Silver Theorem

Ace received the summons about a day ago.

He said it was a very important matter, and he had to rush back even if he was on a mission, but... he didn't say what it was...

As a result, Ace almost burned his fire-powered ship before finally boarding the Moby Dick within the time limit.

Since it's an important matter, why didn't you say it sooner...

Ace complained, but no one on board seemed to have the time to listen to him.

Looking at the busy companions, Ace scratched his head in confusion: "What are you doing? Is there a banquet?"

"Ah, Ace, get out of the way!"

An anxious voice came from behind.

"I'm very sorry!" After bowing politely, Ace trotted after his partner holding a pile of chairs:

"Well, what the hell is this doing? Why did you call everyone back?"

"Ah? You don't know?... Well, you're a newcomer, so there's nothing you can do about it... No, that's not the reason..."

Although the line of sight is completely blocked by the chair, the crew member still avoids various obstacles with ease, and the speed does not decrease at all.

"XX, who is in charge of delivering the message, messed up again... Well, in fact, today is Mia-chan's birthday, you have to remember this date well~"

"Mia? Who is it..."

Ace searched his guts to make sure he didn't remember the name, but it seems that he was often said to have a bad memory since he was a child, or maybe he only heard it once or twice and then forgot, but anyway, it is worth calling a big The return of some captain-level characters made the entire crew on the Moby Dick so exhausting, probably a very important person...

"Oh, I don't have time to tell you, you can go to Dad! ... There are not enough plates! Plates!"

After leaving this sentence, the crew continued to devote themselves to the preparations for the banquet.

"Well, let me help too..."

Ace thought to himself, who Mia is, we will know later, so let's do what we can do first.

"No, no, you can go find Dad!"

"……Oh……"

Although he was reluctant, and couldn't think of any reason to refute, Ace obediently went to find Whitebeard.

Whitebeard sat in his old position on the deck, seeming to be giving instructions on the arrangement of the banquet.

"Dad, I'm back!"

"Oh, Ace~~"

Whitebeard showed a big smile, and he always felt that he was very happy today, but Ace seemed to sense a little bit of weirdness from this smile...

"Father, that Mia..."

Before Ace finished speaking, a strange female voice came from behind Whitebeard:

"I said no!"

Accompanied by the voice, the silver-haired girl in a splendid attire jumped into Ace's eyes.

The girl is wearing a black floor-length pleated dress, which is decorated with light pink or lavender gauze just right, and the fluffy and elegant silver hair is embellished with exquisitely carved lake blue hair accessories. The overall temperament is luxurious but still Lively.

Ace stared blankly at the beautiful girl whom he had never met before. For a moment, he thought it was a legendary elf who came to the world.

The girl's bright golden eyes were sullen: "Wearing this kind of clothes...is too embarrassing!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The beautiful head nurse also came out with a cross on her head: "This is the only dress in the world made by a famous designer in New World..."

"Who asked you to do this kind of thing! And! This is so out of my style!"

In Ace's eyes, the girl seemed to have a fiery personality under her sweet appearance... At this moment, White Beard suddenly intervened:

"Oh~ As expected of my daughter..."

"Eh?" It was Ace who made the voice.

"Don't talk, Dad!" The girl was not polite.

"Huh?" It was still Ace.

"Who cares about your style." Nina flicked the cigarette ash nonchalantly: "Don't tell me you want to wear that idiot maid outfit."

"What's wrong with that, I look cute~"

"Idiot, is that something worthy of the table?"

"I won't tell you, this is Hong Guoguo's generation gap..."

The "mother and daughter" over there are still arguing, but here Ace hastily covered his nose, and the words "maid's outfit" kept circling in his mind...

"YO! Mia~ When did you come back?"

With a familiar voice, Ace turned his head, and it turned out to be Marco, the captain of the first team, followed by Joss, the captain of the third team.It turns out that this girl is...

And the two of them seemed to completely ignore Ace, and went straight to Mia... In fact, Ace felt that he had been ignored for a long time since just now...

"Ah, the 'Idiot Fighting Trio' is here."

It seems that someone said so.

Mia immediately turned bright when she saw the two captains:

"Brother Joss~ Marco~ I just arrived too~"

Ace noticed that Marco's face twitched just now...

Marco: "That's not okay, everyone is here to celebrate your birthday with you today, how can the protagonist make everyone wait?"

Joss: "And, more importantly...keep us waiting for a long time..."

Joss rubbed his fist eagerly... What's the situation? ! ... Ace is even more confused.

"Ah...that's really sorry..." The girl also started to move her knuckles: "Did you all become stronger when I was away?"

"That's what we wanted to ask!"

