Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

How did it become that Ace triggered Conqueror's Haki because he was too agitated when scolding Luffy?

Everything has completely fallen into chaos.

Chapter 87 Ace and Luffy

"Where am I...? Luffy?"

After an unknown amount of time, it had gotten dark. Ace groggily opened his eyes, and Luffy's face came into view.

When he saw the scene before him, he felt his blood rush to his head and his whole body tremble violently.

At this moment, Luffy's head was hanging in front of him, his eyes were closed, and his hands, feet and body were tied together and placed next to Ace.

"Luffy!"

Ace, his eyes blazing with fury, struggled to his feet, trying to get closer. Suddenly, Luffy, now only a head taller than Ace, heard Ace's voice and opened his eyes, shouting with delight.

"Ace! You're awake!?"

"Nani!?"

Ace stopped in his tracks, startled, staring incredulously at Luffy's head. He tremblingly pointed a finger at Luffy's head.

"Luffy, you, you..."

"Calm down, that guy's fine."

It was that Navy voice! Ace turned his head sharply and saw Chika sitting by the fire, roasting a large piece of meat.

Seeing that Ace had woken up, Chiga stood up, clapped his hands, and looked at Ace.

"That guy is really too dishonest, so, well."

Chiga made a chopping motion with her hand, then took the piece of meat off the fire, took a bite, and commented that it tasted pretty good.

Ace swallowed hard and said somewhat awkwardly,

"Can Luffy return to his original form?"

"Who knows? Maybe it will be okay after I finish eating."

Hearing Chiga's words, Ace breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that he could recover. However, before he could relax for a moment, Chiga added,

"It's also possible that he'll never recover, since he has ADHD."

Luffy shouted indignantly,

"Damn it! Once I recover, I'll definitely show you what I'm made of..."

With a muffled thud, Ace punched Luffy in the face, and Luffy's head deflated like a ball.

*Pop!* Ace withdrew his fist, and Luffy's face bounced back, his head returning to its original shape. He looked at Ace with a wronged expression and muttered,

"Ace, are you going to hit me?"

"You idiot! Do you want to live like this forever? Do you still want to go to sea?!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy's eyes widened in shock. Yes, being unable to swim after eating a Devil Fruit was bad enough, but if his body was also like this, how could he possibly survive?

It has to be said that Luffy's thought process is often slow to catch up, let alone the current young Luffy.

Suddenly, Luffy opened his mouth and took a deep breath, then closed his mouth tightly, squeezing his head into a round ball shape.

Ace covered his face, looked at the idiot in front of him, and asked helplessly,

"what are you doing?"

"Um!"

"say!"

"Hoo!" Luffy exhaled, looking at Ace with a puzzled expression, and said...

"Ace, are you an idiot? I'm not talking or moving around, am I?"

Who's the idiot here?!

Ace suppressed the urge to punch Luffy again, walked over to Chiga, and stood there silently, watching Chiga eat the grilled meat bite by bite.

Ace hadn't eaten all day, and as he watched Chika eating barbecue, his stomach rumbled loudly.

Glancing at Ace, who was standing next to her and not even as tall as herself while sitting, Chiga tore off a large piece of meat from the grill and handed it to Ace, then continued eating the grilled meat in her hand.

Ace took the piece of meat, said thank you, and then wolfed it down.

Luffy, whose head was still hanging there, swallowed hard several times and couldn't help but shout.

"I'm so hungry, can I have something to eat?"

Upon hearing Luffy's voice, Ace paused and looked at Chiga.

Before he could speak, Qianhe waved his hand and said nonchalantly,

"Go ahead and share some with him if you want."

"Thank you!"

Ace felt like he had been granted a pardon. He was now truly terrified of this mysterious Marine, fearing that Chiga might abandon Luffy if she became unhappy.

Ace ran to Luffy's side and tore off a large piece of roasted meat, stuffing it into Luffy's mouth. The properties of rubber allowed Luffy to open his mouth very wide, after all, he was the genius who invented the rubber-swallowing technique.

"Mmm, delicious! That guy with the round eyes is such a good person!"

