Why is Ace always talking to himself?

Smoker, who was knocked to the ground, struggled to get up. Before he could catch his breath, Ace's fatal blow came immediately.

At the moment of death, Smoker thought: "Am I going to end here? I haven't completed the task of capturing Luffy, and I still have justice in my heart. No, I must not die here."

When Ace was about to hit the fatal blow to end Smoker's life, Ai Ye suddenly appeared and stopped Ace's behavior. In Ai Ye's eyes, Smoker was considered a good navy, of course not, mainly if Smoker died here, then the subsequent plot would change, which would go beyond Ai Ye's known plot, and it would be hard to say whether Ace could escape the killing calamity.

Ai Ye: "Ace, don't kill him. Look, there is a sandstorm over there. If I remember correctly, your brother Luffy might be beaten by Crocodile at this time."

Ace immediately stopped the attack: "What, Luffy is in danger, it's the direction of the sandstorm, right? I'll go now."

After that, he immediately transformed into flaming wings and flew towards the sandstorm.

Smoker watched Ace about to hit him: "That fatal blow was 0.01 cm away from my head, but after a quarter of an incense stick, the person who killed me will regret wanting to kill me, because I decided to fight him. Although I have been lazy for half my life, this time I decided to fight him and die heroically..."

At this moment, Smoker awakened the Armament Haki covering his face and closed his eyes to prepare for the impact.

But after waiting for a while, there was no movement.

Smoker opened his eyes and asked in confusion: "Where are the people? Where are the people? I am ready to sacrifice myself. Are you kidding me?"

Dashiki passed by and saw Smoker in a daze, and asked curiously: "Colonel Smoker, what happened to you? Your nose is bleeding."

Smoker wiped the blood from his nose, straightened his clothes, took out two cigars, lit them and started smoking, and said: "Oh, nothing, I was thinking about something just now and accidentally fell. By the way, Dashiki, what happened in this country? I saw a sandstorm suddenly appeared over there."

Dashiki: "It seems It's the Straw Hat Pirates and Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, fighting. "

Smoker: "How's the evidence collection for Crocodile recently?"

Tashigi: "We have initially obtained evidence on Crocodile, and it will take some time to go further."

Smoker thought for a while and said, "Let's prepare for the capture operation."

Tashigi: "But Crocodile is a Seven Warlord of the Sea."

Smoker: "I think he won't be soon."

A few minutes ago, Luffy came to Baroque Studio and had a fight with Crocodile. The battle between the two was thrilling. Luffy relied on the ability of the rubber fruit to continuously attack Crocodile. His fists fell on Crocodile like a storm, but unfortunately the Sand-Sand Fruit is a natural system with the ability of passive naturalization. Luffy has not yet mastered the ability of armed color to attack Crocodile, and the attack can be cleverly avoided and invalidated. Later, Luffy found that water could restrain Crocodile's fruit ability, so he carried a bucket to fight Crocodile. Unfortunately, Crocodile, who had rich combat experience, discovered it and used his Sand-Sand Fruit ability to turn the surrounding environment into a desert, sucking out the water and restricting Luffy's actions. However, Luffy did not retreat. With his tenacious will and combat experience, he gradually found Crocodile's flaws. At the critical moment, Luffy used his blood to use his ultimate move - the rubber rocket launcher, and hit Crocodile hard. This blow hit Crocodile hard, but he did not give up, but fought back more frantically. Luffy was in trouble for a while after releasing the sandstorm with a big move to attack indiscriminately.

After Ace gave up killing Smoker, he immediately rushed to the vicinity of the sandstorm, but the sandstorm was still in shape at this time, and Ace tried several times but failed to enter it.

Ace: "This sandstorm is too powerful. Aiye, do you have any solution?"

Aiye: "The energy of this sandstorm is provided by Crocodile. As long as you interrupt him, you can cut off the energy of the sandstorm. Try to spin the energy like a gyroscope to break the surface. In this direction, Crocodile is here. Be fast, Luffy may not be able to hold on."

Ace: "Okay, I'll try."

