To say that the one who reacted the most to Blackbeard's arrival on the Sky Curtain was naturally Ace, who had been chasing him.
Along the way, Ace has been learning about the magical changes in the East China Sea through newspapers.
A mysterious invitation letter, a navy with increased military power, and an island where strong men have landed.
There are various news reports about Grand Forest, almost every two or three days.
When he saw Luffy's bounty and their friends, Ace's face turned cloudy.
While searching for traces of Blackbeard, he paid more attention to the information about Grand Forest.
On this day, the latest newspaper was dropped in Ace's town.
After he took out one, he couldn't help but be surprised to find that there was a report about Luffy on it.
"Luffy?!"
The report introduced the three great pirates who came to the Sky Curtain in the East China Sea: the first pass through the Frost Dark Forest, the +12 weapon master Buggy, and the first pass through the zombies to save Celia, Straw Hat Luffy.
"So you are here..."
He looked at the introduction above and said, "You have found your partner, this guy..."
Whenever he thought of his ungrateful brother, the corners of Ace's lips raised unconsciously.
After drinking this bowl of sworn wine, they will be brothers for life from now on.
He stared at the portrait of Luffy above, and the past events were vivid in his mind, as if everything happened yesterday.
"The bounty was so high as soon as I went to sea. It seems that this guy didn't stop practicing after he left..."
"I just don't know if this guy who doesn't understand etiquette will be disliked by his crew..."
"Speaking of which, they are all on that mysterious island..."
Ace muttered to himself and took out an adventurer invitation from his backpack.
This was something he accidentally obtained not long ago. After activating the power above, he was not in a hurry to teleport.
"Would you like to try your luck on Grand Forest Island?"
Ace was entangled. Teach's traces had been found here, and Luffy's information was here.
However, when he turned over the report, he immediately stopped worrying.
The reverse side of the newspaper introduces, first of all: Marshall Teach, the first pirate to upgrade to Level 20!
"Tikki!! Finally found you!"
The unstoppable killing intent flashed out of Ace's eyes, and as the light of the invitation flickered, Ace disappeared directly from the spot.
In Mirk Forest, when he effortlessly cleared away the monsters in the first room, he finally remembered that magical power called skill.
[Fire Elementalist (Passive): Due to the extremely high affinity of the fire element in the body, some skill attributes will change]
[Magic whirlwind: Sends a fire attribute (modified) whirlwind to the enemy and floats the enemy into the air]
[Magic Fireball (Modified): Fires magic fireball forward]
To be honest, Ace still doesn't appreciate the power of these skills.
Except for the fact that his Shashao Fruit has not been developed to its awakened state, all other abilities are being used fairly well.
In the original work, if it weren't for the fruit's restraint, Blackbeard might not be able to defeat Ace.
His eyes were mainly focused on one of the skills.
[Immortal body (passive): After death, he is resurrected with a small amount of physical strength and gradually regains physical strength]
Is there still such ability in this world? !
Can an immortal body really be immortal?
As we all know, there is no wife in the wife cake.
The immortality ability was so incredible that Ace felt unreal when he first activated it.
Instead of continuing to worry about skill information, the focus is on upgrading.
If you don't upgrade quickly, you won't even be able to enter that street.
"Tikki, don't let me catch you!"
...
At the entrance to Gran Forest, when Zoro came out first, he found Luffy already waiting for them.
After saying hello, he also found a place to sit down.
Luffy looked at Zoro boredly: "Zoron, your arm seems to be different."
Zoro hummed, "The chains were removed and the spell to summon ghosts and gods was engraved on it."
As soon as Luffy heard about Kishin, his eyes immediately lit up:
"That's awesome! Then, you summon a ghost to make me healthy..."
Zoro: "..."
"Don't be so cold, Sauron, summon him and take a look..."
Luffy put his head close to Zoro's arm and couldn't help but try to touch the spell on the ghost's hand.
Zoro looked at Luffy with disgust, "Haven't you seen it before? The red one is the ghost Kazan..."
"Ah? Is that a ghost and god? Will you summon other ghosts and gods?"
"After changing jobs, I can summon another one..."
"His Gai!"
"Oh, by the way Zoro, this is for you."
