"ah?"

Ace never expected that this strange ghost companion next to his brother would come to him and say something like this.

He stared at the other party with a look of knowledge, and said seriously: "Whether I am his opponent or not does not affect me as the captain. I must catch the bastard who killed my companions and deal with this matter."

"B.I.B" was silent.

I knew this would be the result.

Doesn't Ace know that Teach is very strong?

After being a companion on the ship for so long, how could this kid not sense that Teach was hiding something so secretly?

But he came anyway.

Just like Luffy knew that the Shichibu Kaisha Crocodile was a very powerful opponent but still stood up.

Ace raised his finger and pushed the brim of his hat, and said with a smile: "Although I don't know you, but thank you for your concern. If you also told Luffy, and after he heard about it, he wanted to step in to help me... Then please do it for me

Let me punch him!"

"..."

Just when Fire Fist stepped on the one-man flame boat and was about to start jetting away, "B.I.B" gave him one last piece of advice: "The essence of the ability of the Dark Fruit is 'gravity'."

"...?!"

Hey, Ace stepped on the flame boat and turned around in surprise to look at the black shadow suspended in mid-air.

The other party's narrow eyes shimmered, staring at him deeply, and slowly said: "Not only can it swallow matter like a black hole, but... it can also attract the devil fruit factor in the body of the esper. In other words, he can make you

The ability to burn fruits is invalidated.』

Ace's expression changed several times, "I probably understand why he insists on this fruit..." He was stunned in place for a moment.

"B.I.B" said this, turned around and flew back to the direction of the Meili.

On the way, I glanced back and could vaguely see Ace's freckled face, gradually showing a slightly ferocious angry look...

But after all, it’s just a Devil Fruit! Tikki, if you want it so much, you can ask for it! Why don’t you say a word and even kill your companions?!

Or, you bastard, have never regarded anyone as a partner?

Boom!!!

The single-person boat spewed huge waves of flames from behind and sped away in the blink of an eye.

"B.I.B" was speechless, it knew that when things developed to this point, it would be almost impossible to stop Ace.

Unless the encounter between Blackbeard and the Dark Fruit can be prevented. Otherwise, as soon as that guy gets the Dark Fruit, regardless of whether he kills his companions or not, as long as Blackbeard dares to run away, Ace will definitely dare to chase him. He must ask clearly.

It's just that Blackbeard killed someone and then ran away. When Fire Fist found him, he was even angrier and more determined.

This is like Usopp in the Straw Hats suddenly cutting Chopper with a knife one day and running away. At this time, he wants to stop Luffy from finding Usopp to settle the score?

Pull it down!

"B.I.B" floated back to the Merry, and Luffy and others were listening to Vivi show her determination. Seeing it coming back, Luffy asked curiously: "Blackie, what did you tell Ace?"

Robin raised his head and saw "B.I.B"'s helmet condensing in the air, and said calmly: "I don't think he can beat the person he wants to catch, so I want to persuade him to turn back."

"Isn't this terrible?" Usopp sweated after hearing this, "If you can't beat him, it will be very dangerous!"

Sanji, Zoro, and Chopper looked at Luffy, "Should we help your brother?"

"Forget it!" Luffy said with a smile, "Ace has his own adventure. Besides, he is much more powerful than me. If I help him because I am worried about him, I will definitely get beaten by him."

"He said, if Luffy wants to help me, punch him for me..."

After "B.I.B" finished speaking, the helmet gradually disappeared in the air.

"Think of it together, you are really brothers..." Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, and Chopper were all ashamed. Luffy laughed loudly, waved his hand and said: "Anyway, let's set off too!"

The Mellie soon set sail and headed to the oasis Chiefba to find the rebel base camp.

"B.I.B"'s narrow eyes shimmered, looking at the sea where Ace was leaving from a distance. Although it reminded Ace of the ability of the Dark Fruit,... the effect is probably very limited!

After all, in the comics, Ace listened to Blackbeard himself and learned about the general abilities of the Dark Fruit not long after the battle began.

Ace didn't lose because of poor intelligence, he simply couldn't beat him.

"Don't you really want Luffy's brother to find Marshall D. Teach?" Robin asked next to him.

Of course she still remembered that Blackbeard, whom Luffy's brother said killed his companions, was the man Lynch wanted to kill on Whitebeard's ship.

