Chapter 238： Burning will

East China Sea, Goa Kingdom, Windmill Village.

"Ace! Look at you!"

Luffy followed Ace to the Windmill Village to prepare for the upcoming big day.

Ace was eating in Mackinaw's tavern, with the clothes and daily necessities he bought next to him, and packed a big bag.

"what?"

Hearing the shout, Ace turned his head and saw Luffy rushing in, holding a newspaper in his hand.

"Ace! Look! The newspaper says that Mr. Wright has become a ‘Alternate General’!"

"Oh! That's amazing!"

Ace stood up, surprised.

"But, what is the general alternate?"

Luffy tilted his head and became distressed.

"..."

Ace has a black line in his forehead-this idiot, I don't know what it means to be so excited!

"Hehe... Luffy is still so energetic!"

Mackinaw came out carrying a basket of bread and poured a glass of orange juice for Luffy.

"'Admiral Alternate', it seems that I heard Mr. Karp say that he is also a top man in the Navy!"

"Mackinaw!"

Luffy jumped on the chair, grabbed the bread and gobbled it up:

"Mmm..."

"Stupid!"

Ace patted his forehead feebly. Luffy is so off-line, he wouldn't have any problems if he wasn't there, right?

"Swallow what's in your mouth before talking!"

Luffy took a gulp of juice and swallowed the bread: "Ace, General I know, what is the general alternate?"

"The general candidate in the navy headquarters has the strength of the general level. If a general is vacant, he can be promoted directly to the general."

Ace took the newspaper that Luffy had set aside and looked at it carefully.

Sitting in the New World, defending the navy from threats from the "Four Emperors";

Lead the army to fight against the strongest "Four Emperors" White Beard Pirate Group;

Killed the "Drought" Jack of the Beast Pirate Group, and repelled the "Four Emperors" Kaido, who came to retaliate, known as the "strongest creatures"...

Wright’s recent major events appear in the newspapers.

After setting the tone with the Warring States Period, Wright and Morgans discussed that the World Economic News will cooperate with the navy headquarters in the prestige publicity plan.

The record supporting Wright as a candidate for general is to be reported, but it is not written in great detail.

But even so, it is also called Ace, a young man who hasn't gone to sea yet, is full of enthusiasm.

"It's so exciting!"

Ace looked at Wright's report, feeling excited.

"Uncle Wright is already fulfilling his promise..."

"Then I have to cheer!"

"But speaking of it, if I really become a navy, how can I thank Captain Shanks the red-haired?"

"Hmm... Then become stronger. When you fight against him, thank you by the way!"

"Ace, your birthday will be in a few days, are you really ready to go to sea?"

Makino wiped the glass and looked at Ace, who was excited, with some worry.

When Mackinaw went to Dadan from Lufei, he often brought clothes and food for the three brothers, and also taught the three brothers some etiquette.

Since Sabo's affairs, Ace has asked Mackinaw to teach him more etiquette in dealing with others, and strive to become Luffy's "brother".

In Mackinaw's heart, Ace was like his own brother.

Therefore, despite the agreement between the three brothers of "going to sea at the age of seventeen", although Mackinaw supported their decision, she was inevitably worried.

"No problem, Marchino."

When Ace heard the words, he raised his head and smiled confidently: "I am very strong, and ordinary pirates are not my opponent!"

"Soon I will be famous all over the world...you just wait for the good news!"

"Ace, aren't you a pirate?"

Luffy touched the straw hat on his back. The 14-year-old is already very strong with Wright's teachings.

"Haha... Luffy, pirates, navy, or adventurers, what does it matter?"

Ace knocked on Luffy's head: "No matter where we are, no matter what status we become, we are all brothers!"

"We all have dreams that we want to pursue, and moving towards that dream is our purpose of going out to sea!"

"Ok!"

Luffy laughed: "I'm going to be the man of One Piece!"

"Ha! Then you have to be careful, don't be caught by Mr. Wright...!"

"No! I will defeat Mr. Wright together!"

"Hahaha! You can't even beat me!"

...

Finally, it was the day when Ace went to sea.

Standing on the small sailboat, Ace waved goodbye to Luffy, Mackinaw and the bandits who had come to see off on the cliff.

"Goodbye, Luffy!"

"When I go to sea in three years, I will definitely become stronger!" Lu Fei shouted.

The boat drifted away until the shore was no longer visible.

"Ah... this sea is so beautiful, as Uncle Wright said."

After Wright's teaching, Ace had a certain understanding of navigation, and he could tell that it seemed like today was a good day.

"It's not bad to be an adventurer..."

With hope for the future, Ace yawned and fell asleep.

The sea seemed to give face, and the first few days were calm and calm.

He was not a pure stunned Ace, but he had plans for the goal of going out to sea, and he also went to an island to replenish fresh water and food.

"It's not good to eat free meals, Ace-giving money for meals is the most basic moral."

Ace keeps in mind Wright's teachings, but how does the money come...

The pirates can only make a contribution!

A few more days later, Ess was lying on the side of the boat.

The boat was swaying pitifully on the sea, and the mast had been broken. If there was no poor plank to be used as an oar, Ace would have no way to control the direction of the boat.

"Ah...it went well at first, why is it not working at all these few days?"

"It was rainstorm first, then the wind was violent. If it weren't for learning some sailing skills, after listening to Mr. Wright's story that he just went out to sea that year, I'm afraid that the ship would really be destroyed and killed..."

"But the fresh water is almost used up, I haven't seen the island yet..."

Ace sighed and rolled to the other side of the ship: "Huh? What is that?"

At the boundary of the line of sight, the shadow of an island appeared.

"Haha! I shouldn't be dead! Let's go!"

The energetic Ace picked up the plank and desperately rowed the boat towards the island.

"The waters around this island don't seem to be right, this ocean current is so strange!"

Approaching the vicinity of the island, Ace felt something was wrong-the boat was getting faster and faster!

I was being dragged by the special ocean currents around the island, rushing towards the island!

"Wow, good luck... No! How to stop!"

The boat got faster and faster, and finally rushed to the gravelly shore in embarrassment.

"Damn... the bottom of the boat is leaking!"

Ace jumped off the boat-this strange current is simply unreasonable, dragging everything that enters the range to the island!

"But since it's a small island, let's find fresh water and food first!"

Ace, who was almost full of survival skills in the wild, quickly emerged from the worries of damage to the boat and began to prepare for exploring the island.

Touching the dagger at his waist, Ace grabbed the side of the ship and prepared to drag the boat off the coast-in case it was washed away, it would be interesting!

"There seems to be something..."

Ace, who was about to do it, seemed to see something far away attracted by the ocean current was quickly dragged here.

"..."

As that thing approached, Ace's eyes gradually stared out, and his mouth opened so wide that he was about to dislocate!

He will never forget the lesson Wright taught him back then.

That day, Uncle Wright taught the three brothers what a "flame" is!

"Patter!"

The orange-red globular fruit gathered by countless small flame-like spiral fruit patterns was washed ashore and rolled to Ace's feet.

Ace picked up this familiar fruit with trembling hands, and a meaningful word came out of Wright's mind after they finished the class.

"Fate, wonderful!"
