good brother

"Ah, ah, I finally cried."

Angel smiled and scratched Ace's palm.

"Do you feel better~"

"Angel..."

Ace's voice trembled, trying not to cry.

"sorry!"

Sorry to make you worry; sorry to let you down; sorry to make you sad.

So, don't try to save me.

I don't deserve your sacrifice!

"Idiot, you should say 'I'm not crying! That's sand in my eye!' That's it."

Angel began to preach with a look of hatred for iron and steel, and then laughed himself first.

"Okay, okay, this can be regarded as a proof that you have grown up, and you are finally honest."

Withdrawing his hand from Ace's, Angel stood up and patted Ace's head through the hat.

"People in their 20s, don't cry."

At this time, the medical soldiers had simply treated Ace's injuries, and Blackbeard's side had already negotiated and prepared to board the ship. Lieutenant General Mole turned his head and looked at Angel.

"Major General Angel."

"Ah, I see."

Angel replied lightly, pulled out the wooden stake inserted in the ground, and pulled Ace up from the ground.

At this moment, no matter how much Ace hides and avoids, he will inevitably look at Angor.

Just as imagined, those silver eyes always had the warmest radiance when facing him.

"Ah, you're still crying."

Angel looked at Ace's red eyes streaming tears, and smiled helplessly. Before Ace could react, he grabbed the brim of his hat and rubbed his face.

"Do you want the navy to see your jokes? Hold your head high, big pirate."

"Could it be that it's shameful for you to fight with all your strength for the dignity of Whitebeard?"

Salty tears stained the brim of the leather hat, and Ace wiped away all the tear stains with gentle strokes on his forehead.

Angel, how can I, Eshold, receive such meticulous care and care from you.

Although I may not have much time, but being able to stay by the side of the person I love the most in the last time is also a kind of fulfillment.

Ace smiled wryly, and after Angor helped him straighten his hat, he slowly puffed up his chest and looked straight into Angor's eyes.

"it is good."

Angor nodded, took Ace's arm, and strode onto the naval warship under the watchful eyes of the navy.

After boarding the warship, Angel took Ace to the temporary cell at the bottom of the warship under the supervision of several sailors who said they were accompanying him.

"I... can only accompany you here first."

Angel forced a smile, turned his back to Ace and opened the cell door.

"Be patient, it will take three days to get to Impel Prison."

"I see."

Ace said something lightly, walked into the prison, sat on the hard bed, turned his head and smiled at Angel.

"Ace..."

Angel squeezed his fists, took a deep breath, and said goodbye to Ace with a smile.

"I'll come back later."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Ace's answer, he quickly left the bottom floor and returned to his own room.

With a click, the door was locked from the inside, Angor leaned against the door with his head up, and slumped to the ground without strength.

"Ace..."

Some long bangs covered the eyes, and the quiet and unoccupied space allowed Angel to vent his suppressed emotions for too long.

Closing his eyes, Ace's scarred body, hands restrained by handcuffs, and eyes of guilt and self-blame, kept appearing in front of Angel.

Obviously I have seen countless scenes in my previous life, and I started to make mental preparations when I first came to this world, but why, why at this moment, I still feel distressed and want to rush up immediately, hold Ace and cry bitterly once!

God knows how much he wanted to rush to Ace when he saw that his life was stuck burning; God knows how much he wanted to shoot him in the head when he saw Blackbeard; God knows how he wanted to see Ace helpless When he was handcuffed on the ground, he wanted to turn his face against the navy immediately and tell Ace that he would always protect him.

However, he can't.

Raising his hand to cover his face, tightly clenched the bangs between his fingers, Angel clenched his teeth, and stifled his crying again.

"...how can I repair—!"

The painful roar echoed in the small space, and Angor's chest heaved violently a few times. After a while, as Angor let out a long breath, everything returned to calm.

The hand covering the face pushed up the bangs, and Angel's eyes came into the sky again.

Now, there was no trace of confusion and hesitation in those eyes.

No matter how painful it is now, it is meaningless, and there must be no mistakes now.

As long as you complete the plan step by step, as long as you are patient for the last period of time.

Regardless of the outcome, it will all end.

Ace, will survive, will survive.

The cell on the lowest floor of the warship has no windows, and the guarding soldiers were obviously warned by their superiors, so they didn't make a sound. Now Ace doesn't even know how long the time has passed, so he can only tilt his head against the wall and listen to the other side of the wall. There was the sound of ocean currents.

Just thinking about the feeling of riding the wind and waves on the sea, even in this case, makes Ace smile happily.

Unfortunately, I can only think about it.

