"Knock knock."

Ace knocked on the door of the captain's room on the Moby Dick ship, "Ou Yaji..." Then he was stunned, "Xiao Xuehua, you are here too."

At this time, Dawi was wearing green dinosaur pajamas, holding a photo album in her hand, leaning on White Beard's arm, and eating grapes from the table beside the bed with her other hand. She looked very relaxed and natural. No matter how many times he had seen her, Ace would still be shocked by the contrast between Dawi on the Moby Dick and when she was outside.

Until now, Ace still remembers the sense of oppression that Davi showed on the island. He had only seen that kind of oppression on the old man when he was angry.

But looking at Xiao Xuehua's expression, it seems like the captain's room is similar to her room.

"What's wrong, Ace." Whitebeard leaned on the boat, crossed his legs comfortably, and held a bottle of wine in one hand. Hearing this, Davi also cast his gaze over.

Aiston paused. If it was Xiao Xuehua, it wouldn't matter if she knew.

"I have something...important to say to Ou Yaji..." Ace walked over and sat at the stern of Whitebeard's ship, with a gloomy expression on his face that was different from usual.

"Just say whatever you want to say." Whitebeard took a sip of wine and looked at Ace, his eyes as calm as ever.

【……】

"So...that's it, I'm actually the son of the Pirate King Roger..." After he finished speaking, Ace lowered his head, and his lonely expression was hidden in the shadows.

The only light in the dim room was the flickering flame of the oil lamp.

"Gulala, so that's how it is." To Ace's surprise, Whitebeard just snorted, then raised his head and took a sip of wine, "Your personality is completely different from Roger's."

"Yeah, I joked with Shanks before that you might be his son." Devi also sighed, "I didn't expect it to be true. If that guy knew, he would be very surprised."

"..." As if he didn't expect this reaction, Ace was stunned for a moment, then said: "Why don't you chase me away... After all, you were once enemies."

"You said there was something important, is this it? I thought it was some big deal that made you so indecisive." Obviously, Whitebeard didn't care.

"Is it really okay? I am...that man's child." Ace was a little bit unbelievable. Could he accept it so easily?

"So what?" Davey raised an eyebrow, "My father still has a white beard."

"I'm not saying this for comparison purposes..." Ace seemed a little speechless, but... Whitebeard and Devi's attitude still made him feel relieved.

Fortunately...he had thought it would be the same as usual.

"The captain of the ship only cares about ability. This kind of thing is completely unimportant, and..."

"No matter who they are..." Whitebeard's face softened a little: "They are all children of the sea."

Ace was completely stunned where he was, staring at Whitebeard blankly, unable to speak for a long time.

The problem that has troubled him for more than ten years is nothing more than this in the eyes of this man. Is this the most broad-minded man in the world?

If it were him, if he became the Pirate King, there would be no abuse and curses from the world at all.

"Okay, if it's just this kind of thing, it doesn't matter at all. Go out, I'm going to sleep." White Beard waved his hand and said to the two of them.

"Drink less before going to bed, Ou Yaji. The bubbles can't keep up with what you drink." Dai Wei stood up and put the photo album back to its place, and gave the helpless instruction. The only response she got was White Beard's deafening snoring.

She sighed and said, "Let's go, Ace." Then she grabbed Ace, who was still in a daze, and headed towards the deck.

"Ah? Isn't your room across the street?" Ace let himself be pulled by Devi, but still asked.

"Isn't it okay to invite you to watch the stars?" Pulling Ace to the deck, Dawi let go of his hand, jumped lightly, and sat on the railing.

Indeed, the stars tonight are worth appreciating, like a Milky Way running directly through the night sky. Although it is late at night, the moonlight illuminates every corner of the sea.

Looking at Ace who was obviously still confused, Devi chuckled, opened her arms and gestured to Ace.

After a moment's pause, Ace didn't quite understand what Devi meant.

"Come here." Davey urged, "I'm being your psychiatrist for free."

"What psychiatrist? I don't have any mental illness." Ace complained, but still walked obediently in front of Dawi and looked up at the girl sitting on the railing.

She put her arms around Ace and held him in her arms. The girl's unique rose scent surrounded Ace. Her body was stiff and Ace didn't know how to react for a moment.

Because she was sitting on the railing, Davi, who was originally shorter than Ace, was now a head taller than Ace. Ace buried his head in the girl's shoulders and neck. Perhaps because of the quiet night, Davi's voice seemed a little ethereal.

"Ace..." Devi's hand gently stroked Ace's hair: "I love you, Ou Yaji loves you, Marco and the others love you too, you are our family."

"You are already an indispensable part of us. You don't need to question the reason for your existence until you find the meaning of living in this world."

"Just live for us, okay?"

Although the distance was closer than in the afternoon, Ace's emotions did not become less excited, and he felt very warm.

Ace suddenly felt that it would be nice if time could stay at this moment forever. This feeling that someone wants me to live in this world...

Dawi was still gently stroking Ace's hair, with a rare tenderness on her face. She treated Ace like a "brother" to everyone on the ship. Although Ace was a few months older than her, mentally, Dawi always treated him as a child and a younger brother.

Hmm...what is this...is this an outburst of maternal instinct? Poor Ace who doesn't understand the meaning of his life.

Amused by her own thoughts, Davi's chuckle broke the silence at the moment and also called back the dazed Ace. After hesitating for a moment, Ace chose to follow his inner thoughts, raised his hands to hug Davi back, and quietly enjoyed the warmth of the moment.

After a long while, he spoke in a muffled voice: "Hmm..."

In the moonlight, the girl's hair fluttered in the sea breeze, and Ace's head was buried in the collar of the little dinosaur's pajamas.

The picture looked very pleasing to the eyes, but no one came to appreciate it at the moment.

I couldn't help but rub my face against it. This pajamas is so soft.

But why is it made in the shape of a little dinosaur?

Ace wondered.
