The hardest thing in the world to cut is the karma

"No! Ace is dead! Who are you?!!!"

Waking up suddenly, the grievances and longing that had drowned people before instantly turned into monstrous anger.The important person in his heart was so desecrated by Lu Fei, who gritted his teeth and looked ferocious as if he wanted to eat people.

"Luffy wait a minute, you listen to me."

"Second gear!"

Hot steam erupted from the red skin all over the body, the hem of the clothes creaked, the soft short hair exploded like cat fur, and the obviously slender body burst out like a god of war, the oppressive feeling alone was enough Retreat the enemy by ten million.

The misty and invisible mist also seemed to feel threatened, and it retreated around Luffy, clearing out the vacuum area of ​​nearly a hundred miles.

Stretching out his posture, his eyes locked on the "counterfeit" in front of him. The next moment, Luffy disappeared in place, and appeared in front of Ace in the blink of an eye.

"Rubber Rubber - Jet Gun!"

The attack, which was so fast that it was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, passed through Ace's body without stopping, and fell on the ground behind him, knocking up a large number of fallen leaves.

"Rubber rubber-whip!"

Adjusting his posture, he swept his legs and attacked the man fiercely, but was also pierced, without any feeling of hitting anything.

Unlike natural ability users who turn their bodies into fire, sand, light, etc. to avoid physical blows, this person itself seems to be made of mist, which is somewhat similar to ghosts of ghost girls.

Luffy, who was still unable to touch each other after going back and forth in various ways, was finally a little tired, and at the same time his mind became calmer and clearer.

"Ha, ha, ha, what's going on? Obviously, the weapon color is also used, why can't I touch it?"

"Idiot! Your brother and I are dead, and now they are ghosts. Of course you can't touch them!"

Ace hated iron and steel, and wanted to make intimate contact with Buqi's brother's head with itchy hands, but realized that he would also pass through, so he had to give up.

"That, that, you are the real Ace!"

"Don't you even recognize your own brother? Luffy!"

"Ai——————S————————"

The younger brother Yuan, who burst into tears in an instant, saw his younger sister leaping towards her run-up, and of course passed through, hitting the thick leaf carpet and being buried tightly.

"You idiot!"

Ace jumped his feet, trying to pull someone but couldn't do it in a hurry.

Luffy sat up against his dead leaves, and looked at Ace with teary eyes, how pitiful he was.

"Ace, I miss you."

"Hey - I miss you too, Luffy."

His tone softened unconsciously, and Ace knelt down to be at eye level with Luffy.

Seeing that his elder brother, who could only go through the motions in his dream for two years, was right in front of him, Lu Fei burst out laughing.

"Hee hee! I'm strong now, and I can definitely beat you! I've already become domineering, and it's no use turning you into fire!"

"Well, Luffy, you have become stronger, and my brother has been watching over there all the time. You have been wronged in the past two years." Ace also laughed, showing the pride of being a brother, "But I still want to win Very early."

"What?! Otherwise, let's fight!"

"..."

Eyes met in silence, and Luffy, who understood that he was about to say something stupid, became depressed, and tears gathered in his big eyes.

Ace sighed helplessly and dotingly: "I'm still a crybaby. How can my brother leave with peace of mind when you have such a useless brother like you."

"Why is Ace here?"

"Well--this place is quite special, and I'm sure you won't understand if I explain it to you."

"Who said that? Tell me! I can understand you!"

"This is the junction of the world where the living live and the world where the dead live. Residents on both sides can reach here but absolutely cannot go to the other side's world. Do you understand?"

"That's right, an incredible place."

"Congratulations, you got the answer right." Ace showed an expression that knew you would say that, and his gaze stayed on Luffy's swollen chest, "Although as an older brother, I have thought about what it would be like to have a younger sister after my younger brother, But Luffy, don't demonstrate it yourself."

The captain Sang who was told of the pain wrinkled his face, his mouth mumbled that one and two were like this, and the aura of resentment lingered lingering.

"By the way, Ace, I have something important to tell you. It's about Sabo..."

"There is no Sabo." Qiang took a step ahead of Luffy, and Ace said, "There is no Sabo in that world, Luffy, do you know what that means?"

"Of course. Because Sabo is still alive."

"That's right, Sabo is still alive... Huh!" Ace, who hadn't realized what Luffy said at first, reflexively followed the words, and was shocked after the words came out, "How do you know?!"

"Because I have already met. In the bullfighting arena."

"That's it...we've met."

Ace was relieved and sighed at the same time, and Luffy was also aroused, with tears in the corners of his eyes but a smiling face.

"Ace just said he was looking at me over there, but he didn't know that Sabo and I had met. That's weird."

The cowhide was punctured, and Ace explained with some embarrassment: "Then, that's because my brother is also very busy over there. You can't watch this side all the time."

"Busy?"

"Well, busy with adventures."

Lu Fei's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and all the sadness and loss were instantly replaced by sparkling curiosity and excitement, while Ace quietly watched this precious brother who dared to go up the mountain of swords and down to the sea of ​​​​fire and prison for him.

It would be a lie to say that he didn't regret being irritated by the red dog's provocation, but if he did it again, he would still choose to stay and fight, for the dignity of the old man and the glory of the Whitebeard Pirates.Ace felt that the most inappropriate but also the happiest thing he did in this short life was to die in his brother's arms.The two scarred people leaned on each other, whispering their last words in soft whispers.The girlish feelings in the tragic atmosphere make Huoquan blush just thinking about it now.

"Luffy."

"Ok?"

Looking at Ace's suddenly serious face for some unknown reason, the scorching gaze could scald the skin on Luffy's face.

"Ace?"

The handsome man with freckles lowered his head, and gradually approached the young and cute girl (?), until the other's face was enlarged in sight and the whole picture could not be seen clearly.

Luffy felt a slight chill on his mouth, and he still thought that ghosts also have texture.

In the eyes of others, Ace is kissing Luffy lightly, but in fact, the two of them are just kissing each other, and they can't make any further progress.

They were clearly so close, but they couldn't feel the breath of the other party.Ace's body temperature has always been higher than that of ordinary people, but now Luffy only feels cold.

Continuous stinging pain tormented the hearts of the two people. Sadness surrounded them like a drowning sea, and they struggled nowhere to be relieved.The pain came suddenly, but the aftertaste was long.

Luffy doesn't understand too complicated feelings, he only knows that he can't shed tears of sadness.

And Ace understands that opening the gully between himself and Luffy will separate heaven and man forever.

"This is my brother's protection."

"..."

"Go back, your companion is looking for you."

Luffy walked away step by step and turned his head three times, while Ace still stood there without moving.

"Luffy is my proud younger brother. Although he is an idiot, he is exceptionally good. He has the charm to attract others. Because of this, my brother always has a headache. So can you please stay away from him?"

Sand slowly gathered in the empty place, gradually forming a tall man in a fur collar coat.

"A dead person has no right to speak."

Crockdale sneered contemptuously, enjoying the sight of Ace's disappearing figure.

"Sorry, after I died, I discovered that being a ghost can do a lot more than I imagined."

Espy shot back with a half-smile, his sharp eyes fixed on the scar-headed man.

"Then you can stop it. Hahahaha——"

The laughter became elusive and ethereal as Crockdale deserted.

When the breeze in the forest blows and the mist gathers again, there is no one there.
