good brother

The celebrations after the war lasted for several days, and one morning after that.

Angor's injury has healed a lot now. Although he still hasn't returned to his peak state, it doesn't matter if he uses his abilities or anything.

So now, when he heard that the Shandia were going to salvage the golden bell, he went to help without hesitation.

"Ah, isn't this from Qinghai?"

The elder of Shandora saw Angel walking over with a smile, and greeted him with some surprise.

"Is the injury all right?"

"Well, it's almost ready, thank you for your concern."

Angel rolled up his sleeves.

"It looks like you need help."

"Ah, no, no."

A certain Sandia warrior waved his hands again and again.

"You have all helped us so much, how dare you..."

"Anyway, when I'm idle, I'm idle."

Angel had already moved to the shore at this time, looking at the golden clock that had exposed a corner from the sea of ​​clouds.

"Well, it looks pretty heavy."

Angel touched his chin, but he was not afraid.

With a thought, a circle of wings grew around the golden seed, scaring some onlookers almost loosening the thin vines in their hands.

"Well, almost."

Just need some initial motivation.

Angel turned around and looked at those people.

"I'll pull on the count of three."

"one two Three!"

"what!"

"It's spectacular up close."

Angel looked at the giant clock that was covered with vines and full of sense of age.

"Then……"

All Shandia looked in awe at the huge ashlar set in gold.

"Historical text."

"What the hell is written on it?"

"I don't know, but knowing it may not be a good thing..."

"Keep the truth in your heart and keep your mouth shut."

"We are the writers of history, with the bells of the Great Clock Tower."

"Yo, Robin."

Angel turned around and waved to Robin without any surprise.

"Sure enough, I knew you would come."

"Well, after all, it is a rare historical text."

Robin stepped forward, reading the words on the stone, feeling a little nervous.

Could it be the piece I'm looking for...

No, not yet.

She turned around in disappointment, her eyes filled with confusion.

"What did you write?"

Angel asked with a smile.

"About the ancient weapon Sea King."

Robin was not interested in ancient weapons at all, and his face was full of indifference.

"I see why you don't feel very happy."

Angel folded his arms and smiled.

"Because this is not the historical text I want."

Robin turned his head slightly and explained to Angel.

"The historical text you want?"

"It is the historical text that records the blank 100-year history."

Robin looked at the text of history behind him with some annoyance.

"Instead of this kind of record about ancient weapons..."

"But, Robin."

Angel pretended to be puzzled.

"Aren't ancient weapons part of the blank 100 years?"

"Eh?"

Hearing this statement for the first time, Robin was obviously stunned, but seeing her like this, Angel smiled and pointed to the golden clock next to him.

"There seems to be something written here."

Following Angel's pointing, Robin saw the unexpected text.

"We take this article to the end of the world, Pirate Gol D. Roger!"

"Ah, it turned out to be the One Piece."

Angel raised his eyebrows.

"This is big news, but unfortunately it should be kept secret."

"I see, the real historical text is..."

Robin smiled in relief, and once again opened his eyes with dreams and hopes.

"Connecting each piece of historical text together is the real historical text."

Just like what Angel said, each piece of text records a part of that 100 years, whether it is ancient weapons or history, only when combined together can the blank 100 years reappear in the world.

"Maybe you have the talent to be a scholar, Angel-san."

Robin smiled at Angel, with a hint of gratitude in his smile.

"How is it possible? I just fight hard, and I'm not interested in reading or anything."

With that said, Angel went straight to the direction of the ruins, and waved with his back to Robin.

"I'm going to find Luffy and the others first, and you should come back soon, you should be sailing."

After all, they said they were going to steal the treasure last night.

Afterwards, under various misunderstandings and coincidences, Luffy and his party gave up the gift from the people of Sky Island—a super huge gold pillar, carrying many gold products on their backs, and fled away after being chased by the people of Sky Island.

Angel and Robin, who knew the whole story, could only smile at each other, and said nothing in a tacit understanding.

Along the way, everyone was arguing and planning how to draw the money, but Angel, who was familiar with the plot, suddenly felt shocked and turned to look at Mei Li's lamb's head.

Merry...has that time come yet...

"Everyone! It's here!"

Conis, who was standing on the Crow, waved to everyone.

"The end of the cloud!"

"Hey, are you leaving already?"

Luffy, who was still so excited just now, suddenly became wilted, lying on Meili's bow with a depressed expression on his face.

"Can we still come here?"

"If there were a permanent pointer."

Angel came over and patted his head.

"If you want to come, I will bring you."

"Really?"

