Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

He first sent Nami back to Cocoyasi Village, and then activated the [Thunder Ring], speeding all the way to Dawn Island, where the Goa Kingdom is located.

Dawn Island, Corpo Hill, Dadan's House.

Ace, fully prepared, bowed respectfully to Dadan, the bandit who had raised him.

"Thank you for taking care of me all these years, Dadan."

"Little Ace, you're not an adult yet. Are you really not going to stay home for another year?"

Dadan, a tall and robust man, wiped away his tears with a handkerchief and responded with a sob.

"And Garp has always wanted you to join him in the Navy."

"Although the Navy isn't exactly a good thing, at least it's better than pirates who don't know where their next meal will come from!"

"Dadan, I won't join the navy."

Ace said in an extremely firm tone.

"Moreover, I have already found my companions!"

"I've already made a promise with him; I'll go to sea with him!"

"Damn it!"

Dadan clenched her fist and said indignantly.

"Do you also want to be seduced by a man like this?"

Dadan remembers very clearly that when Luffy was a child, he decided to become a pirate because he met Shanks.

Although Ace made up his mind to go to sea and become a pirate when he was very young.

But just a week ago, he was still saving money, planning to go to sea after he turned 18.

Everything has changed now...

Garp, what exactly were you protecting?!

Dadan cursed the "naval hero" in her heart.

Ace is about to set sail, aren't you going to come back and check on him?

"Alright, Dadan."

Ace smiled and shook his head. He looked around but didn't see the boy in the straw hat.

"Luffy... never mind."

Ace decided to set sail a year earlier than planned.

Luffy was greatly shocked by this.

Because he could have spent another year with his brother...

But now Ace has decided to set sail ahead of schedule.

Luffy believes he has been deceived by Ace and has already started a "cold war" with him.

Even when Ace was about to depart, Luffy didn't come to say goodbye.

Ace forcibly suppressed the sorrow of parting in his heart, shouldered his huge bag, and waved to Dadan's family.

"Goodbye, Dadan, and everyone else."

Subsequently.

Without waiting for Dadan and the others to respond, Ace pulled his hat down a little to cover his eyes, then turned and left seemingly without any mercy, heading towards the windmill village at the foot of the mountain.

Ace had walked this path down the mountain countless times since he was a child, but this time it was particularly difficult.

But in the end, Ace still left Mount Colbo.

After saying goodbye to his friends in Windmill Village, he borrowed a Den Den Mushi from Makino, the tavern owner in Windmill Village, and dialed the number he remembered.

Ace had originally thought he would stay in Windmill Village a little longer.

Unexpectedly, it only took less than half a minute.

A loud, thunderous sound came from outside the tavern in Windmill Village.

"It's thundering?"

Makino, who was working behind the bar, suddenly changed her expression after hearing the thunder.

"my clothes!"

however.

Before Makino could even rush out of the tavern and pack her clothes...

Ian then appeared at the entrance of the tavern.

"Ace, let's go!"

Amidst the exclamations of amazement from the residents of Windmill Village.

The blue-eyed white dragon flapped its wings and soared into the sky, flying away from Dawn Island.

On the summit of Mount Colbo.

The top of the big tree that was originally Ace's secret treasure trove.

Wearing a straw hat, Luffy gazed at the blue-eyed white dragon disappearing into the distance on the horizon, put his hands to his mouth, and shouted.

"Ace! Next time we meet!! I'll definitely surpass you!!!"

· ········Requesting flowers····· ·····

……

A blue-eyed white dragon roams the sky.

Although it was the second time Ace had ridden the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, he couldn't help but show his excitement.

This thing is much better than a boat!

Just then, as if he heard a sound, he turned his head to look at Dawn Island behind him.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he thought he heard Luffy calling his name...

"what happened?"

Ian's voice reached Ace's ears.

"You're already homesick?"

"How can it be!"

Ace withdrew his gaze from Dawn Island and immediately rejected the idea.

"I just suddenly thought of my little brother Luffy. I didn't have time to say goodbye to him earlier... I'll have to wait until we meet again."

"Your brother..."

Ian glanced at Ace and suddenly spoke.

"If one day in the future I beat up your younger brother...would you be unhappy?"

"……what?"

Ace remained silent for a moment, a look of confusion on his face.

"Luffy... what did he do to you?"

"No, but I really dislike your brother."

Ian said earnestly.

"So I really want to hit him."

Upon hearing this, Ace couldn't help but scratch his head.

He still felt that Luffy had offended Ian...

... 0

But that's absolutely impossible...

"Luffy is my younger brother."

Ace first revealed his identity, and then added.

"But everyone has their own adventure."

"If you want to fight Luffy... can you wait until he sets sail before you fight him?"

"He's still just a child!"

"It seems we've reached a consensus!"

Ian extended his right hand to Ace.

The latter, not understanding why, slapped his hand, making a "smack" sound.

"What kind of gesture is that? Is it a way pirates communicate?"

No, it was just a handshake.

Ian withdrew his right hand and pressed it against the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Immediately, a brightly colored Devil Fruit appeared in his hand.

"Ace, are you interested in Devil Fruits?"

"Devil Fruit?"

Ace looked at the brightly colored fruit in Ian's hand and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"This is a Devil Fruit? It looks a bit strange."

"This is the Logia-type [Flame-Flame Fruit]."

Ian held up the Flame-Flame Fruit in his hand and gave Ace a general introduction to its abilities, effects, and weaknesses.

Do you want to eat it?

Despite the infamous saying—"Flame-flavored fruit, even dogs won't eat it"—it's still considered a delicacy.

However, Ace's development of the Flame-Flame Fruit was actually quite remarkable.

Unfortunately, he never seems to encounter a suitable opponent.

First it was Blackbeard, then it was Akainu.

Ace's Flame-Flame Fruit was completely countered by these two.

In addition, the powerful figures of the New World have displayed fire-based abilities that completely surpass the [Flame-Flame Fruit].

The reputation of the "Flame-Flame Fruit" naturally plummeted...

But just look at Sabo after he ate the Flame-Flame Fruit.

This Logia-type Devil Fruit is really powerful!

If not.

Sabo will not earn the title of "Emperor Yan".

Ian himself wasn't interested in the Flame-Flame Fruit.

Since he already possesses the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which is stronger than the Flame-Flame Fruit, he has little interest in obtaining another Logia-type Devil Fruit.

Otherwise, Ian wouldn't have wanted to give the Flame-Flame Fruit to Nami in the first place—unfortunately, that little thief cat was only interested in selling the Devil Fruit for money.

No matter how much Ian squanders the Flame-Flame Fruit, he shouldn't sell it for money!

This [Flame-Flame Fruit], after going through many twists and turns, has now been brought back to Ace by Ian.

However, to everyone's surprise, Ace refused outright.

"No!"

Ace stated frankly.

"I have no interest in Devil Fruits." (Death)
