Chapter 155 End of the text
The supernatural power that affected the entire Yokohama disappeared, and the red mist that enveloped Yokohama also dissipated, and Yokohama gradually returned to peace.
The psychic sent by the Clock Tower Servant to burn down Yokohama returned along the same route, and when Ace was about to carry the body back to the Port Mafia, he suddenly disappeared.
Nakahara Chuuya, who was about to go back with him, was startled and immediately looked at Dazai Osamu who was about to leave: "What happened to him?"
Anyway, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask Dazai. His brain is trustworthy. If even he doesn't know, then I don't know who else in Zhongyuan Zhongye knows.
Dazai Osamu did have some idea, but he was not sure if it was what he thought. He said, "Go and see if you can wake up the remaining one."
Nakahara Chuuya glanced at him suspiciously, then stepped forward and tried to shout, "Hey, Ace, wake up."
Ace didn't wake up, he even started snoring.
Nakahara Chuuya: “…”
He sighed speechlessly. Never mind, it's not the first time, I should get used to it.
He pinched Ace's face and pulled it apart: "Hey, Ace, get up! Don't sleep outside!"
The bubble of sleep burst, and Ace sat up with a somersault, almost bumping into Nakahara Chuuya's head.
"Is it time for dinner?"
Nakahara Chuuya subconsciously answered, "No, it's still a few hours before morning. If you're hungry, you can go to a nearby store to see if there's anything to eat."
After he finished speaking, he realized that now was not the time to talk about this.
Seeing that Ace on the ground had woken up and seemed to be fine, he yawned with Yosano Akiko and said, "Since you are fine, we will go back first."
Dazai Osamu slipped away without knowing when.
Nakahara Chuuya sighed, "Let's go, let's go back to the headquarters and report the situation."
…
If he wanted to go back to the Port Mafia from Ferris Street by himself, under normal circumstances, Moriou would just take it as a walk, but now that he was injured, it would be better to ask the Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Health to send someone to pick him up.
Sitting in the car on the way back to the Port Building, Mori Ougai was still thinking about what happened before.
The fact that the people from the other world could come here this time was obviously related to the artificial anomaly. He, or perhaps they, appeared after the red mist appeared, and when the "Ryuhiko no Ma" was solved and the red mist faded, Mr. Marco disappeared, presumably returning to his own world.
Although he had heard from Ace before how powerful his former partner was, he finally felt it today when he saw Marco suppressing the special "Ryuhiko no Ma". If "Ryuhiko no Ma" was not a superpower and would not die before his weakness was broken, he probably would not have been able to hold on for so long.
Although they have a good relationship with Ace and can be considered as friends, if they really stay in their world, it may not be a good thing for them. He is not as easy to control as Chuuya Nakahara, and he does not seem to be as easy to fool as Ace.
However, the situation has now developed to the point where it is under his control.
...The only problem was that he couldn't sense Ace's presence anymore.
When Ace is not with him, the body he uses is actually Mori Ogai's ability, which means that Mori Ogai can actually sense what is happening over there. However, Mori Ogai only often peeked at Ace at the beginning, but later he became more and more lazy to care.
Anyway, Ace was using his own face, not his ugly face to embarrass himself in public.
But now, Ace didn't come back, and he couldn't sense that Ace was using his special abilities.
He was a little suspicious whether Ace was in trouble, but Ace was within the range of the thick fog of "Ryuhiko no Ma". He was a fire ability user who could transform his body into an element. The number of people who could fight him in the thick fog could be counted on one hand. Those who could cause Ace to have problems...
A superpower shouldn't be able to be beaten to any extent, right? Is he a person with special superpowers?
When Mori Ogai asked the doctor to come to his office to treat his wounds, Ace and Nakahara Chuuya came back.
Each of them was carrying a large bag of steaming fried food.
As soon as Ace came back, he put a big bag of things on the desk.
The doctor stared straight ahead as he applied medicine and bandage to Sen Ou's wound, pretending that he saw nothing.
Then Mori Ougai looked straight at Nakahara Chuuya.
Facing Sen Ou's gloomy gaze, Zhong Yuan Zhong paused a little hesitantly, then raised the bag in his hand and asked awkwardly, "Chief, do you want to eat something?"
Mori Owl: "..."
Mori Ouwai looked at him with great sorrow.
When did Chuuya become like Ace? Ace! Look at what you have done! You have corrupted Chuuya!
Before he could say anything, the doctor treating his wounds coughed softly and said, "Ahem, the leader is injured, it's not suitable for you to eat this."
So Zhongyuan Zhongye shyly took his hand back and said, "Oh..."
Ace moved a chair to sit next to Mori Ougai's desk, unpacked the food, and said while eating, "Why are you still injured? Are the enemies over there very strong? Did you sprain your waist again? You can't be like this, Mr. Ougai. I've told you a long time ago to exercise more. Look..."
Nakahara Chuuya, who was listening in, was feeling restless, always feeling that he shouldn't be here.
The doctor also silently quickened his pace. He was afraid that the leader would kill him if he heard a few more words.
Veins bulged on Mori Ogai's smiling face.
That's enough, you can shut up.
After the wound was treated, Mori Ogai asked the doctor and Nakahara Chuuya to leave first, then looked at Ace and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Ace was confused. "What's going on?"
