[Chapter serial series·Heart Pirates 30·"The years are quiet"]

[Luo's body needed to recover, so the three of them followed Wolfe's home outside the town. Baby5 wandered around Wolfe's house, which was full of strange inventions and props. Luo used the power of the surgical fruit to help Rosinandi deal with the problems all over his body.

Gunshot wounds and the like... In this way, they temporarily settled on this Petrel Island. There were no pirates, no navy, and of course no Don Quixote family...]——

To the north of Windmill Village is the Corpo Mountain...

In the woods of Mount Corpo, Ace carried his water pipe and continued northward along his usual "practice road."

Along the way, we encountered many ferocious beasts.

Crocodiles, porcupines, wild wolves...

They are all huge types. If Ace is able to defeat him, he will fight with strength. If he is unable to defeat him, he will use his dexterous body skills to fight and defeat the opponent. He will not escape anyway.

"Wow!!"

There was a scream from behind. Ace stopped and turned back angrily: "So, why are you following me?"

Luffy was entangled by a huge vulture from behind, and was pecked until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He angrily stretched out his rubber arms and hugged the vulture. Without much planning, he rounded it up and threw it hard... Bang! Bang! Bang! Vulture

I was stunned by the fall, and felt that it was really strange that this human boy could extend his arms. After thinking for two seconds, he quickly fluttered his wings and retreated.

Huffing and puffing, Luffy gasped and said fearfully: "There are more animals on this road than when I returned to the village, and they are even scarier!"

Regarding Ace's question, he pressed his straw hat and grinned: "What does it matter? Aren't we friends? The person you are looking for, I also want to make friends with him! Hehehe..."

"..." Ace crossed his arms and said calmly, "You are a little better than you were at the beginning. Just a little bit."

Luffy smiled brightly, "Because my mother trained me!"

Ace said nothing and turned back to continue walking north. Luffy trotted away and quickly followed.

Along the way, Luffy kept chirping and annoying Ace, like a little follower.

Ace didn't feel annoyed.

He picked up a rare beetle, and Luffy showed it off to Ace; when he met a colorful python, Luffy was not afraid at all, but the python seemed to be a little close to him... Ace noticed the snake-shaped pendant in this guy's neck.

Then he remembered that there was a big colorful snake next to Luffy's mother. A picture couldn't help but appear on the top of the freckled water pipe boy's head. Luffy and Tulip had shed their human skins, revealing the appearance of snake heads and human bodies...?

After having close interactions with various wild animals in Mount Colpo along the way, Ace was unharmed, Luffy was disgraced, and the two finally walked out of Mount Colpo.

A strong and strange smell rushed towards me, as if the rotten water at the bottom of the garbage dump had been thickened and doubled to fill an entire mountain. The smell lingered in the wind.

"It stinks!"

Luffy looked at the place filled with garbage in front of him with disdain. In the breeze, the garbage mountain exuded a smelly mist that was visible to the naked eye... In the mist, there were faint figures of people moving, and you could also see buildings made of garbage.

room.

"There are people living in a place like this." Luffy was shocked.

As he walked, Ace introduced it as usual: "Further north is the city of the Kingdom of Goa. The people living there discharge all garbage to this 'Uncertain Terminal'. Because of the sunshine, there are always risks here.

There is burning smoke and a stench... But even in a place like this, because many city people don't need it, but the poor regard it as something they can use to survive, so many people live here and pick up garbage as a means of survival.

born."

As the two of them walked, two people sat in the garbage in the mist. They seemed to have heard Luffy's previous exclamation and were looking at him coldly.

"I'm sorry." Luffy apologized, putting his hands on his hips and laughing, "But it really stinks here! It's really hard to live here."

The two passers-by in the garbage mountain didn't know how they felt after hearing this, but they didn't talk to Luffy anymore, got up and left.

"Be careful." Ace said, "This is a real lawless zone. Even children and women may be villains with several lives on their hands. Don't talk to people you don't know casually."

"Oh." Luffy admonished and followed Ace with a smile.

Soon, the two came to a remote corner of the garbage mountain near the woods where there were relatively few people.

Ace approached a tree and whispered to the tree: "Saab, are you there?"

"Oh, Ace." A young man wearing a top hat appeared in a flash, holding a broken water pipe similar to Ace's. "You're finally here. I've already gone to town to 'work', hehe,

I definitely won today!"

Ace raised his head and said, "Sorry, I'm late. Sabo, I have something to talk to you about..."

"Hey, who is this kid behind you?" Sabo squatted on a thick branch and asked in confusion, "What's the matter? I thought you were going to 'work' because you came late. Why did you come here empty-handed?"

Ace smiled and said: "He is the 'thing' I want to talk about."

Luffy pressed his straw hat, looked up with a smile and said, "My name is Luffy, I'm Ace's friend!"

"..." Sabo said, "You're smiling so stupidly... Forget it, my name is Sabo, and I'm also Ace's friend."

