Vol. 04 Ch. 35 – Vivre Card

After Luffy got a pain that he will never forget more than the pain given by his grandfather, Ace and also Sabo ran towards Luffy to check on his situation. Ace and Sabo start to think that if this continues they will never be able to touch Arthur, so they decide to work together.

Ace: "At this rate, we will all fail, I need your help." Ace immediately told his plan

Sabo: "All right." Sabo immediately agreed and he ran towards Arthur to attract his attention.

Ace: "We are no match for his speed, but Luffy's devil fruit can help us." Ace and Luffy ran toward the trees.

Luffy: "Yosh, we can do it." Luffy immediately grabbed 2 trees with both hands and walked backward to be able to stretch his hand as far as he could.

Ace: "Are you ready, Luffy?" Seeing Sabo who successfully led Arthur closer to them, Ace's plan was ready.

Luffy: "Yeah, [Gomu Gomu no ...]" Luffy immediately relaxed his legs making him and Ace bounce away quickly.

Ace: "[... Rocket]"

Ace managed to glide quickly toward Arthur, he saw Arthur ready to avoid it with a little move but it was still in his calculations. From the beginning, Ace did not want to attack Arthur, but he aimed for the bell on Arthur's belt and gave Sabo the opportunity to also aim for the bell. Arthur who understood Ace's plan only let him and Sabo take one bell for each of them.

Arthur: "Congratulations, Ace, Sabo, you managed to take the bell away from me." The ASL three brothers immediately rejoiced in their victory against Arthur.

ASL: "YES!" But Arthur immediately doused cold water in the joy of the three of them, Luffy immediately found himself tied to a tree.

Luffy: "Eh?" He was confused because he was suddenly bound to the tree.

Sabo: "Does that mean Luffy failed?" Sabo felt guilty about this decision.

Luffy: "Even though I've worked hard for this." Luffy was upset because he failed.

Ace: "Geez, don't worry, I won't leave you alone."

Ace immediately threw the bell in his hand towards Arthur and went walking to where Luffy to sit together to accept their punishment. Sabo who saw Ace's decision also did the same thing, he threw his bell at Arthur and sat down with Ace. Seeing Ace and Sabo's decision, Arthur was satisfied and untied Luffy.

Arthur: "Congratulations, all three of you succeeded." Arthur immediately threw 3 small bells at them.

Luffy: "Eh, why? We all failed right? " Luffy who is still confused asks Arthur.

Arthur: "No matter how strong you are, you will still need someone's help. What I value this time is your cooperation, if in the end you still keep competing and attacking yourself alone without a plan then I will never give you a sign of graduation. This is the last lesson from me. "

Ace: "Next time we will defeat you." Ace doesn't want to lose but still has a big smile on his face.

Luffy: "Sensei, we will meet again at sea once I start sailing." Luffy made an appointment with Arthur.

Sabo: "We will not disappoint Arthur-Sensei." Sabo is determined to be better.

Arthur: "Hem, now is party time." Arthur nodded and invited them to partake in their farewell.

ASL and ART Pirates party very lively, delicious food, and also drinks were never finished on the table with preparations from Baby-5 and Sugar. They all said goodbye to ASL and promised to meet again if the three of them had already set sail.

Koala: "So who is the captain among you? Is it Ace? " Koala who remembered the agreement between them asked that to make Sabo and Luffy look at Ace.

Ace: "I will not be their captain but I will make them beg and bow their heads for me to be their captain soon."

Sabo: "You want to beg and bow your head, Luffy?"

Luffy: "Certainly not." The dining room was filled with laughter at the behavior of the three of them.

Robin: "But Ace has become more mature, he used to always attach great importance to the power he has. What makes you change? "

Ace: "Huh? Who has changed, of course, I will not give up. And I also have this. " Ace pulled a bell from his pocket.

Luffy: "I have one too." Luffy also took out his bell and was followed by Sabo.

Sabo: "But what does that mean?" Sabo asked Ace.

Ace: "Didn't Sensei promise to fulfill our one wish if we succeeded in snatching this bell from him?" Ace smiled mischievously at Arthur and made Sabo and Luffy understand what he meant.

Arthur: "That's a different bell because after you two threw the bell back to me to show that you don't need anything from me."

Sabo: "Eh ... Sensei must not deny Sensei's words." Hearing Sabo's words made Arthur feel a little guilty.

Arthur: "Well, I will not fulfill the request of the three of you but I will give you three gifts."

ASL: "A gift?"

Arthur: "This is a present from me for all three of you." Arthur took a gift from his storage ring.

ASL: "Paper?" Arthur threw the prize to the three of them.

Arthur: "This is the Vivre Card, it is completely waterproof and fireproof but can be torn apart to give to others. Those pieces of rips will point and move towards each other wherever they are in the world, allowing one to always be able to know which direction the Vivre Card owner is. " Arthur then tore a little of the three Vivre Card and put it on the table.

Luffy: "Wow ... its move, the mysterious paper moves."

Sabo: "How can this paper have a compass-like function?"

Ace: "The world is vast." Ace checked the paper in his hand.

Robin: "The name Vivre Card actually is "life paper" so this Vivre Card also displays the life force of its owner. If the life force of the Vivre Card owner disappears, the card will start burning. So you can find out each other's news even though you are far apart. " Robin explains the other functions of the Vivre Card.

Hancock: "With this, the three of you will still be able to meet even if you have your own pirate crew."

Arthur immediately tore off the three of them Vivre Cards and divided them so that each of them had a card from their brother. Arthur also did not forget to name the torn card he shared. With this, the future of the three of them might change. And when their separation arrived, Arthur left before sunrise while ASL was still asleep. But Arthur did not go from the island of Dawn and stay in Foosha village waiting for the incident to arrive.
