good brother

"Eh?!"

Angel was stunned.

"what are you saying……"

Will I... change the world?

"Do not make jokes!"

Angor smiled dryly and waved his hands again and again.

"I can't do it!"

Absolutely impossible...

Because... I'm just an ordinary person...

How could I possibly have the power to change the world...

It is true that Angor is very strong now, very strong, at least pirates below [-] million will not pose any threat to him under normal circumstances, and if you are serious, [-] million pirates can also be taken down by you.

Angel also knew this clearly, but it may be caused by his experience as an orphan in his previous life, or it may be that he has never considered how he looks in other people's hearts. He has always firmly believed that he is a small role.

A small character who can only do some trivial things.

Although he once said to Vance that he wanted to change the world, in fact, what he thinks of changing the world is only to keep his younger brothers alive.

What he can do is to let the three teenagers who in his opinion will definitely change the world grow up, and he stands behind them and watches them go further and further away.

What else can he do?

Like Crocodile said.

Everything he does is for his younger brothers, what he thinks about and wherever he sees are his younger brothers.

Other than that, he didn't think about anything else.

Because, since he came to this world, he has never regarded himself as a person who can sit on an equal footing with others.

He was just an outsider, an orphan, nothing more.

He... can't get involved in things like changing the world...

……?

"You can't do it?!"

Ivankov looked down at Angel who refused to listen and shook his head, and looked at the panic and confusion in his eyes that he tried to hide but was still clearly seen by him.

"Why do you think so?"

"why……"

Angel was stunned again.

Yeah, why would I think so?

"……I have no idea."

Rather than saying that he didn't know, it was better to say that he hadn't thought about such a thing at all.

"Look! You don't even know why you can't do it, so you deny yourself for no reason!"

Ivankov pointed to Angel's nose and said.

"You are already the strongest! You just need to clearly recognize your own ability now! Believe that you can change the world!"

"...I rescued Ace, isn't it a way to change the world?"

Angel frowned and thought.

"Ah, it's your younger brother again, can't your thinking leave your younger brothers!"

Ivankov was about to be driven mad by Angel's brother-in-law.

"Yes, yes, that would indeed change the world, but it's not enough!"

"Don't you have any other pursuits!"

"...I've been thinking about this recently."

Angel touched his chin.

"Crocodile discussed this issue with me a few days ago, and it was only then that I realized that I had no dreams at all."

After all, when he came to this world, his only goal was to keep Ace alive.

In other words, his life plan ended at the top, and he really didn't think about it at all after that.

"My dream has long been entrusted to Ace Sabo, Luffy and the others..."

In his previous life, he was an orphan and came to this strange world alone. At that time, Ace was his only sustenance. Angel naturally entrusted all his hopes, dreams, and future to Ace.

Then, Sabo, after that, Luffy...

After that, he never thought about his dream or anything like that.

"Is this really good?"

Ivankov said lightly.

"Is it really good to throw all your dreams at them without thinking?"

"This is simply a kind of evasion, a kind of irresponsibility!"

Hearing this sentence, Angel trembled.

I... am escaping?I am not responsible?

This is the first time someone has said that about him.

Then, wake up the dreamer with one word.

"...I understand what you mean, Ivan-chan."

Angel slowly calmed down, and his eyes became clear.

"They...are not obliged to carry such big expectations from me."

"It's because I'm too cowardly. I'm so cowardly that I only dare to stand still in the environment I know. I don't dare to explore the world I don't know. So I push all this to them."

"I said I didn't want to be protected by them, but in the past 20 years, I have actually been hiding behind them."

Angor turned around, looked at the closed iron door, and heard Luffy's painful screams, his eyes gradually became firm.

"It's time for me to take the first step."

It has been 20 years since he came to this world, and he has sailed countless seas, but what he remembers in his mind is only those things that can help Ace and the others, and he regards most of the rest as Useless things are thrown away in an instant.

Thinking about it now, he has almost never paid attention to the world he has lived in for 20 years, except for those related to Ace and the others.

Well, if you can survive this war...

"Ivan sauce."

Angel turned his head, and Ivankov was surprised to find that there was a bright light in those silver eyes that he had never seen before.

That was Angel's never-before-seen, infinite expectation and longing for the future.

"I want to see the world with my eyes!"

Go and see the magnificence that belongs to this world that he has never cared about before!

After this war, he will live in this world as Angel, not just Ace Sabo Luffy's brother!

He wants to help and continue to help his younger brothers, not only to keep them alive, but also to help them, and to help himself realize his dream that was 20 years late!

I want to live, I want to live in this world, to see the fate of this world changed by me!

"I missed 20 years, but I still have a chance to make up."

Angel's voice was unprecedentedly firm.

"I want to live."

Looking at Angel's resolute expression, Ivankov suddenly felt a shocking pressure.

"Hey, I seem to have awakened something extraordinary."

Because of excitement or nervousness, his palms began to sweat.

"As a revolutionary army, I feel that the future is bright."

"Don't be too happy."

Angor smiled slightly.

No longer pretending to be confident to cover up his confused and fragile heart like before, Angel now smiles confidently and dazzlingly.

"Although I am indeed full of longing for this world now, I still have my bottom line."

Angel turned around and looked at the treatment room where Luffy was.

"That's my brothers."

"The world I dream of must be a world with them."

"so……"

Angel said sonorously.

"I will never let any of them die before me!"

No longer just to protect them, this time, Angel is working hard for his dream.

From then on, brotherhood is no longer the bondage and shackles of Angel, but the source of his motivation.

"We brothers, we must live together!"

The author has something to say:

The rose that never fades

No one thought that Angel could live beyond the age of 18, because his inherently weak heart could not only support the blood circulation pressure of an adult.

But, it did, and he did.

Angel lived past the age of 18, the age of 19, and the age of 20, which became a miracle.

After research, many experts have always believed that the source of this miracle is Angel's optimistic attitude.

He never seemed to be afraid of death, and he seemed to be able to enjoy the sunshine of the next day contentedly by living one more day.

He has become a classic case in the hospital. Many or even many doctors will bring some terminally ill patients to chat with Angel.

More and more people were moved by him. Countless people pointed to the medical records and said that he could not survive, but now they looked at his smile and firmly believed that he could survive.

And among them, Ace is naturally included.

As a disciple of Angor's attending doctor, Ace can be said to see Angor often.

From nervousness at the beginning, to curiosity later, to love later, and now, Ace has become like an addict, and he can't do without Angel's smile anymore.

Ace knew that he had fallen in love with this angel long ago.

However, Ace is also very clear that Angel will leave him one day, and one day he will wake up from this beautiful dream.

By then... what should he do...

"What are you thinking about?"

Angel knew what he was thinking without even looking at Ace.

"I'm not afraid of death, what are you afraid of?"

"...There are many things in this world that are more terrifying than death."

Ace sighed, and leaned over beside Angel's hospital bed.

"for example?"

Angel raised his eyebrows slightly curiously.

He thought Ace would give him a funny answer.

"for example……"

Ace, however, tilted his neck and stared at him intently.

Angel could not be more familiar with the strong emotion in those pitch-black eyes.

"For example, a world without you."

It was love, Ace's love for him.

Like a glass of strong wine, pure and intoxicating.

Just like his love for Ace.
