good brother

"Really...I see."

Garp sighed and stood up.

"However, you should understand that no matter what, you are the son of that person, and you are bleeding that person's blood."

"For some people, that's enough."

Cap looked up and looked at his two grandchildren.

"In the public execution seven days later, everything will be made public."

Hearing the word "public execution", both of them unavoidably trembled.

"... Has it been... decided?"

Angel asked calmly.

"Ah, yes."

Cap said in a low voice.

"The [-] navy elites above the rank of rank, Shichibukai, have already begun to gather."

Hearing this fighting power, Ace trembled visibly.

This kind of combat power... it is impossible to save me...

Give me up, father!

"Okay, one more week."

Angel patted Ace's shoulder to calm his uneasy emotions, but he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

"The last week."

I am most afraid, and it is also the moment I am most looking forward to when I come to this world.

After waiting for 20 years, now only seven days left.

so fast...

"Angel."

Ace raised his head at this moment, looking at Angor with a pleading look in his eyes.

"give up……"

I can't survive anymore, so don't let me trouble you again!

"This..."

Angel patted Ace on the head with a smile, walked to the door of the room and brought in the braised pork rice bowl.

"If there is really no hope at all, I might give up~"

"Ange... um!"

Angor repeated his old trick and gagged Ace's mouth with food.

"Don't say bad words."

Angel said firmly.

"You will survive."

Angor looked down at the food on the plate, completely ignoring Ace's horrified eyes, just fed the last rice grain spoon by spoon, put away the plate and turned to leave.

"I'm going to send Kapusang off, so don't think about it."

Having said that, Angel looked back and smiled.

"You know us, and we know you."

"You idiot haven't made up your mind to what you should do, so no matter what you say, we won't listen."

"Think about what you should do, little fool."

After speaking, Angel locked the cell door, turned around and left with Karp.

What I should do...

Ace chewed his food mechanically, frowning and thinking.

things i should do...

"What do you want to do, Angel."

In the big elevator, Garp suddenly broke the silence and asked.

"Eh?"

Angel was confused by Garp's sudden suddenness for a moment, but soon laughed.

"What can I do."

Angor said with a smile.

"I can't do anything by myself."

"Oh? Did you find foreign aid?"

Cap raised an eyebrow.

"You don't need to look for it, Whitebeard Sang and the others will definitely come."

Angor smiled.

"Then, why don't you just defect and choose to wear the bracelet instead?"

Cap asked without hesitation.

"You can't do anything with this on."

"I know, I know it."

Angel looked at the small and exquisite bracelet on his wrist and smiled.

"Can you untie him?"

Cap asked.

"Who knows."

Angel shrugged.

"It depends on luck."

If Mr.3 can still stand on the execution platform, it will be much easier. If not, the gun is enough to change the situation instantly.

"The point is, at a time like this, it's impossible for me to throw Ace in prison alone. It's not like you haven't seen him. He's so negative when I'm here."

Angor smiled slightly.

"It's not that I haven't thought about snatching Ace from Blackbeard directly, but the possibility of success is too low. As long as anyone of them puts a small dagger on Ace's neck, they will easily take another prisoner."

"What's more, my strength alone is too small. If I join in from the beginning, I can't change anything at all, and it will make the navy more alert. It's better to stay with the navy for the time being. Skills preserve physical strength, and I can play by ear. A cavalry."

"It seems that you are determined to save Ace."

Karp wasn't surprised.

"Warring States is going to be furious now."

"Warring States Sang must be prepared."

Angor sighed.

"Look back and wait until this battle is over, and apologize to him for me."

"I'm not going, I'm going to go by yourself."

Garp said while holding his nose.

At this time, the elevator just arrived at the ground floor, and Garp just walked out of the elevator swaggeringly, waving his hands without looking back.

"Don't die."

"...I try my best."

Angel smiled helplessly, and asked the jailer next to the elevator to start the elevator.

"The next problem is that children need to be comforted. It's really hard work. Is this the so-called pain and happiness?"

Soon, the elevator returned to level 6, Angel got off the elevator, returned to Ace's prison, and sat on the spot with his arm pillowed against the wall.

"How? Do you understand?"

"……No."

Ace's voice was a little lost.

"I want you to live. I am willing to give my life for this. Is there anything wrong?"

"No, there's nothing wrong with it."

Angel closed his eyes and took a nap.

"But you haven't thought about it."

"We also want you to live, and we will not hesitate to die for it."

Angel turned back and smiled at Ace.

“So this level of awareness is far from enough.”

Angel turned back again and said slowly.

"Some time ago, you know the incident where Luffy and the others made a big fuss on Judicial Island."

"Ah, I know."

Ace nodded.

"They were discussing it when I met Titch."

"The central figure in that incident was Luffy's partner, Nicole Robin, who was willing to sacrifice herself in order to save the lives of her companions."

"Nicole Robin?"

Ace frowned.

"She joined after Alabasta. You haven't seen her, but she has a nickname."

"Son of the devil."

Ace froze for a moment.

"She is also..."

"Yes, she really has the power to destroy the world."

Angel turned back and smiled mysteriously at Ace.

"I was a complete bystander in that incident, and I talked a lot with her during the incident. I think you and her are really similar."

Angor sighed.

"They all think that they will hurt the people around them, and they are all willing to sacrifice their lives for this, and they all want to die."

"But she is different from you."

Angel said in a low voice.

"Her past is too dark, her experience is too painful, but she has her goal, she paid an unimaginable price in order to survive, and she didn't change until she met Luffy and the others."

"But you, Ace, are different. Your childhood was much happier than hers. You have me, Sabo and Luffy, Garp, and Dadan. After going to sea, you have reliable partners and are strong enough. We soon found our family again."

"Let me tell you, you have never experienced such a moment of life and death after you went to sea, so you are so confused now."

"You've never seriously considered death."

Angel turned his head and looked into Ace's eyes very seriously.

"Now, Ace, let me ask you."

"Do you want to live?"