He is no longer free.

However, fortunately, Angel was by his side during the last period.

If I'm always listless, Angel will be worried.

Angel's appearance must be pretending to be strong, to make me feel better, and I can't live up to Angel's wishes.

Sure enough, don't think about those annoying things first.

At this moment, Ace heard the sound of the door leading to this floor being opened.

"You have 10 minutes, Major General Angell."

"I see."

"Angel?"

Hearing the name, Ace jumped off the bed, ran to the fence and squeezed hard, wanting to see the situation at the end of the long corridor.

So, when Angel approached, he saw Ace whose face was about to be squeezed out of shape.

"what are you doing……"

Angel smiled helplessly, walked over, put the plate full of exquisite dishes on the ground, and sat down.

"Sit me down."

"It's time for dinner already?"

Ace sat in the fence facing Angel, with two fence marks on his handsome face.

"Not yet, it's only after ten o'clock, but you must have not eaten breakfast, you must be starving, big eater."

Angel picked up a plate with a spoonful of rice, and passed it to Ace's mouth through the gap between the bars.

"what."

"Ah-hmm."

Ace chewed the delicious fried rice, narrowing his eyes in enjoyment.

"This was made by Angel, the taste hasn't changed for so many years."

"Yes."

Angel took another spoonful of rice.

"By the way, what's the matter with you? When I left just now, I had a sad face. Why do you become the usual stupid now?"

"My appearance is of no use except to put us both in a bad mood."

Ace's smile was a bit bitter, which made Angel feel distressed again.

"Wow, it feels like I don't even know you."

Angor handed over a spoonful of rice again.

"To be able to think so clearly on this matter, I really have grown up, and I am no longer a brat."

Ace ate obediently, but suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a bracelet on Angel's wrist.

"... Angel..."

Ace's voice trembled.

"what is that…?"

"this?"

Angel shook his wrist frankly.

"Hailoushi's bracelet."

Angel smiled at Ace.

"After all, you are my favorite brother. It's normal to be suspected."

"Sure enough... because I..."

Ace began to blame himself again.

He could hold back his sadness and smile for Angor, but he couldn't see Angor because he was questioned by the navy and even sacrificed his own future.

"Ange... um!"

"To shut up."

Angel suppressed Ace's apology with a spoonful of rice.

"Sure enough, it's still Ace."

Angor smiled helplessly.

"Just after boasting that you have grown up, it started again."

"It's time, Major General Angel."

Suddenly, Lieutenant General Mole's serious voice came from the end of the corridor.

"I know, come here."

After shouting this sentence, Angor piled the rice into Ace's mouth three times, five times, two times, and watched Ace's cheeks puff up like a hamster chewing, poking in a good mood.

"Don't think about something for me, just keep eating and sleeping, can you hear me?"

Where no one could see, Angel showed Ace a determined smile and shook the bracelet on his wrist.

"As for this, it's all right."

After all, he was suspected by the navy as early as he expected, and this bracelet can be said to be his most ideal protection talisman.

After speaking, Angel picked up the plate, turned and left, leaving only Ace sitting in the cell, not standing up for a long time.

Angor's smile was confident and dazzling just now, but it made Ace feel like falling into an ice cave.

What do you want, Angel? !

The author has something to say:

Today the main text has been written, so the small theater is gone~

But the main text is almost three thousand words long, so it’s more than enough~【Smelly face】

Ah, the writing of this plot is so depressing and aggrieved!It seems to write the ending directly to save Ace from there!

But no... [Despair.jpg]

Although theoretically it ends at the end of the month, I really have no idea how long this volume will be, because there are many psychological descriptions that will not appear in the outline, and the outline only has the turning points of the plot.

This is also the reason why I met Cave today... because this big chapter is an emotional drama!

So, depending on the situation, it may end earlier or it may be delayed, but the possibility of delay is very small, because I estimated it loosely at the beginning.

This is the first time I write such a long paragraph of emotional description, it may be a little unnatural, please point it out and help me improve~ Please forgive me, I will continue to work hard~

PS: The second chapter of the pirate IF line is updated today!Oh my god!I saw my favorite scene!I cried out all of a sudden!Long live Oda! Long live ASL!

PSS: Yesterday, the results of Pirates' sixth popularity poll were released~ all three ASL brothers were in the top ten!

But Ace hasn't played for such a long time, and the ranking has not fallen but risen to break into the top five? ! Is the if line so powerful?I thought I couldn't make it into the top ten this time, which made me worry for a few months.

But in short, I'm super happy that Ace is fifth!Happy to ascend to heaven!
