Chapter 190 Burning! Ace is in Cocosia City!
Chapter 190 Burning! Ace is in Cocosia City!
Port of Cocosia.
A broken boat arrived following the merchant ship flying the bat flag.
Ace jumped onto the pier. The pieced-together boat was already creaking and seemed to be disintegrated at any time. Many people on the pier cast sympathetic glances, because people who had sailed on the sea knew that such a boat What kind of torments the boat has suffered, and yet he can survive on such a badly damaged boat. The young man in front of him is also a man worthy of respect.
"Deus, this is Cocosia Port. It's really prosperous. Now, don't you think so?" Ace blinked and looked around curiously.
Another man walked out of the broken ship. He had light blue hair, wore a mask, and wore a shabby jacket.
His name was Mascedeus. He didn't have this name originally. He had another name. But for some reasons, he didn't want to tell his real name, so Ace gave him this name.
Looking at the bustling crowd, Mascedeus couldn't help but open his arms and embrace the whole city. With tears of emotion in his eyes, he said loudly: "It's great, it's great, I can see so many people." people"
"Hey, Deus, is that all?" Ace said.
Deus walked onto the pier and said, "I have stayed on an uninhabited desert island like Sixsis for more than half a year. Can you understand how I feel?"
"Hey, did you hear what he was saying, Xixis?" The people at the dock started talking.
"is that a lie"
"Xixis, that island that is rumored to have treasures. Many pirates have entered that island, but so far no one has survived. I heard that there is a very special sea current around that island. As long as you enter You can’t leave that island, you can only be trapped in it.”
"Today's young people really love to talk big"
People did not take Zeus's words to heart and regarded them as the bragging of young people.
"Okay, okay, why don't you leave now?"
Ace smiled brightly.
Deus sighed and was too lazy to argue with passers-by. He looked at the port and said, "I ran away from home a year ago just to come here and have a look. Who knew there was a storm, and my boat capsized and ran aground there?" I'm so lucky to have met you."
Deus sincerely lamented that fate is so strange.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, why do you want to come here?" Ace asked curiously while walking on the busy street.
"I heard that this is the best hospital in the East China Sea, and my bastard father admires it very much. He wants to send me to study here, but, you know, I don't like to be a doctor. My dream is to be able to write Great ocean adventure novels, like Mr. Louis Arnold's Liars, with all kinds of rich adventures, novels with giants and little gardens. So I snuck out."
Deus said happily: "However, I am still full of curiosity and yearning for this place. A train that can run on the sea, a paradise island with fishmen, and a medical island with the most powerful hospital in the East China Sea are also part of the adventure. "
"Yes Yes"
Ace laughed, sniffed, and said, "Oh, I smell delicious food, barbecue, barbecue."
Ace and Deus were already hungry after sailing all the way, so they ran directly to the door of the restaurant.
“Barati Restaurant”
Deuce came from a wealthy family, both parents were doctors. He was also a medical student, so naturally he read newspapers frequently. He said: "This is the most famous restaurant in the East China Sea. It was a place where I returned after traveling on the Grand Line for a year. A restaurant on the sea opened by the great pirate Redfoot Zepp with a bounty of 3000 million Baileys."
"Shouldn't the sea restaurant be on the sea?" Ace was curious.
The customers queuing up at the door smiled and said: "The real sea restaurant Barati is naturally on the sea. This is just the branch of Barati Restaurant in Cocosia City. Every day a chef from Barati Restaurant comes to cook. Sometimes, you can even meet Zhepu himself."
"Big Pirate Zep" Ace scratched his chin.
"The person in charge today is Sanji, the sous chef of Barati at Sea Restaurant." the guest said.
After queuing for a while, it was finally Ace and Deuce's turn. The two sat down at the table. The burly waiter with a ferocious expression smiled awkwardly and said, "Dear guests, what would you like to order?"
This is also the specialty of Barati Restaurant. Other restaurants are full of fashionable and lovely beautiful waiters, but Barati Restaurant is full of fierce villains. However, some customers like this tone.
"I want all the delicious food," Ace said.
"In this way, our main recommendation today is the romantic sweetheart set meal. Would you like two guests to order one?"
“Then have one.”
In the kitchen, Sanji rolled up his sleeves and cooked food calmly. After following Zhepu, he was carefully cultivated by Zhepu, who often hit and scolded him. Coupled with his hard work and hard work, his cooking skills improved day by day. It can be said that his current The position of sous chef is worthy of its name.
And this branch of Barati Restaurant is where Zhepu gave him training.
