Chapter 372: Friendship
After Garp said goodbye.
Dadan's home.
Luffy's mind is full of images of Higuma: "I hate bandits the most!"
"Shut up! We should be the ones who have a headache to take in a brat like you!! If you don't want to stay here, it's better! Get out and die on the side of the road!!"
"Okay okay, boss, don't be angry."
Luffy ignored the angry Curly Dadan: "I don't have enough food, I want to eat that meat too."
Curly Dadan: "The meat is good, the meat is all the wild beef that Ace hunted back! We also lined up to eat at the table in order to get some wild beef! The bandit world is also in a recession! From tomorrow you will work hard for me!! Cleaning, laundry, shoeshine, sharpening weapons! Listen! You must not let Garp do the things you are asked to do here. Stealing, robbery, fraud, murder!! That guy knows!!"
"Once a day, a bowl of rice, a glass of water! We only protect you! Also, you can't just grow up!"
Luffy: "Got it."
"So calm?! You should beg me with snot and tears?!"
"Grandpa threw me into the jungle before. Earthworms, frogs, snakes, mushrooms, since this is a jungle, I'll definitely be able to eat enough! I'm going to be a man in the marine! I can't do it at this level!"
Hearing the word "marine", Ace's expression changed.
In the original book, Luffy said that he was going to become a pirate, but Ace didn't feel much. He just thought that as long as the stinky boy in front of him didn't come to hinder him, after all, the shadow of his childhood was so serious that he wanted him to accept it easily. Being alone is not an easy task.
Not to mention that what Luffy is talking about now is the marine.
Ace looked at Luffy with a little more disgust, then turned around, left Curly Dadan's house.
"Huh? Where is this guy going?"
Luffy had no self-awareness at all, so he just followed.
Followed to a certain place.
"Hey——! My name is Luffy! I'm not angry anymore about spitting! Come and be my partner!"
Ace slammed a stick on a giant tree in a rage.
The giant tree broke in half, and then kicked the giant tree to Luffy fiercely.
Luffy is not as pathetic as in the original book, and he has also trained on Fishman Island.
He quickly caught up with Ace and came to a bridge.
Ace turned back and knocked Luffy off the cliff.
So, the first contact between the two ended like this.
In the original book, it took Luffy a week to return to Dadan's house. Today, he is slightly stronger, and it took only 4 days to return to Dadan's house.
Afterwards, he still haunted Ace relentlessly, wanting Ace to be his partner.
Ace's shot is heavier than ever.
Heavier than the original!
Luffy, who aimed at the marine, made Ace even more annoying.
The shot is also much heavier than in the original.
Until one day in 3 months, Luffy chased Ace to the Gray Terminal, and he discovered Ace and Sabo's secret base and heard their conversation.
Luffy shouted to the two people on the giant tree: "Pirate ship—?! You two want to be pirates?! Hey—! Stop being a pirate! Become a marine with me, and be my buddy!"
Ace and Sabo were taken aback on the spot.
The secrets of both of them are here!
All the money saved for 5 years is here!
Without saying a word, the two of them worked together to bind Luffy.
Luffy was still dumbfounded, he didn't even resist.
Sabo: "Is that him? You said the guy named Luffy..."
Ace: "Have you come here after all? Obviously, the way to come here is not something ordinary people can take..."
Luffy: "Are you Ace's friend? Come and be my partner too! Let's be a marine together!"
"Shut up! Marine, marine! Do you know what that group of marines is all about?"
"What should I do? The secret has been discovered. If you let him go, it will be revealed..."
"Kill him..."
"Okay, let's decide..."
"Hey~~~~~~~~~~~!!! Wait, wait for me! I never thought I would die! I can't die yet!"
"Idiot! Be honest with me!"
"Sabo, hurry up!"
"What are you talking about! Of course you do it!"
"I've never killed anyone!"
"Me too. I don't know how to do it!"
Two ten-year-old children in a deadlock. Luffy took the opportunity to call for help. The cry for help also successfully attracted the attention of others. At the moment, Ace and Sabo were irritated.
"Not good! Someone is coming!"
"Anyway, untie this guy first! If you don't leave here quickly, the treasure will be discovered!"
The two quickly untied Luffy, and then found a place to hide.
The little gangsters who were robbed by Ace before, also came here with Porchemy at this time. They are all pirates of the Bluejam Pirates.
However, while the two were hiding, Luffy was caught by Porchemy.
"Damn! You damn pirate! Let go of me! I will become a marine in the future and catch you pirates! 32 Brick Fist!"
Snapped!
"Stinky boy, I didn't expect you to have some strength. What kind of strange body is this? Oh, want to be a marine? If I kill you now, you won't be able to be a marine!"
"Ace! Save me!"
"What? You know Ace?"
"Yes, he's my buddy. But he nearly killed me just now."
"Then let me ask you a question. Ace robbed our treasure before. These treasures are very important to our pirate group. Do you know where he hid the treasure?"
Luffy doesn't lie.
His weird expression clearly betrayed his thoughts.
Naturally, he was captured by Porchemy and tortured to extract a confession.
Afterwards, because Luffy refused to betray Ace and Sabo, he finally won the approval of the two, and together they defeated Porchemy and brought Sabo back to Dadan's house.
Things have developed here, and everything is the same as the original.
The difference is that the way the three of them get along has changed.
Luffy was arguing all day long, saying that he wanted to become a marine and that two other people would join me as partners.
The two went back every day, saying that the other party was an idiot and would never join, they wanted to be pirates.
The three often quarrel.
But it did not prevent the relationship between the three of them from deepening day by day.
Hunt together, exercise together, learn together, and rob together.
During this period, they also knew Sabo's true identity, but the relationship between the three did not change because of this. One day soon after, Ace even stole a bottle of wine from Dadan's house, saying that after drinking this bottle of wine, the three would become brothers.
On this day, the three of them raised their glasses at the same time, and stated their dreams and goals before the formal swear.
Sabo: "I want to go to sea! I want to go out of this country, I want to see this vast world! I want to write these experiences into a book! I want to become stronger! I want to become a pirate!"
Ace: "I want to be a pirate, keep winning, keep winning, keep winning! To get the highest reputation! No matter how people in this world don't agree with me, hate me, I want to be a big pirate to make them look good!"
Luffy: "I want to become a marine! I want to catch all the pirates! Then go on an adventure with my buddies! To chase everyone's dreams!"
Three people, look at me, and I look at you.
"Sabo, what a big conspiracy, I thought you were going to be my navigator."
"No! Ace! Aren't you going to be my crew member?!"
"No no no! Aren't you two joining the Marine with me?"
That's it.
Strange alliance was born.
After drinking, they became brothers.
The three of them looked at the sea with great pride.
"In the future, I will definitely become the most powerful pirate!"
"Me too!"
"Luffy, if you meet us in the future, promise us, don't hold back."
"Yeah! Don't hold back. If I defeat you, then you will join me and become a marine together!"
