Pirates, Start with the vampire fruit and rescue the empress

East China Sea, Mount Kolbo.

The entrance to Dadan House.

“Huh!? Ace, so you are here!”

Sephiroth, who was wearing a black suit with two long knives on his waist, stood in front of a big tree and looked with interest at Ace, who was firmly tied to the tree with a thick hemp rope.

“Where are Luffy and Sabo?”

“Luffy is still sleeping in the house.

Sabo…is dead…” Ace muttered with a gloomy expression and his eyes lifeless.

“Huh!?…Saab is dead!?

How is this going? ”

Sephiroth pretended to be surprised on his face.

“Just yesterday, it seemed that some world nobles, the Celestial Dragons, visited the Kingdom of Goa…

When Sabo went to sea on a fishing boat flying the pirate flag, because he appeared in the way of the Draconian ship, he was sunk by the Draconian cannon and buried at the bottom of the sea…”

“Oh, that’s how it is!

This was his own death. Even if he died, he couldn’t blame others. He could only say that he deserved to die. Sephiroth nodded with a look of confusion on his face.

Hearing this, Ace’s face instantly became extremely ferocious, and he roared loudly with great anger:

“What did you say!?

You bastard, Sabo is my brother!

You actually said he deserved to die! ! ! ”

Ace’s angry roaring voice instantly attracted the attention of the bandits in Dadan’s house. Even Luffy, who had fallen into a deep sleep after crying until he passed out from exhaustion because of Sabo’s death, was awakened.

Everyone ran out of the house quickly and looked at the two of them with expressions of confusion.

Facing the roaring Ace, Sephiroth’s eyes looked very indifferent, and he raised his right hand expressionlessly.

next moment.

Snapped!

A loud slap hit Ace’s left cheek hard, leaving a bright red palm print on his face.

After receiving this slap, Ace, who was tied to the big tree, stopped roaring. He gritted his teeth and stared at the silver-haired young man in front of him with his eyes.

In response, Sephiroth also stared at Ace who was tied to the tree with his eyes, and he said coldly:

“You are always clamoring to go out to sea and become pirates. Don’t you understand what the black sail, which symbolizes the identity of a pirate, represents?”

“When you go to sea with the black skull flag, you are already a pirate!

In this case, you should be prepared to die in the sea at any time! ”

“If you don’t want to be buried in the sea at any time, wouldn’t it be better to just be an obedient baby?”

“Garp has told you so many times that you should become a navy man. Have you listened?”

“Pirates are not just a house game!”

“Since you are determined to be pirates, you must be willing to risk your lives!”

“…”

Sephiroth’s scolding caused Ace to fall into a long silence, as if he was thinking about something.

Indeed, in the mind of Ace, who was only ten years old, he had always only seen the freedom and adventure of going to sea to be a pirate, but he had directly ignored the dangers and disadvantages involved.

Sabo’s death was too sudden and too aggrieved. He didn’t even have a chance to make a name for himself, so he was killed like this…

Perhaps, when he goes to sea on his own day, he might just die quietly on the sea, worthless and meaningless!

Once you hang the black sail that represents the pirate, you must be prepared to die in the sea at any time.

Pirate, is this profession really worth risking his life…?

Ace fell into a brief confusion, and he began to question his childhood dream.

Just at this moment, an albatross flew to the door of Dadan’s house, took out a letter from the newspaper bag, and handed it to Dadan.

“Is this a letter from Sabo…?”

When Dadan saw the signature on the envelope, she suddenly exclaimed.

“Letter?…Saab’s letter?

Show it to me quickly! ”

Hearing this, Ace, who was tied to the tree, immediately started struggling violently. Luffy next to him was also shouting that he wanted to read the contents of the letter.

So Dadan had no choice but to open the envelope, sit by the big tree, and read the contents of the letter to Ace and Luffy:

“Ace, Luffy, are you okay?…

Although I am very sorry for you, when you read this letter, I am already at sea…

I encountered a lot of things during this period. Anyway, I decided to take one step ahead of you and go to sea to become a pirate!

