[One Piece] Isano's Rebel

The light from the oil lamp on the wall reflected two shadows facing each other.

"Adelina, I know this is cruel to you..."

Ace lowered his head, looked at Adelina who had been silent since seeing the first page of the cowhide book, and spoke slowly.

She didn't scroll down.

The ink handwriting on the first page, concise and clear, speaks for itself.

Adelina pursed her lips, her eyes fixed on where on the paper.Her face was so calm that she was almost pale, and her fingers that were holding the paper tightly were already congested with blood.

Only when she is really fighting the enemy, will Adeline burst out with a chilling and murderous aura-but at this time, she is like a little beast with red eyes that has been driven to a desperate situation, as if as long as she is given With just one vent, she can tear her prey to pieces.She was trying her best to restrain herself, resisting the idea of ​​finding Boridon immediately to find out all the reasons, restraining the urge to draw a knife and rush to the Navy headquarters to question Isano Jack.

This look of being on the verge of collapse but trying his best to restrain himself is really distressing to Ace.

Adeline wanted to know what had happened during the time she didn't know.

Why did Buridon voluntarily accept such a cruel experimental transformation, why would he willingly live like a killing weapon.

...Why, the guarantor for this experiment had the name she least wanted to see written on it.

Isano Jack.

He was the one who abandoned her parents.

He was also the one who gave up her innocent and carefree childhood as a child.

After so many years, Boridon became the supporter of the killing weapon, and it was still him.

Adelina remembers the answer Isano Jack gave her when she was five years old, dragged the worn-out puppet and stood in front of Isano Jack’s study door crying and asking him why he didn’t save her parents .

——Orton went to save the fire phoenix, indicating that he chose to stand on the opposite side of the Isano naval family.

At that time, she wanted to ask the man in front of him with a cold face and a navy coat.

In your eyes, apart from the justice you believe in and your firm stand, everything else is irrelevant.

"Ace." Adelina looked up, showing a smile that was more forced than crying, "Back in the training camp, Boridon joked, 'We live with those who set the program There is no difference between the weapons'..."

——Maybe it will really evolve into a weapon someday, haha.

——At that time, Dinah, I can easily break this cage, and then we can go out to sea and adventure together.

"Stop thinking about hard memories."

Ace lowered his eyes and embraced the thin girl in front of him.

His hand stroked the hair on the back of her head——

"Go find him, and find out everything you want to know."

Ace can always easily sort out her worries and annoyances.

She took a deep breath, smelling the reassuring scent of him.

He can always be with her like this.

always.

……

"Why did Ace leave suddenly?"

Chichila on the deck was holding a delicious grilled chicken wing in her hand, and asked the lame Beddy who didn't know when to come to her side.

Skaar, who was working as a handyman, interjected silently, "Probably something important."

Chichila bit the chicken wing and nodded, glanced at Bedi who was a little embarrassed, took out a tiny insect skeleton from his pocket and threw it into Skaar's hand, "here, here you are."

When Scarl, who was obsessed with skeletons, was sent away, Beddy looked around to make sure that no one was looking at them, and then carefully pulled Chichila and asked, "I'm asking you, who are you and 'Strange Thief' Bradley?" What's the matter?"

"That guy?" Chichira seemed surprised that Bradley would ask Bradley, the little boy held his chin and curled his lips, "He was there when I was arrested, Ace and Dinah asked him for In the end, I don’t know why the three of them came to rescue me together, that’s all.”

"Ask him for information?" Bedi was stunned, "Then they must have gone to the Kingdom of Thieves..."

Chichila was so focused on the food that she didn't really pay attention to what Beddy was saying, but she nodded very cooperatively.

At this time, another leisurely voice floated from the side, "'Kingdom of Thieves'? Very interesting adventure material, it seems that I have time to ask Ace and the others for clarification."

Qiqila was taken aback by the sudden appearance of Maskud Dousse, who was holding an old notebook and writing something quickly.

Deus looked at the figure of Bedi who had gone away, and turned his head to look at Qiqila, "Why do you think he suddenly asked you about the 'Phantom Thief'?"

"I don't know." Qiqila spread his hands, "Maybe he is a little bit dissatisfied with everyone saying that he doesn't know the information about the Kingdom of Thieves? Old Bedi has always had a good face."

Deus nodded in agreement.

At this time, the tall Marshall Teach walked past the short Chichila, and when he grinned, he showed several missing teeth, "Boy, why are you sitting here so boring?"

