To the end of the sea [One Piece]

"Eh eh eh eh eh?!!" Ace was pulled into the room by Eina with a blushing face, avoiding the gossipy eyes of people in the restaurant, and then heard the girl say with a bitter look on her face that she had lost her memory. Give him an explanation he never expected.

"Why did you lose your memory?" Ace asked her stupidly, "Did you get hit or did you gain someone's fruit power?"

It's true that what you said makes me want to hit you.

Eina pulled him to sit down: "I don't know the reason for the amnesia. Anyway, as soon as I woke up, I saw your photo. I can remember that I knew you, but I can't remember everything that happened. "

"How come..." The young man lowered his head a little disappointed, "Then have you forgotten about us in the Spade Pirates?"

Eina looked at him apologetically and answered his question.

"It's not just about you. I only remember my name and forgot everything else." She comforted him, "So... so I confessed..."

"That's not important." Ace raised his head and looked at her with burning eyes, "Confession or something, if Ena forgets, I can tell you as many times as I want. But why did Eina become a pirate? At that time, I obviously wanted you to take risks with me, but you really hated being a pirate, so I didn’t force you.”

Ace felt a little sour in his heart that he couldn't understand: "As a result, I missed you who lost your memory... and now you are a pirate on someone else's ship."

Eina couldn't laugh or cry. She remembered what she heard on Drum Island before: "Um...Ace, do you know...a pirate named Luffy?"

"Eh? Luffy!" Ace said, "Ena, how do you know Luffy?"

Eina showed a smile that was hesitant to speak: "So... my current captain... is Luffy."

She watched helplessly as Ace changed from surprise to surprise, then to black lines all over his face, and finally squatted directly in the corner with a dark cloud above his head.

"Um...are you okay..." Ena stretched out her hand and asked carefully.

"It's nothing... I just suddenly felt tired." Ace sighed.

Is there anything more tiring than hearing that a girl who refused to board her own ship went to work as a pirate on the ship of her brother whom she had not seen for many years?

He stood up seriously and sat back in front of Eina: "So, you met Luffy after losing your memory, and then you were invited on the ship by him?"

"Yes, but why do you know Luffy, Ace?"

"He." Ace said softly with a nostalgic smile in his eyes, "He is my brother."

------------

"Brother?!" Eina was extremely surprised, "Is he a biological brother?"

"No." Ace was about to explain to her, but then he showed a helpless expression: "Hey... Speaking of which, I told you before... I have a very important sworn brother who I have been sworn to since I was a child, but..."

There was an imperceptible loss in his voice: "But Ena, you have forgotten. I just didn't tell you his name at that time, but you did know about it."

Seeing him like this, Ena felt indescribably depressed.

The more people she met from her past, the more cruel she felt towards them.

It was obvious that she had such an important past with them, but she couldn't remember anything at all. When they face themselves like this, will they feel sad that they have been abandoned?

The thick-lined man who looked similar to Luffy was very keenly aware of Eina's depression.

Ace stretched out a hand to cover Ena's head and showed her a lively smile: "Why are you showing that expression, Ena! I just feel that such precious memories belong to the two of us. Yes, but now I am the only one who knows about it, and Ena doesn’t know that this is very unfair to Ena!”

He didn't seem to think this matter was any trouble for him at all: "So don't think it's anything, Ena. I'll tell you again slowly. In this case, wouldn't it be a memory shared by both of us? "

This kind of thing... is too foul.

The silver-haired girl looked at the handsome black-haired young man in front of her, and seemed to understand why she became friends with this man before.

If it weren't for the fact that she wanted to be in the navy for some reason at that time, they would have been together naturally.

"Thank you...Ace." She smiled at him.

Ace looked at her smiling face and the tips of his ears turned red: "Why are you saying thank you to me...it's weird."

"Have I never said thank you to you before?" Ena was curious, "Then how did we get along?"

Ace snorted and came out with a bit of arrogance that would not be shown in front of anyone: "Ena is very fierce. When we first met, you had a fight with me."

"Fight!" Eina's eyes widened, "Then what? Who won?"

Ace also recalled the scene at that time and couldn't help laughing: "It was a tie, and we became friends after that. You stayed in my Spade Pirates for a long time."

"Did Ace fall in love with me then?" Eina asked him with a smile.

"What do you say you like...you idiot!" The young man who had said such words of confession at the bar with great energy just now became shy, "Don't Eina like me too?"

The silver-haired girl also blushed: "Who said that? Didn't I reject you?"

"Hey." The man smiled evilly, leaned close to Ena and whispered, "Then why did Ena secretly kiss me while I was sleeping?"

She was so angry!

Her body responded first to such a situation - punching Ace hard on the head.

"It hurts, it hurts..." Ace yelled, covering his head, and then showed a relieved smile: "This way, you finally have a feeling that is familiar to me."

