On the morning of the fourth day after finalizing the decision to go to the Magic Triangle, Payton, who usually stayed on the watchtower as a lookout, suddenly made such a cry.

Hearing Payton's shout, everyone on the Furnace stopped what they were doing and ran to the railing to look at the outline of the island in the distance.

"Is the Magic Triangle ahead?" Rhea asked curiously.

"How could it be so fast? The Magic Triangle is in the sea close to the Chambord Islands. We are at least two or three islands away from there."

Bellamy, who was bruised and swollen by Rhea's abuse, couldn't help but complain, and received a rather rude punch from Rhea.

"Judging from the charts we have, this island should be Monteros Island..."

Robin looked at the navigation chart and named the island in front of him.

"Montrose Island...is there anything famous on this island?" Yamato asked curiously.

"It seems not." Robin shook his head slightly:

"There is no information related to this island in my memory. It should be just a very ordinary island."

"The island seems to be very lively."

Payton, who was wearing a sniper scope, said this in a playful tone.

"Hey, if you want to talk, just tell me clearly. Is there a celebration or a battle? Don't go around like this!" Rhea said dissatisfied.

Payton glanced at her and subconsciously turned his head to the other side, but after a moment he still said:

"There is a battle taking place on the island, but I am not sure what the specific situation is."

"The nearest navy branch here should be the G4 branch... If I remember correctly, that branch is several islands away from here. It looks like pirates are plundering the town ahead."

Robin's brows frowned slightly, because when Ornn became the Shichibukai, the Navy provided a lot of naval branch information, and she now has a very good understanding of the Navy's deployment around the world.

"Aoun, let's go help the residents on the island." Yamato looked at Aoun and asked.

Although they claim to be pirates, no one on the ship has ever done what a pirate should really do - except for one person.

"Isn't it natural for pirates to solve towns? I said, after all, you are also the Shichibukai. Are you really like those little pirates who love fantasy and play house and are used to doing such idle things?"

Bellamy stuck out his tongue and glanced at the group of people on the boat, uttering a sarcastic utterance.

As soon as he said these words, everyone's eyes on the boat fell on this guy.

"So, you have done things like robbing towns?" Aoun looked at Bellamy with a rather dangerous look.

He knew that this guy was a complete asshole when he went to sea in the original book, otherwise he wouldn't have falsely accused others of cheating when he lost to others at cards in Demon Valley Town.

But now, it's been two years since this guy went to sea, and Aoun thought this guy had never done such a thing.

"I..." Bellamy's whole body was hairy at the look in Aoun's eyes, but he still said stubbornly:

"Sooner or later I will plunder the town, but I want to follow Lord Doflamingo's new era sea..."

Before he could finish his words, Aoun had already kicked him hard on the butt and kicked him directly into the sea.

After waiting for about ten seconds, Aoun said to Payton:

"Fetch him out."

Payton jumped into the sea, and a moment later returned to the deck carrying Bellamy, whose eyes turned white.

After stepping on Bellamy's stomach and draining out all the seawater he drank, Aoun asked coldly:

"Are you awake?"

"Ahem...you bastard, are you going to kill me?"

After a lot of violent coughing, Bellamy finally spoke angrily.

Aoun looked at Bellamy and said seriously:

"You should be glad that you haven't done that kind of thing yet, otherwise what awaits you won't be as simple as waking up in the sea."

While he was talking, Aoun had already taken out a wine-steel ingot from his arms - everyone on the ship knew what this meant.

Bellamy was startled by Aoun's move. When he came to his senses, he felt that his performance just now was very embarrassing, so he scratched his neck and shouted loudly:

"Come on, kill me. I don't want to stay on this broken ship anyway!"

laugh!

Almost as soon as Bellamy finished speaking, dark red lava fell on his chest, burning the smiley face tattoo on it to black.

Bellamy screamed loudly due to the severe pain, and a look of panic clearly flashed in his eyes.

He never thought that Aoun would actually kill him, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel regret in his heart.

