[One Piece] Brother Ace, please pay the bill

~~~~~ This apartment is very old, even in the days when the typhoon cuts off the power, do not use open flames~~~~~

Lena was preoccupied with going to the supermarket, then rushing home, taking a good shower, and enjoying this stormy and unexpected holiday.However, she completely ignored Ace who was always following behind her, willing to be a coolie and flower protector.

It wasn't until the door of her apartment that Lena took out the key that she realized something was wrong.

"Where does your family live?" Lena turned around and asked.

Ace was holding shopping bags in both hands, and the transparent umbrella that was still dripping with rain was tucked under his arm.And the POLO shirt, which has been soaked by rain to saturation, can no longer absorb any water, and is constantly dripping like the tip of an umbrella.

"Uh..., Saitama" Ace glanced at the route map when he got out of the tram station, and he remembered that the farthest point on the line seemed to lead to a place called Saitama.

"So far!" Lena glanced at the shopping bag in Ace's hand, and her guilt increased.It must be because he had to take her home, so he delayed the last tram that was still running before the storm.

"It's a little far away." Ace also followed her words casually, and he looked outside from the corner of his eye.The torrential rain seemed to be much heavier, and he rarely saw such a situation.If Yinggu didn't take him in tonight, it would be really embarrassing.

"Then you wait with me for a while." Lina couldn't bear it, but out of female reserve, she didn't say anything dead, "I'll ask Xiao Ye when he comes back, if he can let you stay overnight. "

After opening the door, Lina took the shopping bag in his hand, and put it on the side of the entrance, "Leave the umbrella at the door, I'll get you a dry towel, take off your shoes first."

Ace looked down at his shoes, they were already soaked enough to squeeze out water, and his wet footprints were all along the way.

"I don't know if you can wear these shoes, try them on." Lena came out of the room, holding a dry towel and a pair of white cotton slippers in her hand.

"Thank you." Ace took the towel and casually put it on his back, then took the shoes and put them on.

"Well, just right." Seeing that Ace was wearing the shoes just right, Lina waved at him, "Come in and sit down. I'll cook first. Can you eat spicy food?"

"No matter what kind of food tastes like, I will swallow it." Ace rubbed his stomach. Lena invited him for breakfast, and he had a king's meal for lunch. It seems that this dinner doesn't cost much.

"It sounds like I'm from the dark cooking world." Lena curled her lips, and she rolled up her sleeves, wanting to show off.

Ace frowned slightly, and she said something she didn't understand again.

"Oh, by the way, why don't you catch a cold." Lina walked into the bathroom and took out the hair dryer, "Although you look in good health, it's autumn, so you still Pay attention."

"Blow it first." Ace looked at the strange thing. He didn't know how to use it, so he simply pushed it back to Lena and asked her to demonstrate it first.

"Hmm... alright." Lina's heart felt hot, she didn't expect him to be quite a gentleman.Although he is a strange person, he is a strangely good person.

***

After finally drying off the rain on her body, Lena walked out of the bathroom, and she saw Ace standing in front of the window, looking out of the window where she couldn't see anything clearly.

"Want to watch animation?" Lina thought he was bored, so she turned on the computer, "You definitely don't want to watch girls. How about online games, there is a very good one recently. Competitive sports, bicycles, basketball, Tennis, volleyball, baseball, what do you like? Or martial arts?"

"Fighting is good." Ace still couldn't understand most of Lina's words, but he was excited when he heard fighting.

"Ha, as expected, you still like Boys and Blood Manga." Lina smiled, he already likes the characters in COS Pirates so much, does he need to recommend other ones?

"OP, you must have watched it many times. Needless to say, Naruto and Shinigami. Do you want to watch the Blue Exorcist? I really don't have any animations on my computer. I basically use it for drawing on weekdays. It's gone." Lena turned on the computer, only to find that there was nothing to read on her hard drive.

"Just look at that." Ace looked at this magical little box, and he approached it curiously, but was taken aback by the computer desktop.

The wallpaper was drawn by Lena herself, and it is a back view of Ace.He stood in a blue sea, with red flames burning on his body.

Ace became even more skeptical of the world. The girl in front of her knew her name, but she didn't believe that she was Portgas D. Ace, which was a bit too strange.

"You sit down first, I guess Ono won't be back for a while. I'll cook first, is there anything you don't want to eat?" Lena turned on the player, and she patted the chair for Ace to sit on down.

