At the distant sea level, a red sun is gradually crawling out little by little under the horizon.
At this time, the naval headquarters, Marinfando, which was illuminated by red, was a huge naval fortress located in one of the three cities within the range of the vortex current. So far, 100,000 elite naval forces equipped with war have been successfully gathered, and they are all general-level officers wearing white robes of justice.
Now, there are only a few hours left before Portkas D. Ace's public execution.
In order to deal with the attack that the Whitebeard Pirates will definitely come, or so, in order to deal with the super war that will definitely happen, the Navy Warring States Marshal at the headquarters, in addition to gathering 100,000 elite troops to wait for the effort, there are three generals, fourteen lieutenant generals, several major generals, and a group of members of the Seven Warriors under the King. The lineup is gorgeous and the preparation is sufficient!
Similarly, the Whitebeard Pirates and its forty-three Pirates have a total of dozens of ships transferred from the New World, a large number of powerful pirates, and the rock-solid family pirate team also began to appear around the Marine Marinfando waters, from time to time, declaring their presence and touching the navy's already tense heartstrings.
Fortunately, although the storm is almost brewing, there is still a little time before the real outbreak node, so both sides are still relatively restrained for the time being and have not fought in a real sense regardless of the situation. Even if both sides actually know that they will fight sooner or later.
This is just a temporary calm. What is coming will come eventually, just like the rising sun will eventually rise to a high altitude, and no one can stop it.
So, no matter how calm the weather is now, anyone knows that a century-old storm that affects the whole world is about to blow, and there is still an unknown difference between victory and loss.
“…”
At this time, when the morning light gradually shone on the deck of the Sunny's lawn deck, and when most of the crew finally began to return to their respective posts and became busy, Luffy had already stood on the dew-dropped deck lawn, supporting the guardrail along the ship towards the Navy headquarters for a long time.
Even if he couldn't see anything about the island at the Navy headquarters, and he didn't even have a contour, he still stared stubbornly in that direction, and his hands holding the guardrail and his fingernails were unconsciously pinching them into the wood.
As time gets closer, he is getting nervous and irritable, and he wishes he can fly to Marinfando now!
but……
Luffy himself actually knew that it was not possible now and the time was not yet up. He had to wait a little longer and wait a little longer!
"Luffy!"
?(?﹏?,)?
"Didn't you say it's noon?"
(°〼°〃)
"It's morning now. How early did you smash the door and ask someone to get up and do what?"
(°~°〃)
Looking at the red sun in the sky, I felt that it was only around seven o'clock in the morning at most. Thinking about the fact that I was awakened by the guy who had become a little nervous at the door at around six o'clock, Annie complained and scolded her in a low voice.
If she hadn't known that the other party was in a bad mood, if she hadn't known that the other party was nervous and anxious now, she would have been as simple as complaining.
perhaps……
Will she tie the other person's feet with a cable, then throw the other person directly into the sea, and then drag the speeding Sunny away?
(…)
(●￣(?)￣●)
“…”
"Anne..."
"Do you know?"
However, Luffy ignored Anne's complaints and just began to slowly talk:
"When I was a child, my grandfather was once very angry when he knew my ambition to be a pirate, but in the end he sent me to the care of the evil and selfish old woman, Aunt Kali. It was also from then on that time that I met Ace..."
"At the beginning, that guy Ace has never liked me very much..."
Regardless of whether the naughty child was listening carefully, Luffy just started to recall and talk while recalling it, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.
At that time, he and Ace ran wildly among the mountains, forests and fields all day long, and liked to fight each other to improve their respective combat abilities, laying the foundation for a powerful pirate now. Although Luffy never beat Ace and Sabo at that time?
He still remembered that they were together, playing together, having dinner, fighting together, poking hornet's nests together, and peeping at the beautiful ladies in the village to take a bath. Then, after being caught by the old lady Aunt Kali, she was beaten up inexplicably, etc.
For many years, Luffy has never thought that there was anything wrong with watching girls take a bath, and he didn't know why he was beaten.
