Chapter 29 The meaning of living (Part )
"What if Goldo Roger had a child? Of course he would be beheaded!"
"How about seeing how many people hate Roger in this world, and stab him to death with the same number of needles!"
"Let's just brand him, then look at him dying, and then laugh at him!"
"Hahahaha! I hope he can leave a message like 'I'm sorry, I'm rubbish, I don't deserve to be in this world'."
Ace's face quickly turned ugly as countless memories reverberated in his mind.
Those unscrupulous slanders and humiliations almost swallowed him up.
Graal's words aroused the violence and paranoia in Ace's heart, and Luffy's injury stimulated Ace. He could no longer care about anything and started fighting with Graal directly.
The fists fell on Graal's fat body again and again.
"You kid! Are you looking for death?" Graal was also stunned by Ace's sudden beating. After he reacted, his sandbag-sized fist was about to fall on Ace's head.
"Ace!" Luffy didn't care about the blood flowing into his eyes or the burning pain on his forehead. He rushed forward and bit Grall's arm.
Graal is not only big in size, but his strength cannot be underestimated. Ace and Luffy have superhuman strength, and there is nothing they can do against Graal.
"Run! Don't get close to him! If he catches you, your bones will be broken!"
There were people who knew Grall at the scene. When they saw him getting angry, they even ran out desperately, and the crowd suddenly became a mess.
Mo An sat where he was, sipping black tea as if he didn't see the chaos over there.
The insults and injuries Ace suffered in childhood cannot be reversed by her in just one or two words. Mo An can fool people into lameness, but is that really what Ace wants?
Mo An doesn't know, but she will always stay with Ace and be his support until he finds his answer, giving him the unbridled willful capital.
Not knowing whose blood it was, the venue for the ramen competition was slowly dyed red.
"That kid...is he a monster?"
Seeing Ace pumping his fists again and again, he didn't show any fear even when Graal caught him and hit him heavily on the ground. He even fought back more ferociously until he knocked down Graal's fat body.
"Yes, is there anyone to stop him?" The voice of the person who asked the question was trembling. "If he continues to fight, someone will die!"
But no one paid any attention to him.
Everyone was frightened by this child's cruelty.
"Hai...the navy is coming!" Suddenly someone shouted: "Great! Let the navy stop him!"
Luffy was accidentally thrown away just now. He felt that his brain was still groggy, but he became more awake when he heard the navy.
He wiped the blood from his forehead, rushed up to hug Ace, and said with a hint of crying in his voice: "Okay Ace! The navy is here, let's go quickly!"
They would occasionally enter Gao Town, and when they attracted soldiers, they would leave quickly. The navy was the same as the soldiers. If they were caught, it would be difficult to escape.
Hearing Luffy's cry, Ace finally stopped his fist, while Graal was already bloody and unconscious.
The sticky blood covered his whole body, making him feel sick and uncomfortable.
The navy was moving very fast, and the black muzzles of gunfire had already surrounded them.
Ace's first reaction was to protect Luffy behind him, watching these gun-wielding marines warily.
This scene is somewhat similar to the time when Sabo was taken away.
Ace scanned these people warily, and unexpectedly saw a woman dressed as a naval officer leading her men towards Mo'an.
Ace was worried and wanted to go up, but he was pointed at a gun and couldn't move.
Why are they looking for Ann?
They were clearly the ones causing trouble.
Ace suddenly remembered that Dadan had said something about the Qibukai being pirates before, and he couldn't help but feel even more worried.
An said those people are friends, so is An also a pirate? Will the navy he has attracted now cause trouble for An again?
Just when Ace was still thinking wildly, he saw Mo An waving to him and seemed to be chatting with the navy.
However, these soldiers with guns didn't know Mo An, so they didn't move and pointed their guns at Ace and the others vigilantly.
"Really, since you are here, why didn't you stop it earlier? Tina is very angry!"
The leading officer was none other than Tina, a user with the power of the Threshold Fruit, who was still a lieutenant in the military.
"Are you sure you want me to take action?" Mo An had a slight smile on his face, but what he said made Tina choke.
"Tina doesn't want to answer your question." Recalling that Mo An usually has a character of total annihilation, even those who can be brought back to the navy for custody are still half-dead. It is better not to let her take action if it is not necessary.
