Pirate: I, son of Roger, Admiral!

Luffy had already heard about this place, while Igor was more familiar with it.

This place is actually a little distance away from Kolber Mountain and is located on the edge of the entire Kingdom of Goa. Needless to say, you can tell where this place is just by looking at it.

Dilapidated buildings that are in disrepair and covered with stains, garbage almost covering the road, rats looking for food among the garbage, and children carrying baskets on their backs rummaging through the garbage.

A combination of a dump and a slum.

This is the garbage disposal area of ​​the entire Kingdom of Goa. All garbage from all over the country will be transported here. But because of the mess here, no managers are willing to come here.

This also resulted in this place called the terminus of uncertain things becoming a gathering place for outlaws, all kinds of unemployed vagrants, and poor people.

Logically speaking, after the deaths of Roger and Reiju, Ace's identity will definitely not feel inconsistent here.

But just because of his reputation as a pirate king, and because Ace kept asking Roger about people when he was looking for someone, Ace would be ostracized by almost everyone here.

The people here called him the "Son of the Devil" in disgust. Everyone who saw him would curse him viciously and tell him to die early.

Growing up in this kind of environment, Ace began to question his own existence over time, thinking that he was someone who was not needed, which is why his temperament became so bad.

The reason why Ig brought Luffy here was not only to solve Luffy's need to make friends, but also to heal Ace's inner scars.

For this kind of psychological trauma, the idea of ​​intimacy is the most effective!

That's why Iger kept irritating Ace and asked him to prepare for a hearty battle.

"Follow me." Ige lowered his head and told Luffy, holding his little hand tightly.

Luffy looked nervous. Although this was not his first time exploring on his own, it was still his first time in such a slum environment.

All kinds of people passing by, including adults, children, and gangsters, cast various looks, either fierce, curious, or joking, which made Luffy feel very uneasy.

But fortunately, I have big brother Ige by my side, which really makes people feel safe.

Luffy sighed in his heart.

However, before he could finish sighing that this big brother would protect him, Iger led him directly towards a gangster carrying a baseball bat.

He, he, he, what is he going to do!

Little Luffy suddenly panicked and trembled all over as he looked at this vicious gangster.

"Hey! Do you know where that bastard Ace is?"

Ige frowned, arched his nose, stared, and asked with a ruffian look on his face.

However, he still has the body of a child. Such behavior does not make people feel scared, but it can inspire the gangster's ferocity:

"Who are you talking to? Do you know who has the final say in this film, you brat!"

When the gangster saw that this kid dared to talk to him like that, he picked up a baseball bat and hit him hard!

call out!

This stick had a wind-breaking sound, and it was quite heavy just by the strength. If it hit the face, he would probably faint on the spot. Luffy on the side had already closed his eyes!

clang!

However, unlike the expected muffled sound, there was a sound of gold and iron clashing.

Luffy slowly opened his eyes and was surprised to see that Ig had resisted the gangster's heavy blow with just one hand!

And I didn’t even feel any vibration!

Brother Ige, you are so awesome!

In just such a short half-day of getting along, Luffy's little heart has been completely manipulated by Igo.

"Let me ask you again, where is that bastard Ace?"

Iger's expression did not change, he still looked directly at the gangster, then his arm slipped and he directly held the baseball bat with his backhand.

There was a heartbreaking crunching sound, and in the midst of the gangster's horrified eyes, the iron baseball bat was crushed directly by Iger!

"Brother, big brother, I, I, I, I will lead the way for you! Don't hit me!" The gangster gave up on the spot and immediately nodded and bowed.

"You're sensible, let's go!"

With a diligent look on his face, the gangster took Igo and Luffy back and forth through the garbage dump, from dusk to dark, before the three of them stopped at the entrance of an alley.

"Brother, Ace is usually active in this area. We don't know if he has a base, but he is definitely nearby!"

The gangster said that he really didn't want to have further contact with Ace, and persuaded Iger not to provoke him too harshly. He also gave his baseball bat to Iger, and then left in a panic.

"Thank you Jerry!" Iger waved to him.

After talking all the way, Iger already knew the name of this gangster and how notorious Ace was in this area.

Even the gangsters are unwilling to deal with him, which shows how bad Ace is.

But no matter how bad he is, Iger's desire to spread affinity with him will never change.

So Iger just paused for a moment, glanced at the dark alley, then led Luffy and got in.

This is actually an alley made of garbage. The two sides are not floor-to-ceiling buildings at all, but high walls made of piles of garbage.

The tentacles of sand penetrated into the ground and extended forward along with Ige's footsteps.

In any film and television work, if the protagonist walks into such a dark alley, he will definitely be attacked.

It doesn't matter if you know it, but it won't be good if you hurt Luffy.

The dim moonlight fell from the sky, casting uneven shadows on the ground.

Everything looks peaceful.

Suddenly, Ige stopped.

Luffy, who was a little worried behind him, didn't react and bumped into Iggy's back.

"What's wrong?" Luffy asked quietly.

"Come out!" Iger did not respond to Luffy's question, but looked up at the top of the garbage wall.

His sand tentacles, through the pressure he felt on the ground, sensed the garbage walls on both sides of him, with two children lying on each side, one on each side.

Definitely Ace and Sabo.

Sure enough, as soon as Ige finished speaking, two short but strong figures suddenly jumped out, each holding a pipe above their heads and slashed it down at Ige!

Unhurriedly, Ige put his arms across his head, and the blue color slowly spread.

clang!

After two crisp sounds, the two figures jumped back.

Taking a closer look, it was Ace and Sabo, both holding a steel pipe in their hands.

"Didn't I tell you to come alone? Why did you bring a helper?" Ace pointed at Luffy behind Igo with a steel pipe.

"Help? No, no, no, I just brought him out to gain experience," Iger shook his head and asked, "Did you call for a helper all day long? Then shouldn't I give you a hand?" "
