The flying squirrel keenly noticed something was wrong, but at this time, Slap was already ecstatic because of Ron's affirmative answer and said excitedly.
"Thank you, Lieutenant General Canglong!"
"Actually, it's like this... Although we have a famous navy here, namely Garp, it's shameful to say that the education for future generations is really unsatisfactory."
"Cough...cough cough cough!!"
Suddenly, the flying squirrel coughed exaggeratedly, interrupting Slap's words.
"Sorry, is it too spicy?"
Maginot hurried over and handed the flying squirrel a glass of water.
The corner of the latter's mouth twitched, and he couldn't say the words that came to his lips. In the end, he could only warn Ron with his eyes and drink water to cover up.
However, Ron ignored this and when the flying squirrel didn't speak, he lit a cigar and motioned for Slap to continue talking.
"Hey, old man, let's keep the story short."
Slap sighed.
"I wonder if Lieutenant General Canglong knows about 'Fire Fist' Ace? In fact, he is the pirate who left our village."
Uh-huh!
A sharp gaze swept over, making the onlookers who didn't know what was going on shudder.
Ron took a puff of his cigar with a smile on his face and asked: "'Fire Fist' Ace? Of course I know him... but why do you ask me? He can be considered a big pirate, right?"
In this regard, Slap said melancholy.
"Hey! To be honest, since he defeated the Ignaz Pirates more than half a year ago and caused a big stir and was hunted down, we have received no news about him, not even whether he is alive or dead. clear."
"Although he is a pirate, he is still the child we watched grow up."
"If Lieutenant General Canglong knows, please inform the little old man... I want to hear the truth whether he is dead or alive!"
The people around him were silent after hearing this, and so was Maginot.
They knew it was not good to do this, after all, Ron was a marine, but caring would lead to chaos, and they couldn't stand the fact that Ace had no news, and they didn't even know whether he was dead or alive.
An ordinary citizen asked a marine about the current situation of a pirate. To be honest, if this wasn't Windmill Town, Ron promised to kill them with a backhand.
But this is also human nature. Slap did not ask him questions as an ordinary person, but as an elder who was concerned about the safety of the younger generation.
This little old man who has always said that "it's a shame to everyone when pirates appear in the village" is actually one of the people who cares about Luffy and Ace the most. Garp has never come back, leaving them nowhere to go. Ke Xun, he had no choice but to pin his hopes on Ron and Flying Squirrel.
After all, judging from their interactions during this period, these two naval prosecutors are not the kind of people who are difficult to get along with.
Ignoring the flying squirrel's gaze that was about to burst into flames, Ron nodded and said calmly.
"That's right. The subsequent news has been blocked. It's normal for you not to know."
Then, under the expectant gazes of Slap and others, Ron said calmly.
"how to say?"
"Since defeating the Ignatz Pirates, Ace's experience has been defeat, escape, being chased, and escape again. Now he is the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates, a well-known 'fireman' in the new world. Fist 'Ace."
Hiss...! !
There was a neat sound of inhaling in the room, and Slap was stunned and said in horror.
"Whitebeard? Is he the whitebeard who is known as the strongest in the world and is as scary as a ghost in the nursery rhymes?!"
"If the title "The Strongest in the World" is not repetitive... "
Ron smiled: "Indeed."
"No... incredible! Is Ace already so powerful?!"
"Hahahaha! That little bastard did a good job!"
"Captain of Whitebeard's ship? Isn't the bounty over 100 million?!"
"More than that! I heard that in the sea area of the New World, the bounty is not hundreds of millions, so I am embarrassed to see anyone!"
The residents of the town were talking a lot. After all, they had watched Ace grow up, and they felt very proud that he was now becoming prominent.
Fortunately, there were understanding people present. After the surprise, Madam Maginot hurriedly shut up, blushed, and said to Ron and Flying Squirrel: "Hug... I'm sorry! I..."
Maginot didn't know what to say. After all, the two of them were marines. They were so rude. What if they made each other angry
However, the expected sullenness did not happen. The young navy man named Vice Admiral Soryu looked calm, and would smile knowingly when he heard interesting comments from time to time. The Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel with a purple mohawk haircut had a dark complexion and low air pressure shrouded his body.
But this was not directed at them, but at his companion, Lieutenant General Soryu.
Slowly noticing the abnormality, the atmosphere gradually solidified. Everyone stopped and carefully looked at the flying squirrel's face.
After a while, the flying squirrel spoke seriously.
"Ron, you should tell the truth!"
"I'm telling the truth!"
Ron blinked, as if he didn't understand what the flying squirrel meant.
The flying squirrel took a deep breath and put down the tableware in his hand: "You should tell them that it was you who killed Ace's companions, and it was you who forced him to join the Whitebeard Pirates to seek refuge. Although he is a pirate and we are the navy, , but these people in front of me are just ordinary people, they should not be deceived and deceived! "
The flying squirrel spoke loudly, but at this moment Maginot and the others could no longer hear anything else.
Kill... Ace's companion
Lieutenant General Canglong
Are you kidding me? ! ! !
But looking at the look on Ron's face, if it was a false accusation, the other party would be unhappy. However, there was only calmness on Ron's face, which was so calm that it made Maginot's heart tremble.
"how come… "
She suddenly fell to her knees, staring blankly into the distance.
"Flying... Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel, isn't this joke a bit too much?"
Slap smiled, trying to find some trace of a joke.
"No, that's true."
But at this moment, Ron's answer shattered his luck.
"As the captain of Ace's Spade Pirates, I captured him, and I killed the rest."
"Later, I personally pursued him and forced him all the way to the Chambord Islands."
"Later, he escaped to the New World and joined Whitebeard's banner. We were concerned about the consequences of going to war with the Fourth Emperor Whitebeard, so we stopped pursuing him and allowed him to escape."
After simply telling what happened to Ace on Gaya Island and erasing the unspeakable invitation to the Shichibukai, Ace's subsequent experiences were finally known to people in his hometown.
For a moment, the tavern was extremely solemn.
"Sorry to bother you, let's take our leave now!"
The flying squirrel took a deep breath and stood up, nodding slightly to signal to the people around him.
Ron shrugged indifferently, feeling bored because he couldn't wait for the results he wanted to see. Slap and the others just stared at him blankly, as if they had not yet recovered from the bloody scene described in an indifferent tone.
Bang!
But at this time, the shutter door of the tavern was slammed open, and a thin young man covered in dirt rushed in from outside the house, lying on the ground without moving. The familiar straw hat was stuck to his back, and the red vest remained motionless. Just when the flying squirrel thought he had fainted, the visitor weakly raised his head, revealing a big, silly face.
"Ma...Sister Maginot, give me...food!"
Monkey D. Luffy actually came to the village at this juncture.
