[One Piece] Sabo and I fight for the character

Violet ran back to Dadan's house. Magura happened to see her and hurriedly called her, "Iska, Iska, where have you been?"

She originally wanted to run directly into Ace's room to see if he was there, but she immediately turned around, stopped, turned around and rubbed against Ma Gula, which shocked Ma Gula, "Oh, Iska, you are so enthusiastic. Come over here, what happened?"

"Magura, have you seen Ace? Is he here?" Violet asked anxiously. Her hat had fallen off when she ran over and she was still holding it in her hand. Her long hair was messed up by the wind.

Seeing her anxious look, Magura also hurriedly replied, "Ace? He's not back yet. I didn't see him. Where are you, Dogula?" He turned to look at Dogula, who was already approaching.

"No, I haven't seen him all day today."

"Did something happen?"

Violet pounded her palms anxiously, "He hasn't come back yet. Is he really lost in the cave?" After circling in circles, Dogula saw this and suddenly said, "Cave? I heard that on the mountain There are tigers that come out and live in caves at night. I went up the mountain for a while and heard the sound of tigers."

Magura was shocked, "In this case, Iska, you'd better not go into the forest."

"But Ace hasn't come back yet," Violet said with a pale face. If Ace was really lost in there and Tiger happened to go back, Ace would be found by then.

"Today I went to the forest with Ace. He wanted to go in. I thought it was too deep inside and was afraid of getting lost, so I said I would be guarding outside and could take care of any situation. But I waited for a long time, and Ace didn't I came out and called him, but he didn't respond. It was getting late and I was afraid that something might happen to him, so I came back to see if he was back, but he really didn't come back, so he must still be there."

"Magura, will you come with me to find Ace?"

"Don't worry about Iska. Ace has been running around in the forest since he was a child. I can guarantee that the tiger may not know the way even Ace does. He won't get lost, and he may come back after a while," Dogula said. Waving his hands, he blurted out words that were not consoling, "Besides, Ace is very powerful. He can escape even if he encounters him. Otherwise, where do you think the meat you eat every day comes from?"

"Yes, Dogula is right. It's useless even if you are anxious. Look at how dusty you are. You didn't drink a drop of water when you came back. Let me make you a cup of milk. I bought it when I went to the market last time. A carton of milk, a child can grow taller if he drinks more milk.”

Violet felt a little depressed in her heart, but Ace is also a child, why are you not worried at all?

"Aren't you worried? There are tigers on the mountain, and it's night, so it's pitch black and you can't see anything. Even if Ace is very strong, he's still just a child." Violet said, a little surprised.

Dogura: "Instead of worrying about Ace, we should be more worried about the tiger... Even if there is no tiger, Ace can crawl out of the cave by himself." Dogura said the last sentence in a small voice. .

When Ace was as old as Violet, he had already been running wildly in the mountains. They couldn't even catch up. He always came back before them every time. Besides, no matter what, the combined number of them could They couldn't beat him, even if they didn't use force because they were adults, Ace was obviously not an easy kid to catch.

Over time they just let it go.

Dadan gave an order not to let Violet have too much contact with Ace. With his character, no one can be his friend unless he is willing. It is estimated that he has never really had a friend now.

In order to avoid unnecessary harm, let Violet stay away from him.

"Iska, don't worry. In the past, Ace would stay up all night, and he would come back early the next morning with the water pipe and fall asleep."

Dadan suddenly shouted to the three of them, "Hey you guys, come over and eat quickly. Really, now I even have to shout for food."

"Come on, come on, let's go quickly, Iska, come here quickly." Dogula urged the two of them.

Violet couldn't agree with what they said, and she was surprised, "But Ace hasn't come back yet. You just said there was a tiger in the mountain. What if an accident really happens!"

His fingers were clenched into fists, and his body couldn't stop shaking.

Seeing this, Dogula quickly comforted him, "Iska, please calm down. Ace will really be fine. Maybe you can come back after you go out and see him."

Magura came over and seemed to be planning to say comforting words. Violet pushed Magura hard and said, "Why are you so sure? Ace hasn't come back yet. I told him that he will." You guys have been guarding him and waiting for him to come out, you go and eat, I will go find him by myself."

-

Even Violet herself didn't know why she was so sad. Even though Ace and Magura had known each other for the longest time, she still couldn't feel that they treated Ace as a child, but just like them. of adults.

She regretted pushing Magula a little, because Magula had always been very friendly to her. She rubbed her sore nose and looked at the forest under the night.

Let's apologize to Magura after we find Ace.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Violet carried the wooden stick and walked along the route in her memory, hoping to see Ace coming out when she got there.

On the other side, Ace came back just as Violet stepped out. Today, because he was late, the mission with his partners was postponed for a while. Unexpectedly, it was night. Ace thought that today's harvest would be full. Can't stop being happy.

When he stepped into the door, everyone's eyes were on him, making him feel on pins and needles for a moment.

He narrowed his eyes and looked back, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Magura looked behind him worriedly, "Didn't Iska come back with you?"

How did he know that Iska was with him today. Ace thought, but then he thought that Iska had been chasing him before, and everyone didn't take it seriously.

"Iska went out to look for you, because you haven't come back yet and ran out without eating." Dogula hurriedly explained, "Didn't you meet her? She just went out."

"No."

It's over. A sudden bolt from the blue, Dogula felt that he was not going to die soon.

Looking at Dogula who couldn't be described as anxious, Ace's face tightened and he asked, "What did you say?"

