426. The Road To Becoming Stronger

Nezumi turned his head and looked at the three brats in front of him with a frown, his tone slightly dissatisfied, "Do you mean Mr. Atlas by it?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Ace put the water pipe in his hand on his shoulder, and his open clothes revealed his plump muscles, with his smooth muscle lines clearly visible.

He is already fifteen years old this year, his body has entered a stage of rapid development, and his strength is increasing exponentially every day.

Coupled with the Marine's internal scientific training methods, his body has long been honed to become extremely strong.

"You little brat! You're really not cute at all!"

When Nezumi saw that a kid dared to insult his idol, he became furious. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to teach the kid a lesson, but he was held back by a strong arm.

"Hey! Do you know who he is? Brother Nezumi?"

The Marine soldier guarding the door quickly dissuaded him.

Almost everyone in the Marine knows these three demon kings.

With his strong talent and strong background, he has caused a stir in Marineford in the past few years.

You can fight sea beasts when you go to the sea, and you can catch tigers when you go up the mountain.

With this kind of talent, even without Vice Admiral Garp's status to look after him, Fleet Admiral Sengoku and other Marine senior officials would probably take good care of him.

"Who cares who they are? If you dare to insult Mr. Atlas, I must make him look good!"

Nezumi shook off the Marine's arm, ignored the advice behind him, and strode towards the three Ace brothers.

"Hey—you are such a wretched man, you are too weak, it would be better for her to do it."

Ace pouted and pointed the water pipe in Kuina's direction.

Although he doesn't know Observation Haki yet, with his keen intuition, Kuina's unique sharpness as a swordsman still cannot be hidden from him.

"Huh? You brat, stop talking nonsense here!"

Nezumi laughed angrily, moved quickly, and was in front of Ace in a moment.

When he punched out, his sleeves and the air roared fiercely, which was quite powerful.

However, Ace only turned his body slightly to one side, and Nezumi immediately jumped into the air, and due to inertia, directly missed Ace's body.

Boom!!

Ace raised the special water pipe in his hand and hit Nezumi's butt hard.

Two forces were exerted on the body at the same time, and Nezumi suddenly lost control of his body balance.

He landed on his face and stumbled directly to the ground.

"Ace, don't go too far. After all, we are all Marine colleagues, and we will still be classmates in the training camp from now on."

Sabo, dressed as a gentleman, hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"Okay, okay~ I understand, your name is Nezumi, my name is Ace, I can help you meet your idol."

With a smile on Ace's face, he extended his palm to Nezumi lying on the ground.

"Really?"

When Nezumi heard this, he immediately got up from the ground and dusted himself off as if nothing had happened.

"Hey! Why are you okay at all? When Ace hits someone, it hurts."

Luffy looked around Nezumi with a suspicious expression, as if he was trying to find any injuries.

He usually gets beaten a lot when fighting Ace, and although it doesn't leave any scars, the pain is still unavoidable.

Unexpectedly, this wretched guy in front of him seems to have no feeling at all?

"Compared to the results of meeting Admiral Atlas, what is this pain?"

Nezumi looked solemn and said with great piety.

"..."

Ace looked at the fascinated Nezumi speechlessly, and immediately decided to stay away from this fool.

"Sounds...so awesome?!"

Luffy, with his eyes shining, hurriedly stepped forward and kept circling around Nezumi.

Seeing his younger brother failing to live up to expectations, Ace turned his attention again to Kuina, whose body was as tall as a cypress.

"You're from East Blue, Marine? You look about the same age as me."

Kuina nodded slowly, with a look of interest in her eyes, "Yes, I just heard that you are also a student of this recruit training camp?"

Although she is not a swordsman, among the recruits she has seen along the way, this guy in front of her is definitely the strongest one.

"Of course. Sabo and I finally joined the training camp. If it weren't for that smelly old man, I would have joined earlier."

Ace grabbed Sabo next to him and said proudly.

"Hey! You guys are so shameless that you secretly asked uncle to let you into the recruiting camp!"

When Luffy heard what the two said, he flashed in front of them and said angrily.

Luffy has kept this matter in mind for several days.

"Okay, okay, Luffy, you are too young. Teacher Zephyr will probably put you on the list in a few years."

Sabo comforted him softly.

"Hmph! I want to go to that old man with sunglasses like you, so I don't want to be with grandpa."

Luffy is still aggrieved. It doesn't matter where he goes to practice, he just doesn't want to go to the Garp ship.

"Okay, Luffy, I heard that the cafeteria just dealt with a Sea King. Let's go eat together then."

"Eh?! Really? I want to eat barbecue!!"

After hearing Ace's words, Luffy's eyes suddenly turned into the shape of two barbecues, and a large amount of saliva secreted rapidly and continued to flow out.

Seeing Luffy's appearance, Ace and Sabo lifted him up one by one and walked straight towards the cafeteria.

"Looking forward to meeting you at the training camp. I will definitely become the strongest recruit!"

"Hey! Didn't you say you would take me to see Admiral Atlas?"

When Nezumi saw the three brothers suddenly turning away, he hurriedly shouted to stop.

Didn't you agree to take me to see Admiral Atlas? Why did you leave so suddenly?

Ace waved his hand behind him without looking back, "That bastard Marine is not here. He has something to do and left Marineford for the time being."

"Eh?!"

When Nezumi heard this, his face suddenly drooped, his whole body suddenly became weak, and the pain in his buttocks came like a tide.

"Okay, Admiral Atlas will stay at the headquarters frequently. There will be many opportunities in the future."

Kuina looked away, then looked at the frustrated Nezumi next to her, and said calmly.

"Really?"

Hearing Kuina's words, Nezumi seemed to come to life in an instant, and asked with an eager look on his face: "By the way, who is stronger, you or that kid just now?"

Although it was just a brief confrontation, he didn't even use his strongest human-beast form. But the moment they met, he felt like he was being targeted by a powerful beast. The substantial sense of oppression was no less than that of the serious Kuina.

"I don't know, the outcome of the battle can be determined not just by the so-called breath."

A glimmer of expectation flashed in Kuina's eyes, and her calloused palms gently touched the Wado Ichimonji on her waist. Coldness and warmth blended together, and a strong fighting spirit burst out of her body.

The road to becoming stronger starts with Marineford!
