I, a Celestial Dragon!

It was not until this moment that Ace jumped up from the ground.

He tilted his head and gave Iska an expression of disbelief.

“Wait, Iska, what did you just say?

You said you were recruited to this ship?"

"yes……"

In response to Ace's question, Iska nodded with a malicious look.

"Originally, I just wanted to see Gao Wensheng, hoping to see if you are alive or dead...

However, I didn’t expect that I would actually…actually get on board just to get on board…”

After he finished speaking, Iska rolled his eyes beautifully, and then greeted Ace solemnly.

"Anyway, from now on, we are companions, Fire Fist Ace.

Since you are no longer a pirate and I am no longer a marine, I don't have to think about our differences, and can instead repay your kindness to me!"

"Favor?"

Hearing this, old man Rayleigh beside him immediately showed an interested expression, and waved to Iska curiously.

“Come on, come on, it looks too serious to just stand there and talk, doesn’t it?

It just so happens that it's almost time for dinner, so I'll give Ace a few minutes off.

Let’s go to the lounge area and chat.”

As he spoke, old man Rayleigh led Ace, who was full of surprise, and Iska, who was full of shyness, to the place where the cadres were resting.

Seeing the man and woman brought by Rayleigh, Jinbei, who had just come back from stealing a tree, asked Rayleigh while making a fire.

"Master, why is there another little girl on our ship?

It looks like this girl is about the same age as Ace?

What is she like? Is she the adjutant of Vice Admiral Gion?"

"No, it's Ace's female...sex friend, haha!"

Rayleigh responded with a laugh, then he waved at Jinbei.

"Where's Gawain? Why can't I see him? Wasn't he sitting here just now?"

"My Lord, he's doing research with Franky again..."

Jinbei replied without even looking up.

On the side, hearing Jinbei's words, Ashe suddenly became interested and couldn't help but ask Rayleigh.

"Old man, Gao Wensheng... can he actually do research?

Can a scholar also have such a majestic domineering aura? "

"Ha ha……"

Hearing Ace's words, Rayleigh laughed and shook his head.

"What kind of research can he do? He is just being researched. The ability of the Thunder Fruit is very useful to Franky. I don't know what it is used for, but I think it must be something amazing!

If that research is not important, Gao Wen will never cooperate with him to study his own!"

As he spoke, Rayleigh nudged Ace lightly with his elbow.

“Besides, you’re such an unromantic kid, at this point, you’re still thinking about a man?

Don’t you see that the girl has been waiting for you for a long time in embarrassment?

Don't you know that you should say something a man should say at this time? "

"I……"

After being lectured by Rayleigh, Ace had no choice but to turn his head and look at Iska.

Just now, he had actually been avoiding Iska.

He could probably understand Iska's thoughts, and it was precisely because he understood that he wanted to escape.

Because he didn't think that a guy like him deserved an excellent marine to be too nice to him...

On the side, looking at Ace's evasive eyes, the expectation in Iska's eyes gradually turned into disdain.

Iska just shook her head nonchalantly, and then she spoke to Rayleigh and his group in a familiar manner.

“My dear seniors, please don’t make any mistake. Ace and I only have an ordinary relationship.

When I was hunting him down, I ran into some accidents, and when I was about to die, Ace came to my rescue, it was that simple.

As for our relationship, we can't even be called friends. Before I got on the ship, I had even been chasing him...

In short, I am Iska, a lieutenant in the navy, and I am honored to appear on this famous ship, the Xuanniao, with all the seniors!

In the past six months, Gao Wensheng's various deeds have already reached the ears of wandering people like us through newspapers and magazines.

Whether it is Fishman Island or Gaya Island, Gao Wensheng's kindness is admirable.

As for his confrontation with Whitebeard and Red Hair, his courage made us all feel frightened!"

Having said that, Iska bowed solemnly to the group of veteran cadres.

“I really didn’t expect that a common second lieutenant like me could be recognized by Lord Gawain and come here to talk with all those legendary seniors.

If I have done anything wrong, I hope you will forgive me, seniors!"

Having said that, Iska bowed to the cadres again.

Looking at Iska bowing, he smiled and nodded slightly, then turned to Iska and smiled.

“Although I cannot see anything, I can hear the passion in your heart just by listening to your voice.

And, haha, just based on those words you said praising Lord Gawain, you have a smooth sailing on this ship!

Because all of these seniors you mentioned here have the same idea as you, haha!"

Amidst loud laughter, Yixiao raised his wine jug and took a sip.

