After confirming that neither baby-5 nor Valor was injured, Seti turned his head and looked at his surroundings.

Under the suppression of Ace, the user with the Burning Fruit ability, the surrounding fires had been basically controlled. Looking at Ace who was still trying to put out the fire, Seti thought about it and stopped him:

"Okay, it's enough to do this."

After hearing what Sett said, Ace did not continue to show off. He no longer fought with the sea of ​​​​fire around him, but turned to look at Sett with a serious face, and his fists were once again blazing with flames.

Although he could barely be considered a fighting partner just now, Ace has always had a very clear understanding of his own identity.

He is a pirate, and the other party is a navy...

Seeing Ace with a faint fighting spirit in his eyes, Seti couldn't help but admire in his heart.

As expected of Ace, after seeing the dark hell and blissful backwardness he had just done, he could still maintain such a high fighting spirit.

If he had enough time, he wouldn't mind fighting with Ace, but right now there wasn't much time left for Ace and the others. The navy chasing them would surround them at any time. After thinking about it, Seti gave up the fight.

Ace's warring thoughts.

Seti looked at Ace with a smile in his eyes and said:

"Seeing as you have done a good thing, let me remind you that there is not much time left for you. I suggest you run away as soon as possible."

After hearing this, Ace, who was originally high-spirited, suddenly became a little confused, and his silly look looked a bit like Luffy.

"What does this mean? We don't have much time left."

Deus on the side pulled Ace and reminded him:

"There must be someone here who has been monitoring our actions. It is impossible for the navy to give up the pursuit of us. There will definitely be a large number of navy coming to round us up next!"

After being reminded by Deus, Ace also reacted, but he did not run away in a hurry, but stared at Seti with burning eyes and said:

"As you just said, you will tell me your name afterwards."

"Seti."

"Seti? My name is Ace, Portcas.d. Ace, you are an interesting guy, I believe we will meet again in the future."

After Ace bowed politely as a farewell, he suddenly looked at Iska, who had been keeping his head down and silent, and there was an obvious tenderness in his eyes.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly stretched out his hand towards Iska:

"Hey, Iska, come to my ship! I won't force you to be a pirate. You can... you can be a bounty hunter. I don't mind if there is someone on my ship who wants to target my head.

The existence of bounty hunters.”

Baby-5 and Hua Luo on the side looked at each other, with excitement in their eyes.

This is a confession, right? This must be a confession!

But then, the two fell into entanglement again.

Because they discovered that they both wanted Iska to promise Ace, but they also didn’t want Iska to promise Ace.

If Iska agrees to Ace, they can be together, but in that case, Iska will leave the navy and it will be difficult to see them again...

After struggling for a moment, the two finally focused on Iska.

They are not going to provide any advice, this choice can only be made by Iska himself!

Iska's eyes, which had been a little dull, brightened up when she heard this. She looked at Ace's outstretched hand, hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly grabbed the hand together.

Just as baby-5 and Valor were preparing to say goodbye to Iska, Iska made a move that was beyond the expectations of everyone present.

She grabbed Ace's hand and stood up, hugging Ace fiercely.

Iska hugged Ace tightly, obviously tears were falling from her eyes, but her face was filled with a happy smile:

"Idiot Ace, how can a pirate and a bounty hunter live together..."

I, I'm glad you can say this to me, but I'm sorry, I don't want to leave the navy. It's true that Doro destroyed my reason for joining the navy, but it was precisely because of his atrocities that made me realize

Now it's my duty as a Navy man.

In today's navy, there are still many, many scum like Doro.

In order to prevent my story from happening to other children, I must clean up the garbage one by one like Mr. Seti did!"

Iska's words made Ace's expression change several times, from excitement to nervousness, and then from nervousness to relief.

After being frozen in place for a long time, Ace finally summoned up the courage to reach out and climb onto Iska's back:

"I understand, I... respect your thoughts."

After saying this with some difficulty, Ace suddenly looked at Sett who was watching all this silently:

"Hey Seti, for the sake of us fighting side by side, please do me a favor."

Seti didn't expect that he actually had his own affairs, and couldn't help but be a little surprised:

"Me? What are you talking about?"

"Help me take good care of Iska, please. Although she is sometimes silly and often does bad things with good intentions due to her impatience, she is definitely a good navy!"

Seti opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he saw Ace's extremely determined eyes, what he said became:

"Don't worry, leave it to me. With me here, no one can bully her!"

Hearing Seti say this, Ace suddenly laughed, his smile was extremely happy and bright.

He let go of Iska, grabbed the cowboy hat hanging behind him and put it on his head, saying his final goodbye to Iska:

"Goodbye Iska, believe me, we will definitely meet again one day. I'm still waiting for you to catch me!"

Hearing this, Iska, who was originally in tears, couldn't help but burst into laughter. She looked at Ace and suddenly shouted:

"You bastard Fire Fist, sooner or later I will catch you!"

Listening to these familiar words, Ace laughed heartily twice. Just as the laughter stopped, he clearly felt the ground beneath his feet shaking - obviously there were troops approaching here!

After laughing, Ace hugged Deus who was writing furiously at the side (Deus is a writer in the Spade Pirates):

"Let's go, Deus, it's time to retreat!"

Deus was affected by Ace and also showed a smile and said loudly:

"As you command Captain!"

As they spoke, the two people immediately ran in the opposite direction from where the vibration came.

Looking at the two people's backs drifting away, Seti also showed a heartfelt smile.

After watching Ace and Deus go away, he walked up to Doro's body, which was beyond recognition not far away, grabbed one of his legs and dragged him up.

While dragging Doro's body, Seti said to Iska without looking back:
Chapter completed!
