[One Piece] and the world

Chapter 9 Fantaisie–The Abyss

Ann fell from the tree.

However, her face was already covered with tears. here we go again. She dreamed of that scene again, she always dreamed of that scene.

That scene was so clear that it seemed like just yesterday, it was still in front of her. Let her heart wail fiercely and crazily, asking her why she didn't save him? !

Why wasn't he saved? !

In the two years since his death, she questioned him countless times. Every moment of every day, she questioned herself with red eyes and heart-breaking questions. Why didn't you save him? ! Why didn't you save him? ! Why didn't you save him? !

Those miserable and dark despairs took root in her heart, constantly sucking her blood and growing crazily until they grew into towering trees, swallowing her in one gulp, trapping her in a dark and dim cage and destroying themselves.

Do not!

She can save him! She still has a chance!

An jumped up from the ground, ignoring his broken leg, and limped away from the place.

Coming to an open space, An used his ability to heal his broken leg, then called out "Ring Yin" and rushed into the mountains without looking back, attacking the beasts in the mountains again and again.

Become strong, become very, very strong, strong enough to stand on that battlefield, strong enough to change the outcome!

Dreaming again.

When An saw Ace's familiar smiling face, her eyes became hot and she almost shed tears again. The dreams she had over the years were always those that made her almost die from pain. She would always dream about Ace's face when he died, the face that would never show a bright smile to her again...

But this time in the dream, she finally saw Ace when he was still alive.

Ace looked at An, who was crying suddenly, at a loss. He even tried to coax her a lot but couldn't stop her tears. He could only sigh helplessly and pull her into his arms, "An, I really can't take you with me." Let’s go find Blackbeard!”

An was stunned. She stopped crying and hurriedly grabbed Ace's hand: "Ace, what did you say? What about Blackbeard?"

Ace was a little confused by her words, but he still answered her seriously: "It's Tiqi, I can do anything with you, but I will never agree to this one thing!"

Ace hasn't caught up with Blackbeard yet? An started buzzing in her head. She looked around and saw a desert of golden light, which made her breath suffocate. This is, in Alabasta?

It was the last place she saw Ace.

"Then, I'm leaving, Ann!" Ace put on his hat and showed a big smile, turned around and was about to leave, but his clothes were tightly grabbed. "No!!" Ann cried, "Don't go, Ace!"

Ace turned around in surprise.

"Don't go!" An hugged his back and begged with humility and despair: "Don't go, please... Ace!"

"I beg you, don't go...don't go, okay?"

Ace was silent. He felt that the hand holding him behind his back was trembling constantly. Earth-shaking complex emotions kept pouring out of An's body, and even his heart was tingling. He had never seen such a frightened An, as if he would never see him again once he left.

But when he thought of Thatch's face lying in a pool of blood, the anger in Ace's chest kept roaring, absolutely unforgivable!

So he pulled An's hand away, turned around and gently rubbed her head, and assured her gently but firmly: "Don't worry, An. Listen carefully..."

——"I will never die!"

"........."

fraud.

Tonight, do you want to go see Luffy and the others?

An put away the food remnants and sat on the ground looking at the still burning fire and thinking. The last time I saw Luffy and the others seemed to have been a few months ago, although at that time I only glanced at them from a distance.

Go ahead and go see Luffy, Ace and Sabo today. Just take a look from a distance near Dadan's House as before.

With this thought in mind, An stood up and put out the fire, and then walked towards the Dadan House. In the past few months, she had never been to the Dadan House, and rarely visited Luffy, Ace and Sabo. , she is just alone in the mountains, constantly looking for beasts to fight and train herself. No matter how injured she is, she will not stop. Her ability has the ability to heal wounds.

At night, they will find a big tree to climb up to sleep. If it rains, they will venture into the beast's cave, drive the beast away or defeat it, and then occupy the cave. But usually when the rain stops, she won't stay in the cave anymore, because the caves of wild beasts are almost filled with the unique and unpleasant smell of wild beasts.

After walking for about half an hour, An just approached Dadan's house when she heard someone shouting in front of her.

"Damn it!! Let me go!!"