Not to be outdone by the two captains, the three of them immediately took a stance, seeing that the battle was about to start...

Joss: "Diamond Star Fist—"

Marco: "Phoenix Wings -"

Girl: "Galaxy Starburst—"

Boom!Boom!Boom!

The idiot fighting trio were all punched to the ground.

"Don't stop, you bastards!"

The wine-red haired "devil head" showed her power, and the world became quiet...

Joss and Marco were still lying on the ground, and the silver-haired girl jumped up: "It hurts, old woman!"

Boom!

one more time.

"It's so noisy, idiot, you beat your sister while wearing the dress that my old lady managed to get you!?"

……

Ace didn't know what to say anymore.

A certain two captains retreated first due to Nina's lust. At this time, the silver-haired girl seemed to have finally discovered the existence of Ace:

"Ah, you are..."

Ace coughed twice, just as he was about to make a formal self-introduction.It seems that a certain father who had been waiting for a long time seized the opportunity to speak:

"Mia, he is our newly appointed captain of the second squad, Ace! Ace, this is my cutest daughter, the protagonist of today's banquet—Mia!"

"Please advise..."

As soon as Ace finished saying this, White Beard patted him on the back abruptly. He couldn't help but take a step forward, and when he looked up, he happened to see Mia looking at him with interest with a pair of bright golden pupils.

"It turns out that you are Portgas? D? Ace. I have wanted to meet you for a long time. Please advise me."

"Oh."

Ace and Mia shake hands.

Mia: "Then, since I'm relatively young, shall I call you Brother Ace from now on? You can just call me Mia."

Ace nodded awkwardly.

Mia: "Okay, then...ahah~~"

Nina grabbed Mia's ears mercilessly, and began to drag her towards the cabin:

"Okay, okay, there will be plenty of time to chat later, you still have a lot of things to do... Ace too, don't just stand there, go help!"

"Oh……"

Ace is sweating furiously...

"I don't want to put on makeup~~" Mia, who was being dragged, was still making a final resistance, but was punched in the head again.Then Nina grabbed her collar and leaned close to her ear:

"Don't be silly, don't you usually put more things on your face when you change your face?"

"That one is different!"

"Stop talking nonsense, multi-personality cross-dressing control!"

Nina stopped talking to her and continued to drag people.

"How is it? Isn't my daughter cute?"

Ace, who had been watching Nina and Mia, was awakened by a voice from above his head.

"Um……"

Ace answered honestly, and the beautiful face of the girl still appeared in front of his eyes.

"Do you like it?"

"Um……"

This time it was a little absent-minded.He didn't react until White Beard patted him on the shoulder happily. Then, White Beard suddenly laughed boldly:

"Okay! I'll announce your marriage to Mia at the birthday party later!"

"I don't allow it!!"

Before Ace realized what happened, the head nurse's flying kick hit Whitebeard's face... Then, she retracted her legs gracefully and landed:

"I have long seen that you are plotting something wrong! Really, you idiots can't make people worry at all!"

"How can this be said to be a conspiracy..."

White Beard rubbed his face innocently.

Nina: "No matter how good Ace is, it depends on what the two children want!"

White Beard: "But Ace himself said that he likes it just now..."

Ace: "No, that, I..."

Nina: "Then Mia's meaning is not important?"

White Beard: "But, I really think this is a good thing... Look at how well they match..."

Nina: "With your sister!"

……

……

Ace felt neglected again... At the same time, he discovered that the Whitebeard Pirates still had a lot of things he didn't understand...

(A certain cat messed in: So, the source of someone's sister-style swearing and flying kicks...)

The lights on the Moby Dick were lit at the same time as the last rays of the setting sun disappeared.

All the pirates have already found their seats on the deck, and the pirates here are only a very small part of the Whitebeard Pirates. After all, the space is limited, and there are some who received invitations but couldn't make it back. Mia doesn't want to make it too public, although it is already very public... But even so, after the banquet, there are still many people who don't know Mia in the pirate group.

"Little ones, let's have a carnival!"

After the captain gave such an order, thunderous cheers erupted from the crowd.

"Then..." The white beard who was already holding a huge wine glass full of wine in one hand continued: "Let me introduce to you again, because of the long-term mission, I am afraid that some of you still don't know much about it, okay, Come out."

Following his words, the silver-haired girl in full attire slowly walked out of the cabin, wearing pure and light makeup, the light gauze entwined in the air, and the exquisite decorations in her hair trembled slightly, making a crisp sound... The slightest sound could be heard, because the moment Mia stepped out of the cabin, the whole ship fell into silence.

Everyone present was stunned.

How narrow is the deck of the Moby Dick, and only this star-studded dome can barely serve as her stage.

