“The most powerful domineering color in the world?!
"
Ace muttered in disbelief, then he approached Rayleigh and asked quickly.
"Could it be that even Roger..."
boom!
Before Ace could finish his words, Rayleigh punched him in the back of the head.
After retracting his hand, Rayleigh said to Ace dissatisfied.
"Don't call your father by his name directly. This is the most basic courtesy. Didn't that idiot Garp even teach you this?"
Hearing this, Ace rolled his eyes depressedly, and then he rubbed his head through his hat.
While rubbing it, he whispered.
"How could Garp teach me any manners? He has been teaching me how to be a good navy!
As for what he said, the way to become a good navy...
It means surviving alone in a wild environment, and exercising your resistance and physical strength!
But how could I possibly go into the navy?"
After the words fell, Ace continued to ask in a low voice, facing Rayleigh with a happy expression on his face.
"You haven't let me finish asking my question yet. Could it be that even Luo... and even my father's domineering domineering looks are not as good as that guy..."
boom!
!
When Ace said this, he suddenly received another punch on the head.
Enduring the pain, Ace yelled at Rayleigh with great dissatisfaction.
"Hey, can you be more serious? What do you mean by always doing things like this!"
"Kid, you have to learn to respect others. Only those who know how to respect others are qualified to be respected by others!
Because respect is mutual!
Brat, remember, for Gawain, even I have to call him Lord Gawain, or Mr. Captain!
He is not this guy or that guy. He has the dreams of countless strong men entrusted to him, and of course those strong men include me!
So, even if you don't like to call him Captain Gawain, or call him Sir.
Then you should at least call me Gao Wensheng!
Remember, kid!"
Rayleigh shouted to Ace solemnly, and Ace, after hearing Rayleigh's words, moved his mouth twice in depression.
"I know, bad old man, I will call him Gao Wensheng..."
boom!
!
Another punch hit Ace hard on the head. This one was far harder than before. Ace's entire body even hit the deck of Adam's Treasure Tree.
Before Ace could get up, Rayleigh rushed over, grabbed the rosary around Ace's neck and pulled him up.
"Ace, you won't have been so rude since you were a kid!
Even if you don’t want to call me godfather, at least you should call me by my name!
Instead of the word damn old man coming out of your mouth!
!
Think about it carefully, if a bad old man beat you to the point of losing your temper with a sword, would you feel even more honored because of it?
So, you have to learn not to insult people who are stronger than you, Ace!
!”
Amidst the roar, Rayleigh picked up Ace and put him aside. Facing Rayleigh's extremely serious face, Ace suddenly felt like running away.
"I...I just want to know, who's stronger between Gao Wensheng's overlord color and my father's overlord color!
I just wanted to know this, so I got punched countless times by you, Mr. Rayleigh!
!”
Having said this helplessly, Ace looked at Rayleigh with a wry smile.
As for Rayleigh, he nodded happily.
"Haha, you are quite easy to teach, you learned it in no time.
In this case, let me give you an answer.
You may not like this answer, because even if Roger is the Pirate King, he is still your father.
But just talking about the overlord's appearance, he is much weaker than Gawain!
!”
After the words fell, Rayleigh laughed and picked up Ace, and saw him leading Ace to the fainted crew members.
Pointing at the crew members, Rayleigh said to Ace.
"Just stay on the Black Bird with peace of mind for now. No matter what you want to do in the future, you must at least get my most basic approval.
If I cannot recognize you, then you will never be able to reach Roger's level in anything you do, let alone surpass him!
As for your first priority, take care of your crew!
Go find Khalifa, the secretary with glasses, and politely ask her to arrange a room for you.
After settling your crew, come to me on the deck and I will teach you what real fighting is!"
After saying that, Rayleigh rubbed Ace's hat.
"Go ahead, kid!"
After the words fell, Rayleigh turned around and walked towards Gawain, then leisurely sat down on the lounge chair not far from Gawain.
Seeing Rayleigh walking away, Ace took a deep breath.
This morning... seems to have been a bit of a fantasy...?
He was still helping people distill water in the morning, but suddenly, he, the boat and the people became prisoners of this Black Bird!
That's right, Ace would never admit that he was forced to join this ship. In his opinion, he was just a prisoner!
Even though there is his father's best friend here, there is also a guy who is even more domineering than his father.
Even if the two of them let themselves feel a little bit of the warmth of home.
