Pirates: Hungry Ghost

Chapter 34 The Teachings of Rotes
"This Ace is really slow, I'm almost done eating, and no one has come yet."

"Sure enough, it was the right choice to leave him behind."

Rotes bit the sea beast meat, glanced around the coast, and found that there was no sign of Ace. He couldn't help but feel that he had done the right thing for his decision to abandon Ace in advance.

He originally thought that Ace's physical skills could be so strong, so he looked at it this way, he had killed two or three of the sea beasts, and he was about to finish eating the last one, but even Ace's shadow no see.

If this Ace doesn't come, he will have to train himself. Rotes swallowed a piece of meat in his mouth, and suddenly heard the "swish" leaves rubbing in the dense coastal forest, and then, a embarrassed figure finally appeared .

"Ace, your speed is slow enough, I've already finished my breakfast."

"If you are a pirate like this, you won't even be able to eat."

When Rotes saw Ace, he immediately gave a lecture.

Ace, who had just emerged from the dense forest, was suddenly stunned by what Rotes said. He had already run as hard as he could. Who knew that Rotes ran so fast.

"Forget it, let's finish training."

Seeing Ace's bewildered face, Rotes felt bored, grabbed the leftover sea beast with one hand, and threw it directly to the shore.

"Rotes, eat raw?"

Ace looked at the bloody and bony sea beast corpse in front of him, and couldn't help feeling a little flustered, and asked Rotes.

"Brother, this is a sea beast. It tastes good when eaten raw."

"You don't want to eat cooked meat all the time, do you? Pirates are not a job to enjoy. You will be hunted down by the navy every day, and you will be missed by other pirates."

After listening to Ace's words, Rotes couldn't help explaining a little speechlessly. Ace and Luffy are probably two idiots. Ordinary pirates eat raw meat. It's normal to eat raw meat. They don't even know what a pirate really is. , Just like being the One Piece, are you following the trend, or do you think being a pirate is very fashionable?

"Forehead……"

Ace was immediately speechless by Rotes' words. He looked at the wreckage of the sea beast in front of him, and couldn't help swallowing. Thinking in his heart that in order to surpass that man, his eyes suddenly became firm and he gnawed on the sea beast .

"That's right."

Rotes looked at Ace's movements and nodded. This is what a pirate should look like. You have to love what you do, and you can't be different.

Not long after, Ace finished eating the sea beast's meat and kicked the sea beast's skeleton into the sea, and the man jumped off afterward.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"already ate."

"Then swim with me, don't lose it."

Rotes looked at Ace, who was not used to it, and asked a few words, and after receiving Ace's answer, he began to take the lead in swimming.

Rotes cut through the waves and drew a long white line on the sea surface. Ace followed closely behind and tried his best to barely escape.

Ace stared at the back of Rotes, his eyes sparkled, he saw the target, as long as he could reach the level of Rotes, he was one step closer to surpassing that man.

In order to surpass that man, even if he sacrificed his life, Ace will never back down. He has been invincible in Fengche Village for a long time, so Ace has gradually slackened his practice, and the spirit of fighting with Luffy in the wild beasts since childhood is also slowly Fading away, the stable life of the past few years has allowed him to be at ease for too long.

Now, someone finally appeared in front of him, broke his false comfort, and let him start fighting again, instead of waiting a few months later, until his 17th birthday to go to the sea to fight hard.

"You're too slow, Ace."

"If you look like this, we won't be able to swim a hundred miles until dark."

Rotes looked at Ace's swift swimming movements, and couldn't help being a little disappointed. Ace was holding him back too much. Now he is considering whether to abandon Ace and train by himself. I had to beat him back, but I didn't expect to trap myself.

Ace is almost 17 years old, only this level of strength, swimming is as slow as a snail, running is even slower to death, physical skills are so bad, and he doesn't work hard all day, he goes to the city every day to eat and drink, so leisurely, no wonder In the future, he will be beaten by Blackbeard as a melon rind.

If he can practice as hard as he does, in the future, not to mention being able to kill Blackbeard, but if he is evenly matched, he will definitely have no problem leaving if he wants, and he will not be beaten into a husky.

"I'm sorry, Rotes."

Ace looked at Rotes' disappointed eyes, and sincerely apologized.

"Okay, you grab my foot."

