[Pirate] Navy King

Ace is hit by another storm.

After returning to the identity of "Ace", the first thing he did was to return to his childhood hometown - Windmill Village.

When Garp was found in Makino's Tavern, he was already drunk on the bar.

And Makino was about to entertain the guests, the moment he looked over with a smile on his face, the smile froze immediately, and then gradually, big and big teardrops fell down.

By the time he realized it, Makino had already hugged him tightly.

"woo woo woo woo……"

Makino's cries woke Garp up.

"Well, what's going on, Makino..."

Garp turned his head, the smile that used to appear frequently in his mind now appeared vividly in front of his eyes, Garp rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"I... am I in Santuchuan?"

Ace smiled helplessly: "It's impossible for the proprietress to go to Santuchuan with her!"

Makino slapped Ace: "Why...you talk like that!"

Makino's eyes were red from crying, but the joy that could not be concealed made her entire face radiate.

"Also... that is to say... Ace, you..."

"what……"

Ace walks over to Garp and gives him a big smile.

"I'm back, Grandpa!"

"You...you bastard!!" Garp raised his fist and hit Ace on the head directly, but Ace didn't feel any pain from this punch, but instead had a kind of nostalgia and melancholy.

Looking up, Garp really showed a twisted expression of whether to cry or not.

"You bastard, since you're not dead, why don't you come back and take a look? Both of you want to piss me off, don't you?"

"Oh, you also know that I have indeed been executed in name, wouldn't it be very troublesome if I showed up ostentatiously?"

Karp also understands this truth, and what he said just now was just a casual complaint.

Now, he can be said to understand everything.The beheading at the beginning was simply a play.It was a scene directed and acted by Yinshi in order to protect Ace.

"It's really playing us around! But, if you say that, then he..."

If there is one, there are two, did Yinshi also deliberately pretend to be dead like Ace?

Aware of Garp's unfinished words, Ace suppressed his smile and shook his head lightly.

"...Obviously I got a lot of things from Yinshi, but in the end, I couldn't give him anything back..."

Hearing what Ace said, Karp's expectant eyes gradually disappeared.But soon he was smiling again.

"Yinshi...he won't care about these things."

"As long as you live well, it is probably the greatest reward for him."

"Whether it's you or... us."

yes……

Ace lowered his head to cover his sad eyes.

When he owed too much money, it was already to the point where he would not be able to repay it in the next life.

After that, he went to see Dadan, and a group of bandits cried when they saw Esther.

That night, after having a meal with Garp, Dadan and others, and sleeping in the Windmill Village for the night, Ace continued on the journey.

That is, the storm that Ace encountered after starting from the East China Sea again.

Thankfully, now that the Devil Fruit's abilities are completely gone, he doesn't have to worry about being drowned.It's just that if it goes on for a long time, I'm afraid he will die of starvation or thirst.

In such a daze, Ace was washed up on an island.

And it's a very familiar island.

"Hey, is it true? Are you back again?"

Ace looked around in surprise.

"Wow, I miss it so much! I got my abilities here, and I also met my first partner. I don't know what happened to Deus and others..."

"...Ace?!"

Hearing the unbelievable call, Ace turned his head, only to see two very familiar men and women appearing in front of him, staring at him in a daze.

Even Ace was stunned.

"You... Deus, and... Iska?"

The moment they said their names, Deus and Iska had completely dispelled their doubts, and they rushed forward with tears streaming down their faces.

"Ace!! I'm not dreaming? You're still alive!!"

"Great!! Really great!!!"

Ace, who was thrown to the ground by them, smiled helplessly.

"I made you worry! Sorry, sorry! Well, I'm back!"

Both Dousse and Iska were so excited that they didn't want to let go of Ace at all, for fear that he would disappear in the next second.

"However, Ace, what method did you use to successfully escape? Didn't you have been given by your brother Navy... Could it be..."

"Ah, you all know? Well, yes..."

Ace smiled wryly, and told all the things Yinshi had done for him.

And listening to Ace's narration, even Deus, including Iska's face turned pale.

"...That's it. If it wasn't for Gintoki, I'm afraid I would have settled down in Santuchuan."

"How...how could..."

Iska covered her mouth tightly, her body trembling because of the shaking.

"Then...then we treat him...don't you..."

So did Seuss, clenched his fists angrily.

"...We are too reckless..."

Seeing them like this, Ace couldn't help asking in surprise: "What's the matter with you? By the way, by the way, aren't you a navy, Iska? Why are you here with Deus?"

