Chapter 77 Encounter in Alabasta [VIP]
A few days ago, long before the live broadcast of the Tianlong people's trial.
After rescuing several members of the Franky family from the sea, the Straw Hat Pirates did not change their itinerary.
The rebellion in Alabasta has already begun. If they don't go there now, Vivi's country will most likely be taken advantage of by the Sand Crocodile after the infighting.
The Franky family was relatively easy to get along with. Although they made a fuss at first because they couldn't return to Water City, they finally accepted the fact that "it's useless for them to go back, as they won't be able to find Water City at all."
Afterwards, perhaps because he didn't want to owe them anything, Franky also pointed out the mistakes Usopp made while repairing the ship.
"If you only repair the surface like this, you will damage the ship sooner or later." He gave some instructions from a distance, explaining the details of repairing the ship in detail.
Usopp repaired the boat as he said and found that it was indeed much better than patching it up with planks himself.
Then, Franky was entangled by Luffy.
Luffy invited him on board because they were really short of a shipwright.
However, Franky had already decided not to build or repair ships anymore, and even though Luffy was pestering him, he did not agree.
Afterwards, they successfully arrived at the port of Rapeseed Flower, where they met Ace and a group of bandits who were waiting for them.
When everyone learned that the bandits had left from the disappeared East China Sea island, they were excited.
You have to know that except for Vivi and Chopper, the hometown of everyone on the Merry has disappeared - Sanji's home is the sea restaurant Barati. The newspaper did not mention whether it disappeared, so Sanji could only estimate the worst case scenario.
If it wasn't a waste of time to go back, they would have wanted to go back to Donghai to look for someone long ago.
The information that the bandits now have is what they most urgently want to know.
Unfortunately, the information that the bandits could provide them was less than that provided by Franky and the others.
At least Franky went to the scene where he got his ID card, and he also witnessed the metal ball being thrown at someone (of course, it was himself).
The group of bandits were thrown out while they were sleeping, but they could be sure that at least everyone on the island was still alive.
This way, everyone will feel more at ease.
It seems that Yale is not so evil as to be crazy. They have to resolve the Alabasta issue as soon as possible and go to the Sabaody Archipelago to find Rayleigh to learn Haki.
"Study hard?" Ace was a little surprised when he heard this.
"You know about Haki so early!" He remembered that he didn't understand the full concept of Haki until the New World.
Everyone became excited, suddenly realizing that Ace was probably also a master of Haki.
Luffy also showed off the black armament color covering his arms when he knocked Buggy away.
On the way here, although Zoro and Sanji were trying hard to understand Luffy's random teachings of "this and that", they still couldn't get the point and didn't understand the feeling of domineering at all.
Ace touched his chin, his teaching level was not much different from Luffy's.
"I'm not someone who's proficient in Haki. I rely more on my Devil Fruit."
He tried to teach, but just looking at the blank and dull expressions on the Straw Hat Pirates' faces, he knew that he was not successful.
Ace sighed and simply gave up.
"You should find a reliable teacher. I only have a limited understanding..."
After a pause, he asked in confusion, "Why do you think... you can use domineering aura to deal with that Yale?"
Luffy: "That Buggy said that!"
Sanji: "Although I think he's pretty unreliable."
However, Ace quickly believed it.
Because he and Bucky get along very well and think that the other party is a very good person.
Ace: "I haven't fought with Yale, but if you can't beat him, then it must be the elemental nature."
"But he is an alien." Nami pointed to the sky.
The night sky of Alabasta is extremely beautiful, with stars forming a beautiful galaxy belt.
None of them knew what the world outside the sky was like.
Ace said confidently.
"Aliens must be similar, they look exactly like us!"
This was a decisive blow, and those who had been wavering before became determined again.
Yes, he looks like us, which means the world outside is not much different from ours.
In short, learn to be domineering first, and if you still can’t use it, then find a way.
Seeing how motivated they were, Ace was very pleased, but also a little regretful.
Why didn't he improve his domineering skills more in the past? Otherwise, he could have taught them a lesson now.
It would be nice if the other members of the Whitebeard Pirates were here.
If it is a non-ability user like Vista, he will definitely be able to talk about Haki in detail.
Thinking so, the next morning, Ace suddenly saw the dusty Whitebeard Fifth Division, led by Flower Sword Vista.
Putting away the life paper, Vista punched Ace on the head.
"You're such a jerk, you little brat! Do you know how hard we've been looking for you?"
Although they had the life paper to guide them, Vista and his crew still needed to stop at islands for supplies during their voyage.
