[One Piece] Mindless and unhappy

As Ace said, he's really good at grilling meat.

They didn't carry many condiments, but the barbecue he made with these simple things was really good. The barbecue was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It had obviously been roasted for a long time but it didn't have a very woody texture. Ace might have put some in it. Honey relieves greasiness and has a very refreshing taste.

"I guess this barbeque store will be very popular." After enjoying the food, she relaxed her body, put her hands on her sides, and leaned back to support herself.

The portion of Rohouhu is not small, and a lot of barbecue is cooked. Haiyuan Ai doesn't have a big appetite. After eating, he watched Ace clean up the remaining meat. He stuffed his mouth full. After hearing this, he swallowed it hard. Meat in the mouth: "It's impossible to open a shop. At that time, Luffy liked to eat, so he learned to barbecue."

"Last time I saw Luffy trying so hard to save you," Haibara Ai thought about the part she saw. Ever since Luffy appeared, no matter who was in front of him, everyone was rushing forward with the goal of saving Ai. Si, "You two have such a good relationship."

"We are brothers. Xiao Ai, do you have any brothers or sisters?" Ace asked.

...brothers and sisters?

Haihara Ai was distracted for a moment. Her sister was a gentle and kind person.

"...I once had a sister who loved me very much." She sacrificed her life in order to get me out of the devil's nest of the organization.

Of course, Ace didn't know what she meant, and just thought it was the "Ai Haibara" he had met before.

"Your sister looks a lot like you."

Thinking of her sister, Haihara Ai suddenly lost interest in continuing the conversation and changed the topic to training.

"Dad, do you have any suggestions for the next training?"

Ace glanced at her as if he could tell she was changing the subject.

"Next, I will try my best to live on this island without using the power of the fruit. You must always stay informed. All future warnings will be handed over to you."

He thought about what he had seen before, and said to Haiyuan Ai: "After that, you can train with me. We have also tried tricks without using fruits and weapons. How about it?"

Haibara Ai has no objection to this. The increase in combat power is a good thing for her, and she can have enough strength to protect herself, but she has no direction in this regard. She simply follows Ace's arrangement, and she will not forget her own duty. Still the ship's doctor: "Yes, but I need to spare two hours every day to review medical things. At the same time, I will also see if there are any special plants that can be studied on this island."

The two of them reached an agreement on the special training. After having a barbecue on the first day, they simply packed up and went into the tent to rest in preparation for the start of the special training tomorrow.

Haiyuan Ai was lying in the tent looking at the canopy with a blank look in her eyes. In fact, she rarely had this kind of experience of camping in the wild.

She met Whitebeard, Margo, Shiva, Ace and Little Oz in the new world. She thought that after so many years, she could start a new life calmly with her new "family", but today she just mentioned When I got to my sister, my heart began to feel clogged.

——She still misses everything in the past strongly.

Her parents whose faces were blurred in her childhood, the tutor who took her to study when she skipped grades, her sister who chose to take risks to complete the mission in order to get her out of the organization, and finally lost her life, Dr. Ali who took her in, and the group of people who knew her... The children who take care of her mood, and the little detective who is confident and responsible, with a strong sense of justice.

She thought she didn't like to recall the past that much, but at this moment, she didn't know if it was because she suddenly thought of her sister. The little girl who was so weak that she could only rely on her sister to protect her was back again.

She obviously has a new place that she recognizes as "home", but the emptiness like duckweed still surrounds her tightly.

...Where do you belong?

Hui Yuan Ai turned sideways and huddled up in a ball. This was not the first time she felt so uneasy, but her fear was particularly serious now.

In the past, the place called "home" was the place where her parents were. Later, "home" was the place where she and her sister depended on each other. After that, it was a life of wandering. Until now, after calling Whitebeard "Daddy", she regained possession of it. The warmth of home.

Will you leave again? Can you really stay here forever?

Except when she first came here, she often couldn't sleep because of this uneasiness, but this was the first time she had insomnia in the past two years. She turned over, feeling sleepy and could only open her eyes and relax.

Suddenly there was the sound of fabric rubbing together outside the tent, and she was just about to be alert when she heard Ace's voice.

"Can't sleep?"

She opened the tent and saw Ace sitting in her tent, but he had already opened the tent curtain and looked in her direction.

"...did it wake you up?"

