Pirate Love System

"It's gone, it's all gone..."

Bucky slumped down on the edge of the wicker chair, hugged his head tightly, and muttered to himself in despair:

"How can we explore the Grand Line now? If we go back to the East China Sea and stay there, if that guy Shanks finds out, he will definitely be laughed at..."

In the past two years.

He had heard about Shanks a lot. The newspaper headlines...ah, no, it was on the second page of the newspaper. He had seen that guy several times.

His defeat of Moria the Shichibukai, and his bounty exceeding 500 million beli. Every time he was exaggerated, he was in the limelight. There are countless pirates around the world who are his fanatical fans.

In comparison, after they parted ways, he still only had a bounty of 10 million beli, and he was just like the worst one in the class reunion, extremely embarrassed.

"Well, don't worry about it."

The old man Kurokas, who had been smiling and saying nothing, suddenly shrugged after hearing this, raised the newspaper in his hand, looked at him and said, "That brat, his situation is not very good now."

Eh? What do you mean?

Bucky was stunned, turned his head subconsciously, and looked at the newspaper.

The photo on the left seems to be two dragons? He can't see clearly, but on the right... the guy wearing a straw hat looking at the camera, burned to ashes, he knows it——

Why is this guy in the newspaper again?

And this time, it was actually the headline?

Jealousy and jealousy instantly engulfed Bucky's reason. He rolled over and got up from the ground, gritted his teeth and took the newspaper handed over by the old ship's doctor:

"Did this guy do something earth-shattering again? Did he defeat the Shichibukai again, or was the bounty again... hmm?"

His eyes suddenly widened, his breathing became rapid, and he almost concentrated on reading the full text impatiently. When he raised his head again, his face was filled with a look of confusion and confusion.

"Shanks was actually captured?"

Is your focus too skewed and you don't care about the real big news at all? The old ship doctor's eyes twitched, but seeing Bucky's absent-minded look, he was immediately relieved and stroked his beard with emotion.

really.

Don't look at these two brats. Their relationship was at loggerheads on the ship, and they were fighting each other to the death. However, the friendship between partners is unbreakable. When faced with difficulties, their true feelings were immediately revealed...

"Actually, there's no need to worry, little Bucky."

Kurokas said leisurely, "He was just arrested. His life is not in danger. Although I know you must be feeling very uncomfortable right now, but..."

"Uncomfortable?"

Bucky suddenly grinned and laughed: "Don't be kidding me, Uncle Kurokas! How could I be worried about that guy!"

"Hehe, you actually looked so arrogant back then and wanted me to board his ship and accept him as the captain? Now I finally got in!"

Bucky put his hands on his hips, and the more he smiled, the happier he became. In the end, he had to hold his stomach, and tears were about to burst out, "Hey! Marines, please show some respect. We must send this guy to the fifth underground floor... No.

, Sixth Floor! Lock him up for twenty or thirty years before we talk!"

By then, I must have found John's treasure and become one of the richest people in the world. But this guy finally got out of prison in old age, with unshaven beard and dull eyes, so all he can do is look up to and fear him!

The more he fantasized, the happier he became, and even the annoyance and pain of the ship being buried under the belly of the whale disappeared.

Bucky hummed a tune, rolled up the newspaper and handed it back to Kukaros: "Uncle, do you have any ship repair tools? Lend them to me."

"what?"

The old ship's doctor looked at him speechlessly, feeling that his brain had been short-circuited before, and he actually thought... "I don't remember that you have the ability to repair a ship. Besides, it's difficult to repair such a big ship well."

A big project..."

"I'm too lazy to fix it, and I don't have the ability."

Bucky curled his lips, "I just plan to collect some planks and build a small raft that can take me over the Upside Down Mountain."

"Are you going back to Donghai?"

Kurokas looked at the Upside Down Mountain above his head in surprise, "I just came here...why, you don't plan to explore the Grand Line?"

"No more intrusion!"

Bucky looked satisfied, "I didn't actually plan to come so early. I just saw that guy getting more and more popular and couldn't hold it back. Now that this guy is in prison, I will go back to the East China Sea to play with myself."

,To be honest...I still like that place a little better."

You little brat, you really have no ambition...

The old ship's doctor pointed to a certain compartment in the cabin, looked at Bucky rushing to get the tools, and shook his head silently.

Although they are about the same age and both were trainee crew members on the Pirate King's ship, Bucky and Shanks made completely opposite choices after they crossed the Upside Down Mountain and reunited with themselves.

However, everyone has their own ambitions, and he has no right to interfere with how Bucky wants to live his own life, so just let him go.

and.

This feeling of witnessing the younger generations growing up and each taking a different path...

It seems quite interesting.

However, it's a bit outrageous that this guy really only pays attention to the news about Shanks... Kurokas's eyes flickered, but he couldn't help but look at the figure in the newspaper photo who was fighting fiercely with Kaido.

Romanov Nosha...

He is really too young, even Shanks can't compare with this guy's achievements.

In a trance, Kurokas seemed to travel through time and space and saw Garp, Warring States, and Zefa when they were young when they were crossing the sea...

No, even the strength of those monsters at this age cannot be compared to this Nuo Xia.

