Ah Wu walked Xena to the door before he lifted the mental control that he attached to the girl. Then he looked at the girl's blank eyes and reminded her without changing his expression, "Xena, don't you have to go in and help your parents?"

The little girl still looked very confused, but Ah Wu's suggestion seemed to be quite reasonable, so she went in obediently.

Mr. Rokudo looked at her back that hesitated for a moment before she turned and walked away, and sighed slightly. To be honest, if it wasn't for the sake of solving the incident, he didn't want to use his power on a child. But then again, since he suspected and even confirmed that Linlin was the murderer (Skeleton: kufufuku ~ after all, he didn't see any other names), in fact, it might be faster to directly attack Linlin. However, that girl also seemed to be a metahuman, and he didn't know if there was anything special about them. If they were immune to his ability, then it would be terrible, and he would alert the enemy instead.

It was better to try it on Ace first. Thinking of this, Skeleton was quite tempted.

Rita's accident happened at night, so there shouldn't be any movement during the day. Skeleton thought about it, relaxed, and began to wander around.

After walking around the town for a while, she wanted to buy snacks but didn't have the money. She wanted to use illusion but didn't have the nerve to. She also didn't know where Ace was (Ace: Don't look at me, I don't spend money). Skeleton stopped wandering around and went straight to the forest on the edge of the town.

Sure enough, in the depths of the forest, an energetic young man disguised as a woodworker was skillfully cutting wood. He was sitting on a big tree, and next to him was a big tree that had fallen.

Doing things by oneself and having enough food and clothing, what a good habit!

But cutting down two trees for a few pieces of wood was too wasteful.

Ah Wu leisurely complained in his heart, completely forgetting that he had done something worse.

There was also a forest near Skeleton and Kyouya's base. Every time the young couple had nothing to do in the forest to communicate, there would be trees falling down one after another, and they died very undignified. They were scattered all over the place, and their corpses were mutilated. They didn't have any value at all. They could neither be used as a seat nor as wood. They could only be scattered under the storm-like attacks of Mist Guard and Cloud Guardian.

Destroying the forest for no reason, and you still have the nerve to say that others are wasteful?

When Ace saw Skeleton, he didn't ask why he was looking for Linlin, and only grinned.

Ah Gu returned the other party a brilliant smile and didn't say anything. He silently sat down beside a tree and adjusted his posture to make himself as comfortable as possible. Then, he closed his eyes and listened to the humming of the wind in the forest, the chirping of birds, and something else.

… sounds.

When he heard that Ace was almost done with his work, Ah Wu opened his eyes and begged him, "Ace, help me make a big wooden barrel ~" While saying, he gestured with his hands. Although it was a request, his tone was full of righteousness.

"Huh?

Why do you want me to do it? Do it yourself! "Ace muttered unhappily, but he still got busy again.

Seeing this, Skeleton laughed happily and proudly.

What kind of joke is this?

I, Rokudo, when will I do it myself?

Thinking back to when he was still living in the Darklight Paradise, he often changed the layout of their base camp on a whim. Of course, he never had to do it himself. Skeleton was always under everyone's disdainful eyes, lying on the sofa with a clear conscience, and watching everyone work without any pressure.

Later on, when he lived with Little Sparrow, it was not easy to mess around anymore. However, Skeleton was still a hands-off boss, and most of the housework was done by Strawberry Wall. Little Sparrow, this secretary, may seem unconventional, but he did things flawlessly. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

Oh right, I have to emphasize that I'm not lazy, I just don't want to do these things.

(Kyouya: You don't want to do it?

Skeleton: No!

I want to do it!)

It was just a wooden barrel, and Ace finished it in a few seconds. He put it beside Skeleton, then turned and walked deeper into the forest.

After a while, he came back with a wild boar.

What？

What kind of thing did he bring back?

Ah Wu stared at Ace with his eyes wide open, only to see him skillfully skin the wild boar and cut open its stomach. Then, with a flash of fire in his hands, he began to roast the suckling pig. His hands kept busy, and he didn't forget to call out to Ah Wu, "After working for half a day, I'm really hungry!

Hey, are you hungry?

Come and eat with me. "

… …

Ah Wu stared at him for a few seconds, but he still walked over.

Taking the pork that Ace casually skewered on a wooden stick, Ah Wu was very conflicted. The thing in front of him was fragrant and hot, and the person who handed him the meat was very experienced in this aspect. He even brought seasonings with him, so he didn't have to worry about the taste of the wild roasted pig. But …

It was too depraved!

Now, even if it was afternoon tea time, it wouldn't hurt to have some snacks, but to eat meat so quickly, it seemed a bit too much.

Although Skeleton had just become an adult, he had passed the period of growth. If he ate too much meat, he was really worried that he would become fat!

