Pirate: Luffy's younger sister, Marshal of the Navy

Whitebeard's field.

Evening.

A black-haired man sat on the bow of the boat quietly blowing the sea breeze, looking into the depths of the island in a daze.

It was also here that he took the little mud to walk around the town inside, and although the day was very dull and nothing interesting even happened, it was still fresh in Ace's memory.

Maybe it was the first time he brought Little Mud to his place of life, and he felt very happy.

It's strange to say, it seems that as long as she is around, her mood will become very good.

It was also on this beach in front of him that Ace witnessed the fox's tail in the moonlight.

However, it seems that there are more important things that he has forgotten.

Can't even think about it.

Recalling the past, Ace couldn't help but hang his head, and his expression became sad.

And behind him, the good brothers who have suffered together this year, are eating meat and drinking, singing and dancing, partying, celebrating Ace becoming the Four Emperors.

Marko looked at the somewhat dejected back of the bow, which seemed out of place in the lively atmosphere.

He picked up a bottle of wine, jumped on the bow of the boat, and sat down next to Ace.

He asked, "Why are you hiding here alone in the celebration banquet that everyone gave you?" Saying

that, he also bumped the other party with his elbow.

Ace chose to keep his mouth shut, picked up the bottle and poured it on himself.

A year ago, he thought Shanks had successfully stopped the Red Dog's attack on the orc fox.

Unexpectedly, it was just a picture he saw alone.

It's different from what everyone sees.

Everyone said that the orc fox was hit by the red dog's big move and killed on the spot.

Even Shanks said it was late when he arrived.

At that moment, Ace knew that he had been deceived by the illusion.

He didn't understand why Little Mud was willing to lay down his life to save him.

Did their friendship come to that?

All along, it has been his and Luffy's "wishful thinking".

Little mud always had a distance from them.

How could such a person .......?

And he thought so thoughtfully, not hesitating to create a false impression so that he could leave with peace of mind.

Little Mud must have known that if something happened to her, he wouldn't leave alone.

Which problem should the navy worry about pirates?

It's more like a friend or family member you've known for a long time.

Ace had too many questions to ask her.

He desperately wanted to know the answer.

He didn't believe that Little Mud was dead like that.

But this year, no news was found about her, and even the navy did not know whether the little mud was dead or alive.

Once, Ace finally seized the opportunity to block Karp, but the other party didn't say anything, just told him to do what he had to do, and stop inquiring.

And tell him: "If you want to protect important people, you have to find a way to become stronger, entangled in the past is useless, what the future is, is what you should consider." Ace

understood that he didn't want to be caught in prison again, he had to improve his strength, not live up to the life-saving grace of Little Mud, Luffy, and Daddy, and couldn't let his companions die in vain.

And he wants to take back everything he lost!

So he practiced hard and returned strong.

Caught the BIG MOM Pirates off guard.

But it seems, but not as happy as expected.

He always felt as if he had lost more.

"Marko, send some more people to keep an eye on the navy."

Ace said lightly, his gaze always fixed on the depths of the island.

"Haven't given up yet?"

"It was not published in the newspapers, she was definitely not dead, she was definitely alive."

"Have you forgotten that female navy officer stopped Luffy from saving you? Why are you still thinking about her? "

Marko didn't know that the orc fox and Sheeny Gusi were one and the same.

But Ace knows: "A lot of things, you can't just look at the surface. "

“..... You're really incurable. The

two were silent for a while.

Marko asked, "What's next?"

"Let's take one step at a time, wait for Luffy's kid to finish his practice, meet and reminisce."

After Law rescued Luffy, the female emperor Han Cook took him to the kingdom of his daughter.

He is now cultivating with Reilly.

Because Luffy also seems to realize that he is too weak, with his current ability, he can't survive in the New World at all.

The two brothers had a tacit choice and disappeared for a while.

It's just that Ace is improving faster.

"Then it will take another year, what I said is that you led us to take revenge, and now you have become the Four Emperors, do you want to set up your own pirate group?"

Ace hesitated, Marko knew what he was thinking, and persuaded: "Daddy is no longer there, let's not break into the world under his banner, even if it is miserable in the future, it will not ruin Daddy's reputation."

"And everyone agrees that you should be the captain, and the new captain should have a new name."

"Even if the name changes, we are still Daddy's sons, and that will never change."

"I'll think about it."

As soon as Ace finished speaking, he heard someone behind him call them: "Ace, Marko, what are you two talking about?" Hurry down and drink~! "

Just come."

Marco patted Ace's shoulder: "Think about it, don't be in a hurry." Then

he got up and jumped.

This night, everyone drank a lot, and they hadn't been so happy for a long time.

In the dead of night, nurse Xiaoli took advantage of the wine to stop Ace, who was about to go back to the room: "Stop, stop, hey, Ace, I have something to tell you."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm sleepy."

Saying that, he walked around Xiaoli, and when he passed by, he was grabbed by the other party's arm, Xiaoli blushed, and plucked up the courage to say: "I like you!"

"I know it's inappropriate to say this now, since the captain died, you may have your own new plans and new goals, and you may not have the heart to think about these boring things, but I just want to tell you that I like you, I will be by your side whenever you need me, and I am willing to wait for the day when you fulfill your ideal ambitions..."

This sudden confession made him a little stunned.

Recalling the time when he lost his father, lost his home, and hidden, Xiaoli took care of and accompanied him in every way.

When hungry and tired, there are delicious meals to eat, and when discouraged, someone cheers you up to comfort and encourage.

Although she was grateful for what she had been doing, Ace withdrew her arm from the woman's hand.

"Sorry Xiaoli, I can't like you, don't wait for me."
