Pirates: Starting from the Demon King of Uta.

Chapter 23 About always meeting idiots

“Climb this mountain and the world will hear our story!”

Ace, who had just climbed the Upside Down Mountain, said proudly. Just as he was about to say "One Piece, I'm determined to respond", he heard Deus sighing next to him.

"Ace, this is indeed the Grand Line. It's the first time I've seen it stop raining and I have to disembark."

The forest is really big and there are all kinds of birds.

"Disembark? What disembark?"

Ace was confused and didn't understand what Deus meant, so he looked in the direction Deus pointed, and several others also looked together.

I saw a ship landing vertically in the sky above.

"I actually got off the ship. It's worthy of the Grand Route."

Ace was very nervous and was still sighing at this time, but the smart crew members were ready to face the impact of the waves the moment they saw the ship. They visually estimated that the opponent's falling location would be very close to them, but It was too late to leave at this time.

But what happened next surprised others.

The ship was obviously still descending rapidly, but when it was about to reach the sea, it suddenly paused and then fell into the sea without causing too many waves.

"You said there would be someone up there?"

Ace touched his chin and asked in question.

"This ship doesn't even know how it got into the sky, so how could there be anyone on it?"

Moreover, this ship is too weird, how could there be anyone on it?

Before Deus finished speaking, he could hear a man's laughter coming from the boat opposite.

"Hahahaha, it was so fun, how about doing it again?"

It was Link who was laughing, they were the ones who were thrown off this ship by the golden lion.

Fortunately, the golden lion had a clear head and knew that the ship could not withstand the impact, so he gave them a hand.

"Farewell, please spare me."

Uta had just escaped from the intense feeling of weightlessness, and he didn't want to experience it again.

"Isn't it fun? Let me experience it again with Loser's Dust."

Although Link's 'Loser Eats Dust' seems to have some flaws in his opinion, it is harmless.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Wiping the sweat caused by fright on her forehead, Uta looked at her wrist. There was the record pointer given to her by the golden lion to guide their direction.

But at this glance, only the wooden bracelet is left on the wrist, and the recording pointer has long disappeared.

Uta then remembered that when he fell just now, he seemed to hear the sound of breaking glass. Looking around, he saw the fragments of the record pointer that could no longer be put together.

Uta couldn't hold it any longer, and immediately picked up the phone and called Golden Lion. Sure enough, this old guy was never reliable.

In the phone bug, Uta scolded the golden lion. The golden lion laughed and said a few words of apology and then asked them to find a solution. He also asked Indigo to buy a record pointer, and now he wants to go back and give it away. Nothing can be done.

Without listening to Uta's accusations against the golden lion, Link opened the door and walked out of the deck.

At this time, the weather was calm, the sun was just right, and there was a ship facing them not far away.

Stretching out, Link felt very comfortable under the sunlight.

"Hey, Freckles, Mask, Twins, Shorty, hello."

Link smiled and waved hello, and Ace and the others looked at each other, confirming that Link was calling them.

Although, it sounds a little uncomfortable.

"You can call me Ace."

The boats on both sides are not far apart, so there is no need to shout when talking.

"Okay Freckles, I get it."

Link was still smiling, but it made Ace want to hit someone.

"Who are you talking to?" Uta finished arguing with the golden lion at this time, heard Link's voice outside, and walked out.

Seeing Ace and others opposite, he immediately said: "Hey, do you have any extra record pointers? If you have more, can you sell us one?"

To take the Grand Route, apart from special beings like the Golden Lion, recording pointers are a must, so Uta wanted to ask the other party if they had any extra ones.

If there is nothing extra, we can only ask Link to help the other party quit his addiction. Anyway, the other party is flying the pirate flag, so Uta has no psychological burden.

"What is a record pointer?" x2
There were two questions. The first one was from Link beside him, but Uta had automatically filtered him out. The second one was from the captain on the opposite side, which confused Uta even more.

Looking at Uta's puzzled eyes, Ace turned back and asked their partner.

"What is a record pointer?"

But everyone couldn't answer Ace except their confused eyes.

"Hey, we met another bunch of idiots."

Uta shook his head helplessly.

It seems that ever since I met Link, I have always met idiots. The same goes for the Golden Lion, and so do the guys in front of me.

Fortunately, there is a lighthouse not far away. Uta can only hope that there is someone there and there are extra recording pointers.

No longer paying attention to Ace and others, he greeted Link and started sailing towards the lighthouse not far away.

Ace and others looked at each other and followed.

After anchoring and going ashore, the lighthouse was not too high. Uta went up to knock on the door and asked if there was anyone inside.

"Freckles, you are here too."

Link said hello, and Ace waved his hand impatiently, "I told you my name is Ace, not Freckles."

"Oh, I know, Freckles."

Ace was too lazy to talk to Link anymore, so he came over and asked, "What is the record pointer she was talking about just now?"

There is not much news about the Grand Route in the East China Sea. There won't be a big pirate in this place for several years. After all, there is a vice admiral who likes to go home often.

Ordinary people can live in the East China Sea for a lifetime, so Ace knows very little about the Grand Line. He only knows that he can become the Pirate King by circling the Grand Line.

But he obviously asked the wrong person.

"I do not know."

Link's answer was very sincere. He really didn't know these things. The Golden Lion knew him very well and didn't tell him at all. He only told Uta all the information.

"You don't know? Which of you two is the captain?"

"Me?"

"You are the captain and you don't know what the record pointer is?"

"But don't you know you are the captain?"

Ace was left speechless and wanted to defend himself, but he didn't feel anything was wrong.

"Forget it, Ace, this guy is probably about the same as you, there's no need to keep asking."

Deus came up to comfort him, but Ace also felt that something was not right. What do you mean, he is similar to me?
Before Ace could refute, the door of the lighthouse not far away slowly opened, and an old man walked out, yawning, rubbing his eyes and looking at the people outside.

"On what day is it so busy so early in the morning?"

Uta was overjoyed to see someone.

"Uncle, do you have any extra record pointers? I want to buy one."

Kurokas glanced at Uta's wrist, saw the record pointer that only left the bracelet, and immediately understood what was going on.

"Don't worry, I have a lot of them here. Too many young people come here to explore the Grand Line without any preparation. But it just happens to be enough for me to earn some drinking money."

Kurokas was very tolerant of polite young people. He went back to the house and took out a large box. The box was opened and it was divided into seven grids. There were some record pointers in each grid, but the pointer pointed to The direction is different.
