Chapter 151 Flag

"I'm so hungry~ I'm starving!"

Just as the sky was getting light, a ghost-like howling sound came from the jungle.

The guy who would shout that he was hungry at this time would naturally be no one except Ace who had just regained consciousness.

"Tsk~"

Noticing Robin and Yamato sleeping next to him, Ornn subconsciously frowned. He didn't intend to pay attention to Ace at first, so he jumped down from the window of the moving castle and threw a blazing magma ball:

"Shut up, you're making so much noise!"

Ace finally recovered from the overdraft at this time, but unexpectedly felt a strong sense of crisis.

Following this instinct for survival, he subconsciously used the elements to open a big hole in his body, and then he felt something that made his body of fire feel extremely hot and flew past the big hole he opened.

That feeling made his originally confused head sober up instantly.

However, waking up seemed useless, because after throwing out the lava ball, Ornn raised his leg and hit out a knee strike covered with armed color domineering.

Bang!

The knee strike hit Ace's face hard, and two nosebleeds flowed down immediately.

"Hiss~ You bastard, I just woke up!" Ace covered his nose with a long nosebleed, and tears were about to fall from his eyes in pain.

"This is not a reason for you to wake me up." Ornn glared at him, highlighting his unreasonableness.

"Sorry, sorry! Our captain has caused you trouble."

The vice-captain of the Spade Pirates, Deuce, was also awakened by the movement of his captain. He was obviously very afraid of the powerful Orn, so he came up and apologized to Orn.

Gu~

As he was talking, a strange sound came from Deuce's abdomen. Ace's stomach also started to growl with this sound.

"Deuce, didn't you have dinner either?"

Ace looked at Deuce, who was getting more and more embarrassed because of the growling of his stomach, and asked the question in his heart without considering the occasion.

It would have been better if he hadn't said this. As soon as he said this, a "well" character immediately appeared on Deuce's forehead:

"How dare you say that? If you hadn't insisted on showing off your skills to everyone, and burned all the seven days' worth of food on the ship in one go, we wouldn't have had to land here in advance to find food before arriving at the Sabaody Archipelago!

After landing, you didn't even wait to enter the town and ran to save the cat because you heard the cat's cry, and then... In short, how could we have time to find food!"

After being reminded by Deuce, Ace also recalled the whole story.

By chance, they had obtained a permanent pointer to the Sabaody Archipelago and wanted to quickly go to the Sabaody Archipelago and become the first supernova pirate to arrive in Sabaody this year.

However, because of his "impulsiveness", he had to transfer at Montros Island. As a result, he heard the cry of "cat" just after landing on the island, so he ran over with his men excitedly to prepare for hunting. Later, he found that it was a poaching gang that was poaching the precious white lynx, so he decided to save the "cat". Later, he attracted the people of the Orn Pirates. During the whole process, there was really no time for Deuce and his men to buy food.

"Sorry, sorry, I will pay attention next time."

When facing his crew, he was not arrogant at all. After being yelled at by Deuce, he hurriedly smiled and touched the back of his head, and kept apologizing.

Orn looked at the scene in front of him and shook his head helplessly:

"It's really exaggerated to be a pirate like you..."

At this point, Orn stretched out his hand and pressed on the moving castle, instantly enlarging the moving castle to its original normal level.

Reaching out to push open the castle gate, Orn looked back at the two poor creatures and said:

"Since you are so miserable, come in and have something to eat."

The food stored in the mobile castle is enough for him and his crew to eat for more than half a year, so he is not worried that Ace, the big eater, will eat it all.

At this moment, Orn stood in the halo of bright lights. In the sight of Ace and Deus, the halo of a saint seemed to appear behind him in a trance.

"Arigato!"

The two bowed to Orn with a synchronization rate of 100%, and then without Orn's greeting, they turned their heads and woke up the Spade Pirates who were sleeping in hunger. A group of people squeezed into the castle like starving ghosts reincarnated according to Orn's guidance.

"Wow~"

As soon as they entered the hall, everyone was shocked by the luxurious decoration style inside the castle and exclaimed in unison. The white lynx was so embarrassed that he didn't even know where to put his feet, and could only circle around the door.

Influenced by past experiences, Robin and Peyton have always been light sleepers.

Hearing the sound, the two subconsciously walked out of the room on the second floor and looked over here with some curiosity.

"You're welcome, just sit anywhere."

In this case, Robin naturally took out the attitude of a hostess, politely and gently inviting everyone from the Spade Pirates to sit at the long table in the restaurant.

"No, no need to bother!"

Seeing that Robin was still preparing dinner for them, Deuce, who was obviously from a noble family, was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. He stretched out his hand to stop Robin's action and said embarrassedly:

"Just give us some dry food such as biscuits and water. It will be enough."

"Is that so?" Robin saw the embarrassment of Deuce and others, so she did not insist, and turned to look at Orn.

Orn smiled at her, and then his mind moved slightly, and the door of the warehouse opened automatically, and a large bag of biscuits and dried meat was "pushed" to the restaurant by the constantly surging floor-because he controlled 100% of the moving castle, doing this kind of thing was just a child's play for Orn.

"We don't often prepare these dry food on the ship, you can take these first, and we'll talk if it's not enough."

This is indeed the truth, because before meeting the master of the Flower Kingdom, he and Yamato Rhea ate dry food and left a psychological shadow, so the Orn Pirates rarely prepared this kind of dry food with a long shelf life.

After recruiting the five masters from the Kingdom of Flowers, they never ate this kind of dry and hard food. They only stocked a small amount of it every time they landed on the island for emergency use.

