One Piece: Rise of an Empire

"What! You also know Luffy?"

The meat in Ace's mouth was spurted out by his loud words.

Xiner said unhurriedly: "Can't you? When I was traveling with my father, I was attacked by the navy halfway, so I had to go to the East China Sea with Uncle Shanks. At that time, I met Luffy. We became friends because we were the same age. Luffy is a very interesting person. He called me sister at the time."

Xiner remembered that Luffy said to Shanks and the others that when he wanted to defeat them and become One Piece, even she was infected.

Before Ace could speak, the crew of the Spades Pirates exclaimed, "Shanks, one of the Five Emperors, is your uncle!"

"Are you the niece of the Five Emperors?"

Ace continued to eat the meat and didn't speak, as if he wasn't interested in identity.

"No, my dad and Shanks are friends, so I call him uncle, is it okay?"

The Spades Pirates breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, but then they became nervous again and shouted, "Your father and the Five Emperors are friends?"

At this time, Deus seemed to know something. He covered his head and shouted, "Your name is Elyon Xiner, and you have the same surname as Sea Emperor Elyondes. Who is he to you?"

Xin'er didn't care. In fact, she hated asking about her identity, so she continued, "Eleondes is my father."

The crew of the Spades Pirates seemed to have discovered something extraordinary, and they all covered their heads and writhed.

Seeing everyone, Ace stopped talking, and said, "Xin'er, do you want to be my deputy captain?"

"Hey, Captain, she is the daughter of the sea emperor, if she joins our pirate group, we won't be targeted!" Said a crew member.

And Ace didn't seem to hear him, and continued to say to Xin'er: "I feel that you don't like your own identity very much, what are you thinking about, join me, and we will surpass them together."

Xin'er thought that Ace would behave like the crew of the Spades Pirates when he heard her identity, but she didn't expect that he was different from those people and surpassed them. Xin'er liked it very much.

"No, I don't hate my identity. My parents treat me very well. I just hate how my father treats me like a child. I have grown up. I am very moved by the words of surpassing them, so I decided to join you." Xin Er said with a smile.

The moment Xin'er was almost buried in the sea, the first thing she thought of was her parents. Except for the fact that Des took her too much as a child, Dess was indeed a perfect father in other respects.

But what Xin'er doesn't know is that the thing she hates the most is what Ace wants the most.

"You're really rebellious." Ace said after taking a sip of his wine.

At this time, Ace looked at the sky, if his father was the same as Xin'er's parents, he would wake up with a smile on his face.

"Captain, there is the flag of Red-haired Shanks on the island ahead!" Said a crew member of the pirate group.

"Shank... Shanks"

Hearing the news of the Five Emperors, and it was still Shanks, Ace walked forward excitedly.

At this time, he saw that there was a mountain on the island, and the mountain was covered with ice and snow, and there were other pirate ships parked around, which should be challengers.

"Let's go up too." Ace said to everyone.

At this time, the crew of the Spades Pirates said: "Captain, is it too early for us to face the Five Emperors now?"

Xiner is also a little excited, after all Shanks is as famous as her father, won't defeating him mean defeating her father?

At this time Ace said: "What? Do I look so weak?"

The Spades Pirates are unmoved. The fear of the Five Emperors has been known to them since they were young, and it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although they know that Ace is strong, they still think the Five Emperors are terrible.

Ace suddenly laughed and said, "Ann, I'm not going to fight Shanks. After all, our target is Whitebeard, but Shanks once took care of my younger brother, so let's thank them."

Everyone in the Spades Pirates breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, but then they felt that the person they were going to meet was the Five Emperors. Although they were not going to challenge, they heard that the Five Emperors were in uncertain moods and would kill them.

While the Spades Pirates were still remembering in their own world, Xiner and Ace had already disembarked and walked towards the mountain.

"Wait for us." The Spades Pirates also followed.

"Deuss...what do I look like in your eyes? Do I look weak? Our goal is the apex. How can it be reasonable if we can't beat the Four Emperors? How about it? Do you think I will surpass him? Surpass the One Piece?" At this time, he walked and said to Deuss beside him.

Ace's words infected everyone, and they decided to follow Ace to the death.

Xin'er looked at the scene in front of her and muttered to herself, "Is this the pirate captain?"

The fear in my heart decreased, and my pace also quickened. After all, they were just going to say hello, not really fighting.

But everyone thought again, what would the legendary emperor of the sea look like?

He looked at Xin'er next to Ace. After all, he was Uncle Xin'er, so he probably wouldn't kill them.

Finally, they came to the top of the mountain against the wind and snow. Xin'er looked forward. The battle here should have been over for a long time. The corpses were covered in snow and ice, and many swords were still stuck on the ground.

