One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

Looking at Ace in front of her, An helplessly spread her hands.

"Anyone with a little bit of vision can see that you can't defeat me now."

"Stop talking nonsense." Ace hit him with a water pipe.

Snap!

The water pipe was caught in An's hand.

Ann continued: "But you insist on challenging me. As a sister, I will give you a chance to challenge me."

"Shut up, you are not my sister!"

Seeing Ace's angry look, An Xin thought, "There is a long way to go before Ace recognizes me as my sister."

Ignoring Ace's anger, An continued: "In three months, I accept your challenge.

"But I also have a condition."

If I win, you will call me sister from now on.

"I disagree, Ace quickly retorted."

"Don't refuse in a hurry, listen to my conditions."

"If I lose, I will give you 1 million Baileys."

"One million Baileys!"

Hearing such a huge amount, Ace felt a little hesitant.

Ace hesitated in front of him, and An was ready to add more fire.

"With 1 million beli, you can buy a boat, leave this island, and live the life you want."

Ann knew exactly what Ace wanted.

"Okay, I promise you!"

The thought of leaving here and going to sea to become a pirate lit a fire in Ace's cold heart.

Looking at An with burning eyes, "As long as we defeat her, Sabo and I can go find the life we ​​want."

"Listen to the excitement in Ace's tone."

An An understood clearly, "When Ace was a child, it was because of other people's hatred for his father, the Pirate King Gol D. Roger."

"The curse on him, the son of the devil, made Ace have huge doubts about his own birth."

"He thinks he is an existence that is not recognized by the world."

"That's why Ace wants to become a world-famous pirate and be recognized by others."

"Let's make a promise!"

Ann held out a fist towards Ace.

Ace looked at the fist in front of him, thought of 1 million Baileys again, stretched out his fist and touched An.

The moment the fists collided, Ace felt a different emotion in his heart.

"Then the agreement has been reached and no cheating is allowed."

Withdrawing his fist, Ace prepared to go to the Uncertainty Transfer Station.

He wanted to tell Sabo the good news and ask Sabo to help him improve his strength.

"Hey! My name is Luffy. I'm not angry anymore about you not telling me my name just now. Let's be friends!"

Luffy remembered Garp's advice.

He waved to Ace and wanted to be friends with him.

Ann looked at Luffy's behavior and couldn't help but sigh that even if there was no spitting incident, the two would still interact.

"This is my brother Luffy, don't underestimate him, he is also quite strong."

Ace turned around and stared at Luffy, he hated this brat.

He stretched out his legs to knock down the tree next to him and ran towards the forest.

Luffy didn't notice Ace's threat at all and just chased Ace.

The two troubled teenagers finally left, and now I should be busy with my own affairs.

…

The top of a certain mountain in Monte Colpo.

Ann looked around at the situation.

Let's go here. The terrain is higher, there is a water source nearby, and you can directly see the port of Windmill Village.

The next step is to clear out an open space.

Lanjiao...

Huge wind blades flew past, and a large open space immediately opened up on the top of the mountain.

As for the wood chopped off by Lan Jie, it was neatly placed nearby.

The amount of open space and wood are about the same.

"We'll be here today. Dadan and the others can start work in two days."

House of bandits.

Near noon, An dropped a huge wild boar at the door to the surprised eyes of everyone in Dadan.

This is Luffy and Ace's food for today, take it and take care of it.

Feel the remaining aura in Daoan.

Magula hurriedly led some bandits to carry the wild boar down.

Seeing Magula's nervous movements, An helplessly shook his head.

Am I so terrible?

What An didn't know was that Dadan's family status had plummeted since An had punched the pillar in the morning.

Now all the bandits in the bandit family know that they don't have to listen to Dadan, but they absolutely cannot disobey Miss An.

"They are not afraid of Garp because Garp is far away."

"I'm afraid of Ann because she's so close!"

He ignored the bandits' fear.

An asked Dogura: "Are Ace and Luffy back?"

"No!"

"You prepare the food first, and I'll go find them."

