One Piece: I Want to Sign

I once saw her in a dream. We just looked at each other and smiled, then turned around and drifted away.

Daniel clutched his chest, where blood was gushing out.

He looked at the person in front of him and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

"You must want to ask me why I betrayed you."

The beautiful woman with a bloodless face and a pregnant belly slowly put Mucang down and spoke with contempt and disdain in her voice.

"Because I am a spy for the government."

"We have wanted to get rid of you for a long time, but because of your hard work and achievements, we let you go and sent me to monitor you, just in case."

"Who would have thought that you would be so dishonest that you would do such a thing!"

The man who walked out from behind Catherine was none other than the messy-haired ship's doctor, Asher. At this moment, he changed his decadent demeanor and his eyes were sharp, like a sharp knife thrust into Daniel's body.

"what did I do?!"

Daniel shouted.

"This is evidence of your collusion with pirates."

A stack of paper was thrown in front of Daniel by Asher.

He looked down and saw a photo of him and Roger drinking and eating meat together after defeating the pirates who caused trouble many years ago when he was still in the navy.

It stands to reason that such a careful person like him would not leave such a clue, but Roger and he hit it off immediately, and they were so happy chatting that day that they didn't pay attention to this kind of thing.

But just a photo is not enough to convict someone.

There must be a deeper reason.

Even though he knew this, he said:

"Hahahahaha, it turns out to be Roger!"

"Brother Roger, you have done me a lot of harm!"

After that, he used up the last of his strength to give the person who was watching them in the dark a fingertip.

One wooden warehouse was killed.

"Asheer, it's up to you, Catherine."

Catherine rushed over to Daniel.

"Arlene, your disguise should be more refined next time...ahem...otherwise, you won't be able to deceive [Ghost Judge], a cunning old fox...ahem..."

"Daniel!"

Yes, it's all a disguise.

It's been a scam from the start.

From the very beginning, it was decided that their fate would eventually lead to tragedy.

A bald man appeared on the island where An and the others were resting, and wanted to capture An.

Ed fights him, but is attacked by the fruit's ability, and one of his arms is removed.

That is a strange ability that seems to be able to reverse space.

An tried to use the Moon Step to escape, but was attacked from behind by a big man and was about to be thrown to the bottom of the sea in a blink of an eye.

Ruth rushed forward with all her strength, knocking the big man staggering.

Just as he was about to escape, he was caught by the big man.

Ann is coming to save her.

"Don't! Go!"

Ruth shouted, unable to stop her friend.

An used countless finger guns, but they were all reversed by the man's fruit power.

The big man seemed determined to deal with Ruth. No matter how Ann hit him, he used his abilities to avoid it.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

Ruth was thrown into the sea with her head held down.

"No! No! She is most afraid of water! Ruth!"

"What did you say her name was?"

The big man was suddenly stunned.

"Ruth!"

Ann was about to jump into the sea to save her friend, but the big man lifted her up.

"Let me ask you, what is her name!"

The big man roared.

"Let go of me, I'm going to save her!"

The bald man raised his other fist and was about to hit An.

"install!!!"

Ed got up from the ground and pushed the big man into the water with his whole body.

When he casually threw away the Ed hanging on his body and looked around, there was no trace of An.

An was exhausted and fled that place.

She knew she was a deserter, a shameful trash who couldn't even save her friends.

But she's really not strong enough.

Become stronger! Become stronger! ! Become stronger! ! !

This was the first time An had such a strong idea of ​​becoming stronger.

She was limping along the beach and suddenly fell forward.

Sand stuck to her mouth and she finally exploded.

"Wow wow wow...Ruth...Ed...everyone..."

Her helpless cry was filled with anger and sadness.

She can't do anything.

【You must become strong to protect the ones you love. 】

She was crying, and suddenly thought of this, stood up, patted the sand on her body, and wanted to continue walking forward.

But her foot hit the thing that tripped her just now, and she lowered her head to look.

Pink and yellow with spiral patterns on it - cloned fruit!

She hurriedly dug out the fruit and stuffed it in one gulp without hesitation.

She felt extremely uncomfortable, yet full of strength.

An Zai didn't stop and slowly walked forward.

She was going to set up a tombstone for Ruth and everyone else.

"Eh? What are you talking about? My sister fell into the water? Didn't I ask you to protect her and kill all the other irrelevant people?"

The handsome boy with pink hair frowned and said with some surprise.

"...Young Master...Yes, yes...I don't have a protector...protect me...good lady..."

The bald man who looked ferocious just now was trembling at the young man's feet. He seemed to have thought of something, so he said loudly with a brave expression on his face:

"I misidentified the eldest lady, protected another little girl, and pushed the eldest lady into the sea!"

The handsome young man's eyes darkened and he said:

"Really? My sister's death must be very painful this time. You know, we are most afraid of water..."

The young man was silent for a while and then said:

"Since you failed to protect your sister, there is no need to live."

The bald man was stunned for a moment, then kowtowed three times on the ground and begged the young man:

"Please let my wife and children go! Amu is still young, and Xiaohua is still young... Please!"

The young man clicked his tongue and was about to say something when suddenly there was a burst of thunder in the sky and rain began to fall sparsely. The young man was stunned and waved his hand impatiently:

"Forget it, that's it."

The bald head suddenly beamed with joy, but before he had time to be happy, the young man's ghost-like voice continued:

"However, you have to accompany this city to be destroyed together. If you live a second longer or less, your wife and children will be dead~"

The young man seemed to be gloating about his misfortune, and walked away without waiting for the bald head to speak.

Under the dim sky mixed with sparse drizzle, the boy with pink hair stood at the port of Freifans and said softly:

"My sister is really not good at all. Now, how many years will it take to reset? I have to look for my sister for a long time. It is obviously very difficult to find my sister this time."

"Don't keep me waiting too long~my dear sister~sister~

——Portgas D. Ruth. "

My name is An, the child of the Pirate King.

I was once a flower in a greenhouse, but I experienced an inhumane parting.

I won't trust anyone anymore.

Please don't worry, I will live well...

Take your share and live well together.

This article is dedicated to my dear friend——Ruth,

May she be well in heaven.

The letter written on yellowed parchment lay quietly next to the tombstone.

The girl with pink hair is staring at the tombstone.

"My dear friend, Ruth's Tomb...what does this mean?"

"Well, it was the tombstone erected by her friends after this person died."

The old man with a thick reddish-brown beard replied casually.

"By the way, didn't you want me to give myself a name?"

"Just call her Ruth."

The girl pointed to the crooked name on the tombstone and said.

"Well, although I won't interfere with your decision, isn't it bad to call a dead person by his name?"

"What's the point? There are tens of thousands of people named Ruth in the world, but all of them are dead?"

"Oh, that's right."

The uncle scratched his head and said.

"Then I'll give you your last name, Portcas Ruth."

The girl decided so.

On her hand, a bracelet engraved with a peacock pattern shined silver in the sunlight.