Just when Luffy was about to be swept away by the sandstorm, Ace appeared, and the Flame Dragon Drill passed through the sandstorm fist, covered with Armament Color, and knocked Crocodile, who was in the casting state, away with one punch. Although the energy for casting was interrupted, the sandstorm has been formed and it can supply energy by itself, and it still exists at this time.

Ace: "Aiye, what should I do now?"

Aiye:"You can reverse the tornado from the inside and cancel out its energy."

Ace: "Okay, I'll try."

Ace immediately used the Firestorm Anti-Spiral to collide with the sandstorm, and finally canceled out the sandstorm.

Ace came to Luffy's side: "Stupid Luffy, are you okay?"

Luffy's slightly embarrassed look made Ace feel a little distressed.

Luffy saw Ace and immediately laughed: "Hahaha, Ace, you are here, there was such a strong sandstorm just now, I almost got swept away."

Ace: "I just happened to pass by, and I heard you were here, so I came to see."

Crocodile was particularly angry after being knocked away. Since he failed to challenge Whitebeard and disappeared in front of the public to secretly search for the ancient weapon Hades, why are all kinds of people disturbing his great cause now?

The more Crocodile thought about it, the angrier he became, and his lower body turned into yellow sand and flew towards Ace and Luffy.

When Ace and Luffy were happily chatting, an inappropriate voice sounded.

Crocodile: "You are the one who knocked me out? Tell me your name, kid. I won't kill nameless people."

Ace looked back and saw a muscular and burly man who was half a head taller than him. He had a slicked back hair, a long scar on his face, an earring on his right ear, and a cigar in his mouth. He looked like a gangster boss.

Ace: "My name is Ace, Captain of the Second Division of the Whitebeard Pirates. You are the stupid brother who bullied me, right!"

Crocodile: "Whitebeard Pirates? If he came in person, I might be afraid of him. How dare you, a small captain of a small division, speak so arrogantly. In this desert, I am the king"

Ace: "Luffy, find a place to hide yourself, I will teach him a lesson for you."

Luffy: "No, he is my opponent, I have to do it."

Ace: "You just fought a battle and your physical strength is seriously exhausted. You should rest for a while."

Luffy: "If you don't want to, don't. I will go to fight him."

Ace: " Then we'll play rock-paper-scissors to decide the winner. "

Luffy: "Okay"

Luffy: "Rock, paper, scissors, paper"

Ace: "Rock, paper, scissors, paper"

......

Crocodile: "Hey, two brats, are you guys playing or not? I'm very angry. No matter who it is, why don't you all come together."

Luffy: "Rock, paper, scissors, paper"

Ace: "Rock, paper, scissors, scissors"

Ace: "I won, leave this guy to me."

Luffy was like a deflated ball and instantly lost his spirit: "Woo woo woo"

In the blazing desert, Fire Fist Ace and the Lord of the Desert Crocodile had a thrilling duel. Ace was burning with flames, and his eyes were full of determination and determination. Crocodile exuded a cold breath, and his sand power swirled around.

At the beginning of the battle, Ace used his fire skills and launched a fierce attack on Crocodile. The flaming fist streaked across the sky like a meteor, colliding with Crocodile's sand barrier, making a huge roar. Crocodile skillfully used the power of sand to neutralize Ace's attacks one by one, and took the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

However, Ace was not shaken by Crocodile's counterattack. He flexibly dodged the sand attack.

Crocodile: "Sand Storm"

A small sand tornado appeared under Ace's feet, and he was blown up without noticing.

Crocodile: "Crescent Dune"

Seeing that the attack was effective, Crocodile immediately created a crescent-shaped sand dune in front of him, and at the same time rushed forward to attack the enemies in the fan-shaped area.

Ace flew up directly to avoid the attack and rushed towards Crocodile.

Crocodile used himself as bait to assimilate the surrounding area.

Crocodile: "Sand Cage. Erosion Reincarnation"

Ace was trapped in the sand cage and felt that his water was gradually consumed. He immediately used his ability to bomb the desert cage, but it was useless.

Unfortunately, Crocodile forgot the bug of this skill. As long as the user is defeated in the cage, this skill can be broken, otherwise he will be sucked infinitely until he becomes a mummy. But it is normal. In the desert field, the sand-sand fruit is invincible, unless you meet someone stronger than him.

