One Piece Flame Emperor Ace

Chapter 43 Ace's Hat

As a foodie, when you arrive at a place, of course you have to try the local food first.

Although the Gaya Kingdom is small, because it is a transportation hub, the tourism industry has developed very well, so there are also several local delicious specialties that must be tasted.

"Guest officer, the braised jumping fish you ordered is here!" A waiter put the plate on the table in front of Ace. When he lifted the silver cover on the plate, a strong aroma seemed to form It lost its essence and slowly floated to Ace's face.

suck~
Can't help but take a deep breath, the saliva in Ace's mouth suddenly secreted vigorously.

Index finger moves!

It is indeed the number one signature dish in Gaya!

Ace picked up the chopsticks on the tablecloth, reached out and gently picked up a small piece of cheek meat under the fish's eyes, dipped it in the soup, and put it in his mouth.

"Sigh~"

Ace gasped, and the fish melted in his mouth, extremely tender.

What's even more amazing is that the fresh and tender fish meat is like popping candy, bouncing continuously in Ace's mouth, slightly stimulating his taste buds.

"Cool!!!"

After Ace swallowed the fish, he couldn't help shouting.

The guests around were not surprised when they saw it. Instead, they looked at each other and smiled, as if they had seen this scene too much.

Ace used to be not refined when eating, but this time when he encountered such a delicious food, he exposed his true nature. He picked up a bowl of rice, and started to eat the jumping fish!

Fish with rice, exciting!

……

After eating and drinking, Ace began to wander along the central avenue of Gaya City.

Obviously, there is no such mysterious organization as urban management in the Kingdom of Gaya, so the streets are full of vendors setting up stalls.

Ace stopped and walked, and suddenly stopped in front of a hawker stall selling hats.

"Handsome guy, do you have anything you want?" The peddler is a middle-aged uncle. Seeing Ace stop, he immediately started to sell desperately, "All the hats here are designed by professional designers. Good quality and low price! Don’t miss it when you pass by!”

Ace didn't listen to him, his eyes were firmly attracted by a certain orange hat.

I saw that this hat has two emoticon decorations of smiling face and crying face, and there is a skull brand tied with a rope under the hat!
It is the hat that Ace always wears in the anime.

"Is this fate?" Ace laughed, and the freckles on his face seemed to be cheering. He pointed to the hat and asked, "Boss, how do you sell this hat?"

The hawker's eyes are bright, there is a show!

As an old fritter who has been in society for many years, he saw Ace's love for this hat at a glance, so when he gritted his teeth, the lion opened his mouth and said:

"Ten thousand Baileys!"

"Old Grandet, are you crazy? You bought this hat for only [-] Berries, and you dare to sell it for [-]?" The stall owner next to him kept fighting with him, so he immediately broke the stage.

"That's right, only a fool would buy it! A profiteer!" A passerby also interjected.

But Grandet ignored them at all, still staring at Ace, he believed in his own judgment!
It's just that the sweat streaming down his forehead shows that Grandet's heart is not peaceful.

"Is it Grandet?" Ace had a strange expression on his face. This temperament of a profiteer really fits the name.

But Ace really didn't care about the money, and he didn't bother to bargain, so he smiled and said, "I bought it!"

"what?!"

At this moment, Grandet cried out in surprise, and was immediately overjoyed.

"Why, you're not selling it anymore?" Ace joked, seeing Grandet's expression and feeling a little amused.

"Sell, of course sell!"

The money earned from this order can catch up with the previous month, and Grandet immediately planned to help Ace pack it.

"Wait! I offer [-] Baileys!"

But at this moment, a young man wearing a green shirt and black overalls suddenly came from the other side of the street. The strangest thing was that this sentence seemed to come from the mouth of the pigeon on his shoulder.

"what?!!!"

This time, Grandet was not the only one who was shocked.

what is it today?
Fools get together!

Ace also raised his eyebrows, and followed the voice to look over.

"Rob Lucci?" Seeing the iconic pigeon on the boy's shoulder, Ace called out his name at once.

And Lu Qi was called out by Ace's name, and his pupils shrank suddenly. As a member of cp9, he has been performing latent missions all year round. For most people, his real identity is an absolute secret, but today he was directly Broken?
"You know me?" Rob Lucci asked directly, not even thinking about using ventriloquist.

"Oh! You don't care about this! Tell me, why are you bothering me?!" Ace said with a sneer.

An espionage organization like cp9 pays attention to lurking, and will never seek trouble with a stranger for no reason!
So just now Lu Qi came to pick things up on purpose, it must have received some mission, and it was aimed at him.

Seeing that his purpose had been exposed, Lu Qi didn't want to make any more detours, so he said bluntly: "I won't kill you, you just need to be punched by me obediently and lie in the hospital for a few months!"

"Haha!" Ace laughed outright, as unreasonable as ever, "What if I refuse?"

"Then I guess I might not be able to control the weight in my hand. If you accidentally cripple your limbs, it will be bad!" Lu Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone full of confidence in his own strength, and Contempt for Ace.

"Uh... two gentlemen, do you still want to buy it?"

At this time, Grandet's voice came in at an untimely moment, interrupting the conversation between the two.

At this time, Ace also suddenly thought that Rob Lucci was in Gaya at this time, and he certainly wouldn't be specifically to deal with him. If he did it in public, his real mission would probably be ruined.

So Ace said jokingly to him: "I said Lu Qi, I don't think you want to do it here, you want me to fight with you, it's not impossible!"

Lu Qi hesitated, and could only reply:

"Hmph! Say it!"

"Didn't you just want to buy a hat? It's very simple, you pay for me, and I'll go with you!" Ace felt more at ease when he saw the devastated expression on Lu Qi's face.

And Lu Qi was really upset, but he could only snort coldly, and dumped [-] Baileys to Grandet's booth.

"Hey, sir, I'm sorry, what you just said was [-] Berries, not enough!" Grandet's old face had already turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile, but what he said made Lu Qi tremble.

Obviously, the raging anger has been ignited in my heart!

"What? Mr. Lu Qi didn't bring enough money?" Ace stepped in at the right time.

Click, click!
Suddenly, a circle of cobweb-like cracks opened on the bluestone road under Lu Qi's feet!
