【One Piece】Red-haired Lysia

「053」You have to wait for me

It seems like in a dream.

Pink cherry blossoms bloomed on the branches, and the petals flew several times in the air and landed on the girl's head. She smiled and took them off, put them in the palm of her hand, blew lightly, and the petals flew again. up in the air.

The scene in front of her was incredibly beautiful, as if a thick layer of filters had been put on it. The girl's face could not be seen clearly, only the flamboyant blush could be seen.

Then she came over.

The pure white skirt bloomed into a flower due to her movements and floated over.

She took his hand and ran forward together.

The passage covered with cherry blossoms extends to an invisible distance. Where it meets the sky, pink flowers begin to rain. They fall wantonly on the shoulders or the top of the hair, willful and well-behaved.

She turned around and asked, "Ace, do you like it?"

"what do you like?"

"The feeling of being alive——"

……

"Click" sound.

Ace opened his eyes. There was no light in his cloudy eyes. He blinked again and then raised his head slightly to look at the person.

The weak and warm candle cannot light up this depressing and dark prison, but this light can light up her eyes.

The girl who had just appeared in his dream was now in front of him. Even though there was a cage made of seastone in front of him, he could still clearly see the girl's face.

Ace's eyes suddenly opened wide, and his dry throat kept coughing due to the sudden puff of air.

"Cough...cough...cough...Ya...Yana?" Ace's voice was very shocked.

Lysia felt a little distressed seeing him like this. He must not have taken good care of his body.

His black hair was messy on his head, and his arms, chest, and calves were covered with scars, wounds, and blood that hadn't completely dried up. He looked gray and gray.

"Ace, you didn't eat well, did you?" Lysia smiled bitterly: "Take care of yourself...didn't you promise me last time? Don't keep your word."

Ace pursed his lips, as if it was not an illusion. Lysia in front of him looked so fragile that she could be blown away by a gust of wind.

"Feel sorry."

"What's the use of apologizing? You're always like this." Lesiya sat on the ground, folded her legs and hugged her with her arms, and her white navy cloak hung down to the ground.

"Didn't you promise me that you would live well? What are you doing now, Ace?"

Her accusation was gentle, but it made Ace's heart ache.

"I'm sorry, Yana..." Ace lowered his head, his black hair covering his eyes.

Lysia hit her chin on her arm and huddled together, "Stop apologizing to me all the time, Ace."

"Honestly, I thought it was the smelly old man here again, but I didn't expect it was you..." Ace raised his head to look at her again. Lesiya just sat in front of him, huddled up. If he hadn't been Locked here, I really want to hold her.

I want to hug her desperately, put my chin on the top of her head, want to squeeze her little face, want to interlock with her, want to confess to her, want to tell her my feelings, want to say ten thousand words to her I like you so much and want to be with her forever.

But I can’t do it now.

He cannot say such words now.

"Ace, don't be afraid." Lysia raised her head to meet his gaze and said word by word: "I won't let you die."

Ace was stunned for a moment, and then said anxiously: "What are you going to do?! Yana... don't do anything that will put yourself in danger!"

Lysia gave him a reassuring smile, but suddenly from the corner of her eye, she saw other figures in the cell in the darkness, which seemed to be fish-men.

Lysia suddenly thought of Jinbe who was absent from the Shichibukai.

Lysia was a little unsure, her eyes focused on him, and she asked cautiously: "Are you... Mr. Jinbei?"

"It's rare that Miss Lesia recognizes me." Jinbei raised his head and looked at Lesia. When he saw the cloak she was wearing, he was surprised and said: "So Miss Lesia is already a general? Congratulations."

Jinbe just listened to the conversation between the two for a while and realized that Lysia, a navy, and Ace, a pirate, were bound by each other.

So is the Yana Mr. Ace mentioned before actually the General Lesiya?

Jinbei suddenly showed a surprised expression and realized it later.

"Eh? General..." Ace went to see her.

Lysia stretched out her hand and tugged on her cloak, her eyes dull. She remembered her conversation with Sengoku again, and lowered her head again: "Yes."

But soon it won't be.

Sengoku is letting her go...he is letting her leave the navy.

Lesia didn't understand the reason why Sengoku did this. He was a wise general, but what he said to Lesia in the morning was obviously of no benefit to him, and the beneficiary was Lesia.

She doesn't understand, really doesn't understand.

In her eyes, Warring States and Garp have always been one who is a good person and the other a bad person.

She had never imagined such a development. She had never imagined that she could leave the Navy as an "ordinary person" and not a traitor.

She didn't allow her to think too much about these details. After all, her goal was never to "exit the navy unharmed", but to "rescue Ace safely."

