[One Piece]WANTED

"Cough! Cough! Uh...it hurts." Waking up from the pain, Ino felt as if his whole body had been crippled.Coughing violently, hot blood seemed to surge from his chest, and a disgusting smell of blood spread from his mouth. Ino squinted his eyes slightly and woke up in pain, with the suppressed pain in his chest that was about to split.

He vaguely heard someone calling his name anxiously, but what was closest to his ear was the continuous ringing of chains.Yinuo frowned tightly, squinting his eyes slightly to see the situation in front of him clearly, but found that his hands had been tightly locked behind by Hailoushi's handcuffs, and he was lying curled up in the cold on the ground.

"Ino! Hey, Ino! Are you okay, say something!"

Ino was gasping for breath, the pain in his chest was getting worse, the blood flowing upstream seemed to be about to overflow from his mouth, even his brain was completely blurred, and there seemed to be a fault in his memory. The vague figure at the place.

"Ace..." Ino's voice was weak and hoarse, and at the moment of speaking, Ino coughed loudly and hastily, blood was finally coughed up from his lungs, and the bright red blood stained his lips.

Yinuo finally remembered that at that time, he used most of his spiritual power just to escape from that advancing city.When he broke through the prison, he saw that the warship holding Ace was already sailing at sea, and he made too much noise, and there was no way to get on the ship without attracting attention.

So he swaggered like that, imitating Luffy's original momentum, and rushed into the warship like that.

result……

Yinuo couldn't help but parted his lips and laughed at himself, his current situation really well explained the definition of death.My whole body hurts like hell, and even my vision is blurred up to now, as if I was breathing hard now, all the nerves in my whole body are involved.

The navy that can escort Ace is definitely not an ordinary person. In addition, when he escaped from prison, Ino had already used up half of his body's spiritual power. What's more, when he rushed into the warship, Ino didn't really have the determination to save him. Ace.

Now, in fact, he was beaten half to death.

"Ino!" Ace struggled with the handcuffs and chains on his body, but even this was of no avail.Ace frowned, his eyes were full of anger and anxiously looking at Ino who was curled up on the ground and coughing up blood. The white clothes on Ino's body were covered with blood and dust, and the boy was lying on the ground in pain. , Ace was about to go crazy, but there was nothing he could do.

"Not dead yet." Ino took a deep breath, then sat up from the ground with enough strength, and then leaned against the wall with all his strength, his vision was blurred again, and he could only clenched his teeth tightly. Don't let yourself faint again in a daze.

That gang of marines—they really beat them to death.

"Why did you come to die!" Ace looked at Enuo with wide eyes, gritted his teeth, and didn't know if he was more anxious or worried, or more angry, so he reprimanded so loudly, "You don't Do you know where this is? You, you and Luffy are here to rob the prison! You are all dying!"

"..." Enoch paused, seeing Ace's maddened look in front of him, but couldn't help but raised the corners of his mouth and laughed.

This guy seems to be more arrogant than himself.

That's fine...

"You're still laughing!" Ace looked at Ino who was still laughing out of nowhere, and gritted his teeth angrily at Ino.Forget about Luffy, even Ino is messing around with Luffy, don't you know where Push Island is?If you want to rob the prison, a few lives are not enough, and now I don't know what happened to Luffy!

While angry, Ace looked at Ino worriedly.But at least he can still laugh in this situation, so it shouldn't be a big deal.Ace's brows finally loosened slightly, and he sighed slowly.

"Where's Luffy?" Ace thought of another brother who was worried, afraid that he would be trapped on the push island.

Ino finally became serious and squinted his eyes to look around.Although he and Ace can see each other, they are locked in different cages. Obviously, the chains and cages are made of sea stones. This must be done to trap the devil fruit ability users.

The dark and narrow space seems to be a special place for detention in a warship. Although there is no one guarding it, there are phone bugs around to closely monitor every move here. Fortunately, the phone bugs are monitoring the conversations so that their conversations will not be recorded. down.

"I don't know." Ino shook his head.

"I don't know?" Ace's eyes widened, and he looked at Ino in disbelief, joking, "How could you not know, you and Luffy have..."

Ace and them have been together since they were young, and they know everything about the contract. How could Ino not understand Luffy's current situation at this time.Ace's eyes fell on Ino's handcuffed wrist involuntarily, but he couldn't help being stunned. The skin that should have been black with a pattern was empty.

Ino noticed Ace's gaze, and didn't want to hide anything, but his hands trembled involuntarily, "You saw it too, the contract has been terminated."

"Release? How could it be revoked?" After so many years, Ace has long forgotten what happened to the contract between Luffy and Ino.But no matter what, the contract will not be terminated inexplicably!

"Actually, when I was young, I only said that with this contract, if Luffy is alive, I can't die." Ino clasped his hands with cold hands, and felt a piercing chill on his back for no reason and spread all over his body, "Actually, this contract It was originally like this, it’s not original, it should be said, but the contract between me and Luffy is incomplete, I knew it from the beginning.”

"Ace, do you remember the last time we met?" Ino raised his head and looked at Ace.

Eston paused, but quickly recalled it.At that time, he met Luffy and Ino in a small restaurant, and then went to Alabasta together, but left first because of the clues of Blackbeard in the desert.It was at that time that Ace gave the life card to Ino.

