[Pirate] My Captain

After entering the cave, the originally bright road gradually darkened.I took out a flashlight from my backpack to illuminate the road ahead, and proceeded cautiously.

Strangely, along the way, I didn't encounter any strange creatures to hinder my progress, nor did I encounter any strange traps. It was simply different from what I said.

Isn't this really a trial, just for sightseeing?I looked at the stalactites of various colors hanging upside down above the cave, the sound of gurgling water passed by my ears, and the humid air did not have the fishy smell of the sea, it was soft like a breath that heralds the coming of spring.

Just walking all the way to the end of the cave, there is a green lake below, but this lake is not transparent at all, it looks like an impermeable emerald.At the end of the road is a cliff, above the cliff is a transparent hole, you can feel the wind blowing from above.And the uneven cliff walls seem to be prepared for people to climb.

But I will not climb, I would rather go back the same way, although it will take a long time.

But now the focus is on how the so-called crocodile tears come from. I haven't found any crocodiles.In other words, there are no crocodiles here at all.Even if it is Phoenix, I think it is more credible at the moment. This place is like a relic left after a volcanic eruption. Generally speaking, it is not surprising that a Phoenix reborn from the ashes will live here.

I was looking around, and suddenly felt like some force pushed me from behind.

Just like that, I stepped on the air, and I fell into the emerald-like lake.Surprisingly, I didn't feel the force pushing me maliciously, and I just fell into the water.

Without the imaginary pain of falling from a high place to the water, I was like falling into a ball of soft cotton.But troubles followed. The water here is different from what I imagined. Although I can swim, I can't use my strength at all, and I keep falling into the depths.

I tried my best to row upwards, finally took a breath, and then slowly sank down.In the end, I don't know how long I struggled, but when I lost consciousness and opened my eyes again, I found that I was back at home in Rogge Town.

Jumping out of bed and opening the window, I saw a familiar scene.

The bullied dog, the gentle and smiling mother, and the noisy street.

Everything is so familiar that it is a little far away, and it is so far away that it is a little strange.

"Oh, Abel, are you awake?" Mom came upstairs and opened the door of my room casually, "Come over to eat soon. The door was not closed when I slept last night. It's not good."

I stared at her blankly, then nodded subconsciously: "Okay, I'll come right away."

Mom showed a smile: "Come here quickly, or it will be cold."

After looking at the pajamas on my body, I immediately changed into a dress, then tidied my hair carelessly and hurried downstairs.Something is stirring in my memory, reminding me and warning me, but I can't remember what is going on with this tender and sad feeling.

"Abel, I've worked hard for you these days." My mother said and picked up a chicken leg for me, "Eat more, you will grow taller when you are full."

I nodded: "Mom, why don't you eat?"

Mom just smiled and didn't answer.

I watched her smile, and the uneasiness in my heart slowly spread.

There is no doubt that I belong here.Familiar home, familiar neighbors, familiar relatives, even my mother's craftsmanship is still the same as before.But there is another thing in my heart that has been stubbornly reminding me to leave this somewhat hypocritical world.

Why do you say that this world is hypocritical?Obviously this is the real place, isn't it?I grew up here, this is my past, it's real, isn't it?

But since it is the past, it should have passed. Where am I now, and where will I be in the future?

I lay in bed with a jumble of thoughts in my head.Isn't this a dream come true?I closed my eyes amusedly, but some unexpected pictures appeared unexpectedly and clearly before my eyes.

The mother who was lying on the bed smiling and saying these things, and the little me who kept crying beside me.

There is also the swift wind blade that was finally obtained. It arrived in time, but it did not change the ending.

And Ace's bright smiling face, starting from chasing him in Rogue Town, whether you go to Flower Island, meet the redhead, challenge Whitebeard, Wano Country, or Marineford Square Well...he's always there for me and calls me "Love".One time at a time, no matter how correct it is, it will not change.

I subconsciously stretched out my hand to catch the flame, but when the screen turned, a different scene appeared.