Shanks was sitting on a rock, surrounded by the cadres of the Red Hair Pirates. At this moment, Shanks suddenly raised his head and looked at them. An invisible pressure permeated the surroundings. The bodies of the Spades Pirates, whose fear had been mostly eliminated, were already trembling.

Is this the legendary sea emperor?The invisible pressure has already made people restless. It seems that the king is quietly waiting for his challengers. If they really come to challenge Shanks, they may have lost the desire to challenge when they saw him.

This is also the first time Xiner has seen Shanks like this, of course she also felt the pressure.

"It turns out that this is the weight of the emperor of the sea."

Shanks was sitting on the stone, they had just experienced a battle and they really had a little rest, and planned to have a banquet here by the way, but then they felt the arrival of a group of people, thinking that there was another group of new challengers.

The title of emperor of the sea is not obtained out of thin air, but by their strength. They are never afraid of challenges.

For a pirate who wants to take this title, just let him come.

At this time, the middle-aged man next to Shanks, who was smoking a cigarette, said, "Boss, that girl seems to be Xin'er."

The Shanks Pirates are very familiar with Xiner. After all, the Red-haired Pirates go to Daxia at least once or twice a year to replenish their electricity, and occasionally stay for a long time.

Xin'er and Tianyi, the two little fellows, had already become friends with them.After all, at their age, no one doesn't like children, especially most of them are single.

"Hey, it's really Xin'er. She still ran out? It looks like she joined someone else's pirate group. That guy Des must have died of anger in Daxia, hahahaha"

Beckman was ashamed, Xiner went to sea, Shanks must have credit, but he knew that their captain not only liked to tell stories to children, but also persuaded Des to let the children go their own way.

But Xiner joined other people's pirates and they also had some accidents. It is also a skill to subdue the fearless princess who is doted on by the whole country. Shanks really wants to meet this captain.

"Hi, Shanks, I'm here to say hello and thank you."

Ace came to Shanks and bowed deeply.

Xin'er also said hello: "Long time no see, Uncle Shanks, Uncle Beckman, Uncle Lagilu."

"Hey, there's me, Xin'er, you may be my future daughter-in-law, why don't you call me uncle!" Jesus said.

Xin'er was ashamed, but she was actually very afraid of Jesus Bu, because this guy often drank, and would tell her about his son after drinking, and more importantly, he would tell him to let his son be Da Xia's consort, if his son was disobedient, Jesus Bu would break his son's legs himself, and let her train her as she wanted.

"How could I forget you, Uncle Jesus Bu."

Everyone is not surprised by this, everyone nodded to Xiner, while Shanks was still looking at Ace.

"Oh? Say hello to me?"

"Yes, you are one of my brother's benefactors. I am Luffy's brother, so I came here to thank you." Ace quickly explained.

After many years, Shanks heard Luffy's name again, the majesty on his face had disappeared, and he changed his expression and said, "You are Luffy's brother, you should have said it earlier, come, come, we are preparing for a banquet."

At night, Ace chatted with Shanks about his and Luffy's childhood adventures, and Xiner listened beside him.

After Ace finished speaking, Shanks asked Xin Er: "How did you escape? Does your father know? How did you join the Spades Pirates?"

"Hey, Uncle Shanks, don't tell my father where I'm going. As for how I joined the Spades Pirates, I ate their food, and after a fight, I thought Ace had the same goal as me. Although I won, I couldn't sail, so I joined them."

At this moment, Ace smiled and said, "Hey, you obviously lost!"

Shanks looked at the two people in front of him and laughed too. Xin'er probably didn't win. Although Xin'er is 14 years old, she is really good in terms of strength. When she grows up, she will definitely reach their level.

Shanks looked at Ace and said, "What is your goal?"

"Whitebeard is the strongest, I want to surpass One Piece."

Shanks smiled and didn't speak. Although Ace was able to defeat Xiner and Xiner could reach their height, that was after Xiner grew up.

At this moment, Deus walked by with the food, and Shanks said to him, "Thank you, Masked Staff."

Deus turned his head, and Shanks continued: "Going to the king for no reason, aimless journey, always accelerated by anxiety, such a blind collision, maybe there is only destruction waiting for Ace."

Deus was very surprised that Shanks could directly see their problem.But Ace didn't respond.

At this moment, Shanks turned his head and asked, "Ace, I have a question. Since you and Luffy are sworn brothers, and the naval hero Garp is your grandfather, who is your father?"

Ace held the wine glass and said: "That guy, I don't want to mention it, explode."

"That's it, forget it, it's hard work for you to be here."
