good brother

If, if there is a war on top, the attack of the yellow ape is a little bit more accurate.

Just need...a little...

"... Angel——!"

Then everything will be different...

"Catch it!"

So how will the world move towards the future...

"Angel!"

Ace sat on Margao's back and hugged Angor tightly with his trembling hands, but everything looked the same as before, the only difference might be that the blood flowing from the small wound this time seemed like It was like a gushing spring, as Angel's heartbeat became weaker and weaker, it gushed out one after another.

That was the proof that Angor's heart had been punctured.

Ah...is it over here...

Angor could feel his body temperature getting lower and lower, and he could also feel that his brain was working harder and harder. Everything in front of him gradually became blurred, and he couldn't even feel the pain, just like a ray of already The ghost is about to drift away.

Is this... death...

Ace was crying in despair beside his ears, hot tears dripped on his face but he couldn't feel the temperature, he wanted to raise his hand to dry his tears as usual, but he couldn't.

Heh...the result...it's still like this...

Although I am a little bit reconciled...but...

"Angel! Open your eyes! Don't sleep! We'll be at the ship's doctor soon!"

"……useless……"

Angel's soft reply made the three brothers breathe a sigh of relief, but the content of the answer made them feel like they were in a frozen cave.

"...it's useless...don't talk nonsense!"

Ace hugged Angor tightly in his arms, trying to use his chest and hands to block the small wound on Angor's body.

However, to no avail.

"Ace... that's enough..."

The calmest Sabo lowered the brim of his hat, but the tears that could not stop falling still showed his sadness.

"The location of the wound! You still don't understand the amount of bleeding! Angel's heart...has..."

"...deceitful..."

Ace closed his eyes tightly as if refusing to face the cruel reality, but he knew in his heart that Sabo was right, Angel, it was impossible to survive.

"Angel! Didn't you promise me that I would not die!"

At this time, Luffy also crawled over, holding Angor's hand hanging by his side and shouting.

"Don't you hate liars the most! Liars!"

"……Fool……"

At this moment, Angel may have been relieved, and he even showed a forced smile.

"Did I... really promise you?"

There is no need to make redundant reminders, Luffy, who has kept everything of that day in his heart, immediately recalled all the details at that time, and then knelt on the ground in a daze.

"No……"

It was Ace who promised him.

"Everything I've said to you... I've treasured it in my heart..."

Angel lowered his eyes slightly, recalling every bit of him and his brothers.

Let it go, let it go, no matter how brilliant their future is, it doesn't matter to me anymore.

To be able to leave a strong mark on their past should have been enough...

Should have been satisfied... that's right...

But... why... I feel so unwilling...

Unwilling to the point where...the tears can't be stopped...

"Ace...Sabo...Luffy..."

Angel raised his head as hard as he could, and looked at the three brothers with his tearful eyes.

"I may...can't see the day when you realize your dreams...so..."

He spoke slowly with a fragility the three brothers had never seen, and with a crying tone they had never heard.

"Now... I will tell you my dream..."

"Then...you go and finish it for me..."

After speaking, Angel paused for a moment, as if trying to gather some strength, before speaking slowly.

"For me... go and see this magnificent world... walk around... every corner of the world..."

"I'll always be watching you...always...always...so don't be afraid...I'll always be by your side..."

"One day we'll meet again...and I want to hear about your amazing adventures...but don't come to me too soon...I'll be mad..."

At this time, Angor was already crying, and the three brothers trembled and held back their sobs, for fear of covering up your weak voice, Angor.

The blood flowing from the wound began to decrease, which did not mean that Angor's injury was getting better, but that the warm blood was about to drain away.

In the end, Angor couldn't even make a sound that could be heard by Sabo and Luffy, knowing that he might close his eyes forever in a few seconds, Angor's mouth turned up slightly again.

"Ace..."

Unsurprisingly, there was no answer, Angel spoke slowly with his dilated pupils open.

"Although... I don't know who you like... But... you must protect that child well..."

"to be happy……"

The most sincere blessing, but also the cruelest fact.

"It's... impossible to be happy..."

Feeling the completely powerless body in his arms, Ace murmured blankly.

"I didn't protect him well..."

Luffy's cry of collapse and Sabo's painful howl behind him didn't seem to reach his ears. Ace just knelt there silently, waiting for his despair and sadness to burn his last sliver of reason.

"And he died protecting me..."

Looking at the battlefield below him with those godless eyes, he gently handed Angor's body to Sabo, like an angel who was afraid of waking him up.

"... Ace?"

Sabo's tears haven't stopped yet, he raised his head suspiciously, but only had time to see a burning figure.

"Ace?!"

He exclaimed, countless people on the battlefield were exclaiming, and the voice undoubtedly resounded through the sky.

But, for Ace, he couldn't hear anything anymore.

At this moment, there was only one person in his eyes.

"...The Yellow Ape——!!!"

The author has something to say:

Hey, hey, it’s a good be episode~ XD

Originally, I wanted Angor to ask "Am I a good brother?", but thinking about it, Whitebeard just asked Ace a similar question, not to mention the awkwardness and embarrassment of repetition, but for Ace, this is too cruel .

...Well, it seems to be cruel...