If I didn't save Sarge at that time, then Ace would chase Blackbeard all the way to an island, he would be defeated by Blackbeard, and then his and Luffy's positions would be reversed.The only difference is that he probably died on the battlefield protecting Luffy, and now he is still alive and well.

However, just thinking of that possibility made my heart feel like it was going to stop.Tears couldn't help but flow out, as if I discovered the fragility of life and how lucky I am now.

Yes, how lucky, at that time, to make the right move to avoid such an ending.

Want to see him, want to see him now.I want to stay by his side and never leave for a second.If you want to become stronger, you can protect his safety from all forces.

Such thoughts strongly made my heart beat more violently.

I clutched my chest and turned over on the bed.

Loving someone is really a very happy thing.

You can experience so much unspeakable pain and loss in life, and you can also have the obsession to die for something.This kind of life is what I want to have, the life I have been pursuing.

In other words, I've been chasing Ace.

Mom's voice suddenly rang in my ears: "I'm very happy, Abel, I'm really happy."

I opened my teary eyes in some surprise, the mother in my vision was not clear, she took my hand and led me to her room.In her room, she was lying on the bed with her eyes closed and the corners of her lips slightly raised.It was still as gentle and beautiful as usual, but that face lacked a bit of vitality.

And "I" was crying over there.

I looked at the translucent hand holding my wrist beside me, and suddenly felt choked up.Yes, I remember, this is what happened the day my mother died.She came out of the hospital and cooked me a good meal, we talked for a while, I thought with joy that she was cured, and then I saw my mother in bed who had stopped breathing.

In the end, I didn't even get a chance to say "Goodbye, I love you" properly.

"I'm very happy, Abel." Mom lightly patted me on the shoulder from behind, "You finally have someone you want to risk your life to protect, this is the basis of a qualified guardian. Abel, You are the most potential guardian I have ever seen, and mother believes that you will be able to protect what you want to protect."

"What do you mean?" I turned my head to look at my mother's soul, and when I opened my mouth, I realized that my throat hurt badly.Tears flowed to my lips, and my face was full of tears. I couldn't help but raised my hand and wiped my face with my sleeve, but I still couldn't stop the tears.

Mom touched my head tenderly, and she led me across the roof, and we sat down together on the top floor.The streets of Rogge Town were still filled with pirates and merchants as always, and the puppy was also chased by the children and ran around.The wind is melancholy, and the sky is blue and the ground is a little empty.

"It's a happy thing, Abel. It's a happy thing that you have someone you like. Why are you crying? Why are you crying for the past that has passed so many years?"

"Because, that's you, mother... It has nothing to do with time. No matter how many years pass, as long as I think of my mother dying quietly beside me, I will be sad." In front of this person, no matter how vulnerable I am, I can show it unscrupulously.

Mom laughed out loud: "But Mom hopes that one day you can also remember me with a smile, just like before, waiting for me at the door, and calling me 'Mom' with a smile."

I looked at her, a little overwhelmed for a while.

Instead, my mother patted me on the back: "But you can't stay here, Abel, this is not where you should live. You should live in a better world, a world with him."

"Does mom know?" I looked at my mother in surprise, unable to hide my surprise.

Mom smiled and nodded: "I know, he is a very gentle person. Although he is a bit awkward, he is much more frank than Abel. He is very handsome. Abel's level of appreciation makes my mother very satisfied."

"... Now is not the time to talk about this?" I looked at my mother weakly, although my nose was still sore, but my mood was not as heavy as before.

"Yeah, you should go back." Mom said.

I looked at her in surprise, and then found that my body was gradually becoming transparent, and I couldn't help shouting: "Can I see you again, Mom?"

"..." Mom just smiled, she didn't answer me.She waved her hand, and that was the last thing I saw.

I struggled to get up from the pool, and just when I came out, I felt a wooden stick hit my head hard.The pain was so bad that I almost fell down again.After choking on two mouthfuls of water, I finally regained consciousness and stabilized my body with hands and feet.Then I saw an old woman sitting on a wooden box floating in the sky with tears streaming down her face and holding a magic wand. I swam to the shore and asked her outrageously, "Why did you hit me?!"

