Chapter 533 - The Man With a 4 Billion Bounty, the Surprised Straw Hat Pirates!
Alabasta, Port city.
In the corner of the city, the Straw Hat Pirates gathered around Luffy and Ace, looking at the two brothers who had reunited.
Ace didn’t chat with Luffy first. Instead, he bowed to the members of the Straw Hat Pirates and looked at them with a smile.
“Hello everyone, I am Luffy’s older brother Portgas D. Ace. Everyone, thank you for taking care of my brother during this period of time.”
Ace had learned etiquette from Makino.
Especially after he met Itachi, he learned a lot from Itachi, such as how to greet his brother’s companions.
This kind of polite appearance made the whole Straw Hat Pirates couldn’t help but be surprised. Their unreliable captain actually had such a polite brother?
Sanji couldn’t help but take out a cigarette and slowly shook his head, “It’s hard to imagine that such a polite person is actually Luffy’s brother…”
“Yes…”
Nami’s expression was also very subtle.
Ace lit the cigarette for Sanji. He smiled and continued, “I understand Luffy’s personality. He must have caused a lot of trouble for everyone… I’m sorry for making you worry about his willfulness.”
“No, no, no, in fact, it’s not too much…”
Nami waved her hand in embarrassment.
The other people in the Straw Hat Pirates also couldn’t help but wave their hands because, in front of Ace, these people really couldn’t slander Luffy.
Zoro held his sword, closed his eyes, and said in a low voice, “Luffy is our captain, and he is very reliable in some things…”
“…”
Everyone present nodded at Zoro’s words.
“Is that so?”
Ace had a smile on his face. He turned around and patted Luffy on the shoulder. He smiled and praised, “Looks like Luffy has really grown up. He has already become a qualified captain…”
“…”
The people of the Straw Hat Pirates turned their heads to one side.
In fact, they were just a little polite. Most of the time, Luffy, the captain, was not reliable at all!
If the Straw Hat Pirates were in danger, then Luffy was the most reliable person; If the Straw Hat Pirates were not in danger, in fact, Luffy was the one who brought danger to them…
Just as they were about to talk, Nami suddenly thought of something and looked at Ace in surprise and bewilderment, “Eh? Portgas D. Ace, the strongest supernova in pirate history three years ago, his bounty exceeded one billion beli in the first year!”
Portgas D. Ace was indeed famous.
This was because Sasuke had defeated Red Hair Pirates’ vice-captain, Benn Beckman. Many people believed that Ace could become one of the new world’s Yonko(Four Emperors). In the end, he directly joined Whitebeard Pirates after losing.
This matter was published in the newspaper.
Because Portgas D. Ace could be called the strongest pirate from the East Blue in the past few years and was once featured in the East Blue news.
It was not strange that Nami had heard about him.
The entire face of the Straw Hat Pirates couldn’t help but look at Ace in surprise. Luffy, this polite brother, his identity was really not ordinary!
“Hehehe… actually, I am not that strong.”
Ace couldn’t help but chuckle and shake his head. He reached out his hand and knocked on Luffy’s forehead. He continued softly, “What’s more, those things have already passed. Now I am only Whitebeard Pirates’ 2nd division captain…”
“Whitebeard Pirates!”
Nami suddenly clenched her palm and couldn’t help but frown. She then said, “Is it… the world’s strongest pirate group, Whitebeard Pirates?”
“That’s right.”
A trace of confidence flashed across Ace’s face.
Nami’s hand got closer and closer, her face gradually becoming ugly. She slowly opened her mouth and continued to ask, “Do you have a person called Jinbe in your pirate group?”
“Yes, do you know him?”
Ace looked at Nami with curiosity and smiled, “Jinbe is the captain of our 8th division. I have a good relationship with him. Do you need my help to bring him greetings?”
Originally, the captain of the 8th division was the Fish-man Namur.
Since Jinbe was driven out of Fishman Island by Kisame, he led the Fish-man Pirates to join Whitebeard Pirates, and Namur took the initiative to give his position as division captain to Jinbe.
Because of Jinbe’s straightforward character and loyalty, Ace and Jinbe were like-minded, and the relationship between the two was really good.
“No, no need.”
Nami shook her head.
The others in the Straw Hat Pirates could see what Nami was thinking.
Because when Zoro and Sanji were visiting Cocoyashi Village, they learned about her past and Arlong Pirate from Nami’s sister Nojiko. The purpose of Nami joining the Straw Hat Pirates was to defeat Jinbe!
“Ace, help me pass a message!”
Luffy clenched his fist and looked at his brother with a serious expression, “Tell that guy called Jinbe that I will definitely defeat him!”
“Eh?”
A series of question marks flashed across Ace’s face. He held his hat and asked in surprise, “Did Jinbe do something wrong? His personality…”
Luffy clenched his fist and continued, “Including that guy Jinbe and that Whitebeard, I will defeat all of them!”
