[One Piece] and the world

"You want to see Luffy?

"Yes." An nodded, his soft eyes falling on the tombstone again, "Luffy...should not know about this yet, right?"

"..." Ace did not answer. He suddenly remembered the day when Luffy discovered that the dead Suzune was actually his sister. His sad look...

"Huh? What is that?" The girl in front of the tombstone suddenly looked in one direction. Ace and Marco heard this and looked, only to see a small black spot on the horizon slowly approaching, getting closer and closer. It was a fiery red bird with a light blue flower in its beak. When it flew closer, it also saw the people standing on the hillside clearly and saw the appearance of one of them. At that moment, he even forgot to flap his wings, and fell from the sky in an instant.

"Abu...?" An looked at the little bird that had been accompanying her in An's memory in this world. After falling a few meters, the little bird finally remembered to fly. It changed its slow speed and flew quickly. He flew towards her, then stopped on the tombstone, tilted his head to look at her, and let out a few sobs. An put her hand in front of it, and the little bird put the flower in her hand, then flew to her shoulder and rubbed her cheek. The whole bird was so happy that flowers appeared, "Ah bu ah bu." ~~~~"

"This bird is..."

Apparently, Ace and Marco recognized the bird as well.

An stretched out her fingers and touched Abu's head, sighing secretly. For Abu, "An" felt guilty. She only hoped that when Abu came back, she would leave without waiting for him. However, it seemed that Abu not only found her tomb, but also found her tomb. He has been guarding her.

After thinking about it, An said softly: "I'm sorry, Abu, for keeping you waiting for so long." "Ah, Bu~~~~"

Ace and Marco looked at each other without speaking. An looked at Ace again, "Take me to meet Luffy. Abu can take us there." "Ah Bu~~!"

The other party repeatedly requested, and Ace had no reason to refuse, but he still told what happened that day. After listening, An was silent for a long time before he clicked on Abu. Abu flew to the ground and transformed into a blanket. Ann said hello He asked Ace to sit on it, and Marco said that he had to stay, so the two of them flew in the direction of Luffy's life paper.

"...What do you want to say after meeting Luffy?"

An glanced at Ace. His facial features were exactly the same as in all her memories. Sometimes she would think that the person in front of her was her Ace. However, the strangeness and alienation in the other person's eyes would always wake her up in time. Him, "I don't know."

Ace was stunned by the other person's answer.

"I originally thought that as the "An" of this world, I would tell Luffy that I was actually resurrected, but I do not belong to this world and cannot stay here longer. When the time comes, if he learns about "Sister" again "If he disappears from this world, it will definitely be a painful injury again."

Ace watched the other person stretch out his hand and make a grabbing motion in the wind, with many tiny lights in his eyes.

"So, let's just explain it directly. And... although Luffy seems stupid and heartless, in fact, there are many things that cannot be hidden from him. His intuition is very scary."

Regarding the last sentence, Ace nodded deeply. He glanced at the paper of life that was still moving slowly, then observed the sea area they were currently in, and then looked at the permanent pointer on his wrist for a while. Then he said: "We're almost there!"

New World, Sonny.

"Hey Luffy, someone seems to be here."

"Who is who?"

"Let me see..." Usopp continued to adjust the telescope, and then finally saw the person clearly, "I see it! It's Ace!"

"Ace?!" After hearing this, Luffy immediately jumped onto the side of the ship excitedly and began to snatch the telescope from Usopp's hand, "Show me, show me!"

"Wait a minute, Luffy! Ace is flying! He is sitting on a blanket that can fly... Wait, it seems that Ace is not the only one! There is also a girl, but her face is covered by her hair. I can't see..." Before he could finish his words, the telescope was snatched from his hand, and he gritted his teeth in anger.

"It's really Ace! Oh, didn't we just meet not long ago? Why did he come to me again?"

"Maybe it's something important." Robin smiled, took the drink from Sanji's hand and thanked him softly. Sanji held the tray in his arm, then took out a cigarette and lit it, pretending to be serious, "I think Robin-chan is right!"

Ace soon arrived on the deck of the Sonny, and then the two of them jumped off the flying carpet, which turned into a red bird and flew over the head of the girl who came with Ace.

Everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates looked curiously at the girl whose face had never been shown.

"Ace, why are you here?" Luffy asked, looking at Ace with a smile. "Ah, there is someone who wants to meet you..." After Ace finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the girl next to him, and Luffy couldn't help but follow his gaze.

