50: Chapter 50 Landing in Alabasta! Reuniting with AceAlabasta, port city, rapeseed flowers.
"We've arrived at Alabasta!" Luffy couldn't help but sigh as he got off the ship and stood on solid ground.
Coming to this desert country in person, I feel a special feeling in my heart.
"Vivi, from now on, we will temporarily split up into two groups, but don't worry.After we finish all the things here, we will go to the palace to meet up with you.Be careful!" Luffy turned and said to Vivi.
"Okay, I understand.I'll leave everything to you!" Vivi tightened the brim of her hat, put on her cloak, and slowly walked away with her mount Kalu in the yellow sand.
"Okay!Next, let's stroll around this port city and replenish supplies!" Luffy was eager to try.
At this time, the Straw Hat Adventurers did not disguise themselves at all.They walked into the city openly without worrying about being exposed.
They now understood that after dealing with so many cadres of the Baroque Works, their information had already been placed in front of Crocodile.Moreover, they took the initiative to show up to make it easier for certain people to find them.
The group marched towards the streets of Rapeseed Port City, stopping along the way to enjoy the scenery and purchase various necessary supplies.
"Apples for sale!Golden apples that can make you live for a thousand years if you take a bite!" The voice of a vendor came from the front, and he blocked the way of a young man.
"Ahhh, get out of the way, don't bring out this kind of deceptive stuff!" The young man waved his hands repeatedly, pushed the vendor away, ignored his shouting, and walked away on his own.
"Oh!Sassy, Ace!"
Luffy was sharp-eyed and spotted Ace in the crowd, and called out loudly.
"Oh!Luffy!You are so slow.We have just arrived at Alabasta?" Ace's eyes lit up and he walked forward and put his arm around Luffy's shoulders.
"Haha, it's not that slow.We have been out to sea for less than half a year.How are you, Ace?It's been several years since we two brothers saw each other!" Luffy put his arm around Ace.
"Come on, let's go have a drink first and then catch up on the past!" Ace took Luffy to a restaurant without saying anything.
Everyone sat down in the restaurant and toasted each other to celebrate the reunion.
"Luffy, who is this." Nami asked from the side.
"Well, this is my sworn brother, Ace!" Luffy said vaguely while eating meat.
"Eh?Brother?Hello, hello!I'm sorry for being so rude!" The Straw Hat Pirates members, except Zoro, were shocked.Luffy actually has a brother?They quickly stood up and greeted him.
"Oh, sorry, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself.I'm Ace, Luffy's brother.I've been asking you to take care of Luffy during this period of time!No need to be so polite!" Ace immediately stood up and bowed when he heard that.
"Haha, no way, it's Captain Luffy who has always been taking care of us!" Everyone praised each other.
"Hmm, Ace, let me introduce you!I founded a Straw Hat Adventure Group, and these are my crew members, my partners!" Luffy stood up and wiped his mouth, then continued, "Zoro, we all met when we were kids.These are Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Kin, and Chopper."
Everyone introduced themselves and greeted each other one by one.
"Huh?Zoro, have you seen Ace before?" Sanji asked.
"Well, when I was a kid, I trained with Luffy and the others under Mr.Garp.We met in around 1509 of the Sea Circle Calendar.After that, Luffy, Ace and another.became sworn brothers." Zoro replied.
"There's another one?Where is he now?" Ajin asked.
"Haha, there is also a Sabo.We don't even know if he is still alive." Ace said cheerfully.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to."
"Don't mind it, don't mind it, it's been many years!" Ace was very optimistic.
"Is this cute little reindeer brother also a member of your crew?How amazing!" Ace changed the subject.
"Hehe, I'm Tony Tony Chopper, and I'm also a member of the Straw Hat Adventure Group!But even if you say I'm cute, I won't be happy!" Chopper said, covering his face.
"Haha, you really have a group of interesting friends, Luffy!" Ace said excitedly.
"Of course, they are my proud companions!" Luffy said without hiding it.
"But I'm also very proud of my companions and my family!" Ace said longingly."By the way, do you want to join our big family?That would be fun!I'm a senior cadre too, so I can definitely decide to recruit you!That way, we two brothers will never be separated again!"
"The Whitebeard Pirates?But you know my answer!" Luffy glanced at the tattoo on Ace's back.
"Whitebeard Pirates?The Four Emperors of the New World, Whitebeard's pirate group?" Usopp was the first to react and said in surprise, "Luffy, your brother is actually a member of the Whitebeard Pirates?That's amazing!"
"Hahaha, is it as expected, Luffy!You will definitely reject anyone's recruitment and go to the sea to make a name for yourself!" Ace had already expected Luffy's answer and laughed heartily.
"But, Luffy, my father, Whitebeard Edward Newgate is the man destined to become the Pirate King.You have no chance!" Ace laughed.
"That's different, Ace, my goal is not to become the Pirate King.Whoever wants to be the Pirate King can be the Pirate King.I want to surpass the Pirate King Roger!" Luffy responded with a big laugh.
"Eh?There's actually such a thing?Luffy, you're really ambitious, haha!" Ace didn't care about Luffy's words and laughed, "Okay!Luffy, since you've made up your mind, let's meet at the top!"
Ace laughed and thoughtHe was about to leave.After all, in his opinion, the purpose of coming to Alabasta to reunite with his brothers had been achieved, and it was time to set off to complete his own goal!
At this time, Luffy stopped Ace and said, "Don't leave so quickly, Ace!Are you going to chase Blackbeard Marshall D.Teach?He is no longer in this country!There is no rush to chase him.Besides, we haven't completed our goal here yet!"
"Hey?Luffy, you actually knew that I was hunting down Teach?You just said that we didn't achieve our goal?Then what is that?" Ace turned around in confusion.
"Ah, that's right, Sabo is still alive.He is already the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army, and he is now in the Kingdom of Alabasta!" Luffy picked his teeth and dropped such a bombshell.
"Sabo?You said Sabo is still alive?And he's in Alabasta right now?" Even Ace couldn't keep his composure at this point, "Why don't we go find him right away!"
"Don't be anxious, Ace.We need to meet Sabo now and he has an important question." Luffy smiled mysteriously.
