Chapter 38
Carl had thought that after giving him the Flame-Flame Fruit, the matter would be over. After thinking about it, he decided to help the good guy to the end.
After all, this kid is really pitiful. He is the son of the Pirate King, but why did his younger brother take away the protagonist's halo? Moreover, his strength is not bad, but why did he lose to his pride and complacency?
Carl does not object to him letting anyone be his father in the future, but he is not interested in it. According to the original text, Garp has never taught Ace physical skills. He learned it completely by himself. Now Carl has given him his own training summary. I don't know if it will affect the subsequent plot. Carl doesn't know, and this is not something he can care about.
After all, no matter who dominates the world, he can't stop the revenge of the innate dragon man. Since he met Roger on the uninhabited island at the age of five, and because Shanks himself was inexplicably brought into a runaway state by the power in his body, Carl's body feels that it has begun to recover step by step.
Especially after meeting Shanks again in the bar just now, Carl felt a desire to kill him.
If it weren't for the fact that his mind was improved after getting the Seven Star Sword, the demon sword, Carl might really go crazy and kill Shanks again this time.
In this case, the mess Roger left for Shanks might be difficult to clean up.
The main reason why Carl taught Ace taijutsu and other training methods was because he knew that Garp would never teach Ace to practice. After all, even after Ace's mother died, Garp did not treat Ace equally. Even if he was not his own grandson, how could he watch someone being killed by someone else's hands?
But when treating his own grandson, he didn't know how much he was letting go, not only that, but he also let his subordinates do it together.
Add to that the father of the Revolutionary Army.
The guide of the Four Emperors; the father of the Revolutionary Army; the former deputy ship of the Pirate King as a teacher; the grandfather is a naval hero; the successor of the previous Pirate King.
It's just a full stack of buffs. Especially the crew, it looks like a temporary patchwork, but it's actually a second-generation tour group.
Others who beat up the Celestial Dragons are either hunted all over the world or hide to live out their days. He is good. After beating up the Celestial Dragons, he suddenly has a group of younger brothers who come here for his reputation, and he also has a wife of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. After recuperating for two years, he sets sail again and the world is shaken. (Forced experience)
It's just pathetic.
""Thank you, Brother Carl."
Only then did Ace come back to his senses.
He knew his life experience when he was young, and he also vaguely realized that Garp didn't seem to like him very much, so the things that Carl gave him now would be the foundation for his rapid rise in the future and the protection of his mother's safety.
Now suddenly someone appears and gives you what you want most at the most accurate time. Even if it is a stranger, you will be moved to tears.
At this time, Ace is no longer the shy person he was before, and his snot mixed with tears flowed into his open mouth.
"Ace, remember, don't gamble on your luck before you confirm whether your ability is up to standard, because you have bad luck and are impulsive. If you get into trouble, it will be difficult to clean up the mess."
"Well, I won't say much. You should take a good look at these things. And it's best not to let Cap see them. Especially since you know that I gave you this cultivation manual that I summarized myself, you'd better remember it and burn it. Some of the insights and methods in it should not be easily passed on to others."
"OK, after saying so much, I should go now. I hope I can see your name on the world headlines next time we meet, hahahaha"
"Aunt Lu Jiu, I'm leaving first"
"Karl, don't you want to have a meal before leaving?"
"No, I came here just to give you this fruit, and I just killed Garp's crew two months ago. If they knew I was here, they wouldn't be able to leave."
""Oh, Ace, eat this fruit right now. Oh, and I have something for you."
Carl took out four shackles and handcuffs from the sack.
These were specially made for Carl by Jin when Carl was in the Kingdom of God.
It was mainly just in case, or the side effects of the devil fruit were too deadly.
He was afraid that he would be trapped by others after using some obscene moves.
So this set of shackles and handcuffs made of seastone is very useful.
Carl almost forgot about it before, because Carl's main ability is not to develop devil fruits, so he didn't focus on training these.
After leaving Wano Country, Carl kept these things in the sack where the Flame-Flame Fruit was stored. I just remembered it when I took it out accidentally. Carl immediately thought that Enel should also try this training method. After all, this is the best training method for devil fruit users.
Ace obediently ate the Flame-Flame Fruit, and his face turned purple after taking a bite. He looked choked, but Carl knew that this was the taste of the devil fruit, and most of it was still disgusting.
"Don't spit it out, eat it quickly, only after you finish eating it can you master all the abilities of this devil fruit."
Karl naturally knew that the devil fruit's abilities could be mastered by just taking the first bite, and the reason he said that was just to tease this kid. Who made this kid treat Karl like a thief when they first met?
Lu Jiu smiled and said nothing. After Ace ate the whole devil fruit, his whole body began to burn. His originally fair skin began to turn red. Just like a red-hot iron.
Seeing this, Kahl arranged all the shackles and handcuffs for him.
After putting them on, the previously red skin was like being poured with a basin of cold water, and it was extinguished instantly.
"Wear it for half an hour first, and remember to supervise his training every day. Don't feel bad. If you don't train him well now, you don't know how he will die in the future. I don't want to come to rescue you because of your arrogance."
"Oh, and there's this fruit. If Garp finds it, don't tell him I gave it to you. Tell him Ace found it in the woods and thought it looked pretty so he took a bite. Of course, you don't have to tell him if he doesn't ask."
"Especially the handcuffs and leg irons made of seastone, which are most effective when practicing physical skills. Wearing them will also help the development of fruits. Well, I won’t say too much. I’m leaving first."
Before Lu Jiu and her son said hello, Carl had disappeared.
"Mom, why does Brother Carl help our family so much?"
"I don't know either. Maybe he just wants to repay a favor. When he was young, it was your father who brought him on board and taught him how to practice, so he probably feels like he owes us something."
"In fact, he had already paid it back a few years ago when he tried his best to protect mom and you in her belly, but he always felt that he owed us."
"Ace, from today on, you must practice well. Mom has figured it out. Just like what your brother Carl said, our family cannot escape the risk of being exposed no matter what. We might as well give it a try if we die in the hands of others."
"I understand, Mom!"
