Pirate: Ace just wants to get up

A young man sat in a cage and stared blankly at the sky.

At this moment, a figure fell from the sky, his dull eyes flashing with luster.

"It would be great if I could fly freely."

The boy's sight dropped as the flying figure landed in the sky, and finally disappeared behind the masonry wall.

The young man withdrew his gaze, and at this moment, there was a sound from the iron door behind him, and the young man turned his head in confusion.

In the prison, a pair of white wings clung to the boy's back, and he was very afraid of the sounds coming from behind the iron door.

But he soon put down his guard, and a cardboard box was thrown in from under the iron door.

This is his meal.

However, the same boxes were already lined up next to the cardboard boxes. A rough count included at least a dozen cardboard boxes.

The boy looked at the brown food leaking out of the paper box without looking at it.

The young man who had not eaten for a long time stared blankly at the window that was only the size of four cardboard boxes, where there was a blue sky.

This was his happy time every day, just staring blankly at the sky outside the small box. He imagined that one day he would be able to soar with the wings on his back.

"Don't you have to go anywhere today?" The young man looked away, he didn't understand.

Normally at this time he would be called away to serve his master, but it seemed like a long time had passed today, but no one came to take him away.

Just when he was wondering, his hand that had been stretched out crossed the small square frame and grabbed the cardboard box he kept at the door.

0.0

The young man couldn't believe it.

Soon he heard a strange voice outside the window.

"It tastes really bad..."

"?"

The young man was confused and didn't understand. This was beyond his cognition.

For a moment, he couldn't help but feel curious. He jumped up and tried to look outside the small box. He wanted to know who was outside.

When he dragged his weak body and looked outside, a man in a straw hat was holding the lunch he had just arrived and was eating it with his head full at the moment.

Just complaining while eating.

"It tastes bad...and there's so little." The man in the straw hat quickly finished the carton of food, but looking at him, it was clear that he still had more to say.

The boy stared blankly at the man in the straw hat. He had no chains on his body and no collar around his neck, but he also did not wear a bubble helmet.

Soldier?No, the soldiers he knew were all wearing armor.

And this guy has nothing.

"That...that..."

The young man managed to speak.

The man in the straw hat turned back, his eyes full of doubts.

"Well... my name is Kai Li, you... which district are you from?"

"I am Luffy, the man who will become the Pirate King in the future. Which district? Is the East China Sea a district?"

"East...East China Sea? One Piece?" Kai Li tilted his head, recalling the memories in his mind, but there was no relevant information about the East China Sea and One Piece. However, he soon became excited: "What color is the sea? of?"

"Huh? Of course it's blue."

"Is the sea big? Is it as big as that~~?" The young man's eyes were full of energy, and even his weak body was full of vitality again. At the end of the sentence, he tried to reach out to the window to draw the size of the sky he saw.

Luffy listened patiently and gave the answer: "The sea is much bigger than this."

"Eh? Is it bigger than this? Is it this~~~ big?"

"It's bigger than this." Luffy replied with a smile.

The boy and Luffy were discussing the size of the sea through the bars, and they were very happy for a while.

But the happy time did not last forever. The boy's physical strength soon reached the bottom, and he sat down directly on the ground. He was wearing rough clothes and his thin arms were shaking slightly.

His body was already extremely weak after not eating for several days, and now his excitement was exacerbating his physical exertion.

"Hey! Are you okay?" Luffy asked eagerly as he lay on the window, looking at the weak young man in the prison.

Kai Li managed to sit up. He looked at Luffy on the railing and smiled: "It's okay... I'm just a little hungry."

Luffy looked at the paper shell on the ground. He looked at the boy, and then at the lunch box behind him that was already moldy and moldy: "Is that your food? I'm sorry I ate it."

The boy shook his head: "It's okay, I won't eat it anyway."

The young man stood up with difficulty and looked at Luffy's straw hat: "Luffy, can I call you that?"

"Okay, by the way, I smelled other food on the way here. I'll go find it for you." Luffy was about to leave, but Kai Li stopped Luffy.

"No, I didn't eat on purpose."

"why?"

"Because I don't want to live anymore."

"Why? You can only eat delicious food while you are alive."

Kai Li looked at Luffy and shook his head: "It's too painful to live."

"..." Luffy frowned. He actually didn't know much about the situation here. He came here entirely because he was hungry and to avoid the patrolling soldiers.

Although there is a naval patrol nearby, it is very loose.

So he followed the smell of food and flew in.

"why?"

"Luffy, you're not a slave, right?"

Luffy shook his head.

"Sure enough...The figure that flew in before was you." Kaili looked at Luffy with complicated eyes, but he quickly sat down again. He didn't even have the strength to stand after not eating for a long time.

"Hey, are you all right?"

"Luffy... the fight should start soon. The Celestial Dragons will come over. Hurry... leave..." Before the boy could finish his words, he fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

"Hey!!"

In his hazy consciousness, Kaili seemed to hear the sound of hammering fists.

……

When Kaili regained consciousness again, he vaguely saw two figures, one wearing a straw hat, the other with arcs of electricity flashing in his hand, and the sound of tinkling tinkling echoed around him.

Is this going to explode? Mom, Kai is here to find you.

However, the expected explosion did not happen.

The hazy vision is no longer dreamlike, and the buzzing sound is no longer echoing.

Kaili opened his eyes and looked at the two people in front of him.

At this moment, Luffy was holding a bag on his head, and when he saw his sobriety, he immediately broke out into a big smile.

"Are you all right!"

"Luffy? How did you get in...where is this?" Kaili stood up blankly and looked around. At this moment, he was on a desolate land. There were no thick walls around him, and there was no smell of mold. He instinctively lowered his head. , only to find that the heavy collar around his neck disappeared, replaced by a familiar iron ring on the ground.

He was in disbelief.

"My collar?! How is that possible?"

"Ace is very powerful! This kind of collar opens in two or three clicks!" Luffy was full of pride, but the result was a shock.

"Do you know how much trouble you've caused me?"

Kaili blinked his eyes and looked at the man wearing justice beside him, with confusion spreading. But when he looked back and saw the arena, he was stunned. At this moment, where the arena should have been, there was a huge stone, directly covering the main arena. field.

"...!"
