The gourmet among pirates

I have also seen gang members who are hated by everyone, secretly taking their little money every day, going to the bakery to buy bread to help the children who are starving to death in the slums, while I make do with it. The bread crumbs and scraps I shamelessly begged from the bakery were mixed with water and eaten to satisfy my hunger.

Human nature is like this, let alone the breath attribute of "holiness".

In this world, there are many strange devil fruits.

Most Devil Fruit users who eat Devil Fruits are also full of uncertainty!

Who stipulates that people who have obtained this "holy" power must be good people?

Human nature is the most complex thing in the world.

Therefore, Ace's inner guard will not relax at all towards Monroe, the so-called saint of the Moonlight Church.

·······

Monroe quickly ran to the side of Famine Knight Perkins, and without saying a word, shot a holy breath into Perkins' body.

When this golden ball of holy light submerged into Perkins' body.

The violent aura rolling around Perkins' body, as well as the power of famine that began to gradually affect people's perception, dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even the crazy desire to die with Ace in Perkins's eyes began to fade away.

After feeling the restless source of famine in Perkins' body, it began to become silent again.

The urgency on Monroe's face slowly calmed down.

"Whoo~~~"

After suppressing Perkins' raging famine origin, the Saint of the Moonlight Church breathed a sigh of relief. When she raised her head, she saw Perkins' eyes full of guilt and worry.

"Her Royal Highness the Saint..."

After shaking her head at Perkins, Monroe walked out from behind Perkins.

Standing in front of Ace, a smile appeared on his face and said: "Ace, long time no see!"

·······

"Ace, long time no see!"

Ace was originally on guard, but he didn't even take back the famous sword "Withered Wood" in his hand. When Ace heard this, he suddenly looked confused.

what's the situation?

haven't seen you for a long time?

Do we know each other?

Ace was stunned by Monroe's greeting. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't find out from his memory that he had any interaction with the saintly lady Monroe in front of him. He couldn't help but frown and ask. He said: "I'm sorry, but I'd like to ask, do we know each other?"

After hearing Ace's words, a trace of disappointment flashed deep in Monroe's eyes.

However, this disappointment was quickly hidden by Monroe.

"Have you forgotten? This is really... too much! Four years ago, sister Ina and I went down the mountain to purchase salt and were kidnapped by pirates. If you and Colonel Taoyao hadn't saved us from the pirates, there would probably be no Monroe in this world. Over the years, I have been paying attention to your information, but I didn't expect that you don't remember me at all."

"Although I have thought that you had forgotten about saving this incident, I still feel too good to hear it from you..."

"Ah!!!!"

After listening to Monroe's story, Ace showed an embarrassed expression.

Searching for the information provided by Monroe, he started digging for his own information again.

But after a while, Ace still couldn't recall this memory.

After becoming a marine, Ace often fought on the front line. He didn't even know how many people he had saved.

Although he only went to sea with Sister Taoyao when he got up early and was not strong enough, there were many times!

In addition, during that time, Ace had been playing a soy sauce character most of the time, so he was not very impressed by the people he and Taoyao saved from the pirates at that time.

of course.

The most important thing is that the feeling Monroe gives me now is so special.

Monroe's facial features can only be called exquisite. Although she is not a great beauty, such a great beauty should have left an impression on him even when she was a child.

Not to mention, Monroe's extremely clear eyes can leave a deep impression in an instant.

If he had ever seen such a pair of eyes, Ace could guarantee that he would have no impression of Monroe at all.

Just when Ace began to wonder if Monroe was lying to him, he happened to catch a glimpse of the nun's uniform she was wearing and the crescent moon pattern tattooed on the cuffs of the nun's uniform.

Ace had a flash of inspiration in vain, and an incredible thought flashed through his mind, and he said in great surprise: "You can't be the crying little nun on that ship!"

Crying little nun! ! ! !

The smile on Monroe's face couldn't help but stagnate.

So in his impression, am I just a little nun who loves to cry?

So angry!

But this guy hasn’t completely forgotten me after all!

Although she was a little angry in her heart, Monroe could only comfort herself in this way.

"That's right, the crying little nun you mentioned is me. If you hadn't saved Sister Ina and me, we might have died long ago, and our end might even be worse than death... In short Thank you for saving me!"

Ace waved his hand: "No need to thank me. It was mainly Sister Taoyao who got rid of the group of pirates who captured you. If you want to thank me, just thank him."

"Of course I want to thank Colonel Taoyao for your kindness, but if you hadn't killed the pirate who wanted to bury us before he died, we would still have died, so I still have to thank you! "

"Haha, is that so? I even forgot about it!!!!"

···············

Looking at Monroe and Ace who suddenly started chatting.

Famine Knight Perkins, who was originally on guard, with eyes full of worry, and Samuda, who came quickly, froze on the spot, with eyes full of confusion!

Your Highness the Saint... Do you know this navy?

Moreover, this guy once saved Her Highness the Saint?

This, this is incredible!

Compared with the surprise of the two of them, Sister Mary, who followed Monroe down, was surprised, but also a little enlightened.

So, was it the little Monroe who he saved in the first place?

When Monroe and Ina were kidnapped by pirates, the priests and nuns in Moonlight Monastery were frightened to death.

Fortunately.

It didn't take long for the navy to send the two men back.

Although Mary had vaguely heard the name Ace from Monroe before, she had never thought that the Ace was the Ace in front of them now.

After all, although the name Ace is not common, it is not uncommon either.

That's why.

She had only told Monroe to be careful about Ace before.