Hearing Luffy address Chika by her name, Ace felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't dare look at Chika behind him, and ignoring Luffy's greasy mouth, he reached out and covered Luffy's mouth tightly.

However, Chiga's voice came from behind Ace like a demon.

"No need to cover it up, I've already heard it."

Ace suddenly turned around and bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle.

"I'm so sorry, Luffy is just a complete idiot, please don't take it to heart."

Chiga walked past Ace and came to Luffy's head, looking directly into Luffy's eyes.

When Luffy was stared at so closely by Chiga's Rinnegan, the usually fearless Luffy actually felt a chill run down his spine. You know, he had never felt this way even when facing Garp.

This doesn't mean that Chika's strength has far surpassed Garp's. It's mainly because Garp is Luffy's grandfather after all, and with a blood relationship, Chika's fear of Garp is always limited.

"ROOM"

*Whoosh!* The ROOM space unfolded. Ace, thinking Chiga was about to attack Luffy, shouted in panic.

"do not want!"

"Assembling".

"Ok?"

Luffy blinked, vigorously shook his arms, jumped a few times on the spot, then his face lit up with surprise as he hugged Ace tightly.

"Ace! I'm healed! I've recovered!"

Ace, still completely bewildered by the embrace, was visibly shaken. The Marine hadn't even moved, yet Luffy's body had returned to normal; it was all incredibly strange.

Thinking of this, Ace couldn't help but ask Chiga,

Have you ever eaten a Devil Fruit?

"No, don't ask so many questions, you two come with me."

Since Chiga had said that, Ace shut up. Luffy, who was behind him, also dared not make a fool of himself and followed Chiga back to the campfire with Ace.

Chiga sat down on the ground, turned his head and saw Ace and Luffy still standing stupidly beside him. He couldn't help but smile, reached out and patted them on the shoulder, and said,

"What's wrong? You were so energetic during the day. Sit down."

"it is good!"

Ace and Luffy quickly sat down next to Chiga, letting out a long sigh of relief. They had been exhausted by Chiga all day, and it was perfect for them to sit down and rest.

Especially Ace, who actually took a hit from Shinra Tensei. It's only because he's talented enough that he's not even able to regain consciousness.

Not to mention that he was scared out of his wits by Luffy last night. If he could, he just wanted to lie in bed and have a good sleep right now.

Thinking of this, Ace felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and he became increasingly sleepy.

However, Chiga's next words pushed his nerves to the limit once again, leaving him completely wide awake.

Do you know who Roger is to you?

Chapter 88 Dream-Destroying Mentor Qianhe

"I don't know who he is to me! All I know is that he's a bastard!"

Upon hearing Roger's name, Ace reacted as fiercely as a cat with its fur standing on end.

Chiga didn't react to Ace's performance, only nodding in agreement and casually saying...

"He really is a bastard. The so-called Age of Exploration is probably his fault. All sorts of Tom, Dick, and Harry want to become pirates. You can see how many people's homes have been destroyed by these marine trash."

Chiga's words were like a sharp knife piercing Ace's heart. He already loathed Roger's bloodline, and now he felt an inexplicable sense of guilt rising in his heart.

Although Luffy is a bit eccentric, he is kind-hearted. He remained silent for a while after hearing Chiga's words.

But not long after, he started muttering again.

"But pirates are the freest people on this sea, I still want to be a pirate! I'm determined to be the Pirate King!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Luffy felt his body being pulled uncontrollably towards Chiga by a force.

As he flew in front of Chiga, Chiga reached out and grabbed Luffy by the neck, causing Luffy's face to turn bright red.

"Mmm (Let me go!)"

Ace rushed forward to try and rescue Luffy, but was glared at by Chiga, and his outstretched hand froze. He knew that it was completely impossible for him to interfere with Chiga's actions with his own strength.

Chika stared coldly at Luffy in front of her, a hint of killing intent in her eyes.

"If you mention One Piece to me again, you'll stay here forever."

Luffy was also startled. He knew from Chiga's eyes that what Chiga said was true, so he became unusually quiet.

Without looking at Luffy again, Chiga spoke to Ace.
