Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 269 Luffy: What?! Ace was rescued by Goku?!

"Captain, look over there! That's Luffy's ship!"

On the Red Force, Yasopp, with his excellent eyesight, suddenly spotted a pirate ship approaching from afar. The pirate flag on it indicated that the ship belonged to the Straw Hat crew, and its captain was none other than Luffy, with whom they had a deep friendship.

"Luffy?"

Shanks had just finished his conversation with Whitebeard when he heard this and turned to look at him, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

A slight smile appeared on his lips when he saw the pirate ship bearing the straw hat emblem.

"Luffy's here too."

Scenes from many years ago unconsciously flashed before his eyes. Back then, in Windmill Village, he met Luffy, the little guy on whom he had placed great hopes. He even entrusted Luffy with the straw hat that Roger had passed down to him, promising to meet him again when Luffy became an excellent pirate and return the straw hat to its rightful owner.

"Captain, it's been a long time since we've seen Luffy. How about we meet him this time? I've really missed him after all these years."

Lachiru grinned as he bit into a large chicken leg.

Shanks gazed wistfully at the rapidly approaching pirate ship, then shook his head after a moment.

"No, the agreement hasn't been fulfilled yet, and now is not the time for us to meet."

"Let's go, or it'll be too late." Shanks' lips curled into a slight smile.

Luffy, keep going! I look forward to the day we meet again.

At this moment, the Merry was speeding across the sea, leaving a long white trail in its wake.

Luffy was eating heartily on the deck, devouring all the food the cook had just prepared.

"Tesna! Aren't we there yet?!"

Having satisfied his hunger, Luffy darted back to the bow of the ship, gazing into the distance as he shouted a question to his navigator.

"We should be almost there! Wait! What's that up ahead? So many pirate ships!!"

Tissna, holding binoculars, looked ahead and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"A pirate ship?!"

The crew members on deck immediately became alert.

"That's right! There are, at least twenty pirate ships!! They're blocking our path!"

Tissna was a beautiful woman with fair skin and flowing purple hair. At this moment, she looked somewhat solemn, and cold sweat kept appearing on her palms.

She had seen a great many pirate ships, but they all belonged to the same pirate crew. The pirate ships that appeared before her now all had different pirate flags, which meant that these pirates did not belong to the same faction.

So the question is, why are there so many pirate ships from different factions here, and why do they not fight each other, and even seem to be in harmony?

"They're in our way? Then we'll beat them up and charge! No one can stop me from saving Ace!!"

When Luffy heard that someone was blocking his way to save Ace, he panicked and raised his fist as if ready to fight.

Zoro stood to Luffy's right, his left hand on the hilt of his sword, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"Someone's blocking the way? Leave it to me, I can clear a path right away."

A burly man stood to Luffy's left, a huge cannon barrel somehow appearing on his broad shoulders.

His name was Togi; he was both the ship's cook and a combatant skilled in using firearms.

"Hehe, watch me blow them to smithereens with one shot! No one can stand in our captain's way to rescue Ace!"

Usopp and Chopper turned pale with fright.

"Hey, wait a minute, we don't need to rush through them at all! Why can't we just go around them?!"

"Because I don't have time!"

Luffy clenched his fists, his face showing undisguised anxiety.

"Every moment I delay puts Ace in greater danger. I can't afford to waste a single second on the road; I must get to Marineford as fast as I can and rescue Ace!"

Usopp and Chopper, who were shivering, suddenly fell silent.

A few seconds later, the two gritted their teeth, looking determined to go all out.

"I understand, Luffy. Go for it!"

"We'll definitely make it through!"

Just as everyone was preparing to fight their way through the numerous pirate ships, Tissna suddenly shouted, "Wait!! What's that?!"

Tissna's mouth gaped open, her face filled with shock.

Just now, she saw the pirate ships in front of her suddenly part, exposing a huge pirate ship behind them.

On this huge pirate ship, she saw a familiar pirate flag and a familiar person.

