[One Piece] and the world

It was already evening, and Maginot came with the village chief. They brought new clothes to An and Luffy, and also cooked a table of delicious food at Dadan's house.

She followed Garp quietly, and as she approached the Dadan House, she heard the voices of Luffy, Ace, and the familiar Sabo inside. The three of them were arguing loudly about who would be the captain after going to sea. thing.

Then she saw her grandfather's originally cheerful face darken, and he was about to walk over angrily with a fist as big as a sandbag, but suddenly his feet were empty, and he fell into a big pit...

An suddenly remembered that there was indeed a time when Luffy and the others were obsessed with digging traps to catch wild animals and had been practicing in the open space in front of Dadan's house. And that time, her grandfather was caught in the same trap as now.

Looking at her grandfather who climbed up again but immediately stepped into another pit, his face completely darkened, she silently mourned for the three people inside, and then wisely chose to stand outside the door and wait.

Sure enough, the next second, the screams of three people, including Dadan, were heard inside, and the place suddenly became noisy. After a while, the three people ran out from Dadan's house, with expressions on their faces as frightened as if they had seen a ghost.

The moment she saw them appear, An immediately hid herself in the darkness and did not let them see her. Then, after seeing Garp chasing the three of them away, she walked towards Dadan's house, but just after taking two steps, she suddenly stopped again.

She quietly looked at the brightly lit Dadan House in front of her. After a few seconds, she finally lowered her eyes in loneliness, walked back to a tree not far away, and stood there quietly, waiting for her grandfather. 's return.

Ten minutes later, Garp's figure finally appeared not far away. He took long, carefree steps and was startled when he saw An standing in the darkness outside: "Didn't you go in to see Maginot and the others, An? "

An lowered her head and looked at the ground beneath her feet.

Garp frowned, and then a huge feeling of powerlessness arose spontaneously. He had absolutely nothing to do with his precious granddaughter. He thought, should he take Ann to the Navy headquarters again and let the guy check it again?

Forget it, let's take a look again. That guy is very busy now, and I haven't even seen him for a few times during the Warring States Period. Let's wait until he comes back from vacation next time and take a look.

Thinking of this, he came to An, took out a colorful and huge lollipop bigger than her face from his arms and handed it to her - he specifically consulted Xiao He before returning from vacation, seven or eight years old What do little girls generally like? Xiaohe gave him several answers at that time, such as beautiful clothes, beautiful dolls, rainbow-colored candies, etc.

Capps thought about it a lot, and made a special trip to the Shampoo Islands. It took him a long time to choose this rainbow-colored lollipop that was as big as his fist. He looked at his granddaughter anxiously and expectantly.

The perspective was blocked, and An took a step back to see clearly what her grandfather handed her, but she didn't know whether to accept it or not. In fact, her correct approach should be to refuse unmoved, but looking at her grandfather's expectant and cautious expression, she began to hesitate.

She had never seen such a cautious look in her grandfather. As a "naval hero", his grandfather, even when facing her and Luffy, was always in the position of an elder, even when he was outside. The time he spent returning to Windmill Village was really very small, but An could feel that his grandfather loved her and Luffy very much, including Ace.

Such a grandfather made her feel distressed.

An almost immediately wanted to reach out her hand to pick up the lollipop, but at this moment, her soul once again began to hurt as if it was being torn apart. The unbearable pain made her face turn pale in an instant. Fortunately, it was night now, and he was blocked by the lollipop, so Garp couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.

But the severe pain woke her up like a blow to the head, so she tried her best to suppress her inner emotions and turned her head to the side. She felt the hand holding the lollipop tremble when she turned her head. After a few seconds, she took the lollipop back.

"Don't you like sweets? Then grandpa will bring you other things next time, hahahaha!"

Garp left.

Originally they planned to stay a few more days, but after Luffy, Ace and Sabo suffered a "love fist" that night, they ran away from home together, which made Garp angry and bored at the same time. He was chatting with his precious granddaughter, but she ignored him, so he could only return to Malinfando aggrieved and helplessly.

After seeing Sabo, An had nothing to worry about. After that day, she still had not stepped into Dadan's House. Not far from Dadan's House, she quietly looked at Maginot and Maginot who were leaving Dadan's House. The village chief took one look and left quietly.

No one except Garp knew she had ever been there.

On this day, An was barbecuing in an open space. This was the opponent she found in the morning. She won, so the wild boar became her lunch! She is very good at grilling meat, at least Luffy likes to eat her grilled meat, but unfortunately, Luffy obviously doesn't have the same taste this time.

But she never expected that someone would follow the scent and come looking for her.

"you are?"

The sudden sound startled her, and An immediately jumped up from the ground and assumed an attacking posture. However, when she saw the appearance of the person coming, her ferocious momentum suddenly stopped.

The one who appeared in front of her was Sabo.

It’s the gentle Sabo!

"Who are you? Are you grilling meat? It smells so good!" Sabo said, completely ignoring the other person's alertness, and suddenly shouted in one direction: "Hey - Luffy, Ace, it smells like grilled meat!" it's here!!"

Hearing the names of Luffy and Ace, An's heart violently rioted. She quickly turned her head away, not even caring about the barbecue on the ground, and moved her legs to escape from here and escape from meeting them.

However, "Sister?" A childish and soft voice sounded behind her, making her escape a little awkward. "Sister!! It's really you!" A figure jumped on her body and hugged her tightly. .

Being hugged by the warm body, An felt as if her heart was constantly expanding and getting bigger, and the suffocating feeling of crazy beating seemed to tell her that her heart would explode in the next second.

"I miss you so much, sister~~ Where have you been?" Luffy, who was hanging behind her, rubbed her neck and said with a smile, "Sister, come with us, okay?"

"What's going on? Is this Luffy's sister?" Sabo asked before he could figure out the situation, looking at Ace who was silent. Ace nodded and said "tsk" with an unknown meaning: "It seems that she is indeed Luffy's sister, but I have only met her once."

A weird guy with no sense of presence. Ace thought.

An silently pulled Luffy off her body, and then gently pushed him away from her. After doing all this, she did not choose to look back at him, so she raised her feet and wanted to leave, but her hand was pulled again. Stopped, forcing her to look back.

"Sister and I, how about joining Ace and Sabo?"

May I? Luffy asked.

"Luffy's sister, do you want to join us?" Sabo put his hands behind his head and smiled, showing his missing front teeth.

"Tch!" Ace held his hands in displeasure and turned to look aside. Although he had accepted Luffy, it didn't mean that he would easily accept Luffy's so-called "sister". He didn't want to be with this guy he didn't know at all. action. Ace's heart was filled with rejection.

Ann looked at Luffy's hand, which was holding her own.

——[Luffy stretched out his hand to her and asked her, can she not be alone all the time? 】

[So she made a change and integrated into Luffy, Ace, and Sabo's side. 】

[The straw of salvation is named Luffy from now on. 】

However, Luffy is a little fool. He doesn't know that she is now stepping on a road called redemption, so now she does not need anyone's salvation, nor does she need anyone to extend a hand to her.

So she held Luffy's little hand, and as his eyes gradually brightened, she gently but firmly pulled away her hand. She didn't look at Luffy, Ace or Sabo. She just turned around silently as usual, and walked into the woods without looking back, just like every time she disappeared at the door of the bar, never to be seen again.

The feeling of being unable to respond turned into a vague sigh of sadness and disappeared in the silent wind that no one could hear.
