Pirate: I talk about the world in the sea

Chapter 191: This bow...loyalty and courage! (Please subscribe)

Cronus stood on the beach of Marshall Village and watched his brothers move some furniture from Luju's cabin onto the Oro Jackson.

Originally, Kronos told Lujiu that he only needed to bring a few necessities. Anyway, his family now has a big business and there is no shortage of everything on Ionia. Lujiu and Ace can just go and check in with their bags.

It's a pity that Lujiu is a nostalgic person, and Cronus, who couldn't resist her, had no choice but to let her go.

At this moment, Cronus's eldest son Marshall D. Ace flew towards Cronus wearing a suit of brown mammoth fur and a string of white ivory beads hanging around his neck.

The furs and ivory beads were the meeting gifts given to Ace by Cronus. Ace was very happy after receiving these two SR-level accessories. Coupled with the three famous swords on his waist, it looked simply... He's just so handsome.

It's just that behind Ace's glamor is the bloody persecution suffered by a certain poor elephant.

Therefore, if there is no business, there will be no... Bah, don't wander around outside before you have absolute strength, otherwise you will be easily exploited!
"Ace, do you have anything to do with dad?"

Cronus nodded with satisfaction as he looked at his son's current appearance. He looked much more pleasing to the eye now. As his son, Marshall D. Cronus, how could he wear those monotonous T-shirts every day?

Sure enough, when it comes to men's clothing, I am YYDS.

Just look at his outfit; Roger's captain's hat, Rocks' cloak... they are all custom-made, the only ones in the sea.

Even Kronos has thought about it. If there is a chance in the future, he plans to collect some more SSR-level accessories, such as: Whitebeard Edward Newgate's Congyunqi, Kaido's wine gourd, Xia Zeus and Prometheus by Lot Lingling, and the Shredded Document Goat from Warring States Period...

Thinking about it this way, Cronus seems to be a bit of a collector!
"Dad, we are leaving soon, right?"

Ace scratched his head after falling to the ground and asked his father.

"That's right. Once these guys load everything on the ship, we can go back to the new world!"

Cronus put his arm around Ace's slightly immature shoulders and pointed at the younger members of the Titan Pirates who were moving things to the ship.

"Then dad, can you wait for me for a while? I want to say goodbye to the master."

"Master? Oh, you're talking about that guy Shi Ji, I heard Boss Lei Li say that he was cremated by you and his ashes were thrown into the sea?"

"Well, Luffy and I tore down our secret base and built a tomb for our master."

Seeing Ace with such an innocent heart, even though Shiki had had a series of disputes with him before, Cronus still greatly praised Ace's behavior.

Look, what is teaching by words and deeds? It is precisely because of having such a great father who leads by example and has high moral character that Ace, the son, has become so outstanding now.

That's the power of example!

My son Ace, Yingguo is like me!

Hey, it seems that when Captain Roger died, he, Shanks, and Bucky didn't even collect the bodies from him...

As an excellent father, how could he let his well-behaved son down?What's more, Ace's request couldn't be more trivial.

"Ace, daddy, please come with me. After all, this old guy Shiji taught you everything. For this, I will be grateful to him forever!"

(Shi Ji: All my skills have been wasted by your son. If you don’t appreciate me anymore, believe it or not, I will drag you down to accompany me and Roger)

"Thank you dad, dad is the best!"

"Thank you! Who among us is following whom?"

Ace jumped up excitedly when he heard Cronus agreed. He felt that he was very happy. Compared with many orphans, he had a happy family, a gentle and considerate mother and someone who could put down his body and accompany him. Playing father.

With parents like this, what more can a child ask for!
[Author: Well, Ace, is it possible that Cronus can put down his body and play with you not because he loves you so much, but because... he is still a child under 20 years old himself? 】

[Cronus: Dog author, shut up!It's obviously love, are you going to ruin my dream of being an excellent father? 】

........................

Kronos and Ace walked together to the cenotaph that he and Luffy had given to Skyri.