"What's wrong, Tissna?!" Luffy and the others turned to look at her.

"Luffy, I think, I think you don't need to go save Ace anymore."

Tissna put down her binoculars and stared blankly at Luffy as she spoke.

Luffy's expression changed drastically: "What did you say?!"

Tissna clenched her fist and gently tapped her forehead, finally calming herself down a little from the extreme shock.

She suddenly smiled, glanced at everyone, and said, "Everyone, we don't need to go rescue Ace anymore, because Ace has already been rescued."

She paused, looked at her companions' gaping mouths, smiled, and pointed ahead, saying, "I just saw Ace! He's right there!"

"I didn't expect to see Luffy here. That kid must have been on a long journey."

On the Moby Dick, Ace stood at the bow, watching the approaching Merry, and couldn't help but smile gently.

In this situation, he knew without much thought that Luffy was tracking him down based on the life card he left behind, and at this time, there was only one purpose in tracking him down: to go to Marineford to save him.

Although Luffy arrived late, he was not unhappy at all; on the contrary, he felt very fortunate.

Given Luffy and his crew's strength, if they were to risk entering Marineford to rescue him, they would face immense danger, and if they were unlucky, they could very well die.

He had already lost a brother before, so he couldn't afford to lose another one now, which is why he was glad Luffy was late.

"So you know Luffy too? I never expected that."

Beside him, Wukong clutched the back of his head in surprise.

After leaving Marineford, he boarded the Moby Dick, intending to have a good meal on board before enlisting the help of the Whitebeard Pirates to take him to the Sabaody Archipelago.

However, to his surprise, he ran into a familiar friend as soon as he boarded the train, and this friend even knew Ace.

"Of course, Luffy is my brother." Ace's gaze remained unchanged, still fixed on the approaching Going Merry.

"Your brother?!"

Wukong was genuinely surprised this time.

He scanned Ace from head to toe, then stroked his chin and pondered, "But you two don't seem to look alike."

"I never said Luffy is my biological brother."

Ace smiled slightly.

"Luffy is my sworn brother. We've been sworn brothers since we were very young, but we're practically like blood brothers. I set sail two years before Luffy, and I met him once on the Grand Line this year after he set sail. And you, how did you meet Luffy?"

Wukong replied with a smile, "I met Luffy on a small island. He hadn't set sail yet. He treated me to a delicious meal, which I still remember to this day."

"Is that so?" Ace smiled, then fell silent and waited quietly for Luffy to arrive.

after a while.

"Ace!!!!

A joyful shout came from ahead.

The Merry was still hundreds of meters away from the Moby Dick, but Luffy, standing on the bow, couldn't wait any longer. He suddenly waved his hand, and his rubber arm stretched out rapidly, grabbing the Moby Dick.

Then, with a whoosh, Luffy shot over like a bullet, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared on the Moby Dick and hugged Ace tightly.

"Ace! I was so worried about you! I'm so glad you're alright!"

Ace hugged Luffy and gently patted him on the shoulder.

"Of course, I'm your brother, how could anything happen to me? But..."

'

"But what?" Luffy, with tears welling up in his eyes, let go of his hand, sniffled, and asked.

"But this time it was really dangerous. I actually thought I wasn't going to survive."

Ace smiled slightly, then tilted his head slightly, his gaze falling on Goku.

"I was able to get out of here alive this time, not only because my father and the others did their best to save me, but also because of Wukong."

Hearing Ace's words and noticing Ace's gaze, Luffy realized that there was another person beside him.

"Huh?! Goku?! What are you doing here?!?"

Luffy's eyes were wide open. He had been so focused on Ace that he hadn't noticed there were other people next to Ace.

"Yo! Luffy, long time no see, hahaha!"

Goku greeted Luffy with a grin.

Luffy blinked a few seconds later, and with his extremely slow reaction time, he finally realized what was happening and abruptly turned to look at Ace.

"Ace, what did you just say? Goku came to save you too?"