"Then I'm sorry to bother you. The movie phone bug has been broken, but you should know who made the move first." Mo An picked up the shopping bags one by one. "I'll leave first. I'll just write about the gangster fight when I'm not on duty." Okay, remember not to tell Garp~"
She is not close to Tina, but she has some friendship with the troubled boy Smoker. Tina and Smoker have a good relationship, so Tina won't care about this little thing.
In addition, people in the navy also knew that Mo An often fought with Garp, so Tina naturally thought that Mo An did not want to give Garp a reason to beat her.
Seeing Mo An approaching, the gun-wielding navy officer didn't know what he thought of. He immediately put away his gun and stood at attention, looking at Mo An with eyes full of reverence.
If there was one, there were two, and everyone made way for Mo An.
"What are you looking at? Let's go." Mo An waved to the two of them, indicating that they should come quickly.
Ace and Luffy quickly came to Mo An, watching these people warily.
Listening to the whispers of the people next to him, Ace couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"An, have I caused you any trouble..."
"What are you talking about again?" Mo An raised the shopping bag in his hand, "I bought you a lot of new clothes. Let's go. I'll find you a place to take a bath first, and then I'll take you to dinner."
As soon as the silly boy Luffy heard about the meal and new clothes, he immediately forgot all the unpleasantness.
Mo An found a hotel and stuffed the two of them into the bathroom.
"You are not allowed to come out until you are clean."
The laughter spread quickly. Luffy was like a heartless and stupid child. Even if there were unpleasant things, he would forget them very quickly.
Mo An sat at the window and lit a cigarette, feeling a little complicated.
In fact, she is not suitable to take care of children, she will lead people astray, and it is quite uncomfortable for her to suppress her nature these days.
But she was even more uncomfortable seeing Ace like that.
Just when the cigarette was about to burn out, Luffy ran out of the bathroom with a towel covering his head and happily threw himself into the pile of new clothes.
"An!" Ace punched Mo An on the back of the head, "Don't you say smoking is bad for your health?"
"Sorry, sorry," Mo An put out the cigarette butt, "Hurry up and put on new clothes, go out and continue playing in the afternoon."
"Really," Ace picked out his favorite among the new clothes and suddenly said, "Ann, you are a marine, right?"
He had never asked Mo An what he was doing outside these years. When he was at the sea restaurant before, he thought it was the navy who didn't dare to take action when they saw that there were too many people in Mo An.
But thinking about the reaction of those navy just now, it was not right.
"Well," Mo An wanted to light another cigarette, but when he thought of Ace's teeth and claws, he had to give up, "Do you want to come with me?"
"No." Ace refused decisively. "I have my own dream to realize. I want to be a pirate." After a moment of hesitation, he asked Mo An, "Will you stop me?"
Just like what Garp often said, I hope he becomes a navy.
If An must...
If they become enemies in the future...
"Why should I stop you?"
Ace made a move.
"Ace, I'm sorry that I couldn't always be by your side and let you endure so many bad remarks. No matter what you think, I can tell you countless times."
Mo An rubbed the top of Ace's hair and chuckled: "My position is you. No matter you want to be a navy, a pirate, or something else, you will always be my favorite brother."
This was completely different from the usual questioning and abuse, and Ace immediately looked away.
"Ace," Mo An said, "As long as you are in need, I will always stand by your side."
Pretending to look through the new clothes, Ace slowly raised the corners of his mouth, then forced them down awkwardly.
"An, I'm not as smart as you, and I can't figure out many things right now." He put on his coat, and his face no longer looked paranoid and hesitant as before, "but I believe I will find the answer."
"I will also become a super pirate that will impress everyone! Gain the highest reputation! I will prove my existence in my own way! Let my name resound throughout the world!"
He looked at Mo An, with stars twinkling in his eyes.
"An, I will definitely surpass you in the future!"
"Really?" Mo An smiled, "Then I will rely on you in the future!"
"of course!"
"You definitely don't want me to interfere in your adventure, but," Mo An changed the subject and said, "Before you surpass me, if you encounter something that you can't solve again, you must seek help from me, you know. "
"That day will never come!" Ace was very confident about this.
Mo An directly poked the wound on his face, and Ace raised his fist in pain and hit her.