Luffy suddenly took out an extremely strange weapon from his backpack.
"Look, it's a pretty good weapon, I opened the box!"
Luffy threw it to Zoro with a smile. He took it and looked at it, his eyes couldn't leave.

It is said that when a dead leaf butterfly lands on a branch, it will turn into a dead leaf. If the dead leaf knife is struck on the enemy, will it turn into a dead leaf?
——The unknown swordsman of Arad
"What a nice weapon..."
Sauron stood up, immediately put on the weapon, and waved it in the air a few times.
The sword body brought out overlapping purple afterimages, which directly attracted the attention of the people around it.
What kind of weapon is this? Why is there still a shadow?
"Haha, it suits you just right, Zoro."
"Ah..." Zoro put the original sword back into his backpack.
At this moment, there was a flash of light, and Nami, Sanji, and Usopp appeared at the same time.
They were surprised to find that their silly captain was already waiting for them outside.
"Luffy?!"*3
Luffy looked at everyone with a smile, "Everyone!"
The other person didn't move, and stretched out his neck first.
A python was wrapped around Usopp's shoulder, and he stared at the small robot with bright eyes.
"How strange! What is this? A robotic aircraft?"
Usopp immediately became proud, "Ha, this is Captain Usopp's mechanical pet."
After changing his job to become a mechanic, Usopp had this thing on his shoulders.
The machinist's iconic pet was originally required to be made before changing professions.
But in the world of pirates, it becomes a mark that appears directly after the job change is completed.
Similarly, Nami's job change was supposed to be to collect the four elemental quest items of light, fire, ice and darkness from the Thunder Ruins, Flame Graca, Frost Graca, and Dark Thunder Ruins.
But in the pirate world, the transformation directly turned into defeating the Bone Hell Breath.
High-end planning often adopts a simple job transfer method - Fang Fan
"It's really strange..." Sanji couldn't help but sigh.
Zoro couldn't help but look at the robot pet, secretly sighing at the power of the invitation.
"It seems that everyone has become a lot stronger."
Luffy smiled with satisfaction, "So, friends, are you ready to go on an adventure at sea?"
"I've been waiting for your words... Captain!"
"Then, let's go back to the Meili first."
...
When the pirate adventurer spread the word that you can't do anything easily in Grand Forest, Flying Squirrel deeply admired Sengoku's plan!
Their navy has always behaved themselves, and he even intentionally failed to capture the pirates near Grand Forest Island.
According to information from the Naval War Bureau, even naval adventurers who have not changed jobs have a much higher combat effectiveness than before.
In the East China Sea, as the Flying Squirrel cleans up, more and more pirates Lou Lou are caught.
The pirates in the entire East China Sea were suddenly plowed by the adventurer navy.
The little fish and shrimps are basically finished.
The rest either hide themselves or stay in the Grand Forest.
"According to information from Huttonmar, the Straw Hat Pirates have left Grand Forest..."
"In addition, the pirates Bucky and Arrita disappeared after appearing at the entrance to the Grand Forest, and they most likely returned to the East China Sea."
The flying squirrel suddenly became serious, "Send the order, return to Rogge Town!"
No matter who of them goes to sea, they must pass through Rogge Town.
When the time comes, we can catch them all in one fell swoop!
On Bree Island, after Bucky led a wave of zombies, he reluctantly returned to his base.
The eight-player zombies were not difficult for him, but they still required a lot of effort.
After some troubles, Bucky realized that he had spent time and effort, but there were very few gold coins.
"How can we repair it? It's not cost-effective to bring people with us!"
The money comes too slowly!
He looked at the Arad's Deception Collection in his arms, and suddenly felt that it was tasteless and a pity to throw away.
Originally, he thought that if he couldn't deceive pirates, he could deceive people on Hutton Mar Street.
But after hearing about a giant sword falling from the sky, he gave in.
He ignored the gold coins and said, "Mochi, how many people are there in our pirate group?"
"Captain Bucky, many people have defected here. Now we have 354 crew members with good combat effectiveness."
Arrita asked one more question: "How many have activated the invitations?"
"Uh... half of it."
Arrita smiled softly, "Bucky, it's almost time to enter the Grand Line..."
With more than a hundred adventurers, even the navy can give them a fight.