Anyway, just like when he looked at the slave pattern on the other party’s back in Han Cook’s bedroom on Jiushe Island, the girl’s body, in addition to being smoother, weaker, more rounder and whiter, there seems to be nothing to be rare, and there is also two more cumbers of troublesome fat, which will definitely get in the way when fighting. What’s so good about it?
“…”
As he spoke, Luffy stopped and began to fall into deep thought. The smile on his face became even more. He looked stupid, but he didn't know what he was thinking about.
However……
"Ah~!"
?(?′0`?)?
At this time, a naughty child beat him out of time and stretched his body, breaking Luffy's thoughts that had finally come to light.
"It's so early, I'm still a little sleepy..."
(っ?-?)
Annie began to rub her eyes. As for what Luffy said just now, she listened to it, it was a matter of opinion.
“Eh?”
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"The ships over there are just hot white bearded ships, right?"
(?ε?′)
At this time, Anne seemed to see that in the distance, several ships appeared at sea level. The other party's direction was similar to theirs, but they were sailing slanted. There seemed to be a big white cross-bearded skeleton printed on the other party's sail?
“!!”
“Where is there?”
Hearing Anne say that, Luffy hurriedly put his hand on his forehead and looked at him.
"Yes!"
"That's right! Just that flag, there's no mistake!"
"That's the Whitebeard's fleet!"
Finally, when the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, and after thoroughly seeing the emblem of the huge white-bearded pirates on the sail, Luffy clenched his fists excitedly and waved them.
Now he can finally feel relieved, because the Whitebeard's fleet is indeed here!
At that time, if a white-bearded man goes to fight the navy and attracts attention, it will definitely be much easier for him to rescue Ace.
So, although he never had much favoritism towards Whitebeard, Luffy now only felt that the other party suddenly became particularly friendly.
Anyway, their goals are now consistent, at least for the time being?
"That……"
(,,??.??,,)
"Do we need to go over and say hello to them?"
?＼?('ω')?/?
Anne suddenly suggested.
Of course, she had no other intentions. She just wanted to see if the beard of the white-bearded pirate looked very distinctive as printed on the other party's sail?
(…)
(￢?￢.)
"No!"
"Let's just avoid it."
“Dibaru!”
It is rare that Luffy, who never likes to use his brain, frowned and thought for a while. Then, he shouted at Dibaru on the side.
"yes!"
"Left full rudder!"
"hurry up!"
Dibaru also saw a fleet of several ships of the Whitebeard Pirates. So, knowing what Luffy meant, he quickly waved and ordered. Soon, under the control of the helmsman, the Sunny turned a lightly bend, gradually moving away from the Whitebeard fleet in the distance, heading towards the front that tried to avoid intersecting the other party's course.
"Why?"
!(;?o?)o
"Will it be better if you go with them?"
(∩'ヮ'=????)??
Annie doesn't know whether it's good or not, but anyway, she only knows that if she doesn't lean over now, she will not be able to see the white bearded beard.
"no!"
"I don't know if Whitebeard is there too, and..."
Luffy's face was tight, which was completely different from his usual hilarious expression.
"I don't know Whitebeard or other Whitebeard captains, and I'm not sure what their attitude towards us is, so I'd better not have any trouble."
After all, the sun is getting higher and there are only a few hours left before Ace is publicly executed. He must not do anything at this time. Moreover, the white-bearded man must be making various preparations for the next battle. The other party must not have time, or the mood to pay attention to him, and he will lean over rashly, and he may be attacked or something.
"So that?"
⊙﹏⊙‖∣°
"Oh well!"
ε=(′ο｀*))) Alas
Anyway, there are still a few hours left, and sooner or later I will see that white-bearded person, so after thinking about it, Anne did not persist too much.
"Let's go!"
"Annie, let's go to the kitchen and have something to eat!"
Finally, he looked at the fleet of the Whitebeard Pirates that were getting farther and farther away. Luffy suddenly slapped his high fives and then planned to have another big meal.
“!!”
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"You still eat it? Haven't you just eaten it?"
(°〼°〃)
Breakfast, something very rare for Anne, she had eaten it just now, although it wasn't very rich?
