"I've traveled through time!" In the dim room, looking at himself in the mirror, he had black hair, normal skin color, and freckles on his cheeks. Looking at the orange hat next to him, he felt like he was still dreaming.
It's just that when I wake up from sleep, I feel like a different person and a different world. It doesn't feel real at all.
He raised his palm and stretched out his index finger. With a 'pop' sound, a handful of flames jumped out from between his fingers.
Looking at the flames jumping between his fingers, the young man remained silent for a long time. After a long time, he sighed softly, "Now I can be sure that I have indeed traveled through time."
And he traveled to the exciting world of One Piece. More importantly, I also became the sworn brother of Pig Knuckle King Luffy, and the even more powerful Fire Fist Ace who had just obtained the Burning Fruit. There is no need to be like other time-travelers, who have to work hard to plan how to get a powerful devil fruit. As an anime fan, I should be excited about this kind of time-travel, but... why can't I be excited?
"The world of pirates... I should be excited to go through it, but why can't I get excited? How strange!" He rubbed his somewhat scattered hair, picked up the hat next to him and put it on his head. The boy stood up and pushed away When he walked out of the room, he was immediately greeted by an approaching sound.
"Huh? Captain Ace, you're out!"
"Wow! Captain Ace, you are still alive!"
"Wow! Captain Ace~, you locked yourself in your room for several days and didn't come out. We all thought you were dead."
…
When a group of weird-looking guys saw Ace walking out of the room, they immediately made a wailing sound, and all kinds of saliva and snot flew. This scene... is so damn familiar!
"These guys... are too exaggerated!" Looking at the wailing 'alien' in front of him, the boy... well, now it's Ace, he suddenly doubted his life, and casually slapped away a two-meter-tall flying towards him. A tall and strong man, he shouted: "By the way, who are you guys?"
"Huh? Captain Ace, don't you recognize us?"
"Wow! Captain Ace, are you going to abandon us?"
"Wow! Is it because you ate the Devil Fruit and gained great power that you no longer need crew members like us?"
After hearing Ace's words, these guys cried even harder, beating their chests and feet one by one, like abandoned little wives...
"Captain?" The young man heard the names of these people, his eyes narrowed, and he secretly calculated in his mind, "Has the pirate group been established? It seems that it was just established, and judging from the situation, the Burning Fruit must have just been obtained. , it seems that the timeline should be shortly after Ace went to sea."
"If you haven't entered the new world and joined the Whitebeard Pirates...if you haven't become famous in the world, then the navy probably doesn't know Ace's true identity yet!"
"Well, is it really because of that Devil Fruit? I've long heard that Devil Fruit is extremely unpalatable, but I didn't expect it to be so unpalatable that even a man like Captain Ace would doubt his life!" A man close to three inches tall Mi, a man wearing a gray cloak with curly hair and a sword hanging on his waist slowly walked over, looked at Ace, and said seriously.
Looking up, the young man realized that this person was not weak.
"Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense, who would doubt the devil fruit because it tastes bad..." The boy said, suddenly stopped, and then said: "Well, I guess I do doubt life a little bit."
Looking back on Ace's life, although it was short, it was very exciting. If you look at it as an outsider, you would feel a little regretful at most. But now that he has become Ace himself, he will not let Ace repeat the fate in the original work. After all... it was too short-lived. He died at the age of twenty. He still wanted to live a few more years.
"Looks like there's still time!" the young man thought in his heart, and had already begun to put himself into the character of Ace.
"I, maybe because of eating the Mera-Mera no mi, my mind has been a little confused recently. By the way, what is your name? How long has our pirate group been established?" the boy asked.
"My name is Gambi. As for the pirate group." Gambi looked at Ace with suspicion and said, "Because you, captain, will not turn eighteen in one month, so our pirate group is not officially established yet. ."
"What? The establishment of the Pirates Group, what does it have to do with whether I am over 18 years old?" The boy had a question mark on his face, then waved his hand and said: "Forget it, since the Pirates Group has not been established yet, then for some reason It doesn't matter, then…bye."
In the original work, he didn't remember that there were strong men in Ace's Spade Pirates. But now that he has become Ace himself, and he is unhappy with Ace's fate in the original work, he must try to change it. And if he wanted to become stronger, bringing a bunch of less powerful brothers would definitely slow him down. Originally, he was thinking of some reason to disband this newly formed pirate group, but now it's okay, since it hasn't been officially established yet. , no need to even think about the reason.
"Bang!" The moment the young man turned around, a long sword suddenly fell from in front of him and hit him hard.
"Ace, are you serious about what you just said?" The swordsman named Gambi stood in front of Ace, looking at him expressionlessly and asked.
Behind him, the group of funny people with tears and runny noses just now seemed to be a different person. They all looked at him with gloomy faces and eyes like falcons.
The young man did not speak, his eyes swept over the faces of these people one by one. For some reason, a strong emotion suddenly began to brew in his chest. At the same time, a stream of memories flowed through his mind like water.
Those were the emotions and memories that belonged to Ace, but after merging these memories and emotions, for a moment, he felt that the faces in front of him were so familiar.
In Ace's memory, he and the swordsman Gambi have known each other for the longest time. The two got acquainted half a year ago. From being acquaintances at first to a partnership that can go through life and death, they are absolutely trustworthy companions.
And Gambi is not weak. If Ace faced Gambi before eating the mera-mera no mi, even if Ace could win, he would pay a heavy price.
As for the funny guys behind him, they were already on the same page as Ace. After three months of getting along, they had already become trustworthy partners. More importantly, they had just experienced a battle, which was the one before. After the battle to seize the Shayaki Fruit from another pirate group, they were completely conquered by Ace's charisma and upgraded into companions they could trust behind his back.
After accepting Ace's emotions and memories, he knew that he could no longer give up these companions..