Thinking of this, Ah Wu was startled. Since when did he start to think about such an extravagant problem?

From childhood to about fifteen years old, he spent most of his time wandering around. The feeling of being hungry and full was even engraved into his bones. At that time, Skeleton had never thought that one day, he would be like the most ordinary and boring human beings, thinking about such a leisurely thing like becoming fat.

Of course, he would never admit it, and often stubbornly said that he wanted to seize Penglie's body and destroy the Mafia. But Skeleton knew clearly in his heart, since he met with Penglie?

Starting from Gōtian Tsunayoshi and the other guys who made him gnash his teeth in anger, everything was not the same. It was like scattered light rushed into his world, forcibly dispersing the original darkness. And Kyouya Hidaka was undoubtedly the most dazzling and even dazzling one.

When he was young, he couldn't understand why it was him.

He had been used for human experiments, had been implanted with the Eye of Reincarnation, and had been constantly killing people before fleeing. It was as if all the misery and misfortune in this world had been shouldered by him alone. But now, the one who had been spoiled, who could do whatever he wanted, who had been indulged by everyone, was him.

In this life, he was really too lucky.

When he went back, he must ask the little sparrow if she felt that he had become fat!

Ah Wu solemnly noted this in his heart, and then took a big bite of the delicious and juicy meat in front of him.

"By the way, Ace, you are a person who drifted on the sea, how can you be so proficient in hunting and roasting meat?"

Since he wanted to eat but couldn't eat more, then he should talk more. Even food couldn't stop Lord Skeleton's mouth, and he started to blabber again.

"What's so strange about this?" Ace smiled proudly, "I have been able to do it since I was young."

"Since you were young?" Skeleton pondered over this word.

"Yes!

When we were young, Da Dan gave us very little food, so we had to find a way to solve the problem of our stomachs.

At first, it was a little difficult, but later on, we could easily fill our stomachs!

At that time, the three of us … were really happy! "

Ace said frankly, recalling the past, his eyes deepened, although he was still smiling, there was a hint of sadness.

Skeleton had always been good at seeing other people's thoughts and emotions. At this time, when he saw Ace like this, he immediately knew in his heart that he was thinking of his loved ones or friends who had left (and most likely passed away).

As considerate as Skeleton, he naturally knew that he had to change the topic.

So Skeleton asked again, "By the way, this time you left your pirate group and acted alone, can I ask what you are going to do?"

"Oh, this!"

Ace smiled, but his expression became serious (Skeleton: Not good, I asked the wrong question again), his tone was very cold, "There was a guy on our ship called Blackbeard, he killed his companions and ran away, this time I came out to hunt him down."

"He violated the iron law of our ship that forbids killing our companions, no matter what, I will not spare him!"

Ace's hard and cold voice sounded in his ears, Skeleton was shocked, he really did not think that this carefree and cheerful young man was actually acting because of this matter.

When he was a child, he was used as a human experiment by his family, since then, Skeleton hated the whole family to the bone, and even this hatred spread to all the mafia.

Although Skeleton did not feel that those culprits were his companions, he could also understand the feeling of being betrayed by his companions.

Looking at the dignified face of Ace, Skeleton's heart suddenly gave birth to a little bit of joy, fortunately, the guys around me, even if it is?

Gōtian Tsunayoshi, he will not betray me.

This round could be said to be a complete victory for him. Even the insignificant results from the previous rounds could be erased.

But Skeleton was not happy at all, as if he was infected by Ace's pain, he also felt upset in his heart.

Cheer up, Rokudo, what are you upset about, little brother!

Ah Wu cheered up, he suddenly remembered that Ace still had a little brother, he softened his voice, carefully probing, "Your brother's relationship with you seems to be very good, and you look very similar, no wonder you are biological brothers."

"Hahaha!

You mean Luffy? "

Mentioning his brother, Ace swept away the haze on his face, and laughed loudly, the hearty laughter made Skeleton's heart a lot more relaxed.

"That guy is not my biological brother!" Ace said, and racked his brain to think, "Well, how should I tell you?

Luffy and I are sworn brothers, at that time we were brought to Da Dan by that stinky old man, and then we got to know each other. "

"Oh, I see." Skeleton nodded, showing that he understood.

In fact, he did not understand at all, who is Da Dan?

Who is that stinky old man?

Forget it, let's not ask.

"Actually, when we first met Luffy, we were quite annoyed with this guy, but later," Ace smiled and talked about the past, "I felt that this brother is quite good!

Haha, after all, he is my brother!

But that guy is too good at causing trouble, he always makes me, as his brother, very worried! "

Although that was what he said, but looking at Ace's happy face, Ah Wu only wanted to write the word "brother complex" on his face.
