Chapter 643 The romance of a man(1/2)
This somewhat familiar roar made the four Aces look at each other. Unexpectedly, the green pepper had just been defeated by them and met Luffy in the blink of an eye.
Although they all felt that the young Luffy would not be the opponent of the old-era strongman who could stand up to Ace just now, Qingjiao's proud cone-head was knocked back after being beaten by Ace.
After losing the most powerful cone head, plus the battle with Ace, although it could not be seen at the time, there must be a lot of injuries on the body, coupled with the poor recovery ability common among the elderly.
Green Pepper in that state might really be defeated by Luffy, or if not, he would definitely be defeated by Luffy.
Although Ace has always said that Luffy is not as good as him, Ace also knows that until he really shows his opponent's trump card, he really can't defeat that brat Luffy.
In addition, using the means of awakening Devil Fruit abilities and entangling the domineering aura of the Overlord, this is Ace's way of venting his anger and anger. Even if he does not use all his strength and just fights the enemy normally, Green Pepper may not be Ace's opponent.
Qingjiao is different from the one who was able to force Garp to hone his armament and domineering power a few decades ago. He has been depressed for decades, and his strength has stagnated and even continued to retreat.
Coupled with being defeated by the younger generation one after another, and encountering such things in his family, today's Qingjiao, even if he returns to his cone-headed state, the strength he can show is far less than when he was young.
Moreover, Qingjiao is good at physical attacks, while Luffy, as a rubber man, is not strong in other aspects, but his ability to take beatings and resist blows is quite outstanding.
Therefore, the few of them were not worried at all that Luffy would be defeated. Even though Luffy was not as experienced as Qingjiao, there was still a strong man like Abel who had been exploring the sea for many years.
Even worse, Luffy was staying with Sabo at this time. Ace had experienced Sabo's physical skills and armed haki two years ago. Sabo's physical skills and armed haki were not inferior to Pony's.
.
And because there are more actual combats, Saab's actual combat experience is far beyond that of all his peers. In this regard, Ace, who came from an "academic school", even after going through the New World campaign in the past two years, dare not catch up with Saab.
Therefore, even if there is a battle, Ace firmly believes that Luffy and Sabo are fine, but this is not a problem.
The problem is that this is Totland. Katakuri said he wouldn't take action against Ace and the others, but he didn't say he wouldn't take action against others.
Luo reacted the fastest and immediately looked at Katakuri. However, Katakuri, who was originally talking to Mihawk, had no change in his expression and seemed not to care about this matter.
And the reason was that Mihawk listened to the shouts from far away and said: "Aren't you going to stop it?"
Katakuri's mouth surrounded by a scarf chewed, and after swallowing the food, he said: "Does the red-haired person think what he did in Marinefando was stupid?"
"Silly, very stupid."
Mihawk also raised his glass and took a sip. The youthful drink made him frown slightly. Is this called wine? I'm afraid only Skyler's taste would like to drink it, right?
Then he put down the cup, not wanting to drink anymore, but asked: "Then you just let those young people fool around? You are indeed not as stupid as Shanks."
But you’re not so sensible as to let young people trample on your Totland face, right?”
Katakuri raised his hand, with his palm facing upwards, and his five fingers pointing to the sky. The fingers that were originally with distinct knuckles were now like five rice cakes, and then said:
"It's easy to solve, as long as Totland has such activities, isn't it enough?"
Hearing this, Mihawk nodded, then looked at the guests approaching over there and said, "Yes, if it was just a tea party, it would be too boring.
By the way, out of politeness, I should pay Charlotte Lingling a visit, right?"
Katakuri was not surprised when he heard Mihawk say such words. After all, two years ago, after the War on the Top, everyone in the Shichibukai except Haku participated in the post-war banquet.
Although Katakuri did not tell anyone the news of his mother's resurrection, Mihawk was known to have a pair of eyes that could see through everything. He guessed this, and Katakuri was not surprised at all.
Katakuri nodded and said: "Of course, by the way, how about my sisters? Do you have any one you like? I can help you introduce them."
Seeing Katakuri say such words with a serious face, even Mihawk couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes and mouth twice, then shook his head and said:
"I didn't come to Totland for this kind of thing."
Hearing this, Katakuri raised his head and glanced at Perona, who looked confused and was secretly surprised because she heard the incredible information. She seemed to have thought of something and said:
"Moriah? I do have some information about him."
"What?! Really?"
Perona, who was originally confused, woke up instantly, with stars in her eyes, looking at Katakuri, Katakuri nodded and said: "Well, the Beast Pirates, I purchased a batch some time ago.
vessel.
However, an accident occurred during the transportation of one of the ships. Not only did the ship fail to arrive, but even the crew of the Beast Pirates who transported the ship were no longer heard from."
Perona frowned and wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to speak to Katakuri. After all, compared to Mihawk, Katakuri was a very fierce uncle in her eyes.
She just asked out of excitement, but now, Perona was a little afraid to speak. Mihawk saw Perona's worry, took the topic and asked:
"Are you sure it was Moria who did it? There are so many surprises in the new world, so it may not be him, right?"
"I am very concerned about the whereabouts of the ships I sell. If it cannot reach the user, I will usually help recover it. Guess why I can always recover it?"
After Katakuri finished speaking, Mihawk nodded. Although he didn't answer, Mihawk had already guessed that it was nothing more than a pointer made of a magnet.
