"Xia Qi, don't you know me? According to the old rules, give me three cocktails.”Smogue grinned.
At the same time, he called Jack and Dusky to sit down.
"Hmm? So it's Smoggy. Okay, wait a moment.”Because Smoggy was wearing casual clothes, Xia Qi didn't recognize him immediately. However, she looked at Jack curiously.
Because Dusky and Smoggy were often punished by Karp to hunt Sea Kings, Xia Qi had seen them before. However, she was a little curious about Jack, who was wrapped in a black robe.
Everyone knew that Xia Qi was in the intelligence business, so she naturally couldn't help but size up a person who piqued her curiosity.
However, at this time, Jack had already turned around and sat down, leaving her with only a black back view, which made him look especially mysterious.
"Captain, we are about to set off for the new world. Just thinking about it makes me excited.”
"Look at you, this captain is going to become the Pirate King, and all of you will become legendary crew members in the future.”
"Shh, Captain, lower your voice. You can't say that here.”
"What's wrong? "My goal is to become the Pirate King. No matter where I am, I will always have this goal.”
……
Not far away, a young man wearing an orange hat was laughing with his three crew members.
He was Ace.
Jack smiled. He had actually met Ace here. No wonder the pirate ship Spade was docked at the dock.
However, Jack smiled when he heard that.
It was not easy to be the Pirate King.
"Hehe, there are really all kinds of people these days. A mere kid wants to become the Pirate King? I think you should become the Turtle King.”Smog naturally heard Ace's high-pitched speech. As a navy officer, he naturally could not help but mock him.
Dusky was drinking with Jack.
Xia Qi, who was at the counter, frowned. She knew Ace's true identity. After Ace arrived, she had already sent someone to inform Riley. It would not be good if Smoggy and Ace had a conflict.
After all, this place was not far from the navy headquarters.
"What did you say?"
Ace stood up and glared at Smoggy angrily.
His three crew members also stood up and glared fiercely at Smog. Although they also felt that Ace was bragging, as crew members, they naturally had to stand behind the captain.
Smoggy stood up lazily and said disdainfully,""Spade Pirates? I heard that you guys are doing well in the East China Sea. Unfortunately, in the new world, you guys are just a bunch of rookies. How dare you dream of becoming the Pirate King? Are you going to make your opponents laugh to death?”
"Puchi!" Dusky couldn't help but laugh.
Jack's lips curled up slightly. Under his intervention, even though Smoggy entered the naval academy, he did not change his ruffian aura. He was a completely different person from the Smoggy in the anime.
However, Jack preferred the current Smoggy.
"Newbie!" The veins on Ace's forehead bulged when he heard that. He raised his fist and shouted angrily at Smog,"Since you dare to question my determination to become the Pirate King, then let's fight!”
After saying that, Ace threw a punch at Smogue.
"Heavens, this reckless fellow!”Xia Qi, who was at the counter, couldn't help but cover her forehead. She cursed Riley in her heart. He only cared about teaching Ace cultivation and didn't let him change his bad temper.
Jack was also slightly stunned, but it was no wonder. If he didn't have such a bad temper, how could Ace dream of challenging the White Beard Pirates not long after entering the new world?
"I'm not afraid of you!"
Smogg snorted coldly, and his entire body instantly turned into white smoke. Ace's punch pierced through his chest, and a powerful Battle Aura erupted, but it did not hurt him at all.
"Boom!"
On the contrary, Smoggy took the opportunity to punch down and send Ace flying.
"Elementalization? I didn't expect you to be a Devil Fruit user with the Nature Element. I've underestimated you.”Ace wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Smoggy with a solemn gaze.
He didn't expect Smoggy to be a Demon Fruit ability user, so he was careless and suffered a small loss.
"Now you know how powerful I am. You can't even defeat me, and you still want to become the Pirate King? I advise you to go back to the East China Sea and dream. Hahaha!" Smoggy laughed proudly.
"I was careless just now, but it's too early for you to be smug. Hmph!" Ace snorted coldly.”
After saying that, Ace rushed over again. This time, not only did he erupt with powerful Battle Aura, but he also erupted with the domineering aura of his equipment.
His fist instantly turned into black iron, extremely hard. Carrying a fierce, armed, domineering aura, he ruthlessly smashed towards Smogue.
Smoggy's eyes immediately focused, and his expression became solemn.
He could clearly feel the domineering aura of the powerful weapon. This punch was much more terrifying than the previous one, making him feel suffocated.
"How is that possible? " This kid…" Smogg's heart was slightly flustered, but he had received many years of hell training from Karp and quickly reacted. White smoke arms rolled out from his body and wrapped around Ace tightly.
However, these white smoke arms were all shattered by Ace's punches. His fists were armed and domineering, enough to hurt Smoggy.
"Ninth rank!"
Not far away, Jack, who was sitting and drinking, narrowed his eyes.
Ace was actually a warrior of the ninth step like him.
The only difference was that Ace had just advanced to Rank-9 not long ago and was in the early stages of Rank-9.
Jack had already reached the peak of the ninth step.
However, Jack did not expect Ace to be so powerful even after missing the Fire Fruit.
With such strength, Ace would be able to roam freely in the new world. No wonder in One Piece's anime, the navy even invited Ace to become the Seven Martial Seas. It was also no wonder that Ace would challenge White Beard so quickly.
It had to be said that Ace had really inherited the powerful talent of his father, Pirate King Roger.
However, Jack probably did not expect that it was all thanks to Riley's guidance. Otherwise, Ace would not have grown so quickly.
"Boom!"
At this moment, Smoggy was sent flying by Ace's punch and fell heavily to the ground.
Although Smoggy was powerful, he was only at the eighth step after all. How could he be Ace's match?
"Now you know how powerful I am, right?”Looking at Smoggy, who had been defeated by him, Ace immediately laughed loudly.
Smoggy gritted his teeth and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His face was filled with anger and unwillingness.
"The people inside, listen up. You've been surrounded by the navy. Hurry up and hand over the members of Spade Pirates.”At this moment, the loud sound of a loudspeaker suddenly came from outside.
It was a group of navy soldiers who had surrounded Xia Qi's bar from afar.
"Navy!"
Ace was too lazy to continue paying attention to Smoggy. He looked at the group of navy soldiers outside with a solemn expression.
