One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 916 Encounter
"boom!"

When Yamato and others were just about to ignore these idiots of the Celestial Dragons and continue their own entertainment, a sudden explosion sounded.

"Luffy! What are you doing touching that thing?!"

Ace, who was blown into a ball of fire, reassembled his body in the air and dropped from the sky pulling Luffy and Peacock, while Luffy grabbed Nami with his hands.

“Hahahahaha, sorry, this is the first time I’ve seen that explosive collar. I didn’t expect it to be so powerful, hahahahaha!”

Luffy smirked and scratched his head.

They sneaked into a slave auction house, easily knocked over all the guards and released the prisoners. After all the slaves left through the back door, Luffy looked at the piled-up explosive collars with some curiosity and couldn't help but reach out to touch them. Then one collar exploded. That was fine, after all, the power of a single collar was not great. But as I said just now, all the collars were piled together. This was not over yet. Right below where they were was a warehouse filled with explosives for making explosive collars. And then the next moment.

Before Ace and the others could react, the entire auction hall was blown up into the sky. This was the origin of the loud noise heard by Yamato and the others.

"Luffy! Now we are completely exposed!!!"

Nami was looking at the ground that was getting closer and closer. Although she had only flown up just now because of the floor under her feet, if she fell down now, it would be fatal for this beautiful girl who was "powerless".

"Don't worry, Nami, I will protect you, hehehe."

Luffy gave a thumbs up and said, but it was obvious that Luffy's assurance was meaningless, and even caused Nami to become angry and start to attack Luffy's face violently.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Finally, Ace, as the elder brother, couldn't stand it anymore and reminded them that among the four people present, only Nami might be worried about falling from a high altitude. The other three were not afraid of this at all, not to mention...

"Fortunately, we have a backup plan."

Ace muttered quietly, and then Nami saw the person she least wanted to see appear in front of her.

"Long time no see, my dear sister."

Nochigo suddenly appeared, took Nami from Luffy's hand, and then shaved her back to the ground, while Peacock and Ace landed steadily. However, before Luffy landed, Ace turned him 180 degrees and smashed him headfirst into the ground. Anyway, this guy wouldn't be really hurt, so he might as well vent his anger.

The brothers on this side are friendly and respectful to each other, and the sister combination on the other side is not bad either. As soon as Nochiko landed, she started to scold Nami. Faced with her sister's majesty, Nami could only choose to hold her head and obey. Anyway, as long as she doesn't use force, it's fine. I nod when you say something, I apologize when you scold me, and I won't change if you ask me.

"Hey, hey, hey, they're really slow. It seems like these guys from the security team only come faster when they're issuing fines."

Ace, who was hiding in the alley, watched the security team start the firefighting and search and rescue mission, and said jokingly that he did not have any good feelings towards these people. The security team here were the ones who really did things for money. There was a boss behind this auction house who could pay, so these people could come here. If there was no money to be made, no one would care even if this place burned to the ground, and they would even be glad that the people here could finally be replaced, hoping to replace them with a wealthy owner.

Even the navy in the past would at least help non-governmental allies that were invaded by pirates, not to mention the new generation navy that has almost broken with the past. It is normal for Ace to look down on these security teams. Of course, if it were the insects of the navy in the past, they might think that these security teams are too inefficient. How can they really put out the fire? It should be the case that the fire will not be extinguished until the fire is exhausted.

"Huh? Isn't this little Luffy? Why are you here?"

Suddenly, Yamato's voice came from behind Ace and the others. After noticing the explosion, Yamato and the others were very curious. When they came over, they saw Ace, Luffy and the others hiding in the alley. "Who are you? Yamato!"

Luffy suddenly jumped up from the ground, and somehow his face, which was badly beaten by Nami, suddenly recovered.

"What are you doing here? We heard the noise you made as soon as we got off the boat."

Yamato looked at Luffy and shook his head helplessly. For some reason, Yamato saw his past self in Luffy. The feeling of having this living dark history running in front of him was really bad. When he saw Luffy, Yamato realized how stupid he was back then.

"You are the people of the beasts!"

At this moment Ace finally reacted from his initial shock and shouted loudly. He didn't understand why the people from the Beasts Pirates actually knew Luffy, and the two sides seemed to be very familiar with each other. How did Luffy know someone from the Beasts, and the princess of the Beasts, Oni-hime Yamato.

Doesn't this brat know a high-end pirate like Shanks? What's up with this ghost girl?

"Beasts? What's Beasts? Ace? Aren't Yamato and the others with Shanks and the others? By the way, Yamato, where are Shanks and the others? Didn't they come with you?"

Luffy looked left and right, searching for Shanks.

"Hey, hey, hey, Luffy, you didn't always think that we were in the same group with Shanks and Buggy, did you?"

Hiyori covered her eyes and said helplessly. She apologized for saying that Luffy looked like Yamato in the past. Really, although her sister was usually unreliable, she was much better than Luffy. One was unwilling to use his brain, and the other had no brain at all. Did the rubber fruit turn your brain into rubber as well?
"Ah? Aren't you?"

Luffy asked, confused.

"Of course not! Please think about it carefully. It's impossible! If we were together, why were there two ships?"

Yamato was also helpless. Well, at least now, Luffy's dark history must be much more than his, but he felt that he was even more stupid! He didn't want this feeling!
"Luffy! They are very dangerous people!"

Ace pulled Luffy behind him and interrupted the conversation between several people. Although he didn't know why Luffy was so familiar with these people from the Beasts, there was no doubt that this was definitely not a good thing, because it meant that his idea of ​​pulling Luffy back to the navy would become further and further away.

"Hmm? Come to think of it, I just noticed that you are the rising star of the navy, Ace the Fire Fist?"

Yamato then noticed Ace. Looking at Ace and Luffy, he suddenly became curious. It was obvious that the two had some relationship, but he had no idea what the relationship was. However, seeing how familiar the two looked, and Luffy saying that his grandfather was the navy hero Garp, Yamato boldly speculated that the two could be brothers?

"What do you want to do? You beast guys!"

Ace looked at Yamato nervously. Although Yamato's expression seemed calm, the vague pressure kept lingering around Ace. This was not an opponent he could deal with. The two sides were not of the same weight class at all. In fact, the feeling that Yamato gave him was no different from that given by Sakaski.

"Ah? We, we came here to have fun, but we saw an explosion here. Can you explain what happened?"

Yamato then remembered the main purpose of their visit.
