Ace and Can Yue looked at each other for several seconds, and Going Merry's atmosphere became weird.
From Ace's point of view, a person with the strength of Shichibukai is sitting on his brother's boat, and his strength is much stronger than Luffy. He must be worried.
After all, he is different from Luffy. Having been at sea for 2 years, he has seen too many intrigues and intrigues.
Especially some time ago, his subordinate Blackbeard suddenly revealed his strength and killed his companions for Dark-Dark Fruit. This sudden betrayal made Ace now have a strong sense of prevention.
He boarded Luffy's ship this time just to see if his brother's crew members were reliable.
Among this group of people, his most important focus is naturally Can Yue.
He is the strongest, talks little, is aloof, and is difficult to understand.
Can Yue naturally knows Ace's purpose, but he doesn't like to be scrutinized.
If Ace's behavior goes too far, he will immediately teach Ace a lesson.
Fortunately, Nami saw the problem.
Interjecting immediately prevented a possible conflict.
"Ace, is there any reason why you came to Alabasta this time?"
Ace immediately adjusted the angle of view and turned to look at Luffy, Nami and others who were very interested in this issue.
"I have a subordinate named Blackbeard. He made the biggest mistake on the ship and killed his companions for profit.
The purpose of my going to sea was to kill him. "
Hearing the three words Blackbeard, Usopp, who had been with Dalton for a while, suddenly reacted.
"Is that the pirate who attacked Drum Kingdom?"
"Yes, he is very strong.
Luffy, if you meet him, be careful. "
Hearing Ace's reminder, Luffy chuckled.
"Don't worry, Ace, our strength has improved a lot with the help of Can Yue.
Do you want to compare notes? I'm very good now. "
After hearing Luffy's words, Ace's expression was calm, but actually he started thinking in his heart.
Can Yue helps Luffy and others improve their strength?
What purpose? Just to help your companions?
Let's take another look.
"Oh? You are very confident Luffy.
But let's leave the discussion for next time. Don't you have something urgent to do? "
Hearing this, Luffy slapped his left palm with his right fist and reacted with a snap.
"Yes, we are going to fight Crocodile now.
Eh? Where have Vivi, Duck and Sanji gone? "
The smart Luffy realized at this moment that two people and a duck were missing on the boat.
Therefore, everyone explained to him Can Yue's speculation and Vivi's actions.
Luffy frowned upon hearing this, and tried his best to think for a long time.
"Oh, it turns out Crocodile has an incredible plan."
Everyone was speechless, "Yes, it's an incredible plan."
But Luffy's next reaction surprised everyone.
"Although I don't understand that bastard Crocodile's plan.
But one thing is clear: Vivi wants to resolve domestic unrest without sacrifice.
This is impossible. How can such a large-scale war not kill people?
She definitely lost her mind, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to say the kind of things that only a fool would say. "
Everyone nodded with dull eyes.
I was wondering in my heart. This idiot captain couldn't understand the conspiracy ahead, but why could he understand Vivi?
Can Yue shook his head and laughed after hearing this.
From the very beginning, he felt that Luffy was a very wise and foolish guy.
But his impression must be wrong.
Luffy's performance at this moment can only prove that this kid has strong empathy and has his own firm values.
He usually looks carefree because things like stealing food and causing damage are not important to Luffy.
In the eyes of Luffy, he thinks that his peers can accept his behavior.
It did create a lot of fun without breaking the bottom line of the companions.
But once a companion does something that hurts him/herself and is inconsistent with Luffy's behavior pattern, that is, his values.
Luffy's emotional intelligence is on display.
That's what it was like at the moment. He empathized with Vivi's feelings at that time.
Luffy is sure, Vivi is seeking death.
So, the captain spoke.
"Vivi definitely went with the belief that he would die.
This stupid Vivi doesn't want to harm us, he just wants to sacrifice himself to save the country.
Does she consider us her companions? "
Speaking of the last sentence, Luffy basically shouted it.
With three simple sentences, everyone immediately understood the abnormal behavior of Vivi.
As a princess of a country, Vivi she would not think of danger.
It's just that [no one sacrifices] this matter is too important to Vivi.
In her eyes, Rebel Army is not wrong, and Royal Army is not wrong either.
Why should you sacrifice?
She wanted to [clear the level without injury] too much.
So, she chose to sacrifice herself. It's just that it's too naive.
Luffy The sudden and clever scene made everyone excited and everyone smiled.
