Putting on the new skirt that Maginot gave her, Violet sat on the stone in a good mood and swayed her legs. The weather was slightly cooler in the evening, and the wind blew the skirt coolly. The sky blue skirt looked like the blue sky and white clouds. .

The broken hair in front of her forehead had just been washed and was flowing softly in the breeze. It was rare to be alone in a quiet place. Violet looked at the scene of burning clouds in the sky, her thoughts wandered, and she remembered many things from the past.

It has been almost a year in the Kingdom of Goa, and Violet has not seen any news about the Kingdom of Yaco in the newspapers. Most likely, her parents will not publish her story in the newspapers.

Not thinking about them, but thinking about my friends on the other coast.

Violet wanted to write a letter to tell Luke and Xiaolizi that she had found a new place to live, and had also met three sworn brothers. She lived happily here and hoped that everything was well for them.

"what are you doing?"

"Ace? The sudden noise scared me."

"It's because you were obsessed with it. I didn't deliberately make my footsteps softer."

Ace came to Violet's side, wearing new clothes that Maginot had brought, a sky blue T-shirt with a simple drawing of a small sailboat, and khaki shorts. It was clear that he had a stinky face and refused to accept the kindness before, but now he is happily wearing it.

"I'm not happy!"

Ah, could it be that what she said in her heart came out?

"Idiot, your expression is so understanding." Ace said, coming to sit next to her, stepping on the stone beneath him, putting his hands on his knees and looking at the sky. I'm so stingy."

"Hey," Violet bumped his arm, "Sister Maginot is very nice. No one will be defeated by her gentle smile, including you, Ace."

"Crap."

"What were you thinking about just now?" The two of them were so close that they could feel their bodies shaking when they breathed.

"Huh? Nothing."

"Speak quickly, don't pretend to be serious!" Ace hit Violet back with such force that she almost fell down.

"Oh, if I fall down and ruin Rong Ace, just be prepared to support me for the rest of your life!"

"You can support me as long as you want. It's not like you can't afford it. Tell me what you're thinking. Don't tell me you don't have it!"

Tsk, how much money can you have at the age of ten? Violet thought to herself, not sure who is raising whom.

No, this sounds a bit wrong, stop it!

"It's nothing...ah, I said, I want to write a letter to my friends. I haven't contacted them for almost a year. I had put them off because of some things, but now I suddenly remembered them."

"Just this little thing? Why don't you go directly to your sister Maginot? She can send the letter for you."

"Ace, don't you ask me? My friends..."

"Who doesn't have a few friends? This kind of question is too stupid." Ace fell on the big rock. He seemed to particularly like this posture, looking at the sky where the moon had risen above the treetops and the stars were dotted. "And it's not like I haven't kept any secrets from you."

He followed his example and lay down on the stone. Fortunately, the two of them were not big and the stone covered a wide area, otherwise Violet would have been really afraid of falling.

When she was sitting, she didn't know what was in this position. When she lay down, she realized that she could see the boundless sky at a glance.

"You are referring to the question you asked me when you met Sabo before, Pirate King?"

"How come your memory is so good? You can even remember when you said it." Ace clicked his tongue.

“Because I have a good memory, I have a good memory!”

"..."

"You asked that question then, Ace." Violet's breathing suddenly became heavier. She seemed to be spying on a secret that her partner had buried deeply for many years. "One Piece's child...is that you?"

He felt Ace's body visibly stiffen, then tremble, his teeth rubbed up and down, and his breathing became rapid.

Violet had an idea that came from nowhere and held Ace's hand. Different from the cold body temperature on her body, the temperature of contact was warm.

"Although I don't know why you are so repulsive and interested Ace, I want to tell you that if someone tells you that they hate you because of your identity, that person must also be like hearsay and say that wind is rain. How could there be so much in that era? People, One Piece is the dream of many people.”

"You know, the pirates I know all have infinite admiration for the Pirate King. That is the dream of countless people who are willing to go to sea and become pirates. Don't look at me like that. It's true. I have a group of pirate friends. They told me The story about One Piece and the Great Secret Treasure, except that they are no longer pirates, but they still live freely and find happiness."

