Chapter 240 Stealing the Key
night.
Sabo walked out of the restaurant with the food and went up to the top floor alone. He found a place to sit down, took off the scarf covering his head, and ate quietly.
While eating, observe the surrounding terrain and plan to see which direction to escape from with the highest success rate.
It's not like being on the sea now. There is land. You can leave even without a key, but it's just a little more troublesome.
But he couldn't wait.
In the afternoon, he was cutting down trees in the forest and saw Xiaoluo and Ace sitting on the bow of the boat talking about something. He always felt that there was something unusual between the two of them?
He couldn't describe that feeling. He seemed to be able to feel the shyness on Xiaoluo's face from such a distance?It made him vaguely uneasy.
So, whether he has the key or not, he has to take her away tonight.
Before coming, Sabo saw a lot of fishing boats on the opposite coast. As long as Ace and the others were asleep, he took Xiaoluo across the island to the other side and boarded the fishing boats. It would basically be considered a success.
As for the handcuffs on Xiaoluo's hands, you can find a way to unlock them after you go back. There is no shortage of key-making talents in the revolutionary army.
The difficulty now is which way is the fastest and safest to cross to the other side. Even if someone notices that they have escaped, there is still a place to hide and they will not be caught immediately.
Soon, Sabo's eyes were locked on the forest where he had spent the afternoon felling trees.
Although the road inside is a bit difficult to walk, it is a place where it is easy to hide from others, especially in the middle of the night, when the moonlight cannot shine in. It is pitch black and no one can be seen at all.
Thinking like this, Sabo had already drawn the best escape route in his mind.
Just wait for the opportunity.
Inside the restaurant.
Xiaoluo was not idle either. While Ace was talking to others, she held the bowl and picked up the rice while looking down at Ace's trouser pockets.
I want to see if the key is inside.
There seems to be something in the other party's trouser pocket. Just looking at the printed outline, it looks a bit like what she wants.
But I'm not sure, let's have a look.
She tilted her head cutely and moved closer.
She felt good about herself, thinking that no one would notice what she was doing.
In fact, Ace had already noticed her sneaky appearance.
I also know what she is thinking.
He just didn't expose it, pretended not to know anything, and continued chatting with the crew.
Finally, Xiaoluo saw clearly what was inside from the opening of his trouser pocket. His eyes suddenly lit up and he almost laughed, but luckily he held it back in time.
It was indeed the key she was looking for.
She immediately put down the bowl in her hand, secretly moved her butt, and got closer to Ace, and then even closer.
She stopped moving when her arm was about to touch the opponent's arm.
Then he carefully reached out and touched the man's trouser pocket.
Don't make too big a move because it will be easily noticed by the other party.
Xiaoluo put her index and middle fingers in, trying to use them to pinch out the key.
But the pocket is a bit deep and I can't reach it for a while.
Her whole body was tense, for fear of accidentally touching Ace. In such a nervous state, she was sweating profusely and couldn't help but hold her breath.
A minute later, when he saw that he had touched a little bit, but the smile had not even appeared on his face, Ace suddenly stood up, and Xiaoluo was so frightened that he immediately withdrew his hand.
The man raised the wine glass in his hand and said: "Let me toast you all. Thank you for your continued care. I hope our pirate group will prosper and get better and better."
The people present also raised their glasses and said, "For what I said to the boss, I must drink this wine!"
"Yes! Become stronger and bigger, overthrow Kaido, and challenge the world government!"
"We want to become the strongest existence in the world!"
"That's right!"
Speaking of this, everyone became excited and drank from the bottle.
At this time, Xiaoluo was still feeling guilty. The moment just now almost scared her to death.
Thought I'd been caught red-handed.
Fortunately he didn't notice...
Ace finished his drink and sat back down.
He glanced at Xiaoluo, whose expression was like the word "囧".
I don’t know if I was too bad and deliberately teased her. When I looked back and saw her like that, I couldn’t help but find it funny.
