One Piece: The Salted Fish Fruit

"Release Princess Mia!"

The crowd below erupted in curses upon seeing the person who suddenly appeared on stage.

"You want me to release such a beautiful princess?! Why should I?!" Ace stood up, looked at the crowd below, pushed down his cowboy hat, and, flames engulfing his body, sneered! For the sake of his brother's reputation, he'd discard such things!

"Whoosh!" The government official sitting on the high platform immediately stood up, his face filled with fear as he revealed the identity of the person who had suddenly appeared below.

"Portgas D. Ace! What are you doing! Release that woman, she's a tribute from the Celestial Dragons!"

"Are you talking to me?" Ace jumped off the railing and looked up with a smile.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!" Under Ace's gaze, his body involuntarily took a step back and fell to the ground, no longer daring to look directly at him.

"This woman is quite beautiful! I want her!" A calm voice rang out, but it was captured by the microphone that Mabi deliberately raised and broadcast over the loudspeaker.

"put···"

"Huh? You're going to resist! Fire Fist!" Seeing that he was about to resist again, Fire Fist was unleashed, setting the entire platform ablaze and causing chaos below.

Without even looking at his own masterpiece, he picked up Mabi and tried to carry her on his shoulder!

"Let go! Let me go!" Maggie struggled desperately as Ace lifted her up by the waist, a scene clearly captured by a newspaper reporter not far away!

"Shut up!" Ace roared, suppressing his urge to burn Mabe!

"Woo! Woo!" A pitiful whimper, like that of a kitten, echoed through the air, causing a pang of sorrow among the crowd below! First, they were offered as tribute, and now they've been kidnapped! And this time, coincidentally, it was all captured on camera by the newspapers!

"Eek!" The flames on Ace's body flickered, indicating that he was quite agitated!

Jordan, sitting in another stand, covered his eyes, unable to bear watching. Mabe was acting too convincingly!

"Retreat!" Mabi whispered as she was captured.

"Agreed! I'll burn you when we get out!" Ace replied, his face twitching from the shock of Mabire's blow.

"Uh! Is that really necessary?" Seeing Ace's expression, Mabi was speechless. There was no need for such a big reaction.

"Boom!" A fireball shot into the sky and scattered! Notify everyone!

"Haha! I'm taking your princess with me! No need to thank me!" Ace, carrying Maggie on his shoulder, turned around and laughed, leaping away from the guards who tried to stop him!

"Sabo! Let's go too!"

"Good! If she falls into the hands of pirates, her fate will be even worse!"

"Strange! Why are there so few King's soldiers?" Sabo looked down at the deserted streets with a puzzled expression.

"Thunderous Fury!" A bolt of purple-white lightning struck Ace, who was leaping on the rooftop, in an instant!

"Damn it! That guy Elune came down from the sky island?" Mabi cursed under her breath, stretching her numb body. Looking at Ace, who was on guard, she knew he was up to no good!

Chapter 73 Brothers Reunite!

"Swish!" Mabi quickly changed her clothes, having already moved away from the crowd's attention. She no longer needed to play the role of Mia, who was now tied up with the pirate crew.

"Three people?" Mabi quickly jumped onto the roof and found the three people confronting Ace.

“Sabo! Kerla! And who is this middle-aged man?” Mabi looked at the three people in front of her: a water pipe, a top hat, a scar, and an orange-haired woman clinging to him. There was no doubt that it was the young couple.

"Chief of Staff Sabo, intercept Portgas D. Ace for me." The middle-aged man beside him stared at Maby and instructed Sabo.

"Happy to help!" It wasn't until Maby finished changing that he realized the so-called Princess Mia was actually a man in disguise. As a partner of this country, he naturally had to help find out where the real princess was!

"Ace! It's Sabo! Wake him up!" Maggie cheered mischievously beside Ace! Sabo is still suffering from amnesia, and it will be difficult for him to wake up without a strong stimulus, so let's beat him up first.

"fire punch!"

