Chapter 122 We are going to sea

The fact that Dazai Osamu would defect with Oda Sakunosuke was not that surprising to Mori Ogu.

When Dazai hinted to Ace at Akutagawa's residence that he was the one behind the Mimic incident, he roughly figured out that he was planning to break up with him.

In order to avoid revenge from Sen Ou Wai later, he would of course pack up everything in advance and defect before Sen Ou Wai launched an attack.

Dazai Osamu's brain was indeed worthy of his fear. Having been an official for so long, he must have a lot of confidential information about the organization. If it were an ordinary person, it would be safest to keep it to himself, but Dazai Osamu was different. Mori Ogai knew without a doubt that he had many ways to protect himself. Even if he didn't care whether he would die or not, he still took Oda Sakunosuke with him.

Moreover, now Nakahara Chuuya and Wei'lan have learned the method of "opening the door" to release the power of Huang Batu in their bodies. Once that power is fully released, Nakahara Chuuya, as the carrier of the power, will lose his mind and keep releasing this power in the most destructive way. He cannot stop on his own until the carrier dies of exhaustion and the core characteristic point is destroyed due to the loss of the carrier.

In other words, the ineffectiveness of Dazai Osamu's ability can also be used as an external force to forcibly "lock the door", so that this overly powerful force will not become an uncontrollable disposable weapon.

Not only that, this ability is also a safety bolt for Yumeno Hisasaku's ability. This special ability can be used for many special abilities. Not only the Port Mafia needs it, but Yokohama also needs it.

Even if Dazai Osamu has a bad relationship with him, there are always people in the Port Mafia who have a good relationship with him, such as Ace and Chuuya.

Under the government's arrangement, all the registered supernatural persons in the country are basically concentrated in Yokohama. Dazai Osamu and Oda Sakunosuke are both supernatural persons registered by the Supernatural Special Service Department. It is almost impossible for them to live in other cities for a long time. So if a crisis occurs in Yokohama, Dazai Osamu must take action, and he will still do it.

Therefore, Mori Ougai couldn't really let him die. The killing order he issued was just for show to the people below.

Anyone who betrays the organization must be executed. This is the iron rule of the Port Mafia. As a cadre, Dazai Osamu defected. As a leader, he must set an example, otherwise the people below will follow suit. Even if he wants to give Dazai Osamu a break, he still has to show it.

Mori Ogai sighed, called Nakahara Chuuya, and only after confirming that he would be back in a few days did he contact the Special Powers Division.

This time, the Port Mafia lost two people with special abilities while trying to solve Mimic, which the Yokohama government was not convenient to deal with. One of them was an official. Before solving the problem of Mimic, they had also discussed this matter with Taneda Santoka Koutou, and this time, they must negotiate for the special ability business license.

Mimic's incident did not have a big impact on the Port Mafia as a whole. The only thing that needed to be focused on recently was the cooperation with the Special Agents Division, so Mori Ogai was not so busy that he could not get away. However, he had never taken the initiative to talk to Ace, and the two of them maintained a cold war for the time being, until Chuuya Nakahara returned to Japan and went to negotiate with the Special Agents Division with Mori Ogai, and the special business license was negotiated.

In the newly opened bar in Yokohama, Nakahara Chuuya supported his chin with one hand and shook a goblet of red wine with the other.

"So this is why you're having a conflict with Chief Mori recently?"

Ace pressed his head against the table, placed his fingers on the rum glass in front of him, and stared at the amber liquid in the glass with a depressed look.

Hearing what Nakahara Chuuya said, he couldn't help but frown and retorted: "This is not a contradiction, I just..."

"I understand, I understand." He patted Ace's shoulder soothingly. "It is true that the leader went a little too far this time, but after all, your relationship with the leader...it can't always be like this, right?"

He didn't try to comfort Ace by saying that the leader had a reason for doing this. He himself also regarded his companions as very important. If he put himself in their shoes, he would find it difficult to accept it. However, because of his position as the leader, he might endure it and slowly swallow the bitterness.

Besides, it was indeed the leader who did something unkind, so even if he wanted to comfort her, he couldn't do so.

However, after hearing what Nakahara Chuuya said, Ace became even more depressed, "I know that, but..."

He and Mori Ouwai are truly inseparable. As long as he wants the other to hear him talking, he can hear him no matter how far away he is. Every time they talk, they must be in the same body. When he is online, he can see Mori Ouwai's face before the screen of his phone turns on... But now, they don't even talk to each other except when necessary, and Mori Ouwai has no intention of comforting him at all.

After knowing each other for such a long time, Ace had long regarded Mori Ogai as a companion, but the most painful blow often comes from companions. Mori Ogai used such a dangerous thing to plot against his friend, which made him feel betrayed.

The last person who made him feel this way was Lan Tang. Of course, he would not let it go so easily.

Nakahara Chuuya drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, slammed the glass on the table, and gave him a plan: "How about this, you can use Chief Mori's identity anyway? You can do whatever you want with his identity, and when you are satisfied, let Chief Mori clean up the mess for you. This way, you can get over this matter. What do you think?"

