Chapter 259 Brother's Legend
After listening to Ace's account of Teach's rebellion, Jerry fell into a brief silence.
He couldn't help but think to himself that the hairy Teach had successfully taken the Dark-Dark Fruit. Even Ace, who was even more powerful than the original track, couldn't take it down on the spot.
Of course, Jerry reminded Ace that it wasn't that he was afraid of the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit.
He just hoped that Ace would avoid blaming himself too much for this incident and falling into an impulsive and reckless state.
At present, although Ace still chooses to go alone to pursue Teach, the situation is obviously different.
One is the difference in Ace's strength. He is no longer the young man who only has a rudimentary knowledge of the Conqueror's Haki and is extremely dependent on the ability of the fruit. Instead, he has grown into a more comprehensive and powerful strong man.
Second, in addition to the Whitebeard Pirates, Ace also has Jerry and his gang of trustworthy but less restrictive companions.
The third and most important thing is that Thatch did not die in the sneak attack.
Although Ace was angry, it was mostly out of anger at his companions being hurt, and self-blame for the crimes committed by his subordinates.
"In short, don't be careless. If you have any clues, please inform us first. Teach is not a simple person at all."
Jerry looked solemn, and warned Ace earnestly through the Den Den Mushi.
"Teacher has been hiding for so many years, and finally revealed his true identity for that fruit. Obviously, the Dark-Dark Fruit cannot be underestimated."
"Plus, given Teach's treacherous and cunning personality, I bet he will never confront you head-on without being fully confident."
"And people like him would never choose to fight alone if they can in a group."
After saying so much, Jerry just wanted to get Ace's attention and prevent history from repeating itself.
Even though Ace is stronger now, he still cannot guarantee victory when facing an opponent like Teach and the Dark-Dark Fruit's ability to restrain other fruits.
What's more, Teach will look for companions to act together, further increasing the difficulty of Ace's challenge.
"Yeah, I know. I won't underestimate him. If you have any clues, please let me know, especially the information about Scarl." Ace nodded and grinned.
Then, Den Den Mushi imitated Ace's expression as if he had just woken up from a dream, and said with joy: "By the way, my brother, Luffy should have gone out to sea not long ago!"
Hearing this, Jerry scratched his head and suddenly remembered something.
Some time ago, when they landed on a small island and entered the restaurant at the port, they met a young man with short green hair, a bib, and three long swords on his waist.
It was noon one day, and everyone was about to step into the restaurant when the green-haired man happened to walk out of the restaurant and the two sides bumped into each other.
Jerry was stunned at the time, with confusion in his eyes, and looked carefully at the green-haired man in front of him.
He finally confirmed that this was indeed the Liu Suolong who would become famous in the future.
Zoro naturally noticed Jerry's gaze on him, and he immediately said, "Why? Want to ask for directions?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Jerry was speechless and could only shake his head helplessly.
Then, Zoro nodded and said calmly: "If you don't want to ask for directions, please don't block my way. I still need to go to Orange Town."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zoro quickly walked out of the passage made clear by Deuce and others, walked quickly to the small boat not far away, set sail without hesitation, and headed east.
"Eh!? You're going the wrong way! That's not the direction of Orange Town..."
Witnessing this scene, Deus, who had not yet entered the door, subconsciously reminded loudly, but Zoro seemed not to hear it and rushed straight in the direction he had determined.
Thinking of this, Jerry gently stroked his chin and muttered absentmindedly: "So, at that time, Lao Liu ended up running to Shields Town by mistake..."
"Jerry, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly!" Ace's voice came from the mouth of the Den Den Mushi, interrupting Jerry's daydreaming.
He quickly came to his senses and responded hurriedly: "Oh! Nothing to say, your brother is going out to sea, so let him go out to sea, why are you so excited?"
"Haha! Of course I'm happy. Let me tell you, my brother..." Then, Ace went on and on about a lot of past events about his brother that everyone had heard.
Carrot and Bonnie looked at Jerry holding the Den Den Mushi with a look of despair and couldn't help but snickering.
For little Bonnie, this was still fresh information, but for Jerry and Deuce, it was an old story that they had heard so many times that their ears were callused.
Skarr and the others had also heard about it, but not as much as Jerry and the others.
However, as Ace continued to narrate, Bonnie suddenly froze and whispered to himself, "Rubber?"
This reminded her of Nika, the liberation fighter that her father Daxiong admired the most and liked to mention the most, who also possessed the properties of rubber.
Little Bonnie paid close attention to it, thinking that he would ask Ace in person when he had the chance in the future.
However, when little Bonnie heard what Ace said, that his younger brother had never won a fight with him and was always the defeated one, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly, suspecting that this might not be Nika.
After Ace finished his long speech, Jerry interrupted and said, "Ace, where are you chasing now?"
"Ah... He's still in the New World. I just got some clues and heard about you from other people, so I contacted you first. I guess he should return to Paradise." Ace said while picking his nose.
Jerry nodded slightly and said seriously, "Well, it just so happens that we have already decided that we will return directly to the Grand Line next. We can keep in touch then."
"If he escapes back to paradise, we can randomly choose a route, or even turn around halfway, to help keep an eye on him or chase him down." Deuce said after thinking for a moment.
"Okay, I'll continue on my way."
After saying that, Ace said goodbye to everyone and hung up the call.
Everyone looked at each other, and then turned their eyes to Jerry and Deuce.
"Keep calm, we will move on, just be more careful in the days to come." Jerry waved his hand, telling everyone not to be too serious.
Then, he turned to look at Little Bonnie: "Aren't we also looking for Big Bear? Most of the previous news about him appearing was on the Grand Line. Maybe you will meet him soon."
Hearing this, little Bonnie's eyes sparkled like stars, and he said excitedly: "Great! Let's get going quickly!"
Everyone looked at her with a smile and responded, "Let's go!"
Under the urgent urging of little Bonnie, everyone didn't even stay for too long except for the necessary supplies.
Jerry controlled the ocean current and sailed directly in the open sea, passing through Rogue Town smoothly and arriving at Upside Down Mountain without any problems.
"Yo-ho-ho, Lab! I'm back again!"
On this day, they once again sailed downstream from the Upside-Down Mountain Channel. Before anyone else spoke, Brooke was the first to cheer.
"Booooooooooooo!" The one who responded to him was the island whale Labu who had been looking forward to it for a long time.
Jerry had previously asked whether to send Lab back to his hometown, the West Sea, to live, and he was fully capable of doing so.
But this question was directly rejected by Raab without hesitation.
It has lived in Twin Capes for many years and has developed a deep emotional bond with Kulokas, so it has no intention of leaving.
At night, the party became lively as expected, and Brook even presented to everyone all the songs he had composed during his travels around the world.
Accompanied by a bleak song by Brooke, Jerry looked at the boundless sea in front of him and said with emotion: "Although I have not been in this world for a long time, the world has already had the legend of me."
"Puff!" Deus and others couldn't help but spit out the drinks in their mouths.
After the Kuroko Pirates had a brief but joyful stay at Gemini Cape for one day and two nights, they said goodbye to Lab and Crocus and set out on their journey again.