It's the girl who makes people think like this... Ace is deeply aware of this at this moment.

"This is my daughter who just turned 15 today - Mia!"

Whitebeard said.

Mia smiled gracefully: "Good evening, everyone."

In an instant, everyone was boiling.

"Long time no see, Mia-chan!"

"Happy birthday! Mia sauce!"

"Mia-chan is so beautiful tonight~"

……

The pirates immediately surrounded Mia.

Nina was still very calm: "Line up, line up, put the gifts in the box over there..."

Whitebeard's big hand overcame all difficulties to touch Mia's head:

"Happy birthday, Mia~ This is a gift from me."

After finishing speaking, he handed over a small box that was only half the size of his finger very carefully.

"Thank you~ Dad~"

Mia took it respectfully and held it in her palm. It was a beautifully crafted velvet jewelry box.Mia opened it, and a pair of earrings lay quietly in the box, surrounded by silver rims, and violet gems shining brightly.

"What a nice view……"

Mia couldn't help but exclaim.

"As long as you like it."

Whitebeard narrowed his eyes with a smile.

"But, Dad... I don't have pierced ears..."

Whitebeard instantly petrified.

"That means she can't wear earrings... Sigh... Why didn't you discuss it with me?...Here's the gold needle (cat:...)." Nina squinted one eye and said helplessly to White Beard.

The white beard who was released from the petrified state: "I, I want to give Mia a surprise..."

"It's okay, Dad, it's fine to change this into a clip-on ear type. Thank you Dad for choosing a gift for me, I like it very much~" After Mia's words, the white beard was almost moved to tears...

———————————————————————————————————————————————— ——————————

The banquet was held again, and the pirates laughed wantonly, drinking and eating meat wantonly...

Ace fights for food with his companions without hesitation, sleeps when he is tired from eating, and continues eating when he wakes up.

After sweeping for a while, he was finally a little full. Ace took a big glass of rum and took a rest against the side of the boat.He looked around the crowd, and his eyes stayed on Mia. She seemed to get along well with all the crew members, and she always had a beautiful smile on her face that she would never tire of seeing.

"Hello~~~~~~"

Suddenly there was a voice of resentment, Ace turned his head and found Marco who had turned into a collection of resentment.

"Marco, what's wrong?"

"What's the matter... that guy, did he call you 'brother'?"

"Well, yes, isn't that what she calls everyone else..."

Marco suddenly approached, just when Ace thought he would be eaten, he floated to the side again and hit the mast with his head:

"Ah... Sure enough, there is no need to ask, for sure... Anyway, it's only me, ah... That's right, I already knew..."

Ace (Khan): "Hi..."

Unexpectedly, Marco suddenly swooped down with a phoenix and grabbed Ace's neck tightly:

"Listen, you guy, don't look at Mia like this, she became a member of the Whitebeard Pirates at the age of 4, and her qualifications are much older than yours!"

"4, 4 years old..."

Ace was pressed against his shoulders and could barely raise his head. Marco approached again:

"That's right, and, don't you kid try to bully her, that guy is not so strong... Well, after all, he has been fighting with me and Joss since he was a child!"

Who would do this... Ace thought, but, looking at Mia's petite body, I really can't imagine that she can confront two captains with strong BT.

"Uh...idiot fighting a trio?"

"Yeah...it's your size! You kid..."

Marco rubbed Ace's black hair desperately, making him beg for mercy.

Marco: "In short, everyone loves that guy very much, do you understand?"

Ace nodded.

"But..." Marco's eyes dimmed: "No, it's nothing, I just want you to know this."

With that said, let go of Ace.

Marco's sudden change made Ace a little concerned.At the same time, the crowd became noisy again.

"Mia-chan, let's sing!"

"Yes! Just sing your favorite song..."

Encouraged by everyone, the girl stood up gracefully, and the surroundings fell into silence again.

Mia exhaled lightly, and then the words turned into a melodious rhythm:

……

あと10年もう100年过ぎれば (whether 10 years or 100 years)

変わりゆくこの世界 (this world will gradually change)

亲らもうこいいないけれど (Even if we are gone by then)

守りたいものがある (I want to protect something but it still exists)

] 缲る回す恨しみと (repeated and endless hatred)

Foolish people's dispute

やがてやれゆく思いならば (Praying that it finally fades away)

この国を爱せるだろう (this country will also be full of love)

...............

..............................

Although the wine on the boat was only half opened, everyone on the boat seemed to be drunk at the moment. Because of the singing, the singer was even more elf-like.

Ace has never heard such a song, with a touch of sadness, but full of hope.However, he had heard very few songs... But for some reason, the lyrics and the melody made him feel so refreshingly beautiful.