The destination is somewhere other than this country where I will

Became stronger and became a pirate…

Somewhere on the vast, free sea, we will meet one day…

The bond with you is my most precious treasure…”

“Saab!!! Woohoo~!”

After reading this letter, Luffy burst into tears.

On the other side, Ace bit his lower lip with his teeth, tears bursting from his eyes.

After a while, Ace stopped crying. He turned to Dadan and said:

“Let me go!

I will not seek revenge from the Celestial Dragons, I will live well, along with Sabo’s share…”

Seeing this scene, Dadan could only loosen the rope that tied Ace, allowing him to regain his freedom and stand on the ground again.

Seeing Luffy still howling and crying, Ace immediately scolded:

“That’s enough! Luffy, we have to cheer up, we can’t stay depressed!”

Hearing this, Luffy quickly wiped his tears with his arm. He raised his hand to press the straw hat on his head and said firmly:

“Ace, I understand! I will cheer up…

I want to become stronger! Stronger! …..Strong enough to protect anything, so no one will leave me!

So, let me beg you! Ace, you must not die! ”

boom!

After hearing these words, Ace instantly raised his right fist and hit Luffy on the head hard. He said angrily:

“You bastard, stop talking nonsense!

You are obviously so much weaker than me, so you should worry about yourself more!

Listen carefully, since we have drank the wine of friendship with Sabo, and we have already made an oath, threatening to go to sea and become pirates.

So, from now on, we must continue to live together with Saab’s share!

Live a life without regrets! ”

“Yeah! I know!”

Luffy lowered his head, pursed his lips tightly, and fought back the tears that were welling up in his eyes.

Seeing how sensational and conclusive your words are, I decided not to tell you about Sabo being rescued by Dorag!

You two just shoulder Sabo’s will and work hard! ….. Sephiroth cursed secretly in his heart.

After coming into contact with the three brothers, although he only came to Mount Kolbo every now and then, he had set up spies in Windmill Village and Goa Kingdom to pay close attention to the movements of the three brothers.

Yesterday, he called Dolag specifically to ask if he had any plans to watch the Tianlong people visit the Kingdom of Goa, and the other party also made it clear that he wanted to go and watch.

Perhaps it was an accident of fate or necessity, but Drago still saved Sabo who was hit by artillery fire…

Sephiroth saw it all.

Originally, he was thinking that if Dorag didn’t come, he would help out himself… leaving the seriously injured Sabo to the revolutionary army to take care of…

“Hey! Luffy, you want to become stronger, right? I have something that may help you become stronger faster…”

With that said, Sephiroth pulled out the butcher knife from his waist, took out a small wooden box, and handed a black shackle to Luffy.

“What’s this?”

Hearing this, Luffy suddenly reached out and touched the shackles with a curious look on his face.

Immediately afterwards, his body suddenly felt weak and powerless.

“It’s so strange! I feel like my whole body is weak and I can’t use any strength…”

“This thing is called the Seastone Shackles. It can invalidate Devil Fruit abilities. In order to allow you to act normally while wearing it, I have deliberately lowered the purity of the Seastone.

I’ve thought about it, because your current physical fitness is really bad!

The true power of the rubber fruit cannot be exerted at all. Rather than letting you waste time developing those unrealistic abilities, it is better to improve your basic physical fitness first.

No matter how fancy the use of abilities is, without the corresponding strength as the basis, it is all in vain!

After I wore the Sea Tower Stone Shackles, my strength improved by leaps and bounds. “Sephiroth explained with a serious face.

“I see!

I must become stronger!

Strong enough to protect everything! ”

Hearing this, Luffy immediately suppressed the discomfort and powerlessness and put the sea tower stone shackles on his right hand.

Seeing this scene, Sephiroth immediately nodded with satisfaction.

It’s better to step aside for the sake of ability development or something like that!

Let’s improve Luffy’s basic physical fitness first!

Anyway, he can completely guide Luffy to develop those first, second, third and fourth gears by himself, there is no need for him to fumble around at all!

Bulu~! Bulu~!

Bulu~!