"Then eat a little more, and you will have the energy to fight after you are full!"
"That's what it's decided!"
As he said that, Luffy stopped caring about Annie and turned around hatefully, left the lawn deck, and ran quickly towards the kitchen.
“…”
(lll￢▽￢)
But Anne didn't follow him.
She could see that Luffy must be nervous, so he needed to use food to relieve his emotions. Of course, eating more fullness is indeed beneficial to fight and sleep.
"Then I'll go and sleep for a while!"
?(?′0`?)?
"Just wait until you get to the place and wake them up."
?(￣??)???
Just let the fool Luffy eat his early breakfast, while Anne just slept with her own. Anyway, she would definitely not be in a hurry.
"ah?"
"that……"
"An, Queen Anne, it's time to go to this point, can you still sleep?"
At this time, Dibaru, who was standing beside him, asked strangely.
You know, let alone now, even last night, they couldn't sleep well. When they thought of going to the Navy Headquarters to fight at noon today, their hearts were getting up and down, so where could they fit in their eyes?
That kind of terrible thing is not a joke. If one is not good, maybe they will no longer have to worry about not having time to sleep or whether they can close their eyes.
"Why can't you sleep?"
(???.???)??????
"The weather is so good, the boat is still shaking, like a cradle, so it's so good to sleep!"
??(′??`)???
"I won't tell you anymore, goodbye!"
(*?′?`?)
After making a face, Annie turned around and jumped towards the girl's room, regardless of what Dibaru and others were thinking.
“…”
“…”
On the deck, Dibaru, Xiaoba and others looked at me and I looked at you, a little speechless.
...
When the Sunny discovered the Whitebeard's fleet and turned and moved in another direction, a strong pirate holding a telescope on a ship of the Whitebeard's fleet in the distance was also carefully observing the situation on the Sunny.
"Dad!"
"The one over there seems to be the ship of the straw hat pirate Luffy who made a big fuss in the city yesterday."
After seeing the Sunny turn, the strong pirate put down his telescope in disappointment, then walked to a strong old man with a white beard with a crescent moon-shaped and upward bent on his face and reported loudly.
"oh?"
"It's him..."
Hearing his son's words, the old man finally opened his eyes and glanced curiously in the direction of the Sunny.
"Dad!"
"Do you need to send someone to call them over to gather?"
"Although that Straw Hat Luffy is of average strength, the other party's crew and that naughty child are very remarkable!"
The captain asked with emotion and eagerness.
Now, who in this world doesn’t know the famous name of the ‘naughty kid’ pirate Anne Hasta?
Attacking the Tianlong people, defeating the navy, beating the navy generals and defeating the scientific forces of the navy, not long ago, he made a big fuss and pushed the city forward and was able to escape unscathed. The bounty was as high as 5.55 billion, and I believe that it will soon exceed the 5.5648 million yuan of the former One Piece King Roger, which is hundreds of millions higher than their father's 5.46 million yuan, which makes him very admired and admired, and he really wants to meet the other party.
“No need!”
"snort……"
"It is not difficult to guess from the fact that they dare to raid and push the city. Their purpose should be the same as ours."
"There is not much time now, so there is no need to go to the Dramas, so let's continue to act according to the plan!"
"go!"
"Travel, let all captains be in place in time and no mistakes are allowed!"
Without hesitation, the old man with a crescent moon-shaped face waved his hand and rejected his son's proposal.
As he said just now, he believed that by then, the straw hat Luffy and the naughty kid would definitely appear. They just need to do their own things well, and there is no need to worry about not seeing those "friendly troops" whose purpose is exactly the same as theirs.
“!!”
"yes!"
He stood attentively with his legs together, and then the strong pirate quickly went to the cabin to make a message.
“…”
"Hey!"
"A naughty kid?"
After pondering for a while, he finally glanced at the Sunny, which was gradually moving away from the sky. Then, the old man with a white beard with a crescent moon-shaped beard on his face didn't say much, but just continued to sit in his own position and closed his eyes and rested.
“Hmph…”
"It's time to teach the Navy a lesson!"
"Let them know..."
"This sea is not entirely up to them!"