When this topic came up, Ace's expression became serious: "That's right, it was Goku who personally saved me from the execution platform. It's safe to say that without Goku, it's uncertain whether I would have survived."

Compared to the Whitebeard Pirates, who were like family to him, Goku's personal rescue of him, whom he had only met once, obviously brought him a greater shock.

Therefore, he is extremely grateful to Wukong. If Wukong were to get into trouble one day, he would risk his life to help him.

Luffy opened his mouth wide, looking at Ace's solemn expression, and he understood everything at once.

"Thank you for saving Ace, Goku!"

Without thinking, he turned around and thanked Wukong very seriously.

Then she immediately grinned and patted Goku on the shoulder: "I didn't expect you to be so amazing. Tissna told me that the execution platform must be heavily guarded, and it would be quite difficult to rescue Ace from there."

"Hehe, it's alright, it's alright." Wukong chuckled as well.

"Goku's strength is definitely much greater than you imagine, Luffy," Ace remarked.

He seemed to see the scene of his first encounter with Goku. At that time, Goku had not even mastered Armament Haki, but now, in less than half a year, Goku had already mastered all three types of Haki, and his strength had increased dramatically.

Back then, he made a promise with Wukong that they would settle their unfinished sparring at their next meeting. But now it seems that the sparring is no longer necessary. He is definitely no match for Wukong now.

"Is he even stronger than Ace?" Luffy asked with great interest.

"That's right, Goku is much stronger than me now." Ace nodded.

Upon receiving Ace's confirmation, Luffy exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! Goku, you're amazing! I could never beat Ace before!"

The Whitebeard Pirates' fleet headed towards the Sabaody Archipelago.

It wasn't just to send Goku to the Sabaody Archipelago, but also because they needed to coat themselves there in order to return to the New World.

Although the Whitebeard Pirates have their own coating masters, they have too many ships. If they could go to the Sabaody Archipelago and hire more coating masters to do the coating, it would undoubtedly speed things up.

The Going Merry went along too, because its captain, Luffy, was currently on the Moby Dick attending a party celebrating Ace's return to the family.

"Gurararara! Is this your brother, Ace?"

When Ace led Luffy to Whitebeard, Whitebeard sized Luffy up a few times and then laughed heartily, showing him great respect.

Luffy curiously sized up Whitebeard, then grinned and said, "My name is Luffy. You're one of the Four Emperors, Whitebeard? My crew told me you're a really powerful pirate, but I'll surpass you someday! Because I'm going to become the Pirate King!!"

Swish! ! !

Upon hearing this, the lively banquet on the Moby Dick instantly fell silent.

But then, a deafening burst of laughter erupted.

"Hahaha! What did I just hear? This kid said he's going to surpass Dad?"

"That's right! And he even wants to become the Pirate King!"

Many pirates laughed until tears streamed down their faces. They weren't mocking Luffy; they just thought it was a really funny joke.

After all, their father is the strongest man in the world, and anyone who hears someone say they want to surpass him would find it utterly ridiculous.

Luffy seemed not to hear the laughter, and just looked at Whitebeard with a smile.

Whitebeard's smile faded, and he stopped using the same look he had given Ace and his brothers. Instead, he began to scrutinize Luffy directly.

After a while, the white-bearded man smiled slightly and said, "Gurarara, then work hard, kid. I'll be waiting for your challenge."

He saw Roger's shadow in Luffy, and his intuition told him that this kid might indeed become the Pirate King in the future.

But no matter what, Luffy is still too weak. If Luffy weren't Ace's brother, we wouldn't even have met him now.

So while he was somewhat moved by Luffy's words, that was about it.

If we want him to truly take Luffy seriously, we'll have to wait until Luffy has the corresponding strength.

The only person he can take seriously now, besides the other three Four Emperors, is Sun Wukong, who shone brightly at Marineford today.

Thinking of this, he shifted his gaze slightly and it landed on Wukong, who was not far away.