Mori Ouwai looked at him inquiringly, "My ability can no longer sense you."
"Oh, you mean this." Ace thought for a while and guessed, "Maybe it's because the body I'm using now is my own body."
Sen Ouwai's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he repeated, "Your own body?"
He remembered that Ace said that he came into this world after he died.
Ace didn't understand the danger of Moriogai's half-hidden appearance at all, and said excitedly: "Yes, it was my body that was damaged by Akainu. When I found it, it had been healed by Akiko! I also met Luffy and Sabo, Dad and Grandpa, and Jinbe! Although they are all back now, I am still quite lucky, right!"
Mori Ogai: "...Yeah, I'm really lucky."
Even Whitebeard, who is said to be able to artificially create earthquakes and tsunamis, has come. How can it not be a blessing that we haven't encountered a situation where he is needed to take action?
Ace didn't hear the subtlety in Moriou's tone and handed him a fried chicken wing. "Want to eat?"
Mori Ogai: "...You eat it."
After all these years, he still can't accept food that has been touched by other people's hands.
"Ah, if it were you, the reason you're so weak is because you don't eat enough meat. Look at how little you eat. If I ate that much, I would have starved to death a long time ago!"
Sen Ou took a look at the huge pile of bones that had accumulated in such a short while, and then looked at the large plastic bags filled with various foods next to them, and felt a little depressed.
In the past, he could say that Ace could eat so much because he was a superpower and was not afraid of upsetting his stomach, but now...
It seems that people in their world can really eat that much!
Sen Ouwai choked up for a moment, then skipped over this and asked him, "Can you still use your fire power?"
He thought that Ace's ability came from the devil fruit he ate, and the devil fruit should have transformed his body. Since Ace's body was sent here, the ability of the fruit should have come with it, right?
Ace finished eating the chicken drumstick in his hand, threw away the bone, and a small flame appeared on his finger. He smiled and said, "It works."
Seeing this, Sen Ouwai's eyes warmed up and his mind suddenly became active. He asked secretly, "Ace, now that you are separated from me, many things will be more convenient. I think there are just two positions for the cadres, how about you take up one?"
This is a polished diamond, and he has spent so many years on it. Moreover, it is the most suitable martial arts school for the top combat force of their port mafia. If he sends it to the enemy like Dazai, he will be heartbroken.
“Officers? They’re people like Chuuya, Momiji-san, and the colonel, right?”
"yes."
Ace frowned: "Forget it, I can't do that job. I don't want to sit in the office and review documents."
It was only because of Sen Ou that he had to do this kind of work, which he was not good at, for all these years. Now that he was finally freed from it, he didn't want to go back and continue sitting there!
Moriou's expression froze. He had obviously thought of the other party's terrible clerical skills in the past eight years. He paused, "How about this, you just put yourself on the list of cadres, and I'll send someone else to do the clerical work for you, and you only need to fight when there's a fight."
"That's not a problem." Ace thought for a moment, then turned to ask him, "But I probably won't be in Yokohama very often, is that okay?"
Sen Ou was stunned: "What?"
"Now that I have a body, I want to go out to sea. I have never been out to see the ocean in this world." Ace grinned, "After all, I am a pirate, and pirates belong to the ocean."
Sen Ou pulled out a punch: "..."
Okay, okay, the world is so big and I want to go and see this meme, right?
He sighed and said with mixed feelings, "Are you going alone?"
"Well, I also went out to sea alone in another world. Later, the boat broke down and I almost got stranded on a desert island, hahahaha."
Mori Owl: "..."
Really, no surprise :)
"Actually, Mr. Ouwai, you can go out to sea with me!"
"No, no, no, forget it. I have no intention of abandoning the Port Mafia."
…
A month later, Ace was standing on the deck of a small cruise ship, looking ashore at Yokohama Port.
Under the clear sky, a few seagulls glided by.
Albatross sat at the control desk and called out, "Ace! It's time to get ready to sail! Are you done saying goodbye?"
Izumi Jinghua leaned on the side of the boat and looked back at Ace.
Mori Ougai really had no intention of going out to sea with him, but he was also worried that his new cadre would not be able to come back if he let Ace, this unreliable guy, go out alone, so he simply let him pick a few people and then arranged for a few reliable people to send him out to sea along with the boat.
Ace scanned the shore again, but still didn't see the person he wanted to see. He felt a little disappointed, but soon cheered up and shouted to the shore: "Then I'm going to sail! Goodbye--"
From the shore came Nakahara Chuuya's penetrating voice: "Goodbye - I'm waiting to see the bounty you mentioned!"
Watching the cruise ship sail away, Nakahara Chuuya glanced at the corner of sand-colored clothes exposed at the back of the warehouse and sneered with a hint of mockery.
On the rooftop of the port building, Ozaki Kouyo watched from afar as the cruise ship gradually sailed out of the harbor. He glanced at the person beside him and said teasingly, "Aren't you going to see him off, Ougaiga? After all, he has been taking care of the child for such a long time. He should be happy to see you before he leaves."
Sen Ouwai chuckled, "Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared. There is no need to show up again."
Watching the distant ship gradually disappear on the horizon, Mori Ouwai turned around and walked into the building.
"Let's go. We can't stop."