Ace has a huge appetite, and he is a big eater just like Luffy. However, Sanji is not an ordinary chef. He handles all kinds of ingredients quickly, even special ingredients from the Grand Line and the Windless Zone. , which is one of the reasons why Zhepu and Sanji are willing to cooperate with the Arkham Group.
Both Zepp and Sanji have dreams of "allblue", which is said to be a place where ingredients from all over the world are brought together by chefs.
And after the Arkham Group opened up the waterway to the Grand Line, it could always bring back some ingredients that were not available in the East China Sea.
In addition to the special ingredients from the Grand Line and the Windless Zone, there are also various seafood from Paradise Island Marine Ranch, such as sea fish, kelp, seaweed, etc., which Zhepu and Sanji have never seen before.
When Ace was eating fried rice, he suddenly fell into the rice, which shocked the guests around him, but Deus was not surprised. This problem occurred after Ace ate half of the fruit. As a doctor, Deus couldn't find the cause of his illness and could only attribute it to the side effects of the Devil Fruit.
Yes, devil fruits.
On Sixsis, that overly beautiful island, Ace, who was extremely hungry, found a fruit.
None of them knew it was a devil fruit.
Ace generously gave the fruit to Deus, but Deus felt guilty about his selfishness and refused.
But Ace still divided the fruit into two halves. He took a bite first, and Deus also ate it. It was the most unpleasant and delicious food he had ever eaten. After that, Deus became Ace's partner. , and Ace also awakened the ability of the Devil Fruit, and after a short period of training, with the help of Ace's fire ability, he broke out of the special ocean current surrounding Xixis Island.
Whenever Ace fell into the rice bowl, Deus would recall that time on the island and smile knowingly.
However, the waiters at the Barati restaurant didn't know that. They thought Ace had fainted because of eating the food in the restaurant, and they were so scared that their faces turned pale.
"Sanji, go to the front and take a look. Something happened."
Sanji put the cooked dishes on the plate, turned off the fire, wiped his hands with a towel, and walked out of the kitchen. He found a cigarette from his trouser pocket, lit it with a match, and walked around the waiter's table. He picked up the spoon, took a spoonful of fried rice, and put it into his mouth.
Sanji swallowed the fried rice, and in the surprised eyes of the guests, he calmly said: "There is nothing wrong with my food."
The guests nodded subconsciously because they both ate the same plate of fried rice. If there was something wrong with the food, Sanji would not be so calm.
"what"
Ace, who was lying on the table, suddenly sat up straight and continued to eat as if nothing had happened. While stuffing food into his mouth, he looked at Sanji and the others and asked doubtfully: "What's the matter with you?"
"Obviously something is wrong with you, okay?" The waiters stared.
Ace smiled and said: "Sorry, sorry, don't pay attention to such small things."
"Almost dying is a trivial matter, and your heart is too big, right?"
Sanji exhaled the smoke and said: "Since everything is fine, let's settle the bill. The total is million Baileys."
"How many"
Deus raised his voice involuntarily.
"One and four hundred thousand beli, here's the bill." Sanji took the list from the waiter and put it on the table.
Deus subconsciously glanced at the piles of plates and dishes on the table, swallowed, and suddenly felt that the future was bleak. With Ace's appetite, how many Baileys would they have to earn every day to support themselves? Get up
"Hey, Ace, do you have Bailey?" Deus asked in a low voice.
Ace puffed up his cheeks and said loudly: "Ah, what are you talking about? How can I have something like Bailey?"
Deus: ""
He also knew that his question was nonsense, and he couldn't help but regret why they didn't bring some treasure with them when they left Sixsis. There were many pirates there who dreamed of finding treasures, but instead lost their lives. property.
"Hey, don't you want to eat the King's meal?" Sanji said flatly. He followed Zhepu, but starting from working as a waiter, he could tell at a glance which customers were rich and which were not. Ace and Deus knew that these two guys were poor people, so they threw out the bill before they had finished their meal.
Ace raised his head, grinned brightly, and said, "So what, chef? We are pirates. Isn't it normal for pirates to eat King's Meal?"
"Oh, you are so brave. You dare to come here and blatantly say that you are a pirate. But, do you know that even if you are a pirate, you must abide by the law here, you bastard who eats the King's meal?"
Sanji raised his legs high, pushed down, and kicked Ace and the dining table to the ground.
Seeing Sanji take action, the guests around him were not afraid, but instead whistled happily.
"well played"
"Brother Sanji did a great kick."
The guests are making noises, and coming to the Barati restaurant to watch the chefs fight with the guests is also a fun after-dinner show.