"B.I.B" folded his arms and said calmly: "I'm here now, so I'd rather give it a try."

Robin was speechless.

Over there, Nami and Vivi waved to her. After Robin passed by, he found that they were studying how to march in the desert after landing later.

Robin listened for a while, then took out the green phone bug from the small bag at his waist, "Let Xiaolu help."

Nami's eyes lit up, she hugged Robin's arm affectionately, and said happily: "Sister Robin! It's great to have you here!"

"I do not want!"

When we got off the boat, we were faced with the endless desert in front of us. The climate was hot, dry and exposed to the sun.

After hearing the plan of rushing, Luffy refused directly, folding his arms with a look of reluctance, "Anyway, someone must be holding the green boy outside and walking in the desert under the sun, right? In this case, it's better to be hot

Let’s all warm up together!”

The partners were very moved by this speech about sharing the joys and sorrows.

With tears in her eyes, Nami looked at Vivi's shocked eyes and punched Luffy.

Nami said speechlessly: "You idiot! The key point is to save fresh water! If a bunch of people are basking in the sun in the desert, they will soon drink up all the fresh water!"

Robin glanced at Chopper, who was already so hot that he was almost smoking because of his thick fur, and suggested: "How about taking turns holding the little green outside in the desert while the others replenish their strength in the castle?

?”

Zoro readily agreed, "No objection, I'll be the first to do it!"

"You have no right to wander around alone outside!" Sanji and Usopp punched the green algae head at the same time, "You are such a fool, do you want to take us back to the East China Sea?"

Zoro covered his head with questions, why did he say that to him?

Luffy puffed up his head and raised his fists: "Then let's... set off..."

"I'll take the castle phone bug outside first!" Weiwei said with a smile, "After all, I'm more accustomed to the desert environment."

Sanji said courteously: "I will make a special drink for you to relieve the heat in the castle, Weiwei~~!! Of course, there will also be Miss Nami and Sister Robin~~"

"Hey! Where are we?" Usopp said with a knife in his hand.

Sanji said: "Can you just drink some tap water?"

At this time, Chopper twitched his blue nose, turned around in surprise, and saw Robin standing there, not following the others.

Luffy asked strangely: "Robin, Blackie, what's wrong with you?"

Robin looked to another place in the distance and said calmly: "You go find the rebels... I am personally more interested in what Crocodile is planning in this country. So I want to investigate on my own."

Nami quickly brought Xiaolu and wanted to return it to Robin, "Sister Robin, you are more dangerous alone. This is still you, Sister Robin -"

Nami grew an arm on her arm and stopped her. "There are more of you, so you need more food in the castle." Robin looked back briefly and nodded to a few people, "Don't worry about me. - Chopper, you too

Follow them. Aren't you most afraid of heat? It's more comfortable to stay in Xiaolu's castle. If you follow me, you will get heatstroke..."

"I'm a doctor, I'm not afraid of heat stroke." Chopper wanted to catch up with Robin.

Robin said: "Be good." He stretched out a hand and touched Chopper's forehead, pushing it back towards Luffy and the others.

After waving his hand, Robin gradually walked away in the other direction.

Of course, in Luffy's eyes, Black Boy was as usual, accompanying Robin around like a black-armored knight, gradually drifting away.

"Robin..." Chopper murmured as he watched her go away.

A gust of wind from the desert blew past, robbing the robes of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Nami's hair was flying and she said to herself: "I always feel like Sister Robin will never come back once she leaves..."

"What are you talking about, Nami? Didn't Robin say she was going to investigate?" Luffy glanced at her in confusion, turned around and walked away happily, "Let's leave quickly!"

"Wait! Luffy!" Sanji and the others chased after him and said angrily, "We've already agreed to hide in the Telephone Bug Castle and take turns to rest, right?"

Several people walked away noisily, disappeared on the sand dunes one by one, and entered the little green body.

…

"What are you still looking at?"

Robin walked forward alone and pulled back his hair that was blown by the wind and sand.

"B.I.B" withdrew his gaze and floated up from behind, "Look at that poor little thing."

"..." Robin turned to ask, "Do you think what Crocodile is plotting in this country is related to the historical text?"

"Maybe!"

"B.I.B" folded his arms and drifted with him, "Just go and ask and you will know."
