Rebirth in One Piece as Deputy Captain Chapter 286

Chapter 286

On the Merry!

The people who finally ran out quickly put everything in place, and they were ready to leave this place. The Captain from Loguetown actually chased them here.

Chopper was holding a cloth bag and asked with some nostalgia: “We have just landed on land not very long, are we leaving again so soon?”

Vivi turned around and explained, “Well, we are just buying some things here, and then we are going to enter Arabasta inland, to the rebel stronghold, to prevent everything from happening.”

Raising the sail, Sanji hurriedly shouted: “It’s ready!”

Standing at the helm, Usopp reminded: “Okay, let’s go!”

At this time, everyone found that something was wrong, and it felt like something was missing.

“But!”

“Strange.”

“Why do I feel that we’re missing two people.”

“And we don’t know where they went.”

……

In the town, Luffy was sitting in an empty alley with no one, tilted his head and looked at the foreground, strangely surprised, “It’s strange, how come I am the only one left.”

A silhouette appeared from above, and the tone was full of helplessness, “I really don’t understand. I let you run away first, but you’re still here.”

Luffy quickly looked up, a happy smile appeared on his face, “Ace!”

“Long time no see, Luffy.”

“Me too. It’s been a long time since I saw you!”

Bang! The two held each other’s wrists tightly and competed, just like before with Lin Tian, this is an exchange between brothers.

“It’s been few years, huh?”

“Who knows how long it has been, anyway, a few years or not, Luffy, you still like to act without permission, same as back then.”

“You too. Except that I was surprised to know that you ate a Devil Fruit. You used to hide in the store and ate up the barbecue, and in the end you were saved by Lin Tian.”

“I did not! You ate all those barbecues! I was caught in your place!”

“Obviously it was your fault. It was none of my business”

“It was you, okay?”

Bang! The underground wooden barrel could not withstand the strength of the two, and it burst open, and a full barrel of water spilled on the ground.

“It doesn’t matter who it is, it’s the same. The past is really nostalgic.” Luffy seldom said such words of exclamation.

Taking out a pot of water from his pocket, open the kettle, and ask: “That’s right… isn’t your partner looking for you?”

“Yeah.” Luffy propped his chin and thought, “It’s just that we seem to be lost now.”

“Now you admitted it.”

The sound made the two of them stunned for a moment, and quickly lifted their heads to look, only to see that Lin Tian was already sitting on the roof for some time.

“You’re so embarra.s.sed to say that you can get lost with so many people. Luffy, you set the record again, I think everyone is quite annoyed at this time…”

Luffy looked puzzled, “Lin Tian, since when were you there?!”

Leap down gently, Lin Tian said with a smile: “I’ve been here long ago, just watching you talk so happily, I didn’t want to bother you. But, Luffy, you can get lost with so many people around you; how are you going to let us live?”

“That’s- Haha…” Luffy held the back of the head, and Satori suddenly looked innocent.

After drinking a sip of water, Ace threw the kettle to Luffy casually, with a smile on his face, “However, this is the first time we have gathered together in years.”

Receiving the kettle, Luffy was taken aback, and said with a smile: “Yes, the three of us have always been together like this. It has been a few years now.”

Hearing this, Lin Tian couldn’t help smile, with nostalgia on his expression, “In detail, it should be four years and seven months, since I spent a few days in Windmill Village with the smelly old man that day before I met you both.”

“That’s right, among the three of us, you are the only one who can remember this kind of thing. Luffy and I have never had an idea about this kind of thing.”

Speaking of this, Ace seemed to have heard something. A different smile appeared on his face suddenly, looking at Lin Tian, making Lin Tian uncomfortable from the inside out.

Before Lin Tian could ask, Ace took the initiative to explain, “More than a month ago, I ran into a smelly old man in New World, but he beat me severely. He also said that he must beat you up next time.”

Hearing that made Lin Tian startled, and then immediately appeared laughter from the two. One of the things he was most worried about on the Grand Line was this one.

“Haha…” Luffy hold his belly and laughed, “Grandpa’s fist is very painful! Lin Tian, you’re so screwed!”

Bang!

Ace punched Luffy who laughed and looked at Luffy who was taking pleasure in other people’s misfortune, with a fl.u.s.tered smile on his face again.

“Luffy, you’re laughing at Lin Tian, but you actually got a bounty of 50 million Berry. Presumably the old man already knows, your fate will not be lower than Lin Tian.”

Suddenly realized that he was also on the verge of danger, Luffy’s face was also covered with sorrow, grandpa’s fist had experienced many times, even if he became stronger, he still couldn’t hide from the grandpa’s Iron Fist.

