NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 112: CH 112
"This is Alvida! She ate the Smooth-Smooth Fruit and likes to hit people with her Iron Mace!
"Smooth-Smooth?" Ace asked.
"Watch." she said from her seat on the railing. "Sanji, would you be a dear and help me up?" she asked as she held out her hand.
"Of course Alvida-chwan~!" Sanji said as he spun around towards her and took her hand. He tried to help her to her feet, only for his hand to slip before he fell face first onto the deck.
"Oops!" Alvida said as the others all laughed. "Sorry Sanji." Alvida cooed.
"Ah Alvida!" Sanji said as blood dripped from his injured nose. "You're so beautiful when you're toying with people!"
"I see what you mean." Ace said as Luffy went on.
"This is Vivi! She's the Princess of Alabasta! And that's her duck Carue!"
"A Princess?" Ace asked in shock. "What's a Princess doing on a pirate ship?" "It's a long story." she said before holding her hand out. "It's nice to meet you Ace."
"It's nice to meet you too." Ace said as they shook hands as Carue happily quacked while Luffy stood next to Valerie.
"This is Valerie. She's a chocolatier!"
"Nice to meet you." she said as they shook hands.
"Nice to meet you too. A chocolatier huh?" Ace said. She nodded before Ace lifted her off the ground with one hand. "Wow you're light!" Ace said.
"I ate the Kilo-Kilo Fruit!" she said as she did a one-handed hand stand on his hand. "I can change my weight from 1 to 10,000 kilos." she said before increasing her weight and falling into Ace's arms bridal style.
"OOF!" Ace grunted as he struggled to keep them both from falling. "Okay, I get it!" he groaned.
"Kyahahaha!" she laughed before jumping out of his arms.
"This is Gin! He always looks like he needs sleep and is a strong fighter!" "Nice to meet you." he said with a small smile.
"Same here." Ace said as they shook hands.
"This is Grace! She want to be a World Famous Artist!" Luffy said. "She can also make you laugh, cry, or drink tea with her paint."
"An artist huh?" Ace asked as he bent down to her eye level. "Laugh, cry, or drink tea?" Grace only smile before she took her palette and brush before slapping a yellow, blue, and green mark on Usopp, Gin, and Luffy. "Colors Trap: Laughing Yellow, Sadness Blue, and Soothing Green!"
"BAHAHAHAHAHA!" Gin laughed as he fell to the ground and began to laugh hysterically. They all looked at him, thinking it looked a little off to see a serious man like Gin laugh like that. "G-get this p-paint off me!" he said through his laughing. "Grace! You'll p-pay for this!"
"WAAAAAAAAH!" Usopp balled as tears sprand from his eyes. "Why would you do this Grace?!" Usopp said as he sniffled before sobbing again. "I beg you! Let me be happy! WAAAAAH!"
"Calm down Usopp." Luffy said as he sat down with a calm look on his face as he drank some tea. "Ah, this tea is good." he said. Ace looked ready to fall over at their reactions.
"Holy crap! You weren't kidding Luffy!" he said as he looked over at Greg. "And you are?"
"The name's Greg." Greg said as he held out his hand. "I'm a bomb man that ate the Bomb-Bomb Fruit. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too." Ace said as they shook hands. "Bomb-Bomb Fruit huh?"
"Every part of his body can explode." Valerie said.
"Speaking of which, Valerie said you tainted that Rum somehow back at Little Garden." Usopp said. "How exactly did that happen?"
"Simple. No one was around for a few moments, so I had a bit of privacy to 'relieve' myself." he said with a smirk.
"THAT IS DOWN RIGHT NASTY!" all the women and some of them men yelled.
"Well Ace?" Luffy asked calmly as he drunk his tea. "What do you think of my crew?" "They're definitely one-of-a-kind." Ace said before looking at Luffy. "How do I break that paint hynosis?"
"You just have to erase the mark or remove his vest." Grace said. Ace smirked at that.
"Easy enough." Ace said before throwing a tiny fireball on the back of Luffy's vest. The paint got ruined before Luffy jumped to his feet and danced around.
"AHHHH! ACE, YOU BASTARD! I'M ON FIRE! PUT IT OUT!" he yelled before he just ripped it off and threw it overboard. After the vest hit the water, Luffy looked back at Ace before yelling. "YOU TRYING TO BARBEQUE ME?!" Luffy yelled. He panted as he noticed that they were all staring at his chest. "What?"
"What do you mean 'What?!' Luffy! How'd you get that scar?!" Ace yelled. Luffy looked down to see his jagged X scar before looking at them all. "I've seen you ripped open by bears Luffy and you healed from that perfectly fine! So what gave you a scar like that?!" Ace said, feeling very troubled at the thought of someone or something hurting his brother to the point of leaving a scar like that. Luffy just stared at him before he did what he usually would do. He began to sweat, averted his eyes, and pulled his lips to the side.
"I...I don't know." he mumbled before whistling. Everyone but Zoro fell over at that before jumping to their feet.
"DO YOU THINK WE'RE THAT DUMB?!" they all demanded.
"I won't ask again Luffy! Who gave you that scar?!" Ace yelled. "I...I can't say. It'll make me break my promise!" Luffy said. Ace just glared at Luffy before sighing in defeat.
"Fine. But if I ever meet the guy who did this to you, I'm gonna teach him not to mess with my little brother!" Ace said.
"Got it!" Luffy said. "Alright everyone! On to Erumalu!"
"AYE!" they all yelled.
