One Piece: I am the Master of Black Magic

Chapter 31 The power of partners

Early the next morning, Ace said goodbye to everyone.

"Are you really leaving?" Luffy asked.

Ace held up his hat: "Since Blackbeard is not here, I have no reason to stay in this country anymore. According to the news from Uncle Scorpion, someone has seen him in the west, and I want to go there to take a look."

"There's really nothing we can do, so see you next time!" Luffy grinned.

"Well, Luffy, keep working hard. See you next time. I hope you and I can stand on the top of the world."

"Of course it is!"

Ace looked at Annie: "Take care, Annie."

Annie's nose felt sour: "Ace, there is something I have always wanted to say to you. I want to say it to you on behalf of many people."

She looked at him seriously: "We are really grateful to have you, Ace, in this world."

"There are many people who love you where you can't see it. Ace, don't let them down and live well."

Ace's pupils shrank, and he felt a dull pain in his brain. The howling wind swept through his heart with inexplicable emotions, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

He reached out and rubbed Annie's head.

"I know, I will definitely do it. Next time we meet, take off your mask and let me see."

Annie tilted her head and said, "Okay."

The car started again, and Luffy held the window open to say goodbye to Uncle Doto who was digging sand.

"Uncle, let's go. I will drink the water you gave me."

They had learned from Doto that the rebels had left the city and moved their position to Catlea.As a result, their trip was in vain and they had to go back the same way.

However, Weiwei had already asked Run Kuai to go to Albana, the royal capital, alone to deliver the message.

On the way back, the car was very silent.

No one expected that coming to Yuba would end in such a messy way.

Luffy suddenly stopped: "Annie, stop."

Stab~ The brakes sounded.

Luffy got out of the car and sat under the bare tree beside the road, with his hands on the back of his head, expressionless and silent.

Everyone got out of the car in confusion, seeing that Luffy was acting unclearly.

"What's wrong Luffy?"

"I quit."

Everyone was surprised when Luffy said this.

"what?"

"Don't do it?"

"Luffy, what do you mean?"

"Luffy, we don't have time to mess around with you here. Get up quickly."

"Aren't we going back?"

"That's right, we have to go back the way we came and go to Cattleya to stop the rebels. If millions of people in this country break out into fierce conflicts, the consequences will be disastrous." Sanji excitedly stepped forward to grab Luffy's arm. clothes, trying to pull him up.

Luffy waved Sanji away and said expressionlessly: "It's so boring."

He looked at Weiwei: "Weiwei, I want to fight Crocodile away. Even if you can stop the rebels, can you stop Crocodile? Even if we get to Cattleya, it won't help. We are pirates. It would be better not to go.”

Although Luffy usually has no brains, he is always sharp on important matters.

Great wisdom is like stupidity, nothing more than that.

"But, but..." Weiwei was embarrassed and wanted to explain something.

Luffy continued: "You want no one to die in this war, neither citizens nor partners.

Our opponent is the Shichibukai. It's obviously a riot war involving millions of people, but you still want to keep everyone safe. Don't you think it's too naive? "

Weiwei clenched her fists and bit her lip tightly with her teeth. The expression on her face seemed to be holding back something.

"What's wrong?" Vivi shouted angrily at Luffy.

“I don’t want anyone to die, what’s wrong with that?”

Luffy just replied to her calmly: "Everyone is mortal."

Vivi was so angry that she swung her fist at Luffy, and just as she was about to hit Luffy's face, Annie took action instantly, grabbed her wrist, and threw Vivi to the ground mercilessly.

"Annie!" Nami exclaimed.

"Nami-san." Sanji stretched out his hand to stop her.

Annie lightly glanced at Weiwei on the ground.

"No one can slap my captain in the face in front of me."

Weiwei lay on the ground, crying and roaring.

"Do you also think I'm naive? Do you think everything I do is meaningless?"

Anne asked back: "Isn't it true? Look at how you look now. You are so helpless and furious. Do you only dare to point your fist at your own captain?"

Anne angrily yelled: "You are the princess of a country. Do you rely on the kindness and simplicity of the superiors to govern the country? Your father is like this, and so are you. Are you, the Neferutari family, really the same idiots?"

"Put away your ridiculous Holy Mother Heart! You are obviously the king of a country, but you allow a big man whose reputation, status and strength to rival yours appear in your territory and who is beyond your control.

Doesn't he understand that such people will threaten his rule?Isn’t it clear that political instability will lead to social unrest?So what if the pirate is recognized by the World Government? In essence, he is still a pirate! "

"So what if you can meet the leader of the rebel army, are you so confident that he will stop because of the little friendship you had when you were children?

Even if he stops, what about the others?They are different forces from all over the country who have gathered for the same goal. They bear the charge of rebels, just to overthrow the rule of the Neferutari family. "

"Human beings may be united when driven by the same interests, but what if their interests change? Will they still be united?

The rebels have an overwhelming numerical strength, 70 versus 30, and victory is in sight. Will they lay down their weapons just because of a few words from you, a princess who is about to step down?

If it were you, with the throne at your fingertips, wealth, status, and power right in front of you, would you be persuaded by the owner to give up all this?This is war!It’s not your little kid’s play house. "

Annie took a breath and her tone gradually became calmer.

"The current situation is no longer within the control of the rebel leader Kosha, Crocodile is the final pusher.

Even if Kosha joins forces with us, he can still jump out and raise his arms, and countless people will immediately support him as the new king.Now, do you still find all this useful? "

Everyone was silent. Weiwei lay on her back in the desert, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.

She screamed almost desperately: "It's obvious that the fault lies not with the rebels and the citizens, so why must there be sacrifices?

what to do?Tell me what can I do?I also know that he is the biggest enemy!But I don’t want to and can’t watch you sacrifice your blood and lives for my country! "

Luffy stood up, walked to Weiwei, and shouted angrily: "We are partners!"

"You can risk your life to go undercover and resist and fight, so can we! Is there anything we can't shoulder together?"

Weiwei's pupils were slightly dilated. Under the dazzling sunlight, Luffy's expression was not clear, but those deafening words struck her heart over and over again.

In the blur, she saw a gleaming hand reaching out towards her. She reached out hesitantly, and the hand grabbed her tightly.
