"As long as you have a conscience, you shouldn't blame Calcifer at this time. It never said such a thing."

Faced with Alicia's heart-wrenching words, Roger let out a mouthful of sparks and deceived himself by hiding under Ace's dark hair.

"So what should we do now? We have to find a way to go back quickly, right? The war is not over yet." Ace touched the mask on his face with a deep expression and looked into the depths of the street, "So, Alicia, let's hurry up. Go to a restaurant and have a good meal! I can smell the food already!"

"Ace...don't you think there's something wrong with your transition?" Alicia curled her lips and complained.

"Haha, right? It's really important to go back and help, right?" Ace sneered. Roger had one eye peeking out from under his hair, growing more guilty.

"Little girl, let me make it clear first that if you have anything to say, please speak it carefully and you must not abuse the flame."

Alicia's heart skipped a beat, and her look at Roger became dangerous.

"Reg, please don't tell me that you can't take us back."

Roger pretended to be stupid and laughed a few times, then quickly retracted under Ace's hair and pretended to be dead. Alicia didn't understand anything about Roger's behavior, and her bad premonition came true.

"Stop pretending! Get out and get beaten! How many times have I told you not to abuse magic! You half-baked garbage fire demon!"

"Although I don't understand what's going on, it seems we can't go back for the time being." Ace couldn't help but carry the furious Alicia behind him, and headed towards the place where the smell of food came from, "Yoshi! Then fill your stomach. First!"

"Are you sure your subtext is not to eat the King's meal?"

"It's common to eat and drink for free. I'm a pirate."

Alicia chuckled because of Ace's reasoning, and looked at the toys on the street, her expression became a little tangled. The existence of the toys in Dressrosa means that this was at some point in the past when Luffy defeated Doflamingo. I just don’t know whether this is the world they live in or a world in a parallel universe. If it is a parallel universe——

"Hey, Ace..."

"what happened?"

"I--"

As soon as Alicia spoke, familiar shouts came from outside the arena gate not far away:

"Ouch! Come on, come on! I want to come on!"

"Uh... Luffy? Is that that guy Luffy? It's Luffy, right?" Ace stared at the man in a floral shirt with a snow-white beard in surprise, a smile creeping into the corners of his eyes, "Hey! Luffy - —”

"Don't yell, idiot." Alicia, who was behind Ace, quickly covered his mouth with her hands, "Do you want to cause trouble?"

"Eh? But Luffy is here too, why don't you go join him?"

"How could he come? He was still fighting Kaido on Onigashima. If you think about it for a moment, you'll know it's not the same Luffy."

"Not the same Luffy? Which Luffy? Alicia, I don't understand."

"Anyway, let's follow quietly and play by ear."

"Why am I called Kim Card?"

In the waiting room of the arena players, Ace awkwardly pulled the back of his clothes and stared at the name tag with his number and name written on it.

"Because Ace means ace, so what's the problem with being called King Card?" Alicia answered Ace's question absently, looking for Luffy among the many gladiators. figure.

"The Shao Shao Fruit is mine!"

"It's mine! You idiot!"

Hearing the rude yelling, Ace was slightly startled, lowered his head and leaned close to Alicia to whisper.

"Burn the fruit?"

"It's the prize for the winner this time."

"You can even use natural devil fruits as prizes. It's a big deal."

"Precisely a very targeted bait."

"What do you think of me winning the championship?"

"Not very good." Alicia folded her arms and rolled her eyes.

"No matter how big or small. I'm your brother." Ace pressed Alicia's head with a look of displeasure.

"It's a waste, really." Alicia shook off Ace's hand, "Please, it's impossible for two identical Devil Fruits to exist in the same world at the same time. Even if you eat the Shao Shao Fruit here, there will always be someone there when you go back. The ability will disappear, either you or Sabo, so don’t do such meaningless things."

"Eh? Was the Shasha fruit eaten by Sabo?"

"do not you know?"

"The newspaper didn't mention this matter, how could I possibly know about it." Thinking of Sabo, Ace felt a little depressed, "Then it's better not to do it."

"What's wrong?" Alicia keenly caught Ace's depressed mood and held his arm uneasily.

"Actually..." Ace hesitated.

"Ace?"

"Before arriving in Wano Country, I saw the latest issue of World Economic Forum reporting on the riots at the World Conference and... the news of Sabo's death." Ace said this to cheer up and make his voice less depressed. , "But I don't believe that kind of report. That guy Sabo is so tenacious that even the Celestial Dragon's cannonballs can't kill him. How could he be told where he is?"

Alicia was silent, and Ace ruffled her hair in a comforting way.

"Don't worry, he still has his companions from the Revolutionary Army by his side, so there will be no problem."

"No." Alicia shook her head and said that Ace had misunderstood the reason for her silence. "I always feel that Ace has matured a lot. In the past, Ace would have run to find Sabo regardless of the moment he saw the report. .”

"To be honest, I had the idea of ​​going to Sabo, but Marco persuaded me. I don't know what the situation is over there with the Revolutionary Army, and Mariejoia is not an easy place to break into. If you run away willfully Not only will it not help, but it will also cause trouble." Ace sighed loudly in distress, "But I don't want to be willful anymore. It took a lot of effort to understand that there are so many people who love me, and I cherish my life now."

"Well, you have a good ideological consciousness." Alicia patted Ace on the shoulder happily, "That's right. You should think more about the people who care about you."

"I have been reflecting on this for the past two years. You should also reflect on it!"

Alicia was unmoved by the reminder and talked about other things naturally.

"Saab's death is fake news. Let's wait until the dust settles in Wano to find out the specific situation, and then contact Morgans to find out more."

"Don't pretend you can't hear it!" Ace gritted his teeth.

"Oh, I found it." Alicia looked around at him, abandoned the chattering Ace, and limped towards Luffy who brought down the provocateur. "Yo! Lucy!"

Luffy didn't realize that "Lucy" was calling him, and quickly ran away to other places.

"Where did he go?" Alicia was puzzled. She poked her head in the crowd and was pulled by Ace.

"It doesn't matter, you can search again later. I just heard they said that area A is about to start entering. Which area are we in?"

"Well...I remember I was in area b and you were in area a."

"So, it's time for me to enter."

"Come on, I will watch the battle. By the way, if you see a guy wearing a mask and laughing weirdly, don't hesitate to beat him!"

"Huh? Are you Alicia's enemy?"

Alicia smiled wizenedly, not wanting to mention Blackbeard at all, so she nodded.

"Remember, never show mercy, give me a hard hammer!"