The girl lowered her head and straightened her skirt before tucking the hair that covered her face behind her ears. Until this moment, her face was completely exposed to everyone's view.

The air condenses instantly.

An walked towards Luffy, but stopped a few steps away from him. She looked at Luffy and felt a rare nervousness in her heart, but she didn't know why she was nervous. She gently opened her mouth and called out. "Luffy...?"

Everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates reacted immediately.

"You, you, you, aren't you Luffy's sister?!"

"...Sister Luffy's soul has come here..."

Usopp and Chopper looked pale and hugged each other, shivering. Nami shed a drop of cold sweat looking at them, "They are all alive no matter what, okay--!"

Sanji's eyes flashed with love: "It's that kawaii sister-chan who sings beautifully~~~~"

Brooke: "It seems that he has resurrected from the dead just like me. It really shocked me so much that my eyes almost popped out, ah, even though I don't have eyes, oh-oh-oh--"

Robin: "It's really amazing."

Franky: "It's super-interesting!"

Sauron: "Resurrected from the dead..."

Jinbei looked at Ace: "Brother Ace, what's going on?" Ace shook his head and said nothing, motioning for him to continue watching.

"...You, you are, An...?!!" Yamato looked at the person in front of her in disbelief. Compared to the An in her memory, the person in front of her was gentler and older. , her eyes were different from the An in her memory. This difference made Yamato frown, and the excitement in his heart also dissipated. Coupled with the fact that An died, it was she, Luffy, and Ai The fact that Si and all the Straw Hat Pirates confirmed together...

Maybe this person is not An, but just looks a lot like her? Yamato comforted himself in this way, and the burning heart gradually became calmer, along with the loss that was deliberately suppressed by his master.

Luffy stood there silently with his head lowered, making no sound for a long time.

An was a little at a loss. To be honest, she had never thought about how to face Luffy in this world, but she just wanted to see him, especially after learning that he had lost his sister... She looked at Luffy and suddenly noticed that his body was trembling slightly, and a tear struck the deck, leaving a dark trace.

This discovery made her heart hurt immediately, so she no longer hesitated, walked over and hugged Luffy tightly, and said in a brisk tone, "Why, just after so many years of not seeing each other, have you already forgotten your sister? "

The young man in his arms trembled suddenly, then slowly stretched out his hand, hugging her back gently but forcefully. He was very strong, as if he was using all his strength to hug someone who would easily leave him. As she left, he buried his face on her shoulder, his voice as light as a feather and as heavy as a mountain, "No... I have not forgotten my sister... But my sister left me behind..."

An was stunned for a moment. Luffy's warm breath spread between her collarbones. However, for a moment, she felt the despair coming from the young man in her arms. She lowered her eyes and patted his back gently. "Sister has not abandoned you, and she will never abandon you either before or in the future."

Luffy lifted up from her arms and looked directly into her eyes. His eyes were dark and dark, just like the rainy days with dark clouds that he had seen countless times. The light couldn't penetrate and the rain kept falling. "Really?" "?" He asked, but there was an emotion in his eyes that he already knew the answer to. This emotion made his eyes dim.

"It's true!" An held his face and told him firmly and word by word, "Monkey D. An will never abandon her brother Monkey D. Luffy, no matter how many years She has never seen her brother Luffy in the past or more than ten years, and she will always love her brother Luffy deeply and will never abandon her. Even death cannot change this feeling."

Luffy stared at her for a while, then showed his familiar bright smiling face again, his eyes renewed, "Wow! Then I believe you, sister!" After saying that, he turned around and yelled at the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates: "Young ones!! It's a party!!!"

Although there was a banquet, Luffy, as usual, did not gorge himself on the food and even the meat did not attract his attention. Instead, he sat quietly on the bow of the boat. Everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates knew how important his sister was to him, and they all understood something when they saw this, so no one disturbed the two of them, including Yamato, who was in the same complicated and excited mood.

At the bow of the ship, Luffy and An were sitting on the lion's head of the Sunny. Luffy looked at the girl in front of him with similar eyebrows to his own, and asked a little aggrievedly: "Why did my sister... keep rejecting my approach all those years? Later, he didn’t even want to see me..."

Regarding this question, An didn't know how to answer him. She didn't know whether she should let Luffy know those things. Could it be that she did it just for his own good? But this answer, let alone Luffy, would not even be liked by her, but she couldn't let him know those things.

Facing her silence, Luffy lowered his eyes in disappointment, but thoughtfully did not continue to ask any more questions, but changed the subject, "Does sister know? I defeated Kaido!"

