The two of them were very close.

Vivi looked at Ace with trembling pupils, but she happened to meet Ace's blank eyes.

Ace looked a little surprised, looking at Vivi's abnormal appearance, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Vivi looked up at Ace, bit her lip and shook her head, without saying anything. But the Straw Hat Pirates, who had been with Vivi for some time, understood what was going on.

Luffy's smile gradually disappeared, and he explained seriously: "Vivi is the princess of this country, but this country is being invaded by Crocodile... So, I want him to taste the feeling of being beaten!"

Ace listened to these words, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised an arc, and he touched Luffy's head again.

"Luffy, you really haven't changed at all!"

After a pause, he said again: "However, unfortunately, I am here to track down a traitor who injured his companions, so I can't go with you."

Vivi's expression darkened, but then brightened up again, because she... believed that Luffy could do it!

The dull atmosphere disappeared in an instant, and Luffy's smile and the expressions of several people returned to normal again.

Chopper said curiously, "What traitor? Is there a traitor in the legendary Four Emperors Pirate Group?"

Ace took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, "Yes, in fact, when I heard this information, I was also surprised."

"His name is Marshall Teach, a member of my second team. In order to snatch a devil fruit, he injured the captain of our fourth team."

Then everyone nodded. After all, this is someone else's family matter, and there is no excessive exploration.

Nami, on the other hand, had a strange train of thought. She hesitated to ask, "In other words, you came here to chase him..."

"He left the country a few days ago. I heard that Luffy was coming to this country, so I waited for him here."

After hearing the exact news, Nami breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't think that they could stop the traitors of the Four Emperors at the moment.

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the house, and everyone turned their eyes to the door.

"Colonel Smoker, it is rumored that the Straw Hat Boy is in this bar!"

A rough male voice sounded, "I know, you, go and block the back door to prevent the Straw Hat Boy from escaping!"

"This time, the Straw Hat Boy must be brought to justice!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man pushed the door open. It was Colonel Smoker, who was very familiar to the few people.

Smoker saw Luffy standing at the bar in a daze the first time he came in. He took a puff of his cigar, and the next second, he turned into a smoke man and rushed towards Luffy.

But the conversation just now was not only heard by the Straw Hat Pirates, but also by Ace.

Ace stepped forward, blocked Luffy behind him, grinning, "Luffy, you guys go, leave this to me! I have to give my brother a chance to show off!"

As soon as the words fell, his fist turned into a blazing flame, and then he punched out, and the flame on his fist turned into a red pillar of fire, blasting straight at Smoker!

The surging heat wave burned the only remaining oxygen in the air, and everyone present felt suffocated.

The entire smoke of Smoker was completely blown away, but the rising flame was not too overbearing, and still left a foothold for Smoker.

Then, the smoke that was dispersed gradually gathered again and turned into a human form...

Smoker frowned, "A user of the Nature-type Flame-Flame Fruit ability...?"

"You are... Fire Fist Ace?!"

When he realized that the person in front of him was Ace, Smoker's pupils trembled and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Why would Ace, the famous Fire Fist in the New World, appear in such a small place? Could it be that the Whitebeard Pirates are plotting something?"

Ace grinned again and raised his finger to push up the cowboy hat, "I'm so sorry, Luffy is my brother, I can't let you take him away!"

Smoker was secretly shocked when he heard this. Straw Hat Luffy is the younger brother of Fire Fist Ace... This...

Then, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Luffy with a firmer look, "I don't care whose brother he is! If you dare to interfere today, I will catch you too!"

Ace didn't care about Smoker's arrogant words. He raised his hand and swung out a scorching flame again, drawing a burning flame boundary on the ground with the approaching navy.

Ace's smile did not change at all, and he returned

He turned his head to the bewildered crowd, as if it was a daily conversation, "Luffy, let's go!"

Luffy looked at Vivi sideways, nodded, grabbed the neck of the fast runner (Vivi's duck), and grinned.

"Everyone! Let's run separately and meet up at the Rain Banquet (Crocodile's casino)!" After saying that, he took the lead and disappeared with a leap, and the rest of the people hurriedly followed, disappearing from several other gaps in the encirclement.

Only Ace was left, along with the stunned navy and the gnashing Smoker!

-----------------

Ina didn't know what was happening. At this time, she was already guarding the Sabaody Archipelago.

This was also the first time Ina stopped at the Sabaody Archipelago, which made her look at the bubbles around her with a little novelty.

Seeing Ina's inexperienced look, Kuina on the side joked.

"Haven't you been to the New World? Why do you still look so unsophisticated?"

Hearing this, Ina turned her head to look at Kuina who was looking at her teasingly.

"No, when I went to the New World, I walked from the top of the Red Earth Continent. I haven't been here in this time and space!"

When Kuina heard about this time and space, she nodded and roughly understood these things.

Little did they know that a figure had quietly heard this information behind them.

Kuina looked up and looked around, and said again. "This is the first time, the Sabaody Archipelago is really a good place to accumulate merits..."

"No way, whether you are returning from the New World in frustration or preparing to go to the New World. This is the only way."

While Ina said this, she raised her hand and swung a sword mark, which directly penetrated the figure of the person who had just eavesdropped.

But this figure was not hurt, and a thick black mist spread around him, wrapping him in it.

Kuina looked at the navy soldiers who were already surrounded by black fog with some fear, and looked at Ina with a frightened and horrified look.

Just as she was about to speak, Ina's explanation followed, "Just think of it as a devil fruit ability user who wants to ambush us, there is no need to take it too seriously."

Ina waved a colorful energy, and the moment the thick black fog came into contact with the colored energy, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, and fled with the instinctive fear of the biological class.

When it was almost driven away, the black fog gathered in the distance and gradually turned into a drop of black liquid, escaping towards the sky with a strong ominous breath.

Ina raised her hand and surging the energy in the space, a black hole in the space appeared out of thin air, tearing the drop of black liquid into countless black fogs and swallowing it up.

But what Ina didn't know was that these countless black fogs had extremely strong vitality, but extended along this space and gathered into liquid again...