"I'll show you what training is. If you swim like this, in my village, you would have starved to death."

Rotes looked at Ace's appearance, and thought about that old man Garp, the way a white-haired man sent a black-haired man, it was pitiful, and he reluctantly helped Ace, just as a repayment of Garp's teaching.

"Ok."

Ace hesitated for a moment, and immediately swam to Rotes' feet, and firmly grasped Rotes' feet.

"Catch it, I'm going to swim with all my might."

As soon as Ace grasped Rotes' feet, Rotes' words came from his ears. He was about to raise his head, but he felt a huge pull in his hand, and his whole body quickly charged on the sea like a boat breaking through the waves.

"So fast."

Ace looked at Rotes, who was paddling with only two arms, and couldn't help admiring in his heart. He never thought that Rotes could reach a speed far exceeding that of ordinary sailboats with only two arms.

The sun rose from the top of the mountain to the sky, and Rotes took Ace to swim for a whole morning, and finally began to slow down and stop on the sea.

"Ace, go and see if there are any sea beasts, it's time for us to have lunch."

Rotes pulled out the foot held by Ace, turned around and said to Ace.

"Ok."

Ace quickly agreed, he was very excited now, he saw the way to become stronger, and Rotes showed him what is called gymnastics and what is called training in the morning.

Ace only felt that he was too relaxed before. From now on, he must learn the method of Rotes to become stronger, strive to become a strong person, and then surpass that man.

After the two searched around in the sea, they found four sea beasts that were preying. Rotes quickly solved the sea beasts and had a happy lunch with Ace.

And on the shore, Luffy was lying on the ground like a salted fish, chanting from time to time:

"Ace, Ace, I'm hungry, Ace."

"Ace, where did you go, Rotes?"

Luffy rubbed his belly, his face was full of sadness, Ace, who was always inseparable, suddenly disappeared, which made him very sad, although he also knew that Ace would go to sea in a few months, and he had to wait for three years, Only then can he go to sea, but now he is too uncomfortable.

Luffy looked at the empty sea, dragged his hungry body, and walked towards Makino. Luffy knew that Makino would prepare food for him.

On the sea far away from Windmill Village, after Rotes and Ace finished their lunch, Rotes asked Ace to continue to swim back to Windmill Village with him. He was not going to drag Ace any longer, otherwise today's training would be useless .

"Ace, swim faster, such slow swimming will not achieve the training effect."

Rotes swam fast while urging, now that they are swimming towards the windmill village, Rotes is not afraid that Ace will get lost, so he dares to rest assured that Ace will follow him.

"Ok."

Ace replied briefly, trying to speed up the paddling, followed closely by Rotes, his face full of seriousness.

"Well, Ace, let me tell you, to be a human being, you must have a sense of awe, and you can't be blindly arrogant. When a person becomes more famous, he will start to be conceited. When he starts to be conceited, he will not be far from death. .”

"Golden Lion, Lonely Red, those two guys were the same strong as Mr. Garp before, but in the end, they were arrogant, arrogant, and bold. Now one is disabled, and the other has been squatting in the city for decades. This is bloody. Lessons."

"Also, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. Remember not to hold back the enemy. Admiral Zefa is the best example. The first time, his wife and children were killed. The second time, his own arm and The nearly full ship was slaughtered by the pirates he let go, look at how funny this is."

"Also, let's continue with the last point. In this sea, only physical skills are the most important reliance. Unless the devil fruit can be developed to awaken, otherwise, you should practice good physical skills and surf the sea. Otherwise, the capable person will die. It's very fast."

Rotes taught Ace persuasively, for fear of this melon skin, he would impulsively deliver food to Blackbeard by himself in the future.

"I see."

Ace showed a serious look on his face, and accepted Rotes' warning humbly. Although he didn't know what the devil fruit awakening and the lonely red were, he still knew what kind of person his grandfather was. Yes, so, I am very concerned about Roters' words.

"Well, children can be taught."

Rotes nodded, feeling very satisfied with his education work, at least Ace listened to it, right? If it was Luffy, he thought it would be better to beat up Luffy first. Don't give me food.

It is estimated that only in this way, Luffy Husky will be obedient, but according to Rotes' estimate, Luffy can't understand it even if he remembers it, so this is why Rotes didn't lead Luffy to train.
