East China Sea, Windmill Village.

"Are you really going to sea?"

In the tavern, Lu Jiu held the teacup in front of him and looked at Ace with a calm face.

"Yes, I want to see how the man who abandoned us conquered this sea."

Ace was sitting precariously, his eyes dodging and he didn't dare to look at Lu Jiu.

In his imagination, his mother was absolutely against him going to sea.

Originally, he planned to go to sea secretly, but in the end he wanted to ask his mother's opinion.

"Do you know that the outside world is cruel?"

Lu Jiu took a sip from the teacup, full of reluctance in her heart.

"I know, so I have doubled the cultivation tasks that Old Man Karp and Reilly have arranged for me since I was a child, and I have already mastered what you gave me."

Ace is confident.

"If your identity is discovered..."

"I'll be careful." Before Lu Jiu could finish speaking, Ace interrupted.

"Then when are you leaving?"

Lu Jiu never thought of keeping Ace in this small village all the time, even if he was reluctant!

The child has grown up, and the efforts she should have done have been done.

It's just that Lu Jiu is worried, afraid that Ace will suffer outside.

"Ahh You promised. ”

Ace didn't react at first, looking stupid.

"Yes."

Lu Jiu looked down at the teacup, her eyes were full of sadness, but Ace didn't notice it, just jumped with joy.

"I'll leave tomorrow, I'll take Sabo and Luffy's dreams with me, and I'll be the One Piece."

Ace said with his hands outstretched.

"Okay, I'll go pack your things for you."

Lu Jiu quickly stood up and walked into the courtyard at the back.

And Ace is still cheering, he is going to tell Luffy the news.

After saying that, he rushed out of the tavern.

A few years ago, Sabo was shelled and killed by the Draconians, and all these years only Ace and Luffy remained, and the two had a goal since childhood, and they would sail freely on this sea with Sabo's will and become the king of the pirates.

After Capu's education from childhood to adulthood, as well as Reilly's systematic teaching, and the influence of Lu Jiu, now Ace and Luffy are several levels stronger than when they first went to sea in the original book.

For example, Ace has now mastered the overlord color, the color of seeing and hearing and listening to all things, the second stage of armament, and at the same time, the physical skills have reached the level of major general.

In other words, Ace's comprehensive strength is combined, and his strength has far surpassed that of the major general.

The only flaw is that I don't have much experience in battles.

The same goes for Luffy, now that he has mastered the armament and what he has seen, and has vaguely developed a second gear.

You know, there are still two to three years before Luffy goes to sea.

Now Ace and Luffy's strength has changed beyond the original, and all of this is because of Foxy.

In the back mountains, Luffy is doing physical training, and the blood in his whole body is constantly compressing, and the shadow on his body is about to start to appear steam.

However, it failed at a critical moment.

This annoyed him.

"Luffy."

Ace stepped on the moon step and flew into the air, waving at Luffy.

"Ace."

Luffy stopped his cultivation and watched Ace land in front of him.

"Did Aunt Lu Jiu agree?"

Faced with Luffy's curiosity, Ace pretended to sigh deeply.

"Aunt Lu Jiu won't want us to be a navy like grandpa!"

Luffy was discouraged.

"Yes, I can go to sea and be a pirate."

Ace grinned.

"Ahh

Luffy was stunned at first, and then cheered excitedly.

But the two stopped cheering halfway through, and at the same time their faces were all closed.

"Let's go tell Saab the news!"

"I'm going to get shochu."

Luffy quickly disappeared in place.

A few minutes later, the two of them came to a tomb where Sabo was sleeping.

"Sabo, I'm going to sea."

Ace and Luffy sat in front of the tombstone with three wine bowls in front of them, and Luffy opened the wine bottle and filled it.

The atmosphere was a bit heavy.

And Lu Jiu, who was far away in the bedroom in the courtyard of the tavern, was packing some simple clothes for Ace, but her movements were very slow.

Finally sat on the bed and sighed.

The child has grown up after all.

The next day, when the sun was hovering over the horizon, almost all the villagers of the small port of Windmill Village came.

Ace was sitting on an independent wooden boat, waving to the shore with the things that Lu Jiu had packed for him.

"This stinky boy, the Navy shouldn't be a pirate."

The village chief is very vicious with his cane.

Lu Jiu stood at the front and looked at Ace silently.

"Luffy, I'll go to sea first, when we meet again, we may be enemies, I won't let you in One Piece, even if you are my brother."

Luffy on the shore howled and cried, and his tears couldn't stop like the water from the faucet.

"Bastard Ace, I will definitely find ten partners to become the king of the pirates, even if you are my brother, I will not let you."

Luffy wiped tears from his eyes and roared, "I'm going to be 17 years old in two years, and I will definitely surpass you." ”

Behind her, Maggie comforted Luffy.

"Mom, I'll definitely take a good look at the sea that guy has conquered, and if he can do it, I can do it, and I will surpass him."

Ace pressed the orange cowboy hat on his head, his eyes a little moist.

"Yes."

Lu Jiu smiled.

"Mom, thank you for growing up with me."

Ace was already choked up.

"Yes."

Lu Jiu was still smiling.

"I love you."

Ace roared, and with a roar, the wooden ship quickly left the harbor.

"Yes."

Lu Jiu was still smiling, but her eyes were full of tears.

Looking at the wooden boat and the back in the distance, the corners of Lu Jiu's simple skirt continued to flutter in the sea breeze.

"Bastard Ace, you wait for me."

Luffy was still roaring at the sea.

"Lu Jiu, the child is older, we can't stop it."

The village chief walked up to Lu Jiu, and his somewhat cloudy eyes were full of memories.

"Let's all go back! It's not life and death. ”

It's not just Luffy and Lu Jiu who are crying, but many aunts and uncles are also wiping their tears.

After all, these people all grew up watching Ace and Luffy, and they were naughty in the village when they were young.

It wasn't long before Karp, who was far away in the New World Fortress, walked out of the office and stood in the hallway after answering a phone call, looking at the magnificent sea horizon in the distance, his face a little sad.

"I'm still a pirate, why don't you follow the path I arranged."

Chambord Islands, a tavern of the Strip of Bamboo.

"Little Ace went to sea?"

Xia Qi looked at Reilly, who answered the phone.

"Yes."

Reilly wears rimmed glasses and drinks alone.

"What about you?"

Xia Qi pondered for a moment, pretending not to care about wiping her wine glass.

"I will go to sea when necessary."

There's no way Reilly can let Ace go.

"Wouldn't it be good for Ace to follow the path Karp had arranged?"

Xia Qi couldn't figure it out.

"I can't stop it, whether it's Karp or me, or his mother; Ace's fate was predestined from the moment he became the captain's child. ”

"But you have to know the consequences of Ace's identity being exposed."

"I know, if possible, I would also like Ace to be in the navy, but this guy is the same as the captain, he is usually very arrogant and heartless, but the dreams and goals he decided will go no matter what the sword mountain and the sea of fire are."

Reilly's eyes were full of memories, too.

"Ace's talent is very high, he has mastered the three-color domineering, and like the captain, he has awakened to listen to all things, and what he lacks is actual combat experience.

Maybe he can do what the captain can't. ”

"It's really a son inheriting his father's business!"

Xia Qi chuckled.