"So, if someone says that in the future, raise your fist and smash it in his face."

"Why do you look at me like that?"

"It's nothing. I suddenly realized that you are quite good at talking."

"Huh? Are you saying I'm glib? I'm so serious about analyzing it with you, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"

"What did I say? I was praising you for being smart, even though you are only eight years old."

"What's wrong with being eight years old? An eight-year-old can understand many things that adults can't understand. They are a bunch of idiots!"

"Just say it, don't vent on me, don't think I don't know."

After the matter was discussed, Ace suddenly became frank, "Iska, thank you."

"...It's nothing. Aren't we brothers? We share blessings and hardships! If someone bullies you in the future, you come to me!" Violet looked away. She didn't know why when facing Ace who was looking serious at the moment, she It's a bit unaccustomed, it must be because I always have a cold face.

Ace laughed, "...are you laughing at me?"

"No, I'm quite touched."

"Although it sounds very exciting, I always feel that your words are very profound, Ace." She turned her face to stare at him suspiciously, and immediately felt a little embarrassed by the close contact. Dotted with small freckles, she remembered that this must be the third time she had looked at them so closely.

"...Is this why Ace went to sea to become a pirate?"

"Not exactly, for my own sake."

"The reason why I want to be a pirate is very simple, because I want freedom, I also like adventure, and I have imagined what the other side of the sea is like."

"It must be very beautiful."

Ace didn't know how to describe the atmosphere at this moment. He just felt that compared to the tranquility before, there was an unknown smell now, which made him subconsciously say this:

"Really? Then come be my crew member and I will take you on adventures."

"Huh? Is Ace inviting me? But we agreed to go to sea at the age of seventeen. By the time I go to sea, you will have been drifting on the sea for two years." Violet was a little surprised. She had never thought that Ace would I want to take her sailing.

Ace stretched lazily, sat up, and looked down at her lying on her back, "So what, I can pick you up in two years, and then I can introduce my crew to you."

From Violet's perspective, there are scattered stars behind Ace. The moon appears in the clouds, casting golden moonlight. Above the shadow are eyes that are brighter than the stars, clear and pure eyes.

"Iska?"

"Okay, if you still remember this agreement in two years, I will be your crew and sail together."

-

Regarding Yuexia's agreement, no one except the two of them knew about it.

Garp led the soldiers to leave the East China Sea the next day, and Violet also approached Maginot privately, hoping that she could help her send a letter. Maginot was very considerate and agreed without asking any questions.

Time flies, time flies. In the blink of an eye, another year has passed. This year, the four of them have more or less undergone new changes.

For example, Sabo has become more stable, Ace loves eating King's meals more, Luffy's Devil Fruit ability has improved significantly, and Violet's hair has grown longer.

And the deeper the secret is hidden, the harder it is to reveal it. One day, Violet finally couldn't help but want to reveal her identity.

So, one sunny morning, after finishing breakfast, Violet took the three of them to the shore.

"I'm going to tell you something next. I hope you can stay calm after listening to it." Violet said anxiously. The three people in front of her were a little confused. Sabo had a flash of inspiration and made up his mind.

"Iska, what do you want to say?" Luffy was bored and picked his nostrils and scratched his hair from time to time.

"Actually, my name is not Iska. My real name is Pavani Violet. I am the daughter of the Pavani family, a noble family of the Kingdom of Yaco. I secretly boarded Grandpa Garp's boat and came here. I changed my name because I didn't want to be found, Ace, Sabo, Luffy, I didn't mean to deceive you, I hope you forgive me." Violet closed her eyes and bent down to bow to them.

There was no sound for a long time. From the corner of her eye, Violet looked at the three people who were still standing there. Strangely, she straightened up at the same time and looked at the three people who were moving very much with indescribable expressions on their faces.

Ace picked his nose and put his hands in his pockets, "Oh, is that so? So you are also a noble."

Luffy also picked his nose like Ace, and even took it out and flicked it into the air, "Don't all noble brats nowadays like to run away from home?"

Violet resisted the throbbing veins and turned to Sabo, "Based on our relationship, we are still cousins. Sabo, do you remember what happened when you were a child?"

