[Pirate] Ann

"Cheers to Ann being offered a reward!"

"cheers!"

"Oh--"

A group of people sat on the ground in the cave, with drinks and food everywhere, and the atmosphere formed a strong contrast with the ice and snow outside.

At the same time, on the sea not far away, a pirate ship was steadily approaching.

"There's a boat over there!"

"It's the redhead's boat."

"Ah—Ace! There's still time to turn around!"

"Haha, I'm finally seeing you!" The boy with his hands on his hips, who was naked from the upper body, stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the pure white not far away.After saying this, he was silent for a while, and suddenly wrapped his arms around himself, shaking twice, "It's so cold!"

"The reaction is too slow!" A group of people behind them complained in unison.

"Hahahahaha..." The person who had been sitting next to him laughed out loud.

They landed quickly, and the boy who had already put on a cotton padded jacket walked to the front, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "Let's go!"

"Ann, you are finally going to see your brother, congratulations!" Shaluke shook his glass in front of him, and smiled at An.

"Yeah!" An also picked up the wine glass beside him, touched his lightly, and drank it down with his head raised.

"It's okay to drink that much." Xia Luke watched her fill another glass, a little worried.

"No problem." Ann smiled, and then looked out, "I don't know when Ace will arrive, ah, shouldn't I sit on the ground? My clothes will be dirty!" She said in a panic Zhang Di stood up and patted his clothes, then squatted down in front of Xia Luke, and asked with a serious face, "Is there anything on my face? Is my hair messed up?"

Xia Luke looked at her helplessly. This is not to meet her brother, but like to meet her lover.

"What should I do? What should I say after I see Ace? Can I hug him? I...I..." Obviously before the person arrived, An'an had already started to panic.

"Ann." Landa leaned over, "What are your plans after meeting Ace?"

He finally couldn't help asking, he had done so much, if it was of no use at all, then he would be depressed for the rest of his life.

"Uh? What's the plan?" An was taken aback, and asked back, obviously not understanding what Landa meant.

"I mean, after meeting Ace, did you decide to leave with Ace, or stay with us?" Landa asked bluntly without beating around the bush.

"Do you still need to ask, of course..."

The next sound was covered by a burst of noise at the entrance of the cave. Everyone focused their attention and saw a group of people walking in.

"Is it finally here?" Shanks put down the wine bowl and picked up the sword beside him.

"I'm Portgas D. Ace, red-haired Shanks. I finally met you. I've always wanted to greet you." The leading boy stepped forward and said with a smile.

Although Shanks had a peaceful face, there was an unapproachable aura for no reason, "Would you like to come and greet me?"

The atmosphere of an imminent battle spread out in the small space, and Ace immediately shook his hand hurriedly and explained, "No...that's not what it means!" He paused, "My brother always mentioned you, saying You were his savior, so I always wanted to thank you in person."

"Oh! Are you Luffy's older brother?" The depressed atmosphere just now was swept away, and at this time Shanks looked excited, and said, "Hey - so he has an older brother! Isn't that right? Thank you for making the special trip. Come and have a chat with me!"

"Brothers, it's time for a party!"

"Oh--"

So the cave was full of excitement again, and the two pirate groups quickly became a mess.

"By the way, Ace, someone wants to see you." Shanks had picked up his wine bowl again, and said to Ace who was sitting next to him.

"See me?" Ace looked up, feeling very puzzled, then he followed Shanks' line of sight, and a girl with long blonde curly hair slowly walked towards him.

Ace looked at the strange girl, and the surrounding subtly fell silent.He tried his best to search for the memory of this girl in his mind, but found nothing.

So he stood up, faced the girl, and stretched out his hand to her with a smile, "Hello... huh?"

His voice stopped abruptly, because the girl rushed over and threw herself into his arms fiercely.So Ace's originally inflexible brain froze completely at this moment, and he froze in place, not knowing where to put his hands, until the girl cried out his name.

"Ace—"

Ann imagined several ways she would react when she met Ace, but what happened in reality was something she never imagined.

The excitement of seeing her loved ones for the first time was mixed with an unexplained sense of grievance. For a while, An couldn't control her behavior at all, and then burst into tears, except for crying, only "Ace" after another.