"Actually, within a few days of being separated from you, I died once." Ino smiled bitterly, and was not surprised to see Ace's shocked and angry eyes, so he hurriedly defended himself, "Don't blame me for not cherishing life. You are not reduced to the level of a death row prisoner. Besides, I am always with Luffy. It is normal for me to get hot for a while. Besides, it may be because I have a contract that I can't die at that time. So foolishly sent to die."

"Then the contract disappeared?" Ace looked at Ino blankly, not knowing what expression he was going to show.Obviously it should be extremely angry, but this kid Yinuo died just once for no apparent reason.But Ace couldn't say anything.Annoyed and self-reproached in his heart, if he hadn't left early, but had gone to Alabasta with Ino and the others, then all this would never have happened!

"No, it's just that the color has become lighter, but I also know that if I die again, I will really die." Ino looked down at his wrist, the black pattern had disappeared, and the boy's expression became gloomy and lonely.

"Then why was the contract terminated?" Ace also knew now that the matter might be more than that simple.

"Both Luffy and I were injured by the warden's venom. When I woke up, Luffy was still tied up in the cave by iron chains, but I was fine. Eva only said it was strange, I don't know why the blood in my body The venom was purified by itself, and the wounds on his body also healed automatically." Enoch looked at Ace and said, leaning against the wall slumped, with a suppressed bitterness in his words, "But I know, something important has been broken."

At that time, he first used the blood curse to transfer him and Luffy to Push Island.Then in the Hunger Hell, he was seriously injured by the attack of a huge jailer beast, and his body, which had lost too much blood, was even more vulnerable.And most importantly, he found Luffy when he was controlled by Saludes. At that time, Luffy was on the verge of death soaked in venom.

At that time, Ino was still hugging Luffy, and his body was also covered with deadly venom.He was already seriously injured at that time, but he gave himself a fatal blow.At that time, he and Luffy were two half-dead people imprisoned in the prison of Level.5. Ino wanted to use the blood array to save Luffy, but he used a dagger to let the blood out...

He is not as good as Luffy, and he has only relied on his will to persevere.When Feng Kelei appeared in the field of vision and said that he and Luffy would be saved, Ino's tense nerves were completely broken.

From the moment Yinuo woke up, he felt it.

Something very important seemed to be missing in the chest cavity, and the heart was thrashing against the empty chest cavity.

He couldn't see Luffy, couldn't hear Luffy, couldn't feel Luffy.

At that time - Ino knew that the chain called the contract had been cut.

"...You!" Ace didn't understand at first, but then suddenly came to his senses, and looked at Ino in shock.Crazy anger surged in his eyes instantly, like a storm of anger swept through his pupils, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Even if Ino just mentioned venom lightly, how could Ace not be aware of the danger in the prison.So one layer after another of terrifying hell prisons, I don’t know how much pain and life danger Ino and Luffy have experienced there.But as the elder brother who protects his younger brother, he can't do anything in the end!

"I'm dead... This is the second time." Ino said in a daze, his eyes were a little dazed, and even his voice trembled, "This time, I really didn't notice it. Die without knowing it."

When he died for the first time, Ino actually had a premonition.At that time in Alabasta, Ino was really lucky, thinking that even if he died, he could be rescued.

But this time, he died just like that, unconsciously, on the way of being carried by Feng Klei to the icy and snowy Level. 5 for treatment... without a sound.

"If, if it's really the same as what I thought before, does that mean I'm really dead now?" Yinuo's voice trembled, and his dark pupils were stained with anxiety and fear.

Ino originally thought that the contract would expire after saving him once, but the contract between him and Luffy would continue to maintain their connection.If this was the case, then after the second death, Ino should really have died.

No one knew that when Ino woke up lying on the hard wooden board, he was alone as if he had been isolated and abandoned by the whole world, and the fear in his heart almost swallowed him like a black hole. I have never passed by so close to death, and I have never been so far away from Luffy.

"I'm scared, but I dare not tell Luffy. And others, they won't believe it either." Ino said with a self-deprecating laugh.

Fear, of course fear.

He has been with Luffy all the time, from childhood to now, even if they are not in the same city, Eno can see what Luffy is doing through the contract, hear what he is talking about, and know what he is thinking.

They've never been apart, giving Ino the illusion that they'll never be apart.But now, Yinuo didn't know anything, the deep-rooted connection suddenly disappeared, and the habit engraved in the soul was nowhere to be found.It could only make him caught off guard and fell into a situation where he was forced to be lonely and frightened. Even if he watched Luffy running in front of his eyes, he still felt extremely uneasy, as if Luffy would suddenly disappear, and then he would never be able to catch up again. up.

【Brother, brother...】

【Luffy, where are you. 】

[You idiot, did you escape? 】

Yinuo said it over and over again in his heart, but then he heard his heart beating clearly, and then there was silence.No response, no laughter, no uproar...nothing, not a single sound.

The familiar voice that has been deeply embedded in his mind, as well as the loud laughter of Luffy, who is Ino's favorite, are all gone.Ino felt a kind of frustrated sadness, spreading from his heart to every inch of his body, as if he had been left by Luffy in another empty world.

"Are you afraid?" Ace's expression also eased, and he looked at Ino with a complicated expression on his brows.

"Scared." Ino froze for a moment, then looked at Ace and nodded.

I'm really scared.

I was afraid that I would die, and I died for no reason like this time.

I was even more afraid of myself, I couldn't see Luffy, and died silently in a place that Luffy didn't know.
