Pirates: From Admiral to Sea Emperor

By the lake, three people were eating grilled fish together.

Ace and Luffy's attention was basically focused on the fish. Only Luo Lin was still looking at the sky when he casually put the fish meat into his mouth.

"You two brothers have a really good relationship."

Luo Lin suddenly said.

"That is!"

"Just a meal of grilled fish, don't even think about ruining the friendship between us two brothers!"

Luffy gave Luo Lin a smile similar to that of Metkai.

“What if I increase the stakes?”

"Do you think your brotherhood can be maintained in the end?"

Luo Lin put down the grilled fish in his hand and asked Ace and Luffy.

Maybe the two of them didn't realize how serious this issue was.

Luffy's tone was the same as before:

"Even if we exchange it for One Piece's great secret treasure, we will not let this brotherly relationship be broken."

Ace didn't speak, but nodded in agreement.

"is it?"

"I hope you can keep your word."

"Okay, let's eat!"

"After eating, it's time to give you some standard training, two little scumbags with less than five geese in combat power!"

Hearing what Luo Lin said, Luffy immediately became angry:

"Whose fighting ability is less than five geese! You bastard uncle!"

"Oh, it's not that there are less than five geese, it's that I haven't even shot a goose."

Luo Lin corrected seriously, and then received a louder rebuttal from Luffy.

Although both Ace and Luffy were trained by Garp in a very Spartan way to return life, and their physical strength is also good,

But God knows how Garp did it, but the physical strength of these two brothers is not very good, and their strength is not very strong either.

It can be said that it is a bit reluctant for them to practice the Sixth Navy Style now, let alone the more advanced Armament Haki.

But these two are still just children after all, and their plasticity is pretty good.

It is not too late to start systematic training even now.

Therefore, Luo Lin's teachings to them on the first day ended up helping them with physical training.

And it is expected that for many days in the future, they will only conduct some physical training, and at most they will be taught some additional techniques for exerting force.

And at about two o'clock that night,

Ace dragged his tired body to the lake.

The lake, a beautiful scene during the day, is pitch black even under the moonlight.

When the surrounding grass is blown by the wind, it makes a rustling sound, as if there is some dangerous predator hiding in it.

The trees in the distance were illuminated by a light source that didn't know where they came from, casting shadows of claws and teeth in this direction.

Occasionally, a sound of unknown origin suddenly exploded in the ears, making people shiver.

"I thought you wouldn't come."

Behind Ace, someone suddenly spoke.

He turned around and saw Luo Lin, who had appeared at some point.

"I just want to wait until Luffy falls asleep before coming over."

Ace said, looking like a married woman who wanted to go out at night without telling her husband.

"How did you know who I am?"

Ace suddenly asked.

"I know many things, and your identity is just one of them."

"As for why I appear here to teach you and Luffy,"

"It's just to repay old man Garp's favor and to add some trouble to some people."

"Besides, I really hope you and Luffy can join the navy."

Ace looked at Luo Lin with an uncertain expression:

"Even if you know that I am...his son?"

Luo Lin smiled and said:

"What about his son?"

"You are yourself, you are not him."

"What's more, you just have his blood flowing in your body."

"Although you are father and son by blood, you have never even met each other."

"You have no connection to him if you think about it."

Luo Lin said, walked to the lake that looked like a large piece of ink jade and sat down. At the same time, he waved to Ace and asked him to sit over, and said:

"I can see that you are confused."

Ace also walked to Luo Lin and sat down.

At night, the land near the lake smells damp, and there is a biting chill than during the day.

"Then what do you think of him?"

Ace's question made Luo Lin laugh:

"What do you think I, a marine, should think of this Pirate King?"

Ace fell silent.

"But now, I have a new perspective."

"I don't think he deserves to be a father or a husband."

"A qualified and responsible man will not let his lover and children be forced to get involved in that turbulent fate for his own selfish desires."

"Especially when he's ready to walk away."

"I think you have more reason than anyone else to hate him and oppose him."

"But I am his son after all." Ace buried his head in his arms, his voice dull.

Ace himself hated Roger quite a lot.

But in front of Luo Lin, an outsider, he couldn't fully express his feelings.

"Then go ahead and deny him."

"Using his son's identity to prove his existence is a mistake!"

Luo Lin reached out and patted Ace's head and said loudly.

"If you are willing to join the Navy, I think Old Man Garp will be happy to help you deal with other troubles!"

Ace didn't know how he walked back to his residence that night.

Luo Lin's last words were a big shock to him.

It can even be said that it is a path that he has never thought of.

However, Luo Lin only opened a hole in Ace's heart.

Although this kid can pretend to be mature, he is still just a young man with a somewhat rebellious personality.

If you say too much, not only will he be unable to accept it, but he will also become rebellious towards Luo Lin.

After all, young people hate others preaching to them the most.

What they need is "freedom" and "dreams."

In the next few days, Luo Lin never said anything about joining the navy to these two people.

I only mention it occasionally during breaks or when joking.

The two brothers didn’t seem to take it seriously——

It's not like I didn't take it seriously at all.

Luffy inherited the character of Garp and Drago, and after he learned the true face of pirates, he began to waver in his dream of becoming a pirate.

It was also thanks to Luo Lin that he had been on the boat during those days, otherwise Garp's careless character might have caused Luffy to wander his mind.

And Ace actually doesn't have a good impression of pirates because of Roger.

But it is the agreement and dream of the three brothers to go to sea and become pirates.

For Ace, the promise left by his dead brother is something more important than himself.

Although Luo Lin has initially changed their original thinking, Luo Lin's weight is not enough now.

After all, many times, the dead are more perfect and more useful than the living.
