[One Piece] and the world

Since arriving here, Luffy has been following Ace.

On the night of her first day here, before Ace and Luffy who had chased him out came back, An left Dadan's House. She chose a random direction and walked into the mountains.

She saw Luffy at the bottom of a cliff on a lonely bridge.

He was being chased by a pack of wild wolves, with many wounds on his body that were not there before. He climbed up a big tree to rest, but the wolves were still howling around the tree, their sharp teeth reflecting in the moonlight. There was a cold light, and he was trying to climb the tree, trying to tear the person in the tree in half and then swallow him.

An stood on the cliff and watched silently, her eyes not daring to close for a moment, staring at the alpha wolf that had been trying to climb the tree. She just stood there quietly. The moonlight reflected sadness in her eyes, and the night wind pushed her body. Even though it made her stagger, she did not feel soft.

After a long, long time, Luffy fell asleep hugging the tree trunk tiredly.

She finally started to move. She called out "Ring Yin" and jumped off the cliff. She rushed towards the wolves with her sword and cut off the head of the leading wolf with one sword. Then she stared coldly at the remaining wolves. He lowered his body and roared, smelly saliva constantly flowing out of his mouth and dripping on the stone ground.

An raised his sword without saying a word, moved his feet, and quickly rushed into the wolves, piercing the belly of one of the wolves. The wolf that was stabbed in the stomach lay on the ground with a howl, and the rest of the wolves finally stopped. They all roared angrily and flew towards her. She reacted quickly and dodged, taking the opportunity to cut off the head of a wild wolf again, and then started a fierce battle with the remaining wolves.

However, her current body is still too small after all. Even though she has trained hard in the past few years, her small body cannot even exert most of its previous strength. Therefore, without paying attention, she was bitten by a wild wolf that sneaked up from behind. arm, but it was pierced by a sword and killed.

Until late at night, not a single wild wolf was left.

An looked at the wolf corpses and blood everywhere, pondered for a while, ignored her injured arm, gritted her teeth, dragged all the wolf corpses away, and threw them into the river. As for the blood stains on the ground, she couldn't remove them, so Create traces of large beasts. She showed up and left nothing behind.

After doing all this, she climbed back up, sat down next to a tree where she could see Luffy's position, tore off her clothes, and began to bandage her wounds silently, ignoring the pain.

The moonlight is as cool as water, and for a moment it softens the loneliness of the moment.

She actually didn't know what Luffy went through in the "past life" when he ran out after Ace but didn't come back. At that time... she was in a mood of giving up on herself and Luffy, so even if she saw Luffy disappear for a week, she didn't care at all.

What a hateful sister...

But Luffy must have been very uncomfortable during the week when he disappeared, otherwise he wouldn't have not come back for a whole week. He was chased by wolves on the first night. At such a dangerous time, right? Did he ever hope that his sister would be able to rescue him and take him back?

She looked at the moonlight, and the dark clouds slowly obscured the moon, dimming together with the wind around her. She stretched out her hand, but did not catch the falling leaves.

So she stopped moving and sat quietly on the ground, looking motionlessly at the tree where Luffy slept.

"If you really can't bear to leave, go ahead and bring him back~"

The devil's soft words rang deep in his heart, with a deceptive tenderness, but also concealed the maliciousness of pity and reluctance.

An looked away and looked at the moon, which had been covered by dark clouds for a long time. There was no wave in her eyes.

"I just participated in a battle." And the person who benefited happened to be Luffy, just him.

The sound didn't ring again, and she didn't care. She turned her gaze to the tree again, and then sat there silently until dawn. It wasn't until she saw Luffy climbing down from the tree that she stood up silently, with a chill all over her body. leave.

She did not return to Dadan's house again. This was something she had decided long ago. During the day, she would go into the mountains to fight with wild beasts. If she won, she would be able to solve the food problem. If she lost, she would go hungry, so she never lost!

At night, she would go back to Dadan's house and find a tree to climb up to sleep. She didn't dare to return to the Dadan House. She was afraid that in front of Ace, he would easily pull out all the emotions she had been suppressing. Just like when she saw him again, the feeling of being lost and found almost made her heart beat. The joy of stopping.

Luffy was still chasing after Ace as in his memory for three whole months. During these three months, except for An returning to Dadan's house one night while they were sleeping and taking away his clothes, he had never been there again. Stepped into Dadan's house and appeared in front of them.

It's like it never appeared.

She could occasionally see Ace and Luffy following him, but she always hid her figure, so no one noticed that she was actually always swimming near them, as long as they took a few more steps. , take a few more steps and you will find her.

The mountains seemed to have become her home. After feeling that her strength was almost the same, she stayed in the mountains, constantly looking for beasts to fight, and then risking her life to win them.

But she didn't dare to die. Her life must be saved to save one person!

So before that, no matter how powerful the enemy she faces, even if the chance of winning is almost zero, she must, absolutely must be the one who survives to the end!

When she felt really tired and almost couldn't hold on any longer, she would return to the area near Dadan's house and sit quietly on the tree waiting for Ace and Luffy who would return late.

Whenever she sees Ace's face, she will be full of energy. She is so tired that she can't open her eyes or move. She can even be full of health enough to fight a beast.

More than five months later, An was found by Garp who was on vacation.

"An, grandpa heard that you haven't returned to Dadan in the past few months?" Garp sat on the ground carelessly and clasped his feet. After finishing tacking, he put it under his nose and smelled it, and then put his hand on himself with a look of disgust. Wipe vigorously on clothes.

He glanced at his granddaughter, who was still standing motionless with no expression at all, and sighed deeply in his heart. He stood up and covered his granddaughter's head with his big hand. He just rubbed it, but his granddaughter dodged it. subsequent contact. Garp's hand hanging in the air paused, then he put it into his pocket nonchalantly and said.

"An, Dadan thought something happened to you and has been worried about you. Although grandpa doesn't object to you doing anything, you have to let us know that nothing happened to you, right?" After Garp finished speaking, he said the next sentence , turned around and left.

"Mackino and the others just happened to come to see you and Luffy. Come with me to meet her."

Looking at Garp's leaving figure, An hesitated for a while and then followed him. When Garp heard the movement behind him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He could use the "Iron Fist of Love" to teach his disobedient grandson a lesson without any burden, but he couldn't do it with his granddaughter.

Moreover, An’s illness...

Thinking of this, Garp's eyes darkened. He thought of what Dadan told him. She had never seen An again since he brought An to her place. Dadan was so frightened that she thought the little girl was dead, and she didn't dare to see him when she saw him coming.

He knew that his granddaughter was a person with her own ideas. After all, that person said that Ann's intelligence would increase with age, but... he would rather she still looked like the retarded person she was five years ago, rather than see her. Step by step, she walked towards the abyss of emotional annihilation.

But as a grandfather, he couldn't do anything.
