[One Piece] and the world

When Yamato said that he had important things to do and couldn't come tomorrow, An planned to leave. She had been in Wano Country for a week. Although Sachi and the others did not pursue her during this period, she could not stay here forever. of.

An took out a video phone and set it up. After pressing the button for scheduled recording, she stood up and sat where they were talking. The video phone suddenly froze for a moment and then returned to normal.

Ever since Yamato knew that the song she heard for the first time still had the second half, she had been begging An to sing the second half to her, but she never agreed. It was just a whim that day, and the cherry blossoms flying all over the sky came again. It happened to fascinate her, so she couldn't help but hum the song. If she really asked her to sing specially, she wouldn't be able to do it!

How could she do such a shameful thing as singing in front of outsiders? She is not a singer!

However, since we can no longer see each other...then it doesn't matter if we sing it again.

"Hey, Yamato, you must never tell anyone my name in the future."

"why?"

"Because I have a very, very powerful enemy, so you must not say my name to others, otherwise, you will die! But you don't have to worry about me, that guy can't hurt me, so he will treat me If the people around you take action, as long as you don’t say my name, nothing will happen to you or me.”

"But... well, I'll just leave it alone."

Although she was sorry for deceiving Yamato on this matter, but because she knew Ace, in order to avoid some things, it was better to let the name "Ann" disappear. She never appeared in the country of Wano and had a great time chatting with Yamato. He is just a passing person without a name who may be forgotten by her in more than ten years.

"............

The blooming cherry rots to the bone

The soul is trapped in the river of forgetfulness and tastes the evil consequences alone

Looking forward to crossing the narrow gap between life and death of apology

Only my dying wish

......"

After singing the second half, An did not immediately turn off the recording phone bug. She set the recording time for half an hour, and the recording would automatically stop after half an hour.

So she just sat there, with the warm wind blowing countless cherry blossom petals at noon, and the dappled sunlight shining on her body, bringing noisy memories to the surface vaguely and unreally. Under the sky full of cherry blossoms, the girl was blown up by the wind and sat swaying in the large broken shadows. In the pink scene, she was worried about gains and losses, unable to distinguish between dreams and reality. Her eyes were eroded in the past, and she was willing to fall into the stolen things. A touch of warmth.

Until the sky turned into a red-orange sunset, the swaying branches were lost in the wind's farewell. In the shadows, the dark figure seemed to finally wake up from a long dream. The girl suddenly stretched out her hand, and the orange sunset changed into In the dark blue night, she seemed to have caught something, or perhaps not.

An moved her numb legs. She sat here for six full hours. Just treat it as an apology, thinking like this, she stood up, took out the mask from her sleeves, put it on, and slowly walked to the video phone bug.

"farewell……"

A very soft sound fell, not even the wind caught it.

She placed the phone bug on a stone, looked at it quietly for a while, and then called out Abu. Abu rubbed her face affectionately, then flew down to the ground and turned into a blanket. An sat on it and touched Abu. Abu understood and flew overseas without looking back.

They will never meet again. For each other, this encounter can only form a small corner in their memory. In the end, they will be buried or cut out as redundant memories and thrown away, never to be remembered again.

She might be sad, but there was no turning back.

In the third month after leaving Wano, An inevitably collided with the Whitebeard Pirates again, or in other words, with Ace, who had already joined the Whitebeard Pirates.

“You were the one who injured Teach, right—!”

As soon as Ace saw her, he shouted and rushed over with his fire fist raised. At that time, An was still standing on the street wondering whether the guy who just heard someone eating the Overlord meal was Ace, and was caught off guard. He flew out with a fire punch and smashed several walls before stopping.

As soon as she saw him, An couldn't help but feel a toothache. The person she least wanted to meet now was undoubtedly Ace, especially since she couldn't stop Ace from joining the Whitebeard Pirates, and once he joined, Then he and she would inevitably become enemies, even though she didn't want to. But Ace doesn't care so much. He doesn't know that Teach has done such extreme things to him. Now he only knows that Teach is his partner, so when he meets the guy who almost killed Teach in the past, he immediately doesn't care. He took action hesitantly.

This is precisely the most painful thing for An. She is the only one who remembers the tragedy, and she can do nothing if she does it again. She can only watch everyone make the same mistake again. So many people have died because of Teach. However, she was unable to save them. She couldn't save Sachi, and she couldn't save Father Whitebeard. She could only save them once.

She could only save Ace.

She had no choice, no choice...

"fire punch---!"

Violent attacks continued to fall on An's body, and she finally couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood. The burning pain on her arm made her clearly know that she had been burned by Ace's flames.

She couldn't hold back, she had to use all her strength, otherwise...she would be killed by Ace...she would die.

An placed Suzune in front of him, and swung his weapon-colored fist toward Ace's abdomen, knocking him to the ground not far away.

"This is decent. You were timid like a woman before. Use all your strength to fight with me. But I will never show mercy to the guy who hurt Tiqi!" Ai Si got up from the ground, a large amount of flames burst out of his body, and then he quickly rushed over with his fists raised.

"fire punch----"

"clang----!"

Huge noises continued on the street, and the people around him had already run away in panic, but Ace still wanted to lead her to a no-man's land, intentionally or unintentionally. An saw through his intentions and cooperated to move the battlefield. .

"Okay, I can finally exert my full strength." As soon as he moved to a place where no one was around, Ace immediately pressed his hat and smiled triumphantly. Under the mask, An frowned. Ace thought she didn't know his purpose. Did he think he hid it well? The expression on his face has long been obvious.

What a fool who doesn't know how to hide his thoughts...

"Crossfire!"

"Shen Huo Shiranui!"

"Firefly Fire Bodhidharma!"

"Mirror Fire Flame!"

After enduring a series of attacks from Ace, An became angry. She held up the bell and launched attacks continuously. At the same time, she resisted Ace's attacks. She couldn't speak in front of Ace, so she wouldn't report her moves. Name, shout out the name of the move to remind the opponent when amplifying the move, but this move she has always disliked and couldn't understand, is it just because of being cool? !

She even thought in amusement, very good, as far as she knew, except for the Great Flame Ring and Flame Emperor, she had experienced every one of Ace's moves in this battle. This was before The treatment she had never experienced before made her not sure whether to be happy or sad.

An looked at the tattoo on Ace's back with an unclear look in her eyes. What was Ace's dream? Become the strongest person in the world? But it seems that Ace is destined to be only a sharp sword in the king's hand.

After fighting for a full four hours, An finally found a chance and immediately asked Abu to take her away from this fruitless battle quickly.

"Damn bastard - our fight is not over yet!! You actually ran away, what kind of man are you!!"

Listening to Ace's yelling from behind, An curled her lips and thought to herself that she was not a man in the first place, and didn't Ace know that she was a girl? He always subconsciously regards her as a man. Really, although she wears men's clothes, any normal person can tell that she is a woman from such obvious features!

...Well, it seems that Ace and Luffy are both abnormal.

She forgave him.
