Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 529 Ace Woke Up (2)

I am the dividing line after the explanation~~
·
Ace listened to this incredible process in silence, although it is very unreasonable, it is a fact.After all, the undeniable evidence was right in front of his eyes, his body, and Encore, who had grown up by several years in just a few weeks.

·
After being silent for a while, he looked up at the girl sitting on the side. Although he felt unaccustomed, he still asked as calmly as possible: "That, Enke. Dad, he..."

·
"Master Shanks stopped the war, and then he and Mr. Marco took the body of Mr. Whitebeard back to bury him~" Enke propped his face with one hand, looked at the heavy-faced man, and said lightly He comforted him: "Don't worry, Lord Whitebeard already knew that you were still alive before he died, and he has no regrets about leaving..."

·
"Then..." After a pause, he asked hesitantly, "Marco and the others know that I'm still alive?"

·
"No, everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates doesn't know about it. Now that we know that the two of us are still alive, there should be no more than a dozen. Moreover, with someone's vigorous propaganda, people all over the world think that we are both alive. It's turned up~~. Moreover, the outside world is already looking for the crystal fruit and the burnt fruit, after all, as long as you find these two devil fruits, it will be a complete proof~~"

·
"Devil fruit?" Ace looked at her feeling strange. After all, he saw Encore use the ability of devil fruit just now, and the words he just woke up seemed to have evoked flames.Although the body always feels weird now, the ominous aura lurking in the body is obvious.

·
"My fruit is still there~~~~", Anke raised his hand, the luster of the crystal shone under the light, "but yours is gone~~ now it has reappeared in a corner of the world right~~"

·
"No more?" Ace's eyes widened in surprise, then he clenched his fists and asked uncertainly, "But just now..."

·
"The flames were summoned just now, right~~" Encore narrowed his eyes proudly, then stretched out his slender index finger to point to his right hand, "Look at your arm~~that's the reason~~"

·
"Arm?" Ace looked at his arm suspiciously, and then stared in astonishment at the gorgeous pattern that seemed to be burning with flames.

·
"That's the ability to replace your Devil Fruit~~" Gloria, who was too bored, interjected lightly, "You have to undergo heavy training to get used to it in the next few days, or you won't be able to survive without this little guy. At that time, you will be burned to the point where there is not even a slag left."

·
"Replace the devil fruit??" Ace only felt that the more he listened, the more confused he became. They said just now that their devil fruit had left their body, but what would be the ability to replace the devil fruit.

·
"I'm sending Chiyue to you~~" After An Ke finished speaking with a smile, he stretched out his hand to poke his forehead, "You have to treat it well~~ Otherwise, I won't let you go~~"

·
"Chiyue?? Give it to me??" Ace couldn't understand more and more. Although he knew that Encore's two knives were in Encore's body before, how did they come to him now? ?

·
"Well, now Chiyue has replaced your original devil fruit~~ In other words, you are no longer a landlubber. It is no problem to jump into the sea and swim like a normal person~~. And, reappear in the world The Shao Shao fruit will let people confirm that the two of us are dead, so that no one will come to trouble us~~"

·
"????", a large amount of information made Ace's thinking consciousness unable to turn around, listening with question marks in his head and trying to understand.

·
"Really, I asked you to explain it like this, and I can't explain it clearly until dawn." Gloria, who couldn't see it, looked at the smiling Encore with contempt, and then said directly with a grin: "Hey, human beings Brat! Now Miss Ben condescends to give you a brief explanation. You have to listen carefully."

·
First, Miss Host saved you from dying.The price is up to you to guess.

·
Second, the demon sword is already inside your body, as for those who entered it like this, it has already passed anyway, so just ignore it.

·
Third, you are getting younger, and Miss Host is getting older.The reason is that, that, and that, and then you become what you are now.

·
Fourth, you will stay here for the next two years.In order not to go out and be seen by others, the thoughts of the host lady will be wasted!That's it~~" After the concise explanation, Gloria nodded affirmatively, and then said as she floated out of the window: "Miss Ben is going to play for a while, you can do whatever you want.Starting tomorrow, both of us will have to train~~ Oh Ho Ho Ho Ho Hoo~~~~"

·
After watching her laughing and floating away, Anke said to Ace, who was about to petrify because of Gloria's changes, as usual: "In short, the general process is like this, although I know you must still have a lot of doubts. Maybe you want to pay homage to Lord Whitebeard, but now you really have no way to go out to the outside world. Moreover, you still don’t know how to use illusion to change your appearance, and your ability is much lower than before. So go on For a while, you should stay here and practice, Ace."

·
"Cultivation?" After Ace murmured lightly, he suddenly looked at her with wide eyes and panic, "Luffy!! How is Luffy now??"

·
"You're alive and kicking, and he knows you're still alive~ so he's working hard to become stronger now~. Also, the person who trained him is Lord Raleigh, the former vice-captain of One Piece."

·
"Rayleigh?"

