[Comprehensive] Fire Boxer's Little Chef

"How about it, Luffy, have you found Nami and the others?"

The vast expanse of desert is steaming with dense heat, the heat in the air seems to be materialized, and there are layers of transparent heat waves under the sun.

The air is particularly dull, making people almost out of breath. The midday sun is too dazzling, shining on the desert covered by a piece of yellow sand, reflecting golden rays of light, making people have to lower their heads to be able to enjoy this place. Barely moving forward in the desert.

"Hey, Luffy."

Ace waited for a long time and didn't hear anyone answering him. He raised his head in doubt, and besides a vast desert, there was only Wayne walking side by side with him.

"Win, have you seen Luffy and the others?"

After looking around several times, he could only see a desert. Ace finally gave up looking for Luffy and the others, and asked his partner instead.

"We got separated from them."

After a moment of silence, Wayne's voice came faintly from the oversized robe on his body.

"..."

"You should know the way to Yuba."

Wayne suddenly remembered a very serious problem. Even though Ace's sense of direction is not bad, but in such a desert full of yellow sand, he may not be able to figure out the north, south, east, west, and north. Ace can find the way to Juba. road?

"..."

Ace fell silent again.

Looking down at the footprints of the two left on the yellow sand, Wayne couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

……

"Can this be eaten?"

Accompanied by an earth-shaking movement, a huge scorpion suddenly appeared from the bottom of the yellow sand. Its whole body was covered with a thick lavender shell, and it looked like it was poisonous.

Ace stared at the scorpion that suddenly appeared to block their way for three seconds, then turned around and asked Wayne, with his right hand on his stomach, as if hinting that Wayne was hungry .

"If you are not afraid of being poisoned, I don't mind cooking for you."

Wayne glanced at Ace indifferently, as if he didn't notice the anticipation in Ace's eyes, he left such a sentence indifferently.

In fact, although this kind of scorpion is poisonous, it is not a serious toxin. Wayne can indeed cook it successfully, but this is not his small restaurant, and it does not have such complete equipment. He is always able to cook it, and it is also a clever woman. It's hard to cook without rice.

"Oh……"

Ace looked a little disappointed, probably because he felt sorry for losing a good meal for no reason, he turned around after oh, and faced the huge poisonous scorpion in front of him again.

A few seconds later, a burst of orange-red raging fire rushed straight into the sky, as if it was going to dye the sky orange red with flames.

And the huge poisonous scorpion that stood in front of the two of them ended up in the same fate as the huge lizard before, it was burnt and tender.

Endless raging flames were burning in front of his eyes, and the shirtless young man turned his back to him, and a part of his body also turned into flames, melting into it, like a legendary phoenix reborn from the ashes in the country where he was in his previous life.

It is true that Ace is not a legendary creature like a beast, and naturally he will not be reborn in the fire. Ace is just a human being who has eaten the power of a devil fruit.

As long as it is a human being, it cannot escape the fate of reincarnation.

But even if one day he will die forever, Wayne also hopes that Ace will die naturally when he is old, instead of being killed by others at the age of 20.

In the black and white eyes, what is reflected at this time is a living image, but in the endless midnight dream, what is only reflected in the pupils full of grief is a cold marble tombstone.

The cross touched in the nightmare, the cold touch at that time seemed to be real, leaving an indelible biting cold on the palm, even though the surrounding temperature had reached an unspeakable high temperature, Wayne But he felt as if his whole body had sunk into a pool of icy water, so cold that it was almost hopeless.

Nightmares that originally only appeared at night now come to mind at this moment. Those unknown but suffocating negative emotions rushed into my mind like a tide, and my vision gradually blurred, as if being caught by something. To cover the general.

"Eh? Wayne, are you crying?"

Ace's voice suddenly sounded beside him, and Wayne, who was lost in memory, came back to his senses.

Wipe his face with his right hand a few times, feeling the moisture from his palm, Wei En couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

"Why are you crying?"

Ace's voice sounded a little cautious at this moment, but more of a sense of helplessness.

He just turned around and killed a monster, why when he turned around, he found his companion was looking at him with tears, who could tell him what happened in such a short period of time just now.

This was the first time he saw Wayne cry.

He has always thought that Wayne is a very reserved person. Even if he has the same emotions as ordinary people, he never expresses them easily. At least since he knew him, most of Wayne's faces are full of emotions. That calm and indifferent expression.

Wayne, his expression is much rarer than that of ordinary people.

But even so, it doesn't mean that Wayne has facial paralysis. Although it is only a flash in the pan, he has seen Wayne's smile a few times when he is happy. But Wayne could laugh.

As for anger, he had experienced Wayne's getting up angry many times, and this time, he left Wayne behind, and Wayne sulked quietly.

But no matter what kind of expression, Ace didn't expect that one day he would see Wayne crying.

Still in this inexplicable situation.

He was able to confirm that he did not do anything to make Wayne cry, and he was even more at a loss for the unreasonable tears on Wayne's face.

He didn't know how he should ask Wayne why he was crying, let alone how to make him stop crying.

