The Great Passage, in Alabastan.

"Ace, why are you carrying a black coffin?"

Luffy asked loudly as he pointed to the coffin behind Ace in surprise.

"You say it? It's a mysterious treasure! ”

Ace pointed to the small coffin behind him and smiled.

It was only recently that he discovered that this pitch-black coffin could be shrunk, and because of this, it was very convenient to carry it with him.

The strangeness of the coffin made Ace sure that this black coffin was definitely a secret treasure.

"Wow! Is it so amazing? Let me see! ”

Luffy's eyes flashed and he hurriedly jumped behind Ace.

The two were fighting, and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates were silently watching, and they secretly discussed that the two brothers had too many differences in personality.

Ace sat there, looking quiet and polite, while Luffy had a detached personality and babbling, obviously a very different personality.

How did these two become brothers?

Nami blinked and stared at Ace for a long time, carrying a strange black weapon at her waist.

"I'll introduce you to my fellows, Ace."

"Nami, our navigator, is also a powerful spear and swordsman."

Luffy laughed, his words full of pride.

"Spear swordsman?"

Ace couldn't help but look at Nami.

The latter stretched out his hand generously: "Hello, Ace!" ”

Ace glanced at Nami a few times, still wondering what kind of profession a spear swordsman was.

"Nami is very powerful, and when I met her, she was obedient to all the dragon pirates who were doing evil in their village."

Luffy said with a smile.

"Dragons?"

Ace was stunned for a moment, and he didn't remember who it was for a while, but he still showed admiration on his face, and his expression was very good.

"This is Zoro, Usopp, Sanji!"

Luffy introduced them one by one, and Ace returned the salute with them one by one.

"I'm sorry for you to take care of my brother."

"Definitely!"

Everyone returned the salute one after another.

They didn't expect Luffy's brother to be so polite.

Subsequently, the plot continues to move forward, and Luffy accidentally hits Smoker.

"Straw Hats!"

Smoker's face sank, and he hurriedly chased after him.

But at this moment, Ace made a move and stopped Smoker.

"Fire Fist Ace, I know you, a man like you, it's a shame to become a pirate."

Smoker said coldly.

Smoker also vaguely heard about Ace's identity, he has a close relationship with the people in the department, and he is even better friends with Pheasant.

"It's my freedom to be whoever."

Ace laughed.

Flames collide with smoke, and the two show equal ability.

"I still have something to do, so I won't talk to you more!"

Then, Ace turned and walked away quickly.

Smoker didn't chase after him, he looked at Ace's back with a complicated expression.

"The nephew of General Don has actually embarked on the path of pirates, if he is still here."

For Donn, Smoker has always been treated as an idol. All along, he has been aiming at each other and working silently.

Although the man disappeared, he influenced too many people.

Ace walked alone on the streets, he had been out of the Whitebeard Pirates for a while, and with his strength, if he was careful enough in the outside world, he would not encounter any danger.

Along the way, he followed Titch's trail and met Luffy, which was also an accident, but being able to see his younger brother made him very happy in his heart.

It's just that Teach's thing, like a thorn, has always pierced his heart and made him unforgettable.

Finally, after leaving one more life card, Ace said goodbye to Luffy.

He set out on a journey again, looking for clues to Titch according to the information he had received.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared on Ace's ship.

"Payne? When did you come here? ”

Ace was very surprised, and there was a hint of caution in his eyes.

This man is too mysterious and too powerful.

"Very well, you carry the black coffin on your back."

Payne nodded, one pupil exposed, full of coldness.

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

Ace asked.

This man is mysterious, but he doesn't seem to have any ill will towards himself.

"Give me the black coffin."

Payne said briefly.

"I can't give you this."

Ace shook his head.

The black coffin behind must have a secret, and the day the secret is revealed, there must be a surprise, and he has felt the mystery and magic of the black coffin during this time.

"I can tell you about Teach."

Payne said.

Hearing this, Ace's pupils shrank: "How do you know my purpose?" ”

"I know everything about you, this world, no one knows you better than I do."

Payne said.

Ace's eyes flashed with incredulity, and then he said, "Who are you?" ”

"Too many people have asked me that question!"

Payne shook his head.

"Give me the black coffin, and I'll tell you what you need."

There was a hint of hesitation on his face, but soon Ace still made a decision, and he put down the black coffin behind him: "Tell me, where the hell is Titch!" ”

As soon as Payne stretched out his hand, the heavy black coffin was sucked into his palm, and then on his back.

The strange gravitational pull of this scene made Ace's eyes streak.

"Panalo!"

"But are you sure you have what it takes to handle Titch's gang?"

Payne asked casually.

"This kind of thing, you don't need to worry about it as a stranger."

Ace said in a deep voice.

Personally, he doesn't believe that Titch has the possibility of beating him, and as the captain of the rematch, he knows Titch well.

"Impulsiveness comes at a cost, and it won't be long before you understand that."

Payne threw out a faint sentence.

Then, his body slowly floated up, and disappeared in front of Ace's eyes in a blink of an eye.

Compared to Ace, he has more important things to do at the moment.

As for Ace's problem, when he stepped out of the coffin, he was confident enough to solve any problem.

Watching Payne fly into the air, Ace opened his mouth and finally muttered.

"Amazing people!"

As a human being, who can fly in the air, it is obvious that the other party must also be the one who has eaten the Devil Fruit.

On the other side, Payne had reached the nearest island.

He found a secluded place with a river nearby, and then slowly lowered the black coffin.

"Ace, this kid is really smart, and he actually touched some peculiarities about the black coffin."

Looking at the black coffin that had been made smaller, Payne whispered.

Sendley's black coffin is naturally very mysterious, and it has some characteristics of the ability itself. For example, it can be soaked in seawater and float in the sea, and for example, it can be reduced and easy to carry.

Pulling out the bright red flask from his bosom, Payne looked down at the black coffin.

"Now, it's time for you to come out!"

At the same time, on the island of Panalo, Ace had already met Titch and his gang.

"Ace!"

Titch exclaimed in surprise, with an excited look on his face.