Then he continued to speak to Rayleigh with a smile.

"Haha, Brother Rayleigh, since our dreams can also be recognized by young people.

Then this old man has already seen the scenery of the future.

As long as our ideas can always be recognized by young people of every era.

Even if we fail in this life, our thoughts will live on for us in the future!"

"Yes!"

As soon as the joke ended, Rayleigh nodded slightly, but after nodding, he immediately shook his head.

“You are indeed right, but a little too pessimistic.

Haha, how could we fail?

Gawain is no ordinary fellow, we have known this for a long time, and as for us, we are even more extraordinary!

If Gawain and the rest of us can't realize a single ideal...

Who else is worthy of achieving this?”

After he finished speaking, Rayleigh nodded to Yixiao, then he turned to Ace and hit Ace's head hard.

“And you, Ace, look how polite that little girl is!

This little girl Iska doesn't have a middle surname. I guess she, like me, is from an ordinary family.

But what about you? You are Roger's son and the heir of the D clan!

You have one of the best bloodlines in the ocean, but you are not even one-tenth as good as that girl!

Whether in terms of politeness or calmness, you have been surpassed by Iska!"

Having said that, Rayleigh hit Ace's head repeatedly, and Ace, while being beaten, wore an indifferent smile and looked at Iska who gasped across from him.

Noticing Iska's surprise, Ace immediately pointed at Iska's face and spoke loudly to Rayleigh.

"Old man, don't you think she is frightened?

He is not as calm as you said, right...?"

"Go to hell, who wouldn't be surprised to hear about your background? Don't try to make excuses, kid!"

Finally, Rayleigh hit Ace's head, then he picked up the wine jug and took Ace, Iska, and everyone else to drink happily.

Chapter 237 I just want a child!

In Alabasta, in the city of Kotlaina.

The legend of the Xuanniao flag gradually spread as time passed.

At the beginning, the people of Kotlaina City all followed the direction of the Black Bird Flag and silently received their daily food and water.

As more and more people got the news, and Gawain's men gradually figured out the way in the desert.

The black bird flag, as well as food and water, also followed people's footsteps from Kotlaina to the entire Alabasta.

And just twenty-one days after Gawain landed in the Kingdom of Alabasta...

It is in the port city of Kotlaina, where the Black Bird Flag is closest to Marijoa from the Alabasta Kingdom.

Cross to the port city closest to the Upside-Down Mountain, when it rains.

A miracle happened.

When the people of Rainland eagerly hoisted the Black Bird flag...

Most of the cities around Alabasta, where it had stopped raining for more than 200 days, have seen new rain!

As rain fell from the sky onto people, countless Alabasta people rushed into the streets.

They were calling out to all kinds of gods like crazy, they were cheering hysterically for the coming of rain, and even those who were socially obsessed simply took off their clothes and enjoyed the rain and the gentlemen to their heart's content!

And among such an excited crowd, some caring people showed their smiles.

It was as if all of a sudden, the crowd began to sing praises to the Xuanniao flag and words praising Gao Wensheng!

All of a sudden, people were influenced by individual leaders.

Gradually, people stopped praising the gods in heaven, and Gawain's name appeared more and more frequently!

It was also from this day that the Black Bird flag became a trend in the hearts of the people of Alabasta.

Even those people who had just found a source of drinking water bought or hand-painted the pattern of the Xuanniao flag directly in their homes.

People even feel that this flag has, to a certain extent, the mythical power to ward off disasters and resolve problems.

……

At the same time, on the edge of Cotlaina City, Gawain sat on the sofa, constantly reviewing the report in his hand.

As he watched, he asked Kalifa without even looking up.

"So, we still have about 30% of our food left, but the food supply needed by Alabasta is about eight times the size of our Xuanniao, right?"

At this point, Gao Wen couldn't help rubbing his chin.

"How long will it take for the supply ships that we asked the Navy to help dispatch to arrive?"

“My Lord, because it takes a lot of time to collect supplies, the navy’s progress is not very fast.

However, in the past two days, small groups of naval supply teams have arrived in Kotlaina.

According to information from Marshal Sengoku, it would take at least forty days for the large amount of baggage to slowly reach Alabasta.

But special speedboats will arrive to help with the most urgent needs.”

On the side, after listening to Kalifa's words, Gawain nodded and continued to ask.

"Besides that, according to the judgment of Cobra and other Alabasta people.

How long will it take for Alabasta to resume full production?"
