Pirate: My partner is too crooked

Chapter 7 Ace, Sabo

"I didn't want to do anything. I just felt the smell of gold, silver and jewelry here. Come and take a look."

Lin Zhi's eyes were calm, and he was not surprised at all by the appearance of Essab in front of him.

"Go!"

The moment he finished speaking, Ace, who was already well prepared, rushed up with the steel water pipe in hand without saying a word.

The treasure in the tree trunk is the wealth he and Sabo have accumulated for more than two years to prepare for future sailing adventures. Any factors that may pose a threat must be eliminated!

"Understood!" Sabo followed closely.

Scrambling around in an uncertain terminal with a harsh environment and roaming thugs has made them decisive and brave far beyond children of the same age.

Although they were little kids, the two of them were very fast, and they rushed in front of Lin Zhi in just a few breaths.

They cooperated very well, one on the left and the other on the right blocking Lin Zhi's attack route. As long as one of them was counterattacked, the attack of the other could hit the enemy!
However, what they never expected was that the unknown man opposite him not only did not attack or retreat, but instead actively opened his arms, showing an arrogant attitude that did not take them seriously!
Boom!

Two dull sounds came out. Ace jumped up and hit Lin Zhi's forehead with a water pipe, while Sabo, who was mainly attacking the bottom plate, knocked Lin Zhi's right leg.

"Is this all you two can do?"

Lin Zhi, who had received two blows, still maintained his original posture, expressionless, and looked at the wide-eyed Essab with a joking look.

At the moment of the fight, Essab and the two realized that the enemy in front of them was quite difficult.

After looking at each other, the two of them retreated at an extremely fast speed and retreated to their original positions.

When Lin Zhi saw this, the tense nerves all over his body relaxed, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Damn it hurts!Doesn’t it mean that the body’s defense power is greatly increased?Why is your head buzzing?

Is this really the strength a kid of what age should have? !
If Essab, who is facing a powerful enemy, knows his true feelings deep in his heart at this time, the scene will definitely be quite exciting!
"To be honest, I do know that you have a lot of gold and silver jewelry hidden here."

Lin Zhifeng scratched his head lightly and looked at the two people opposite to show off their cards, "But you don't need to be too nervous."

When the secret of the hidden treasure was revealed, Essab's heart trembled and he looked incredibly shocked.

After all, he is still a child, and all his thoughts are written on his face. Unlike a mature adult like Lin Zhi, who knows how to hide the throbbing pain in his forehead with a smile.

"Although I have the ability to kill you in an instant, rather than solving the problem with rough means, I would rather talk about cooperation with you."

The world of pirates has always been about reasoning with fists. This is the fundamental reason why Lin Zhi allowed the water pipe stick to attack him and showed his strength.

Of course, he also wanted to test what level his current defense power was.

The results were actually not bad.

After all, Ace Sabo at this period actually had the power to defeat large beasts!
"Stop joking around! You self-righteous guys, if you want to rob the treasure, just come right over here!"

Ace tightly grasped the steel pipe with an elbow in his hand, showing no intention of flinching. "Going to sea is my dream. No matter what enemy I need to face, I will never run away!"

All he heard since he was a child were the taunts and abuses about his bastard father, the Pirate King Roger. Over time, he developed a withdrawn character who didn't trust others.

Because of this, Ace is extremely eager to go to sea, make his own name on the sea, and completely get rid of the shadow of Gol D. Roger!
Sabo, who had originally thought about retreating temporarily, saw this and gritted his teeth and took a step forward, ready to fight the powerful enemy in front of him to the end.

"It turns out that your dream is to save money and go to sea, so it is even more necessary to cooperate with me." Lin Zhi smiled calmly.

I was just worried about how to convince you, but I didn't expect to be so considerate and take the initiative to tell you the reason.After a brief thought, he raised his head and looked at the nervous Essab, and said loudly: "I think you must have misunderstood something. I am not one of those vicious people, I am just the owner of an ordinary restaurant in Windmill Village."

"Recently, my restaurant has had some funding problems and needs to be replenished. If you are willing, you can invest some money and the three of us will share the money equally."

Seeing the puzzled expressions on both of them, Lin Zhi continued to confuse, "Compared to carefully saving money in a harsh environment, this way of making sure money without losing money is much safer and easier."

His words caused the two of them to fall into silence for a while.

"What should we do Ace? If that guy isn't lying, there seems to be no harm to us." Sabo leaned close to Ace and whispered.

"It's very suspicious. He can obviously rob us directly, so why does he need to go to such trouble?"

Little Ace frowned and couldn't help but think of the adults who couldn't help but laugh and ridicule whenever he mentioned going to sea.

Looking at the guy in front of me who was always smiling, the suspicion in my heart became even deeper.

"You have no reason to believe in our idea of ​​going to sea. You guys really just take a fancy to our treasure!"

Ace, who was firm in his thoughts, asked Lin Zhi sharply.

The result was just as he thought. After the "lie" was exposed by him, the other party gradually stopped smiling at the corner of his mouth, and his true and ugly face was about to be revealed.

however……

"Stop looking down on others! Do you think I should question and ridicule two men who are working hard for their dreams?!"

Lin Zhi had a serious look on his face, not at all as angry as Ace had imagined.

The short and sullen words directly broke the guard of Ace and Sabo.

No adult has ever stood on an equal footing to affirm their dreams.

From beginning to end, all they faced were sarcastic jokes, and only sarcastic jokes.

And now, this powerful monster in front of them, who was unable to feel anything despite their all-out blows, actually called them "men" instead of little brats!

"You guy, what on earth do you want to do!"

Ace raised his head high and roared loudly to prevent the tears in his eyes from forming into tears.

"Didn't I just say that I want to cooperate with you." Lin Zhi said slowly.

After that affirmation, the exact same words fell into Essab's ears, but a qualitative change occurred.

Their eyes flickered, and they stood in tangle.

"If you still don't believe it, you can follow me to Windmill Village to check out the restaurant situation, and then make a decision before it's too late."

Lin Zhi proposed a compromise plan.

Ace and Sabo, who were still basically wary, looked at each other and thought this was a good idea.

So, as the eldest brother, Ace took the lead in putting away the steel water pipe in his hand and stepped forward to make a compromise.

"Well, let's trust you for the time being and go to Windmill Village to have a look!"