"Ace, how are you? Are you okay?" Deus quickly picked up Ace.
Ace patted the dust on his body, smiled and said to Sanji: "Not bad, chef brother, this kick is very powerful, how about you become my partner? We happen to be short of a chef."
"boring"
Sanji blew out a smoke ring and said, "If you can't afford the meal, you have to stay here and work until you pay back the meal."
"That's not possible. I'm going to the Grand Line. How can I stay here?" Ace said.
"The Grand Line only has guys like you"
Sanji shook his head and said, "You are really good at telling lies."
"It seems that I have been underestimated." Ace's eyes burned with fire, and then his whole body burned with fire.
The scorching temperature suddenly made the restaurant feel like it was next to a fire, and the guests all left out because they couldn't bear the heat.
Even the staff at the Barati restaurant who picked up folding stools and spatulas and prepared to fight, all stepped back unconsciously.
Deus crossed his arms with confidence. He had followed Ace these days, but after seeing Ace's true power, coupled with the characteristics of the natural devil fruit, he suddenly raised Ace's strength to a level Beyond the level of most pirates in the East China Sea.
"Devil Fruit Flame"
The fire was burning right in front of him, but Sanji didn't have any fear and looked at Ace calmly.
"Yes, this is the natural devil fruit. Aren't you afraid of the power of the burning fruit?" Ace asked in surprise.
Sanji put out his cigarette and said, "If a chef is afraid of fire, how can he be a chef?"
After Sanji finished speaking, he spun around and kicked Ace.
call
Sanji's feet passed through Ace's body as if through fire. Ace said: "It's useless, you can't hit me. I am the flame, and the flame is me."
Ace's body became elemental, like a burning flame. Then, he punched out a fist, wrapped in flames, and met Sanji's kick. When his strength was insufficient, Sanji was punched. Fly out.
"I told you, you can't beat me," Ace said, not taking advantage of the victory and still standing where he was.
Sanji coughed and stood up, glanced at the burnt trousers, said nothing, and rushed forward again, kicking his feet.
"What a fighting spirit"
Ace smiled, seeing Sanji struggling to attack him, he immediately thought of Luffy who kept challenging him.
A whistle sounded, and police officers on patrol rushed to the restaurant.
"Stop, what's going on here"
The battle was interrupted. When Deus saw that they were wearing uniforms, he realized something was wrong and quickly called Ace and said, "Run away."
"it is good"
Ace said with a smile as he knocked Sanji away.
The police officer who arrived often patrolled the area and knew Sanji. When he saw him being beaten away, he instinctively shouted: "Stop"
Ace and Deus naturally wouldn't listen to him and rushed out directly.
The officers approached him with their weapons drawn.
"Get out of my way"
Ace punched out, and a flame shot out like a snake. The policeman was startled, and he immediately dodged to the side and rolled to the ground.
Ace took the opportunity to escape from the restaurant with Deus.
The police officer stood up in embarrassment, grabbed his hat, put the whistle to his mouth, and chased him out of the restaurant, blowing the whistle and shouting: "Catch them"
Sanji climbed up from the pile of broken tables and chairs, veins appeared on his forehead, and shouted angrily: "Damn it, stop, this guy."
"Sanji, forget it, forget it." The waiter in the store quickly held him down.
"Leave it to the police."
"Yes, yes, do you want to go to the hospital?"
Sanji blew white air from his nostrils and walked out of the store like a bull, but seven or eight big men fell on him, hugging his legs, pulling his arms, and hugging his waist. It was impossible for him to Beating his own people, he could only helplessly watch Ace and Deus escape.
News spread quickly that two guys who claimed to be pirates were arrested after having a meal at Barati Restaurant and beating up the chef of Barati Restaurant.
"Listener friends, good afternoon, I am your favorite Arkham Radio host Lisa, and now I am inserting an urgent news from the police station. There are two dangerous pirates who have sneaked into the city of Cocosia. Their Characteristics: Male, with black hair, wearing a cowboy hat and an orange shirt. If anyone has witnessed it or has any clues about it, please find the patrol police near you and report the crime to them."
"Hurry, they are chasing you ahead."
"catch them"
A team of police officers quickly raced through the streets.
When the surroundings calmed down, Ace and Deus emerged from the bushes.
"Damn it, the police officers here have very good noses. As soon as we show up, police officers will come over in less than a minute." Deus muttered.
"Didn't you hear? It should be the credit of that broadcast. As soon as passers-by see us, they will report the crime. In that case, as long as we appear in front of the crowd, we will be exposed." Ace said.
