"Let me go and see what's going on." Smoker said to Annan.
"And you?"
"I haven't eaten for a long time, so I won't go." Annan pointed to the door and said, following the direction Annan pointed, the waiter came in carrying dishes.
"Besides, Alabasta is a completely independent country. The vicious incidents that occur here are handled by their official personnel. I can't get involved in the navy."
"Okay then, call me if you have any questions."
Smoker grabbed the ten hands placed on the dining table, stood up and left.
"By the way, this meal is yours. Don't forget to pay the bill when you go out!"
Annan shouted to Smoker who stepped out of the door.
After a while, Annan heard a loud noise outside.
At the same time, a pillar of fire suddenly rose outside the window, with billowing white smoke wrapped around the pillar of fire.
"Oh, fireworks during the day." Annan looked out the window.
"White smoke is Smog, fire is..."
"Major Annan!"
Another marine rushed in.
"Colonel Smoker asked me to tell you that Fire Fist Ace has appeared in Alabasta!"
…………
After the flames and smoke entangled each other several times, they dispersed from each other.
"You guy..."
Smoker put his hands on his shoulders, biting his cigar with a serious look on his face.
"You should give up. You are the 'smoke' and I am the 'fire'. There is no difference between you and me." Ace opened the five fingers of his left hand and flames emerged around him.
"Captain of the Second Division of the Whitebeard Pirates, why are you in this country? Portcas D. Ace."
"I told you, I'm looking for my brother." Ace grinned.
"Your brother?" Smoker looked behind Ace. The straw hat boy he had been chasing was escaping from his sight.
"I'm not interested in your head, but I am a navy and you are a pirate. Only this identity has not changed for a day..." As he said this, a large amount of smoke came out of Smoker's hand again.
"What a boring excuse."
A wall of fire rose from the spot, and Ace's figure disappeared in front of everyone.
"Did you escape?" Smoker looked at the figure that disappeared in the flames, "Annan was really right."
"Mr. Smoker!"
Dasqi ran to Smoker holding the knife.
"I'm very sorry, we couldn't catch up with the Straw Hats, and Mr. 11 who was left on the ship was killed by someone unknown."
"Alabasta is very big, and once it is lost, it is difficult to find it again." Smoker sat on a broken wall, biting a cigar and said, "Now that I think about it, there is another annoying person in this country.
Guy."
"Is it Crocodile? But in terms of position, he is an ally of our navy." Dasqi asked confused.
"He has been a cruel and crazy pirate from the beginning. How could he obediently obey the instructions of the World Government?" Smoker sneered.
"Dasi Qi, please remember this!" Smoker stood up and looked forward.
"A pirate... will always be a pirate!"
"Pirates can never be trusted, which is why I invited Annan over, but then again..."
Smoker looked around and said, "Where's Annan? I clearly sent someone to tell him, but why didn't I see him?"
"Major Annan said that fighting here can easily affect innocent people, and he is going to find a place with few people to catch the pirates."
"So he has already gone after Ace. It's rare to see him be so active." Smoker exhaled smoke, "But that straw hat boy is actually the younger brother of Fire Fist Ace... It's really surprising."
Coast of Alabasta.
"Luffy, take this." Ace threw a life card to Luffy. "You have to carry this with you forever!"
"What, it's just a note."
"Yes, this note can help us meet again next time."
"Ah, you are leaving so soon? Aren't you going to see my partner?"
"I won't go up."
Ace looked up at the crew members on the Golden Melly and smiled.
"I have a stupid younger brother. The elder brother is very worried. There is nothing you can do about him, right?"
"Stay a little longer." Luffy begged.
"You have your adventure."
Ace waved his hand.
"The next time we meet, it will be at the peak of pirates!"
After watching the Straw Hats leave, Ace turned around and faced Annan, who had already appeared behind him.
"Not at the highest peak, you can meet in the prison of Impel Down City."
Annan held an unknown grilled fish in his hand and said to Ace.
"Send you to prison now, and the sea will be calm in the future."
"Really? I'm not that capable, Navy."
Ace held the brim of his hat and smiled at Annan.
"Hey, I recognized it." Annan threw the grilled fish on the ground, took out a navy cap and put it on his head.
"Then I won't pretend anymore. I am Lieutenant Commander of the Navy Headquarters, August Annan, and I have been ordered to come and arrest you."
