……

"Stop it! Ace, calm down, Daddy said this is a special case! No need to chase Teach!"

"Let me go, that guy is my subordinate, if I let him go, how will the killed Sachi rest in peace!"

"Ace, forget it...just this time! I have an ominous feeling"

"That guy hurt his companions and ran away. You, my father, have taken care of him for decades! But you have completely lost face!"

"……"

"The most important thing is, he has damaged your reputation, Dad. How can I just sit back and do nothing?"

"……"

"I'm going to settle the score with him!"

……

"Hey, Ace, how long do you want to lie down?"

……

"Ace, the meat is about to be eaten up! Hurry up!"

……

"Ace!"

……

"……"

Ace, who was lying in the hammock, opened his eyes suddenly.

What caught his eye was an unfamiliar cabin roof.

I'm not dead...

Qin Lang didn't kill me...

Ace turned his head and saw a familiar figure on the side, secretly taking the little meat left on the plate and stuffing it into his mouth;

"Ah, ah, the meat Qin Lang and Sanji prepared for Ace is so delicious!"

There was also a little raccoon cat on the side who kept stopping him:

"Luffy! Don't eat any more, this is recovery food for the sick, you ate it all!"

Luffy, I never thought I would be alive to see you again."

Ace couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, sat up and smiled evilly at Luffy:

"Hey, Luffy, are you stealing my flesh? Don't you deserve a beating?"

Luffy shook his head violently with a guilty conscience:

"Ah, no! Chopper ate them all! Huh?"

Luffy raised his head belatedly and was surprised to find that Ace was awake:

"

" Haha , Ace! You finally woke up, come eat the meat!"

Before Ace could react, Luffy quickly stuffed five or six pieces of meat into his mouth.

"Woohoo! Cough cough……"

Ace had meat stuck in his throat, his eyes rolled back, and he almost choked to death on the meat in his mouth

"Ahhhhh! Luffy, stop being so annoying! Ace is going to choke to death!"

Chopper panicked and slapped Ace on the back, saving Ace's life.

Ace swallowed the meat with difficulty, turned around and pinched Luffy's neck angrily, and said viciously:

"Good boy! You actually want to choke your brother to death! I'll strangle you to death!"

Luffy was strangled by Ace's neck and kept shaking.

He had to ask Chopper for help in a panic:

"I was wrong! Ace! Chopper, save me, save me!"

Chopper covered his head in horror, looking at Luffy who was pinched and sticking out his tongue, and screamed:

"Ahhhh! Luffy is going to be strangled to death. Call the doctor!"

……

The noise from the cabin below reached the deck. Nami, who was reading a newspaper, glanced at Qin Lang who was repainting the Merry with Usopp, and said with a little concern:

"Qin Lang, Ace seems to be awake. Aren't you worried that he will continue to cause trouble for you?

Although he is Luffy's brother, he is also the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates!

If you defeat him, will it cause the Whitebeard Pirates to hold a grudge against you?"

Even Nami, who is far away in the East China Sea, knows something about this strong pirate.

She is worried about the enmity with the Whitebeard Pirates, one of the Four Emperors.

Once the two sides become enemies, with the power of the Whitebeard Pirates, they will probably find them soon.

Weiwei also looked at Qin Lang worriedly and whispered:

"Mr. Pirate, are you really okay? The other party is one of the Four Emperors.……"

Usopp, who was touching up the paint with Qin Lang, held the brush high, straightened his nose and said proudly:

"Humph, you cowards! Even the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates can't beat Qin Lang, what are we afraid of!"

Weiwei added in a low voice:

"Whitebeard, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, is known as the most powerful man in the world. Some people describe him as 'more terrible than a monster' and he can even destroy a large island with his bare hands."

Usopp's nose was visibly bent, and he said weakly to Qin Lang:

"Qin Lang, how about we apologize? As long as the apology is humble enough, the other party probably won't care too much about our nameless pirate group!"