Sabo had a look of realization on his face. He looked at the coordinated movements of his two companions next to him. He didn't want to break the formation and also didn't want to pick his own nose in a disgraceful way, so he looked at Luffy's other side and stuck out his little finger. "Oh, no wonder it feels so familiar." It feels like we really have a relationship.”

"You guys, be a little more serious!"

Violet finally couldn't help but stretched out her fist and punched them one by one.

"So from now on, should we call you Iska or Violet?"

"It's up to you, call me whomever you like."

"I don't want to call you Iska, but your real name is too long, Violet. I'll call you Violet!"

"Is this a compromise? Luffy!"

"Luffy's suggestion is good, and it sounds good to Val, right, Val."

One person cannot bear the burden of three people, so Violet compromises.

"It's up to you, Verle, Verle."

-

A room was built on a big tree in the forest of Gorbo Mountain. It was shaped like a pirate ship. It also had a rudder and an observation deck that a pirate ship should have.

It took them three days to build it together. There is a pirate flag hanging on the top, with several letters drawn with crayons on it. ASL runs through the v. It looks like the big letter v is tightly tied. The letters correspond to the first sounds of the four people's names.

When they moved out of Dadan House, they also took a lot of things from there, including quilts, toiletries, and paper towels.

Sometimes when they run out, they go back to Dadan to get something.

“You brats are treating my place as a convenience store, right!!!”

Every morning they would run around the mountain together, and then challenge a herd of crocodiles, making their own fire to roast the crocodiles.

At night they went back to the tree house and spread out mattresses to sleep in rows.

In order to prevent someone from invading, they also made several small traps, which made Dadan suffer when he sneaked in to see how they were doing.

"If I don't care about these little gangsters, I won't be the bandit leader!!!"

-

With her hair tied into two low braids and wearing a neutral khaki suit, twelve-year-old Violet looked like a little gentleman.

At this time, the little gentleman was being taken to eat by his brothers——

Overlord meal!

I don't know where to start. Ace likes to take them to eat at restaurants in border towns. After the meal, he will be very polite and "thank you for the hospitality", grab her arm and run away, often making the restaurant owner half mad. , and stopped after chasing him for several streets with no results.

She also had a very bad habit of falling asleep while eating. For the first time, she was afraid that Ace might have been poisoned by something he had eaten. She was so panicked that she even swung the waiter's collar around wildly and yelled at him. The snoring that followed and the sudden spit bubbles made her feel like a fool.

Every time he finished a Overlord meal, he was put on a restaurant's blacklist. Over time, he couldn't get into restaurants near Bian Town.

Every time Ace was chased by hotel owners, if he forgot to be polite to others after a meal, he would pull her to a stop on the way to being chased, hold her head and bow to the chasing bosses, so that When the vicious boss thought he had repented and wanted to pay back the money,

"Thank you very much for the hospitality, boss. Your food is really delicious." After saying that, she took her off guard and ran away, leaving the boss who was left in a daze. Occasionally, when she looked back, she could still see his green face and fangs. The ferocious face.

Silently apologizing to her boss in her heart, Violet held Ace's hand and ran away.

"Ace, why do you bow to the boss every time? Are you really not afraid of being sacked next time?" Violet was really curious, and she asked Ace once.

After hearing this, Ace responded like this, "Huh? I'm not provoking you. Mackinaw said that you should eat food carefully prepared by others with gratitude. After eating, say some words of thanks appropriately and the other person's mood will also be the same." Pleasure.”

"..." But you eat the King's meal!

"...I just don't know why my boss's face gets so dark every time I say that." Ace looked dumbfounded.

"...That's because you didn't give me the money!" Violet went crazy. It would be fine if the restaurant owner didn't report her to the hotel. I even cried for the boss.

"That's it," Ace suddenly realized.

"Then remember to pay me next time." Violet warned.

"No, pirates don't get paid." Ace said matter-of-factly. “Let’s try somewhere else next time!”

Violet nodded helplessly, mentally prepared to go out with money next time. She was really afraid that if Ace Overlord ate too much, he would be beaten up with a sack and thrown in a remote place. Dispose of it.

Although there might not be anyone nearby who could beat him, she still had to be prepared.