A few minutes later, the three teenagers sat together on the thick branch. There was a square hole somewhere in the branch. When you opened the cover covered with grass, you could see the gold, jewelry, and stacks of shells buried in the hole.

Interested banknotes.

Luffy exclaimed: "That's a lot of money! Is this your treasure?"

Sabo trusted Ace very much. Since Ace brought this kid, he didn't shy away from it. He smiled and said: "Yes, the two of us have been saving for five years. One day we will use this money to buy a car."

Ship, go out to sea and become a pirate!"

"Wow, that's great..." Luffy was a little envious and said with a smile, "I will also be a pirate in the future! But I have no money, hehehe."

Sabo smiled politely at Luffy, turned to Ace and complained: "You didn't bring a penny here today, let's go to the town to 'work' together later."

Ace looked at the gold jewelry and banknotes in the tree hole, and said thoughtfully: "I don't want to use these to buy a boat."

"What did you say?" Sabo was surprised and a little angry, "Hey, you seem to be acting weird today! Is it because of this kid?"

"No..." Ace looked steadily at the treasures he and Sabo had accumulated over the past five years, "It's because someone told me a story..."

"Story?" Sabo didn't understand.

"..." Ace was stunned, and finally sighed, "Saab, the sea is too broad!"

Sabo was even more dizzy. Isn't this nonsense?

"And we are too small." Ace muttered to himself, "We can't survive in such a sea just by relying on dreams... So, I want to use this money to become a disciple and make myself stronger first!"

Sabo was shocked, "What happened..."

"Master is this guy's mother." Ace reached out and pinched Luffy's cheek, which was like a normal person, and stretched it, "I came here today because I wanted to invite you to come with me, so that you can come and be trained by that woman.

Bar!"

"His face...?!" Sabo was shocked, "It looks like ramen..."

Ace raised a smile and said, "I'm right, the world is big and the sea is very broad!"

Sabo said in a daze: "Maybe you are right..."

…

"So, the other kid Ace was talking about is you?"

In front of the wooden house on the hillside, three teenagers stood in a row in front of Tulip. A large colorful snake stood at her feet, with her arms folded and she looked down at Sabo.

Sabo took off his hat, revealing his short blond hair, and said politely: "Hello, my name is Sabo, and this is our apprenticeship ceremony."

He kicked a large bag of treasure at his feet.

"However, I have some doubts, are you qualified enough to deserve so much treasure?" The blond boy smiled and looked up at Tulip.

"Hey..." Ace held his forehead. This guy has been hanging out at the terminal for too long. He no longer knows how to greet people normally, right?

When Luffy heard this, he was so frightened that he instinctively moved a little away from Sabo.

Tulip smiled, very beautifully and brightly, and looked at Sabo with squinted eyes, "Very good, Sabo? You are very good..."

Sabo's smiling face froze a little, and he sweated profusely on the back of his head. Did he do something wrong?

That night, Sabo fell to the ground with a bruised and swollen face, and said to himself unwillingly: "I...can't even beat one of her snakes..."

In front of Sabo was the pet snake that Tulip had raised since childhood, which was also a fighting partner and a portable weapon. He was holding the snake's head high and hissing at the disgraced Sabo, as if laughing at him. Tulip accepted Sabo's challenge.

Then a finger flicked on the forehead of the rushing boy who was a water pipe, sending the latter flying away from the hillside... Luffy was fine, but Ace was immediately dumbfounded, thinking that Sabo had been killed directly.

Sabo came back dejected, already knowing that he was wrong, but Tulip pretended not to hear it, and didn't want to let the kid go like this, so he released his own war snake to educate him, so the current scene happened...

Ace and Luffy ate their dinner in silence, mentally lighting a candle for Sabo.

And Tulip was sitting leisurely on a wooden chair in front of the house, sipping a glass of wine, crossing her legs, dusting off her long skirt, "How about it, handsome boy, am I worthy of you?"

"..." Ace and Luffy ate in sync while looking at Sabo who was jumping in front of Orochi with a little worry. This is a good opportunity, give in quickly, don't be impulsive!

Sabo stood up with a bruised nose and a swollen face. He walked toward Tulip with a serious face. Even though his nose was bruised and swollen, Sabo couldn't be serious and walked towards Tulip. When Ace and Luffy wanted to rush over and drag him back, they saw Sabo kneeling down respectfully and kowtow.

, clapped his hands and apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, I was rude." After saying that, he patted his trouser legs and stood up, walked back to sit between Luffy and Ace with a Buddhist look, and snatched the bowls from Ace and Luffy's hands.

, poured the rest together, and ate it with a slurp.

Ace and Luffy were speechless the whole time. Why are they trying to steal our food?!

"Hehehe..."

Tulip stood up with a smile and returned to the room leaving a message, "Start training tomorrow."

"Oh!" Sabo, who was snoring while eating, raised a fist and was punched by Luffy and Sabo. "Go and serve yourself! Mom (aunt) left a portion for you!"
