I, a Celestial Dragon!

After finally wiping off the dust and stains, Muzan stood up straight, smiled and gestured to Yoriichi to come over.

He spoke as he gestured.

"Before today, I had imagined seeing you again many times.

Because before you, I was like an elephant near a pack of rats, and I could kill the rats with just one kick.

But your appearance told me for the first time that there really are rats that can get into my nostrils and block my way of survival.

I thought I would have a lot to say to you.

But now, haha, do what you should do.

I don't deny that I eat people because I no longer feel that I am a human being. Just like a tiger can eat a wolf and will not be criticized, eating people is just my nature now.

And you.

As a hunter, it is not shameful to die in your hands, not to mention that I am no match for you.

But I want you to know that I may die with regret, but you will also win with regret!

I am no match for you, but without Gawain, you would never have found me!

Takamagahara...

Ah!

What a great Takama-ga-hara!

What a god!

You and I are just playthings, part of people's entertainment!

You think you can gain something by killing me..."

Sa! ! !

Before Muzan could finish his words, Yoriichi had already drawn his sword.

A moment later, Yuanyi put the knife back into the sheath.

"You said you didn't want to talk to me anymore, but you kept talking. You were desperate for a way to survive.

But why do you think I would be in the mood to talk to you more?"

Chapter 509 Luffy's Confusion

In the world of One Piece, the first half of the Grand Line, on Upside Down Mountain.

Luffy sat on the top of a tree, hugging his arms and looking at the world below the Upside-Down Mountain.

Not long after, a red figure landed next to Luffy.

Aceley patted Luffy's shoulder from the treetops and smiled.

"Why are you still being upset? Isn't a whole night enough for you to be happy?"

"No, someone is making trouble!"

Luffy rejected Ace's statement very dissatisfiedly. He pushed Ace's hand away and rubbed his head with a depressed look on his face.

"I'm not a child, how could I be upset?

I've made it very clear, I don't want to stay here any longer, I don't like it here!

Even though I am not old enough to go to sea, I cannot go on the voyage as promised.

But I...I don't want to be a bad person who blocks other people's dreams no matter what!!!"

At this point, Luffy's eyes showed a hint of pity.

He pointed in the direction of the four seas, where countless ship wreckages were floating on the sea.

Many workers were spread out along the sea train tracks, gradually picking up the wreckage and sorting out the treasures and materials contained therein.

And those wreckages that almost covered the entire sea as far as the eye could see were naturally left behind by all the people from all over the world who attempted to cross the Upside-Down Mountain!

Looking at the wreckage, Luffy's eyes were filled with more and more pity.

"Ace, are you sure we are doing the right thing?

I know that there are many bad pirates among that group of pirates, but I think that even bad pirates should have the qualifications to pursue their dreams, right?

Besides, there must be a few good people in there, right?

A man's dream should not be stopped!

Why do we have to stay at the beginning of the Grand Line and tear apart the dreams of all other pirates!!!"

When he said this, Luffy's eyes flashed with the scenes he had seen in the past six months.

In the past six months, the Diandoshan stronghold, as one of the strongholds facing the greatest pressure in the Xuanniao Alliance, has destroyed 120,000 pirate groups of all sizes in the nearby waters.

There are many large pirate groups there, with fleets of hundreds of ships, like the East China Sea Admiral Creek.

At the same time, there are indeed many adventurers like Ace who truly carry their dreams and head for the Grand Line.

but……

At the beginning of the Xuanniao Alliance's plan, Rayleigh and his men were not able to screen all the pirates attempting to cross the border at this time.

and so.

In the past six months, all the pirate groups that wanted to break into Upside Down Mountain have sunk in this sea.

Without exception!

Whether they are good pirates or bad pirates, their last cry before failure will undoubtedly be full of inner emotions.

Luffy had heard too many shouts like that.

“We want freedom!”

"No one can stop a man's dream!"

"Our journey is to a new world!"

"How could you fall here!"

"I am about to enter the Grand Line. My voyage has just begun!"

"Rayleigh, you are a pirate legend, but you want to destroy the pirates single-handedly?"

"Damn you little rubber devil, helping the evildoers!"

"You deserve to die!"

……

Voices like these continued to linger in Luffy's mind, making him feel increasingly depressed.

Until last night, Luffy finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Yesterday, after the West Sea assembled 800 pirate groups to break through the checkpoint during the day and failed, it assembled more than 200 pirate groups again that night and launched a new attack on Upside Down Mountain.

It’s a pity that he had to face Rayleigh’s knife and Zephyr’s fist.

