Chapter 585 IOU

...

"Forget it, come on, Straw Hat Boy, just sign this IOU and you can go. I'll pay for the meal first. After all, too much debt is always a burden. I'll ask you for it next time."

Gel took out paper, pen and ink and said.

"Wow, that's great, you really are a good person!"

Luffy immediately picked up the pen and started signing.

"End~End~End~"

(Sound of a rubber band stretching and contracting.)

"Hey! Barbecue man, what are you doing?"

After Luffy wrote his name crookedly on the IOU, he looked up and saw Gol pulling his hair.

"End~End~"

Gel pulled hard twice more and found that he could only pull a few strands of hair in his hand longer, but he still couldn't break the rubbery hair.

"Crack!"

Gel took out a pair of scissors and cut it off, then explained with a smile.

"Leave a few strands of your hair. I can go back and have someone make it into a permanent pointer that will always point to you!"

"This will prevent you from owing money and trying to hide away so I can't find you."

"Soga! What a convenient method! Don't worry, I will definitely return the meal money to your barbecue man next time we meet, hahahaha!"

Luffy said with a silly smile.

"Wait, what the hell is a "barbecue man"? You owe me money, so I'm your creditor from now on! You can call me creditor... (up and down, left and right baba)"

Geldon, who didn't want to acknowledge this son, paused and said.

"Well, forget it, just call the creditor!"

"Good barbecue man!"

"Okay, hurry up and leave. Your brother will stay behind while you eat. If I had a brother like that, I would smash his head off."

Seeing Luffy still grinning in a daze, Gol waved his hand and said.

"Ah! I almost forgot! Ace, I'm going to run now, see you later!"

Luffy yelled and ran outside.

"Hey! Wait! Don't even think about running away, Straw Hat Boy!"

Smoker swung his right hand and turned into a giant white python, opening his mouth wide and biting towards Luffy's back.

“White Snake!!”

"I told you I wouldn't let you attack Luffy!"

Ace put away his ring finger and pinky finger, made a pistol gesture, and then shot several flaming bullets from the tips of his index and middle fingers.

"Musket!!"

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

The bullet hit the "white python" and completely dispersed it.

...

"Hey, Ger, did you forget to write down the amount of one million Baileys?"

Ayusa pointed to the blank space on the IOU on the table and kindly reminded him.

"Hehehe, leave it empty for now, and then fill it up based on how much he has."

Gel said with a chuckle.

...

"Damn it! Get out of my way!"

Smoker no longer held back. He swung in the air with his left fist and his arm suddenly turned into smoke and wrapped around Ace. Then he took out the ten hands behind his back with his right hand and stabbed him!

"Hey, hey! As a nature-type, don't you know that this kind of attack has no effect on us?"

Ace, who felt that he had the element of nature, looked at the ten hands that were stabbing him and gave a contemptuous smile!

next second!

"puff!"

"what!"

Ace was hit hard in the abdomen by the ten hands due to his carelessness. He spat out a mouthful of bitter water! Then his body flew out like a cannonball, knocking out a human-shaped hole in the bar behind him!

"Humph! Arrogance is truly a good quality among all of you pirates!"

Smoker did not pursue the victory, but simply left Ace behind and rushed out the door!

"Hey! Stop right there! Straw Hat Boy!!"

Soon, all that was left of Smoker was a receding figure and the word "Justice" on his unique jacket.

Looking at Smoker who was obsessed with arresting Straw Hat Luffy, Gol suddenly felt that this guy was quite pitiful.

Smoker is now 34 years old, a rare natural devil fruit user, an outstanding graduate of the Marine Recruit Camp, and the other three with these two levels of buffs are all Marine admirals! (Maybe 4 now)

However, he suffered the loss of appearing too early. He turned out to be a naval colonel stationed in the East China Sea. He didn't know the Six Styles of the Navy or Haki, and no one knew how he graduated from Zephyr's recruit camp.

Smoker is a marine who looks like a bad guy but has a strong sense of justice in his heart. He accidentally bumped into a little girl on the road and his trouser legs were stained by the ice cream in the girl's hand. He joked that his pants accidentally ate the other person's ice cream, and then compensated the little girl to buy a bigger ice cream.

He guarded the East China Sea Roger Town with the strength to crush all the East China Sea pirates, and protected this town, which was the beginning and end of the pirates' check-in for many years. Later, when he saw Luffy on the execution platform showing the same smile as Roger before his death, he concluded that Luffy might become a big pirate like Roger who brought turmoil to the sea in the future, so he made up his mind to arrest the Straw Hat Pirates and left the East China Sea and chased them all the way to the Grand Line.

In addition, Smoker, like Garp, is not afraid of his superiors and the powerful. He is a small naval colonel who dares to tell the Five Elders to eat shit. His personality problems should be one of the reasons for his low military rank, but Smoker does not care about his position.

The Pirate King who pursues freedom, and the righteous and powerful Navy who chases the Pirate King around the world, the two sides are opposed because of their identities and positions, but they recognize each other because they understand each other, forming a wonderful bond of both enemies and friends.

Gel felt that "Smoker and Luffy" should have been the most suitable relationship for "Garp and Roger", but he didn't know whether it was because he was set too strong in the early stage without Haki, so that it was too troublesome for the Straw Hat Pirates to call for reinforcements every time they met, or for some other reasons, he was abandoned by the only "true God" in the pirate world, and most of his luck was given to the Deserter King. Later, he was reduced to a marginal character that everyone could ride on and shit on.

"Haha, you deserve it. I'll tell you not to hang out with me!"

Geer concluded.

...

"Huh? What? The battle ended so abruptly?"

"Damn it! The person didn't die. It's pointless. Let's go!"

"Godly doctor, we'll leave first!"

Seeing that the navy left before completely killing the pirate, the crowd in the room who loved to watch the fun quickly found an excuse to slip away, for fear of being retaliated by the pirate.

In the blink of an eye, the hotel was empty, leaving only Geer, Ayusa and the hotel owner who fainted in the corner crying.

"Crack! Click!"

Ace crawled out from under a pile of broken bricks, rubbing his stomach and cursing.

"Damn it! How insidious of the navy! They actually inlaid seastone on their weapons!"

"Hey! Stop right there, Marine! Our fight isn't over yet!"

"boom!"

Ace ran quickly towards the door, but suddenly bumped into a transparent barrier!

"Ouch! It hurts, it hurts!"

Ace covered his red and sore nose, tears almost flowing down.

...

(I saw some readers say that it is impossible for Ace and Smoker to be evenly matched, and Ace should have completely crushed Smoker. Here I would like to share my personal opinion. First of all, in the original work, the two met for the first time in Alabasta. It is not ruled out that both sides only fought tentatively without trying their best, and it is impossible to determine with 100% accuracy who is stronger and who is weaker. However, judging from the situation of the only fight between the two, the battle at that time was evenly matched! "Fire and smoke can't tell the winner" was also said by Ace himself. There is no statement that Ace was deliberately weakened. Although the combat power often appears strange in the original work, it cannot be taken too seriously. If you have to analyze it, I think it should be Smoker who was severely weakened in the later period.) (Not included in the word count, only represents personal opinion)