Luffy jumped up all of a sudden, and looked at Angel with a smile.

"It's a deal! Next time Angel brings us up, oh! It's better to bring Ace! He will definitely like Sky Island very much!"

"Well, after all, you are all the same kind of people."

Angel folded his arms and turned to look at the still faintly visible sky island.

"It's really worth looking forward to."

"Hey, how do we go down to Qinghai?"

Usopp asked.

"The altitude difference is 7000 meters!"

"Nami, record pointer."

Angor crossed his hips and tilted his head to look at Nami.

"Well, it's already saved."

Nami lowered her head in confirmation.

"At 1 o'clock."

"I see."

Angel smiled and stretched out his hands, while Meili also spread her wings at the same time.

"Flying or something is easy for me!"

"Haha, yes! We have Angel!"

Luffy walked to the side of the boat with a smile, and waved to Conis and his daughter.

"Goodbye! Cornis! And Uncle! Take care!"

"You too! Haha!"

Then, the moment Meili left the sea of ​​clouds.

"Boom--!"

"The sound of the golden bell."

Angel closed his eyes, enjoying the wonderful sound.

"No matter how many times I listen to it, I feel incomparable."

"We'll be back, Angel."

Luffy raised his head and looked at the cumulus cloud that was gradually going away, but the bell in his ear did not weaken at all.

"Ah."

Angel also turned his head, looking in the direction of the miracle.

"Following the bell, we can return to Sky Island again."

"We're right here! 』

"This bell is our signpost!"

"Hee hee! That's right!"

Luffy pressed his hat and sat cross-legged on the bow of the Meili.

"What will the next island look like? Angel!"

"I'm sure you won't be disappointed!"

Through the clouds, looking at Qinghai below.

"This is a great route!"

The author has something to say:

Small Theater (The story of Ace ten years ago and Ace ten years later~)

scene ten years ago

"Ahh! Ace exploded!"

"Don't talk stupid! How can people explode for no reason!"

Ace was still sitting in a puff of white smoke at this time and didn't understand what happened, but the voice of the person who spoke just now sounded familiar.

"Ace! Are you okay?"

A white and tender hand found Ace's hand through the white mist, and at this time a gust of wind blew through, the smoke cleared away, and the two people holding hands looked at each other.

"Hey! Who are you! Where is Ace!"

When Luffy saw that the person who appeared was a stranger, he raised the steel pipe and looked at him vigilantly without saying a word, while Angel was stunned.

Fuck!Isn't this the grown-up Ace!

What's the situation? !

"You are... Angel and Luffy?!"

Ace couldn't help pinching Angel's hand, which was much smaller than his, and looked around curiously.

"This is Corbo Mountain?! Why did I go back in time?"

"What are you talking about! Let Angor go!"

"Wait Luffy! He's Ace!"

Angel's cry made Luffy stagger in fright, and then he opened his cute big eyes and looked at Ace.

"Ace?"

"Well, it's me."

Ace rubbed Luffy's head with a smile, and Luffy showed a surprised expression.

"Ace has never touched my head so gently!"

"...Ahaha, right?"

Ace withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and his childhood memories gradually came back.

Indeed, when he was young, for various reasons, he always didn't like to show his sincerity...

"By the way, what time is it now?"

"The sea calendar is 1512, and I'm 15 years old."

Angel also looked at Ace curiously, with a hint of nervous expectation in his heart.

"What about you?"

"I'm 22, oh, is that right, ten years ago... Wait, Angel?!"

Ace looked at Angel's suddenly red eyes in surprise, and was at a loss.

"What's wrong, suddenly..."

"Ah, Ace made Angor cry?"

Luffy tilted his head.

Although he felt that this big Ace was different from the Ace he was familiar with, his intuition told him that this was Ace.

"I didn't cry!"

Angel wiped his eyes quickly, then raised his head and looked at Ace with a smile, although the circles of his eyes were still red.

Suddenly, he rushed into Ace's arms, hitting Ace with chest tightness.

"Ace, Ace..."

Angel put his arms around Ace's neck and buried his face in Ace's chest.

Thank you, thank you for being alive, thank you for living to be 22.

"Angel..."

Ace was still a little confused, so he hugged Angel's slender waist back.

Well, I have to say something to make Angel happy.

"Ah! That's right!"

Ace grabbed Angor's shoulder and looked into his eyes excitedly.

"Angel! Sa..."

"Oh!"

There was a puff of white smoke suddenly rising, and when it cleared away, the 12-year-old Ace and Angel looked confused together.

What just happened? !