Ace will never admit that he was annexed by the Blackbird!
With this thought in mind, Ace picked up his crew members and moved closer to Kalifa, asking questions about the room in a low voice.
Listening to Ace's inquiry, Kalifa did not respond directly, she only nodded to Ace.
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Fire Fist, my Lord has not left me any instructions about you before this.
So regarding your treatment, I need to ask your Majesty for instructions!"
After finishing her words, Kalifa walked towards Gawain not far from Kobra.
Watching Kalifa leave, Ace pursed his lips in frustration. The people on this ship seemed to really respect that Gawain!
After all, he is also the captain of a pirate ship, but none of his crew members have such an attitude towards him...
At the same time, Kalifa came to Gawain and whispered to Gawain.
"Sir, what kind of treatment should we give Fire Fist Ace?"
"oh?"
Hearing this, Gawain put down the issue he was discussing with Kobra and turned to think for a moment.
After a moment, Gawain raised his head and smiled at Kalifa.
"Let's form an additional department, let's call it...Iron Eagle.
The organizational structure of the Iron Eagle Regiment is temporarily listed below the Black Bird Regiment, and its members are under the direct jurisdiction of the Black Bird Regiment's cadres.
As for the members of the Iron Eagle Group, let's choose them from young people with great potential like Ace. I hope that after enough training, these young Iron Eagles can transform into soaring black birds and shoulder our mission.
future.
As for the treatment of Iron Eagle members, it should be equal to the treatment of Black Ice Platform cadres like Kaku and Bruno.
However, there are not many elites in the Iron Eagle Regiment, and currently only Ace has been selected. As for Ace’s crew, let’s slowly plan to move to the Black Ice Platform.”
Having said this, Gawain waved his hand gently, and Kalifa immediately turned around and left.
She returned to the anxious Ace, smiled and said to Ace in a celebratory tone.
"Congratulations, Ace, you have become the first person in a new department.
Lord Gawain used you as a standard to open up a new Iron Eagle Regiment in addition to the existing structure of the Black Bird!"
Having said this, Kalifa waved her hand to Ace.
"Come on, Ace, I'll take you to your room!"
"etc!"
Hearing this, Ace was completely confused.
"Can you first explain what it means to open a new department for me?
I won't join any damn Iron Eagle Regiment, I'm a pirate, I'm a pirate!
I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King!
What on earth was that bastard thinking? Did he think I just gave in? I..."
"oh?"
Hearing Ace's words, Kalifa frowned, then she reached out her hand and grabbed Ace's neck in her hand!
Looking at Kalifa's dark right hand, Ace frowned in surprise.
Does even a secretary on this ship have such a power that can hurt people with natural fruit abilities?!
And just as Ace was thinking this, Kalifa continued.
"Mr. Ace, considering that you have just boarded the ship, I temporarily forgive your offense to Lord Gawain.
As for your question, I can answer it for you.
You are a pirate, yes, but this has nothing to do with whether you are a member of the Iron Eagle Group or not.
Mr. Rayleigh is also a pirate, and many cadres of the Blackbird Regiment are also pirates. We can all be agents, sailors, pirates, or even the revolutionary army.
No matter what our identities are, we can all be members of the Black Birds Group, or members of the Iron Eagle Group like you!"
Having said this, Kalifa let go of Ace's neck, and then she nodded slightly to Ace.
"If you figure it out, please come with me!"
"I……."
Facing Kalifa's warm eyes, Ace swallowed deeply, and then nodded helplessly.
"Okay, it's just a title anyway, I understand.
Where is our room? You won’t let us sleep in the basement, right?”
…
…
Just when Ace was completely accepting his current fate, Cobra couldn't help but ask Gawain.
"Gao Wensheng, your iron eagle and black bird really have a sense of sublimation!
As expected of Gao Wensheng, even if it is just a random decision, there is something worth understanding in it!"
"Ha ha!"
Hearing Cobra's words, Gawain laughed directly, and he shook his head with a smile.
"Cobra, stop teasing me. After being together for more than half a month, you should have known that I am not the kind of person who likes to listen to flattery.
In the past few days, you have become much more natural, and we can communicate like real friends.
So, why did you suddenly become what you were before?"
While asking, Gawain picked up the wine glass and took a shallow sip.
Opposite him, Cobra pursed his lips leisurely as he watched Gawain's movements.