This was his promise to Nami!
Because Nami had always been in fear of Jinbe and Whitebeard Pirates, especially after Baroque Works was disbanded, this feeling became more and more serious.
So far…
Nami was still worried about Jinbe taking revenge for Arlong.
“Eh?”
Ace’s face became even more curious, and his lips curled into a smile, “It is exactly the same as me in the past. Luffy, do you want to challenge the strongest man on the sea too? This is beyond imagination…”
Luffy shook his head, his face filled with unprecedented persistence, “No matter who he is, no matter how difficult it is, I will defeat him!”
“But you can’t even beat me…”
Ace reached out two fingers and knocked on Luffy’s forehead. He smiled and said, “Forget it, then I’ll wait for you to become stronger! When you want to challenge Pops in the future, you have to pass me first!”
This difficulty was not low at all!
Even the current Ace was not comparable to the entire Straw Hat pirates. He was a famous pirate in the New World, where monsters were everywhere!
Zoro frowned and looked at the awkward atmosphere. He couldn’t help but ask, “Speaking of which, will your companion really be okay? That guy called Uehara Naraku is a very strong man…”
“Will not.”
Ace shook his head with a confident smile on his face. He trusted his companion more than anyone else, “Even if he is an Admiral, it’s impossible for him to defeat Sasuke… I think it won’t be long before he comes to us… Eh?”
Ace’s eyes moved slightly, and he saw Sasuke walking toward them. He waved his hand and shouted, “Hey, Sasuke, over here!”
“…”
Sasuke silently looked at the young man who was waving his hand.
In the next moment, Sasuke’s figure instantly disappeared from everyone’s sight and appeared directly beside everyone in an instant!
This move surprised everyone present!
“OHHHHHH…”
When Luffy and Chopper saw Sasuke, their eyes almost lit up, “Was that teleportation just now? So handsome!”
“I didn’t see any movements at all…”
Zoro looked at the appearance of Sasuke, and his eyes were slightly surprised. “He actually came here from such a far place in an instant…”
“Why did it take so long?”
When Ace saw Sasuke return, his expression was still doubtful, “Sasuke, is that vice admiral very troublesome?”
“He is not the kind of troublesome…”
Sasuke could not help but frown and shake his head. Just how confident was Ace that he could think that Uehara was only troublesome!
Moreover…
Uehara gave him an order and announced that the undercover mission was over. Sasuke took the initiative to continue the mission and assist Akatsuki in monitoring Whitebeard Pirates’ situation.
In the past few years…
Sasuke was used to everything about Whitebeard Pirates. If possible, Sasuke did not even mind living on the Mobi Dick for the rest of his life.
Unfortunately, all of this was a dream.
Now, he was about to wake up from the dream.
When Sasuke slowly shook his head and sighed, he saw Nico Robin in the Straw Hat Pirates, which made his expression change again.
Nico Robin, this woman…
The Straw Hat Pirates also has spy planted…
“Ace…”
Sasuke looked at Ace and said in a deep voice, “If there is nothing else, let’s find a place to talk!”
“Eh?”
Ace looked at Sasuke in surprise.
While Ace and Sasuke were discussing things on the other side, the Straw Hat Pirates were still looking at Sasuke.
Nami looked at Sasuke and couldn’t help but praise him, “Sister Robin, that Sasuke is really handsome…”
“Not only is he handsome…”
Robin smiled and added, “Sasuke is also very powerful. Last year, his bounty already exceeded four billion beli, which is comparable to a Yonko(Four Emperors) ruling the New World…”
“Four… four billion!”
This number truly frightened everyone present.
Nico Robin calmly shook her head and continued in a low voice, “The World Government thinks that Sasuke is the most dangerous monster in this era. It is said that he likes to call himself Evil Eye and has incredible power.”
“Evil Eye?”
Everyone looked at Sasuke.
Coincidentally, at this time, Sasuke talked to Ace and revealed a scarlet light that made people shiver.
It seemed like…
His eyes were indeed evil!
Zoro’s lips curled into a smile, and a hint of eagerness on his face, “Robin, that Sasuke is a swordsman, right?”
“Perhaps…”
Nico Robin slowly nodded her head and said in a low voice, “But the World Government has specially published a piece of news about Sasuke. The sword on Sasuke should be one of the 12 Supreme Grade Blades – Kusanagi Sword…”
“Another Supreme Grade Blade…”
Zoro revealed a hint of battle intent.
A super pirate with a bounty of more than four billion!
This super pirate was a swordsman with a Supreme Grade Blade. Even if Zoro knew that he was no match for him, he couldn’t help but want to challenge Sasuke!
Nico Robin saw the fighting spirit on Zoro’s face and said calmly, “If you want to challenge him, it is best not to pick this time because I feel that he is not in a good mood right now…”
