To the end of the sea [One Piece]

"Good morning." Eina got up and went to look for Ace after washing up, and found that he had already finished breakfast and was waiting for her.

"You're so early...Ace." Eina sat down and ordered noodles with the waiter, then turned to ask Ace, "Where are we now?"

"The port city of Alabasta, Narohara." Estor said with his cheeks.

The noodles were served quickly, and Ena continued to ask for the information she needed while eating.

"I saw in the newspaper that you were chasing/killing someone. Did something happen?"

The young man's originally smiling expression suddenly turned cold, and his tone dropped: "Ah... I'm chasing/killing a traitor." He looked to the side with anger: "He was originally a crew member of my team, but he killed us My companions on the ship...I can't allow this to happen."

Ena thought of her unknown dream. I originally wanted to tell him things as soon as they met, but when I actually sat in front of him, I couldn't speak.

She didn't know who that man was, and it was just a dream. There was no way to verify whether it was real.

So she lowered her head again and changed the topic: "By the way, I didn't ask you yesterday...do you know why I hate pirates?"

Ace opened his mouth but stopped talking.

Eina raised her eyelids and glanced at him: "I was even willing to tell you about the fruit's abilities before, and I should have mentioned that I hate pirates, right?"

The young man scratched his head, feeling uncertain and irritated: "I know, I know...but Ena, are you really sure you want to listen?"

Eina stopped what she was doing and looked at him seriously.

"I've always had a feeling from the beginning...I'm afraid I have a lot of rich experiences in my past." She smiled, "I lived a very heartless life after discarding them, but I'm not Myself. It’s not a good feeling… You know what I’m saying, Ace?”

Ace lowered his gaze: "I understand. But Ena, maybe there are some things that you would be happier if you forgot them."

"But I can't find my own goal." Eina smiled. "You know Ace... before entering the Grand Line, everyone on the spaceship told a dream of their own, but my wish can only be to 'find my lost memory'. Even though my memory is very heavy , but that’s also part of me.”

"Besides." Eina was a little embarrassed, but she still said it: "Ace, the fact that you like me means that I should at least be a very strong person, right? I won't be knocked down by something that has passed. "

Ace raised his lips helplessly.

"I see... I really can't do anything to you. I was the one who felt sorry for you when you told me, but now you actually want me to tell you the same thing again."

"Ena." Ace sat up straight and said to her seriously, "About what you told me about you..."

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

After returning to the room, Ena lay straight on the bed and did not move for a long time.

The reason she hates pirates is because...her parents both died at the hands of pirates. When she was only five years old.

What happened to her after she lost her parents? Ace said that she didn't tell him clearly. He only knew that she was adopted. When she grew up, she ran away from her adoptive father and came to the sea to make a living alone.

She and Ace met when she was eighteen. The two had a dispute as soon as they met, but after a fight they turned into friendship and became close friends.

Ena said at that time that if she hadn't met someone before meeting him, she might not have been friends with Ace, who was a pirate.

"That man... was the first person who let me know that pirates can be such good people. After getting to know him, I gradually understood that a real pirate should be as free as him."

Ace asked Ena the name of that person, but Ena just stretched out a finger and said slyly: "If we meet again at sea one day, I will definitely introduce you to each other."

Then, they fell in love with each other tacitly.

But after Ace joined the Whitebeard Pirates, Ena still refused his courageous confession.

"Although I know that I cannot generalize the pirates who killed my parents... I have also met so many pirate friends, but I still want to be a navy." Ena said with a smile.

"So Ace, the next time we meet, we might have to have a serious fight."

Although Ace was disappointed, he still supported her choice.

"I won't lose to you next time we meet, Eina."

"You are the one, so don't let me defeat you."

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

This is...part of her lost memory.

How does it feel when someone else describes your life?

In fact, there is no real feeling. Ena's heart just tightened when she heard that both of her parents were dead. For her, other things were just piecing together some jigsaw puzzles from the past.

Sure enough... She raised a hand to her eyes and sighed softly.

She felt that the haze in her heart had dissipated a lot, and it was better to know more things than to know nothing at all. But as expected, what is more important is the life that I will experience personally in the future.