Although he is also a member of the second team, Qiqila is not familiar with Tiqi, and there are still a few conversations. In Qiqila's impression, Tiqi has always been just a loose uncle without ambition——

In terms of seniority, Tiki came to the Whitebeard Pirates many years earlier than Ace, but he did not compete with Ace for the captain's position.

Even Tiki didn't seem to have shown a particularly great interest in the positions of combatants such as Qiqila and Adelina.

Chichila still remembers a guess Adelina inadvertently made a long time ago——

It always felt like Marshall was waiting for something.

Sage was in the middle of the crowd guessing the ability of the devil fruit he got with everyone.

Looking at Tiqi's tall figure slipping into the crowd, Qiqila was thoughtful.

……

The sea gradually merged with the night.The crescent-white light in the dark blue night sky was finally blocked by the slowly moving gray clouds.The sea breeze in the middle of the night was very harsh, and the seagulls hovering above the sea fled the undulating sea in a hurry when a smell of blood came, but a young gull who knew nothing about the world stayed in place, flapping its fledgling wings , staring curiously at the tall figure in the hidden place on the deck.

A cold light flashed, and the little seagull, which had lost half of its wings, fell rapidly from mid-air.

With a plop, circles of dark red blood stained the originally clear sea.

The sharp blade was swallowed by the surging waves of the blue sea.

Sitting in the corner of the deck, the little boy with a large amount of blood on his shoulders stared at the tall figure who was taller than himself by how many heads, exhausted his last strength, and cursed a bastard in a small voice—— Then he lost consciousness.

A small motorboat, which had been prepared long ago, was moving against the current at an extremely fast speed.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was gray, and the sun hid behind the soft white clouds for some reason, leaving behind a faint glimmer of sunlight.

There was an inexplicable smell in the air, which made Adelina frowned subconsciously when she opened the glass window just after waking up.

Adelina, who was still drowsy, was still awake, but her nose gave an instinctive judgment—the smell of blood and the smell of decay.

Adelina shuddered, and she immediately came to her senses.

The heart suddenly hung in the air as if it had lost weight. She suppressed the heart, feeling that something bad was going to happen.

There was a mess of footsteps on the ceiling, followed by chaotic voices.

Adelina turned her head and kicked open the door. The moment she stepped out of the room, she bumped into Ace who came out of the next room. The two looked at each other and rushed towards the corridor leading to the deck at the same time.

They came back in a hurry yesterday, and their rucksacks were still piled up on the side of the deck railing. When Adelina passed by, she threw the black leather book into her unzipped backpack.

After anxiously pushing away from the crowd, what caught the two of them was the seriously injured Qiqila who was receiving emergency treatment, and Saqi, the captain of the fourth team, who was lying in a pool of blood that was almost dry.

The treasure chest that Saqi brought yesterday was empty.

Whitebeard held the long knife in his hand, his rough palm full of calluses and scars, at this moment he held the handle tightly, as if a little more force could forcefully pinch this fine weapon.

Marco's face was ashen.

The moment he saw Sachi, who had lost his breath of life, Ace yelled in anger, "Which bastard did this?!" Frightened, several ordinary correspondents took a few steps back and fell to the ground.Adeline wanted to rush to Chichila, but was stopped by a ship's doctor who said Chichila needed urgent treatment.She restrained the urge to draw a knife and slash people, and suppressed the anger and anger that surged up in her heart in an instant, and her heart ached from the ensuing negative emotions.

She had to stand aside, and the image of Qiqila who was shot in Candy City many years ago and was close to death in her mind overlapped with the appearance of Qiqila in front of her at this moment.

In the Whitebeard Pirates, hurting your companions is the only way to die.

Ace clenched his fists, his nails almost digging into his skin.

When the atmosphere was heavy and stalemate, Qiqila, who was lying on the ground, said angrily, "It's... cough, it's Tiki."

His little pale face was completely drained of color.

Everyone present was shocked, and for a moment, there was no sound on the entire ship.

"He killed Sarge and took away the devil fruit..." Qiqila pressed the half-bandaged wound with one hand, and spoke with difficulty, "I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, I wanted to go to the kitchen to find something to eat... I met Sarge I opened the treasure chest, but Tiqi suddenly jumped out to attack—Tiki, he has been hiding his strength on the ship for so many years... That guy... until the last moment Saatchi believed him, if Saatchi hadn't stopped me from making a move in the first place Saying 'Maybe there was a misunderstanding' or something, how could that bastard Tiqi escape unharmed!"