Dogula's eyes were wandering and his voice was trembling, "I, I told her that there were tigers in the mountains. She was afraid that you would be in danger, so she ran back to find you. I thought you would encounter them."

Compared to the sound of Dadan and the others banging dishes in the house, Ace's place was like a vacuum.

Magura looked at Ace, whose face was getting darker and darker, and was too frightened to speak.

"Why didn't you stop her?"

"We talked, but she said she was scared when you didn't come back, and she pushed Magula and ran out." Dogula, who was grabbed by the collar and hung in the air, explained in a loud voice, "She just went out, you If you run faster, you can catch her."

"Let's go find Iska too and call our brothers together." Magura said coquettishly.

Ace let go of Dogula's collar and walked out with a straight face.

That fool!

-

"Ace, where are you?" Violet did not dare to shout too loudly for fear of attracting some animals. But there was no sound at all in the cave. If you look closely, there are animal paw prints on the ground in front of the cave. They probably haven't returned to their nests yet.

After calming down, she looked at the cave in front of her that seemed to be able to cast black shadows. She was a little panicked. She patted her chest and told herself not to be afraid. Holding on to the stick, Violet lifted up the willow branch and walked in.

The cave was not as dark as it looked from the outside. At least Violet could still see the path clearly when she entered. After entering the cave, there was a straight path with no obstacles. She would not miss a corner and put the stick Laying it across her chest, it would give her a sense of security if something unexpected happened.

"Ace, are you here?"

"If you're here, come out. If it's a little later, the tiger will come back according to Dogula."

"Ai..." A chill ran down her back, and Violet felt something above her head was watching her. Her scalp was numb, and her heart was beating like a drum, but she couldn't hear the sound of breathing in her ears. Holding her breath, she did not raise her head, but moved her steps slightly to the left, turned her body to the left, and walked slowly in the other direction.

The line of sight was still following him, but there was no movement. She suddenly relaxed and jumped into another small hole with a whoosh.

When most of the body disappeared into the cave, the line of sight was completely cut off.

The sound of flapping wings made Violet, who was already relaxed, nervous again. She didn't care about the path she was walking on. She raised her head and met a pair of dark eyes. Goosebumps suddenly appeared all over her body, and her back She almost felt cold sweat pouring out, and her legs were so weak that she wanted to kneel down. She didn't care where she walked in from, and started running in the cave headlessly. Having lost her direction, she tripped over a slope and fell straight into There was a small pit, and a burning tingling sensation instantly came from her thigh. She couldn't move and could only lie on her back in the pit, crying helplessly.

"Hey, are you here?" A weak voice came from far away. She really thought she was hallucinating, why did she suddenly hear Ace's voice.

"Iska!" The voice got closer and closer, accompanied by the sound of footsteps. The familiar voice made Violet's originally pale face flush with excitement, "Is it Ace? I'm here! I fell down. Can’t get up.”

The voice on the other side paused, seeming to determine her location, and then immediately ran towards her. Still wearing the same clothes as in the morning, Ace, who was sweating profusely from running, jumped down nervously, "Hey , are you okay? Can you get up?"

Violet cried and shook her head, "I feel like my leg is broken and I can't move."

He was once again in a familiar mess and his face was unkempt. Ace was speechless at this familiar scene.

"Are you an idiot? Why are you running out so late?"

Hearing the seriousness in Ace's words, Violet suddenly felt an indescribable grievance, and the tears that had stopped began to burst again.

"I'm just worried about you. You haven't come back. I'm afraid you'll encounter a tiger. What if you're in danger? Wow, I called you into the cave and you didn't make a sound."

That's because I'm not in it at all. Ace cursed secretly. After entering the hole, he went directly to another hole. There was a small exit inside that could be drilled directly outside.

It can be said that he ran out in the other direction within a minute of entering.

He didn't expect that she was actually waiting for her. Ace looked at Violet with red eyes and tears streaming down his face. His chest felt tight. At the age of ten, he didn't understand that this feeling was called being moved. He just felt that she She's very stupid. It's true to say she's an idiot.

"What kind of danger could I be in? You can tell just by looking at me like this. If you look at you again, it should be you who is in trouble, you idiot!" Ace couldn't help but get angry at her. His face was very anxious and concerned, but in his mouth The words pierced Violet's heart like a hedgehog. She sobbed and whispered, "But I promised you, I will keep my word."

Aston felt a little weak for a moment, and he said softly, "Can you still stand up?"

Touching her thigh, a numb feeling instantly penetrated her whole body. Violet shook her head, "You can't leave. Ace, go find Magura and the others."

"I'll carry you up, give me your hands." Ace squatted down in front of her, putting his hands on his shoulders, "Hurry up, do you want to be your meal here?"

"I don't want to," Violet obediently put her hand up and let Ace hold her up, then climbed out of the pit and carried her out of the hole without making a sound.

The shoulders are obviously not broad, and there are even some bones, but they are surprisingly safe.

Lying on Ace's back, Violet thought.

There is always a feeling that even if you face the tiger Ace, you can handle it with ease.

"Thank you, Ace." Violet whispered in Ace's ear.

"You should thank me properly. Even Dogula knew not to run up the mountain at night, but you actually ran up there. A fool is a fool." Ace said without looking back, but the outline of his ears appeared. All red.

The irritating words appeared again, but at this moment, Violet felt like it should be like this, as if Ace didn't say such things, he wouldn't be like Ace.

Why does it feel like you are swearing? Forget it, it’s just——

"You called me an idiot again, damn Ace!"
