[One Piece] Yesterday, Present and Past

【Ace, Luffy.You were not injured in the fire, were you? 】

A dark top hat with goggles was placed beside the desk.The little boy with yellow hair is holding his chin, smiling and writing down lines seriously.

[Although I am worried, I believe you are all right. 】

They will definitely put their hands on their hips and raise their chins: "Of course! I am very strong!"

And what would you say?He will definitely ignore Ace, and wink at the straw hat kid: "Hey Luffy, I don't know who hasn't won a single battle~"

"Bastard! I will definitely be better than you when I am 10 years old!"

"We were 13 years old at that time!"

[I'm so sorry for taking the lead.

By the time you read this letter, I will already be at sea. 】

Remember Ace, what I told you that night at our secret base.

The moonlight was bright, the two of us were leaning against the fence, and behind us Luffy, who was already asleep, was talking.

"Children of nobles can only be officially called nobles after they reach the age of 18." The distant sea is shimmering, and the sea breeze becomes very cool after being filtered by the forest, "...so I will go to sea when I am 17 years old!"

I see that there is affirmation and determination in your eyes.

But now...

[A lot of things have happened, I decided to go to sea before you. 】

But don't envy me too much.

【Destination... is somewhere other than this country. 】

After writing this, the little boy stopped writing and let out a sigh of relief.

Where will my future self be?

Maybe it will be an island full of delicious ramen, and you can enjoy the noodles hanging from the branches just by hugging a tree; maybe it will be an island in the sky, where the sea is actually soft clouds; The adventurous dungeon maze, every time you pass through a turning point, there will be little squirrels holding "good" and "bad" signs...

The little boy laughed out loud as he thought about it, no matter where he was, he must be in the sea of ​​freedom!

【I will become stronger there and become a pirate!

Become a freer pirate than anyone else!

At that time, the three of us brothers will see you again. 】

I don't know what you'll be like by then.

Does Luffy still cry?Ace must have gotten better.

Then I have to work hard!

[One day, we will meet again on this free and vast sea! 】

No matter how the future changes, I will always believe in this!

[Sister Anna must be worried now, after all, I left without saying goodbye. 】

As if thinking of something, the little boy with yellow hair frowned slightly and bit the pen holder.

[Thanks to such a long time of care, but in the end I failed to repay anything. 】

During the rainstorm, the small wooden house is a haven of peace. When you go there when you are hungry, you will always find hot meat. When you are sad, Anna's embrace is always warm and soft.

【She is a very gentle person.

But I always feel that Sister Anna has been very sad all the time. 】

She sometimes stares blankly into the distance in a daze.Even with a smile on his face, he was at a loss.

and so…

【Ace, Luffy!Although I'm gone,

But take my share too,

Don't make her look like that again. 】

Miss Anna...should be happy all the time.

[And Ace, who is the big brother between you and me?

Two older brothers and one younger brother.It's weird though,

But this bond is my treasure. 】

We once ate the Bawang meal together, and Qiqi made a face for the restaurant owner who chased him out in a panic; we once faced the king of the middle forest, the big stupid bear with scars on his eyes; I have quarreled with each other because of my life experience, and I don't care about anyone when I sleep...

I cherish this friendship very much.

【Although Lu Fei is still very timid, he is also a crybaby.

But he is our brother.Please take care of him. 】

【Saab】

The teenager put the letter in an envelope, sealed it, and tied it firmly to the delivery bird's leg.

White birds fluttered.

The hat on the desk is gone, and the door of the room is half open.

A pure white tail feather fluttered down on the desk.

In the year 1510 of the Haiyuan calendar, the East China Sea, the Kingdom of Goa.

On this day when the nobles of the world, the Celestial Dragons, came to inspect this place.

There was a boy who started his unknown journey.

"I am the son of a nobleman.

Neither orphaned nor raised in GREYTERMINAL.

The reason I ran away from home...

Because, what those guys like is someone who can keep their property and status...

instead of me.

If I cannot marry a woman from the royal family, then I will be a burden in that family.

It's rude of you to say that, but even if I have parents, I'm alone!

This town is worse than GREYTERMINAL, it stinks of human corruption.

If I stay here, I cannot be free.

Ace, Luffy!We must go to sea!Get out of the country...enjoy your freedom!

Go see this vast world! "

The author has something to say: Before writing this article, the manga saw Sabo eat the yaki fruit.

Then it was very uncomfortable.Although I like Sabo very much, I don't want to see him use Nissan's moves.

I think Fire Fist can only belong to Ace alone.

But when I wrote this article while looking at the childhood memories of the three brothers, I slowly understood something.

They are inheriting something from each other.

Whether it is the agreement to go to sea at the age of 17, or the change of owner of the burning fruit.

...all to live freely at sea.