"Ah...I know." An looked at him and suddenly noticed something. She pursed her lips and moved her fingers unconsciously. She opened her mouth to say something, but closed it because she didn't know how to say it. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and finally chose to speak out, "Luffy, you...have discovered it, right?"

Her body trembled next to her, but there was no change on Luffy's face. He still had the same smiling look, "What are you talking about, sister?"

"Luffy, no matter what, I am your sister, your biological sister bound by blood. Just as I can't hide it from you, you can't hide it from me either. You have discovered it, right? Not 'your sister'."

The smile on Luffy's face suddenly disappeared. He stared at her face aimlessly and murmured: "No, my heart tells me that you are my sister...but my intuition tells me that you are not my sister." ..." He lowered his head in confusion and confusion, his soft black hair sticking up in disorder, making him look like a homeless puppy at this moment, "I just don't know which one to believe..."

An sighed and stretched out his hand to ruffle his black hair. The young man from the Monchi family raised his head, his face innocent and aggrieved, "Luffy, do you believe that there may be another world, and in that world there are people who have the same experiences as yourself?" Not only do they have exactly the same personality, appearance, and even thoughts?"

"..." Luffy looked at her in shock.

"Yes, I am a person from another world. In that world, I had exactly the same growth process as An in this world, but this 'exactly the same' experience bifurcated at a certain node, and we Life will never be the same after that." An looked at the sea in the distance. It was almost evening. The setting sun reflected on the sea, and the orange waves reflected the tiny light. Even the sea breeze began to become gentle. However, The surrounding air was like a snowy night, "You also know that node, that is - the battle at the top!"

"I came from another world. Although I don't know how I came here, it is undeniable that Luffy..." She looked at Luffy again, looking at the brother who always loved her and her soft and coquettish brother, "Even if I am from another world, but the bond between you and me, even if we are separated by a world, can never be separated. You are my deeply loved brother, and this bond can never be destroyed!"

Luffy pressed the straw hat hard and covered his eyes. He pursed his lips and tried to suppress the urge to cry, but suddenly he felt himself being pulled into a warm and good-smelling embrace.

"Idiot, I told you that I am your sister. A younger brother always has the right to cry in his sister's arms. Whether it is to act like a spoiled child or to cry loudly, at this moment, feel free to use your rights as a younger brother. "Ann patted Luffy's back gently, just like when she was a child and yelled at Luffy from her world to sleep, slowly and gently, with soft eyes.

But it completely opened up Luffy's emotional torrent. He huddled in his sister's arms, whimpering silently like a child.

"Pick one of my favorite flowers and wait for the stars to blink again at night

It was my mother's gentle whisper, like a dream talk about seeing an elf.

When the moon climbed above the head, the well-behaved child had already closed his eyes

When the first light of morning appears, recall the dream full of flowers."

An hummed softly. After a while, she picked up the sleeping Luffy and jumped off the bow of the ship. Then she walked into the boys' room in the Sonny in a familiar manner, and gently placed Luffy on the bed. Covering him with a blanket, he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him for a while before leaving the room.

Walking to the living room, Usopp stared at her with a very strange and weird look, "Hey..." An looked over. Usopp instantly became scared and hid behind Franky. An looked at her strangely. Everyone asked, "Why is he so afraid of me?"

Everyone complained in unison: "Hey! Anyone who sees someone who has been dead for so long suddenly appears will be scared!"

Finally, Nami came forward and said, "Forget it, let me ask, why do you know the Sonny so well? You have never been here, right?"

"Well..." An glanced at her with a smile, "Luffy knows, you can ask him."

"An Jiang - you didn't eat just now, you must be hungry. I made you a love dinner~~~"

An obediently walked to the dining table and sat down, then looked at the man with heart-broken eyes with a smile, "Thanks, Sanji."

"Hi - it's my honor to cook for the lovely lady~~~!"

"An, you are An, right!!"

The sudden voice made An, who was just about to eat, startled. He turned around and found that it was... someone whom An knew in this world.

--Yamato.

"Great! I knew you wouldn't die so easily!!" Yamato strode up to her and held her hand tightly, looking at her with bright eyes still sobbing tears.

An was silent for a moment. To be honest, she didn't know Yamato in her original world, and she had never been to Wano Country before. Before receiving the memory of "An", she never knew that Ace actually knew such a person. A girl... Esta never said anything about this!