“That’s right.” Lin Tian suddenly realized something and asked: “Ace, weren’t you in New World? Why are you here suddenly?”

He took back his water bottle and screwed it up slowly, “It’s nothing, it’s mainly because of some trivial things, and then I saw Luffy, but I didn’t expect that you are actually doing everything with Luffy and what kind of deputy captain you are.”

To be honest, after hearing Lin Tian said that he had become Luffy’s deputy captain, Ace was indeed shocked. With such high battle strength as Lin Tian, how could he think of joining Luffy?

And being such a highly wanted criminal, joining Luffy now does not mean a good thing. But Lin Tian must have his own purpose in doing things, and many things don’t need to be said, so Ace not at all asked.

“No way, Luffy dragged me and I can’t get off now even if I think about it.” waved his hand, Lin Tian helplessly said.

Hearing this, Luffy smiled triumphantly on his face, “Ace, I said before, I want to pull Lin Tian onto my boat, but the deputy captain place was taken by Lin Tian, so it’s your time this time.”

“I won’t join you, Luffy. I’m at Whitebeard Pirates right now. This is the mark.” Ace pointed to the Whitebeard mark at the back, his tone full of pride.

Staring at Luffy and Lin Tian, Ace’s complexion returned to calm, “I was planning to invite you two, but it seems that you will not join.”

“I won’t, I want to be the Pirate King.”

“Since our captain disagrees, I have nothing to say. There is no way that the deputy captain is just a deputy. I have to listen to the captain.”

Hahaha… Ace covered his hat and laughed. The two replied that Ace had expected it, but he simply asked, if the three of them could be in one pirate group, that would be great.

“I think Whitebeard is the best pirates, I want that person to be the Pirate King, Luffy, not you.”

Luffy doesn’t care about this, “That’s fine, just one fight will do, whoever wins is the Pirate King.”

……

On the road, the three Lin Tian walked side by side in the alley.

“Let’s return to the Going Merry first, otherwise Nami and others will leave us.” Lin Tian said.

Nodded, Ace said aloud, “Yes, although we are not afraid of those Marines, it will inevitably be troublesome to encounter Marines.”

“But.” Luffy tilted his head and asked in confusion: “But, where is the Going Merry?”

“Stupid.” pointing to Luffy’s head, Ace smiled and cursed: “Luffy, you have to be good enough. As a captain, you don’t even know where the ship is. You really haven’t changed at all. Fortunately, Lin Tian is here, otherwise we can’t even find the ship.” Suddenly, Ace’s words changed and asked: “However, except for Lin Tian, your partners are all the same.”

Thinking about it, Luffy clicked his fingers and began to introduce: “There is a swordsman who always wants to be the world’s first sword, a cook who always wears a bellyband and cooks a good dish, a big coward, a reindeer with medical skills, and now there are a princess and a duck as our partners.”

When introducing his companions, Luffy was particularly happy. For Luffy, after sailing for so long, what is most important to him is those partners.

Waving his hands, Luffy looked excited, “They are all very interesting, I really want to introduce them to you soon.”

After quietly listening to Luffy’s report, Ace laughed and turned his head and said, “However, in my opinion, I still find you the most interesting, but… a pirate group with only a few people is really your style.”

“Yes, I also want to find a musician.” Suddenly, Luffy seemed to remember something, “Oh right! I almost forgot about the navigator. Navigator is a woman. She likes maps, oranges and money……Oh, I also like Lin Tian.”

Hearing this, the two on the side were immediately taken aback, Lin Tian was almost not mentioned. His corner of the mouth twitched, you introduced someone like this? The most important thing to you is them more than your own brother?

In response, Ace turned his head and showed a meaningful smile to Lin Tian, stretched out his arm around his shoulders, laughed, and said with a smile.

“Hey, Lin Tian, you are still so awesome, are you not afraid that younger sister Ain will be jealous, and that one of the Seven Warlords, Pirate Empress, known as the most beautiful woman in the world Boa. Hanc.o.c.k is looking for you? But in this respect, you still…”

Bang! There was a loud bang, and in Luffy’s exclamation, Ace slowly stood up from the collapsed wall, holding the cowboy hat whose head was knocked down under the gravel.

He walked out slowly from the smoke and dust, put on the Straw Hat in his hand, and complained: “Hey, Lin Tian, your hands are too heavy, and my small body may not be able to withstand your fists.”

“Hahaha…!” Luffy laughed while watching this scene.

Bang!

However, Lin Tian greeted Luffy with an angry punch, clapped his hands, and beat the two away, his mood suddenly improved a lot after that.
