When Connor and Essolon returned to the Shark Emerald, Nami and Sanji had already directed the slaves to carry all the treasures to the Augustus.

As soon as Connor appeared, Nami hurried over, looked him up and down, and said disgustedly: "Why do you smell like blood all over your body? Why don't you go take a shower and change clothes?"

Connor took a step back and chuckled: "Well, how about changing into the Yuori with the flowing water pattern this time?"

"It's up to you, but I think the orange windmill is not bad either. Oh, it's up to you!" Nami pinched her nose in disgust and waved her hand to drive away Connor, like a pest.

"Go take a shower now!"

"Yeah. I understand." Connor smiled and nodded, then ran away along the road woven by the spider silk.

"Really, what do you know!" Nami looked at Connor's leaving figure, her disgusted expression broken, replaced by a touch of worry. She turned to look at Zoro and asked, "He's not hurt, right? Why?"

Have you even lost your clothes?”

Zoro shook his head and said softly: "He's fine. Connor is very strong. No one in the East China Sea can defeat him!"

Nami's eyes moved to Ace again.

Ace waved his hands hurriedly and said, "He's not injured, really not. Instead, it's his enemy, the treasure hunter. Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's terrible."

Nami nodded, then pointed to the slaves on the side of the ship who were carrying the lifeboat, and said slowly: "This ship has been reinforced with steel and gems, and it should be very valuable when sold to the old shipyard, so I will stay and let

They left in a lifeboat.

However, I kept Bucky the Clown and Crick, and Crick can be exchanged for the bounty, Bucky the Clown... I heard from Connor that you have some connection with him, so I gave him to you!"

Ace was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, Connor said that Bucky was once a crew member on Roger's ship, so I want to ask him what kind of person Gol D. Roger is.

"

"Well, go ahead." Nami nodded and continued, "I'll put him in the captain's cabin. No one will disturb you there."

Ace looked at Nami and whispered, "Thank you."

"We are partners!" Nami smiled lightly and added, "Besides, I need you to accompany Connor to fool around, so thank you for your hard work."

Ace didn't speak any more. He walked slowly towards the cabin, took two steps, and then started jogging. In the end, he actually used a running speed.

Sauron looked at Ace's back and suddenly said: "I hope he can get out of his own shadow."

"Shadow?" Nami smiled slyly, "I didn't expect Zoro, your head filled only with wine and swords, to be able to read Ace's story?"

"Everyone on our ship is carrying something." Zoro looked at Sanji, who was happily directing the slaves, and said softly, "Even that perverted cook has a past he doesn't want to look back on."

"Yeah." Nami nodded, and suddenly said, "Zoron, Connor told me before, his dream. Do you know what it is?"

"The strongest?" Zoro was a little confused. He had just discussed this issue with Ace, and Connor behaved in the same way.

However, Nami seems to have a different answer.

Nami said with a smile: "Connor told me at the time that because he had lived on a narrow island for the past ten years, he wanted to go outside and have a look.

Therefore, his biggest wish is to see the most beautiful scenery in the world and go on a trip that he will never regret!

In fact, since he went to sea, his dream has been on the way to come true!"

Zoro was stunned. He didn't expect Connor to have such a dream.

Nami added: "Zoron, I know that Connor was injured this time, but because of his strong recovery ability, he may have recovered on the way back.

However, he was able to recover from the injury this time, but what about next time.

So, Zoro, I hope that you and Ace can help Connor share more of the pressure and don't let Connor face those enemies alone.

Even if Connor is strong, there will always be enemies that he cannot deal with in the future voyage... Of course, I will work hard to become stronger for Connor, for our journey and our dreams."

Zoro nodded heavily and said solemnly: "I know it. Ace and I both know it. Even the perverted cook knows it."

There is a "son of the Pirate King" on their ship, and there will always be a day when this news cannot be concealed, and when the enemies that the Pirate King once defeated, when the intelligence personnel of the navy and the government, when... when they swept in like a tide

, it is possible to encounter any kind of strong enemy.

In order to avoid being powerless when that day comes, they can actually only work hard to become stronger.

Zoro said slowly: "We are partners!"

Nami nodded: "Well, we are partners!"

Connor returned to the cabin, washed himself carefully, and then hummed a song and put on the orange feather fabric with a windmill pattern.

After looking in front of the mirror for a while, he slowly walked out of the cabin and came to the deck.

He lay on Augustus's eagle head, looking up at the clouds in the sky changing like a slide, with a faint smile always hanging on the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, there was the sound of heavy footsteps on the boat.

Connor tilted his head and looked at the source of the sound, realizing that the person coming was actually Ace.

However, Ace's expression was a bit complicated at this time. He couldn't tell whether he was depressed or happy, maybe a combination of both?

Connor shouted to Ace: "Ace, what's wrong? Are you worried?"

When Ace heard Connor's voice, he turned to look at the bow of the ship, sighed, and slowly walked towards Connor. After reaching the bow of the ship, he fell silent again.

After a while, Ace said slowly: "Bucky and I talked."

"Then what?" Connor sat up and looked at Ace.

Ace looked at the deep blue sea in the distance and said softly: "It's hard to imagine that Roger, who has such a bad reputation in the Kingdom of Goa and even in the world, is so great in Bucky's eyes. When Bucky and I were chatting

, Bucky even cried a few times.

Bucky said that Roger is the strongest man in the world and the greatest captain in the world. He deserves to be the Pirate King!"

Connor nodded slightly, pressed down the corner of his clothes that was blown by the sea breeze, and continued: "After listening to Bucky's words, what do you think of Roger?"

Ace took a deep breath, shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know, I'm a little confused. The old impressions and the new impressions are colliding with each other, making me don't know what to believe."

Connor suddenly stood up, patted Ace on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Ace, you have to see with your own eyes, hear with your own ears, and feel with your own heart what you believe in.

What you hear from others will always contain their subjective thoughts. Only when you understand the full picture of the event from the outside to the inside can you give your own opinions.

There is no need to believe who is right or wrong, everything is left to your own heart to choose!"

Ace was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became cheerful, and he also laughed. He stood up slowly, smiled into the wind and said: "You are right, you don't need to believe who is right and who is wrong, you can judge for yourself!"

Suddenly, Ace said again: "Connor, when you customized our pirate flag to have the snake at the end of it, you actually wanted to travel the Grand Line, right?

Connor, are you interested in becoming the Pirate King? Are you interested in becoming the freest person on the sea?"

Connor smiled and said: "Okay, then let's set a goal. We will successfully sail around the world for a week, complete the greatest journey in the world, and find the greatest treasure in the world!"

Ace clenched his fists and said solemnly: "I will help you!"

Connor said: "Okay!"