Ace shook his head, stood up, poured her a glass of warm water, and asked again.

"You're not used to it, so you can't sleep?"

Hui Yuan Ai took a sip of warm water and said, "I just miss home."

Ace sat cross-legged at the entrance of his tent, put his hands behind his head, and lay back in the tent.

"I used to often wonder if I didn't have a home." He imitated Haihara Ai and stared at the top of the tent, "Especially when I saw parents from other families with their children in the town."

"I also wonder if this devil's bloodline shouldn't exist. If I didn't exist, then my mother should be alive and well."

"But when I saw Luffy and Dad rushing towards me, I suddenly didn't expect so much. I am so lucky that my mother gave me life, and I am also lucky to have a family like you, no matter what my ending is at that time No matter what, I feel that my life is meaningful.”

These words were completely different from what Ace usually showed. He was usually enthusiastic and confident. Haihara Ai had also envied his shaggy vitality and passion. She sat up straight and looked at the tent opposite.

Ace could hear her movements, as if he could feel her doubts, and there was a smile in her voice.

"When I was a child, I was probably not the kind of cheerful child. I was the kind of nuisance that my parents hated. Later, when I had a brother, I felt that I was the older brother and I had to take good care of him. Later, when I met my father, he said that no matter what Who, we are all children of the sea, and the sea will accept every child."

"So we all became daddy's children." Haihara Ai could even think of the casual way daddy spoke, "But I never thought that you yourself don't recognize your own bloodline."

Ace shrugged and said, "I only recognize Dad."

"I don't mean to excuse Goldo Roger." Haibara lamented, "But as a man that Dad also admits, maybe you just don't want to understand."

Ace tilted his head, obviously not wanting to hear the name.

"Lieutenant General Garp knows that you are his son, but he still hides your life experience to protect you when you grow up. I think the person who entrusted you to him back then was either your father or your mother."

Although Ace still frowned, he finally spoke: "...it was the person who found the old man. The old man saw my mother for the first time when I was born." He frowned even more tightly, "But It’s because of his identity that my mother—"

His voice paused, and his eyebrows became a little more dejected.

"My mother died not just because of him, but also because of me."

Haibara Ai had no intention of poking his sore feet, but Ace's hatred for Goldo Roger became his shackles to himself.

——Fundamentally denied his father's bloodline, and in some ways, he also denied himself.

"I asked a lot of people what it would be like if Goldo Roger had children, before I hated him."

After hearing Ace's words, Haihara Ai knew what probably happened.

"Everyone thinks he shouldn't have a child. The devil is dead, so the devil's bloodline should be cut off. No one expects my existence except my mother, and my mother left because of me."

She pinched her palms and touched the candy that Ace had given her a while ago from her clothes pocket. She did not hand it directly to Ace's hand, but only placed it in front of his tent, where she could reach it by raising her hand.

"When a group expresses a suspicion, it will immediately become an ironclad evidence. 1 And when Goldo Roger was defined as a sin by the government, the government only needed to repeatedly publicize that he was a criminal, and then most people Everyone will think that he is heinous." Haiyuan Ai said, "I once read a saying: When an idea is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it will gain overwhelming power, resist all opposition, and produce a series of results. 2. In order to weaken Haiyuan, the government The thief force has succeeded in promoting the theory that One Piece is guilty, so no ordinary people will say that he is innocent, and once he does, he will become a criminal."

"Gordo Roger was finally pushed to the execution stand, but he still started the era of pirates, so the government needs to kill the chicken again to scare the monkeys to curb the development of pirates, and you, the child of the former Pirate King, are the best one" chicken'."

After Hui Yuan Ai finished speaking, he suddenly changed the question: "Have you ever specifically killed anyone?"

Ace was stunned for a moment by what she said. When he heard this question, he shook his head in confusion and said, "Just defeat him."

"In that case, I am a devil with so much blood on my hands."

? !

Ace was shocked. He couldn't quite figure out what Haihara Ai's words meant.

Seeing his doubts, Huiyuan Ai explained: "I don't ask the source, but I didn't mean to hide it from him. He knows."

"But how old are you?" Ace was really shocked.

"I said from the beginning that I am not a child." Haiyuan Ai raised his eyebrows, "I know your life experience, secret exchange."

"I am twenty-one years old, brother Ace."