Ann stood up and walked to the door.

When An's figure disappeared from sight, Dadan and others breathed a sigh of relief.

…

Uncertain transfer station.

The garbage station outside the Kingdom of Goa is home to the poor and gangsters who were driven out of the Kingdom's town. Various vicious events occur here every day.

Because of An, Ace did not throw Luffy down the valley this time.

Ren and Luffy followed him to his and Sabo's secret base.

"Isn't Sabo back yet?"

"Hey! Ace, be friends with me!"

"Annoying guy, why do you keep following me."

"I want to be your friend! Luffy makes a cute noise."

"Don't you have a sister? Why are you still friends with me?"

"I just want to be friends with you, Luffy said stubbornly."

"Okay, since you want to be friends with me so much, then defeat me."

"As long as you win, we will be good friends."

"If you lose, get out of here."

"Really? You promised to be friends with me."

Idiot, beat me first, then I'll talk. After saying that, Ace rushed towards Luffy.

With just one blow, Luffy was knocked to the ground.

"So weak! It seems that we can't be friends."

Wait, I'm still okay. Luffy slowly stood up from the ground.

Then Ace hit Luffy with another stick and sent him flying again.

Just as Ace was about to mock Luffy for overestimating his own abilities, Luffy stood up again in the distance.

Shouted: "Ace, I want to be friends with you."

Ace hit Luffy with another stick with an expressionless face. The strong force made Luffy roll on the ground for several rounds before stopping.

"Do you still want to be friends with me now?"

Ace laughed at Luffy who was lying on the ground.

I'm still okay, a weak voice came out from Luffy's mouth, and his small body slowly stood up.

For Luffy, who had not eaten the rubber fruit yet, Ace's several attacks just now caused him great damage.

Seeing Luffy's actions, Ace's anger became even worse, and he shouted.

"You idiot who knows nothing, do you know who I am? You will die if you make friends with me!"

"Even if I die, I want to be friends with Ace."

"Then you go to die!"

Ace used all his strength and hit Luffy with a stick.

Bang!

A violent collision sound was heard.

Luffy fell heavily to the ground and did not get up again, and the big tree behind him made a rustling sound.

It's finally over.

"Not yet..."

I'm still okay, Luffy stood up with the help of the big tree.

The little face covered with blood was full of determination, and he still said, "Ace, I want to be friends with you."

Looking at Luffy who stood up, Ace was not moved, but only disgusted.

"Why do you have to stand up? Isn't it better to just lie down?"

"There are many people like me in this world, why do you have to be friends with me!!"

Ace said to Luffy angrily.

I don't care!

Luffy said in a self-centered voice: "Because you are Ace, you are the only Ace in the world, the Ace I want to make friends with, and I want Ace to be my friend even if I die."

Listening to Luffy's inner monologue, Ace stared at Luffy, and a warm feeling rose from his heart.

Since he could remember, all Ace heard and saw was other people's disgust for the son of the Pirate King.

No one has ever thought that he is unique like Luffy.

Ace put away his anger and asked in a calm tone: "Luffy, if I am a person hated by everyone and everyone thinks I deserve to die, do you still want to be friends with me?"

"Stop making noises!"

Luffy clenched his fists and shouted at Ace.

Didn't I say, "Even if I die, I will be friends with you, Ace. Even if I die tomorrow, I will be friends with you today."

"I don't care who hates Ace. If someone bullies Ace, I will definitely beat him up."

Destiny is sometimes magical. No matter how tangled the thread is, it can be sorted out.

"Then take my last blow. If you survive, we will be good friends forever."

Luffy patted his chest and said confidently, "Come on, I will definitely survive."

Ace swung a seemingly powerful but actually gentle blow at Luffy.

Bang!

A slight sound sounded.

A moment later.

Luffy found himself still standing there.

Cheered happily, "I did it, I did it."

"Ace, we are good friends from today!"

Ace looked at Luffy gently.

Bang!

Luffy lost consciousness and fell to the ground

"Luffy!!"