If she had known that Ace was Monroe's savior when she was a child, she wouldn't have done anything like this.

Typos, post first and correct later

Chapter 479

When he learned that the Moonlight Saint who forced the Grand Duke of Moscow to seek help from the Navy and the World Government was the little girl he had saved.

Even Ace, who has a somewhat carefree personality, couldn't help but secretly sigh and sigh at the magic of fate.

Who would have thought that a little girl who loved to cry would actually become a person who was regarded as a saint by hundreds of thousands of people, and even the prince of a country was extremely afraid of her!

He shook his head and pushed the thought out of his mind.

Ace touched the back of his head and suddenly realized: "I didn't expect the so-called Moonlight Saint to be you! No wonder I always felt that I had heard the name Monroe somewhere."

Monroe squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "What, are you surprised?"

"Accident? A little bit!" Ace scratched his hair and said: "But it's also a bit of a headache! This time Grand Duke Moscow submitted an application to the Navy and the World Government, hoping that our navy would come over to help suppress the demagogues in Prince Moscow. The cult..."

While speaking, Ace's slightly red eyes stared directly at Monroe, paying close attention to the expression on Monroe's face.

It is indeed a happy thing to meet old friends again.

If Monroe was not a saint of the Moonlight Church, maybe she would be invited to have a meal with her after this mission.

but now.

Ace wanted to find out what was going on with the Moonlight Church where Monroe belonged.

Because Monroe was the crybaby nun he saved back then, and because of the information he had learned in the city before, Ace's inner preference had actually been unknowingly leaning towards Monroe.

However, he did not forget Robin's advice.

Coupled with the evil aura that erupted in vain from Hungry Knight Perkins just before Monroe came down, Ace was a little hesitant.

Therefore, Ace simply told Monroe the reason why he came to the Principality of Moskot.

Say it bluntly this time.

It's not that Ace believed Monroe, but it was the most direct test of her.

Ace's slightly red eyes were proof that he was using all his power to see and hear Haki.

Although Ace's domineering power of knowledge and knowledge is far from comparable to Enel's "heart" that can read people's hearts.

But after getting along with Enel for a long time, Ace's skills in using knowledge, color and domineering have also improved greatly. Apart from anything else, he can still distinguish whether what others are telling is the truth or lies.

Opposite Ace.

After hearing the word "cult", Monroe's face looked a little ugly, and her delicate eyebrows almost wrinkled.

"Is it a cult..."

After laughing at himself.

Before Monroe could answer Ace's question, Samuda, who was behind Monroe, suddenly shouted angrily: "You bastard navy, keep your mouth clean, don't fucking fart here. If our Moonlight Church is a cult, then Who do you think you are? Are you just lackeys who help others commit evil..."

Not to mention Samda, who had a deep prejudice against the navy because of the past, even Famine Knight Perkins felt an unquenchable anger in his heart after hearing the word "cult" in Ace's mouth.

Even the source of famine, which had been suppressed by Monroe, seemed to be making a comeback after feeling the emotions of the Perkins riots.

"Samuda!!!"

After stopping Samda who wanted to rush up and fight Ace, Monroe asked Ace seriously: "Do you also feel that Moonlight Church is a so-called cult?"

Ace shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

"As you know, I have only arrived on this island a few hours ago. How could I find out in such a short period of time whether the Moonlight Church is a so-called cult?"

"So, I want you to tell me the answer!"

"Of course we are not a cult!" Monroe affirmed: "We are just a group of fools who want more people and a better life."

"Two years ago, a rare flood broke out in the Principality of Moskot. This flood flooded a large number of crops and washed away the houses of countless villagers. As a result, the Principality of Moskot lost all harvests and starved to death all over the land."

"In this case, the Grand Duke of Moscow and his nobles joined forces to buy a large amount of food from neighboring countries. When the ships of food arrived at the port, the civilians who were about to starve to death broke out. The people cheered loudly, cheering that they had hope again. But who knew that what was waiting for them was not hope, but a deeper despair."

"Grand Duke Moskva and his nobles did not care about the lives of the civilians at all, nor did they think about distributing the food to the civilians. The food shipped by the big ships was just to ensure that they could Just continue to live a life of luxury, wine and meat."

"Under such despair, the civilians broke out! In order to survive, thousands of civilians attacked the grain ship, just to grab a bite of food from the ship, but they were so hungry that they had no strength to run. How could they be the opponents of those heavily armed troops escorting food supplies!"

"That time, after tens of thousands of corpses were left behind, the civilians of the entire Principality of Moskot fell into despair in the face of the heart-rending hunger. In this case, it was him... ··”

As he spoke, Monroe pointed to the famine knight Perkins behind him and said: "He was the one who withstood the power of the source of famine. With his own power, he swallowed the hunger of the entire civilian population of the Principality of Moskot, and endured it for everyone. The hunger that could drive people crazy gave the civilians of the Principality of Moskot a glimmer of hope."

"It is precisely because of this that the common people of the entire Principality of Moskot regard the Moonlight Church as their faith, and in just one or two years, the Moonlight Church developed into what it is now."

"I don't know what kind of cult you think of. Anyway, I don't think the Moonlight Church is a cult. I believe that the common people in the entire Principality of Moskot will not regard the Moonlight Church as a cult..."

Is that so?

From Monroe's somewhat angry explanation, Ace seemed to understand why the Moonlight Church developed so rapidly.

Exchange sincerity for sincerity, and only in this way can a small Moonlight Monastery develop into such a behemoth in such a short period of time!