He followed Ace slowly, looking around. The bushes and thorns blocking the road on both sides had been completely shoveled away, leaving only a small section of roots exposed to the soil. The path under his feet had been trampled extremely hard.

Judging from these two points alone, Ace must often run here.

Cronus was very pleased with Ace who respected his teacher and respected his principles. He thought that Cronus was always known for his unparalleled benevolence and righteousness on the sea.

Now his excellent character has been perfectly inherited by his son.

The father is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, and the son respects his teacher.

My way is not alone, my way is not alone!

While Cronus was thinking wildly in his mind, the father and son had already arrived in front of Shiji's tomb.

It turned out that this was a tree house built by Jabba and Rayleigh for Ace and Luffy, but after Shiki's death, Ace used the power of the Fluttering Fruit to shovel away the tree house and transform it into a cenotaph.

Shiji spent most of his last years in the treehouse, so it is fitting that this place should be turned into Shiji's cenotaph.

Cronus looked at the cross tombstone in front of him. The style of the tombstone was the same as the others. The only unique thing was that there was a blood-stained wooden rudder inserted at the top of the tombstone.

Cronus recognized at a glance that the rudder was definitely the one stuck on Shiki's head.

"Ace."

"What's the matter, father?"

"Isn't it a little bad for you to stick this rudder on the tombstone?"

Cronus felt that his son was a bit careless. Shiki's life was basically ruined by this rudder. In the end, he was finally able to escape after death, but his son put the rudder back on him. On top of the tombstone.

There was nothing that could be done about Shi Ji being cremated. If he was buried, he would probably have to fake his corpse and give Ace a slap in the face.

"Dad, I can't help it. This is the only thing left by the master."

Ace was also helpless about this. He originally wanted to put some of his master's iconic items on the tombstone, but unfortunately he was busy cremating his master and forgot to take off some of his clothes.

By the time Ace thought about it, Shiji's ashes had probably been eaten by the fish in the sea.

Finding nothing, Ace could only re-insert the rudder that Shiji had removed before his death to his tombstone.

"Okay, since everyone is gone, just do it."

After hearing this, Cronus had nothing to say. Ace could do whatever he wanted. He was not his master anyway.

After Ace finished explaining to his father, he squatted down in front of the tomb and placed a bunch of white flowers that he had prepared before arriving in front of Shiji's tombstone.

"Master, I will go to the new world with my dad in a moment. After seeing you this time, I probably won't come here for a long time,"

Ace stroked the rough tombstone, just as Shiji used his rough hands to rub his little face. "But don't worry, Master, I will not let you down. When I grow up, I will make the name of Piao Piao Fruit and Golden Lion resound across the sea again! Edward Newgate and Kaido owe you my future We must bring them back!”

After Ace said this, he knelt on the ground respectfully and kowtowed three times.

Cronus felt pain just hearing the banging and kowtowing sound.

Watching Ace kowtow to Shiki, Cronus couldn't help but sing:
"This bow...loyalty and courage..."

"Dad, what are you singing?"

"It's okay, it's okay. It's just something I feel."

After kowtowing to Shiji, Ace walked aside to make way for Cronus. He was his son's master, so Cronus had to express his gratitude.

"Sky!"

After Cronus approached the tombstone, he held the tombstone with one hand, used magic to find a bottle of good wine with the other hand, and bit open the oak cork with his mouth with a 'pop' sound.

"We've known each other for a long time. I think you were the one I fought against when I debuted."

Cronus said as he poured the wine on the ground in front of the tombstone.

"I still remember how powerful your pirate group was at that time. Dozens of pirate ships were chasing our Roger Pirates. My Devil Fruit was also obtained by cleaning up the battlefield after fighting you."

"Later, during the Battle of Ed Waugh, you lost most of your family's fortune because of the seaspout I set off, and you also had a rudder stuck on your head."

After all, Cronus didn't listen, and the wine continued to pour down.