This is... Ace's voice. An An panicked and ran over quickly. She stood behind a tree and then looked towards Dadan's house, only to see a struggling Ace who was tied to the tree.

"It's so noisy. If you're a man, stop crying! Luffy!!"

Hearing Luffy's name, Ann noticed that Luffy's voice was almost choking from crying in the Dadan House.

What... what's wrong?

An stepped out in panic and wanted to run forward to ask, but the sudden severe pain in her head forced her to squat on the ground with her head in her arms. Ace, who was tied to the tree, was still shouting loudly, "Saab is here." He won’t die!! How could he die!!”

Sabo is dead? An's pupils shrank violently, and regardless of the pain in his head, he suddenly looked up in Ace's direction, his mind going blank.

Sabo, dead?

No, it's impossible. She obviously saw Sabo after she went to sea... Yes, she clearly saw Sabo after she went to sea. Sabo was not dead! An was kneeling on the ground, gasping for air. When she heard that Sabo was dead, she almost lost her mind. If she rushed forward...

She couldn't imagine the consequences of rushing forward. She had already come this far, and she could no longer afford to fail.

She forced herself to calm down and sat behind a tree trying to remember. At this time, she should have been taken to Marinevando by her grandfather, and when she came back, she heard the sad news that Sabo had died...

So, now that’s the thing, right? Now, what happened when Sabo "died" was something she didn't know about, right?

However, even though she knew that Sabo was actually still alive, when she just heard Ace say that Sabo was dead, her heart couldn't help but tremble, and the pain made her lips lose their color.

She sat on the ground motionless and looked at Ace who was constantly struggling. No one came out of the Dadan House, and Luffy's crying became weaker and weaker until it disappeared completely.

Late at night, the lights in Dadan's house finally went out, and Ace, who was tied to a tree, couldn't bear the exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep.

After a long time, there was silence all around, and all creatures fell into a deep sleep. An Cai stood up, brushed off the grass clippings on his clothes, and then slowly walked to Ace. She raised her head and looked at Ace who was tied high to the tree. She wanted to reach out and touch his face, but she couldn't reach him at all.

After watching quietly for a few minutes, An opened her mouth. She had not spoken for a long time, so the voice she made at this time was very soft, almost inaudible: "It's okay, Ace. Don't worry, Sabo... will definitely be there." It’s waiting for you somewhere on the ocean.”

"It's definitely possible, we'll meet again..."

Feeling that he heard something, Ace frowned in his deep sleep, but could not wake up. He continued to be immersed in the dream with Sabo, and kept running after his dream.

An climbed up the tree and looked at Ace quietly, staying up all night.

Early the next morning, the door of Dadan's house was opened. Dadan and Dogula walked out, and then stood in front of Ace. An was a little far away and couldn't hear clearly what Dadan said. So she closed her eyes and listened to the sound in the wind.

"...It's a letter, a letter from Sabo...!!"

An opened her eyes and saw a man holding a letter in his hand and gesticulating at Dadan constantly. Ann couldn't remember whether he was Dogula or Magula. The letter was handed into Ace's hands. After Ace got the letter, he walked into the woods alone.

Seeing this, An quickly climbed down the tree and followed Ace from a distance. Seeing the envelope being thrown to the ground by Ace, An picked it up as he passed by. The envelope was written for brother, and the location was Mount Golbo. , signed Saab, with a capital English s after the name, but it was marked with an x.

An understood that it meant going to sea.

Looking at Ace who still didn't stop walking in the distance, An folded the envelope in half, carefully put it into his pocket, and then continued to follow until he reached the edge of a hillside cliff, only to see Ace stop. So An walked to the mountain in the distance and looked at him quietly.

After Ace read the letter, he suddenly burst into tears. His cry spread far and wide, and even An heard it.

Ann looked at Ace crying loudly in disbelief. In her memory, Ace had never cried like this - crying loudly and without any scruples like Luffy. She rarely saw Ace cry, really rarely, never, it seemed.

However, at this moment, the crying Ace overlapped with the crybaby Luffy in his memory. The rich despair and pain in Ace even made Ann unable to bear to look at it any longer. She sat on the ground hugging her legs and buried her face deeply. into his arms and cried silently.

But they just want to live...