Ena looked at her hands blankly.

People with amnesia often don’t know how to react because they don’t know what they have experienced. But in front of this man, she seemed to have finally found her own emotions.

Because she knew subconsciously that no matter how much fight she had with him, she would be tolerated.

--------------

"Speaking of Ena, if you are here, is Luffy here too?" Ace asked her as he remembered something.

Eina shook her head and told him her experience after coming to the Upside Down Mountain.

"Will your fruit power go out of control?" Unexpectedly, Ace said in surprise, "You have never appeared before."

"Wait a minute." Eina opened her eyes and grabbed his wrist, "You mean, you know about my fruit ability?"

"Well...of course." Ace said, "But you rarely tell others about your abilities. Even dad, you didn't tell them at that time."

"Dad?" Eina looked at him doubtfully.

"Ah, I forgot to tell you." Ace turned slightly to show her the tattoo on his back, "I later joined the Whitebeard Pirates with the Spade Pirates, and you were there when I joined. But you left soon after that. We haven’t seen each other since then.”

She remembered. Fire Fist Ace is indeed the captain of Whitebeard's second division, and it is common sense for a pirate hunter for Whitebeard to ask his crew members to call him daddy.

"So...is it an ability related to space?" she asked him.

"That's right, you told me that your fruit is called the Kong Kong Fruit, and you only showed me one specific way to use it." Ace took her hand, wearing the simple ring on his slender white fingers.

"Space storage." He gently rubbed her ring, and the hot skin inadvertently crossed her hand.

She was a little greedy for his touch.

Eina put away her distracted thoughts and took off the ring: "I thought it was a bit strange before...but how to use it? I don't know how to use my fruit ability."

Ace brought a lamp: "It really makes me sad. I gave this ring to you."

Eina looked at him a little guilty: "Sorry..."

Ace smiled and rubbed her long hair: "Idiot, I told you not to be so polite to me. Although I gave it to you, you picked it up yourself in the store. You said...the words engraved on the inside of the ring It’s a text you like very much.”

Eina took the lamp he handed over, stood in front of the ring and observed it carefully, turning it slowly.

A line of small characters was pieced together, a string of strange language.

Chefioriscacomeilfioredell’immortalità.

"Isn't it weird?" Ace asked her, "I don't know what the characters are, but if you say you like it, I will buy it for you."

This sentence... has a magic that transcends time, space and dimensions. Ace didn't know the language, but Ena did.

She softly read the meaning of the words on the ring.

“May you bloom like the flower of eternity.”

The moment these words were spoken, Ena felt as if some power was awakened in her body. She put her finger on the ring and exerted slight pressure. The ring glowed and spread out a small vortex towards her.

She held her breath and gently stretched out her other hand. The moment she touched the whirlpool, she saw everything in the ring.

It was a rich space, with absolutely enough food and fresh water, some clothes, and most importantly, a large sum of money.

This is literally her emergency escape kit!

Ena, Ena doesn't feel happy at all at this time. She closed the ring space with a sad and regretful expression on her face.

"What's wrong?" Ace asked her quickly.

"I almost died in the desert..." Ena almost beat her chest, "In the end, I had a whole space of survival supplies on my finger!"

Ace laughed out loud at her lively expression: "This is the first time I've seen Ena show an expression of 'I'm an idiot'..."

Sure enough, he was beaten again.

"You are the idiot." Eina took back her hand and said angrily, "Both Luffy and Luffy are idiots. They are indeed brothers."

"Luffy, how is he now?" Ace heard Luffy ask excitedly, "He has entered the Grand Line. He is indeed my brother!"

"Ah." Eina also laughed when she mentioned Luffy: "There is a group of great companions. Everyone came together with their dreams to come to the Grand Line. That guy keeps shouting that he wants to be the Pirate King every day."

"Of course." Ace smiled, "Luffy is that kind of person, but he always likes to get into trouble. I really don't know if there is anyone to clean up his mess."

"Pfft." Eina said with a smile, "Yes, isn't it just our group of companions? Every day we worry about whether the stupid captain stole the rations or whether he got into a fight with others."

A soft smile appeared in Ace's eyes: "That's really... great."

"Speaking of which, they should come to Alabasta in two days." Eina said, "We can meet then."

"Okay." Ace stood up, "Then you can stay with me for the next two days. We will wait for Luffy and the others together."

Eina nodded. When Ace reached the door of the room, he stopped and turned around as if he wanted to say something to Eina. He looked at the silver-haired girl and tilted her head, her beautiful dark green eyes filled with joy at having recovered some of her memories and subconscious trust in him.

He opened his mouth, and thousands of words finally came together into one sentence.

"It's so nice to see you again, Ena."

A little blush appeared on Eina's face, and a smile appeared on her delicate face: "Me too, Ace."

So the tall young man whispered to her with infinite tenderness in his eyes: "Good night."
