14: Chapter 14 Ace is captured, Luffy is furiousUnder the moonlight, three small figures lay on the grass, chatting about their hopes for the future.Before long, Ace and Sabo fell fast asleep.
"Ding dong, congratulations host for completing the mission.Rewards have been issued: Fruit development progress increased by 10%, Pirate Coins increased by 3000."
Luffy looked at the two of them and secretly vowed in his heart, "Ace, this time, I will absolutely not let you die.What are the three admirals?What is Blackbeard?If anyone dares to hurt you, even if it's Marineford, I will still destroy it."
Looking at Sabo again, Luffy thought of how Sabo, filled with hatred for the nobles and disgusted by their ugly faces, eventually decided to take them with him when he believed they had died in the fire.However, they encountered the Celestial Dragons, their ship was sunk by cannon fire, and Sabo lost his memory.It was only the news of Ace's death that awakened his long-dormant memories."But this time, System, exchange something for me to save my life."
"500 Pirate Coins have been deducted from the host's account for exchanging for a Golden Light Talisman."
Golden Light Talisman: Can protect the user from one fatal injury.After use, it automatically covers the body with an invisible protective film.
"Good stuff!" Luffy immediately tossed the golden light talisman onto Sabo.The talisman quickly transformed into a beam of light and entered Sabo's body."That'll do.Even if Sabo gets hit by a cannonball in the future, he won't be seriously injured or lose his memory."
After doing all that, Luffy quietly lay down and fell asleep.
For the next period of time, the three boys trained their own skills.Occasionally, Luffy would point out the flaws in Ace and Sabo's moves.Gradually, Ace and Sabo also mastered Moonwalk, and their physical abilities continued to improve.
However, this peace was shattered by an accident.That day, Luffy was practicing Water Breathing in the forest as usual, trying to see if he could master the remaining techniques through practice.Just then, he heard Sabo's anxious cry from afar: "Luffy, something's wrong!"
"What's wrong, Sabo?Where's Ace?Wasn't he with you at the Uncertain Terminal to check if any new pirates had arrived, planning to rob another bunch of money?"
"That was how it was supposed to be, but we ran into the captain of the Sapphire Pirates and his crew.Ace was captured while trying to save me."
"What!" Luffy exclaimed in surprise."I was supposed to be the one captured and tortured, but is this a butterfly effect caused by the fact that I'm not the Luffy from the original story?"
"Let's go save them," Luffy said, glancing at Jinghong lying in the system space, and thinking to himself, "This time, I'll use the blood of the Sapphire Pirates to hone your skills."
At that moment, the system's voice rang out in real time: "Ding dong, new mission issued: Rescue Ace, wipe out the Sapphire Pirates, reward for success: master Water Breathing to the Ninth Form, 10,000 Pirate Coins."
"Hehehe, it's fate, Bluejem, have you washed your neck yet?"
Before long, Luffy, led by Sabo, arrived at the Sapphire Pirates' gathering place.He quietly crept up to a flat-roofed house, and when he looked up, he saw a scene that enraged them.Ace was being hung high in the air, and a pale-skinned man was torturing him: "Tell me, where is our treasure?Where did you hide it?"
Even though Ace was covered in wounds, he gritted his teeth and persevered without uttering a single word.Just then, a pirate henchman spotted them and asked, "Who are you?What are you doing here?"
Luffy slowly raised his head, his blood-red eyes sending chills down one's spine.
"Are you all ready to die?"
