[One Piece] Uncrowned King

With Ace on board, Teresa finally opened a package that had been lingering in her heart, which was an explanation of what she had been thinking about for a long time.Because the youngest Ace on board is only 17 years old, and he is still Roger's child, Teresa has devoted as much love and care to him as Heinuoer, and the hearty kid is a little bit overwhelmed by the whole day. flattered.

After getting along for more than a year, Teresa still didn't tell Ace about Roger and Lujiu. Will giggle around the topic.Teresa knew that he was escaping. Now that he was immature in experience and mood, he did not have the ability to bear everything bravely.That being the case, she didn't say much, anyway, one day, Roger and Lu Jiu's love for him could be conveyed to him.

Although I don't know if she can wait until then...

After having Ace on board, the Moby Dick was more energetic than before. Although they had to wipe the asses of the boys who got into trouble every time, Newgate and Teresa were happy with it.Such a relaxing time has passed in a hurry for more than a year. During this time, Teresa and Newgate’s lives have not changed much. The only thing that has changed is the time Teresa stayed with Nancy. One more month.However, it's not that Nancy's health has deteriorated. In fact, since the old man lived in seclusion on the island where he and his wife had honeymooned back then, he has been immersed in memories all the time, and he has become a little more relieved.Instead of frowning, he often shows nostalgic smiles, and his daughter and granddaughter come to accompany him from time to time, which makes the old man's body stronger and stronger.Under such circumstances, it was Teresa herself who had the problem...

Today is the day when the captain of the fourth division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Sage, came back. Not only did he win a big victory against the enemy, but he also brought a devil fruit whose name is not yet known. To celebrate his return, the whole ship was carnival .Early in the morning, Newgate happily went to the deck to celebrate with the children, while Teresa stayed in the room to make the bed and wash up.Folding the quilt into a neat shape and placing it in the corner, Teresa straightened up, feeling dizzy for a while. It felt like standing still while the whole world was turning. It was not until a few seconds later that the dizziness gradually eased. .With a low sigh, Teresa, who had regained her strength, bent down and sat down on the folded bed again, to calm the dullness and nausea in her chest.But as soon as the discomfort subsided, what followed was the sharp pain that seemed to be mingled together.

Putting her hand on her wrist, Teresa's face showed a trace of sadness. Although she had tried her best to pay attention to her body, when she was young, she used her own body as an experiment several times in order to treat patients well. It's fundamentally damaged.Some root causes are not obvious at ordinary times, but when they get old, they come out crazily to gain a sense of presence, and it is very difficult for Teresa to hide it.

Putting her hands down from her wrists, Teresa stared blankly at the door in front of her, and said with a wry smile: "I always tell Newgate, blame him for not caring about my body. But... Maybe I am the one who takes the first step." ..." She closed her eyes, as long as she thought about what would happen when she died, her heart ached.And... Dad's health has just recovered, if he leaves at this time... it may be difficult for him to survive.

And Newgate...the two of them have been together for decades, and Teresa knows him well. Although this man seems to be omnipotent and strong, he cherishes his family very much.If he dies, it will also hit him, and may even damage his body.But in the current situation, the Navy has long been eyeing the Four Emperors, and Newgate must not make any mistakes.He is seriously ill now, let alone suffer any harm... Otherwise, not only will his lifespan be exhausted, even the Navy Headquarters will not let this pirate who has supported an era have a good end, right? .

No matter what, I have to go on... Thinking of this, Teresa threw the medicine bottle that could relieve pain but reduce life through the window.He gritted his teeth and endured the colic pain in his body, and after he subsided, he washed his face with hot water, making his cheeks reddish before walking out the door.As soon as she walked outside, she was startled by Sachi who suddenly ran over.

The latter shook the devil fruit and said, "Mom! Look at the spoils!" After finishing speaking, he showed off the dark devil fruit in front of Teresa, and said triumphantly, "You can tell by the color, this must be Great fruit, this time I made a lot of money!" After finishing speaking, he challenged Ace, "Maybe it's also a natural one!"

"..." Startled, Teresa took a breath, stretched out her hand and touched the peel, which didn't have any temperature, and it felt a little moist to the touch, and said, "Aren't you going to eat it?" As soon as she finished speaking, the person in the corner Honest Tiki tensed his body, but this slight change in him did not attract anyone's attention.

Sage pondered for a while, stretched out his hand to scratch his cheek, and said, "Well, I don't want to eat it yet, anyway, it won't spoil, so I'll just put it away, or take it out for a change when I don't have money to spend. "

After he finished speaking, Tiki's face in the corner returned to normal, but this time Ace noticed his abnormality, and said, "Tiki~! What's wrong with you?"

Tiqi's body trembled, he stretched out his hands to scratch his messy hair, showed a simple and honest smile, and said: "No, it's nothing, it's just that I drank a little too much wine, and now I'm in a panic. I won't disturb your good mood, I will Go to the toilet first..." After finishing speaking, he cried and hurriedly walked towards the toilet.

"Haha, go ahead, pee your pants carefully." Ace waved his hand indifferently, and after Tiki left, he leaned in front of Sage again and said, "This color is not as good-looking as my Shaosha fruit, It seems that I haven’t seen it in the fruit illustration..." Speaking of the last time I saw the devil fruit illustration on the boat, it seems that there is a page missing.

"That's why it's the rarest one, it must be valuable!!" Sach said proudly.

"Are you sure you don't want to eat it? It would be a pity to sell it. I want to see what kind of ability it is." Ace asked curiously.

"Forget it, I'm not interested in becoming a fruit-capable user. There are quite a few brothers on board." He patted Ace on the shoulder and said with a pure smile, "Besides, if I become If you are a capable person, who will come to the sea to save you landlubbers in the future! Last time you fell, I also caught it!" He held up the fruit and said, "If anyone is interested, just give it to him. It's just a fruit."

It's a pity that the people who should have heard his words the most didn't hear them...