If he was given a chance to choose again, he would definitely not choose to anger Ornn.

Just when Bellamy thought his life was about to end, Aoun's voice faintly came to his ears:

"Rhea, heal him."

Bellamy could feel something being tied around his waist, and immediately afterwards, the severe pain suddenly disappeared - in fact, Ornn did not kill him. Under the control of his exquisite abilities, he just hit The magma in Bellamy's chest was not even 500 degrees, not to mention a thousand degrees.

In addition, because the magma was almost within reach, it actually did not cause much damage to Bellamy at all, it just scorched all the flesh on his chest.

But Bellamy didn't know this. He had only suffered two major injuries since he was a child. One was when Ornn blasted him away with droplets, and the other was the blow Ornn gave him just now.

Because he was half-deathed by the droplets before and passed out without even knowing what happened. The pain this time was so unforgettable for him that he mistakenly thought he was in the gate of hell. Take a walk before.

Bellamy, who was "surviving the disaster", gasped for air. While caressing his rapidly healing chest, he raised his eyes to look at Ornn.

There was no resentment in those eyes, only deep fear.

Now he is like one of those spirited young men Orn saw in his previous life who kept saying they wanted to join society. They talked louder than anyone else, but in fact they didn't actually need to see any big scenes. They just got beaten up hard. Be honest after one meal.

"Do you still want me to kill you?"

Aoun weighed the red ingot in his hand up and down without any fear, and asked Bellamy with a sarcastic expression.

Bellamy wanted to continue speaking harshly, but the rapidly healing tingling sensation in his chest made him feel real fear, so the words that came to his lips seemed to have been pressed on the mute button and he couldn't say anything.

Seeing that the wound on Bellamy's chest was covered with blood, Aoun untied the Lion King without hesitation and gave it back to Rhea. At the same time, he did not forget to say to Bellamy:

"You don't want me to kill you, and those civilians don't want to be killed by pirates for no reason. Think about it carefully.

Next time I want to say something, I can't help but think about the wound in my chest before I speak. Think about what the pain just felt like.

I don't care why you want to become a pirate, but I don't allow the kind of scum you call on my ship. "

Bellamy muttered in his heart, "If I hadn't made a bet with you, I wouldn't want to stay on your broken ship." But he couldn't say these words no matter what, so he could only lower his head silently, thinking in his heart He thought viciously, "Doflamingo-sama will deal with you sooner or later."

Aoun knew very well what Bellamy was thinking right now, but he didn't bother to correct this kind of thing - after all, he was waiting for this guy to inform him so that he could fully see what Doflamingo was like. A face.

"Okay, you have nothing to do here. Take a good rest these two days. After you recover from your injury, I will let Rhea spar with you."

After saying this, Aoun stopped looking at Bellamy and only ordered Urki to concentrate on steering the ship towards Monteros Island.

Bellamy looked at Aoun who was ignoring him and wanted to say something, but Rhea secretly pulled him and said to him in a voice that only the two of them could hear clearly:

"Just go and have a rest. Don't make yourself uncomfortable... Also, there are anti-inflammatory drugs in the second cabinet after entering the warehouse. Find some and take some yourself. It will be very troublesome if the wound becomes infected."

Looking at Rhea, who looked as natural as ever, and who didn't reject or distance herself or speak harshly because the captain had just punished her, Bellamy suddenly felt that this woman who beat him up every day didn't seem so annoying anymore.

"Thanks……"

By some strange coincidence, Bellamy blurted out these two words.

As soon as the word came out, even he himself widened his eyes and quickly covered his mouth.

Rhea was stunned for a moment when he heard these two words, but he didn't say anything more. He just smiled at him and waved to drive him away, but he couldn't help but think secretly in his heart:

What the captain said was indeed true. This kid is actually not that bad.

…………

After Bellamy went back to his room to rest, the Hearth was getting closer and closer to Monteros Island.

"Captain, there are two ships parked on the shore. One has no flag, and the other seems to be... the Spades Pirates?"

Payton looked at the scene in the sniper scope and reported to Orn with some uncertainty.