"I'm not picky." Ace carefully sat down in front of the computer. He couldn't help being attracted by the intense fighting scene.

"It really is an otaku." Seeing him looking at the computer fascinated, Lina completely misunderstood his thoughts.

Walking into the kitchen, Lena rolled up her sleeves and started making dinner.

The wind outside the window was getting stronger and stronger, and the raindrops slammed on the glass as if they had been hit by a stone.

Lina looked at the window that was rattled by the strong wind, and couldn't help feeling a little worried, "Should I put some tape on it?"

At this moment, a hard object, whether it was a tree branch or something, was blown to the second floor and hit the glass window, making a loud noise.

The light in the room went out suddenly, and the light bulb seemed to have burst, and some debris fell from the ceiling and fell into Lena's hair.

"Ah!" Lena was startled, screaming and ran out of the kitchen.

At this time, it was already past 7 o'clock, and because of the typhoon, it was pitch black outside.The inside of the house was also plunged into complete darkness due to the power outage.

"What's wrong?" Ace heard Lena's scream, he stood up, and identified Lena's current location with his keen hearing.

Lina ran two steps, but stopped because she couldn't see clearly.She trembled and stretched out her hand, "Where are you?"

Lina has always been afraid of the dark. She always felt that something must have happened to her when she was young, so she was so afraid of falling into a dark environment.But my mother said that nothing happened, it was just that she was timid.

Lina didn't agree with her mother's statement at all.Although I have a little hypoglycemia, it has nothing to do with timidity.What's more, she is not timid, she rides the roller coaster of Fuji-Q Highland more than ten times without throwing up!

"Are you afraid of the dark?" Ace didn't mean to laugh at her, but she was afraid of the dark even though she was a super thick-skinned woman. This kind of contrast was really silly.

"No..., that..., that's not it!" Lina never thought that she would be laughed at by this otaku who was deeply trapped in Two-dimensional and couldn't be saved, and she immediately became stubborn.Leaning against the kitchen door, he stood there motionless.

"Give me your hand." Ace was used to the darkness, he could see Lena standing at the door of the kitchen, curled up like a shrimp.

"Why?" Lina asked angrily, she didn't want to be comforted by him!

"Tsk..." Ace smacked his lips, walked up to Lena, and snapped his fingers casually.

The room suddenly lit up, but it was not the incandescent light in Lina's room, but yellow with a warm firelight.

"Huh?" Lina raised her head in surprise, and she saw a flame burning on Ace's right finger.But there was no smell of burnt skin or screams of pain from the heat.

"Let's make do." Ace squatted down, and the flame in his hand got closer to Lena.

The yellow flame burned to the end of Lina's hair, and the burnt smell spread to Lina's nose all at once.

"Ah, I'm sorry, it's too close." Ace moved his right hand away, so as not to burn Lina's beautiful long hair again.

"Wait!" Lina hugged Ace's arm without fear of burning, she wanted to get closer and observe the flame carefully, "Ah, it hurts!"

This time, it was Lina's eyebrows and eyelashes that were burned off.

"Hey, are you okay?" Ace was startled, he quickly extinguished the flame, stretched out his hand, and hugged Lena.

"Eh?" When Ace's hand touched Lena, she instinctively shrank back.But surprisingly, Lena didn't feel the heat.

"Is that a real flame?" Lina completely forgot about her eyebrows and eyelashes, and the yellow flame was still reflected on her retina.

"Of course, you should know that I have eaten burnt fruit, right?" Ace felt that this was a good opportunity to clarify his identity and understand the world, so he spoke out.

"Huh?" Lina smirked, and then she felt the pain, covering her brow bone and screaming, "It hurts!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to get burned so easily." In fact, Lena's burning eyebrows were completely self-inflicted, but Ace apologized out of politeness, "Is there any burn medicine? Or disinfect it, use ice Put some ice on it."

As for the treatment of burns, Ace is already handy.When I just got this ability, I did a lot of bad things.Over time, you will know how to deal with it.

"Shao Shao fruit, what does it taste like?" Lena tilted her head, the fire light had completely disappeared from her eyes, and she had almost adapted to the darkness.Looking at the man in front of her, Lina suddenly got goosebumps all over her body.

"It has no taste, and the taste is a bit like bread that has been soaked in water." Ace recalled the taste of the devil fruit, which was really bad.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” Lena screamed again, this time not because of pain.