The military phone bug that Sephiroth placed in the pocket of his black suit jacket suddenly rang. He took out the phone bug and took a look at it, but did not choose to connect it. Instead, he turned to Luffy and others and said:

“It seems that I have work to do!

Let’s talk another day! ”

After saying that, he waved the butcher knife in his hand, opened the space door, and stepped in.

…………………

Navy G4 base.

Officers’ dormitory building, sixth floor, the commander’s exclusive residence.

Sephiroth walked out of the space door and sat casually on the couch before choosing to answer the phone.

Immediately, Sengoku’s deep and suppressed voice came from the mouth of the phone bug.

“Sephiroth, where are you… now?”

“Navy G4 Base.”

“Where were you three months ago?”

Hearing this, Sephiroth narrowed his eyes slightly, with a surprised expression on his face, but he pretended to be dumbfounded and said:

“Three months ago…? Why do you suddenly ask me such a thing?”

“Three months ago, our navy had three secret warehouses hiding power rocks, and they were quietly invaded…

All the power rocks inside are missing! ”

“Power Rock…?

What is that…?

Also, old man from the Warring States Period, what do you mean by this? ”

Sephiroth’s tone revealed a trace of surprise and anger very appropriately.

Warring States: “…”

Then, the conversation between the two parties suddenly fell into a long silence.

In fact, the reason why the two people had the above conversation was entirely because Sephiroth obtained the four islands where the Navy hid power rocks three months ago by assuming the position of commander of the Navy’s G4 base.

After some preparations, he visited three islands in one night and emptied all three warehouses hiding power rocks!

Due to time constraints, the navy stationed on the three islands discovered that all the power rocks in three warehouses were suddenly missing during their inspections, so they urgently contacted the navy headquarters.

Therefore, the Warring States Period made a decisive decision and ordered people to work around the clock to guard the only remaining warehouse of power rocks…

In view of the situation at the time, Sephiroth decided that if he wanted to move the remaining power rocks, he would have to directly rob them, which would increase his probability of exposure, so he chose to abandon the power rocks in that warehouse.

Unexpectedly, now that three months have passed, Warring States still doubts him…

However, if you think about it carefully, this is a matter of course!

The place where the Navy hides the power rock is highly confidential, and even the Navy soldiers stationed on the island don’t know what they are guarding.

Only a very small number of high-ranking officials in the Navy and the World Government have access to information related to Power Rock.

Among these people, only Sephiroth has the convenient ability to travel to and from somewhere remotely at will. If Sengoku doesn’t cast suspicious eyes on him, then there’s something wrong!

After a long time, Warring States finally spoke again:

“Commander Kong has suppressed this matter for the time being, blocking Wulaoxing’s request for the CP organization to conduct an in-depth investigation of senior naval personnel involved in classified matters…

I am telling you this for no other reason. I just want to tell you that this big event happened three months ago, and I would like to make a routine inquiry. ”

After saying that, Seng Guo hung up the call.

Sephiroth casually clicked on the phone’s intercom. He lay down on the couch, slowly closed his eyes, and fell into deep thought.

Through the communication he just had with Sengoku, he knew that Sengoku had already suspected him.

If Cyborg hadn’t suppressed this matter, maybe the CP organization would have come directly to trouble him!

Sephiroth has already been mentally prepared for this!

Power rock is an important strategic resource for the Umbrella Company to develop spaceships and conduct interstellar navigation, and he must get it.

If he wants to directly break up with the World Government and the Navy because of this matter, then it won’t be too bad!

However, what was somewhat beyond his expectation was that Cyborg Kong, the commander-in-chief of the World Government’s entire army, actually suppressed the matter…

Could it be that Cyborg Kong also has his own plans? He is afraid that the CP will mess with him and destroy his own power in the navy! ? …..Sephiroth muttered to himself.

If you’re not in the right place, it’s hard to know what you’re thinking.

Depending on where you are, your perspective and perspective on considering and looking at things will naturally be different.

What is the commander-in-chief of the world government thinking?

, it is impossible for Sephiroth, a young vice-admiral, to figure out the reason clearly…
