Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 145 Is it this black beard you are looking for, or that black beard?

"Luffy!"

Rapeseed flowers on the streets of the port city.

The crimson falling from the sky suddenly landed next to Luffy, shocking the passers-by, and then they followed Luffy's footsteps and started running together.

"Yeah, it's red!"

Luffy shouted in surprise: "Why are you here too!"

"Of course I don't trust you~!" Chi Hong glanced at him hard: "We will have important things to do soon!"

"Ah, I'm so sorry!"

Luffy showed a rare apologetic look, but then looked forward firmly, and explained to Chihong:
"But there's nothing I can do..."

"Because I just saw Ace's figure!!!"

"There are so many people here that we can't run away at all!"

The next second, with the red electromagnetic floating move, the two of them instantly flew into the sky, shocking ordinary passers-by again.

boom! ! !
The next second, the bodies of the two brothers suddenly collided with each other, making a dull sound.

"Long time no see, Ace!"

A look of surprise flashed across Luffy's face as he was hung in the air by Red Red. Then he took a deep breath and shouted to the front:

"That's right~"

"...Luffy~!!!!!"

But Luffy, who was hugging Ace, immediately jumped off of him and laughed excitedly:
"It's really you!"

And he still clearly remembered that Ace, who had just appeared, had a big B in front of the Straw Hats!

"I didn't expect that you would suddenly fall from the sky."

"Is this the direction?!" Chihong nodded, and then a bright electric light suddenly flashed under his feet.

Luffy stepped aside and saw Red, who had already fallen to the ground but did not come forward to disturb the reunion of the two brothers, stepping forward.

"That's right!" Luffy's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, "Then I'll leave it to you, Red!"

"Yes, Luffy!" Ashton responded excitedly: "After I heard that you went to sea, I originally wanted to inquire about your whereabouts on the nearby islands..."

"I'm actually starting to look forward to it." Chihong murmured to herself.

"Speaking of which..." Ace was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "How did you fall from the sky!"

Hearing Chi Hong's way of greeting, Ace was stunned for a moment, but after looking up and down, a look of shock suddenly appeared on his face:

"Ace!? Your sworn brother?"

"Um?!"

When the crowd who heard the shouting saw this scene, they immediately dispersed in panic.

The first appearance of Luffy's sworn brother Ace seems to be in this city.

"I'd rather fly you there!"

And under Luffy's domineering grasp, he immediately stretched out his finger and said to the street in front:
"Ace is right there!"

Chihong was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered the plot of Pirates.

The two figures flashed and flew towards the street in the distance.

correct!

After knowing the reason for Luffy's sudden disembarkation, he didn't say anything more and instead directly grabbed his hand on Luffy's collar.

I wonder what Ace's expression would be this time if he knew that Blackbeard, whom he had been chasing so hard for so long, was defeated by the Straw Hats not long ago and his life or death was unknown.

"It's indeed Ace! It can't be wrong!"

"Hello!!!!!"

"Ah, speaking of that!" Luffy grinned widely, "Of course it's because of my partner!"

"You are……"

Ace, who was looking for a restaurant on the roadside, suddenly stopped: "Is it my imagination? Why do I feel like I heard Luffy's voice!?"

"Are you Red from Windmill Town!? Wait! You went to sea with Luffy!?"

He turned around in confusion, and then he saw a red figure descending from the sky with claws and teeth, and then smashed straight towards his location.

Ace was the only one left standing there with a look of surprise on his face, and shouted:

"Ace——!!!!!"

In less than ten seconds, a figure wearing an orange sunhat and bare upper body appeared in the sight of Luffy and Red.

"It's been so long, Ace!!!"

"I can already feel it! Only he has such a strong aura!"

Thinking of this, the corners of his red mouth turned up slightly, and a playful smile suddenly appeared.

Red smiled slightly.

Although when he traveled through time, Ace had already gone to sea to become a pirate.

But after all, Chi Hong’s original body was a native of Windmill Town, and a peer of Luffy and Ace...

Even though I can't get along with Ace and the others, their friendship is still at the stage where they look familiar and can call each other by name.

……

……

Ten minutes later, in a restaurant near the street.

Luffy and Ace each had a bowl of fried rice stacked as high as a hill in front of them.