Valentine's Day Mikita and Bomberman Gem looked at Luffy in disbelief.
Is this still the idiot captain?
At first, the two people who were obsessed with Can Yue felt unfair for Can Yue.
Why should such a powerful Lord Can Yue be captained by such an idiot?
At this moment, the two of them seemed to understand a little bit.
Can Yue looked at Luffy and couldn't help but recall some things.
That was not long after leaving Shells Town.
Zoro asked Can Yue a question while Luffy was asleep.
"You are so much stronger than us, why do you want Luffy to be your captain?"
There was no explanation for Can Yue at that time.
If you have to let Can Yue explain his behavior of joining Straw Hat Crew.
So at the earliest, it was to successfully complete the Pirate King event to improve integration and enhance strength.
As time went by, he felt the sincerity and enthusiasm of each crew member.
Especially Luffy, a guy who could do anything for his companions, touched Can Yue's cold heart.
Luffy is almost an adult, but he is an innocent and kind-hearted silly boy.
Along the way, it created a lot of fun and warmth for Can Yue.
Although Can Yue doesn't want to admit it, until now, he regards all the members of Straw Hat Crew as his own.
Except for Mikita and Gem, these two are impure.
Recalling the story of Inuyasha in my impression.
Wasn't that aloof and misanthropic Sesshomaru moved by the innocent and kind-hearted Ling?
But just when he thought of this, Can Yue suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body.
'I am not Sesshomaru, and Luffy is not Ling. The analogy just made is so disgusting'
The thoughts were pulled back.
Unexpectedly, Can Yue was the first to ask about Luffy's plan.
"Captain, make your decision."
After hearing Can Yue's words, Luffy pursed his lips and frowned, as if he was starting to think.
"First, I'm going to defeat Crocodile.
Regarding Vivi.
... Hmm... What should I do? I want to keep Vivi.
Then he wanted to help her stop the war...
EMM... It's so annoying and I can't think of a solution. "
"Pfft~"
Nami and Usopp laughed out loud first.
The guy who looked so smart just now has turned back to this stupid look now.
Zoro shook his head helplessly, then looked at Can Yue.
"We already know what the captain means.
Can Yue, any good plans? "
At this time, everyone turned their attention to Can Yue in the rear.
Chouchou was the first to turn his head and rubbed his puppy eyes.
"What happened? Master just laughed in front of so many people?"
What responded to it was Can Yue's dark expression and Time Whip 25's continuous twitching.
Finally, Chouchou, the puppy with a pig face, began to convey Can Yue's plan.
"I~The land is still in Inner Mongolia~ (inferior humans)"
[Pa!]
"Speak nicely."
Chouchou can only use demon power to repair the swollen face.
Then the narration began.
"The master suggested that he and Luffy go to find Crocodile.
Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Chopper and I, Lord Chouchou, will go together to stop Crocodile's plan about the Royal Army.
The tool man stays on board or chooses himself.
Of course, it would be best if Luffy's brother could help Nami. "
"We will discuss the specific details when we set off.
Changes should be made based on on-site observations.
But we should add that if we find Crocodile in Royal Capital, we should contact the owner immediately with Den Den Mushi. "
A few simple words made Ace standing aside smile with relief.
The plan given by Can Yue perfectly takes into account Luffy's ideas.
In his opinion, although Luffy was not involved in the combat plan, of course it was useless for this kid to participate.
But the core of the entire combat plan setting is the requirement of Luffy.
Even though Luffy's idea is not the best solution for this pirate group.
After all, the best solution for all crew members is to solve Crocodile together as a group.
It is safe, can help each other, and has a high success rate.
But his companions will still comply with the captain's requirements.
Before coming to meet Luffy's companion, Ace was most worried about Luffy being stupidly taken advantage of by his so-called companion.
But look at the current situation. This group of people recognized their silly brother from the bottom of their hearts.
Thinking of this, the anxiety in Ace's heart has disappeared.
"Luffy, you have met a group of very good companions."
After saying this, Ace took off his hat and put it on his chest, and spoke in the direction of Can Yue.
"Can Yue, I looked a little too much after getting on the boat. I apologize to you."
Can Yue looked calm.
"It's okay."
Afterwards, everyone set sail and prepared to implement the battle plan.
When everyone is busy.
Luffy, who was sitting on the bow of the boat, suddenly smiled happily.
'Ace, I am very happy that you can identify with my companion. '
