Ace and Zangetsu looked at each other for a few seconds, and the atmosphere on the Merry became strange.

From Ace’s perspective, a man with the strength of the Seven Warlords of the Sea was sitting on his brother’s ship, and his strength was much stronger than Luffy. He must be worried.

After all, he was different from Luffy. He had been at sea for two years and had seen too many intrigues and deceptions.

Especially some time ago, his subordinate Blackbeard suddenly exposed his strength and killed his companions for the Dark Dark Fruit. This sudden betrayal made Ace have a strong sense of prevention now.

He boarded Luffy’s ship this time just to see whether his brother’s crew members were reliable.

Among this group of people, his most focused object was naturally Zangetsu.

The strongest, taciturn, aloof, and difficult to understand.

Zangetsu naturally knew Ace’s purpose, but he didn’t like being scrutinized.

If Ace’s behavior was more excessive, he would immediately teach Ace a lesson.

Fortunately, Nami saw the problem.

He immediately interrupted to prevent a possible conflict.

“Ace, what’s the reason for you coming to Alabasta this time?”

Ace immediately adjusted his perspective and turned to look at Luffy, Nami and others who were very interested in this question.

“I have a subordinate named Blackbeard. He made the biggest mistake on the ship and killed his companions for profit.

My purpose of going out to sea is to kill him.”

Hearing the three words Blackbeard, Usopp, who had been with Dalton for a while, suddenly reacted.

“Is it the pirate who attacked the Drum Kingdom?”

“Yes, he is very strong.

Luffy, if you meet him, be careful.”

Hearing Ace’s reminder, Luffy smiled.

“Don’t worry, Ace, we have improved a lot with the help of the remnant moon.

Would you like to spar with me? I’m very powerful now.”

Hearing Luffy’s words, Ace’s expression was calm, but he actually began to think in his heart.

Remnant Moon helped Luffy and others improve their strength?

What’s the purpose? Is it just to help companions?

Let’s observe for a while.

“Oh? You are very confident, Luffy.

But let’s save the competition for next time. Don’t you have something urgent to do?”

Hearing this, Luffy clapped his right fist on his left palm and reacted immediately.

“Yes, we are going to beat Crocodile now.

Eh? Where are Vivi, Duck and Sanji?”

The smart Luffy realized at this moment that there were two people and a duck missing on the ship.

So, everyone explained to him the speculation of the moon and Vivi’s actions.

Luffy frowned and thought for a long time with all his strength.

“Oh, it turns out that Crocodile has an incredible plan.”

Everyone was speechless, “Yes, it is an incredible plan.”

But Luffy’s next reaction surprised everyone.

“Although I don’t understand the plan of that bastard Crocodile.

But one thing is clear, Vivi wants to solve the domestic unrest without sacrifice.

This is impossible. How can such a large-scale war not have casualties?

She must have lost her mind at that time, right? Otherwise, she wouldn’t say the kind of words that only a fool would say.”

Everyone nodded with dull eyes.

I was puzzled. Why could this idiot captain understand Vivi when he couldn’t understand the conspiracy in front of him?

Zangyue shook his head and laughed after hearing it.

At the beginning, he felt that Luffy was a wise guy.

But he should be wrong.

At this moment, Luffy’s performance can only prove that this kid has strong empathy and his own firm values.

He looks careless at ordinary times because things like cheating and sabotage are not important to Luffy.

In Luffy’s eyes, he thinks his companions can accept his behavior.

Without breaking the bottom line of his companions, it does create a lot of fun.

But once a companion does something that hurts himself, and it is inconsistent with Luffy’s behavior pattern, that is, values.

Luffy’s emotional intelligence is revealed.

This is the case at this moment. He empathizes with Vivi’s feelings at that time.

Luffy is sure that Vivi is going to die.

So, the captain began to speak.

“Vivi definitely went there with the belief that she will die.

This silly Vivi, who doesn’t want to implicate us, only wants to sacrifice herself to save the country.

Does she regard us as companions?”

When it comes to the last sentence, Luffy basically yelled it out.

These three simple sentences immediately made everyone understand Vivi’s abnormal behavior.

As a princess of a country, Vivi would not have thought that there was danger.

It’s just that [no one sacrificed] is too important to Vivi.

In her eyes, the rebels are not wrong, and the king’s army is not wrong.

WhyIf she wants to [pass the game without any damage], she will sacrifice herself.

She wants to [pass the game without any damage] so much.

She would rather sacrifice herself than do it.

