The Gourmet in the Pirate

As for the photo frame in Ace's hand, under the high temperature, it was slightly burnt yellow.

Whoosh!

With a whoosh, Maureen pulled the frame from Portgas D. Loujo's photo before it was damaged by Ace. "Hey, boy, what do you want to do? This is the only photo of Lu Jiu in my hand, and it may even be the only photo of Lu Jiu in the world? This photo records the memories of me and Lu Jiu, If this photo is broken, be careful I'm asking you!"

"Ah! Give me back the photo?"

Caught off guard, Ace, who had the photo taken away, jumped up in a hurry.

"Give it back to you? This photo is mine, I just showed it to you, it's not for you!"

Ace snatched it several times, but after being so anxious that he couldn't grab it, he became impatient.

"Ahh! This is my mother's photo, give it to me, give it to me quickly! You villain, even bullying children, are you still human?"

Mo Lin couldn't help but rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

"Hehe, it's just you, still a child? Well, stop shouting. For the sake of you being Lu Jiu's son, I can show you this photo. It's already my mercy. Besides, you can't even I can't control my own flames, if this photo is burned, you will have nowhere to cry."

Chapter 58 Jesus' Bad News

heard here.

Ace's excited mood gradually fell silent.

The family knows their own affairs.

Ace, who just ate the devil fruit, couldn't control the huge energy in his body well.

Just like just now, under the agitation of his mood, he almost set his mother's photo on fire.

If Portgas D. Loujiu's photo was really destroyed in his own hands, Ace would hate himself for the rest of his life.

After thinking for a long time, even the flames on his body were extinguished by Ace.

He raised his head, looked at Mo Lin and said unwillingly: "Hmph, after I can control my abilities, I will definitely get my mother's photo back. Before that, my mother's photo will be stored in your There it is!"

After finishing speaking, Ace added a sentence uneasy, "Don't ruin my mother's photo, or I will be in a hurry with you."

Maureen: "..."

Ace's appearance made Maureen not bother to argue with him.

He lifted Ace's collar with one hand and turned around.

He kicked Ace's ass directly and sent him flying.

"Fuck you, brat!"

Ace, who was kicked out, got up with a grin, and patted his aching buttocks.

But this time, there was not much anger on his face.

Instead, there was an unstoppable smile on his face.

【Hehehe, I finally know what my mother looks like. Mom, wait, I will get your photo back in a short time.I promise. 】

The physical pain couldn't stop Ace's mental excitement at all.

But besides the excitement, Ace couldn't help but a strange thought rose in his heart.

【Strange, that guy, how come there is a picture of his mother, and in the picture, his mother looks so happy, that kind of eyes, just like sister Mary's eyes when she looks at her fiancé. 】

[Since this kind of photo is in the hands of that guy, it means that his mother sent it to him, or he simply took it for his mother. 】

【This look, something is wrong!】

Although Ace is small, he is a big kid, and the precocious Ace is much more precocious than his peers. In addition, Mo Lin's previous performance, looking at his cheap dad is very unpleasant.

But also because of her own mother's strange attitude towards her.

In addition, Mo Lin is young and handsome, and holds a high position, but there is no news of getting married so far.

Ace couldn't help but have a strange and absurd guess in his mind.

Handsome men and beautiful women, and a strange connection across the two sea areas.

Could it be that... between this guy and his mother, there was an unknown past.

Or to put it another way... my cheap daddy is the real third party.

After all, when my father died, he was already 53 years old, so it is not an exaggeration to call him a bad old man.

But his own mother was so young.

There is such a big age difference between the two, no matter how you look at it, they are a bit unsuitable.

If there is a mistake between them, it seems... more reasonable.

I don't know if it was developed from an early age, but I hate my own father, the Pirate King Gol D. Roger.

Ace has always guessed in the worst direction about Roger's various guesses.

【Ahh! If it is really what I guessed, then how will I face that guy next?】

Thinking of this, Ace couldn't help but grabbed his hair crazily!!!

"Little Ace, if you grab it any more, your hair will fall out. If you have any troubles, you can tell my sister!"

When Ace was mad, Taoyao, who happened to be passing by, came over curiously after seeing it.

Originally, Taoyao had always been noncommittal about the existence of Ace, and just treated him as an ordinary second-generation navy.

But in the slums of Rivers Kingdom, Ace used his actions to win Taoyao's respect.

Tao Yao's impression of Ace has changed a lot.

Otherwise, a few days ago, even if she saw Ace's crazy appearance, Taoyao probably wouldn't have watched it much.