The memory puzzle that Ace brought to her made her less confused, but there were still many mysteries that remained unsolved.

"Ena?" Ace was knocking on her door, "Are you okay?"

She turned over and climbed up to open the door for him: "It's nothing, I just suddenly figured out something." She smiled and said: "I was thinking, I just need to get to know the people I have forgotten once again; even if it is the things I have experienced before, I They can all be regarded as fresh adventures. As for those unsolved mysteries, just take your time to find the answers."

Looking at her like this, Ace raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Sure enough, Ena is like this..."

He suddenly stopped talking.

Eina blinked: "Huh?"

Then, with great surprise, she was hugged by the man in front of her. Because of his ability to burn fruits, his body temperature is always higher than others, so his upper body is basically naked. At this moment, she was trapped in his hot embrace, her face pressed against his strong chest, and her whole body began to feel hot as she rubbed against the ground.

"Hey——! Ace, what are you doing?" She struggled in embarrassment, but Ace let go of her slightly, held her shoulders and said to her: "Since Ena no longer plans to be a navy, you There’s no reason to reject me anymore, right?”

"Theoretically...that's the theory..." she said with a blush on her face. "But I...I, I, I am still a little unfamiliar with you..."

The handsome and gentle boy gave her a confident smirk: "It doesn't matter, you just need to get to know the person you forgot once again; you just need to like the person you forgot you like again, isn't it?"

She stared blankly into his eyes, where the emotion was as raw as fire.

The young boy never concealed his love for her, and only her appearance was reflected in his pupils.

He really liked her so much.

Although I have lost my memory... my heart will still remember my feelings for a person for my head. Ena knew from the first moment she saw him in the desert that the relationship between her and Ace would not stop at friendship.

At this moment, her wildly beating heartbeat was clearly conveying a message.

No matter how many times you meet some people, you will definitely fall in love with them at first sight.

"I need to contact Luffy and the others right away." Eina said to Ace, "Do you have a phone bug?"

Ace shook his head.

So Eina went out and borrowed a phone bug, then remembered that she couldn't seem to remember Nami's number. She had to look at the small piece of paper every time to dial the number completely. Now she had lost her luggage and couldn't help but feel annoyed that she didn't remember her phone number well.

But...wait, she can remember her phone number! After Ena dialed out, the other party connected quickly.

"Hello?" The person who answered the phone was Kureha, and Eina shouted happily: "Doctor Kureha!"

"It's you little brat." Kuleha's voice was filled with slight joy, "It seems you're fine."

"Sorry for making you worry..." Eina said, "I am in Alabasta now. Have my companions arrived at Drum Island?"

"If you are talking about a boy with a straw hat, an orange-haired girl and a blond-haired man, they are here right now." Kuleha said, "Tsk, they suffered a lot when they came. It was an injury, but I have already healed it.”

Eina's worried heart relaxed a little: "This... will cause you trouble. Can you ask them to answer the phone?"

"I don't know where they went." Kuleha said, "Your captain seems to be capable of causing trouble. Drum Island has been in chaos recently. They must have gone to mind their own business."

Eina couldn't ask for details on the phone, so she had to say: "Then when they come back, please tell them that I am waiting for them in Alabasta. Is that okay?"

"I understand." A voice of swallowing wine came from the other end: "I will also let them take your luggage away for you... By the way, kid, your medical expenses..."

"I know, I know!" Eina didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You can ask the orange-haired girl for it. I have a sum of money deposited with her. Just ask her to take it from there!"

"Humph, that's pretty much it." Kureha laughed and said, "That's it, kid."

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

Eina finally breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone. She turned to Ace, who had been standing by waiting for her for some time: "Are you free?"

Ace held the orange hat and straightened the brim: "What do you want to do?"

Eina gave him a brisk smile: "Let's go and take a look around here...I want to buy some clothes suitable for wearing in Alabasta."

He deliberately made an obscene salute, touched the brim of his hat and stretched out his hand to her, and said with a ruffian smile: "I am most pleased, my lady."
