[One Piece] Sabo and I fight for the character

After taking a shower and changing into Ace's old clothes, Violet returned to her previous room. After seeing her hat and vest neatly placed on the floor, she was very grateful for their attentiveness.

After touching her vest and finding her wallet, Violet counted how much she had left so that she could pay Dadan's medical bills and buy clothes tomorrow. If you have the opportunity, let’s develop a relationship with them.

Many friends lead to many paths, Luke said.

Although he looks like a big guy, he is very careful. No wonder his friends are willing to follow him.

After touching her hair that accidentally got wet while taking a shower, and looking at the night outside, Violet thought about it and decided to go outside to catch the cold wind. Sleeping with wet hair was uncomfortable.

Putting on a coat, Violet walked downstairs. When she got downstairs, she found that Magura and the others were still cleaning the floor, and she hesitated whether to disturb them or not. Dogula turned around and saw her standing at the top of the stairs.

"Ah, Iska, why are you down?"

Violet, who almost forgot that Iska was her name, slowed down for a moment, and when she realized that Magula had stopped washing, she asked with concern, "Did we wake you up, Iska."

"No, not really. I just want to go outside and get some fresh air. My hair is so wet that I can't sleep." Violet waved her hand and carefully pulled her trousers over the mop bucket filled with water. Dogula watched this action. He smiled kindly and said, "Ace's clothes are still a bit long for you, just roll them up."

"Well, okay." She smiled awkwardly but politely. It was definitely not the reason for her short legs. She was very tall among her peers.

After saying hello to Magura and the others, Violet walked out of the door.

Their conversation came from behind.

"But Iska looked really white after washing her face, and she looks very good-looking. She will be very beautiful when she grows up, just like Miss Maginot."

Magura leaned against the top of the broom, "How did Ace meet Iska? He seems quite lonely and unexpectedly found such a cute girl."

Dogura complained, "Are you kidding? Didn't you see Iska's whole body exploded when he saw Ace?"

"No wonder Ace's face turned red when he approached her and spoke to her." Magula suddenly understood. Dogula nodded and retorted, "No, I think she is shy."

"Didn't you just say that Iska was so angry? How could you be so shy?"

"Ang, this, that may be my misunderstanding."

Violet walked very fast as if her tail had been stepped on.

-

After the wind blew for a while outside the Dadan House, Violet, who was standing outside the house, saw Ace coming from the distant forest with a water pipe.

When passing by her, he glanced at the familiar clothes on her body, and a flash of emotion flashed in his eyes. By the time she was about to take a closer look, she had already passed her and walked into the room. This time, it was another failed attempt.

Stomping her feet, Violet tightened the collar of her coat, and buried her face in the collar as the evening breeze blew. She breathed in the fresh smell of soap into her body, feeling that her whole body was surrounded by this smell. She suddenly thought After realizing that Ace had worn this coat, his face was as colorful as a palette.

Putting her face out of her collar, Violet looked around, then looked back at the door.

It's good, there is no one, otherwise she would be thought of as a weird kid who likes to smell people's clothes.

"Ahem, let's go back to sleep." Violet said to herself, then turned and entered the house.

-

Ace on the other side returned to the room, took a bottle of water and drank while recalling what happened at noon.

Today, as usual, he had lunch and ran into the forest with tools and water pipes, planning to hunt for tonight's dinner.

On a whim, he came up with the idea of ​​making a trap to lure animals in. For his first attempt, he dug a not-so-big hole and planned to catch smaller animals first to see how effective it was.

After digging the hole and hanging the bait on it, Ace squatted in the grass and waited quietly.

Unexpectedly, before the prey came, a girl dressed like a tourist came. Ace thought that he had entered by accident. Looking at the childish face that was even smaller than him, she looked quite cute. Should he drive her away so as not to disturb the animals? Before he could get up, the girl walked directly into the trap he had set and stretched out his hand to touch her. He ran out quickly, but it was still a step too late. The girl fell straight away. Go down.

"You idiot!" As soon as the curse came out, he felt the girl's eyes looking towards him. Fortunately, the hole was not dug too deep. Ace said thankfully, and then a burst of awkward anger burst out, "Are you awake? Are you? Don’t you know this is a trap? Just rush up, you idiot.”

Ace looked into the trap and saw the girl lying on her back in the pit. The pair of black eyes that were the same color as his before she fainted were staring at him.

Seeing that his clean clothes were in a state of disarray, and that he was still unconscious at the bottom of the pit, Ace felt a little guilty. He jumped down with the rope that was originally intended to tie the food, and tied one end to her waist, feeling that it would fall during the movement. He changed the binding method again, then climbed out again with the rope at the other end and the water pipe that fell beside him, and pulled the girl out of the pit like a cargo.

The girl was now unkempt, her long, silky hair was covered with sand and mud, one of her hands was turned outward, and it looked like it was broken. There were also large and small wounds on her body, and her hat fell to her feet.

