good brother

""ACE, your name means ace!""

『Ace, you have become stronger!』』

『Ace, you have to be a good brother!』』

""You've grown taller than me, Ace."』

""After that, let's fly in the sky together!""

『“You will definitely change the world!”』

『Ace, be happy.』』

"... Angel!"

Ace sat up from the bed all of a sudden, the quilt on his body was already wet with cold sweat, and he looked around in confusion.

"here it is……"

"Little Moby Dick."

Margao didn't know when he appeared at the door, leaning against the door frame with his arms folded, talking calmly.

"...do you...remember what you said?"

"what happened……"

The temporarily blurred memory due to chaos only needs a small hole to spew out.

Blood, screams, and those silver pupils that lost their spirits.

Then for a moment, Ace's eyes were also dimmed, just like the eyes in the memory.

Completely seal up all emotions, so as not to be swallowed up by despair and anger.

"Where is Angor?"

Ace asked calmly.

"next door."

Margaret sighed.

Worst case scenario...

Even if Ace burns directly and wants to destroy the ship, or makes a lot of noise and wants to think about dying for love, it will be much easier to deal with than now.

Just let the pain out...

Holding it in your heart like this will have no benefit except to breed more darkness.

Or, Ace, do you feel that the degree of pain has reached the point where you can't let it out at all...

The eye sockets are too small, can't hold the tears in your heart...

"It's next door."

Malcolm said softly.

"With Dad."

"yes."

Ace got off the bed, passed Margao, and left the room.

"I gonna go see."

"Ah."

Seeing Ace step by step into the dark little room, Margao frowned unavoidably.

"...Margo."

At this time, the other captains came out of the room behind Margao one after another, each with a frowning expression.

"Ace..."

"We can't do anything."

Malcolm said in a low voice.

"This is no longer a problem that can be solved by comfort."

"To untie the bell, one must tie it, but..."

The person who tied the bell will never come back.

The pitch-black room carried a hint of the coolness of hell, silent and unconsciously angry.

Ace walked slowly to the two coffins in the room, staring quietly.

Beside the old man, Angel looked so petite, lying there quietly, as if taking a relaxing nap, but it was not on a soft mattress, but in a white coffin.

The navy coat covering his body covered the wound on his body, but his bloodless face clearly showed the fact that Angel had passed away.

Ace didn't do anything, he just stood quietly, not knowing what was thinking in those empty eyes.

"Luffy was taken by Sabo to Nine Snake Island to recuperate. There was a doctor named Luo following him, who was called by Angel, so don't worry."

Margaux appeared at the door again, speaking slowly.

"The redhead will help hold the funeral of Dad and Angel. Although I don't know if it will be useful, I still want to say something, Ace."

"Angel would not want to see your dull eyes."

After finishing speaking, Margao paused for a moment, and turned around silently without waiting for a response.

"Angel said...he wants to see this magnificent world."

Ace spoke suddenly, and Margao stopped in his tracks.

"Ah, I hear you."

Then, he looked back at Ace.

"However, I think the scenery you see with your current eyes cannot be conveyed to Angel."

"……probably."

Ace still lowered his head, looking at Angel's "sleeping face".

"Probably, my soul has already left with Angel."

"Why else, I can't even shed a single tear."

"Maybe your heart is numb from the pain."

With that said, Margao turned his head and continued to leave.

"However, when you gradually get used to the pain, your numb heart will start beating again."

"I'm waiting for that day."