"What should I do now? I definitely can't go to the port. There are more people there." Deus said.
Ace thought for a while and said, "I have a good idea."
"what"
"As long as we defeat the ruler here, we can go out and become famous in the East China Sea."
Ace's eyes burned with fire.
"Ah, you are crazy. Didn't you hear? He ordered the killing of more than a thousand pirates and was regarded as a terrifying figure by the East China Sea pirates." Deus was surprised.
"Hahaha, Deus, my enemies are all over the world. I will defeat the Shichibukai, the Four Emperors, and even the Celestial Dragons."
Ace spoke grandly and said loudly: "Deus, you have forgotten, I said that if I want to surpass the Pirate King, defeating this famous demon ruler in the East China Sea will be the starting point for us to sail towards the great sea. One day, I will Let our name resound throughout the world.”
Deus looked at Ace in surprise. On the one hand, he was shocked by his ambition, and on the other hand, he was infected by his courage.
After all, we are all young people with passionate dreams.
In this way, two passionate young people with dreams no longer evaded the pursuit of the police. Instead, they took the initiative to show up and defeated two or three teams of police officers in a row, causing quite a stir in the city of Cocosia.
When Ace and Deus had a big fuss in Cocosia City, Liszt was not in the territory, but on an island in the windless zone.
The Windless Zone is one of the most dangerous restricted areas in the pirate world. In the ocean here are huge super-large sea kings, and there are all kinds of weird and mysterious lives.
In addition to all kinds of gigantic life forms, there are also islands in the Windless Zone, such as Daughter Island where the Nine Snakes live.
Because they are in the windless zone and do not have the various climates brought by the monsoon, most of the islands in the windless zone are bare desert islands. Only close to the edge of the windless zone, there are occasionally seeds from high in the sky. Falling down and taking root on the desert island, the tenacity of life can be reflected, and only then will green mountains and forests appear.
In the windless zone, not only the creatures become huge, but even the trees will undergo mutations and become extraordinarily huge.
Since the fishmen moved into Paradise Island, Liszt asked Shark Star to take the fishmen to explore the surrounding sea areas and draw a sea map.
The dangers of the Windless Zone made even the fishmen dare not set foot there easily. Fortunately, Liszt turned around and came to Mianjin to meet him.
Although Mianjin would have to kneel down when he met a powerful super-large sea king, but with his size, ordinary super-large sea kings were really no match for him. It was still possible to explore the edge of the windless zone.
Moreover, Mianzumi has been learning fish-man karate recently. Once he learns it, his strength will definitely increase dramatically.
The previous Mianjin Jian was like a reckless man who only knew how to punch with brute force, and did not exert one-tenth of his own strength at all.
The island where Liszt is currently staying is the result of exploration by the fish people.
This is a volcanic island formed after the eruption of a submarine volcano, the strata rose to form a continental shelf, and the magma surged up and cooled.
According to the analysis of Professor Mortensen of the Geographic Research Department, this island has a history of at least three thousand years. The volcano on the island has been aborted over the years and turned into an extinct volcano. The trees on the island have also Mainly tall trees, similar to the tree species on the islands outside the windless zone.
At this time, in the dense forest deep inside the island.
"Work quickly"
“Do you still want to eat?”
Since the failed assassination of Liszt, the cat-man brothers have become prisoners. One of them is holding a whip and shouting arrogantly.
Under their shouts and curses, strong men dared to be angry but did not speak out, moving huge rocks and trees, and these strong men were all pirates who had survived the trial not long ago.
Professor Mortensen, leaning on a cane, followed Lister and inspected the construction site.
Liszt glanced at the cat-man brothers. The cat-man brothers, who had looked fierce just now, immediately showed a flattering look.
"Lord Lord"
Professor Mortensen frowned, looking down on the two flattering brothers.
Liszt reprimanded and said: "Although they are prisoners, they are also human beings. Be nice to them."
"Yes, the lord is so kind." George bowed his waist and smiled shyly.
Lister and Mortensen walked away, and Lister asked: "According to the current progress, how long will it take to complete the project?"
"It should be completed by May," Mortensen said.
Liszt nodded slightly, stepped on the wood and said: "After the completion, Arkham Academy was split into two parts. The research department and the special class were all moved here. Now the world government has increased its attention to us."
Although the World Government awarded Lister the Medal of Honor and Nobility, it was also a signal that the top leaders of the World Government had noticed Lister's existence.
What's more, as Liszt becomes more mature, he can't hide it even if he wants to. It's just that the Arkham Group still seems weak and immature in front of the huge organization of the World Government, and some things still need to be covered up.
