"You seem very upset."

Wayne, who watched Ace silently for a long time, came to this conclusion.

An hour ago, Ace led Wayne to successfully throw off a group of people who were chasing them. At first, Wayne planned to return the money to the owners of the restaurant where Ace had eaten the overlord meal. Unexpectedly, he just Taking out the 1000 million gourmet gold coins Huster gave him before, those restaurant owners raised the price very high as if they had negotiated.

It was obvious that he was extorting money, probably because he saw that Wayne had a gourmet gold coin that seemed rare in this small town, and thought he should be a rich man, so he wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail him.

Although he knew that Ace's appetite was astonishing, Wayne also knew that no matter how much Ace could eat, he couldn't eat so much. With a wink, almost in the blink of an eye, Wayne and Ace, who were still standing in front of the restaurant owners, disappeared without a trace.

Only a group of restaurant owners were left standing there, you looked at me, I looked at you, staring blankly, it took a long time to react, and they picked up the guy and chased after them desperately.

Of course, at that time, Wayne and Ace had already run away.

Gourmet gold coins are a common currency in the world. Even on Sakula, a small island that is not particularly large, there is a special bank that can exchange gourmet gold coins into Baileys.

The conversion ratio is one to one.

After exchanging the gourmet gold coins Huster gave him for 1000 million Baileys in the bank of Sakula Town, Wayne and Ace bought some basic daily necessities in the surrounding shops and prepared all the supplies , the two returned to the kayak docked on the shore and continued the next journey.

However, Wayne found it a little strange that Ace, who was always chattering with him on the sidelines, didn't say a word this time, and remained in this state of silence all the time.

Even Wayne's little black cat, Crow, noticed Ace's unusualness, and stretched out his right paw to scratch Ace's calf. Usually, at times like this, not to mention that Crow deliberately showed good moves like this, Even if it ignored Ace, Ace would have teased it with a piece of dogtail long ago.

But this time, Ace didn't even turn his head, and sat on the bow of the boat intently, controlling the direction of the kayak.

This is absolutely not normal.

Until the intoxicating beauty of cherry blossoms was far away from them, and the surrounding scenery turned into the usual blue sky, white clouds, blue sea and green mountains, Wayne finally couldn't help asking. Ace said nothing.

"Eh? Am I unhappy?"

Ace, who was standing at the bow, finally turned his head to look at Wayne, with a little doubt on his expression.

"Ah."

"It must be Wayne, you think too much, why should I be unhappy, hahaha."

Ace still had that bright, flame-like smile on his face, but Wayne always felt that the smile this time was a little different from usual, and there was a slight sense of disobedience, but he couldn't say exactly what the disobedience was. and what it feels like.

"Well, I'm actually a little unhappy. After all, the fish you caught before looked delicious, but I didn't eat it. I always feel a little pity."

Ace touched the back of his head, with a regretful expression on his face, as if he was really thinking about the deep-sea cherry blossom fish that failed to enter his stomach.

"That kind of fish only exists near Sakula Island, and I'm afraid you can't catch it here."

Staring at the calm sea, Wayne said to Ace helplessly.

At the same time, the big rock hanging in the air in his heart finally fell to the ground with peace of mind. Seeing Ace who was no different from usual, Wayne always felt relieved.

This person seems to be becoming more and more able to affect his mood, and he seems to care more and more about his so-called partner.

Since when did he start caring about this guy's feelings?

Wayne always thinks it's a bit strange to be like this, but sometimes he thinks it's actually pretty good.

It seems, a little bad.

"Although it's a pity, but since this is the case, there is no way."

Ace spread his hands, pretending not to care.

"Ah."

Seeing that Ace didn't care, Wayne didn't say anything, picked up the fishing rod that was put aside, Wayne walked to the stern, sat down quietly, and started fishing again.

Fortunately, the previous wave didn't sweep this and the fishing rod away, otherwise he wouldn't even have the only activity to pass the time at sea.