As if they were racing, the two picked up the spoons in their hands and ate quickly. Just tens of seconds later, all the rice, which was half a person's height, fell into their stomachs.

After drinking another large glass of juice, the two brothers seemed to come to life. They fell on the recliner and patted their bellies in unison:

"Yeah~ I'm full! I'm full!"

After doing this, Ace turned around and said to Chi Hong, who was drinking the desert country's special drink through a straw:
"I never expected that so many things would happen after I left!"

"Haha, when we learned that you joined the Whitebeard Pirates, everyone was also shocked for a long time!" Chihong responded to him in the same tone.

Then he changed his tone: "Speaking of which, as the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates, why did you suddenly appear in the first half of the Grand Line?"

"You can't really come here to visit him because you heard the news about Luffy going to sea, right?"

"Hahaha, although I really want to meet Luffy, but..."

At this point, Ace's eyes suddenly dimmed. He lowered his head as if recalling something and said in a deep voice:

"I came to the first half of the Grand Route this time to do some official business!"

"Business!?"

Luffy, who was sitting on the other side, blinked blankly, showing confusion.

But Ace suddenly pointed his thumb at his back.

And behind his naked body, there was a beautiful skull with a crescent-like white beard.

This is a beauty that is enough to make most people who know it immediately show a look of horror.

Because behind this skull represents the most powerful man in the world - Whitebeard Edward Newgate! ! !

Ace showed a proud smile again and explained to Luffy:
"This is the hallmark of the Whitebeard Pirates!"

"It's my pride!"

"Speaking of which..." Ace looked at Luffy and Red again and smiled:

"You two, do you want to join the Whitebeard Pirates?!"

"I do not want it!"

As soon as Ace finished speaking, Luffy immediately refused decisively.

Ace was not angry because of Luffy's refusal. Instead, he laughed loudly:
"Ahahaha... I think so, I'm just asking casually."

"but……"

Ace's eyes suddenly became serious:

"Whitebeard is the best pirate I have ever encountered, and I want that man to become the Pirate King!"

"Not you, Luffy."

"I can't pretend I didn't hear this, Ace."

At this moment, Chi Hong suddenly put down the glass in his hand and said with a confident and affirmative smile:

"The one who will become the Pirate King will definitely be Luffy!!!"

"Hehe, that's right!" Luffy grinned: "Anyway, when the time comes, all we have to do is have a fight!!!"

"Really?" Ace looked at his naive brother, then looked at Chi Hong behind him, and couldn't help but shake his head:
"You two are really confident!"

"But be careful~ This sea is not as innocent as you think!"

"Hahahaha~ We already knew this!" Luffy continued to reply with a laugh.

Hawkeye in the East China Sea, Giant in the Little Garden, Blackbeard not long ago...

He now has a very deep understanding of the power of this sea! ! !
"By the way, Ace, is it convenient to disclose the official business you mentioned before?"

Feeling that Sanji and others were about to go back, Chihong changed the content of the exchange again and asked knowingly.

Luffy on the side immediately cast a curious look.

"It doesn't matter if I tell you." Ace said seriously: "I am chasing a man, and that guy's name is Blackbeard!!!"

"Blackbeard!?" Luffy was stunned, "What a familiar name!"

"familiar?"

"He has indeed done a lot of things in the first half of the Grand Line recently."

Ace glanced at Luffy in surprise, but explained:

"That guy was originally a member of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates, that is, my subordinate!"

"But he committed an absolutely unforgivable felony!

"He killed his companions and then escaped from the ship!"

"As the captain, I have the responsibility to find him and make him pay for his sins!"

"The reason why I came to this country is because I saw the intelligence..."

"Blackbeard was seen in the Juba area of ​​the Kingdom of Alabasta!"

"Oh, right!"

Luffy suddenly slapped his palm:
"Didn't we just defeat a guy named Blackbeard a few days ago?!"

"That guy is really ridiculously strong. He also has a particularly powerful fruit ability. His smile makes people feel extremely annoying."

"I never thought there was a guy named Blackbeard in this country?"

"That's such a coincidence!"

Luffy said with a smile as he picked up the drink that the store had just delivered.

But just as he was about to put the drink into his mouth, Ace suddenly opened his eyes wide and rushed forward:
"You...what did you say!?"