"It was you who hit you! Who made you mother and daughter so touching!" The old woman took out a handkerchief from her pocket and blew her nose hard, and followed me to the shore.

I climbed ashore and began wringing the water from my clothes with difficulty.I glanced at her with some displeasure——I swear my attitude is good enough. If other people were hit on the head and dizzy by an inexplicable old lady who didn't know anyone when they were in a complicated mood, no one would No longer willing to talk to her, I just asked a little sullenly: "Who are you?"

The old woman wiped her tears, and then said arrogantly: "I am a goblin, a goblin who guards Abel's group, and lives here for generations to be tested by the new Abel."

I almost threw someone from the clothes on her face, but this is still a fairy, and the snake spirit is not bad.But I held back and just looked at her: "Oh."

"You don't believe it, do you? How can you be so calm? Why are all the Abels so calm when they see me? Are you really not surprised? Don't you wonder why I am here?" The old woman waved her arms dissatisfied asked.

I lowered my head and continued to twist my pants: "...Then are you going to give me a trial?"

"You have passed the test, congratulations." The old woman replied naturally.

I paused, and had no choice but to continue unscrewing my right trousers: "..." Speaking of which, what happened to this trial?did i do somethingDidn't I just get pushed off a cliff and have a dream?Then when he woke up, he was hit on the head by an old woman, what is it all about!

"Abel has never lacked strength, but only a strong will can control powerful power, so this test is a test of the soul, and you passed it." The old woman's tone suddenly became serious, and I couldn't help raising my head and staring blankly she.

I have it too, a strong will?

The old lady sat on the box and circled me: "All Abels can foresee the future, you must make good use of this ability, because it will change your future, and it will also change the world."

Having said that, I remembered what I saw in the dream, interrupted the old lady slightly, and told her another ending related to Ace.The old woman's face became more serious: "This is what I call good use, you can foresee the future related to that chef, and your appearance happened to save him, and also saved Ace. If you stand idly by, Ace will It is very likely to die. But at the same time, if you interfere too much, you may also end up being killed by Blackbeard. Naturally, it is not allowed to interfere with the existence of Abel who is too much in the future. When should we change and how to change , When you should stand by and when you should guide things to become as you foresee, you need to think about it.”

I can only nod.

Seeing this, the old woman continued: "Abel is the guardian after all. Only when there is something that Abel wants to protect with his life, Abel will truly awaken. The awakened Abel will pass the trial here to unlock the power and now that you have completed the trial, go away. Remember, don’t mention this to your daughter.”

"Wait, my mother-in-law said that I need to get crocodile tears to complete the trial..."

Before I could finish my sentence, I was hit hard on the head again, and the old lady gave me a blank look: "I am called Crocodile, and I have been tossed and cried by you just now. This is the holy land of Abel's family, Abel's Power is forbidden, so you can't feel the unprecedented power in your body."

I looked at the exits on both sides and walked towards the stairs.

The old woman knocked down again with a staff, but luckily I retreated in time, only a few hairs were cut off from my back.She stared at me resentfully, pointing to the cliff over there: "Climb up here for my old lady!"

"Why?!" I looked at her suspiciously.

"No reason!" the old woman said aggressively.

Although I didn't know, I was a little helpless, but I had no choice but to start climbing the cliff.I would have brought Ace if I had known, it would have been much quicker to have him up there with my whip and pull me up.When I was panting and climbing up, the empty voice of the old woman echoed in the entire enclosed space:

"Abel, you must remember that only a strong will can control a strong force. You are the most talented Abel I have ever seen. You must make your heart stronger."

I turned around, but to my surprise, the old woman who claimed to be a goblin had disappeared.

Either way, I'm done with the trials.Drilling out of the hole, I found that the scenery around here is a bit familiar.Before I could sort out my confused thoughts, Ace's voice appeared behind me: "Love! You're back!"

As soon as I turned around, I saw Ace running towards me with a smile on his face.

What's even more frightening is that the Straw Hat ran towards Ace's back at an uncontrollable speed——