At this time, Ace just fits this category.

At first, Crocodile explained his skill arrogantly. When Ace heard it, it was no wonder that his skill could not destroy the desert cage. Since you said it yourself, I'm sorry.

At the beginning, Crocodile and Ace fought back and forth, but after this fight, he found that he was not as good as the other party. He immediately changed his strategy and began to escape, letting the characteristics of the desert cage consume Ace to death.

You run, I chase, you can't fly.

In the end, Crocodile was caught by Ace and ruthlesslyHe beat him up severely and finally fainted.

Ace: "You are the one who bullied my brother, right? This punch was for Luffy. I told you not to bully my brother."

As Crocodile fell into a coma and the desert cage failed, Ace saw the light of day again.

Ace took the unconscious Crocodile to Luffy and handed him over to him for disposal. The two exchanged a few simple greetings and said that they had something to deal with. After bidding farewell to Luffy, Ace set out on the road to find Blackbeard again.

Ace walked to a deserted place, and felt something in his heart. Looking back, a woman with long black and shiny hair appeared. Her eyes were deep and full of wisdom, giving people a mysterious feeling. The nose was three-dimensional, making the whole face more layered. The lips were beautifully lined and often had a confident smile.

Ace asked in confusion: "Who are you?"

Nicole Robin: "Hello, Fire Fist Ace, I want to join you."

Ai Ye: "This is a pathetic person, "Devil's Child" Nico Robin, who was offered a bounty of 79 million berries at the age of 7 and ate the Psychic Devil Fruit Hana-Hana Fruit. The island where she lived was destroyed by the World Government because of the exploration of the blank century of history. She is the only survivor and has been on the run since she was a child."

Ace: "Then I"

Ai Ye: "She should join your brother's fleet. You are also an unstable factor. Don't think about helping others. Leave it to Luffy."

Ace: "Sorry, I can't agree, but I can give you a suggestion."

Nicole Robin: "Oh, tell me."

Ace: "Straw Hat Pirates."

Nicole Robin: "Straw Hat Pirates?"

After saying that, Ace left. Just as he was about to fly to another island, he suddenly remembered that there was a Deus waiting for him.

Deus: "A-choo, why hasn't Ace come back yet?"

Someone didn't know that he was almost forgotten.

After Crocodile was defeated, Luffy's pirates gathered together to help Princess Weiwei solve the crisis. A hearty rain liberated the desert kingdom.

Luffy and others embarked on a new journey, just like the original trajectory, Nico Robin also boarded Luffy's ship.

Nami: "What do you mean you saw Ace, Luffy, why don't you keep him and let him go with us."

Luffy: "Hahaha, Ace said he had something important to do, so I didn't keep him."

Nami: "Stupid Luffy."

Pah, pah, Luffy had three more bags on his head.

After Crocodile was defeated, Smoker reported the Alabasta incident to the headquarters and took Crocodile to the Deep Sea Prison.

Marineford Naval Headquarters

Warring States: "Assholes, pirates are pirates, and can never be trusted."

Crane: "Our intelligence network is still too poor. If Smoker hadn't discovered it by chance, this country might be gone and we wouldn't even know it."

Warring States: "The funding is far from enough. Both the navy's combat power and the intelligence system need financial support. I have to think of a solution."

Crane: "Thatch, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' Fourth Division, was killed by Blackbeard Marshall Teach, and the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division, Ace, is chasing Blackbeard."

Warring States: " This will reduce the combat power of the Whitebeard Pirates, but why did Blackbeard do this, and what is his purpose? "

Sengoku: "By the way, although the incident in Alabasta was caused by Ace and the Straw Hat Pirates, it cannot be published truthfully in the newspaper. Give all the credit to Smoker and let him take the blame."

Tsuru: "Okay."

The next day's news: Big news, Shichibukai Crocodile intends to plot Alabasta, and is accidentally discovered by Navy Colonel Smoker. He cracked this shocking conspiracy and was promoted to Rear Admiral of the Navy. Crocodile was imprisoned in the Deep Sea Prison.

On a Navy ship

Tasuki: "Congratulations to Rear Admiral Smoker."

Smoker: "Hey, you actually let me take the blame, I don't know if I can do it. "