He was just a weak pirate from the four seas and had no ability to successfully break through.

After completely preventing yesterday's rush to the checkpoint, Rayleigh led his surviving men to drink as usual.

During the past six months, the fighting at the Upside-Down Mountain stronghold had never stopped for a single day. All the pirates were waiting for the moment when this stronghold was exhausted to the extreme, but Rayleigh had always led his men to hold on.

The price of holding on was that his soldiers became increasingly wild, and the consumption of wine and meat in the entire stronghold was far beyond imagination.

At the same time, Raleigh had to expand the scope of the stronghold and introduce the relatively famous brothel industry in the East and West Seas near the gathering point to provide services that could slightly soothe the tired soldiers.

Raleigh didn't take that banquet seriously because similar banquets took place every night.

But he didn't expect that Luffy, who had always been relatively obedient, would completely explode this night!

Luffy had a big fight with Rayleigh, and then was beaten up severely by Zephyr with his iron fist.

After that, Luffy was always in a bad mood, even Ace and Sabo's repeated attempts to persuade him were useless.

Sabo still had his own things to do. He had used himself as a bridge to open up the connection between the Xuanniao Alliance and the Revolutionary Army, and attracted a commander of the Revolutionary Army to lead his subordinates to station at Diandao Mountain for defense.

So, Sabo was too busy to comfort Luffy.

Only Ace, when Relize Fashiru and others were all active.

One more or one less of him wouldn't make much difference on the front battlefield, so he could come over and say a few words of advice.

Seeing that Luffy still couldn't let go of the grudge in his heart, Ace was silent for a long time, and finally sat next to Luffy.

In the distance, the war that had just stopped started again, and the pirate alliance that had assembled in the South China Sea for two weeks launched a third attack.

After the noise of this attack was heard in other sea areas, the so-called clarion call for a general offensive was sounded.

The pirates gathered from all over the world rushed towards Upside Down Mountain. Even the tracks of the sea train were temporarily destroyed by them!

Faced with such a scene, the commander of the Revolutionary Army quickly attacked and decisively helped Rayleigh and his side withstand the pirates' attack.

At the same time, the newly established G87 branch of the distant navy also rushed over under the leadership of the branch chief, Major General Tina.

The Navy and the Revolutionary Army rarely cooperate, but when it comes to pirates, their attitudes are the same.

Their hearts are far more mature than Luffy's, which also allows them to more clearly understand how much their actions will save people on the Grand Line while resisting pirates!

Looking at the ever-expanding battlefield, Ace was anxious. He knew that everyone needed him now.

But Luffy...

Gritting his teeth, Ace patted Luffy's shoulder for the last time.

"Luffy, the war has started again, and I don't have any more time to comfort you!

I just hope you give it some damn thought!

Is Uncle Gawain a good person? Is Godfather Rayleigh a good person? Is Teacher Zephyr a good person? Mr. Xiluo... he doesn't count!

In short, think about everyone carefully. Except for a few companions, aren’t our other partners and seniors all excellent predecessors worthy of your admiration?

Then why do you think that what so many of your outstanding predecessors are doing together would be a bad thing?

Do you think you are smarter than all your predecessors put together?

Or do you think that among all of us, you are the only one with a kind heart?

What I hated to say to you the most before was... you don’t understand anything!

I don't like talking about my brother like that!

But think about it carefully, think about why we can gather together like this, why we have to face attacks from more than five hundred ships every day, but our soldiers still don’t feel tired!

You only saw the roars of the pirates as they died.

Have you ever seen how many people behind us are smiling because of the disappearance of the pirates!

If you can be open-minded, then don't think about those messy things, and work hard with everyone!

If you can't get over it, then just leave. I will ask a few uncles from the logistics department to take you to the current Grand Line for a tour and let you see what kind of life the people in the Grand Line are living now!

Make your choice quickly, Luffy!

I don’t have time to accompany you, everyone needs me!!!”

After saying that, Ace suddenly jumped out and rushed into the battlefield as a line of fire.

"Prometheus, bipolar sky on fire!!!"

"Got it, Ace, the fire is coming!!!"

puff!

boom!

Hoo ho ho! ! !

The heavy fire instantly covered a small area of ​​the sea, accompanied by the pirates' screams and howls. Ace's slightly freckled face no longer had the smile and optimism of his youth, but was instead worn down with indifference and cruelty!

But you should find that even if he is more ruthless, more brutal, and decisive in doing things, he is still more vicious.

But his heart and his flame were tempered to become hotter and stronger in the face of his increasingly determined goal!
