Upon hearing the shout, Dadan's face instantly brightened from gloomy, her heart silently thinking:
'Ace, you really are my gospel!'
When thinking this, Dadan completely forgot how she usually complained about Ace always causing trouble for her.
But why does Ace's voice sound a bit weak?
Without thinking much, Dadan directly opened the door and walked out. What met her eyes were Ace and Sabo with weak legs and eyes filled with terror.
"What's wrong with you two?"
Dadan's tone carried a trace of curiosity.
These two little troublemaker kings also have times when they show such expressions?
Ace and Sabo did not answer.
The feeling of soaring through high altitude had not yet faded.
Only now, standing on solid ground, did the two realize how happy it was to be able to step on the ground before.
They didn't know how to cherish it!
They really didn't want to experience that feeling again.
That guy Kyle wasn't human at all, grabbing them two like an eagle grabbing chicks.
Shaking them vigorously so high up in the sky, it almost scared their souls away.
Even now, their legs were still weak and trembling.
After recovering for a while, Ace finally spoke up towards Dadan:
"Dadan, did that old codger Garp come?"
"Yes! How did you know?"
A trace of astonishment appeared on Dadan's face.
Ace slightly turned his body aside, revealing Kyle behind him, and said with a pout:
"He told us!"
Only then did Dadan notice there was actually a child as cute as a porcelain doll behind Ace.
Cute children are more likely to win favor. Dadan's feeling at this moment was exactly that. Just looking at Kyle's appearance, her maternal radiance unconsciously spread out.
She slightly crouched down and spoke with a smile:
"Little friend, who are you?"
Ace, Sabo: ???
Huh!
What kind of demon or monster, quickly get off Dadan's body.
This was definitely not the fierce woman they were familiar with!!
"Hello, Aunt Dadan, my name is Kyle, I came with that old man Garp!"
Kyle also responded with a smile.
On the other side, the gazes of Ace and Sabo once again turned in unison, landing on Kyle.
What? Were you possessed too?
We remember your attitude towards us wasn't this good just now!
To this, Kyle could only say:
If you are polite, then naturally I am polite too.
If you are impolite, I am even more impolite than you!
And hearing Kyle's words made Dadan even more satisfied with him.
Look, compare child to child, it infuriates her!
If only Ace and Sabo were like Kyle, why would she need to be frantic with worry every day?
"That old... Mister Garp is inside right now, are you looking for him?"
"Looking for me, who is looking for me?"
A loud voice came from behind Dadan. Garp walked out, familiarly picking his nose.
Following behind him was Luffy, constantly dry heaving.
Seeing Kyle, Garp said:
"Kid, you're back! Pretty fast!"
"Of course! Look at what fruit I ate!"
Kyle replied calmly.
Garp nodded, then shifted his gaze to Ace and Sabo on the other side.
!!!
The moment his gaze swept over, both of their expressions changed simultaneously, and they took a step back.
A sense of fear rose from their hearts. The experience of being disciplined by Garp last time seemed to reappear before their eyes.
Watching Garp walk towards them step by step, the two couldn't help but swallow.
"Old... old man, what do you want to do?"
Ace asked in a somewhat scared tone.
"What do I want to do?"
Garp clenched his fist, bones rubbing and making crackling sounds.
"Of course I want to have a good look at my dear grandson!"
As he finished speaking, Garp raised his hand.
Seeing this scene, Ace and the other instantly shrank back like quails, closed their eyes, and prepared for the head blow.
However, things did not develop as the two imagined.
The familiar feeling came. The two were picked up again and placed in front of Kyle and Luffy.
"Come! Let me introduce you two. These two are your younger brothers!"
"Luffy, Kyle, from now on these two are your older brothers!"
"No way!!"
As soon as Garp finished, Kyle immediately retorted.
"What do you mean they are older brothers, I am the big brother!!"
"These two little brats that I can knock down with one punch each, can they be my big brother?"
"The stronger one is the big brother, the weaker one is the younger brother!"
"Rank by strength, understand? Old man!"
Kyle's retort made Garp freeze for a moment. After a while, he stroked his chin and muttered:
"What you say seems to make sense too!"
Kyle revealed a smile and said to Ace and the other:
"You see, I didn't lie to you, right? I am your older brother!"
Ace and Sabo ignored Kyle, instead turning their gaze towards Garp, pointing at Kyle and asking:
"How old is this guy?"
"Six years old? Why?"
Garp was puzzled.
....
The air quieted for a moment. After a while, Ace pointed at Kyle and shouted loudly:
"Didn't you say you were nine? You lied to us?"
Kyle took a step forward, instantly appearing in front of Ace, and knocked on his head.
"Foolish younger brother! This was just a test from your older brother! The purpose is to tell you..."
"Do not trust strangers casually!!"
Before the words fell, Kyle struck out with both hands, giving Ace and Sabo a slap each on the head.
The two cried out in pain, gritting their teeth and squatting on the ground again.
Sabo raised his head, looking at Kyle with anger in his eyes.
"I didn't say anything, why hit me too!"
"Your eyes are wrong!"
Sabo: ....
Suddenly, Ace's voice sounded from the side, immediately drawing Kyle's attention.
"Little brother, that slap from you hurt your older brother a lot!"
Ace twisted his mouth, forcing out a smile, and looked at Kyle.
"Huh~"
Kyle laughed, but the laughter sounded somehow cold.
"Ace, it seems the discipline earlier wasn't enough for you!"
Crackle!!
Purple lightning arcs suddenly flickered in the air, emitting a dangerous aura.
Sabo on the side saw this and his face immediately changed, immediately running away.
Ace, sorry, better the fellow practitioner dies than the poor Daoist, you bear this disaster yourself!
Kyle walked step by step towards Ace. Each step on the ground would stir up countless tiny purple lightning snakes scattering in all directions.
Just being touched by these purple lightning snakes, Ace felt his body go numb, needle-like pain coming from his skin and flesh.
His face immediately changed.
Oh no! Should he not have been so stubborn? Is it too late to back down now?
This thought only appeared for a moment before Ace immediately accepted it.
Wouldn't that lightning kill him if it got on him? Dignity is precious, but life is more valuable.
For the sake of life, backing down a little is nothing!!
Thinking of doing it, Ace prepared to speak, but then discovered a very serious problem.
His mouth... was numb!!
