established for thousands of years, and when there was no world government, they were one of the great powers.

There have been various precedents in Alabasta for various troubles regarding inheritance rights!
As for whether Weiwei will face the threat from the mermaid princess?

Hehe, as a descendant of the king, how could Cobra not know about the succession relationship of the Tianlongren.

If you want a child of a Celestial Dragon to inherit the identity of a Celestial Dragon, the child's father must be a Celestial Dragon, and the mother must be at least human!

Therefore, even though Gao Wensheng already has a mermaid fiancée, he still lacks a real wife who can inherit the identity and surname of Tianlongren!

For a moment, Cobra thought about it thoroughly, and the joy on his face made Vivi laugh unconsciously.

Although I don't know what my father is thinking, but when my father is happy, Weiwei feels happy from the bottom of my heart...

It's just that they were happy for less than a minute when someone knocked on their door again!

I saw Cobra's attendant striding in, and then he said to Cobra and Weiwei in a panic.

"Your Majesty the King, Your Royal Highness, there is a rebellion in the city of Juba!!!"
