In Alabasta, heavy rain kept pouring down.

Smoker and Hina stood in the heavy rain, silently looking at the lifeless Crocodile on the ground, with only half of its body left.

"It's a burn, a terrible burn. It seems that as long as it comes into contact with the flame, everything will be vaporized instantly.

This is..."

Hina looked at the remaining half of Crocodile's body and murmured in disbelief.

"Portcas. D. Ace."

Smoker gritted his teeth and spit out the name.

"It's unbelievable that even though he knocked you unconscious with only Conqueror's Haki, he was able to kill Crocodile.

Crocodile, but Shichibukai! Hina-, was shocked. "

Hina murmured, then looked around.

"And look around here."

Hina pointed to her surroundings.

Even though it has been raining heavily for so long, the surrounding sand is still emitting high temperatures, and countless white smoke continues to rise into the sky.

The place where they stood was obviously sunken compared to the surrounding area, as if it had evaporated out of thin air.

What surprised Hina the most was that a little green grew out of the sand that seemed to have been evaporated.

After destruction, life emerged.

"It's like it has changed the climate here. Portcas D. Ace, that man's ability..."

Hina looked at the drastically changed environment around her with a solemn face.

There are only three people in Marine who can do this kind of thing.

"Devil Fruit, wake up!

Even if he has not awakened, that man is only one step away from this level. "

Smoker gritted his teeth.

As Logia Demon fruit power, Smoker knows this all too well.

Once the Devil Fruit ability of Logia Demon fruit power is awakened, it will be able to permanently change the climate of a place.

But Portkas D. Ace is a Mera-mera Fruit capable user. If his Devil Fruit is really awakened, the climate should not be like this.

But even if he has not awakened, that man is only one step away from this realm.

That level of Conqueror's Haki, plus Devil Fruit that has been developed to such an extent...

Smoker clenched his fists tightly, lowered his head and remained silent.

"Report! Colonel Smoker, Colonel Hina!"

At this time, in the rain, the Japanese sailors trotted over here carrying several bodies.

"Um?"

Smoker and Hina looked at those people.

“These people were also found in the desert, two of whom were criminals with bounties on their heads.

They are the thorn fruit ability user, the poisonous spider Sara,

Clone-Clone Fruit ability user, Von Clay,

Also, there is this man, he is a famous killer in West Blue named Daz Bones.

After seeing Mr. 1 Daz Bones, Smoker's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Well, these people are all dead, but these Demon Fruit Power still have one breath left.

The wounds on these people are all different. Were they done by Portcas D. Ace's men? Hina, guess.

Hina checked the injuries on M.1 and others and murmured.

"Crack!"

The sound of the cigar being bitten made Hina raise her head in confusion.

Smoker's face was full of gloom, staring at the huge wounds on Mr. 1's body with a knife.

"What's wrong? Smoker? Smoker!"

Hina looked at Smoker's appearance and said loudly.

"How could it be? It was a wound caused by a swordsman."

Smoker's face was filled with gloom and his fists were clenched.

"You mean... the female Chief Cao who was abducted by Portcas D. Ace?!"

Hina frowned and suddenly her beautiful eyes widened.

Smoker said nothing after hearing this, and his expression became even more gloomy.

Portcas D. Ace's ship belongs to the Swordsman, and there should only be...

Why!

Tashigi, did you choose to help Portcas D. Ace?

Also, how could Tashigi be able to defeat this Daz Bones in front of him?

Even Smoker has heard of this person's reputation.

In the end what happened?!

"Let's report it first. A Shichibukai died, and this kind of thing happened in Alabasta. It's beyond our ability to deal with it."

Hina was silent for a moment and said.

Smoker stood in the rain and didn't leave for a long time.

Although it rained continuously in Alabasta.

But Ace saw how much Vivi wanted to see her father right now.

So, after simply changing his clothes, Ace used the moving crab again.

Although Vivi repeatedly said that it would not be too late to return to the capital when the rain stopped.

But Ace and the girls all understand Vivi's mood at the moment.

For the sake of the country and the people of Alabasta, I infiltrated the huge criminal organization Baroque Studio. After experiencing so much, I finally relieved my heavy burden.

The feeling of wanting to see relatives at this moment must be extremely longing.

All the girls said to Vivi that rain is not a problem at all.

So Ace and others rushed to the royal capital of Alabasta as quickly as possible using moving crabs.

In the royal capital of Alabasta, Ace and the others received the warmest welcome.

"Father!"