Luffy’s sudden cleverness made everyone excited and smiled.

Valentine’s Day Mitchita and Bomberman Jem looked at Luffy in disbelief.

Is this still the stupid captain?

At first, the two who were obsessed with Cangyue felt unfair for Cangyue.

Why did such a powerful Cangyue follow such a stupid captain.

At this moment, the two seemed to understand a little.

Zangyue looked at Luffy and couldn’t help but recall some things.

It was not long after leaving Shields Town.

Zoro took advantage of Luffy’s sleep and asked Cangyue a question.

“You are so much stronger than us, why do you recognize Luffy as the captain.”

Zangyue didn’t explain at that time.

If you have to let Cangyue explain his behavior of joining the Straw Hat Pirates.

So at the beginning, it was to successfully complete the One Piece event to improve integration and enhance strength.

As the time spent together increased, he felt the sincerity and enthusiasm of each crew member.

Especially Luffy, this guy who can do anything for his companions touched Cangyue’s cold heart.

Luffy, who is close to adulthood, is a naive and kind silly boy.

He created a lot of fun and warmth for Cangyue along the way.

Although Cangyue didn’t want to admit it, up to now, he has regarded all the members of the Straw Hat Pirates as his own.

Except for Mickey and Jem, these two are not pure.

Recalling the impression of the Inuyasha plot.

Wasn’t the cold and human-hating Seshomaru moved by the naive and kind Ling?

But just thinking of this, Cangyue felt goose bumps all over his body.

‘I’m not Seshomaru, and Luffy won’t be Ling. The analogy just now is too disgusting’

Thoughts pulled back.

Unexpectedly, Zangetsu asked Luffy about his plan first.

“Captain, make a decision.”

Hearing Zangetsu’s words, Luffy pursed his lips and frowned, as if he began to think.

“First, I have to defeat Crocodile.

As for Vivi.

…Well…what should I do? I want to protect Vivi.

Then I want to help her stop the war…

EMM…so annoying, I can’t think of a solution.”

“Puff~”

Nami and Usopp burst out laughing first.

The guy who looked so smart just now turned back to this stupid look.

Zoro shook his head helplessly, and then looked at Zangetsu.

“We already know what the captain means.

Zangetsu, do you have any good plans?”

At this time, everyone turned their eyes to Zangetsu behind them.

Xiuxi turned his head first, and he rubbed his puppy eyes.

“What’s going on? Master just smiled in front of so many people?”

What he got in return was Cangyue’s gloomy expression and 25 consecutive lashes of the Time Whip.

Finally, Xiuxiu, a little dog with a pig face, began to convey Cangyue’s plan.

“Wu~dilue de Ren Neimeng~ (inferior humans)”

[Pah! ]

“Speak properly.”

Xiuxiu could only use his demonic power to repair his swollen face.

Then he began to tell the story.

“The master suggested that he and Luffy go to find Crocodile together.

Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Chopper and my Lord Xiu Xiu, go together to stop Crocodile’s plan for the King’s Army.

The tool man stays on the ship or chooses for himself.

Of course, it would be best if Luffy’s brother could help Nami and the others.”

“We will discuss the specific details when we set off.

It will be changed according to the situation observed on the spot.

But I have to add that if we find Crocodile in the capital, we must immediately contact the master with Den Den Mushi.”

A few simple words made Ace, who was standing aside, smile with relief.

The plan given by Zang Yue perfectly took care of Luffy’s ideas.

In his opinion, although Luffy was not involved in the battle plan, of course it would be useless for this kid to participate.

But the core of the entire battle plan was Luffy’s requirements.

Even if Luffy’s idea was not the best solution for this pirate group.

After all, it was the best solution for all crew members for the whole group to solve Crocodile together.

Safe, able to help each other, and high success rate.

But his companions will still obey the captain’s request.

Before meeting Luffy’s companions, Ace was most worried that Luffy would be used by his so-called companions.

But looking at the current situation. This group of people recognized their stupid brother from the bottom of their hearts.

Thinking of this, Ace’s anxiety disappeared.

“Luffy, you met a group of veryGood companion. ”

After saying this, Ace took off his hat and put it on his chest, and spoke to Cangyue.

“Cangyue, I looked a little too much after boarding the ship, I apologize to you.”

Cangyue looked calm.

“It’s okay.”

Then, everyone set sail and prepared to implement the combat plan.

While everyone was busy.

Luffy, who was sitting at the bow, suddenly showed a relieved smile.

‘Ace, I’m very happy that you can recognize my companion.’