She was so weak from crying, and Ace, who didn't know why, was no longer stiff at this time, and stretched out his hand to gently pat Ann's back to comfort her.Ann's mood gradually calmed down, sobbing, still holding Ace tightly and refusing to let go.

"Ann, Ace won't understand if you're like this, do you want to go inside and have a chat with the two of you alone?" Shanks said, breaking the delicate atmosphere at this time.

"No need." Ann shook her head, and after a while, she let go of Ace, raised her head to face Ace and said with a smile, "It's our first meeting, my name is Portgas D. Ann, and it's yours." Biological sister."

"...Huh?" Ace didn't react for a while, he looked at the person in front of him, and he hesitated for a long time before saying, "But, but... I've never heard of it from grandpa."

"Because I was about to die when I was born." Ann smiled, her tone flat as if she was just telling a story that hadn't happened before, "So grandpa and grandma didn't tell Grandpa Garp that there was another me at that time, you naturally I don't know, but I know you. I have always, always, always wanted to see you, and now I finally see you!" She said, her eyes filled with mist again.

Ace looked at the girl with tears on her face, who claimed to be his sister, and felt her mind go blank.

"After I saw your reward list, I immediately decided to go to sea to find you. Ah, we don't look alike. Grandma said that I look more like my mother."

Mother……?

It was the first time Ace heard this term and it had something to do with him. He stared at the other person, and suddenly saw a double image smiling at him.He was taken aback, and when he looked over again, it was still the same tear-stained face smiling brightly.

"Ann..." Ace called out her name softly.

"Ace!" She smiled brighter, then stepped forward and hugged him, muttering, "So this is what it's like to hug your family."

This time Ace finally reached out and hugged Ann back. He bent down slightly and buried his face in the long golden hair.

His mood at this time can't be expressed in words at all, and childhood memories flooded up uncontrollably, although now he will no longer reject people thousands of miles away like he was when he was a child, but the shadow in his heart is absolutely indelible to go.

Did that happen to her when she was a child?

Ace thought, unconsciously tightening his arms again.

The two embraced affectionately until someone next to them couldn't help complaining, "I said, even family members hugged for too long?" They separated, and Ace bowed to Shanks again, "Not only is my brother's savior, but he also promised to take An to find me at sea. I don't know how to thank you."

"You're welcome, come on, sit down." Shanks waved at the two.

"Speaking of which, does Shanks know Luffy too?" An sat next to Ace and sat on the side of Shanks, "I went to Windmill Village to inquire about Ace, and I happened to meet Luffy."

"Really! How is he now?" Shanks and Ace focused their eyes at the same time, obviously paying attention to Luffy.

"It's great." An smiled, "If I didn't want to meet Ace sooner, I would definitely live there for a few days. This is the first time I have met such an interesting person."

"Hahahaha, that guy is like that!" Ace also smiled and said.

"Is he still talking about becoming the One Piece all day?" Shanks also smiled and asked Ace.

"Yeah, I can't leave that straw hat." Ace replied, "But, although I'm sorry for Luffy, I'm the one who will become the One Piece!"

"Oh?" Shanks stared at Ace with interest.

An held the wine glass to his mouth with both hands, pretending to drink, but his eyes looked left and right flexibly.

At this moment, she sighed from the bottom of her heart, adventure is indeed a man's romance.

"So what do you want to do?" Shanks asked.

"The first thing to do is to defeat Whitebeard and let everyone witness my strength."

White beard!

An Xiaoxiao was surprised, that man is the strongest man in the sea right now.

She immediately felt that Ace was a little too hasty, but she opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to tell him.

"Really, then let me tell you where he is."

Ann was surprised again, turned to look at Shanks, why?

Shanks saw Ann's questioning eyes, smiled, and said to her, "Don't worry."

The banquet lasted for a long time, until at last everyone was exhausted, and fell asleep on the ground as before, no matter where they were.

But An is definitely a special existence among them. She couldn't survive that long, so she fell asleep when everyone was still making noise.When he woke up, he found himself covered with a cloak.She looked to the left, where Shanks was sitting asleep leaning against the rock wall, cape well put on.

Whose is this?

Sleeping drowsily, Ann rubbed her eyes and looked to the right, and saw Ace who was also sleeping against the rock wall. She froze for a moment, and then recalled that she had met him.

Ann couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth, and gently leaned over to cover the two of them with the cloak, then gently rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes.
