One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

Alabaster, east coast of Rainland.

Ace and Kuina haven't come back for a long time, and the brothers Seba and Barry went to inquire about the news. This time they got a shocking news.

"Deuce, Ace and Kuina were captured by the navy!"

On the pirate ship with a flame-shaped bow, the returning twin brothers shouted in panic, telling everyone the bad news.

For a moment, everyone was at a loss. Although everyone on the ship was a top-notch player, facing the highest combat power of the navy, this strength was not enough.

"Deuce, let's just grab Ace and Kuina from the navy!" A fat man near the side of the ship waved his modified arm and made a rough suggestion.

"No! Yagi, we are going to die like this. If we are all caught, Ace will be completely hopeless."

"Bang!"

The mechanical arm, like a gun barrel, slammed heavily into the wooden side of the ship, and the wood chips thrown up fell to the ground and bounced lightly. Yagi said angrily: "Then let's do it. I will go with everyone to contain the navy's combat power, and Deuce and Kukai will take advantage of the chaos to rescue Ace."

Noticing the eager eyes of the crowd, Deuce, as the navigator on the ship, cursed: "Idiot, you still don't understand the situation. With our strength, it is impossible to contain the navy."

"This is not okay, that is not okay. Are we going to watch Ace and Kuina being sent to Impel Down?"

Just as everyone was arguing over the rescue of Ace, a crisp gurgling sound came from the captain's room of the Spade Pirates, and the people who were arguing endlessly suddenly quieted down.

Is this the sound of Den Den Mushi?

In the puzzled eyes of his companions, Deuce followed the sound and found a red Den Den Mushi next to Ace's pillow. Holding the little thing in his palm, Deuce returned to his partner carefully.

"Deuce, when did you buy a Den Den Mushi!"

You should know that in the first half of the Grand Line, the number of wild Den Den Mushi was pitifully small, and most of the artificially cultivated ones were for private use. Therefore, many pirate groups did not have their own way of making calls before entering the New World, and whether they could meet or not really depended on fate.

For example, the Straw Hat Pirates in the original work did not have Den Den Mushi before the war on the top, otherwise there would be no need to pass on messages to their partners through newspapers, which shows how rare Den Den Mushi are.

"Deuce, answer the phone quickly!" Seeing the rhythmic call of the Den Den Mushi, the only fishman on the ship, Wallace, hurriedly urged.

Fearing that the other party would hang up the phone, Deuce picked up the receiver in a panic, and soon the girl's face appeared on the Den Den Mushi.

It was not a coincidence that he dialed the Den Den Mushi. This was because An knew his brother well enough. Unlike other pirates who would carry Den Den Mushi with them, Ace liked to keep the Den Den Mushi in the room.

According to her rescue plan, An needed a ship to pick her up, so she contacted the Spade Pirates. After all, she was not a user of the Float-Float Fruit and could not fly with others.

"I am Ace's sister. You find a way to catch up with the navy's warships. I will find a way to rescue them both."

Without much communication, before everyone came to their senses, the Den Den Mushi drooped its head, and it was obvious that the person on the other side had hung up the call.

On the deck, Barry said in surprise: "Ace actually has a sister!"

"This should be true. The other party has no need to lie to us at this time, and Ace did mention that he has a sister."

As the first member to join the Spade Pirates, Deus knew Ace's situation better.

Seagulls soared over the calm sea, and the salty and humid sea breeze soaked everyone's nasal cavity. The vast sea has always been fair and does not forgive anyone because of their status.

The bottom of the warship was cleaned regularly, and the unventilated prison did not have a pungent smell as imagined.

In the only compartment with weak sunlight near the upper and lower passages, Ace and Kuina were wearing seastone handcuffs, and they closed their eyes and leaned against the wall comfortably.

"Ah, you two are really leisurely, and you don't have the awareness of being prisoners at all." Kuzan shook his head repeatedly at their attitude.

Hearing this, the boy opened his eyes and smiled indifferently, "That really caused trouble for Mr. Kuzan."

"Ah, I really don't understand why you must become a pirate, Ace. If it's just for fame, the navy can also realize your dream."

In the dim prison, Kuzan was curiously looking for the answer to this question like an old friend chatting.

The shackles on his hands made a clanking sound, and the boy pushed up the brim of his hat that had never fallen off his head, with a silent smile on his face.

"Freedom..."

"But it's priceless!"

The boy's expression was sincere and sincere, and Kuzan suddenly felt that some people were born unrestrained, and the boundless sea was his final destination.

"I hope you can maintain your current optimistic mood when you arrive at Impel Down."

"Haha, I believe my sister will come to save me, no matter where I am."

"Really? Then let's wait and see." Leaving this sentence, Kuzan returned to the deck, and the prison at the bottom returned to darkness.

In the distant sea a few miles away from the warship, with wet blue long hair dragging around her waist, Wallace would report the location of the warship to everyone every once in a while.

According to An's order, the Spade Pirates have been hanging not far behind the warship, waiting to pick up Ace's mysterious sister at any time.

Everyone stayed at the bow, staring eagerly at the distant horizon, hoping to see the figures of Ace and Kuina.

Day and night alternated, and one day had passed.

A warship far larger than the average size was sailing on the way to the Navy Headquarters. Below it, in the pitch-black deep sea where one could not see one's hand in front of one's face, a black shadow resembling a fishman swung its legs and began to float up quickly.

Riding on the light transmitted from the sea surface, the outline of the black shadow became clearer and clearer. This was An who came from the terrifying three-masted sailing ship.

It was impossible for An to rescue Ace from the admiral who was at the peak of his strength head-on with his current strength, not to mention that there were far more powerful people on the ship than just Brother Kuzan. In the perception of the color of observation, there were at least three powerful auras on this warship.

"Aura shielding, open!"

Carefully measuring the bottom of the warship inlaid with seastone, each warship had a different appearance, but the internal structure was mostly the same. Not long after, An had come to the bottom of the prison, and his observation Haki penetrated the bottom of the ship and sensed Ace and the other man in the dark.

On the deck of the warship, they were discussing how An would save Ace. Kuzan and Vice Admiral Tsuru's faces changed drastically, and they rushed towards the prison in an instant.

"Iron Fist·Piercing!"

Striving for a successful blow, the fiery red flowing cherry wrapped around his fist. With the bonus of the sea girl's bond, the hard sea stone bottom of the ship was torn apart like paper.

A large amount of blue sea water poured in, and the surging waves flooded the floor of the cabin. In the darkness, a beam of ice-blue flame ignited, illuminating the entire bottom prison.

"You two are really good at causing trouble for me!"

The girl easily broke open the fence made of sea stone and looked at the two people inside with a smile.

"Sister!"

"An!"