Seeing Cobra standing in the rain with a kind smile on his face, Vivi bit her lip and tears flowed down her cheeks.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back safely.

Cobra looked at his daughter with relief.

"You are Ace, the amazing young man, you saved Alabasta.

Please accept my thanks. "

Cobra looked at Ace, wanting to bow deeply.

But Ace just raised his right hand slightly, and Cobra felt a mysterious power condense in front of him, unable to hold down his waist at all.

"Don't mess with the seniority, uncle."

Ace said with a smile on his face as he controlled Conqueror's Haki.

Cobra was stunned for a moment, then saw his pretty daughter with a red face, and immediately understood.

His expression was a little complicated, and he felt as if the flowers at home were being taken away.

"Welcome back, Your Highness Vivi."

Jaka and Bell looked at Vivi, the girl they had grown up with, with smiles on their faces.

Now, Her Royal Highness is the princess who can save Alabasta.

"Jaka, Bell."

Vivi responded with a smile on her face.

"By the way, Vivi, who do you think this is?"

Kobra pointed behind him.

"Your Highness Vivi!"

"Ikaram!"

Looking at the person who appeared, Vivi looked surprised.

Although she already knew from Robin that Ikarim was not dead, Vivi was not very surprised when she actually saw him.

"After hearing the information about your landing in Alabasta, I asked him to return to the capital.

Robin smiled.

"You, how did you..."

Ikarem was shocked when he saw Robin, and looked at Robin warily.

"Don't be nervous, Ikarem, she is already our companion."

Vivi waved her hands quickly.

Ikarem was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ace thoughtfully.

Our? Companions?!

Your Highness Vivi, this is...

"Anyway, come in quickly, the banquet is ready.

Cobra turned slightly sideways and said with enthusiasm.

"Banquet? You have to taste the delicacies of the Alabasta Palace, hahaha."

Ace's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he followed Cobra into the palace.

"Come in, everyone."

Vivi looked at Nami and the others with a thick smile on her face.

"By the way, Vivi, where are your treasures? I want to visit them."

Nami pulled Vivi and said expectantly.

"Well, then, let's eat first."

Vivi wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and smiled reluctantly.

Looking at Nami's eyes that had turned into the shape of Bailey, Vivi really didn't dare to take Nami to visit.

"Welcome to Alabasta Palace, please enjoy.

In the reception hall of the palace, Kobra sat on the main seat and said loudly.

The table is filled with Alabasta’s specialties.

"Thanks for the hospitality, let's get started.

Ace said very politely.

"Hahaha, please don't be polite, Ace, and everyone else, you are our great benefactors at Alabasta."

Kobra's affection for Ace has grown greatly.

To be so strong, to be able to defeat Crocodile, and to be so polite, he is truly a rare young man.

But then, Kobra was stunned.

Ace was seen swallowing the food and wine on the table at an exaggerated speed.

Ace, who had just fought with Crocodile, felt that the cells in his body were extremely hungry for energy.

This is also the time for complete absorption and maximum effect.

The food was digested quickly, and Ace's physique continued to become stronger.

Subsequently.

"boom!"

Ace fell straight onto the table.

"Ace?!"

Cobra was immediately shocked, thinking that the remnants of Baroque Studio had poisoned the food.

But his daughter Vivi signaled Kobra not to be nervous, the next second.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

A small cry sounded.

"Sleep, sleep?!"

Kobra, Gakkar, Bell and others were stunned.

After about a few minutes, the energy accumulated in his body was almost completely absorbed, and Ace opened his eyes.

Later, he once again engaged in the battle to eliminate delicious food.

"That's how Ace is, we're all used to it."

Vivi covered her red lips with a smile on her face.

At this moment, Vivi didn't eat the delicacies on the table. She just held her chin up and smiled sweetly as she looked at Ace who kept destroying the delicacies.

This smile made Cobra feel sad.

After all, my flowers were taken away.

In the kitchen.

"Hurry up and serve the food. You are indeed the young man who saved Alabasta. The appetite is really amazing.

But I won’t lose to young people. "

Ikarem's wife, who looks very similar to Ikarem, the foreman of the kingdom's kitchen, Tiragotan, rolled up her sleeves and said loudly.

Ace not only saved Alabasta, but also saved her husband. At such a critical time, how could he not let his great benefactor have enough to eat?

Then the shovel in his hand started to smoke.

boom!

Finally, after Ace completely replenished his body's energy, Tila Gotan collapsed on the ground and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

As expected of the young man who saved Alabasta,

0Please ask for flowers…………

"I'm full, thanks for the treat."