Seeing the girl's terrible state, Ace couldn't ignore it no matter what. He gave up hunting and carried the girl on his shoulders. Fortunately, she could bear the weight. He didn't think there was anything wrong with this position at all. Carrying him all the way back to Dadan's house scared the bandits into thinking that they were eating children for dinner tonight.

After all, Ace tied up the girl like a pig.

"What are you looking at? Hey, she accidentally fell into the trap I set and got injured. Bandage her."

"Why do we have to wipe your ass for your mistakes!" the bandits roared.

While Dadan was cursing the hateful little ghost Toujing for causing trouble, Dadan asked Magula to go to the village to find a doctor.

The girl's wound was wrapped by the village doctor with medical gauze. The doctor was an old man wearing reading glasses. He wrapped the girl's wound with distress while looking at the bandits surrounding her.

"How did this girl end up like this? Fortunately, she didn't get it on her face, otherwise such a beautiful face would be ruined. She has a slight concussion and needs to be observed for a few more days. Her arm is broken. I fixed her and will take her back after a week. Come to my clinic and change the dressing." The village doctor glared at Dadan angrily, "These big men can't bear to see a child fall like this. If he had called me later, he would have lost his arm!"

"Ah, is it really that serious, doctor!" Dogula was surprised and a little scared, "Ace brought her here, and we don't know what happened?" He pointed at Ace standing at the door.

"It's fake. If I don't tell you it's serious, why would you take it to heart?" The old village doctor said without changing his expression.

"Don't be so scary, you are a doctor!" the bandits roared with bared teeth.

The village doctor looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a black-haired boy, not much older than the girl, standing there with his hands folded across his chest and his eyes cold, but he always glanced at the girl from the corner of his eye.

Seeing the village doctor's kind eyes, Ace avoided looking at him.

Well, he is a shy boy, the village doctor stroked his beard and thought happily, he is still a brother who is not good at expressing himself.

The same black hair makes people look wrong.

When he said it was the boy who did it, the old village doctor's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"This baby is so young at first glance. How can he have so much strength to do such a thing to a girl? You unlearned adults like to put the blame on children. I think you are the culprits!"

The bandits who were blamed for no reason tried their best to explain, but the old village doctor refused to listen. He said to Dadan in a serious voice, "No matter how naughty a girl is, you can't ignore her. If she's a man, don't care too much." Now, I still have to go to the hospital, so I’ll leave first. Remember to take the medical bills to Murakami."

Dadan was stunned by what the old village doctor said. When he finished speaking, he nodded subconsciously. It was only after he had gone a long way that he realized whether he thought she was the girl's parent or a male.

"Hey, I'm a woman, can't you tell? And Ace, you caused this mess and you brought this girl. She will be your responsibility from now on. I don't care."

After Ace left the old village doctor, Dadan automatically blocked everything he said. He glanced at the girl who was still in a coma, feeling a little at a loss for the first time.

Ace had been guarding the girl while she was unconscious. Whenever she moved, he would run over to see if she was uncomfortable. He didn't let out a sigh of relief until he saw her steady breathing.

It was almost dinner time and he went out, intending to go to the forest to catch small animals. Perhaps because he was not calm, he couldn't catch a single bird in half an hour.

It was getting late, and when he thought of the girl lying in the Dadan House, Ace no longer stayed and ran back. As soon as he entered the gate, he heard the girl scream, and then it was just like what happened at the beginning.

For a period of time in Dadan's house, Ace never had a friend of the same age. Only Bandit had been taking care of him since he was a child. When he was a child, he regarded Dadan as his mother and called her mom. He still remembers Dadan's expression at that time. Remember.

Suddenly, seeing a kid of the same age here, wearing the same clothes as him, just like his brother, this feeling is very subtle.

But he would never have anything to do with her. Anyway, she had already failed when she fell into the pit.

Ace was lying on the quilt, his hands crossed behind his head, looking at the ceiling with no focus in his eyes.

When Violet got up the next day, Ace had already gone out. Magura took her to the village to buy supplies and daily necessities for her. Before going out, Violet put the wallet she had taken out last night in Dadan's hand and sincerely thanked her for calling the doctor in time to treat her. After saying that, in Dadan's sight, he walked to Magula and went down the mountain together.

"Wow, why is this girl so sensible? She's nothing like that little devil Ace." Dadan took out a handkerchief from his collar and wiped his tears.

"Boss, stop crying."

"Asshole, I'm not crying."

The path from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain was not difficult, but Magura still carried her down the mountain. After getting off Violet's back, she politely bowed to Magura to thank him.

"Thank you, Magula."

Magura was very embarrassed and smiled naively, "Iska, there is no need to be so polite. We will live together during this period, so let's get along well."

Violet also smiled and responded, "I will definitely do it."

The two of them arrived at the entrance of the village with Dogula. As soon as they stepped in, they saw a large number of people pouring in this direction. Their eyes lit up when they saw them.

"There, found it!"
