Zoro actually succeeded in becoming a disciple.
This scene made Ace not far away look straight in his eyes.
He hesitated for a moment, looking at Akira's gentle profile, but in the end he couldn't suppress his inner desire.
He took a deep breath and strode over.
As soon as he arrived in front of Akira, Ace immediately straightened his back and raised his hands in salute. "Lord Marshal!"
Akira turned to look at him, with the same smile that made people feel like spring breeze still on his face, "It's Ace, what's the matter?"
"I also want to get your advice!" Ace took courage and looked at Akira with burning eyes, "Especially Conqueror's Haki, although I Awakening, I always feel like I am stuck and have no progress at all."
Akira heard this and said with a warm smile, "Conqueror's Haki cannot improve through "cultivation"."
"It represents a person's "capacity" and "will", and is the natural aptitude of a king. What you have to do now is not to think about how to improve Conqueror's Haki, but to find ways to make yourself stronger, whether it is physical skills, swordsmanship or mental state."
"When you become strong enough, your Conqueror's Haki will naturally increase accordingly."
Ace nodded in understanding, but his eyes became brighter.
"Then..."
Before Ace could finish speaking, Akira simply said, "When I give Zoro guidance in the future, you can come with me."
"Really?!" Ace was overjoyed, and a bright smile instantly bloomed on his face, "That's great! Thank you Lord Marshal!"
This is a hornet's nest.
Seeing that Zoro and Ace had obtained Marshal's "small stove" permission, the remaining people on the deck could no longer sit still.
"That...Lord Marshal..." Nami and Nojiko looked at each other and came over.
"And me! I want it too!" Koala raised his hands for fear of being left behind.
"Hey! Why can Moss Head and freckles face, but I can't!" Sanji squeezed over with an unconvinced look, "Lord Marshal, please let me participate too!"
For a moment, Akira was surrounded by people, chattering and it was very lively.
Akira glanced around at these energetic faces and said with a smile, "Providing guidance to you is part of this internship."
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of cheers on the deck.
Akira's eyes finally fell on Sabo, who was a little confused in the crowd.
"Sabo."
"Ah? Yes!" Sabo was excited and stood up straight.
"Has your memory still not recovered?" Akira got straight to the point.
Hearing this, Sabo blinked blankly, and then scratched his head in distress. "I don't know what's going on. During this time, I always feel that I have known Ace and Luffy for a long time. The feeling is very familiar... but I just can't remember it."
Hearing this, Luffy and Ace looked at Sabo in unison.
"Don't we tell you about our past every day?" Luffy pouted, a little confused, "Why haven't you remembered it yet?"
Ace was also a little anxious, "I have told you the story of our sworn vows no less than ten times!"
"I..." Sabo patted his head, apologetically, "I really don't remember that we were sworn friends!"
Seeing the appearance of the three brothers, Akira smiled.
"Come forward." He waved to Sabo.
Sabo didn't know why, but he still walked up to Akira obediently.
Akira raised his hand and gently placed it on the top of Sabo's head.
An invisible wave spread quietly, and Observation Haki was like the gentlest stream, penetrating into the depths of Sabo's consciousness and guiding those dusty and broken memory fragments.
Sabo's body trembled suddenly, and his eyes instantly lost focus.
Scene after scene, like a movie with the fast-forward button pressed, flashed rapidly in his mind.
The bandit of Mount Colubo, the giant tiger of the Forest of Prohibition, the secret base built by the three of them, the exchanged bowl of sworn wine that represents brotherhood...
There is also the despair of the small fishing boat that set sail and fell into the sea after the Celestial Dragons bombardment.
"Ah--!"
Sabo suddenly held his head and let out a low roar of pain.
Those memories that have been forcibly forgotten are like floods that burst the embankments, crashing away the embankments that have been restrained for many years.
"Sabo!"
"Sabo What's wrong with you?"
Ace and Luffy were shocked and rushed forward immediately.
Akira took back his hand and looked at everything in front of him calmly.
After a few seconds, Sabo gradually calmed down. He slowly raised his head, his face already covered with tears.
He looked at the worried Ace in front of him, and then turned to look at Luffy next to him. His lips trembled, and in a voice that was almost choked, he called out the two names engraved deep in his soul word by word.
"Ace...Luffy..."
"Sabo?" Ace's voice was trembling.
"Do you remember?" Luffy's eyes suddenly turned red, and big tears rolled down.
"Yes." Sabo nodded heavily, his vision blurred by tears. He opened his arms and held his two brothers tightly in his arms, "I'm back, Ace, Luffy!"
"Wow--Sabo--"Luffy couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.
Ace, this young man who has been trying hard to play the role of a mature big brother, also has red circles in his eyes at this moment.
The joy of finding something is enough to defeat any pretense of strength.
The other people on the deck also smiled knowingly as they looked at the three brothers hugging each other tightly.
"Yo ho ho ho ho ho."
At this moment, a unique laughter broke the touching atmosphere.
Brook wiped away the non-existent tears and raised the cane and sword in his hand high.
"It's such a beautiful time for brothers to reunite! How can there be no banquet and music!"
"The banquet is about to begin!" Luffy immediately held back his tears when he heard this and raised his hands high.
"Meat! I want to eat meat!"
One sentence ignited the atmosphere of the whole place.
Soon, the deck of the internship ship turned into a sea of joy.
Sanji was busy in the kitchen, and dishes with fragrant aromas were served on the table. Franky brought out his collection of cokes, and Usopp took out all kinds of weird banquet props.
"Come on, come on! Let's play the "Adventure King" game!" Luffy pulled out a Straw Hat from somewhere, put it on his head, and announced, "The rules are very simple. I will be the "Adventure King" and you come and grab my hat. Whoever grabs it will be the first "Adventure King"!"
This simple and crude rule immediately aroused everyone's interest.
A chase surrounding Straw Hat instantly started on the deck.
On the other side, Zoro and Sanji are at odds again.
They played a game called "One-legged single-plank bridge". The rule was to stand on one foot on a mast covered with oil. Whoever could hold on for the longest time would win.
"Curly eyebrows, can you do that?" Zoro sat cross-legged on the mast, as steady as a mountain.
"Shut up Moss Head! Watch me kick you down!" Sanji was independent and swaying, but he showed no sign of weakness.
Nami and Nojiko took Koala and played "Navy Glory" cards, and whoever lost got a turtle painted on his face.
Brook was playing the violin on the side, and the melodious <Binks' Sake> echoed in the night sky, adding a different style to this carnival.
Laughter, noise, and music intertwined together to dispel the loneliness of the night.
The party lasted until late at night.
Finally, everyone was tired of playing, lying on the deck in a haphazard manner, and fell asleep.
The moonlight shines on these young faces, making them quiet and peaceful.
In the shadow of the cabin, Hancock glanced at the interns staggering on the ground with disgust, then moved lightly and walked straight to Akira's room.
She came to the door, looked around, made sure there was no one around, raised a victorious smile on her lips, opened the door and slipped in.
This is a banquet exclusively for her and Akira!