·
"Yeah~~" After nodding affirmatively, Encore stood up and said, "Our pirate group will only get together two years later, then Ace will go with me to the Chambord Islands to meet Luffy~~ In other words, we will practice here for the next two years, and we can temporarily avoid the limelight during this period. As for what your decision will be after two years, that is up to you It's decided~~"

·
"Two years...", Ace pursed his lips tightly, and then looked outside at the bright moon that was beginning to set.Now his thoughts are so messed up that he can't even sort out what he should do.

·
"Well, two years..." Anke nodded, then leaned forward and hugged him, but didn't say a word.Even though the process was very dangerous, she still rescued Ace, but she no longer dared to experience such a desperate thing again.That kind of thing... recalling it now makes me tremble with fear...

·
"Encore?" Ace looked suspiciously at the person who suddenly seemed to be in a heavy mood, and after hesitating for a while, he reached out and stroked her long hair, "What's wrong?"

·
"Ace, make an agreement..." Enke buried her head in the crook of his neck, her muffled voice was filled with a touch of fear, "Don't let us go through such horrible things again...During those days, I, And Luffy... I'm very afraid that you will leave us like this..."

·
Listening to the girl's rare and weak words in amazement, Ace reached out and touched her head distressedly, "Sorry, it won't happen in the future..."

·
"Well..." After nodding, Anke raised his head, then clenched his fists to change his previous weakness, and tried to pretend to be vicious: "If there is a next time!! I will kill you myself!! Really! It almost scared me to death!!"

·
"Yes, yes, it's my fault...", Ace gave in to her threat without hesitation, smiling at her cute face pretending to be angry.

·
"It was your fault~" Encore angrily pushed him down on the bed, then covered him with the quilt rudely, "Sleep! I will train you tomorrow!"

·
"But I just woke up..." Ace's words of protest slowly disappeared in those flaming eyes, and then he nodded decisively, "I see."

·
"Very good~~Then I'm going to rest~~~" Seeing that the person who had been worried all this time finally woke up, Enke was very happy.Swinging her long hair, she hopped outside the door, and when the door closed, she smiled and waved to the person lying obediently inside, "Then, good night~~~"

·
"Good night~", Ace's smile disappeared slowly after he couldn't feel her breath, and after a moment of silence, he raised his hands in front of his eyes.The hands that were much smaller than before made him feel a little strange, especially the flame lines on the arms that were spreading to the back of the hands, which seemed to be burning even in the dark.

·
After sighing, he lifted the quilt and got up and walked to the window. The floor-to-ceiling mirror next to the wardrobe along the way fully reflected his current appearance.Inadvertently seeing a strange but familiar look inside, Ace paused, then lifted up and walked to the window.

·
The light outside the window is gradually brightening, and the distant sky has begun to faintly see bright colors.The mist floats quietly in the dense forest, and it is presumptuous in the dark shade of the trees before the sun rises completely.

·
Ace silently looked down at his hands on the window sill, then clenched them subconsciously.In order to save him, Enke must have suffered a lot...

·
This time, it was all because of him that the war broke out, that his father and his friends were hurt like this, and that his younger brother and friends suffered countless tortures...

·
It's all his fault...

·
…………

'I am your brother! ! ! '

…………

·
The words of his idiot brother suddenly sounded in his mind, and the strong figure who rushed forward without regret on the battlefield also began to emerge.

·
…………

'Ace, am I qualified to be your father? '

…………

·
Surrounded by raging flames, the stalwart figure who was covered in desolation asked, kneeling down, he didn't know the expression of the person he respected the most at the moment, but he could still feel the love of being cared for by the elders meaning.

·
…………

'You're Ace, so you can't go back on your word~~~'

…………

·
In the dark hell, the cute girl with a puffy face said this to him, but her eyes were rare nervous and helpless.

………………

·
"..." The clenched fists slowly loosened, and Ace's gloomy expression began to ease.My current life was saved by many people, how can I still feel sorry for myself here...

·
My father, my partner, and the people I cherish have all given up their lives for me, so now that I have finally survived, I have to live well to repay their love.

·
Although the turmoil of the war has gone away, the trauma caused by that war is still aching.It is my own incompetence that makes all those who worry about me feel hopeless, so I can't repeat the same mistakes now...

In the next room, Anke was sitting on the window sill looking at the similar scenery outside, but his mood was completely different from the people in the next room.The worried people finally woke up safely, and they would never leave them again, and this feeling alone made her uncontrollably happy.

·
A gentle breeze blew her long hair, and her lovely face with a slight smile was very peaceful under the slightly bright sky.Looking sideways at the mist in the forest, she unconsciously reached out her hand to caress the red and black lines under the left collarbone, and the slight burning sensation from there made her feel the mood of the person bound to her by the contract.

·
"Ace...", the white fingertips unconsciously exerted force, she looked worriedly at the next window, but found that there was no one standing there, only the white curtains fluttering in the wind.

·
"Don't feel that you owe anything, Ace..." After quietly looking over there for a long time, Anke pulled his clothes and jumped off the window sill.

·
Although it was hard to accept the fact of all this, she believed that Ace would be absolutely fine.

·
After all, that's Ace~~~