"Hey! Why did you hit me?!" Mabi shouted as she swung her hand to disperse the fiery fist that was rushing towards her and jumped far away.

"I wanted to burn you just now!" Ace's face was gloomy as he glared at Maggie, clearly still holding a grudge about what had just happened.

"Tch! So what if I let you hug me while I'm dressed as a woman? If you hit me again, I'll call your parents next time I'm dressed as a woman!" Mabi said disdainfully, but she was still on guard because this guy had wanted to beat her up for a long time.

"~~~~~~" A string of black lines spread across Ace's head!

"Sacred Fire Shiranui!"

"Sever the Void!"

"Aren't they in cahoots?" The three people beside them looked at the two fighting in front of them with complete bewilderment!

"This looks a lot like the scene where Uncle Long beats up Sister Ivan," Kerr said, looking at the familiar scene.

So that's how it is! So this one was also a transvestite!

"Ace is your brother! Haven't you seen each other in a long time?" Mabi shouted, unleashing her Fire Fist.

“I know!” Ace nodded.

"I'll beat you up first."

"You son of a bitch! You've really angered me! Just you wait! I'm going to call your parents!"

"Mirror Flame!" With a single swing of his arm, a wall of flame appeared out of thin air and swept forward!

"Sabo! Long time no see!" Sensing that Mabi had moved far away, Ace looked at the man in front of him and went up to hug him!

"Dragon..." She bent her fingers but felt no hostility and put them down again. She noticed that the man in front of her seemed strangely familiar upon close observation and asked in confusion.

"Who are you? Why do you seem so familiar? Do you know about my past?"

“Pirate Ace! You know that idiot Sabo? He's lost his childhood memories and doesn't remember his past experiences.” Koala reminded him as she watched this scene unfold.

"Sabo! I can't believe you're still alive!" Ace hugged him tightly, his voice trembling!

"I'm going to find that transvestite!" Kera saw that the two people in front of her were familiar people even if they weren't relatives, so she handed the time over to them. As for the uncle from before, he also chased after Mabi when she left.

"Lightning Spear!"

"Air shakes!"

"Sizzle!" The powerful spear-shaped current was dispersed by Mabi. The area that was instantly emptied blocked the direct lightning strike, but the tiny fragments of lightning still spread through the air and reached Mabi.

"Ugh!" My whole body went numb, and the strength in my legs decreased, making it impossible for me to maintain my flight as I plummeted to the rooftop below.

"Why did you impersonate my daughter to deceive our people?" The middle-aged man who arrived stood atop a tower, his body crackling with lightning and his body crackling with electricity, as if he was about to explode at any moment.

"Your daughter? Mia? Then you're her father?" Maby paused, taking a long time to recover from the tingling sensation in her body, and asked.

After a moment's hesitation, the other party slowly replied, "No!"

"Why do I feel like you're having such a hard time answering this!" Maggie complained, listening to his unusually heavy reply.

That's right! Since they're family members, having this device will allow them to identify who fell to the ground!

Mabi took out a rectangular box, which was the life card that Mia had given her to identify herself and to find her parents.

"Holy crap! You're her mother! No, there must be a mistake! How could such a strong man be her mother?" Mabi looked at the three Vivre Cards and saw that they pointed in three different directions. The one pointing to the man in front of her was the one with her mother's name on it, while the one pointing to her father was in another direction. Mabi moved the Vivre Cards left, right, up, and down, and the direction they pointed to changed accordingly, always pointing to the man in front of her.

"She trusts you a lot; she entrusted the Life Card to you." The other person's expression softened slightly upon seeing the familiar box in Maggie's hand, and the lightning covering her body gradually disappeared. She then took out a similar box from her pocket and replied.

"How can I tell you that you can tell I'm not your daughter even when you're in a relaxed state? Even if your subconscious mind tells you to believe there's evidence, you'll still refuse to believe it." Maby finally understood why she was exposed. In order to fool the tens of thousands of people present, she naturally shared some of the burden with everyone and used clothing, language, and reminders from others to guide them to believe that she was Princess Mia. But for those who had evidence, it would cause subconscious resistance and was difficult to work.

