[Comprehensive] Ace that was planted

After being annoyed, little Ace was stunned when he learned that he still had a brother.

After a while, under Sabo's nervous gaze, he raised his head and looked at the two tall 'brothers'. He was really too small and too short, even if he raised his head, he had the illusion that he couldn't see them clearly.

...Little Ace, this is completely backlighting, it's your fault for being short.

Little Ace frowned and asked, "If we are brothers, why... would I be like this?"

Little Ace stretched out his hand, small and powerless. He stood in front of Luffy and Sabo with his head held high. As he grew up, he always wanted to ask this question.

Why is he like this?Why?

This problem makes Sabo a little uncomfortable, but at least there is still a chance of remedy, isn't it?Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and patted Luffy's shoulder, because the two of them were too close, when little Ace raised this question, a trace of grief and sourness inevitably leaked from Luffy's body.

Luffy……

Sabo patted him on the shoulder a few times, silently comforting Luffy.

He is the last person who wants to recall that incident, after all Ace is right in front of him... the temperature on his hands must be recalled at midnight, but—the status quo has changed, Ace is back, that is already Past tense.

Sabo squatted down, put his hands on his knees, looked at him, and said, "Ace, you will remember later..."

"Why? Is it a very bad thing? Grandpa also told me about it. He said that when I grow up, I will know why I can't tell other people my parents' names." Little Ace is very sensitive asked, quietly clenched the hand that was put aside.

When he was very young, when Grandpa talked about it, he thought about it until one night, he heard Dadan talking about it with her little ones.

【Boss, now that Ace is so old, did he let that guy take him back? 】

[Yeah, after all, he is the son of One Piece King Gol D. Roger, and he is a world-class criminal!If anyone else finds out, not just Ace, we'll all die! ! 】

[You think I don't want to!That guy Garp—every time I talk about this, he punches me. Don’t forget, he is the enemy of One Piece. His fist! 】

[Then what to do... Ace, Ace is not recognized by the world!If anyone knew of his existence, they would definitely kill him—]

kill him?

why?

Little Ace, who was only four years old, stood behind the door, stunned, his mind was in a mess, why?This question still bothers him to this day, and then he started to live 'independently', and after that...

Little Ace looked at Sabo, the third young man who claimed to be his brother, and asked in a soft voice as if asking himself: "I will remember later? All?"

"Ah, you will remember later, what you want to know, and... us brothers." I hope that when I think about it, I don't want to beat him, Sabo's smile is more bitter and grateful.

Ace... can still beat him.

Sabo smiled softly, couldn't help stretching out his hand, and hugged the little brother, while saying that little Ace didn't understand words: "Ace, that's great!"

The defenseless little Ace was hugged, his eyes widened, and then he reached out and pushed his face furiously, and asked angrily, "You bastard! What are you doing!! Stay away from me——"

Lu Fei, who was calming down, opened his eyes a little when he saw it, and immediately became unhappy. He stretched out his hand, held Ace's shoulder, and mentioned it, and successfully let Ace get rid of it, but entered another misunderstanding.

Little Ace thought he was saved, but he didn't expect...

Luffy's hands were like ropes, wrapped around little Ace's body several times, tightly tied, hugged in his arms, watching Sabo with empty hands on guard, he said: "Ace is mine! The only one who can hug him is me!"

Hey, hey, Luffy, you are wrong!

There were several drops of cold sweat on Sabo's forehead, but then he realized that Luffy seemed to be too attached to Ace. Is it because Ace came back to life again?Thinking about it this way, he also understood why Luffy was so stubborn.

Sabo sighed, expressing his understanding of his younger brother's actions.

He stood up, patted the fine dust on his clothes, pulled his hat, and said with a smile, "Luffy, you hug me too tightly, Ace can't breathe." Then, he stretched out his hand and pointed to his face Ace was flushed, but he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

afterwards……

"Luffy, you idiot!!"

Little Ace, who finally stepped on the ground, touched his neck, gasped, then jumped his feet, scolded and squatted down, and Luffy, who looked remorseful and wronged, hit Luffy on the head with his hand impolitely.

Seeing this picture, Sabo laughed out loud, which also made Ace stare at him.

"Pfft, Ace, don't stare at me—you look so funny! It's exactly the same..." Sabo accidentally said something, but it wasn't important, so he added: "You used to Hit Luffy like this too." As he said that, there was a trace of nostalgia on his face.

At that time, he was still trying to persuade the fight.

Having said that, Little Ace's movements froze, he withdrew his hand somewhat unnaturally, turned his head, and clasped his chest: "Who would hit a fool!"

Luffy, who claims to be his younger brother, always does things that make his jaw drop during this period of time. He can't help but doubt his younger brother's IQ.

Why are you stupider than him! ?

At the same time, he also indirectly cultivated the skills to clean up the mess for Luffy in advance.

For example, sneaking into the kitchen in the middle of the night every day to steal something to eat, he took the initiative to blame him the next day, because...

Steal it out, and a large part went into his stomach...

Tsk, so stupid!

After hearing this, Luffy pouted unhappily and said, "I'm not stupid!"

It's a pity that little Ace didn't reply to him at all.

Sabo on the side looked at them and smiled.

Well, that's not bad.

Absolutely, absolutely nothing will happen to Ace this time!

Sabo pursed his lips slightly, and firmly clenched his hands.

Sabo didn't rush around like before this time, but stayed on the Luffy ship for one night. This night, the three brothers sat together and chatted, and little Ace also began to change. It is developing towards the boy in Sabo's memory who is full of thorns at a glance, but there are also some differences.

At least he met them early.

Sabo drank the spirits, already a little dizzy, he blushed slightly, looked at Ace who was robbing Luffy for food, he succeeded, but it was inevitable for Luffy to release the water, because... the one who robbed him, But Ace, their brother.

"Great……"

Sabo muttered, drank the last bit of wine in the glass in one last sip, and said with a somewhat illusory smile, "Great, you're still alive, Ace..."

'Boom', after saying this, Sabo fell down on the deck, with bubbles popping up from his nose after a while, and he fell asleep, sleeping on the deck with a peaceful and happy face.

"Huh? Sabo is already drunk?" Luffy heard the voice and looked over with big eyes. He was a little surprised, but he went quickly.

"Hee hee, let's continue drinking."

Afterwards, little Ace, who couldn't drink because of his young age, was held in Luffy's arms with a look of disgust, and this person had already fallen asleep.

"Ace..."

"Ace..."

Little Ace, who wanted to break free, could not help but stop when he heard the people behind him chanting his name again and again.

I don't know why, but I feel a little uncomfortable. Nami once told him that Luffy likes his brother very much, but...

but what?Nami didn't say any more, there was a hint of sadness on her face, and even though she disappeared soon, he saw it.

But... what the hell happened?

"Ace..."

"Ace..."

"...What's your name? I'm right here." Little Ace frowned, unable to raise his hand, he muttered.

Yes, he is here.

Not going anywhere.