How can she be so cute.
Ace put a piece of meat in a small bowl and said, "Why are you so dazed? Eat more, I asked the kitchen to make it for you."
He knew that Little Niba didn't like to eat the food he cooked, and he also knew that she didn't like meat, so he ordered the chefs to use their lifelong learning to make a table full of meat dishes.
"Oh, haha...it smells pretty good."
Xiaoluo said something perfunctory, and continued to eat with his head down in order to cover up his embarrassment.
Ace stared at the way she was eating, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.
Compared to the food, he felt that the lovely person in front of him was more delicious~
Xiaoli, who was at the other table, looked through the crowd and watched the interaction between the two.
She could see that Ace's eyes were full of that female marine, and he could even see her eating with such a happy smile.
Before, he rejected her confession and rejected the beauty sent by others.
Others think that Ace has no intention of falling in love and only wants to pursue a career. He will not think about his children until he completes his dreams and pursuits.
Xiaoli thought this way before.
So she is willing to wait for him.
But it wasn't until this moment that she understood that when Ace truly liked someone, he didn't need that girl to wait for him. He would have already taken measures to attack him.
Like other men, he will throw away all rules and regulations when facing the one he loves, not caring about other people's opinions, and even breaking his own principles to clear the obstacles between them. In short, he will go to her regardless of anything.
Xiaoli thought that as long as she stayed by Ace's side silently, he would see her goodness one day. Even after her confession was rejected, she still persisted and never gave up.
But time has not cultivated the relationship between them, nor has it diluted the position of the female navy in his heart.
As soon as she came back, Ace would run to her without saying anything or doing anything.
This is how a man behaves when he meets true love.
As she watched, Xiaoli suddenly felt a little sad, and she ate silently without saying a word.
When the sisters next to her saw her, they immediately comforted her: "It's okay, Xiaoli, there are so many men in the world, why bother hanging from a tree."
"Yes, Ace is a descendant of Roger. His life is destined to be extraordinary. The woman who can stay by his side must be strong enough and broad-minded. Think about it, how could such a successful man only have A woman?"
"Now that we have female Marines, we don't necessarily know who will be next."
"This is the first time he has fallen in love with someone, and he seems to cherish it. Who knows what will happen if he gets tired of it in the future? Men's shelf life of love is often very short, and capable men are even more likely to have women fall in love with them. No one can withstand it. If you are tempted, forget it and change it."
The beauties sent by the pirates before were enough.
Again, the reason why he refuses now is probably because he has someone he likes for the first time and wants to protect him. As time goes by, things will change.
Maybe we won’t refuse anyone who comes.
Xiaoli shook her head: "Then you really don't understand him at all."
The Ace she knew would never be like that.
This is what attracted her to him.
While everyone was eating and drinking, someone suddenly remembered something and asked: "Boss, it's been so long and the new name of our pirate group hasn't been decided yet. Have you been thinking about it?"
Marco: "I remember I reminded you half a year ago."
Ace: "....It's so difficult, give me a little more time."
"That's what you said last time."
"We can't let you go on like this."
"Think about it!"
"Why don't you call back the name of your former pirate group, Spade?"
"I think it's better to get a new one. It's not domineering enough, and it doesn't fit the status of the eldest Yonko."
"Should we choose based on appearance? Look at Shanks. He has red hair and is called the Red Hair Pirates. Dad has a white beard and is called the Whitebeard Pirates. Luffy wears a straw hat. Call it the Straw Hat Pirates, then you..."
Everyone turned to stare at Ace, looking up and down, looking for his features.
Everyone observed very carefully, and the whole restaurant became quiet instantly.
Suddenly a loud voice sounded: "Shirtless Pirates?"
The reason is simple, because Ace often goes without a shirt.
"puff--!"
Xiaoluo, who was eating, spurted out without any warning.
She quickly took out a piece of paper and covered her mouth: "No...I'm sorry."
She didn't want to laugh either, she just couldn't hold it back.