“Uncle, you really are her father. I can take you to see her.” Mabi already knew his identity from the Vivre Card, so there was no need to fight him. Originally, she planned to secretly return to find her parents after the incident, but now that he had arrived, it was a good opportunity to go.

“I haven’t seen my daughter in a long time! I miss her very much,” the other person said softly.

"Damn it!" Mabi heard the sound and walked away. It was nothing unusual for a woman to say such a sound, but it made her feel a little uneasy in the hands of this seven-foot-tall man.

"Boom!" An explosion rang out in the distance, followed by a noisy shouting and cursing.

"Hahaha! Sanji, let's run!" Luffy, carrying a large pack on his back, jumped onto the roof and ran. Sanji, also carrying a pack, appeared from behind.

"Hey! Mavis, let's go!" Luffy, who had jumped up, called out to Mavis who was standing on the rooftop. He still had to carry his baggage, otherwise who would know if Mavis was trying to rob him?

"Let's go!" Nami, adorned with gold and silver, jumped up from below, clinging to Jack's back, followed closely by Mia, dressed in men's clothing and wearing a mask.

Chopper carried Robin on his back and jumped onto Angelia, who was flying behind him.

"Usopp, launch your arrow!" Usopp shouted, his whole body tense, as he flew up from below.

"Damn it! The bottle is broken!" Zoro cursed as he climbed up, spitting out the broken bottle. Apparently, he had broken his beloved bottle for some unknown reason.

"Everyone's here! Let's go, crew!" Luffy shouted as he saw his crew, who were still on the ground.

"Let's go!" A group of people jumped and ran on the rooftop, leaving only the crowd below shouting and cursing.

"Haha! Haha! I'm taking your princess with me! I'm going to be the Pirate King!" Luffy proclaimed to the residents and soldiers who were climbing up the hill.

"Damn it! Put Princess Mia down!" an unknown resident shouted immediately. Since the information hadn't reached them yet and they only knew that someone had kidnapped Princess Mia, now that someone had admitted it, they naturally assumed that the other party had kidnapped the princess.

"Hummingbird!" Mabi glanced at Ace in the distance and casually fired a flying shuttle to remind him it was time to retreat.

"Sabo, come with me to see Luffy. He's your brother too," Ace said to Sabo after Maggie's reminder.

"Luffy? Is this also my brother?" After Ace's reminder, Sabo knew that in addition to this older brother, there was a younger brother, just like the one in his hazy memories.

"They really are evil pirates!" Koala looked at the group of people running with large and small bags and flew forward to intercept them.

"Hey! Hey! Who are you?" Luffy shouted, jumping away from the incoming attack.

“She’s your sister-in-law!” Maggie jumped out and replied.

"Sister-in-law?" Luffy was filled with questions.

"Uncle, please stop her! Now is not the time to take action," Mabi shouted to the uncle following behind. Since they knew each other, they should be able to stop her.

"You bastard! You damn transvestite! Who are you calling his sister-in-law!" Upon hearing Mabi's words, he immediately shouted and threw a punch, chasing after Mabi.

"Korla, stop! We'll explain later," the older man behind him replied. He had wanted to deal with the Straw Hat crew when they appeared, but stopped when he saw them only taking the hits without retaliating, and followed along to observe how things would develop.

"Fine, I'll listen to you! If you don't explain, fine! I'm going to give him a good beating!" Kera angrily waved her little fists.

Chapter 74 The World Shakes

"Sabo! I missed you so much!" Luffy burst into tears and hugged the familiar face in front of him.

"Alright! Alright! Luffy, although I haven't remembered you all yet, the sense of familiarity you give me tells me that you are my closest relatives." Sabo smiled as he stroked Luffy's hair, realizing that he also had family in the world.

"Sabo, it's so good to see you alive! Ace, Sanji, let's have a feast!" Luffy shouted, putting down the food on his back.