"Later, Captain Roger surrendered to the Navy. You were the only fool who was stupid enough to go to the Navy Headquarters single-handedly to ask them to hand over Captain Roger. With that old gangster Garp and Uncle Warring States around, you were also really stupid. Dare."

"When you finally escape from Impel Down and your legs are gone again, when you think about it, Captain Roger and I are really at odds with you!"

Cronus poured the last of the wine on the ground, and threw the empty bottle far away with a raised hand.

"Although your death is not directly related to me, I am still a little embarrassed to have tricked you for so many years. What's more, you taught all your skills to my son. For this reason, I still have to thank you. .”

Cronus patted Shiji's tombstone and was about to leave, but when he turned his head, he seemed to remember something. He turned around and continued to talk to Shiji's tombstone:
"Oh, by the way, if you want to ask for a dream later, remember to ask for Ace. Don't ask for me. I'm not familiar with you."

Cronus said and pointed at Ace beside him.

"Okay, there's nothing else to do. I'll see you later. Ace, let's go!"

After saying the last words, Cronus took Ace's little hand and walked back.

…………

On the way back, Cronus looked at Ace's hesitant look and asked curiously.

"Ace, what's wrong? I think you seem to be holding something back."

"Dad, if we go back to the new world, what will happen to that idiot Luffy?"

When Ace said this, Kronos instantly understood that his cheap son wanted Luffy to go with him.

In fact, even if Ace didn't say anything, Kronos still had to take Luffy away.

On the one hand, Luffy is the son of Dorag, and his best friend is helping him with his career outside. Of course, his son has to take care of it himself. Who on the sea doesn't know that Cronus is famous for being able to trust his wife and children? man.

On the other hand, Luffy is the grandson of Monkey D. Garp, who has the highest level of combat power. With Luffy in his hands, to a certain extent, he is holding his grandson hostage to control his grandfather!

He didn't believe that Garp would not care about his grandson's personal safety.

Although he and the navy are getting along relatively well now, who can say for sure what will happen in the future. What if, like in the anime, Uncle Sengoku retires in the future and Akainu, a guy who doesn't take hard work, takes over.

If he loses his mind one day and wants to mess with him, Kronos will send Luffy to defend Akainu.

If Akainu doesn't mess with Luffy, he can't mess with himself. If he dares to mess with Luffy, he will die the next day from being punched in the back one hundred and eighty times, and the cause of death is suicide.

So he must take Luffy, the little guy who eats everything, away. But thinking so, looking at Ace's cute look, Cronus decided to tease his good son.

"Uh, Luffy, of course he sent someone back to his grandfather. That old guy Garp asked me to help him raise his grandson for so long, and he hasn't paid me a pele so far. This kid is just a Lose money!"

Sure enough, after hearing Cronus's arrangements for Luffy, Ashton became anxious and quickly defended Luffy:

"It's not like Luffy eats a lot. His living expenses can be taken care of by his grandfather in the future!"

"What's wrong, you can't bear to leave Luffy?"

"No, no, who would be reluctant to let go of that little fool? I just think it would be too troublesome to send someone to send Luffy back."

It has to be said that those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are dark. After spending a long time with Luffy, Ace also got into the habit of turning his mouth to one side when lying.

"Okay, Luffy will come with us, that's all right!"

"Yeah! Dad is the best!"

.........

"Little Crow, remember to come back often!"

"Kloe, have a nice trip!"

"Clo, our Marshall Village depends on you!"

.........

All the villagers in Marshall Village, led by the old village chief Marshall Yibaisui, reluctantly said goodbye to Cronus and others.

"Village chief, and everyone, goodbye. I will definitely come back when I have time."

Cronus stood on the deck of Oro Jackson and said goodbye to everyone.

Cronus had thought that when Ace was older and could use the Piao Piao Fruit's ability more deeply, he would be able to move the island where Marshall Village is located to the vicinity of Ionia.

There is also the terrifying barque, and Kronos also plans to move Ace to the new world.

After all, one is my hometown and the other is my first stronghold after establishing the pirate group. It is safer to place these two places next to my base camp.