Only one thing, he can confirm, he doesn't like the tears on Wayne's face.

He didn't like it very much, he didn't like it so much that he wanted to wipe away all those tears himself.

His partner should be the young man who is always calm and calm, occasionally reveals a very faint smile, has a little temper after being woken up from sleep, and is rarely a little confused. .

The young man with a pleasant smell of lemon is not suitable for the appearance of tears all over his face.

"Sand got in the eyes."

After a long silence, Wayne spoke slowly.

He himself didn't know why he was crying, he didn't even know when the tears fell from his eyes, or when they left two lines of wet marks on his face.

So he can only answer Ace with the most common and old-fashioned excuses.

He didn't understand the reason himself, so how could he explain it to others.

"..."

"..."

Ace didn't speak, and Wayne didn't speak either. This kind of deathly silence spread gently between the two at an extremely slow speed.

Relatively silent.

Wayne didn't know what he should say to break this suffocating atmosphere of silence, and he even suddenly felt that this temporary atmosphere of silence might be more suitable for him now.

At least it would give him time to relieve his restless mind.

But the next moment, he felt the weight of his shoulders on both sides, Ace put his hands on his shoulders, and caught off guard, a very familiar face appeared in front of him, Ace's face and his face, Only centimeters away.

……

too close……

At this moment, Wei En's heart was filled with these three words, and all other things in his mind were swept away for a while, leaving only these three words floating in his empty mind.

In the next second, his eyes felt a slight breeze, and his weak eyes couldn't bear the slight stimulation, so they couldn't help blinking a few times. It turned out that Ace was blowing into his eyes.

"Is it better now?"

Ace let go of Wayne's shoulder, and a sunny smile appeared on his face again.

"..."

Wayne touched his face in a daze, and the part wet with tears had dried at some point, leaving only two shallow tear marks.

"Ah, much better."

……

On the next road, Wayne returned to his original appearance again, quietly following Ace, and occasionally answered aloud when Ace talked to him.

When passing through a small town, Ace conquered a group of pseudo-rebels there, and then met Luffy and the others. With the assistance of Luffy, the group of pseudo-rebels became the real heroes of this town.

After arriving in Yuba, defeating the scorpion man, and learning that the black beard was just a gimmick for the scorpion man to lure Ace over, Ace finally made up his mind to part ways with Luffy here.

Handing his life card to Luffy, Ace left in the opposite direction to Luffy without looking back.

"Thank you for taking care of me along the way, so let's just leave here."

Wayne glanced calmly at the white paper that reflected Ace's vitality in Luffy's hand, and then said goodbye to everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Hey, Wayne, let's go."

Ace's shout came from behind, and Wayne nodded hurriedly to the crowd, then caught up with Ace and walked side by side with him.

"Ah, let's go, Ace."

Until Ace's figure completely left everyone's sight, Nami sighed with some regret.

"Eh? Is Nami-san interested in Ace? I'm so sad."

Sanji, who was moved by the wind, leaned in front of Nami with tears all over his face, twisting his body unnaturally.

"No, I feel sorry for Weiwei."

Nami mercilessly patted Sanji's approaching face away, and looked in Vivi's direction.

"Eh? What's wrong with me?"

Weiwei, whose name was suddenly mentioned, was a little confused.

"Ace definitely has a crush on you, I saw you chatting last night, and this morning too."

"Eh? There's no such thing, Essang is already a very good communication partner, that's why we talked so much."

Weiwei's face turned a little red, not sure if it was from the sun or for some other reason.

"No need to explain, I know everything."

"It's really gone, and Mr. Ace already has someone he likes."

Weiwei repeatedly waved her hands in denial, with a slightly embarrassed look on her face.

"What? Ace has someone he likes? Who is who?"

Nami, who heard this gossip, immediately didn't care about running on Weiwei, and rushed to inquire about this explosive news.

"Nani? Ace has someone he likes, why didn't I know?"

Hearing this sentence, Lu Fei immediately joined him. As a younger brother, how could he even miss his brother's gossip? The members of the bandit group also followed suit.

They have a good impression of Lu Fei's brother, so they naturally want to hear gossip about Ace.

"Um, I'm just guessing, hehehe."

Seeing everyone's gossiping gazes, Vivi felt a sense of relief, and several drops of cold sweat could not help but flow from her forehead.

"cut……"

After everyone heard this answer, they all dispersed in boredom, leaving Weiwei standing there alone, wondering what she was thinking.

……

"What kind of person does Mr. Ace like?"

"What kind of person do you like? Well, let me think about it... Probably the kind of person who is always calm and indifferent, but in fact is always helping me silently. He doesn't talk much, but he is very serious. The kind of person who listens carefully to what I say."

"Hey... Mr. Ace, your taste is really unique."

"Yeah, maybe, hahaha."

……

Weiwei remembered that when Ace said these words last night, his eyes were fixed on Wayne who was sitting not far away.

At that time, Ace's expression was like the twinkling stars in the sky, so soft that one couldn't help but indulge in it...

Weiwei thought, that kind of expression should be the so-called expression that only shows up when you like someone.