Perhaps Sengoku wanted to use this method to prevent her from saving Ace... But even if this was a very tempting condition, she would still choose to fight against fate.

She knew that she might have no chance of winning, that she might not be able to break through the three generals' siege, and besides, there were still four Shichibukai living in her headquarters.

But she must try, must try.

However, Lesiya was frowning and thinking about how to deal with the situation after returning, but her thoughts were suddenly interrupted.

The pirates in other cells in Imperialton saw Lysia smiling maliciously, with a vulgar and outrageous tone.

"Why is a little girl here? Let's take a look, yo! Is this a general? Hahahahaha... It's so funny. I didn't expect that after I have been locked up here for more than ten years, the navy has given up on itself? Hahahahaha..."

"Don't tell me, this girl has a good figure. Didn't she just bring it to us for fun? What's the fun in wearing a navy uniform? Hahahaha..."

"You also come to my brother's place and take a few steps forward."

……

The ones who spoke were the pirates in several surrounding cells. They dragged their heavy chains to the edge and stared at Lesiya with their wolf-like eyes.

Lysia hated this kind of gaze, and her whole body was filled with gloomy energy. She stood up and turned her head to look impatiently. She was too lazy to find out who said it, and instead directly released a domineering aura that glowed with black and red luster.

In an instant, the scene in front of him paused for a second as if fading, and then there was a rustling sound of falling to the ground, and the few pirates who had spoken just now made no sound.

Jinbei felt this strong and domineering aura and resisted it for a while before barely holding on.

"You kid, you're so rude."

This time it was someone else who spoke, directly behind him.

Lesiya became more and more impatient. When she turned her head, she saw Crocodile's face. She frowned and turned her head away from him. She doesn't like Crocodile, so she doesn't want to have much interaction with him.

Crocodile didn't speak again.

Lysia continued to talk to Ace as if nothing had happened: "Anyway, you must eat well and take care of yourself, you know?"

Ace was a little worried, "Yana, tell me what exactly are you going to do?"

"I won't tell you, Ace." Lysia smiled easily, "You just need to work hard to survive, and leave the rest to me."

Ace just looked at her, her figure outlined by the almost extinguished candlelight, "You too...Luffy too...it's really not easy to worry about."

Lysia heard what he said and responded with a smile: "It's obviously you and Luffy who don't make people worry, but Ace, I won't stop Luffy."

Ace looked at her and she continued: "Because I feel the same as Luffy, I can't tell him 'don't come' as I should. I can't say it out loud. Even though I hope he doesn't get hurt, he won't listen." Anyone’s word, isn’t it?”

"Ace is so happy, so you have to live a good life, okay?" Lesiya said softly: "You have to wait for me, wait for me to come."

Ace was stunned, and when he heard what she said, his eyes suddenly turned red: "What an idiot... one or two people, it doesn't make people worry at all."

Jinbe looked at Ace like this. He was obviously crying and his voice was choked with sobs, but he was smiling happily.

Mr. Ace, this should be the Yana you are talking about.

It’s the “her” you want to convey your feelings to.

There were footsteps approaching from far away, and Lysia said softly: "It seems I have to go, Mr. Ace and Jinbei. I hope we are all 'free' next time we meet."

As soon as she finished speaking, Helena followed Magellan over. The two stood still, and Helena saluted her.

Lysia bent down and picked up the oil lamp. The large cloak covered her whole body with the movement, and her red hair was scattered behind her back, creating a strong contrast.

"Lady Lysia, it's time for you to go back."

"I know."

Lysia responded softly and glanced at Ace one last time. Just as she was about to walk to the elevator, something fell from her pocket and rolled to the back with a "thump".

Lysea looked down and saw that it was the box of the Malva Squid.

Speaking of which, she didn't take this box with her when she went out.

Did you follow him yourself?

Lysia guessed that it might have run from Kidd's ship into her pocket?

Lysia thought for a while, turned around, walked two steps and bent down to pick up the box. The mallow squid in the box looked at her with its eyes again, and then shrank back the moment Lysia came closer.

Putting the box back into her pocket, Lesiya was about to turn around and leave when she caught a glimpse of a familiar golden color from the corner of her eye.

She subconsciously used her sense of sight, narrowed her eyes slightly, and glanced at the cell next to Ace. The next second, Lesiya's eyes met those smiling blue eyes.

Lysia's breath was stagnant, and suddenly she was stunned as if someone had poured cold water on her head.

Sabo couldn't help laughing when he saw her stunned look. A smile suddenly broke out on his face, and he made a sign to her to leave quickly, and his eyes reassured her.

Lysia withdrew her gaze with a complicated expression, and when she completely walked out of Sabo's sight, she glanced at him again, as if to say——

Why are you here too?
