Pirates: Start by rejecting the redhead's invitation

Faced with Ace's sudden apology, Rayleigh was silent for a while, then asked with a smile: "Ace, what is your full name?"

Ace replied without any hesitation: "My name is Portcas D. Ace."

"Portcas..." Reilly thought about it carefully, then quickly recovered and said with a smile, "Okay, I understand, let's continue."

"Okay, then I'm here!"

After saying this, Ace was covered in fire and attacked Rayleigh again.

Rayleigh held his sword in his hand and kept retreating, constantly resisting Ace's attacks.

Ace's attack was fierce, but he still couldn't break Rayleigh's defense.

As for Rayleigh, other than defending, he had no intention of counterattacking.

The defensive battle between the two lasted for more than ten minutes. It seemed that they were tired. After Ace launched another wave of attacks, Rayleigh immediately stopped his hand and made a stop gesture to Ace.

Ace suddenly stopped all movements with his hands and stared at Rayleigh with some confusion.

Rayleigh sheathed his sword, then took out his wine bottle, opened it, took a sip, and continued: "Sure enough, I can't compete with you young people. I'm old and can't fight anymore. I give up."

Ace: "!"

Everyone: "?"

Lin Mo: "..."

Marco asked unexpectedly: "Hey, Rayleigh, are you serious?"

Reilly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Of course, I'm tired. My old bones can't stand it if I continue. I give up. This kid will win this game."

"No." Ace said dissatisfied, "I don't agree with this ending. Let's compete again!"

"It's not up to you." Rayleigh said with a smile. "The rules of the game are very clear. Except for one party losing its fighting power, it is also allowed to admit defeat. So, boy, you win."

"you…"

"Hahaha, if you still want to fight me, wait until you defeat that kid Marco and then come to me to spar." Reilly smiled and said, "When the time comes, I promise I won't give in to you again."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked in the direction of White Beard.

Ace clenched his fists and stood there in silence for a long time.

Several members of the Whitebeard Group gathered around worriedly.

"Ace, are you okay?"

"That guy Rayleigh is really serious. I'll make sure dad scolds him later."

"Ace, it doesn't matter. Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities to fight with him in the future. Oh, by the way, our drinking party just now isn't over yet. Come on, let's continue drinking and eating meat together."

"That's right, we win anyway, let's continue celebrating dad's birthday."

Everyone tried their best to reconcile their current anger.

Ace took a deep breath, then raised his head and grinned: "Hahaha, yes, if you win, you win. Let's go, let's continue to eat and drink."

Lin Mo's side.

After hearing Lei Li admit defeat, although Lin Mo still maintained his usual expressionless expression.

But Kaku and Enilu moved away consciously, fearing that Lin Mo would mess with him if he was unhappy.

Rayleigh came to Whitebeard, looked up at him, half-smiled and said, "Newgate, I have something to ask you."

Whitebeard also stared at Rayleigh and said carelessly: "I know what you want to ask."

"Take a step to speak,"

"Okay, let's go to my boat."

Then, the two came to the Moby Dick.

Because everyone was happily holding a banquet in the center of Dune Island, there were only a few people left on the Moby Dick to watch the ship.

After Whitebeard and Rayleigh boarded the ship, the few crew members left to watch the ship were separated by Whitebeard.

Before Whitebeard could say anything, Rayleigh asked, "Is that kid Ace the child of Roger and Luju?"

Whitebeard said disapprovingly: "So what?"

Reilly said with a heavy face: "Roger once accidentally mentioned Lujiu to me, but he never told us that he had a child. Why is Ace on your ship?"

"Why? Is this important?" Whitebeard bared his teeth and said with a smile, "The past is not important, what is important is the present and the future. Ace is my son now. I will fulfill the responsibility of a father and be worthy of his calling me daddy."

."

"I don't mean anything else, it's just..." Reilly said helplessly, "I can probably guess why this kid hates Roger so much. When I mentioned Roger just now, I could see in his eyes that this kid

I carry a lot on my back.”

"So?" Whitebeard asked with a chuckle, "What do you want to say?"

Reilly took a sip of wine and continued: "I have already missed it once, and I don't want to miss it a second time. I will not interfere too much in this child's life. Young people must have their own adventures, but after playing

After all, as long as he is still alive, he can do whatever he wants. Newgate, did you get a life card for this kid? Give me half of it."

the other side.

After the game, everyone returned to the banquet location and continued to eat, drink, and hold the banquet happily.

Lin Mo was eating the snacks at the banquet alone in silence. Many people tried to come over and strike up a conversation with him, but they were all dissuaded by his ignoring attitude.

Until Whitebeard comes back.

Whitebeard and Rayleigh sat down next to Lin Mo.

"Little devil." Whitebeard said in a good mood, "I am willing to admit defeat."

Lin Mo said expressionlessly: 'I know.'

Whitebeard bared his teeth and said with a smile: "Then you owe me a favor."

Lin Mo: "Yeah."

Whitebeard picked up an oversized wine bowl and said with a smile: "Here, let's have a drink."

Lin Mo picked up his endless wine bottle, casually clinked it with White Beard's wine glass, and then took a sip of wine.

Reilly asked with a smile: "What? Are you angry with me?"

Lin Mo rolled his eyes at him: "No."

"Hahaha." Lei Li laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't break my promise. Since I lose, can I continue to work for you for two months?"

Lin Mo said casually: "Half a year."

Lei Li was stunned for a moment and said angrily: "Didn't we agree to two months?"

Lin Mo chuckled and said: "You deliberately admitted defeat. This is very bad. Who do you want to send away in just two months?"

Lei Li said helplessly: "It's boring for you to do this. Three months at most, no more, I still have to go back to Shampoo. If I don't go back for too long, I will be talked about to death by your Aunt Xia."

"Four months, no negotiation."

Reilly: “…”

Whitebeard laughed and said: "Gu la la la la, Rayleigh, you also have today, it's interesting, it's so interesting, gula la la la..."

Reilly said angrily: "You guys, Newgate, are gloating about your misfortune."

Whitebeard said disapprovingly: "Why am I gloating about others' misfortunes? It's obvious that you are reaping the consequences."

"Okay, okay." Lei Li was too lazy to talk nonsense to them, "Okay, four months, four months, but I have a request. I have to go back to the shampoo place to tell Xia Qi first, otherwise she will

Worry about me."

Lin Mo said nonchalantly: "Okay."

Although, Lin Mo didn't think Xia Qi would be worried about Lei Li because he hadn't seen him for several months.

Lei Li asked with a half-smile: "Do you want to go to Shampoo Place with me?"

Lin Mo shook his head and said, "I won't go."

Reilly continued: "Then you're not afraid that I won't come back to you if I go?"

Lin Mo chuckled and said, "You can't."

Reilly stroked his beard and smiled: "You just trust me so much?"

Lin Mo continued: "If you really don't want your old face, I wouldn't mind tearing it off for you."

"Hiss..." Rayleigh couldn't laugh or cry, "You are so cruel."

"Gu la la la la." Whitebeard laughed, "Rayleigh, you have met your match this time."

Lei Li said helplessly: "Isn't it true... Lin Mo is too cruel."