Furthermore, if he was lucky enough, maybe he could catch a delicious fish this time as well.

At least it can make up for Ace who didn't eat that deep-sea cherry blossom fish.

Wayne thought so.

I have to say that Wayne's food luck is really good. After catching several small and pitiful fish and putting them back into the sea, after a period of waiting, Wayne finally caught a large-looking fish. big fish.

It was a very big fish, no different in appearance from other sea fishes, except that it was a little bigger than ordinary sea fishes in size.

With Ace's help, Wayne catches the fish.In the process of pulling the wire, Wayne would inevitably raise his head during the force, and at that time, his eyes came into contact with the dazzling sunlight in the sky.

Wayne suddenly felt dizzy, his feet were unsteady, and his hands loosened from holding the fishing rod. If it wasn't for Ace who took the fishing rod by the side, he almost let the hooked fish escape.

"Wayne, are you okay?"

Throwing the fish he had already caught with the fishing rod aside, Ace supported Wayne who almost fell to the ground, and asked with concern.

"Probably sitting there for too long, a little dizzy, nothing."

Wayne rubbed his swollen temples and shook his head at Ace, telling him not to worry.

"Compared to that, I think we should find a place to cook this fish first."

Wayne pointed to the sea fish on the kayak that was still alive and kicking, and seemed to want to jump back into the sea, raised his head and said to Ace.

Ace nodded in agreement, and then changed the direction of the kayak. After a while, a seemingly uninhabited island gradually came into sight of the two of them.

I have to say that although Ace is a single cell, he has a good sense of direction, at least he won't get lost like his brother.

Wayne leaned against the edge of the kayak, looked up at the warm sun in the sky, the dazzling sunlight made him squint his eyes, and the dizziness from before seemed to return to him.

I don't know if it's his illusion, but he always feels that the sun at this time looks vague.

"Wayne, we're here, come down quickly."

Wayne was staring at the sun in the sky in a daze, when suddenly Ace called him in his ears, Wayne looked around, and at some point, they had arrived at an unknown island.

In front is a dense and lush green forest, with uneven and towering ancient trees densely gathered together, blocking the situation inside the forest, but it doesn't look like a small inhabited island.

Ace got out of the kayak with the big fish early in the morning, ran to the island, found a place that looked relatively open, put down the fish in his hand, and then faced Wayne who was still standing on the kayak. Greet him and let him disembark.

As soon as his right foot stepped on the land, the inexplicable dizziness swept over again. The steps under his feet seemed a little sloppy, and he walked a little unsteadily.

"Vin, are you really okay? Your face seems to be very red."

Ace looked at Wayne's blushing face, and his brows were tightly frowned. He always felt that something was wrong with Wayne at this moment.

"Well, probably the sun is too big today, it doesn't matter."

Wayne touched his cheek, which was a little hot, looked up at the strong sunlight above his head, and shook his head indifferently, telling Ace not to care.

Walking in front of the freshly caught fish, Wayne took out the kitchen knife that Hurst gave him from the back of the newly bought backpack on Sakula Island.

The black blade was tightly wrapped with layers of white bandages to prevent the sharp blade from accidentally cutting himself.Carefully, layer by layer, the bandages on the kitchen knife were slowly removed, and a very sharp kitchen knife with a black blade lay quietly in Wayne's hands like this.

Under the sun, the black blade exudes a icy, penetrating light, highlighting its danger and sharpness.

"what is this?"

Ace approached Wayne curiously, looked at the kitchen knife in Wayne's hand, and asked suspiciously.

The whole body of this kitchen knife exudes an aggressive chill, and it is definitely not an ordinary item that can be seen everywhere. Although it is a bit impolite to say so, Ace feels that the sharpness of this kitchen knife is by no means inferior to Vista's foil sword.

Ace doesn't think that Wayne bought this kitchen knife in the shop on Sakura Island. This kind of thing, not to mention, would never appear in a shop on a small island like Sakula. Even if it did, he would Don't think Wayne can afford it either.

