Sailing begins with becoming Luffy

In the face of Nami's questioning eyes, Luffy just smiled faintly, and then asked everyone to act according to the arrangement just now.

Although Luffy's straw hat is very recognizable, it is clear that not everyone pays attention to the Navy's bounty.

After all, for civilians, even if you know that someone is a pirate, it won't change anything.

Luffy walked down the street like this, and there were no special people observing him, except that someone looked at him from time to time because of his clothes.

Luffy soon came to the location where Ace, who had seen and heard the domineering perception, was located.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, Luffy saw Ace sitting at the bar, eating, and there were already empty plates in front of him.

Wearing a gentleman's hat, he is naked and has a skull mark on his back, and a crescent moon beard on the skull crosses the middle of the skull.

Seeing that the other party was dressed as in the original book, Luffy didn't step forward immediately.

And Ace didn't find out about Luffy's existence for the first time, and he just kept stuffing food into his mouth.

However, his hand holding the spoon suddenly stopped, and then the whole person just froze in front of the bar and did not move.

"Hey, guest, what's wrong with you?"

The owner of the restaurant saw Ace's stop and asked curiously, but he didn't get a response.

"Hey, hey, guest, are you alright?"

Seeing that Ace didn't respond, the restaurant owner reached out and pushed Ace again, but there was still no response.

The restaurateur staggered back a few steps, his face already covered with horror.

He ...... He's ...... Dead?"

The boss pointed to Ace, who was sitting motionless, and his voice trembled a little.

When the surrounding guests heard the boss's words, they all gathered around and pointed at Ace, who was motionless.

"Well, he couldn't have eaten a desert strawberry by mistake, right?"

Desert strawberries are not an uncommon thing for the people of Alabastan, they are a poisonous spider that looks a lot like strawberries.

After eating, the person will die suddenly within a few days, because the shape is very similar to strawberries, and it is easy for foreign travelers to be tricked.

"Then boss, you're too unlucky, someone suddenly died in the restaurant, it's very unlucky!"

Although it is not the reason for his own restaurant, the person in front of him is dead here, which will definitely have a bad impact on his restaurant.

The restaurant owner wanted to cry for a while, which was simply a disaster.

"Don't worry, he's just asleep. "

Luffy walked in from the door of the restaurant and said to the restaurant owner.

"Hey, little brother, don't lie to anyone, how can anyone fall asleep suddenly while eating?"

This is the one in front of you!

Luffy's voice immediately attracted the attention of the restaurant owner and onlookers.

But these people obviously don't believe Luffy's words, after all, it's too strange to suddenly fall asleep during dinner, right?

"Since you don't believe me, I'll wake him up. "

Luffy also thought this kind of thing was quite interesting, so he decided to let these people see it for a long time.

After all, it's a rare opportunity, and it would be nice to take a photo.

Everyone in the restaurant looked at Luffy who was slowly approaching with some nervousness, and they still didn't believe that the man who suddenly didn't move while eating was asleep.

It was the restaurant owner, who looked at Luffy expectantly.

If the person really just fell asleep, then not only will the restaurant not be affected, but there will be an additional place for guests to talk about before and after tea.

Ignoring the nervousness of the onlookers and the boss, Luffy walked towards Ace step by step.

Looking at Luffy, who was getting closer and closer to the man, the onlookers couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, as if waiting for some kind of exciting moment.

Under the nervous gaze of the guests, Luffy leaned his head into Ace's ear.

"Ahh

“......"

Hearing Luffy's voice, the guests still didn't understand what Luffy meant.

I saw that Ace, who was originally motionless, suddenly jumped off the stool, and his eyes opened suddenly.

The spoon in his hand was quickly placed in front of his chest, making a parry appearance.

"Where's the stinky old man?"

"Alas~"

Looking at Ace, who suddenly came to life, the surrounding guests exclaimed in surprise, they were really asleep!

"You haven't changed at all, Ace. "

Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Luffy also felt a little emotional, at that time, himself, Ace, and Sabo were not beaten by Karp.

"Luffy, it's really you!"

Ace, who came to his senses, finally saw clearly the person who woke him up in front of him.

Then, excited, he hugged Luffy's shoulder.

"I was still wondering if you would choose this route after entering the Great Route, but I didn't expect to see you here!"

Luffy also hugged Ace back, signaling that he hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Let's finish the meal first, we'll talk later, and besides, your habit of falling asleep suddenly has scared the boss here!"

Luffy patted Ace on the shoulder and pointed at the guests and bosses around him who were still in a stunned state.

"I'm sorry to cause you any trouble. "

Ace, who was reminded by Luffy, looked around, and then bowed to the guests and the boss.

"You...... It's good that you're okay, but I didn't expect you to really just fall asleep. "

The boss who came to his senses looked at Ace who bowed, and hurriedly waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

The guests on the side also came to their senses, and their mouths let out exclamations from time to time, and then they returned to their seats.

"Boss, settle the bill!"

Seeing Luffy here, Ace has no idea of continuing to eat.

And with Luffy by his side, Ace is not good at eating overlord meals, although he has no money, he still has the courage to settle the bill with the boss.

"Ah, forget it, forget the money, even if I invite the guest for this meal, fortunately the guest is fine, otherwise the shop doesn't know what will happen!"

Hearing that Ace was going to settle the bill, the restaurant owner waved his hand again and again, and it was great that Ace didn't have an accident in his restaurant.

I just hope that I won't meet such guests in the future, otherwise my heart can't stand such stimulation.

"That's embarrassing!"

Hearing the boss say that he was invited to this meal, Ace breathed a sigh of relief, but still bowed to the boss to express his gratitude.

Otherwise, he might have to embarrass himself in front of Luffy.

Looking at Ace's relieved appearance, Luffy naturally knew why, but he didn't comment too much.

Although the two have a good relationship, they each have their own paths, and they can't tell him what he is doing, unless Ace joins him.

Otherwise, he doesn't have this qualification, although it doesn't fit Luffy's style of acting, but after all, people are close and close, Luffy can't beat Ace because of this, right?
