10: Chapter 10 The Contest with Sabo"This guy's name is Luffy, he's the grandson of my stinky grandpa who I told you about yesterday."
"Ah, so you're Luffy.Wait, Ace, didn't you say you really disliked him?Why did you bring him along today?"
"Well," Ace said with a wry smile, "I made a bet with him that if he beat me, he'd come with me.I thought beating a kid would be a piece of cake, but I didn't expect to lose to him in just one move."
"What!" Sabo exclaimed in shock, "He actually defeated you!" Sabo exclaimed in surprise, "Ding!Side Quest: Spar with Sabo!Quest Reward: 500 Pirate Coins!"
"What, you don't believe me?" Luffy said at this moment, "How about we have a match?"
Before Ace could say anything, Sabo spoke up, "Alright, let me see just how strong you are after defeating Ace."
After saying that, Sabo picked up the water pipe, flipped down the tree, and walked to the opposite side of Luffy.Luffy also picked up the wooden stick on the ground and said, "I'll use this." He then beckoned with his finger in a provocative gesture.
"Tch, what an arrogant brat," Sabo said unhappily.He then charged at Luffy.Luffy didn't waste any words, immediately using Shave to appear behind Sabo in an instant.Before Sabo could react, Luffy flicked the pipe out of Sabo's hand, then smiled calmly at him."Ding, congratulations host, mission complete."
"How about that?I'm pretty strong, aren't I?"
Sabo finally reacted and asked in shock, "Luffy, what kind of technique did you use?How did you get behind me all of a sudden?"
"That's called Shave, one of the Six Powers of the Navy," Luffy replied."The Six Powers of the Navy?Luffy, do you know anyone in the Navy?" Sabo asked疑惑地问道."Yes, my grandfather's name is Garp."
"What?A naval hero?Luffy, you'll definitely become a naval officer someday, right?" Sabo exclaimed in surprise."Naval officer?No way!I'm going to become a pirate, and the strongest Pirate King!"
"The Pirate King?Looks like you share the same dream as me and Ace.But I'm the one who's going to become the Pirate King.How about it?Luffy, you seem pretty strong.Why don't you join my crew?"
"No," Ace said as he walked over, "I'm the one who's going to become the Pirate King, Luffy, come aboard my ship!"
"No, Luffy should join my crew."
"No, you should come aboard my ship."
Luffy watched the two arguing with a headache and said helplessly, "I won't board anyone's ship."
"Why?" they both asked in unison."Because I promised someone that I would form a pirate crew even stronger than his, and that when I meet him again someday, I will have surpassed him."
"I see, that's a pity.But a man should keep his promise," the two said with a hint of regret."By the way, Ace, how did you meet Sabo?" Luffy asked."Five years ago, I came here from the Uncertainty Terminal and happened to meet Ace while he was hunting.I thought he was very strong, so I fought him.That's how we got to know each other."
"I see.So, Sabo, are you from the Kingdom of Goa?"
How did you know?
"My grandfather told me that the final destination for indeterminate objects is on the outskirts of the Goa Kingdom.Based on where you mentioned you're from, I can guess where you're from."
"By the way, what are you guys doing here?" Luffy asked, pretending not to know.
Ace and Sabo exchanged a glance, nodded, and said, "Luffy, I'm telling you, you absolutely mustn't tell anyone, this is Sabo and my secret base, where we hide our sailing funds.Sabo is currently living here to guard the funds."
"I see.Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.But could you show it to me?"
"Alright, come on up," Sabo said, nimbly climbing the tree.Luffy followed closely behind, using Moonwalk to climb up as well.Sabo asked in surprise, "Is this also one of the Six Powers of the Navy?"
"Yes, it's called Moonwalk.It's a movement technique that allows you to walk on air.If I have the chance in the future, I'll teach you the Six Powers of the Navy, and then you'll be half as strong as me (ಡωಡ)hiahiahia"