At the end of the conversation, a fishy-sweet drop of blood surged from Qiqila's throat.

"Qiqila, don't talk about it." Marco squatted down on the side, "Heal the wound first."

"Father." Marco looked up at the white beard, his face was ashen, and he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but he exuded a frightening and terrifying aura.

"Father!" Ace, whose mind was occupied by anger, suddenly walked up to Whitebeard, "I'm going to get Tiki back!"

White Beard, who had been silent all this time, gave an order in a low voice full of absolute majesty.

"Ace, you are not allowed to go."

Adelina's pupils trembled.

Not only her, but several crew members around who wanted to pursue Tiqi were stunned at this moment.

Ace yelled excitedly, "Dad?! He killed our companion! He killed Thatch!"

"I said don't go!"

A low growl full of coercion came, and everyone froze in place.

"Listen, everyone..."

"Dad!"

Adelina stepped forward and confronted the strongest man in the world. Under the courage and momentum of the white beard, she tried to maintain her calm and rationality, "What's the reason?"

She knew very well that the man in front of her hated the villain who hurt his companion for personal gain the most in his life.

So why?

However, before Whitebeard could speak, Ace picked up the rucksack on the floor with a sullen face. Regardless of Marco's obstruction, he climbed over the deck railing and jumped to a motorboat connected to the Moby Dick with a rope. middle.

"Tichi is my subordinate, he killed his companions. As the captain, how could I let him go?!"

He raised his face, and there was firm determination on his young and handsome face.

Adelina threw the backpack onto her shoulder almost without thinking. She leaned on the railing with one hand, turned her head and shouted, "Father, I'll go with him."

Qiqila clutched her wound, staggered to her feet, trying to stop her, "Dinah, wait—"

However, before taking a step, Qiqila fell to the ground again.

Adelina could vaguely guess Whitebeard's intention to stop Ace.

He was able to kill the fourth captain Sage and severely wound the main combatant Qiqila—except for the momentary negligence of Saqi and Qiqila, Tichi's successful sneak attack shows that he has hidden most of his strength for so many years ——In addition to the strength bonus of the devil fruit, she and Ace went to hunt it down, and the risk was unknown.It's not like she didn't hear what Qiqila stopped her just now.

Finding Tiki is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

A person cannot be resurrected after death.They have lost a companion.

This revenge must be avenged, but the unknown risks lie there, and no one is willing to bear the pain of losing a companion again.

All kinds of complicated considerations, in the end, still can't match the most authentic voice in my heart.

She knew that once Ace made up his mind, he would definitely do it, and it would be useless for others to dissuade him.

Because this is his responsibility as the captain.

Even if she could suppress her anger and hatred with reason, she still couldn't suppress her worries about him in her heart.

Regardless of everyone's obstruction, she climbed over the railing, jumped off and landed firmly on Ace's motorboat.

Ace glanced back at her, and before he could say anything, she slammed her backpack on the seat of the motorboat, "Listen, I can't let you go alone."

Her beautiful blue eyes shone with the name Resolute.

"Okay." Ace raised the corners of his mouth, then turned his head, looking at the wide but turbulent azure sea ahead.

"let's go."

The flames are lit.

The waves surged.

At this time, several crew members who were huddled on the railing and watched the motorboat go away looked at Marco in embarrassment, "Captain, this..."

With Marco's support, Qiqila walked up to Whitebeard, "Father, Tiqi's strength... is far from what I thought it was."

Whitebeard frowned, and the hand holding the long knife became more and more vigorous.

"...Ticky."

In the hoarse and deep voice, there was a hint of calm and domineering.

The author has something to say:

something happened...

I always feel that Whitebeard and the others stop Ace because they are afraid that something will happen to him...[It means that you can’t lose Ace after losing Sage QAQ

It is certain to find Blackbeard for revenge, but it needs the right time and place

Going it alone is risky indeed.

Adelina has always been calm, and even when it comes to the matter of Buridon, she will try her best to restrain her negative emotions so that she can calm down and analyze the pros and cons.

But when it comes to Ace, she almost doesn't think about it and just follows along.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Boridon has a lower position than Ace in her heart. It can only be said that family affection and love have different influences on people.