Mihawk smiled and asked: "But you didn't do this because the client is the Beasts Pirates?"
Katakuri also nodded very bluntly and said: "Yes, because the client is the Beast Pirates."
"So what does this have to do with Moria?"
"Because the whereabouts of the lost ship were very strange. They were all in some post-war battlefields. There were post-war battlefields between the coalition countries and the revolutionary army. There were also places where the navy killed pirates, and Punk Hassad also went there."
After listening to what Katakuri said, Mihawk also frowned. There were not many people in this sea who would do this. They were either newcomers who believed there were treasures on the battlefield, or they had special purposes.
Of course, Mihawk quickly ruled out the former. After all, someone who could silently rob a ship from the Beast Pirates was not a naive newcomer.
Then there is only the latter. What is there on the battlefield after the war? It is nothing but corpses.
How many people in this sea are interested in these corpses? Moria, the shadow fruit capable person, is undoubtedly the one who is most interested.
But it is not completely certain that it is Moriah. After all, if Blackbeard really killed Moriah, then it is very possible that after two years, this fruit will be obtained by a lucky person in the new world.
However, Mihawk still decided to follow this clue to investigate. He looked at Katakuri and asked: "How should I find this ship?"
"After the tea party, I will give you the corresponding pointer."
Katakuri took another donut, stuffed it into his mouth surrounded by a scarf, and chewed it. Perona stamped her feet eagerly and said:
"Why do you have to wait until the tea party is over? Can't you give it now?"
Hearing this, Katakuri shook his head and said: "This matter is of no benefit to me. My relationship with you is not good enough to give you a gift."
"Ha~"
Mihawk chuckled lightly and said: "What a pity. Originally, I planned to order a ship from you, but now it seems..."
Hearing Mihawk's words, Katakuri crossed his legs and said, "I am a shipbuilder here, not a coffin maker. Besides, you have no money."
"That's true."
Mihawk nodded in agreement. He indeed had no money because he lived a self-sufficient life. Although the Shichibukai had certain dividends and subsidies, no one except Haku would receive them.
If he is really short of money, Mihawk will only take one or two bottles of red wine to auction, and the money earned will be enough to buy some new seeds and farming tools.
Of course, if Mihawk likes money, he can live a wealthy life at any time, not just now, but also in the past, but he doesn't like it.
And he doesn't really want a new ship. After all, he is satisfied with the current ship, but there is no bed, and Perona, the ghost girl, is not used to sleeping sitting up.
If there is a new ship, this problem may be solved, but it doesn't matter if there is not. After all, he will find Moria soon and return this troublesome girl.
Seeing Mihawk's indifferent expression, Katakuri swallowed back what he originally wanted to say about giving Mihawk a new ship as long as he taught his swordsman sisters how to practice swordsmanship.
After all, it's not like his sister can't get married, and Mihawk can tell at a glance that he doesn't know how to take care of others. If he really gets along with one of his sisters, his sister might still be wronged.
Evidence? Just look at the little girl next to Mihawk. She is about twenty years old, dressed in a gothic outfit, and has such strange makeup. This is all because her parents did not guide her well.
Katakuri put down his legs, stood up, and said, "Let's go, didn't you say you want to visit my mother?"
"Um."
Mihawk also nodded and stood up, following Katakuri and walking towards the Candy Castle in the distance.
In the distance, near the guest's living area, the Straw Hats, whose candy house was instantly destroyed, were looking around with confusion, with deep confusion in their eyes.
Because I don’t know when, the houses that were originally lined up row upon row disappeared around their house. No, they didn’t disappear. They seemed to have been moved and moved far away.
From the vertical and horizontal streets, they became built around the house in the middle of them, and from the houses closest to them to the houses far away from them, an arrangement was formed from low to high.
Under their feet, it became a five-cornered arena, with five strong and thick stone pillars at the five corners, and a grid of knots between the five stone pillars.
"Buzz~"
Just when they were wondering, the ground suddenly shook, the broken candy house was swallowed by the ground, and the entire ground rose instantly at this time.
The ground that had become soft and elastic just now became solid again. Abel quickly scanned the surroundings and frowned. Robin also made the same expression and said:
"Our place has become an arena."
At this time, a circular Colosseum-like structure appeared in the guest's living area. The guests and people from the Charlotte family who were coming here were a little stunned when they saw this scene.
.
Especially the Charlotte family, they are very familiar with this place. In the past few days, they have been rehearsing how to bring guests to their house to rest.
Even just now, several members of the Charlotte family sent guests over to rest here, but how long has it been? How come the building has changed so much in an instant?
Smoothie showed a confused look and was about to ask a question when a muscular figure appeared around the ring and said to the people coming around:
"Haha~ It looks like you are all here? Originally, this was an arena that would be opened tomorrow for the younger generations of various forces to compete and exchange ideas.
But today there happened to be a small conflict between the two forces, and among pirates, fighting is the best way to mediate the conflict, so it was activated in advance. Please don't panic.
If you are interested in this battle, you can watch it here. If you feel that the view is not good, you can also go back to the accommodation arranged for you in Totland to watch it."
Hearing this, the guests all showed expressions of sudden realization, especially the pirates. After all, they were not chefs or craftsmen. The only thing many of them were good at was fighting.
To be continued...