But from "Ann's" memory, she knew that Yamato was a very good girl and the type of girl she would want to make friends with. Just as she didn't want to lie to Luffy, she also didn't want to lie to the girl in front of her. , so she looked at Yamato quietly and said softly, "Sorry, I'm not the person you know."

"..." Yamato's expression froze for a moment, and then turned into confusion, "Huh?"

An looked around at Nami and the others, including Ace who was sitting next to her. She probably knew that she might not be able to eat dinner. She sighed, then took her hand out of Yamato's hand, leaned on the chair and faced everyone, "I am indeed Ann, Luffy's sister, but I am not the Ann of this world."

The Straw Hat Pirates: "???"

Yamato: "What do you mean...?"

An glanced at her and spread his hands, "Literally, I come from another world and will leave this world soon. In my world, my name is also An, and I have a younger brother named Luffy. He has the same reliable companions and adventures as you."

"No wonder, I always feel like you are very familiar with us and the Sonny..." Usopp said blankly, and An laughed, "As expected of Usopp, he is really attentive."

Usopp yelled at her: "Is this a matter of being careful or not?!"

"Hey! You just said, reliable partners, you mean us...?" Franky said, and then immediately stood up and put their arms together, "That's really super~~ ~So excited!!”

Robin glanced at him and then looked back, "You mean, another...world? Is it a parallel world?"

"Eh? Robin, do you know this?" An looked at her in surprise, and Robin chuckled, "I once read a similar story in a book. I always thought it was fiction, but I didn't expect it to be true. .”

"So is what you just said true? Are you really not a ghost?" Chopper asked timidly, hiding half of his body behind Jinbe.

"Well..." An pretended to think for a moment, and then showed him a pair of sharp white teeth, "I don't belong to this world, so it's obvious that I am a lonely ghost now. Oh~~"

Chopper screamed and finally hid correctly. His whole body was hidden behind Jinbei. Jinbei shed a drop of cold sweat and was messy in the wind.

Usopp, Chopper and Nami are really afraid of such supernatural events, but it is obvious that Nami is more courageous.

"I suddenly remembered that you once said that you actually died in the war at the top in your world, but you were resurrected later, right?" Ace, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke to An, and saw her nod again. Continue to ask, "Then why can you be resurrected?"

An thought for a while, "How should I put it? My soul actually has something special, and I didn't really die at that time, but it was equivalent to a suspended animation, so the special ability I possessed slowed down." They slowly repaired my wounds, and it took me two full years to wake up." She looked at Ace's open mouth and interrupted him without hesitation, "I know what you want to ask, what you want to ask the world Can An be resurrected in the same way?"

Ace didn't speak, but he acquiesced. Next to An, Yamato, who had been silent since learning the truth, couldn't help but look up at her, as well as everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates, including... a figure outside the door.

"As much as I hate to say it, it's a shame that she will never wake up again."

"Why, why?!"

"Why?" An looked at Ace calmly, "Because she has lost her soul."

Ace frowned, "Lost your soul? What does this mean?"

"I'm sorry I can't tell you." An lowered her eyes to hide the look in her eyes. An in this world once made a wish to a demon, and the price was her soul. Moreover, even if she did not lose her soul, her last remaining ability was no longer enough to repair the fatal wound. She went to sea at the age of 15 and went to sea. Since then, he has been fighting crazily. The fatal wounds caused by countless battles where his life was almost hanging by a thread have been consuming that ability...

The door was pushed open and Luffy walked in.

"Luffy...?" An was stunned.

"Hehehe~ Good evening sister, I'm hungry~ Sanji, I want to eat~~~~" Luffy patted his stomach and sat next to her, then stared at the dinner in front of her and drooled. Seeing his appearance, An raised her eyebrows and pushed the dinner over, "Eat if you're hungry, Luffy."

However, Luffy wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and refused her, "I don't want it. This is my sister's dinner! I'll just wait until Sanji makes it!"

"Ok."

After dinner, everyone dispersed to do their own thing. An came to the deck, jumped on the side of the ship and sat down to enjoy the breeze. After a while, footsteps sounded behind her, and then, a figure sat next to her. Down.

"When will you leave?"

"It seems that someone really wants me to leave as soon as possible~"

Ace was speechless and couldn't help but retort, "...That's not what I meant."

An spread his hands and said he didn't know, "Just like I don't know how I got here, I don't know when I can go back..." At this point, he couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "Obviously I don't know. There’s no such thing as breaking into the rainbow fog.”

"what?"

