Time flies, a full week has passed since Shanks arrived at Gaya Island and collided with Gawain.

During this period, the return of Sky Island Golden City and the collision between Gawain and Shanks have become the hottest news in the world!

Near Trillance Island below the Upside Down Mountain, the members of the Spade Pirates also welcomed the arrival of the News Bird.

After taking out the latest newspaper, Deus, who was wearing a blue blindfold mask, threw the newspaper to Ace, who was lying on the bow of the boat basking in the sun.

"Ace, look at the latest newspaper, there are really big things going on in the sea recently!

The red-haired Yonko who has just been a Yonko for a year actually clashed with the Black Bird one like the old Yonko Whitebeard!"

While speaking, looking at Ace who was motionless, Deus curled his lips helplessly.

"Hey, is it really okay to sleep like this all day long? You are the captain, shouldn't the captain be very busy?"

Snapped!

While talking, Deus pressed the spread newspaper onto Ace's sleeping face!

Ace's face was suddenly attacked, and two balls of fire burst out of Ace's face. Fortunately, he woke up in time and rescued the remaining newspapers before the flames burned away the newspaper.

Taking the newspaper with burn marks and looking at it twice, Ace pointed to the eye-catching photo on the newspaper with interest.

In the photo, Gawain is seen holding a girl in his left hand, and holding Lu Minghu Tetsu in his right hand, constantly confronting Shanks' Griffin!

Of course, in fact, Gawain was knocked away in just an instant, and the confrontation only lasted a moment.

But taking pictures is so magical. Under the control of the reporter, the picture stopped exactly at the moment when Gawain's knife collided with Griffin!

So, in the eyes of uninformed onlookers like Ace...

I saw Ace let out a loud exclamation!

"Oh, he is so strong. Two of the four strongest pirate emperors on the sea are already going to challenge him!

Moreover, the newspaper has never published any news of this person's failure!

So, haha...!

This guy must be the real number one in the world!"

Having said this, Ace excitedly slapped the newspaper on the deck.

"Guys, I have decided that the next step is to find this man who fought with white beard and red hair respectively!

As long as I defeat him, my strength will definitely be recognized by the entire sea. In that case, I will definitely get closer to the Pirate King!

One Piece, I’m determined!

!”

"Why?!

Aaaaaaaay, Ace!

?”

Hearing Ace's words, Deus was stunned on the spot, and he rubbed his head depressedly.

"I'm afraid you are taking it for granted. We and the person in the newspaper don't seem to be on the same route, right?

Moreover, this guy is a Celestial Dragon. You don’t know the meaning of a Celestial Dragon, right?

Those are the nobles of the world, the group of people who should not be offended the most!"

"cut!"

After hearing what Deus said, Ace waved his hand casually.

"What can't be messed with? Didn't the red hair and white beard both fight him?

One of them is the Four Pirate Emperors, and the other is the strongest man in history!

In this case, of course I want to have a good fight with this guy named Gawain!

If we want to become the Pirate King, we must be recognized by the entire sea. What can be faster than letting them recognize my strength!

So, let’s turn from now on, we are going to Gaya Island to follow this guy’s footsteps, and then defeat him in front of the whole world!

!”

After finishing his words, Ace rubbed his hat.

"How about it, are my words very powerful, haha.

Anyway, it’s decided, let’s head to Gaya Island!

It just so happens that I also want to meet the savior who is always talked about by my brother!

Red-haired Shanks, white-bearded Newgate, and the black bird Gawain who fought against them respectively and never lost!

They will all be defeated by me!

!”

"But……."

On the side, Deus shook his head helplessly.

"But when we left Upside Down Mountain, we took the route to Trillans Island. If we want to go to Gaya Island, then... let me see."

Having said this, Deus turned out the navigation route introduction given to them by the old doctor named Crow Carter on the Twin Capes.

"The old man from Twin Capes claims that he has visited many islands. According to the route map he left behind, our current route does not pass through the ocean currents of Gaya Island at all!

If we want to go to Gaya Island, we have to go back to Upside Down Mountain and then take the Whiskey Peak route again, which is really troublesome!”

"Haha, trouble is not a problem at all. After all, there are black bird Gawain, red-haired Shanks, and white-bearded Newgate on that route!

So, let’s start returning now. No matter what, I want to see the red-haired one!

In order to see him, I have rehearsed how to say hello countless times over the years!"

Having said this, Ace pressed his hat and looked towards the sky in the distance.

The experience he had in Windmill Village as a child came to his mind.

At that time, when Maginot, the owner of the Windmill Tavern, was teaching him and Luffy etiquette, he specifically asked Maginot for advice on how to greet the redhead!

Now that I have gone to sea, I can use all the things I learned back then!

At the same time, Ace also remembered something special.

Apart from the red-haired man who saved Luffy, he also had to meet a more important person.

That is... his father's vice-captain back then, Pluto Rayleigh!

He wanted to have a good chat with his father's former deputy captain in person. Firstly, he wanted to talk about what kind of guy his father was.

As for the second one….

He wants to talk about why Rayleigh boarded someone else's ship!

!

While Ace was meditating, Deus on the side opened his eyes and looked towards the sea behind him.

"Hey, Ace, there's a Navy ship approaching!

It looks like it belongs to that fierce woman!

Isn’t she the second lieutenant of the East China Sea? Why did she follow the Grand Line?

Ah, this person is simply haunting!

!”

As he spoke, Ace's ship quickly turned around and then rushed towards the navy ship.

Looking at the oncoming ship, Ace jumped up, and then suddenly released a huge fireball tens of meters in size.

"Flame acceleration mode, start!"

Ace let out a loud roar, and then, relying on the flames gathered at the stern, his ship quickly sailed past the navy ship!

At the same time, on the bow of the naval ship, a beautiful female marine with orange-red hair cursed angrily at the Spade Pirates who passed by.

"Damn it, after having the Shao Shao Fruit, that guy can escape even faster!"

After chanting, the female marine raised her sword and shouted at Ace.

"Fire Fist, don't run away if you can, come here and hit me, you bastard!"

"Haha, how is that possible? I just fall asleep often, I'm not really stupid!

In short, I want to change to the route of Whiskey Peak to have a good fight with Gawain the black bird!

Goodbye, Yinska, haha!

!”

Amidst the laughter, Ace's boat disappeared as soon as the smoke disappeared, leaving only Yinska herself standing on her boat with an angry face!

Beside her, the sailors she was in charge of came closer.

"Second Lieutenant Yinska, that Fire Fist Ace seems to have told us their next target.
