[Comprehensive] Fire Boxer's Little Chef

Batherilla Island is a quieter island than imagined.

Rather than saying it is quiet, it may be more appropriate to describe it as deserted.

The small town of Inconte, where Wayne lived, was even colder. There were hardly any residents on the entire island.

This may be related to the fact that Ace's life experience was exposed in the Dingshang War two years ago. The residents who originally lived here heard that they all moved out of the island one after another after that.

When he heard these words from an elderly woman on the island, Wayne looked at Ace and turned his eyes away from him when he found that there was nothing unusual on his face.

Ace doesn't seem to care about this...

It should be said that the navy is quite reasonable. Even after knowing the identity of Ace's mother Lujiu, she didn't do anything excessive to her grave.

However, most of the reasons should be attributed to the role of Luffy's grandfather, Lieutenant General Garp, in it.

No matter what, the deceased was like this, that legendary woman was buried on this small island in the South China Sea.

Ace was holding a bouquet of bright red hibiscus flowers in his hand. Wayne accompanied him to search for a certain hillside on the island for a long time before he selected these hibiscus flowers with the most complete petals and the most conspicuous color.

The flower language of hibiscus is slender and considerate beauty. This kind of brightly colored petals has a flower language that does not match its appearance.

Ace's mother, Lujiu, is the opposite of this kind of flower. She is slender and weak on the outside, but she is stronger than anyone else on the inside.

It is not difficult to find Lu Jiu's tomb, it is buried on the hillside where she often overlooks the sea.

The tombstone carved from marble is in the shape of a square, with the name and date of birth and death of the owner of the tombstone engraved in cursive English letters.

Right above the tombstone, there is an old and yellowed photo. Probably because of the age, the appearance of the person in the photo has become blurred, and the original appearance is no longer visible.

The surface of the marble tombstone began to turn yellow, and it could be seen that the tombstone was of a certain age.

Ace stroked the surface of the tombstone lightly, as if stroking a precious treasure.

The expression on his face is also very different from usual, and the facial lines are obviously showing a soft trend. This kind of Ace is not so much gentle as he is remembering something.

The flowers left here at some point in front of the tombstone had withered so much that they couldn't see their original appearance. Ace placed the red hibiscus in his hand in front of the tombstone.

The bright red hibiscus forms a sharp contrast with the gray and white marble tombstone.

"Although I've never met you before, let me call you Mom for now..."

"Before I was ten years old, I was resentful. I resented why I was the son of One Piece and why I came to this world..."

"But now, I think it's great to be able to be born and live in this world..."

"Because I came to this world, I was able to find a younger brother like Luffy, a relative like Dad, and..."

Ace turned his head and glanced at Wayne who was standing silently behind him, then turned his head and smiled slightly at the old and yellowed photo on the tombstone.

"A lover like Wayne..."

"The most regrettable thing is that I couldn't thank you in person. Thank you for giving birth to me at the price of your own life. Thank you so much, mom..."

Ace stood up, bowed deeply to the tombstone several times, then turned around, and said to Wayne who had been standing behind him and watching his back since just now: "Wayne, do you want to say goodbye to the old man?" What did mom say?"

Without adding the proper noun of "mine", Ace's usual bright smile appeared again.

"..."

Wayne glanced at Ace, didn't speak, went straight to the tombstone, and bowed deeply to the woman who couldn't see clearly in the photo.

"Thank you for giving birth to him..."

"Mother."

Wayne turned his head, and as expected, he saw a brighter smile on Ace's face, and an inexplicable slight heat behind his ears.

"Let's go."

Ignoring the constriction in Ace's smile, Wayne lowered his head and turned around without looking back.

"Hey, Wayne, wait for me."

Ace's voice came from behind him.

It seems far away, but also seems very close.

In the evening, the setting sun in the sky is about to set, and the orange-red afterglow dyes the whole sky into a bright color, and the whole world seems to be shrouded in a warm orange light, whether it is buildings, flowers, plants or trees, this A small island in the South China Sea exudes a faint warmth under the shroud of the setting sun.

The yellowed marble tombstone seemed to be covered with a light golden veil under the setting sun. In the old faded photo, the gentle woman who couldn't see clearly had a soft smile on her face.

The bright red hibiscus flowers swayed slowly under the blowing of the sea breeze, and a few bright red petals were separated from the flower branches, and were blown far away with the gentle sea breeze...

The sky is getting late, night falls.

The night is covered with a thick ink-like coat and comes quietly.

On the dark blue sky, dots of fine stars are sprinkled, exuding a faint faint starlight.

"It's really beautiful, the starry sky at night."

Ace lay flat on the hillside, with his head propped on his back, looking at the distant starry sky above, and the soft green grass under his body exuded the fresh smell of grass and trees.

"Haven't you seen it?"

Wayne, who was sitting next to him, also kept looking up at the starry sky. After hearing Ace's voice, he turned his head to look at Ace.

"I've seen it many times. The starry sky above the sea is also very beautiful."

Meeting Wayne's gaze, Ace nodded.

"Just with you, there are only two people looking up at the starry sky like this, this is the first time."

Ace gave Wayne a big smile.

"In the future, there will be many opportunities..."

Wayne raised his head, looked up at the vast and bright starry sky above his head again, and murmured softly.

"Ah, what did you just say...Look, there are shooting stars!"

Ace didn't seem to hear what Wayne muttered to himself, and then, as if he had discovered something extraordinary, he tightly grabbed Wayne's sleeve and pointed to the sky above his head.

Several streams of light passed across the bright night sky, dragging slender tracks, leaving instant traces in this beautiful starry sky.

Immediately afterwards, more and more streamers appeared in the night sky, like raindrops passing through a glass window, cutting through the bright starry sky at night one after another.

"It's a meteor shower!"

With excitement in Ace's voice, he turned over and sat up, sitting side by side with Wayne, looking up at the beautiful scenery presented by the distant starry sky.

Suddenly there was a crackling sound like pouring beans, and Ace felt something falling from above, and it hit him with a crackling sound.

Ace stretched out his right hand and received a round yellow pill the size of a soybean.

"This is Meteor Shower Jelly..."

Before Ace could ask a question, Wayne on the side answered the question for him.

"Can I eat it... Wow, it's delicious, it's lemon flavored!"

After hearing Wayne's words, Ace muttered in doubt, stuffed the jelly beans in his hand into his mouth, and then exclaimed in surprise. Afterwards, as if he had discovered something novel, he collected these kinds of jelly beans that fell from the sky everywhere. jelly beans.

Wayne caught an orange jelly bean and put it in his mouth. The strong orange fragrance wafted in his mouth. The sweet and sour taste made people want to stop. Inexplicably, a faint sense of happiness slowly rose from the bottom of his heart. rise.

Legend has it that people who eat meteor shower jelly beans will receive blessings from the stars all over the sky, and live a happy, safe and worry-free life.

Wayne turned his head to look at Ace who was busy collecting jelly beans, then raised his head to look up at the vast and bright starry sky above his head, and the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch a slight curve.

"thanks……"

Will be happy.

Me, and him...