Ace wiped his mouth gracefully and looked at Kobra.

"You, as long as you are satisfied."

Kobra looked at Ace who had returned to his original shape, opened his mouth, and said mechanically.

No, he is indeed a young man who can defeat Crocodile.

After eating so much food, my body shape has not changed at all?!

No, it's not that it hasn't changed. It seems that the muscles in the body are a little tighter?

Cobra was a little unsure whether he saw it right, after all, this was really unbelievable.

But after shaking his head, Cobra stopped thinking about it and looked at Ace.

"Ace, and Nami, Kaya, Tashigi, Nokki, thank you again for helping us Alabasta.

Cobra looked at Ace and the others with emotion, but this time he did not salute again.

After all, he also knew that with Ace here, even if he wanted to salute, he couldn't.

"You are so kind, Vivi is also our companion.

Nami picked up the wine glass and smiled sweetly.

"Of course, it would be better if you could let me visit the Kingdom's treasury."

Nami changed the subject and smiled even sweeter.

"Ahem! Then what can I do to repay you?"

Cobra looked at Nami's eyes that had turned into Bailey's shape, coughed dryly, and said seriously.

Nami was speechless for a moment, pretending that she didn't hear her own words.

"There is actually one thing."

Ace looked at Kobra and smiled.

"Please don't be polite, just say it."

Cobra looked at Ace and said solemnly.

If you are kind, you must repay them. This is a required course for desert men.

“Can I ask my historian to take a look at the historical text.

Ace looked at Robin and smiled.

0......0

Robin was drinking tea elegantly, but suddenly he was stunned and looked at Ace blankly.

She really didn't expect that what Ace wanted in return was this.

And, the historian in me...

"Historical text? Can you understand the historical text?"

Cobra was stunned and looked at Robin who was not far away. When he saw Robin nodding and his eyes moving slightly, he felt a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in that Pluton stuff, it's just that the historian in me wants to explore the truth of a period of history,

I'm also interested in this, so please. "

Ace said solemnly.

"Is that so? If it were you."

Cobra thought for a moment, stood up, and said with a smile.

A man who can defeat Crocodile at such a young age really doesn't need something like Pluton.

"Well, Nami, you go and have a rest first. Robin, Uncle King, I will go read the historical text together."

Ace smiled at Nami and the others.

"Vivi, are you really not going to take me to visit the treasure house?"

But at this moment, Nami is pestering Vivi and acting coquettishly.

Ace, go ahead, we're waiting for you here. "

Kaya waved her hand and smiled sweetly.

"Crunch!"

In the Burial Ceremony Hall, a floor suddenly lifted up.

"Here it is, the historical text that our family has protected for generations."

Kobra said solemnly.

"Let's go."

Ace looked at Robin who was in a daze and said.

Robin nodded silently and walked away, with a complicated look on his pretty face.

As Ace and others walked, past the funeral inscriptions, a square stone tablet engraved with ancient characters appeared in front of Ace and others.

"The main text of history! It's really the main text of history!"

Robin excitedly ran to the historical text [touched the stone tablet slightly with trembling hands.

"Hurry up and read it. Let's take a rest after reading it."

Ace leaned against the stone wall behind him and yawned.

"You don't seem to be very interested in this historical text.

Kobra asked curiously.

"That Crocodile guy has been laying out the plan for so many years. He must have accurate information showing that the historical text here should contain the location of the host of the banquet, right?

I am not interested in this kind of thing at all. What I am interested in is the blank hundred years.

The corners of Ace's mouth quirked up slightly.

"A blank hundred years!"

Cobra was shocked and a little silent.

"Why, how could this happen?

At this time, Robin, who had finished interpreting the historical text, took a few steps back unconsciously.

"How? No history you want?"

Ace's chuckle came, and Robin turned around sharply.

"It seems that I have to say this. Welcome, my historian.

The sea is very vast. "

Looking at Ace's outstretched hand and gentle smile, Robin's beautiful eyes felt a little sour for some reason.

"Then, please give me some advice, Captain."

Robin put his delicate hand into Ace's palm and smiled.

night.

After the fierce battle, everyone who rushed to the capital of Alabasta from the rainy land was already exhausted.

Ace needs to sleep and run the Combat Turtle Breathing Technique to maximize this harvest and sleep soundly.

There was silence in the palace.

"Ta-ta..."

"Crack!"

Amidst a burst of cautious footsteps, Ace's door was slowly opened.

Under the moonlight, her long blue hair is so attractive. .