"I………"

Iska couldn't speak.

Since that day when she and Deus failed to kill Yinshi, Iska decided that she would be avenged by Yinshi, so she simply quit her job in the navy and lived on this uninhabited island with Ace's memories.But now, the belated truth is gnawing at Iska's heart over and over again.

"I... I said a lot to him..."

"I also……"

He was obviously protecting his brother, but he had to "kill" him with his own hands, even though he wanted to protect him.It is obviously painful enough, but in order to protect the other party, he has to bear all the infamy.

【Really... It's actually for this kind of thing...】

【Whatever you say...Anyway, whether you admit it or not doesn't affect me at all. 】

Thinking of Yinshi's indifferent words, at this moment, Deus really understood that this is the real brother that Ace trusts and values.

However, this guilt has been of no avail.

After that, Ace continued to start again.One day, he found Candy Town.

Ace, who had a deep understanding of Yinshi's favorite sweets, stepped on this island, which shocked him greatly.

The entrance of this small town is actually a huge sculpture of Yinshi.

Not only that, but there are posters, portraits, and dolls of Yinshi everywhere in it, and even the patterns of some snacks are Yinshi's head.

This scene left Ace at a loss for what to say.

He asked a random person.

"You mean this? It's our mayor's interest."

"...Who is your mayor?"

"You can see it in a while." The other party said friendly, "After all, today is a big day for her wedding!"

"……wedding?"

As soon as the words fell, a very romantic tune came out.Petals are flying all over the sky, and a beautiful woman in a noble and luxurious wedding dress stands on a gorgeous and high-profile sedan chair with stilts and a canopy.

And Ace recognized it.

"...ah, it's Medusa, wait a minute, then her groom is..."

When he saw the man beside Medusa, even Ace was speechless.

Medusa was waving to everyone with a happy smile.

"Look, Darling, everyone is blessing us! We must be happy!"

The groom next to him is a life-sized silver toki doll.

At this time, when the wind blew, the puppet fell directly on Medusa's body.Medusa hugged each other excitedly.

"Yeah~ Lord Gintoki, you really hate me, why can't you wait so long? I'm so shy in front of so many people~~"

"…………………"

Just like that, Ace silently watched the sedan chair go away.

Even if he had no conscience, Ace couldn't say the words "I wish you happiness" to her.

So, instead he left five words.

"as long as you are happy."

Ace, who started again, met someone who made him very happy on the next part of the journey.

"Sabo!"

"Ace! Why are you here?"

"Well, how should I put it, I just want to look around. But you, haven't you become a maritime patrol envoy? Why are you here? Could it be..."

"Ah, just found a country around here that still regards the registration status system as a national law. But it has been resolved."

For Sabo, who was the son of a noble in the past, he was the one who hated the so-called theory of blood the most.Therefore, the execution was merciless.

That night, the two drank while lying on the beach watching the stars.

"I went to Wano country to see it before, and it's still the same as before. Ms. Hiyori is still so popular as a singer. Not long ago, a memorial service was specially held for Mr. Gui, and the whole country mourned."

"It's not surprising. To the people of that country, Gui is their national salvation hero, isn't he?"

"That's right... But instead, Mr. Gui's elder brother, Mr. Cavendish, chose to stay in Wano Country as an image director. He even cried while saying that he absolutely cannot let the kingdom created by his younger brother disappear like this. up.

"The two brothers are quite alike."

"It's true... On the other hand, Gintoki and Luffy don't look alike at all..."

Silence unfolded between the two.

The name Yinshi was like a spell, making them all silent.

After a long time, Sabo broke the dead silence with a flat tone.

"I remember reading a storybook when I was young. It said that if a person is a good person, he can become a star after death and continue to shine in the sky. When you say...silver, it will be One of them?"

"That's right... If it's a silver hour, I believe it must be the brightest one."

[From today, we are brothers! 】

The promise of that day seemed to echo in my ears.And in the end, what did they do for this brother?

"Whether it's Mr. Gui or Yinshi, they... must be the brightest and brightest stars!"

"Well, it must be."

Ace raised his head, as if swearing, and shouted loudly.

"Sabo, I... being a brother with Yinshi is the proudest thing in my life!"

Looking at Ace, Sabo also shouted loudly.

"Me too! Yinshi is our proudest, proudest brother!!"

So, never mind, Silver Hour!Even if you are gone, the influence you have brought to us will never disappear!We will be proud of you in this life!

We will always be brothers!