"Hey, I'm really... really worried!
Although you don’t seem to mind the identity of the young son of the Pirate King, he appeared from my country after all, and he even tried to attack you!”
"Don't!"
Gawain quickly raised his hand and said to the worried Kobra.
"Don't say that, it's not an attack, it's just a small challenge.
As for your country, haha, Ace has nothing to do with your country.
He is a pirate, but he has just recently traveled to your country.
So, don't worry, Kobra."
"Huh, that's it."
Hearing this, Kobra let out a long breath.
Gawain could indeed care less about Ace's identity and what he did when he appeared, but Kobra couldn't care less.
Now that he heard Gawain's explanation, Cobra was relieved.
But after being reassured, Cobra immediately felt a little strange.
"However, Gao Wensheng, how can there be pirates in my country?
After all, our country has a close relationship with Mr. Crocodile, the hero of the Shichibukai!
In the past fourteen years, Mr. Crocodile has almost single-handedly wiped out all the pirates in our Kingdom of Alabasta!
So, how did this son of Roger appear in my country?"
Speaking of this, Cobra quickly waved to call Yin Kalam, and saw him giving instructions to Mr. Guard Officer.
"Yin Kalem, call Crocodile quickly for me.
Is he so involved in the rebellion that he has no time to clean up the pirates who recently landed in Alabasta?"
After hearing the king's words, Yin Kalem nodded quickly.
"I see!"
While he was talking, he took out his phone and started calling.
In less than half a minute, Yin Kalem hung up the phone and returned to Kobra.
"Your Majesty the King, Mr. Crocodile is on the Cortlena Pier. He...he was just staying with the son of Roger.
However, Crocodile did not know that Firefist was Roger's son.
The reason why he temporarily allows Fire Fist to operate in our country is because Fire Fist has been helping our civilians distill sea water for free for the past ten days!"
…
…
…
Before that, on the dock of Cortlena City.
The moment he saw the Black Bird from a distance, Crocodile showed an interesting smile.
As a villain who has hidden himself for more than ten years and always played the role of a hero, Crocodile knows how important the first impression is.
Therefore, after meeting Ace, Crocodile simply stayed at the port that Gawain was destined to pass through.
The first moment he asked Gawain to get off the ship, he saw himself surrounded by civilians and called him a hero.
That way, even if Gawain investigates something later, it will be difficult to truly connect those things with him!
With this idea in mind, when the Black Bird approached, he was already ready to greet it!
As for why he dared to greet Gawain as a pirate?
Because Crocodile was a Shichibukai, he concluded that there were three Gawain from the Shichibukai on board, and at worst they would not yell at him to kill him.
However, his conclusion changed a little bit from the moment Ace rushed towards the Black Bird!
In order to maintain his image as a hero, he has been trying hard to maintain his friendship with Ace in the eyes of civilians these days!
As a result, Ace actually attacked the Celestial Dragons!
!
However, after seeing the fact that Ace's attack failed and was captured by Rayleigh with one move, Crocodile felt relieved.
First of all, Ace did not succeed in his attack. Secondly, it would be good to use this opportunity and Gawain's identity to get rid of Ace who has been sabotaging his drought plan!
The days that Ace stayed in Cortlena attracted countless people to flock to Cortlena. Even the original rebels, after knowing that Cortlena had distilled water that could keep people alive.
All their thoughts of rebellion disappeared!
In this world of Alabasta, if it was not really impossible to survive, how many people would raise a flag against the usually benevolent King Kobra?
In short, Crocodile is annoying Ace to death. If he can get rid of Ace with Gawain's hand, it will be a good result for him.
Thinking this way, Crocodile looked at the Black Bird with more and more relaxed eyes.
But then, the relaxed Crocodile received a call from the guard captain Yin Kalem.
The phone call lasted just half a minute, when Crocodile put the phone in his pocket.
There is no trace of relaxation on his face!
I saw him gritting his teeth hard and exhaling heavily.
"Damn it, that Ace is actually the son of Roger, the Pirate King!
How can this be!
The photo of me and that guy working together to distill water to save civilians is about to be spread throughout Alabasta by Baroque Works!
If others see Ace and I holding hands..."
Having said this, Crocodile took a long puff of cigar depressedly.
"It's bad, I'm about to become the evil accomplice of the Son of the Pirate King!"
