Chapter 5: (English) Let the world know

(Eng)

Ace suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, holding a chunk of meat in his arm. Noting that he was sleeping in the kitchen, and there was a warm blanket laying around, he hugged his head and said, "I accidentally took a nap again.' After joining the White Beard pirate; Ace got back the habit of sleeping anywhere, something he could never have experienced when he was still the captain of the Spade pirate gang. The pressure of that day made Ace forget about his instinctive habit.

There was an oil lamp outside the farm, and in the light Jo was writing in a thick book. What was strange was that Jo did not make any sound at all, even though she was still writing at an incredible speed.

- Oh hey, Fire Fist!- In the dim light, Jo's hair, shining like a night star.- Would you like to have a drink with me?

- Great booze! Where did you get it?- Ace chucked up the mug then laughed loudly

- The hillside farm's owner gave it to me, he said it was a gesture for getting rid of the wild boar.- Jo also bottomed up her mug, then pulled out a cigarette. The cigarette was lit out of nowhere. She turned around and saw Ace chuckled.

- How does that taste?

- Bitter and smokeyl. Try it.- Jo was trying to pull out another cigarette for Ace, unexpectedly, Ace hurried to grab the cigarette she was holding.- Puff it and breathe out, then take it out and puff the air.

-Wo, it's heavy, it feels cool, but just like you said, it doesn't taste good.

Got the cigarette back from Ace's hand, Jo smiled joyfully. In this world, she was only 15 years old, but after she had her memory back, the cigarette became her daily life need, it did not mean she could not quit, it was just a cigarette was something to remind Jo of him, which made it easy for her to get through tough days. He always hid Jo smoking alone, unfortunately, no matter what he did, Jo recognized immediately and scolded him real bad.

Ace smiled at Jo, then he asked her about her new abilities. Jo smirked loudly. The nagi nagi no mi, although it was used by Corazon in some simple extend, but this devil fruit allowed the user to control the wave of sound aka vibration, for example, to amplifying or eradicating sound, any opponent who uses the vibration to fight might have difficulty encountering this wicked fruit (e.g. White Beard's gura gura no mi; the devil fruit of Apool). Besides, it had a very interesting feature.

The soundproofing sphere created by Nagi nagi no mi worked like a recording room without magnetic effect, which may be quite handful since it was hard to get the recording shell in this world. 'I don't know what form of awakening it is, but it might be a little helpful.'

- Fire Fist, what are your Nakamas like?

Ace was a little surprised, but he told Jo everything, from the Oyaji (pop), to Macro, to Thatch and Deuce. Later on, from Jo's hand, a tiny stream of light appeared like magic, and it echoed the thing Ace just said. Witnessing Jo's power, Ace was happy to tell him more. In that story, the only family he mentioned was Luffy, his brother, whom, though he always complained about Luffy, there was no doubt Ace was so proud of him.

Jo was feeling a little blue but still enjoying drinking, acquainted with someone who was destined to die, 'Is there anything I can do to change it? Definitely not, so I will try my best to prove to the world how wonderful you are, Ace.'

Ace rarely talked about his childhood, maybe villagers there didn't even know a powerful pirate like you grew up there. Back when Jo first read about Ace, Jo was always wondering, 'what is your dream?' Yet, a dream that seemed easy to obtain turned out to be too difficult to achieve, to escape the fame of his father. That day, when Jo found out Ace was the son of the pirate king, the first thing that came to Jo's mind was how Ace's fate was so twisted,poor . The pirate king was a selfish man, and what made Jo most disturbing was that the world's government attempted to execute the blood of pirate kings publicly as a warning for the pirate era. That denied the existence of a Porgast D Ace, who was always eager to assert himself. 'Ace, I wonder, if the story got distorted, and you were still alive, would you have made that dream come true?'

The next day, time for the three of them to say goodbye finally came, Moda prepared for both of them a portion of cow's milk as a gift. In return, Ace promised to send the letter to her father at the G-2 Marine Base. Jo's farewell present was a drawing of Moda's portrait in the field, and Ace's portrait at last night's drinking.

'Ace, you're a bad liar. You die carrying so many promises you make with many people. I broke the rule this time, revealed to you the truth, could you and him meet this time?'

So Jo and Ace resumed their journey, a few days later, the news of the Marinel base being invaded by a pirate, and Ace's wanted posters were all over the press. 'Ha ha, what an idiot.'