Deus originally thought that the bag might contain the kind of black and hard biscuits that might be stained with a lot of mold, but after opening the bag, he found that the biscuits inside were still very fresh, wrapped in oil paper in piles, exuding a sweet smell.

Even the surface of the dried meat was not moldy, and the storage time was definitely no more than one month.

Staring at the big bag of dried meat and biscuits, the people of the Spade Pirates couldn't help but look at each other in surprise - these foods are many times better than the food they usually eat on the ship.

With trembling hands, he picked up a biscuit and handed it to his mouth. Although the taste of the bite was not as crispy as freshly baked cookies, the taste could still be described as sweet.

Tears flowed unconsciously from the corners of his eyes. For the first time, Deuce felt how stupid it was to encourage Ace to give up becoming a Shichibukai and continue their sailing adventure.

Deuce couldn't help but think in his heart that if the captain encountered an insurmountable difficulty at sea one day, it would be a good idea to persuade the captain to join any big force... At least he could have enough food and even enjoy the top food of various chefs.

Although this idea only existed in his mind for half a second before he threw it away, the gears of fate had already slowly turned at a certain moment - this day was July 27, 1517 in the Haiyuan calendar, and it was less than five months before all the members of the Spade Pirates started a new life!

…………

About half an hour later, all the biscuits and dried meat were eaten up, without even a little crumb left.

"Thank you for the hospitality!"

After swallowing the last biscuit in his mouth, Deuce stood up and bowed solemnly to Orn and Robin.

"No need to be so polite." Orn waved his hand casually.

But Deuce was unexpectedly polite. Not only did he salute himself, he also wanted to pull Ace to salute together.

However, Ace did not salute with Deuce, but said to Deuce without any context:

"Wait for me here."

Then he strode out of the moving castle, leaving the crew of the Spade Pirates alone looking at each other.

"Hey, your captain is not going to run away, is he?" Rea, who woke up at some point, asked subconsciously.

Perhaps because of the noise in the kitchen, everyone in the Orn Pirates had woken up at this time.

"Don't you say that about our captain!"

Deuce, who had always been polite, rarely lost his composure and shouted:

"Our captain is not that kind of person!"

The firmness in his tone was eye-catching, and what was even more unbelievable was that it was not just Deuce who was like this, but everyone in the entire Spade Pirates had the same firm expression.

Orn looked at the people of the Spade Pirates silently, thinking that although these people's strength was ordinary, they unexpectedly trusted Ace, the captain. No wonder they would join the Whitebeard Pirates with Ace without complaint in the future.

Just as he was thinking, Ace had already run back panting, holding a black object tightly in his hand.

He was panting violently, but his eyes were staring straight at Orn.

He walked closer step by step, closer step by step... Finally, he came to Orn.

Just when everyone was curious about what he was going to do, Ace bent down very abruptly, and then handed the thing in his hand to Orn with both hands - it was the pirate flag of the Spade Pirates.

"Captain!"

After seeing the pirate flag in Ace's hand clearly, everyone in the Spade Pirates remembered everything that happened in the afternoon, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Shut up! Do you want me to be a laughing stock?"

Ace turned his head and roared at his crew members:

"As a man, you should keep your word. Since I have made an agreement, I should naturally fulfill it!"

At this point, Ace looked at the pirate flag with spades in his hand. Although he was trembling all over and gritting his teeth, he still held back his tears and said:

"Open your eyes and watch this scene today..."

At this point, Ace looked up at Ornn, his expression as persistent as ever:

"Today I lost with all my heart, but I won't give up. One day, one day, I will win this flag back. This is also a promise as a man!"

Listening to Ace's words and looking at the pirate flag in Ace's hand that they had been with day and night, tears and snot had already covered everyone's head and face, but they pursed their lips tightly and didn't let themselves make any sound.

Ornn, Yamato, Robin, Rhea, Urouge... Everyone stared at the scene in front of them in a daze. At the corner of the second floor, Peyton also silently put down the mechanical arm in his hand.

Suspecting that such a person would hurt his own captain is not only an insult to the other party, but also an insult to himself.

Ornn came back to his senses, looked at the flag handed over by Ace, and finally stretched out his hands to solemnly take the flag - this light flag was now as heavy as a thousand pounds!

"Robin, come with me to the study."

Robin glanced at his own captain and followed him into the study without saying a word.

About ten minutes later, the two walked out of the study again, with a brand new pirate flag in their hands. The pattern was still based on the spade, but the skull with two emblems of crying and laughing on its head was replaced by a fist dripping with magma.

At first glance, it looked as if the fist with magma was about to punch through the spade...

"Take it, your new flag... In addition, I will keep your previous pirate flag well, and I will wait for the day when you come to me to win back your pirate flag."

Ace glanced at the pattern on the pirate flag, and without saying much, he only uttered two words in a hoarse voice:

"Definitely!"

After saying this, he held up the pirate flag and left the moving castle with the people of the Spade Pirates.

Although he had lost the most important pirate flag, Orn could clearly feel that a force called "cohesion" was becoming more and more prominent in this young team.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at the direction where Ace left, wondering if this was Ace's unique personality charm, or another manifestation of his "king's talent"?

Born as a "king", in addition to not bowing to everything in this world, every move will make the enemy tremble, and it is also an extremely important quality to make oneself feel at ease.

Do I... have such an innate talent?

At a certain moment, Orn had such a question in his mind.

But soon, this question was overturned by him.

It's not whether he has such a talent, but that he must have such a talent... After all, he has a goal that is far more ambitious than becoming the Pirate King.

Orn unconsciously clenched his fist, and he silently told himself in his heart:

That day... won't be too far away!
