Vol. 04 Ch. 33 – Heredity

After a day of training and learning, ASL three siblings slept and rested. But they did not know that the next day they would have a harder day. But that night they were very happy, the three of them slept soundly at their secret headquarters. The night was getting late and finally, the sun began to rise as a sign that a new day had begun. ASL three brothers who had woken up immediately ate their breakfast which was not enough to make them full because today they began to hunt for their own food.

Ace: "Sabo, he is running towards you, don't let him escape." Ace chases a bear who runs towards the cliff.

Sabo: "Leave it to me, I will not let it escape." The two of them ran not letting their hunted animals disappear from view.

Ace: "Finally, we managed to lead him towards the cliff."

Sabo: "Hehehe, Luffy gets ready!" Luffy, who was ready to stand on the cliff, saw Ace and Sabo coming to herd their hunt.

Luffy: "It's here, come on!" Luffy slid down the cliff wall and jumped around swinging the pipe stick right at the bear's head until it collapsed even though he had struggled to get up.

Sabo: "Good job Luffy." Sabo and Ace smiled at the hunted animal that had fallen.

Ace: "This is the result of our second hunt today."

Luffy: "I did it, the first time I finished off our prey." Luffy was jumping up and down in excitement.

Sabo: "Hey, look at that. Luffy, look behind you !? " Sabo who saw a big tiger emerging from the top of the cliff gave a warning to Luffy.

Luffy: "Behind ... Big Tiger?" Luffy, who turned around, immediately trembled in fear.

Ace: "He wants to take the bear?"

Sabo: "Luffy, run from there, he just wants the bear." Although Sabo had warned Luffy, he still did not move from the bear's body until the big tiger jumped down and was right in front of Luffy.

Luffy: "This is the prey I take down, how could I give it to you." Luffy swings his pipe stick to chase away the big tiger.

Sabo: "The enemy is too strong, run fast." The tiger immediately licked Luffy and immediately threw Luffy at Ace and Sabo.

Luffy: "[Gomu Gomu no ...]" Luffy's punch which was still weak was successfully resisted by a big tiger and stepping on it made Luffy pulled back to big tiger until he was above its head.

Arthur: "What are you doing here?" Arthur's voice came from behind Luffy.

Luffy: "Eh. Arthur-Sensei. " Luffy looked back and found Arthur casually sitting on the back of the big tiger.

Arthur: "Is this your first prey? Hem ... not bad, if you finish the hunt then come back soon and train in the obstacle course. "

Sabo: "Wow ... Sensei can tame this big tiger."

The days of their training continued, Arthur continued to train ASL until winter arrived and snow covered the entire scene. Now with the addition of a big tiger named Kiji by the Koala as opposed to their sparring, it makes their training harder. Of course, the three of them haven't been able to defeat the big tiger by themselves even though they didn't lose either. Koala who also joined the training with ASL starts to open her heart and can laugh out loud because of the funny behavior of the three siblings.

Koala: "Huh? The one who wins against Kiji will be the captain of your ship? "

Luffy: "Even though we can't win now, we will continue to train."

Arthur: "Ho ... so who is the strongest is your captain?"

Luffy: "Yeah, that's an agreement between us."

Arthur: "You think the captain is only the strongest person in the crew?"

Sabo: "What does that mean? The most powerful among the three of us will be the captain, what's wrong with it? "

Arthur: "Of course the captain is a strong person, but there is something more important than that."

Sabo: "More important thing?"

Arthur: "Think about it yourself, if you don't know then you are not a good captain."

Even though it was getting late, after dinner, they still took Robin's class. And they rested with tired bodies at their secret base, but there was one person who couldn't sleep, Ace. That night the snow stopped falling and visible stars glowed in the dark sky. Ace who could not sleep finally came down from his secret base and walked towards the ART Pirates house. Arthur who was still sitting outside in the terrace second flor along with Hancock, Robin, and Monet found Ace standing at the door.

Arthur: "Ace, do you want to go to the toilet?" Arthur called out to make Ace to looking up.

Ace: "I want to ask something." Ace's face looks very serious.

Arthur: "Get up." Arthur motioned for him to go up to the terrace and Ace jumped up the tree to get to the terrace on the second floor of the house.

Robin: "Ace-Kun, why aren't you sleeping? What do you want to ask?" Robin as the teacher asked Ace.

Ace: "What are the conditions for being a captain? What is more important than strength? Tell me." Ace asked seriously and loudly.

Everyone: "Hahaha." Hancock, Robin, and Monet laughed at Ace's question and made him slightly annoyed.

Hancock: "Ace, do you think I followed Arthur because of his strength?"

Robin: "Right now, there are still many people who are stronger than Arthur."

Monet: "What did you see from Sugar, Bepo, and Koala when calling and seeing Arthur as captain?"

Arthur: "Whatever happens, someone recognized by the crew is the captain, whether that person is strong or weak. You can't be a captain if you are alone, it's that simple. "

Ace: "How stupid." Ace immediately jumped down and went to sleep.

Arthur: "Your journey is still long, Ace." Arthur could only shake his head to see Ace walking farther and farther away.

Robin: "Going back to our previous conversation, Arthur, what will we do when Tenryuubito comes to this island." Robin put a newspaper with a picture of tenryuubito on the front page.

Hancock: "Don't mind the big lizard. More importantly, how long do you want to train the three of them? " Hancock was reluctant to discuss Tenryuubito.

Monet: "So this is the name Tenryuubito, the first time I will see them in person."

Arthur: "Monet, I'm also Tenryuubito, so it won't be your first time."

Monet: "How come there are Tenryuubito like you?"

Arthur: "Uh ... my identity is not recognized." Arthur looked down.

More than 2 weeks Arthur trained three ASL brothers, their physical strength is stronger than when they first met. But there is still no one who can defeat Kiji. And in the morning after they had given their prey to Baby-5 for cooking, Sabo told one of Ace's secrets to Luffy.

Luffy: "Ace, I heard from Sabo that you are the son of pirate king Roger, why don't you tell me?" In the dining room, Luffy suddenly asked Ace.

Sabo: "Stupid, Luffy, I said don't talk about it in front of Ace." Sabo tried to silence Luffy's mouth.

Arthur: "So because of this, you asked the question at that time. So what do you think now? What do you think of the heredity from Roger? "

Ace: "I don't care, I'll decide my own path. I didn't think about what you said back then, Arthur, Hm. " Arthur immediately hit Ace's head and a large lump appeared above his head.

Arthur: "I told you to call me Sensei. Luffy, let's start practicing your devil fruit. " Luffy immediately ran to the training ground and stood 5 meters away from Arthur.

Luffy: "Yosh, this time I can do it. [Gomu Gomu no pistol] "Luffy used his special attack with his devil fruit ability but still missed the target.

Koala: "Hahaha, stupid Luffy."

Arthur: "Luffy, I told you to focus on your target, don't just let go of your fist." Arthur avoided Luffy's punch aiming right at his head where he was standing next to the target practice.

Luffy: "Arthur-Sensei, the target is too far away and keeps moving."

Arthur: "Your enemy will not stand still to take your beating."

Day after day, month after month, and winter finally passed. Spring that will be the beginning of the story of the three brothers has arrived, as well as the time of separation of Arthur and them. From the beginning, Arthur had told them that he would train all three of them just this winter because he would continue his journey. Before their separation, Arthur will give an exam for the three of them.