"This? The name of this kitchen knife is Black Flame. It was given to me by Huster. It is said that he made it himself. I didn't expect Huster to be a knife maker. I really can't tell."

When talking about Huster, Wayne seems to talk more, staring at the black kitchen knife in his hand with satisfaction, Wayne is very grateful to Huster for giving him a kitchen knife that fits his hand so well.

It's just that he really didn't expect that a man with such a strong aura like Hurst would be a knife maker who makes kitchen knives. Although he didn't look down on the profession of a knife maker, he always felt that a person like Hurst would be a knife maker. Famous swordsmiths are such a waste.

"..."

Ace didn't speak, but just stared closely at the unusual-looking kitchen knife in Wayne's hand, a complex look flashed in his eyes for a moment.

fleeting.

Not noticing Ace's abnormality, Wayne held the black flame in his right hand, stared at the huge fish under his feet seriously, and thought about where to start.

You can also try the sharpness and chirality of this kitchen knife.

Any chef hopes to find a kitchen knife that is suitable for him. Compared with those gorgeous and expensive kitchen knives, what a chef needs most is a kitchen knife that suits him.

Looking at the black flame in his hand, Wayne thought with some expectation.

Then in the next second, almost without warning, a small roar suddenly sounded in my ears, and the roar seemed to grow louder and louder, from far to near, constantly hitting the fragile eardrum, until the whole world was filled with After this strange roar, there was no other sound.

The line of sight seemed to become more and more blurred. Wayne raised his head and looked towards the direction where Ace was standing. It was the water surface hit by pebbles, and everything within sight became blurred.

"Wayne, Wayne, what's wrong with you..."

Ace's voice seemed to come from far away, mixed with a lot of noise, Wayne couldn't hear what he was saying.

Breathing seems to be a bit heavy, there are all kinds of noisy sounds in the ear, but I can hear my heartbeat clearly, it is so clear, like the sound of a drum, the sound is getting louder and louder, and the eardrum seems to be Vibrate with the sound of heartbeat.

"Boom" "Boom"

After a while of dizziness, the TV in front of me seemed to be cut off suddenly, and it became pitch black.

His feet were soft, and Wayne fell straight down without warning. In the dimness, Wayne felt as if he had been caught by someone.

I fell into a very warm embrace.

Warm like a flame.

"Are you still sick?"

Ace put his right hand on Wayne's forehead, and the unusually high temperature in his palm made him frown.

The temperature is so hot that even after eating Shao Shao fruit, his body temperature is much higher than that of other people, he can feel the temperature in his palm is unusual.

Ace suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. He has never been sick since before. Luffy and Sabo are just like him. They are in unbelievably good health. Since childhood, they have only suffered injuries from fighting with others. As for illness, etc. things, never happened.

The people around Dad, one or two are as strong as monsters, so things like getting sick will never happen to them.

However, he remembered that Marco had told him that at sea, getting sick and having a fever was a very dangerous thing, and ordinary people with weak constitutions might die if they were not careful.

He didn't pay much attention to Marco's words, after all, the companions around him were a group of tough guys who could fight ten against one.

But this time, Marco's calm and lazy voice suddenly sounded in Ace's mind.

He seems to have forgotten one important thing, Wayne, he is just an ordinary person.

Wayne, possibly dying?

Ace looked in disbelief at Wayne, who was lying in his arms with a flushed face and a hot body. His condition seemed to be serious, and he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

It was as if someone had tightly grasped the beating organ in the left chest with his hands, as if he had sunk naked into the sea water, the suffocation feeling like drowning made him almost unable to breathe, very Very uncomfortable.

Just like how he felt when he saw Sabo's ship sunk by the Draconians a long time ago.

Sad to the point of despair.

Could it be that he is really the same as those people said when he was a child, he is the son of the devil, he should not be born in this world, and his existence will only bring disasters like a curse to those around him?

That's why the people around him that he cares about will all encounter accidents one after another.

First Sabo, then Wayne...
