A bright smile appeared on Annie's face, regardless of the mottled blood stains and dark red blood scabs on her body, she stretched out her hands towards everyone.

"We are the protagonist group! Everyone!"

"So, we will never lose!"

"Protagonist group? Protagonist on the sea? I agree!"

"I also agree with this title!"

"That's right! We are the protagonists! The protagonists who win to the end and stand at the end!"

"In this case, we have to let them admire the protagonist's style. My 8000 subordinates are on standby at any time!"

"It feels so peaceful to have you by my side!"

"Sister Robin! Don't worry! Your knight will always protect you!"

"Woo~ I~ I will definitely protect everyone!"

"I want to be the bravest man on the sea!"

"As long as my friends are together, my blood will always boil~Ah! I am a skeleton, but in fact I have no blood at all~yohohoho~"

"It's time to show that bastard some color!"

"That's right! I am the man who is going to become the Pirate King soon! Those who stand in the way! I will beat them all away!"

Everyone laughed and hugged each other, carefully surrounding Anne in the center.

Annie leaned gently into Sauron's arms and raised her hands to hook his neck.

She placed a passionate kiss on his forehead.

Gentle, pious, and precious.

Zoro was shocked by her sudden movement and did not dare to look at the teasing eyes of his companions around him. The tips of his ears burned red.

"Everyone, I love you."

"I love you all too!"

"I also!"

"And I!"

"Yo ho ho, I love you too!"

"Ah, young people are so straightforward. They talk about love. It's really embarrassing~"

"Boss Jinbei, don't you love me?"

"Ahem ~ Of course! I love it!"

"Hehe~ Meili loves you too!"

"Nami-san, Sister Robin, Annie ~ I love you!"

"Sanji, what about us?"

"Ah~ you guys~"

"Okay, I'll love you for a while too!"

"scoff~"

"Green algae head! What do you mean!

"Means nothing!"

"What do you mean by nothing?"

"Hehe~"

The regrouped Straw Hats once again walked toward the turbulent battlefield not far away, with swords and swords flashing.

Zoro, who was walking next to Luffy in the front, suddenly stopped, and the uneasy feeling came to his heart again.

He turned around almost subconsciously, and what he saw was Anne, who was a few steps behind them, raising her wand to everyone.

There was a brief blank in the brain, and the whining sound echoed in the ears for a long time.

The heartbeat accelerated suddenly, as heavy as a drum.

One after another, it hit the chest hard, as if it was about to tear the skin and jump out.

"do not want!"

As soon as the two shrill sounds came out, that extremely familiar and extremely gentle voice exploded in my ears like thunder on a sunny day!

【Everything is forgotten】

Her consciousness fell into a trance, and the memories about her flashed past her eyes like a marquee, and then were forcibly peeled away from her mind bit by bit.

Zoro stretched out his right hand and pressed his temple, stumbling toward Annie.

"Annie! No!"

"Zoron?"

Luffy turned around in confusion.

"what happened?"

Sanji next to him also asked.

"Zoro, who are you calling?"

"Annie?"

Robin frowned and said softly.

"What a familiar name."

His feet staggered, and Zoro, who was in a daze, fell uncontrollably.

"Zoron?"

Franky reached out to support him.

"what happened to you?"

He shook his head violently, and when he raised his head again, he could no longer remember what he had just planned to do.

He used his strength to stand up and glanced at the place where he had just pounced.

Empty.

"Didn't the last few battles just hurt your brain?"

Usopp held his chin up as if thinking deeply.

"Hey! Green algae head? Is that okay?"

"Huh? Are you talking about yourself?"

Suppressing the inexplicable dull pain in his heart, Zoro clenched the knife in his hand and glanced at Sanji with great dissatisfaction.

"scoff~"

"Follow me if you're okay. Don't get beaten too badly later."

"Worry about yourself!"

"What a childish man!"

"Who said no!"

A group of people were fighting but moving firmly towards the battlefield ahead.

Behind him, the invisible Annie looked at the backs of a group of people, with a big curve on her lips.

"Does it have to be like this?"

Dorag appeared beside her at some point.

Anne removed the invisibility spell and whispered softly.

"Uncle Dorag, I'll leave the rest to you."

"Annie, maybe we have another way."

Dolag frowned and looked at her, his usually cold and resolute expression a little more hesitant.

Annie shook her head slightly.

"Didn't you see it too?"

"Among those thousands of futures, our chances of success are extremely slim."

"If I continue as planned, the teacher will be the next person to leave me."

Anne's deep gaze fell on the figure wearing armor in the distance.

"The scene before me is already the best result after my hard work."

"But, all of them love you."

"No one wants to..."

"It's because they all love me that I made this decision."

She raised her head and smiled at Dolag.

"As early as the day we left Fish-Man Island, I already knew my ending."

"I have been mentally preparing for a long time, and now I have no regrets."

Her fingertips unconsciously touched the ring on her middle finger, and she retracted her hand as if she had been burned.

"Since ancient times, all revolutionaries have sacrificed their lives without shedding blood."

"Uncle Dolag, I will leave Higali to you from now on."

"Don't let all our years of hard work go to waste."

Dorag looked at the little girl in front of him who was as old as his son, and the sourness in his heart burst out.

But precisely because they share the same goals, he can understand Anne's choice better than anyone else.

If it had been him, he would have done the same without hesitation and risking his own life.

"Boom!"

There was another loud noise in the sky.

Powerful forces were gathering in mid-air, and a sudden chaotic climate enveloped the entire battlefield.

Anne smiled miserably.

"Look, 'she' is going to kill everyone in front of her, even at the cost of exploding her body.

Dolag's expression changed.

He had seen Anne's memory in the pensieve, and naturally knew what would happen next.

"Go save people!"

Annie spoke calmly.

"If something happens to Teacher and the others, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave without peace of mind."

Dorag looked at her deeply.

He gently raised his right hand and rubbed the top of her hair.

"I remember everything you said."

"The sun we are looking forward to will definitely come."