If Ace hadn't used the shell he made to drink with him today, he would never have dared to bring up such a bad idea! After all, when Ace used Chief Sen's shell, Chief Sen would definitely be listening. How could he have the nerve to say such a thing in front of Sen Gu?

Ace thought about it for a while and felt that it seemed okay.

Mori Ogai's behavior was close to betrayal, and Ace couldn't just let it go. Even if he wanted to reconcile with Mori Ogai, he needed a way out. But before he stepped down, he had to vent his anger, otherwise he would be unable to bear it if he kept feeling the anger.

He said seriously, "I understand."

Nakahara Chuuya patted his shoulder, poured himself another glass of wine, and clinked glasses with him: "I wish you good luck."

…

Ace succeeded, but Moriogai was not very happy.

After obtaining the supernatural business license, Mori Ogai was very happy for a while, and then he saw Ace using his own identity to cancel the previous hunt for Dazai Osamu and Oda Sakunosuke.

Mori Ougai could no longer remain silent, so he said, "Ace-kun, why didn't you discuss this order with me before you gave it?"

Ace didn't take it seriously, "But I think it's been a long time, it's about time to withdraw. Besides, you were the one who had the problem in the first place!"

Mori Ougai also knew that Ace had always had complaints against him about this matter, otherwise he wouldn't have been in a cold war with him for so long, almost a month.

This is not a good sign.

Moriogai was worried. He had been worried since the first day he exchanged with Ace, wondering if Ace would use his body to do something he didn't want to see. Later, when he got to know Ace's character, he was worried that Ace had different values ​​from him, and what if Ace had a rift with him one day and acted violently and turned against him.

Now that things have developed to this point, Ace has really done something that he is not happy to see, and Moriogai can't help but feel worried. Ace can go against him in this matter, and there is no guarantee that he will not go against him in other things in the future. This is definitely something he doesn't want to see.

At least he wasn't happy to see it until Ace separated from him.

Mori Ouwai's voice was low and filled with dissatisfaction and coldness: [Ace-kun, I remember that I am the leader of the Port Mafia. You are overstepping your authority by doing this.]

So Ace also turned cold and said to him: "It doesn't matter, I am one now."

Mori Ogai: [……]

This is terrible. Ace is taking the initiative to use his identity as the leader. I feel something is wrong.

The bad premonition came true more than a week later.

This is how it all started -

When Ace went to visit Akutagawa's house again, he found that many of them were not at home, but had gone out to take missions. Ace asked, and Reina, who stayed at home, told him: "Several of us have reached the age of 17, and Akutagawa is almost 17. He said he wanted to go to sea and asked us who would go with him. Most of us decided to go with him, but now we don't have enough money to buy a strong enough ship, so everyone is working hard to take orders and make money during this period."

Ace was immediately interested when he heard this. "Oh? Are you all planning to go out to sea together?"

"At that time, all those over 15 years old are going to go, and there will be three under 15 years old left to stay and look after the house." Reina replied.

"So you're going too?" Ace sat cross-legged next to Reina. Apart from Reina, there were three other children in the family who were under the age of 15 and were studying.

"Yes." Reina nodded. "I have been reading about navigation recently and have studied the nautical charts several times. I plan to be a navigator on the ship in the future."

"Oh! Very good!" Ace encouraged, "It's not easy to be a navigator! Have you decided on your other positions?"

"It's basically settled." Reina counted them off to him one by one. "Akutagawa will be our captain; Kuya is quick-witted and thinks things through, so he will be the vice-captain, and we'll leave the things that require thinking to him; Hiko said he wants to be the helmsman, but we haven't actually operated such a large ship yet, so we'll have to learn on the spot; Sakyo said he'll be the ship's doctor, but he's only just started studying medicine, and he's taught himself by following online video courses, so he's not sure about himself, so we'll have to hire a proper doctor when the time comes, so he can guide us..."

Ace placed his right elbow on the knee of his folded leg, supported his chin with his palm, and listened to her carefully. After listening, he praised her sincerely: "It seems that you have prepared well."

Reina blushed shyly, "No, we are still far from that..."

Ace smiled and said, "Isn't that great? Much better than me, right? When I first went out to sea, I had nothing but a small boat and food."

Ace's experiences at sea were once told to them as stories, and it was those stories that opened up a magnificent world before them and gave their ignorant lives a pair of wings called dreams.

Reina blushed at his compliment and remained silent.

A few days later, Ace sent a small cruise ship from the port as a gift to Akutagawa and his crew for their upcoming voyage, and also assigned a member who was skilled in operating a cruise ship to them - in the form of a mission, the member was asked to teach their helmsman how to operate a cruise ship before the ship returned.

The ships of the port mafia have been modified by the organization, and have much more offensive and defensive capabilities than ordinary cruise ships. To make up for this deficiency, it naturally requires a lot of funds. And this fund was directly transferred from Mori Owl's private account.

Mori Ogai: ...

So I am the biggest loser :)
