Pirate King: I'm determined to be the King of Sons-in-Law!

Chapter 144 Loya and Ace

Mister Island, in the southern sea.

"Boom boom boom!"

The warships chased after the pirate ship, and waves kept exploding around it.

"It's the Spade Pirates!"

"Fire!"

"Give it a good beating!"

"Let them see how terrifying the G-5 is!"

Commodore Guotou directed his subordinates to pursue the Spade Pirates with all their might, while also keeping in touch with Squadron 11.

"Boss Loya, we've spotted the Spade Pirates near Myster Island, and they're currently engaged in battle!"

"Keep your distance, don't get too close. That guy is beyond your capabilities. We're on our way to provide backup."

"clear!"

"Kachcha!"

The brigadier general hung up the phone in excitement.

He himself did not expect the Spade Pirates to be so easy to catch. In the past, when using Den Den Mushi fishing tactics, he was lucky to succeed once out of ten times.

However, safety is the most important thing.

Let's wait for Boss Loya to arrive!

It's enough to just put on a show; there's no need to go to such lengths. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is their way of survival.

"Brothers, keep your distance!"

"Ohhh!"

The warship quickly slowed down.

Ace of Spades, deck.

The crew struggled to maintain control of the ship, dodging the warship's gunfire, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they had created a safe enough distance.

"Change course, to Mister Island!"

"clear."

The warships were in hot pursuit, and there was no time to relax. They also needed to go to Mister Island to recharge the magnetic field and replenish supplies for the logging pointer.

The best approach is to hide the ship in a secluded coastal area and use the island's complex environment to shake off the navy.

As for engaging in direct combat with the navy, that's pointless; destroying one warship will only lead to more appearing soon.

The crew glared angrily at Ace.

"I told you it was a trap!"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Ace bowed deeply in apology, his attitude quite sincere.

The crew members looked helpless. Similar situations had happened more than once, but their captain never seemed to learn his lesson.

"Never mind, let's get to the island first."

Half a day later.

The 11th fleet of warships arrived at Mister Island.

Loya was dressed in a black suit and sunglasses, and the officers behind him were also dressed similarly, looking like a group of thugs in suits.

"Fire Fist Ace is on this island. Conduct a full search!"

"yes!"

Hundreds of marines immediately flooded the island, carrying Ace's bounty poster and questioning each resident, who cooperated readily.

As long as Ace is on this island, finding him is only a matter of time.

"Disperse your actions."

Loya gave an order and led his adjutant into the town. The task of finding people was rather tedious, so he left it to his subordinates.

He just needs to wait for the result.

"Lu Yun, what are the special features of this island?"

"Senior, there's a Spicy restaurant on the island. I've heard that their dishes are incredibly spicy and delicious."

"Okay, let's wait there."

Soon, the two arrived at the Spicy restaurant.

Loya sat down at a table outside the shop, casually ordered a few signature dishes, and frowned slightly as he fell into thought.

He had no worries or concerns about capturing Ace; he would just arrest him if necessary, and there was nothing to hesitate about.

What bothered him was another problem.

The activity area is too small.

The G-5 branch is located at the entrance to the New World, and the pirates they can come into contact with are basically newcomers who have just entered the New World.

Even when they go out, they can only wander around surrounding islands such as Raijin Island and Dressrosa, and their activity range is less than one-fifth of the New World.

It takes half a year to catch a supernova with a bounty of over 100 million. If this continues, it could take many years to get promoted to lieutenant general.

The problem is that famous pirates rarely linger in the entrance area; they all head deeper into the New World.

But he can't stray too far from G-5.

Supply and support are one aspect, but headquarters will not allow him to act recklessly.

The New World is the territory of the Four Emperors, and without permission from above, conflict with the Four Emperors is prohibited.

Entering the territory of the Four Emperors is a provocative act, and he, a mere junior general, cannot bear the responsibility of starting a war.

Ultimately, the Navy's primary responsibility is to maintain stability, not to eliminate pirates; otherwise, they wouldn't have driven all the pirates to the New World.

If the G-14 branch fortress in the central region of the New World could have been built sooner, it would have made things much easier.

"Whew, so spicy!"

Lu Yun slurped up the signature dish, "Bhut Jolokia Spaghetti," her face flushed red from the spiciness, and beads of sweat kept sliding down her neck and into the cleavage of her chest.

Even though it was unbearably spicy, it showed no sign of stopping.

The spicier it is, the more I want to eat it.

Loya smiled and shook his head, then picked up his knife and fork to enjoy the food.

He quite likes spicy food, but the navy's food rarely has very spicy options; it's mostly sweet and high-calorie meats.

"Phew~ It's really spicy."

After taking just one bite of noodles, beads of sweat appeared on Loya's forehead.

strong enough!

"It's so spicy, but it's so delicious!"

A strangely familiar voice came to my ears.

"Um?"

Loya turned his head to look and was taken aback.

It's Ace!

"How can it taste so good!"

In the blink of an eye, Ace finished the entire plate of "Ghost Pepper Spaghetti".

Perhaps because it was too spicy, Ace tilted his head back and spewed out flames with a spicy taste from his mouth.

It's over ten meters tall!

The shop owners and diners were stunned; it was the first time they had ever seen a human being so engrossed in eating spicy food that they could breathe fire.

"Boss, another one, no, ten more servings of Bhut Jolokia spaghetti! This is the first time I've ever had such delicious food!"

Ace held his knife and fork, his face full of anticipation.

Then, he saw Loya smiling at him.

"Um???"

A question mark appeared above Ace's head.

Ace quickly realized what was happening and his face lit up with joy.

"Loya!"

"Yes, it's me."

Loya stood up with amusement. He had been trying to catch this kid even if he was staking out the spot, but he never expected to run into him while having a meal.

Is this considered good luck?

Lu Yun asked in surprise, "Senior, do you know Fire Fist Ace?"

"Yes, we spent some time together before."

Loya approached Ace, looked at the happy Ace, and sighed, "Do you remember what I said when we parted?"

"At the time of parting"

Ace recalled the past, and his face visibly turned green.

He remembered.

"I'm a pirate now, you're a marine, we're enemies!"

"That's right."

Loya nodded slightly: "Are you planning to surrender, or should I beat you up and then drag you back?"

"Who would surrender so easily!"

Ace shouted as he stood up, confidently pushing up the brim of his hat with his fingers.

"I've become stronger, so it's time for another match. I was really upset about losing to you back then!"

"Alright, let's go somewhere else."

Loya headed out of town; the densely populated town was not a suitable place for fighting, as it could easily injure innocent people.

He doesn't have any emotional burden regarding friendships. Given Ace's current crimes, as long as Vice Admiral Garp vouches for him, he shouldn't be sentenced to death. But if Ace joins the Whitebeard Pirates, there will be absolutely no way out.

Without further ado, Ace followed.

He had longed to meet Loya!

Then, defeat Loya!