If I keep chasing Ace's winding boat, I might starve to death before I can catch up with him.
Ace covered the bulge on his head, but he was not angry at all. Instead, he was quite surprised.
"Why are you here?" He excitedly introduced the Straw Hat Pirates and the bandit gang one by one.
When he heard the name "Vista", Zoro excitedly grasped the sword at his waist.
Flower Sword Vista, a swordsman who can compete with Hawkeye, as a fellow swordsman, how could he not want to compare?
Vista also felt Zoro's fighting spirit, but he just glanced at it and turned to Ace again.
"Dad sent me to take you back."
The smile on Ace's face immediately disappeared, and he refuted firmly.
"No, I haven't found Tikki yet and haven't avenged Thatch. I can't go back now!"
"The situation is different now, Ace." Vista reminded patiently.
"Several islands have disappeared in the New World. Yale's next target is likely there."
Ace frowned, "You mean... Yale's target is the Four Emperors?"
"That's right, and considering their high-profile behavior, the first target they're likely to attack is our Whitebeard Pirates."
Bista was not exaggerating; this was the most likely conclusion they came to after thinking about it.
On one side was Teach, who had killed his companions and was missing, and on the other side were the families of the Whitebeard Pirates. Ace didn't hesitate and quickly agreed.
"Okay, I get it. I'll go back with you guys... Wait!" He suddenly thought of something, "Before that, Vista, do you know how to train Haki?"
"Domineering?" Vista's domineering attitude is quite good.
As a swordsman without any fruit ability, only by mastering Haki can he gain a foothold in the new world.
But after listening to Ace's explanation, Vista looked at the Straw Hat Pirates with expectant eyes, feeling a bit amused.
They must have been deceived. If domineering power was useful, why would they be so wary of that East China Sea demon?
However, if they knew the truth that domineering power was useless, they might immediately lose hope and return to the East China Sea to fight Yale to the death.
If it were any other pirate group, Vista wouldn't care, but it was different for Ace's brother's pirate group.
He didn't want Ace's brother to go back and die, so he had to continue lying.
Anyway, he wasn't the one who taught Haki in the end, so let Rayleigh take care of it.
"Regarding Haki, I do have some methods I can teach you."
There was no need to be too anxious after finding Ace. Vista and his crew taught Luffy and the others the basics of Haki while they were on their way to the rebel base.
There are three types of Haki. Except for the Haki that requires talent, the other two can be learned through hard training.
Luffy has already learned the Armament Haki without any instruction, and all he needs to do now is to continue improving it in battle.
Later on the way, Vista talked to them about the past when Crocodile once challenged his father.
At this moment, Luffy suddenly refused to do it. He felt that going to the rebels would not solve the problem at all, and he should go directly to Crocodile to settle the score.
But this idea conflicts with Weiwei's wish of 'not wanting anyone to be sacrificed'.
When Luffy shouted, "Let's fight for our lives together, we are partners," Vista suddenly understood.
"I finally understand why you like your brother so much."
Ace smiled happily and proudly.
"Of course, Luffy is such a likable person!"
Luffy and his crew have to change their itinerary and head to Crocodile's base in the rainy area.
Vista and his crew also decided to return. The Whitebeard Pirates could not do anything about matters related to the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Allied Nations.
"Crocodile is the user of the Sand-Sand Fruit. Besides being harmed by Haki, his elemental form can also be harmed by being wet."
Although the reminder was just a simple sentence, it was enough to surprise the Straw Hat Pirates.
Crocodile's weakness is water, and they can definitely use this to defeat each other.
"Don't worry, Dadan, we will take care of ourselves!"
When leaving, Luffy gave Dadan a warm hug, which made the bandit leader, who had been holding back his tears a second ago, burst into tears immediately.
It was not until they returned to Vista and their boat that Dadan came to his senses, but he still blew his nose from time to time.
Just then, Ace invited, "Come back to the Whitebeard Pirates with us, Dadan."
Unfortunately, Whitebeard is so famous that even though the bandits knew that Ace had joined and Whitebeard would not do anything to them, they were still very scared.
Besides, they, the bandits, were not very accustomed to life at sea, and they did not want to drag Ace down or cause him to be laughed at by the pirate group.
Dadan: "We are living quite well in the Sabaody Archipelago."
Ace wanted to persuade him again, but at this moment, Yale's third live broadcast began.
Unlike what the Whitebeard Pirates expected, Yale did not continue to attack the New World. Instead, he made a big move and wiped out all the Celestial Dragons.
