good brother

Babies always grow surprisingly fast. Two years have passed, and little Ace, who has just passed his second birthday, can run out to meet his brother who has returned from hunting with his short, fleshy legs.

"Ann, Angel~"

"Ace~"

Angor skillfully threw the pheasants and hares he had killed to the bandits aside, and then embraced Ace over his head.

"Ace misses brother~"

"Hehehe, don't, it's so itchy, hahaha."

Dadan looked at the two brothers who were brothers and sisters over there with a speechless expression.

It has been half a year since Ace was able to say that he could run. In the past six months, he has performed such a performance every day, and the two of them didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all. They just enjoyed it.

Brother control is really scary...

Angel held Ace in his arms and weighed it.

Well, it feels almost there.

"Ace, you have grown up too, do you want to go to the woods?"

"Eh? Can you?!"

Little Ace was obviously very excited, his eyes were shining brightly.

After all, in order to protect the son of the One Piece, Dadan's family basically never let him go out of the house, even if he could walk and dance, at most he played in the small square at the door for a while.

"Angel, it's too dangerous."

Dadan had a look of disapproval.

"You sometimes come back with injuries all over your body. With a two-year-old kid, whether you can come out alive is a problem."

"nothing."

Angel put Ace down.

"I'm sure."

It is true that Angor is occasionally injured on Mount Korbo, but that is because he deliberately challenged those powerful animals for exercise. Although so far he can barely beat a wild boar, but as a five-year-old child , this is already a very gratifying achievement.

What's more, in the past two years, Angor has been practicing the ability of the devil fruit very hard. Although he has not yet been able to form a combat power, at least he can fly smoothly, which means that there is no problem in escaping.

No one else knows that Angor is a capable person. After all, this is his last card, but it doesn't matter what Ace said. Regardless of trust issues, Ace doesn't have the ability to clearly explain a thing.

What's more, as a brother-in-law, Angel would naturally not guard against Ace.

"Tch, we won't be responsible if you die outside."

Now Dadan still has this kind of unreasonable attitude towards the little ghosts, but compared to the harshness at the beginning, it is already a great improvement.

"Good~"

Angel replied obediently, but Ace, who was standing next to him, made a face at Dadan. Sure enough, bad personality is born.

On the way back to the room after dinner, Ace was a little sullen.

"Ace, what's wrong?"

As a qualified brother-in-law, Angel was naturally very keen to find out that something was wrong with Ace.

Ace pursed his lips, hesitated for a while, and then looked firmly at Angel and said.

"I will not hold back! I will definitely become stronger!"

"When the time comes, I'll protect Angel!"

The immature voice was even a little slurred, but the sincerity unique to children still made the simple words sound exciting.

Angor was obviously stunned. Although he has been in the world of One Piece for two years now, he still looks like an outsider. He always treats Ace with a dedication that does not expect anything in return.

He never dared to hope that he could leave a deep imprint on this person's heart.

Not to mention being put in the protection circle by that Ace.

This is an orphan's inferiority complex at work.

But now, Ace is so firm that he wants to protect him, which makes Angel a little caught off guard.

Yes, he has lived in this world for two years, and he is no longer that unloved orphan.

He has Ace now, and there will be Luffy in the future, and Garp can also be counted as one. (Sabo: (T▽T) me?!)

He was no longer alone.

Of course, in fact, the fetters he will form in the future are far more than he imagined~

"Ah."

Angel calmed down, chuckled, and rubbed Ace's curly black hair.

"Thank you Ace, but the elder brother who is protected by the younger brother is too shameful, I am not the one~"

"Don't rub your hair, Doguma said it won't grow tall."

"Then he must have been loved when he was young."

"I heard it! Angel!"

"It hurts!"

The author has something to say:

In other words, do I need to change my habit of sending out the manuscript after writing it without saving it at all...
