Chapter 360 Coming to Dusk (Ch 360)

Seeing this, Robin shook her head silently in her heart. Although Zoro had made great progress in the past two years, she still didn’t think he could last more than three moves against her father. If Zoro wanted to become the best in swordsmanship, he still had a long way to go.
However, it is also good to let them see the top of the world and broaden their horizons.
Half a day later, the ship slowly sailed into the port of Twilight City. Since they had not been away for too long, Robin seemed very calm.
But it is different for the Straw Hat Pirates. In today’s world where pirates are wreaking havoc on the sea, it is rare to see such a prosperous port. Merchants and travelers come in an endless stream, making even the not-so-small port look a little bloated.
“Wow, Robin, you must be rich!”
Nami instantly changed her eyes into golden coin eyes, seeing the whole picture from a small part. A country with such a large number of tourists must be very rich. As the eldest princess of this country, Robin, Nami decided to hold on to her little sister’s thighs tightly, at least she would not have to worry about her retirement life in the future.
“Heh, Twilight City is indeed the richest country in the New World.”
“Wow, there must be a lot of delicious food there. Let’s find Ace and ask him to take us to eat some delicious food.”
Compared to Nami who cares about money, Luffy first thought of eating and drinking, and of course he did not forget to take his brother Ace with him.
“Yes, there is a food street over there in the south market, which is specially for travelers and caravans to eat and drink.”
“Very good!”
Luffy was overjoyed when he heard Robin’s introduction. What could make a foodie more excited than an entire food street?
With anticipation, the Straw Hat Pirates, led by Robin, walked towards Ace’s residence, which was near the entrance of a forest not too far from Alan’s villa.
Luffy was lucky enough. Ace was on vacation, and when the Straw Hat Pirates arrived, he was taking a nap leisurely on a recliner in the yard.
“Ace!!”
The excited voice woke Ace up instantly. He looked up and saw Luffy’s familiar face. The sleepy Ace also became happy instantly.
“Luffy!! You are finally here.”
The two brothers haven’t seen each other for nearly two years since they parted in Alabasta, and Ace has been waiting for Luffy to come to him.
After a bear hug, the two began to chat, and Robin exchanged glances with Nami for a while before heading home.
“I received news a few days ago that you defeated Doflamingo, and the bounty was 500 million berries. My goodness, you are almost catching up with me.”
“Haha, that’s not bad!”
Luffy seemed a little embarrassed in front of his brother, scratched his head and laughed.
“No way, Ace, didn’t you offer a bounty of nearly 1.5 billion berries? Luffy is still far from that.”
Usopp beside him immediately pointed out Ace’s modesty, and Luffy, who never paid attention to the news, suddenly widened his eyes.
“Really? Did Ace offer a reward of 1.5 billion berries?”
“It seems I still need to keep working hard!”
Surpassing Ace has always been Luffy’s goal. Now that he knows the difference in bounty between himself and Ace, the fire in his heart is suddenly ignited again.
“Haha, didn’t I go to sea a few years earlier than you? I believe you can catch up with me.”
After talking for a while, at Luffy’s urging, Ace reluctantly brought the Straw Hat Pirates to the food street, and mourned for his wallet for a few seconds. Although the rewards for missions over the years were not small, Ace was also a spendthrift.
Many members of the Spade Pirates followed him to join the Twilight Pirates. He would treat them to drinks and meals from time to time, but Luffy was his younger brother, so of course he would reimburse all his younger brother’s expenses in Twilight.
“Wow, this crab is so big, even bigger than Chopper.”
“Haha, this is a specialty of the New Fishman Island, the king crab. Its size is certainly not comparable to that of ordinary crabs.”
“Luffy, you bastard, why are you comparing me to a crab!”
“Don’t worry about it. There’s also this and this. This is a piece of leg meat that’s even bigger than Zoro’s dumbbells!”
Compared to the others who were enjoying themselves with food and drink, Zoro on the side seemed very depressed and drank alone in a corner.
Ace, who was always keeping an eye on everything, noticed this and nodded to the chef Sanji next to him. As for why he didn’t ask Luffy, how could that foodie have the time?
“Mr. Chef, what happened to your swordsman? He doesn’t seem very happy.”
“Ah, don’t worry about that green algae head. He’s probably thinking about how to challenge your captain.”
Sanji glanced at Zoro in the corner and replied helplessly.
Ace raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he saw his former self in Zoro, but he was quite pessimistic about it.
“Really? Then he’s in big trouble.”
“As long as he doesn’t die, it’s fine. Just lying there for two days will let him know his place.”
Although he was scolding Zoro, Sanji couldn’t hide the worry in his eyes. He was still afraid that a failure too extreme would make Zoro unable to recover, although the possibility of this was very small.
After experiencing countless events, the feelings of the Straw Hat Pirates have long surpassed the friendship of ordinary companions. He still hopes that Zoro can successfully realize his dream.
“Hahaha, this is easy. The captain won’t kill him. After all, I’m alive and well, right?”
“Hmm? Did Mr. Ace challenge the captain as well?”
“Yes, a full 100 times. Every time it collapsed at the first touch. It was terrible.”
“Hey, Brother Ace, you are so strong, but you can’t last more than three moves from that guy?”
Nami, who heard the conversation between the two, looked at Ace in surprise. In her eyes, Luffy and Ace were already terribly strong, and now she only saw the tip of the iceberg of Eren, and she couldn’t imagine how powerful the other party was.
“Yes, that was when the captain held back. Even though I kept getting stronger, I still couldn’t last more than three moves from the captain’s palm. I doubt that there are more than two hands in the entire ocean that can fight the captain for more than one minute.”
“That’s really scary!”
The conversation between the few people even attracted Luffy, who had been eating. He showed an excited smile, but then slowly put it away.
“What a pity, Uncle Allen is Zoro’s target, and as a captain, it’s difficult for me to snatch him away.”
“You want to…”
Ace glanced at his brother speechlessly, saying it as if you could beat the captain.
Standing up and walking over to Zoro, Ace placed a glass of wine in front of him.
“You’ve almost finished eating. Don’t you want to challenge the captain? Come with me.”
Zoro’s eyes instantly changed from confusion to excitement. He nodded, drank the wine on the table, picked up the three swords beside him and stood up.
“Let’s go. I can’t wait any longer. My blood is boiling.”
“Then I hope you can maintain this enthusiasm after the battle.”
To be honest, Ace was also worried about Luffy’s right-hand man, because the battle with Eren was really hard to maintain the intensity for a long time, and the feeling that there was no end in sight no matter how hard you tried was really discouraging.