"Um?!"

Aoun was stunned for a moment, and then asked belatedly:

"Did you just mention the Spade Pirates?"

"Yes, it's the Spade Pirates. I've seen relevant reports about them in the World Economic News."

After all, they are rookie pirates who went to sea in the same year as Orn, and there are rumors that the other party refused to become the Shichibukai, so the Spade Pirates have been receiving a lot of news reports, so it is normal for Peyton to recognize them. .

Hearing Peyton so confidently state that the ship in the distance was the Spade Pirates, Orn couldn't help showing an extremely strange expression.

He had thought that he might run into Ace in the park when he entered the Grand Channel at the same year as Ace, but he never expected that he would meet this guy today on his way to the Magic Triangle.

"Let's take a look at the front. Speaking of which, I'm really curious about that pirate group."

Aoun urged Urki to speed up the voyage, so Urki simply started the Hearth's auxiliary propellers.

With the rapid sliding of the propellers, the Furnace rushed towards Monteros Island at an extremely fast speed, and Orn and others gradually saw the flag of the Spade Pirates clearly.

It's really them, and I don't know what Ace is doing on this island...

Just as he was thinking this, a roar suddenly came from the depths of the island, followed by billowing black smoke.

Is this... Ace taking action?

"Go and have a look!"

After saying this, Orn jumped to the center of the island covered with dense jungle almost as soon as the ship docked at the shore.

The people in the Orn Pirates were a little confused when they saw this situation, but seeing that their captain had already rushed up, they could only quickly follow.

Orn used his razor to quickly shuttle through the jungle, and soon heard bursts of crying and shouting from afar.

Almost when he was about to rush out of the dense forest to see what was going on, a very young shout suddenly sounded in the distance:

"Fire Fist!"

Immediately afterwards, the observation color in Orn's mind immediately issued a warning.

The next second, a huge flaming fist of more than ten meters in size rushed towards Orn at a high speed with a devastating momentum.

Looking at the huge flaming fist in front of him, Orn showed a bright smile on his face. He did not choose to dodge, but simply raised his fist and punched forward.

Boom!

The fist hit the huge fire fist, causing the originally unstoppable fire fist to suddenly explode and dissipate into sparks all over the sky.

"Huh?!"

The moment the fire fist dissipated, there were exclamations from the distance, and Orn could see the boy wearing a cowboy hat in the distance through the broken flames dotted with stars.

The boy was about 17 or 18 years old, with freckles all over his face, wearing a light yellow short-sleeved shirt and an orange cowboy hat with two badges of crying and laughing on it, as if silently mocking the guy who was looking at him.

Portgas D. Ace, finally saw it!

"The captain's fire fist was taken by someone!"

"Someone can take the captain's fire fist, where on earth is that guy from?"

"Is he an accomplice of these poachers?"

And behind Ace, all kinds of weird guys showed shocked expressions after seeing Orn walking out of the forest.

In all the time since they went to sea, this was the first time they saw someone who could crush the captain's fire fist head-on.

"Garuru meow~"

Not far from the Spade Pirates, a big cat with a ferocious look but surprisingly weak voice and obvious injuries on its hind legs was barking at the direction behind Orn.

"Captain, the big cat is barking again... It seems to be reminding us that there are backup behind this guy!"

Behind Ace, a sniper wearing a top hat and a long windbreaker was aiming at Orn and whispering to remind Ace.

Almost the moment he finished speaking, Yamato and others followed Orn's steps and came to the front of the Spade Pirates.

As the two sides stared at each other, a blue-haired young man with a mask on his face behind Ace exclaimed:

"I remember where I've seen you... You're Orne, the new Shichibukai who defeated Crocodile!"

As for Bellamy's age, the author searched for a long time but couldn't find it, so based on Mingo's arrival in Dressrosa 10 years before the New World (1512), Bellamy was set to be 15 years old when he met Mingo, so Bellamy's age in the book was set to 20 years old, three years younger than the protagonist and Yamato...
