One Piece: Dark Sky

"Luffy, would you like to come to our Whitebeard Pirates, ah, of course, your companions can also join us."

Faced with Luffy's brother's invitation, Luffy didn't respond yet, Zoro Sanji and the others swallowed, and Usopp looked at Ace with bright eyes and said.

"Whitebeard... so the tattoo on your back is really..."

"That's right, he is my pride... Well, how would you choose? Luffy."

Ace first answered Usopp's question and then looked at Luffy with a serious face.

"I do not want."

Usopp's cold sweat was about to fall, for fear that Ace would kill the entire boat because of his anger, but Ace didn't, and of course he wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

"Hahaha, I knew it, it doesn't matter, I just said it casually."

Instead of being angry, Ace laughed, as if the idiot brother hadn't let him down.

But Ace's smile only stayed for a while, and then he became serious, just listening to him.

"Whitebeard is the strongest person among the pirates I know in this era, even Master Barn, and I want to help him become the Pirate King, not you, Luffy."

Lu Fei still had a relaxed expression on his face, just listening to what he said.

"It's okay, just duel when the time comes."

Zoro and Sanji both smiled at Luffy's back, and Luffy's seemingly casual answer did not disappoint them.

Even Usopp nodded slowly, although knowing that he might face a big pirate like Whitebeard in the future, the cold sweat on his forehead would keep flowing...

At this time, Sanji who had been sitting in the corner smoking suddenly said.

"Hey, go inside if you want to talk, I'll make you some snacks."

"Oh, no, you're welcome, it's not important."

Faced with Sanji's invitation, Ace declined, but took another deep look at Luffy, didn't say anything, just put a smile on his face.

Then he dropped two notes from the brim of his hat with two strange smiles on it.

"Take it."

"I've come to give you this, and you'll keep it with you forever."

Ace said with a smile.

"Huh? Just two blank sheets of paper?"

Lu Fei fiddled with the two white papers and asked stupidly.

"That's right, the smaller one is mine, and the bigger one is Master Barn's. It can make us meet again."

"Huh? Barn is here too?"

Luffy asked.

"Ah, he's on the shore, but I don't know why you didn't meet him. Before I left, he gave me two of his life cards. I guess the other one is for you."

Ace said.

"oh"

"No?"

"No, I accept it."

After seeing Luffy tuck the two life cards into the brim of the straw hat on his head, Ace stood up slowly with a smile and said.

"There is an idiot brother, I am still very worried as a brother..."

"You can't do anything about him, hehe, please!"

After finishing speaking, Ace turned around and jumped off. Below was his small boat that looked like an assault boat.

"Huh? Leaving so soon? Stay a little longer!"

Ignoring Luffy's persuasion, Ace packed his boat and only listened to him.

"Didn't I say that, I have other things to do, just take a look at you by the way."

"But we finally met once!"

"I'm chasing a criminal. I heard that he called himself 'Blackbeard' recently. He turned out to be a member of the Whitebeard Pirates and my subordinate, but he committed the most serious crime on board."

"Kill your companions and run away."

"As the captain, I have to fix this, or I'm going to go back the other way."

"..."

"Master Barn should still be around here, you can go find him, Luffy, the next time we meet, we must stand at the top of the pirates!"

"See you!"

Ace didn't look back, just waved his back to Luffy, a burst of flames set off under his feet, and the small assault boat quickly disappeared from Luffy's sight.

"Yoxi, let's go!"

After watching Ace off, Luffy looked at his friends with a smile on his face and said.

Poor Barn was completely forgotten by Luffy... But now Barn is indeed not here in Rapeseed Flowers. As soon as Ace left, he received a call from Drago...

another place...

"Oh! It's finally here, Joba!"

At this time, Lu Fei, who was wearing a desert suit, said with a smile, but what he saw was a piece of yellow sand, which was completely different from the oasis Weiwei said.

"Eh? What, nothing!"

But at this time, Weiwei's voice came from behind, and she could only hear what she said.

"Hey, Luffy, this is not Yorba. You have to walk northwest for half a day to get to Yorba. This is Eruba Oasis."

"Eh? Oasis? This is not what an oasis looks like at all."

Luffy said with a disgusted face.

"Well, it's really not anymore..."

Weiwei said with some embarrassment...

And at this time, a strange creature suddenly jumped out of there.

"Hey! What is that? A turtle!"

"No! That's Kung Fu Manatee!"

"effort?"

Usopp stepped forward to test it in disbelief.

"Stay away from him! Usopp! He's strong!"

Weiwei stopped it immediately, but it was too late... Usopp had already fallen to the ground with a bruised nose and a swollen face...

Zoro glanced at Usopp who fell on the ground with disgust...

"I was knocked down by this kind of thing..."

And Nami pointed to Luffy behind her and said.

"There's someone out there who won."

"Don't even beat him!"

Weiwei immediately turned her head and shouted, but it was still too late, the manatee had already bowed respectfully to Lu Feifei...

"After losing, Kung Fu Manatee will worship the person who defeated him as a teacher. This is their rule!"

But when she saw Luffy, there were already a bunch of kung fu manatees around him...

"There are more and more apprentices!"

Weiwei covered her face with her hands in pain...

At this time, Sanji, who had been silent all this time, spoke up, and he pointed in another direction and said.

"There are many more over there."

Luffy looked over immediately, and then his eyes burst into brilliance...

"Wow! So much fun! And so much more!"

"Hey! Hold him fast!"

Vivi growled...

"Eh? There seems to be someone in the middle!"

Sauron also looked over there, and then said.

Luffy stopped, stretched his neck all of a sudden, and saw.

"Hey, there really is someone!"

On the other side, there are much more kung fu manatees than those around Luffy, a dense mass of people, and in the middle is a white-haired young man with a wry smile...

"Huh? This person looks so familiar."

Luffy retracted his neck, said in doubt, and then walked over, and his partners also walked over out of curiosity.

What I saw was a guy in casual clothes, with long white hair hanging down to his waist, and a bird on his head that seemed to have fainted from heat.

"Huh? Master Barn?"

Luffy said in surprise, while his little friend looked at the man even more in surprise.

"Huh? Luffy's master?"