Seeing the beautiful big sister coming quickly, Ace, who didn't know who to talk to about his troubles, hesitated for a long time, and still pulled Taoyao, carefully telling Taoyao his guess.

After listening to Ace's guess, a trace of astonishment flashed in the depths of Taoyao's beautiful eyes.

There is also a faint sense of loss.

[A photo that represents a memory? It turns out that he still hides a photo of a woman.No wonder, no wonder I haven't seen him looking for a girlfriend for so many years, so it's like this...] According to the 'information' provided by Ace, as well as my own observations over the years, and some guesses.

Taoyao, who had imagined a big inner drama, seemed to understand something, and looked at the office where Mo Lin was a little disappointed.

But soon, this emotion was hidden by Taoyao.

After hiding her innermost emotions, Tao Yao touched Ace's head with a smile, and said with a smile: "Children don't care about adults' affairs."

"In your little mind, instead of thinking about these messy things, you should think about how to get Colonel Morin to give you your mother's photo!"

"By the way, don't think of some crooked ways. The strength of the colonel is beyond your imagination. If you want to snatch your mother's photo from Colonel Molin, you will have to practice for at least ten years with your small body."

After messing with Ace's hair, Taoyao turned her head and glanced at Mo Lin's office, let out an indiscernible hum from her nasal cavity, and then returned to her room on the ship.

······

the next few days.

Driven by the motivation to prevent his mother's photos from being burned by his own ability, Ace's desire to become stronger is unprecedentedly strong.

In just a few days, he gradually mastered the simple control of the burning fruit ability.

At least he won't cause the flames to leak out because of his emotional fluctuations, and set things around him ablaze.

And every day, this kid would sneak out of Mo Lin's office and take a peek at his mother's photo.

When no one is around, Ace will talk a lot to Portgas D. Loujiu's photo, just like a child talking to his mother.

Of course, all of this was tacitly approved by Maureen, otherwise it would not be so easy for Ace to sneak into his office.

And the smart Ace knows all of this well, and his attitude towards Molin has also improved a lot.

Although he no longer recognized Teacher Mo Lin's identity, he also used the honorific "Mr. Colonel".

On the way back to Navy Branch No. 127, Morin deliberately slowed down the ship.

According to the news channels circulating within the navy, he constantly adjusted his direction and brought Ace to see all kinds of pirates.

Chapter 59 The Red Hair Attacks

These pirates are strong and weak, and have very different personalities.

But their attitudes towards civilians and merchant ships are surprisingly consistent.

Cunning, cruel, greedy.

Facing these most authentic pirates, Morin directly gave them a direct ticket to hell.

After letting Ace see that the pirate he dreamed of was not as free and noble as he thought, Morin did not choose to preach.

Instead, let Ace listen to it and see it by himself.

······

the other side.

When Morin took Ace to hunt down the pirates.

Garp also took his dog-headed warship, crossed the windless belt, and returned to the Navy headquarters.

Navy Headquarters, among Marin Vanduo.

Karp sat in Zhan Guo's office with a big thorn in his face, with his nostrils pressed against Zhan Guo's, his eyebrows raised and his eyes raised.

For an old friend like Karp, Warring States has nothing to do, but he also doesn't want to see a big man pick his nose, he said unhappily: "Stop picking your nose, I didn't ask you to come back to watch you pick your nose."

"Cut!" Kapche said, "Hmph, let me fight Whitebeard, but I don't want to wipe those nasty guys' butts?"

Warring States heard the words and turned their heads and said seriously: "I'm not asking you to wipe those guys' butts, I'm asking you to go to the New World, in order not to let the strong boys of our navy sacrifice more."

"The World Government doesn't have any strongholds in the New World. That bastard Whitebeard is now destroying our navy's strongholds in the New World like crazy. So far, our soldiers have suffered heavy casualties. Our navy can no longer That’s how it’s lost.”

Karp frowned and said, "The matter was provoked by those Tianlong people. Didn't the world government say anything?"

Warring States was silent for a while before he said: "This year's navy military expenses, the world government has sent people over in advance, and it is [-]% more than in previous years. Even the funds that were stuck with us last year have been made up. "

boom!

Karp heard the words, and slapped the coffee table in front of him heavily.

The cups on the coffee table were blown up.

"Bastard, is the life of our navy worth a little military expenditure in the eyes of the world government? We work hard to maintain order at sea for them on weekdays, and they still use military expenditure to block us. What kind of reason is this? "