"Nothing. By the way, how about Sabo? You and Luffy should have met him, right?"

Ace looked at her strangely, with sharp eyes that seemed to poke a hole in her, "You mentioned Sabo's name when you first met me. You said you have exactly the same personality as Luffy's sister. Growing up, but as far as I know, you probably don’t know Sabo, but judging from your tone, you are very familiar with him..."

"..." An looked at him speechlessly, "In a way, your intuition is also scary."

Ace said expressionlessly, "Thank you."

"However, my surname is Mengqi." Looking at the other party's confused expression, An blinked at him, "It is our characteristic to not play according to common sense! That's why I don't want to answer your question."

"??you……!"

Seeing Ace deflated, Ann jumped down from the side of the boat, made a face at him, "I--I won't tell you." Then turned around and walked away, leaving a furious Portcas behind.

An found Luffy at the stern of the ship. At that time, he was sitting on the deck, staring at the silent sea in a daze. When he saw her sitting down next to him, he said dullly, "Sister, in your world, are you and Have we had a wedding drink together?"

...Why don't you ask this?

Rubbing the corners of her eyes with a headache, An originally wanted to avoid the question, but when she saw the emotion in Luffy's eyes, she paused and finally answered in the affirmative. After receiving the answer, Luffy just said softly "That's it" and fell into silence.

An didn't know how much he noticed, but Luffy like this made her feel very distressed.

After an unknown amount of time, Luffy spoke again.

"I used to think that the reason why my sister didn't want to pay attention to me was because I failed to protect her and she was injured by pirates. I have been following my sister hard, but she never wanted to look at me. At first glance, she always avoided me. I thought she was still angry with me... I only saw my sister once after my grandfather left us to Dadan. After that, I never saw her again... …”

"I couldn't find it no matter how hard I looked. I asked my grandpa, but he refused to tell me. At that time, my sister was always surrounded by a group of dark things. I wanted to rescue her, but I couldn't catch her. When I have sex with her, I always feel that my sister is doing something very dangerous and difficult. When I was a child, I didn’t know what it was, but now I realize that my sister has already decided from that time..."

"I...can't save my sister..."

No matter how hard he tried to reach out, he could not save his sister. It was not that he was powerless, but that his sister was unwilling to hold his hand.

Ann didn't speak, and Luffy didn't need her answer.

"Why hasn't my sister been willing to see me for so many years? Does my sister hate me?"

"No, she has been watching you silently."

"Did sister go to sea in the same year as Ace?"

Ann nodded.

"...When I was at Mount Golbo, most of the injuries I suffered could be healed the next day. It wasn't until the year Ace went to sea that the injuries I sustained returned to normal healing capabilities."

An's tooth ached for a moment, and he hesitated to speak. Finally, he couldn't help but reached out and tapped his forehead, "What a boy, you actually learned how to use clichés!"

Luffy looked innocent.

The two fell into silence again.

"I'm very happy that my sister from another world is still alive." Luffy suddenly looked at her and smiled, then gently rested his head on her shoulder, "If my sister goes back, will she still remember me?... …I mean, remember me in this world…?”

An rubbed his head vigorously, "Of course! I will never forget it."

"Hehe~ That's good~~"

The immaturity of a young man will eventually be replaced by the maturity of pursuing his dreams. Luffy lacks a lot of things and has a lot more things, but as long as he can still smile from the bottom of his heart, An will be happy.

The hand began to gradually become transparent. An called Abu and asked about its future plans. Abu was very smart and could understand some human words, so it had already known that she was not the person it was waiting for. When it saw her, The hands that became transparent screamed "buahbu" several times.

Its sound attracted Luffy's attention. He sat up straight. Before he could say anything, he saw that An's entire right arm had disappeared. He immediately panicked, "Are you...sister leaving?" ?”

Ann looked at him apologetically, "Sorry, Luffy."

Luffy took her left hand, pleading in his eyes, "Can't sister...stay?" Can't you stay for him?

An shook his head, "This is not something I can decide."

Luffy stopped talking. He looked at her stubbornly and suddenly hugged her tightly, as if he was using all his strength to hug someone who could easily leave him. An hugged him back, and just a few seconds before she was about to disappear, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Luffy, have I ever said a word to you?"

………………

Luffy looked sadly at the people who disappeared bit by bit, and finally all disappeared. She left nothing behind, as if even her appearance was just an illusion, but the voice in the air that had not dissipated clearly. Tell him that it was not a dream.

"——Luffy, I will always love you."