"Usopp, your attitude changes so quickly!"

Qin Lang carefully painted the mast of the Merry and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, Ace is not a stingy pirate. Whitebeard's son must be a hero with a broad mind. Right? Ace!"

"Haha, of course!"

Ace's voice sounded from the deck:

"Haha, don't worry, everyone, I won't care. Dad won't care about such a small matter either."

Ace walked out of the cabin with a big laugh and walked straight towards Qin Lang.

Qin Lang looked at Ace who was walking towards him with a smile.

"Are they going to fight again?"

The others held their breath and watched the two of them.

Boom!

The two faced each other, staring into each other's eyes, and clenched their fists at the same time, burning with flames.

Everyone was shocked when they saw it. Oh no! They are going to fight again!

Sanji's expression froze, and he was ready to rush over.

Zoro drew his sword, trying to separate the two.

Usopp trembled as he faced the mast, pretending that no one could see him.

Chopper turned around in panic.

Nami and Weiwei exclaimed:

"Please, you two, stop fighting!"

Unexpectedly, Qin Lang and Ace stretched out their flaming fists at the same time, just touching each other.

"Haha, Qin Lang, it seems I misunderstood you!"

Ace retracted his fist, hugged Qin Lang who was shorter than him very enthusiastically, and laughed naively:

"Qin Lang, you are different from that bastard Tiqi! You are indeed what Luffy said, a very interesting guy!"

"Ace, you should trust Luffy's judgment."

Qin Lang retracted his fist that was burning with the eternal flame, gently blew out the flame on his fist, and said with a smile:

"But I have to confess that I used the Devil Fruit ability to invade your heart when you were absent-minded, Ace, so that part of your hatred towards Teach was transferred to me. That's why your hatred for me is so great"

"So that's how it is. I just realized something was wrong and I'm still confused as to why I hate you so much."

Ace touched his head in realization and looked at Qin Lang curiously.

"Is this the ability of your innate devil fruit? Can you learn any ability?"

Qin Lang nodded with a smile:

"I used the ability of the innate fruit to use the ability of the whispering fruit. I can learn most abilities."

Seeing that the two of them didn't fight, the Straw Hat crew all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luffy! Didn't we agree to hide Qin Lang's ability? Nami glared at Luffy quietly.

Luffy apologized to Nami with a smile:

"Hehehe, Nami. Ace is not an outsider! He is my eldest brother, so it’s okay to know!"

Ace suddenly smiled and extended an invitation to Qin Lang and said:

"Hey, Qin Lang, do you want to join our Whitebeard Pirates?"

Ace said, turning back to look at Luffy, then glanced at the others, laughing happily:

"Luffy, and everyone, do you want to join our Whitebeard Pirates?"

Qin Lang, Luffy, Sauron, Sanji, Chopper, and Nami shook their heads at the same time:

"don't want!"

Only Usopp nodded blankly, then shook his head in panic again:

"Ah! I want to say no! Damn it, my neck was so sore just now!"

Ace laughed and said:

"Really? I knew you wouldn't agree. I was just saying it casually."

Qin Lang walked to Luffy's side, grabbed the silly captain's face, and said with a smile:

"Hey, Ace, it will be Luffy, not Whitebeard, who will become the Pirate King!"

Zoro and Sanji echoed firmly:

"Yes, it will be Luffy who becomes the Pirate King!"

Luffy grinned and said:

"That's right! I want to become the Pirate King!"

Ace's expression did not change, he jumped on the guardrail of the Meili and laughed:

"Really? Then we'll decide the winner! Then, Luffy! Wear it on your body!"

The paper flew in the air and was caught by Luffy.

Luffy looked at the paper in his hand curiously:

"Hey, what is this?"

Qin Lang stuffed the paper into Luffy's hat:

"This is Ace's life card. To put it simply, you can find Ace's location through its guidance."

Ace looked at Qin Lang with a"you know it" expression, smiled and said to Luffy:

"This piece of paper can help us meet again next time."