"The times..."

The old ship's doctor sighed, this kind of potential is really terrifying. The Navy Headquarters didn't know what kind of luck it had to pick up such a young genius.

In his twenties, he could fight with opponents at the level of emperors of the sea for days and nights without deciding the outcome.

What about when you are thirty? How strong will you be at forty?

He looked out to the distant horizon with a complicated expression and a hidden worry in his eyes.

Roger.

Could it be said that the era of great pirates that you personally started six years ago will end in the hands of this guy in the future?

———

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

"Quick, quick, let me see!"

"I want to see Grandma Zhizi too!"

In Zhizi's house, several little gangsters were scrambling to grab the newspaper. As soon as Ace got it from Nami, before he could grin proudly, Nokigao punched him on the head and snatched it away.

"Obviously it was me first!"

Ace jumped to his feet in a hurry, but Nokigao was a head taller than him and much stronger. He fought on tiptoe for a long time but failed to achieve his goal. He could only wait aggrievedly for Nokigao to open the newspaper and then get behind him.

Zhizi looked amused from the other side, but did not interfere and continued chatting with Tulip across the table.

Since she returned to the headquarters, she has often visited the Romanov family, and her relationship with Tulip has become more and more familiar, reaching the level of elderly best friends.

Having such a son is simply enviable. Looking at the tulips that were glowing because of the latest news, Zhizi felt a little sour as if she had eaten a lemon.

And the other side.

Nokigao and Nami finished reading the newspaper, their eyes were shining like stars, and they both exclaimed:

"It's on the newspaper headlines again!"

"Too strong, worthy of being a father!"

Ace in the back looked at the photo with envy and obsession, the two giant dragons agitated by the wind and thunder. This is a real man. He is so handsome. When will he grow up sooner and become such a powerful man?

What about the Navy?

It would be nice if he was half as good as Uncle Nuo Xia... or even just a quarter. Then he wouldn't be punished by his grandfather by forcing him to practice extra every day because of unsatisfactory training results, right?

That's right.

Ace, who has not even passed his fifth birthday, has been trained by Garp since the beginning of the year. This miserable life, even with Zhizi's return, has only improved a little...

He was really envious of Nami and Nokigao. Uncle Nuoxia felt sorry for his daughter, fearing that she would fall to the ground and break into pieces. Nokigao was the same age as him, but he had never seen her being forced.

Have been trained.

It would be great if I had a father like Uncle Noxia.

Little Ace secretly thought to himself that he had always been very curious about his father's identity. He also asked Garp and Zhizi, but the two old men never answered directly.

Far, far away...

Thinking of this, Ace quietly tightened the necklace around his neck.

It was a birthday gift given to him by Uncle Nuoxia on his fourth birthday. It was made of sterling silver and he always regarded it as a treasure.

but.

Speaking of which, there was one thing that he never understood.

He could read the letters engraved on the front of the necklace pendant, which was "Ace", his own name.

But what does the "Big Dipper Star Division" engraved on the back mean?

———

Undersea prison, underground level 3.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In a spacious single-person prison, a tall figure punched the iron wall in front of him continuously. The attack was like a violent storm, causing more than a dozen nearby prisons to tremble continuously.

Many sleeping pirates were awakened, but they did not dare to fart, so they covered their ears angrily and continued to sleep.

no way.

That guy, on this level, no one dares to mess with him.

"call……"

After the practice, Shiliu's breathing rhythm was still even and long. He picked up a towel and wiped the sweat on his forehead. He was about to go to the single shower room to take a bath. Suddenly, he seemed to notice something and turned his head to look into the distance of the corridor.

.

——————

West Sea.

The first naval branch base.

On a quiet summer day, the sun is scorching, and from time to time, sailors can be seen passing by in neat queues throughout the base. The recruits on the training ground are still working hard, and the atmosphere in the entire base is solemn and desolate.

"It is indeed a branch led by that lord."

A pirate hunter who came to collect a bounty went out and couldn't help but sigh with his fat companion beside him, "The combat effectiveness, morale, and military appearance and discipline are all surprisingly good. They are not the same thing as the other branches in the West Sea.

"

"yes."

The fat companion nodded with deep understanding, "There is no comparison at all."

Thinking about that legendary name, they couldn't help but feel in awe.

Although almost three years have passed.

But that man's influence on this base, and even the entire West China Sea, still remains to this day, and his legacy can be seen everywhere.

"But for us, it's a good thing that the big boss is gone."

The tall and fat pirate hunter weighed the money bag in his hand and clicked his tongue, "When he was there, even the big pirates in the West Sea who had bounty money didn't dare to show their heads. There were only small fish and shrimps, and they couldn't do business.

It’s not like now when the market is so good.”

"That's true."

The companion suddenly saw a group of people walking carelessly from a distance, and smiled, "Here, we are here to collect the bounty again. This is the third group of people we met today, right?"

Two groups of bounty hunters passed each other without saying hello. After all, they were competitors for work.

It is precisely because of this that the two bounty hunters did not notice that after these pirate hunters stepped into the base gate, a thin black figure flashed out of the alley and quietly blended into this group.

Behind the person.