Gathering in one place, the pirates listening to Mia's singing quietly are like a big family...

Sister... This is the first time I have such a family, it seems to feel good... Ace took a sip of wine, looked at his face reflected in the glass, and smiled slightly.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— ————————————

The lively banquet lasted until midnight, until the only sound left on the Moby Dick was snoring one after another.

Because he was drunk too much, Ace couldn't fall asleep, so he got up, stepped over his companions who were laying corpses on the deck like arhats, and wanted to find some cold water to wash his face and sober up.

Suddenly, a touch of silver came into view.

In the corner of the boat, Mia was kneeling on the ground, holding a candlestick in one hand, and groping carefully with the other. Ace walked towards her, and gradually heard her seem to be talking to herself:

"...how could...it is indeed here...why am I so careless..."

Seeing her troubled appearance, it is really impossible to let people ignore it.

"What's wrong? Mia."

Hearing the voice behind her, the girl turned her face, and the faint candlelight reflected her desperate expression.

"Brother Ace, I... the earring my father gave me... I can't find it..."

Seemingly unable to speak calmly anymore, Mia's hands were trembling slightly, and she continued:

"I just didn't want to take it out while I was walking, because I'm still not used to this skirt, and I tripped over it because of the hem of the skirt... One of the earrings got lost somewhere... It's all my fault..."

Mia lowered her head, and now she was sitting there wrapped in fine clothes, looking like an exquisite gothic doll.

"It's just an accident. It's very late now, let's look for it tomorrow."

Ace didn't think it was a big deal.

"Can't!"

Mia raised her face suddenly, Ace was stunned, her eyes were full of crystal:

"Be sure to find it... because... this is the last birthday present..."

After finishing speaking, Mia covered her face with her hands, and a slight whimper flowed from her fingers.

Ace didn't expect her to have such a side at all. He always felt that the girl in front of him always had a smile on her face, could fight with pirates, and could sing gracefully... Tears and the like didn't suit her at all.

Ace exhaled softly, squatting beside Mia:

"I see, it's very important, right? I'll help you find it too."

After finishing speaking, a group of just right flames ignited from his hands, and the flames clearly illuminated the girl's weeping and smiling face.

So Mia and Ace started to split up, and Ace's flame was used for lighting.

Although it is necessary to find it, it is really not an easy matter.The Moby Dick has also been in service for many years. Even if it is well maintained, cracks that allow earrings to fall in are not uncommon on the ship's deck.

The bottom of this area... seems to be a warehouse, Ace thought while searching, if it falls, it will be troublesome.

The night was like still water, and the two searched carefully without much communication.

Suddenly, somewhere illuminated by the fire, a faint silver light flashed in front of Ace...

Ace pulled the glowing object out of the gap where the deck meets the wall:

"Mia...I seem to have found it."

Mia rushed over almost within a millisecond... The earring of the violet gem was quietly lying in the palm of the black-haired young man. She picked it up carefully and put it next to the other earring in the jewelry box...

"Brother Ace, thank you so much~"

Ace didn't expect Mia to pounce on him suddenly, but he sat on the ground with a "touch!" while still maintaining a half-squatting position... It hurt a little... But, that's not the point!Mia was wrapping her hands around Ace's neck, and she was completely in his arms. Although, this was just because she was too excited to find the earring.

"If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do...Brother Ace~"

"Uh, ah..."

Ace propped his hands on the floor, not daring to touch Mia at all, kissing her skin (everyone knows that Ace is not used to wearing tops...), and the faint fragrance wafting from her hair has already made his eyes spin up...

"Brother Ace..."

Mia let go of Ace and stared at him with pure eyes:

"You're so hot..."

Ace bounced at the speed of light, grabbed the back of his head, and his eyes began to wander the night sky: "Ah, that, that's because I'm Mengmeng...ah no, I'm a person with the ability to burn fruits (cat:...), my body is a flame , of course it will be hot..."

"Hey~ I'm so envious~ Mia said out of fear of the cold..."

Mia blinked her golden eyes quite sincerely, obviously completely unaware of her previous behavior.

"Ahaha... is it..."

Ace continued to look at the sky, and smirked: "Then you should go to bed early, good night."

Then he rushed to the "corpse pile" on the deck, and plunged into it in a standard high-diving posture...

Mia couldn't help laughing out loud:

"What an interesting person."

After talking to herself like this, she hugged the velvet jewelry box tightly in her arms...

———————————————————————————————————————————————— ——————————————————————

Ace, who came to Nina, immediately cut to the chase after greeting politely:

"Nina-san, please tell me about Mia."

Nina (inside): This kid, my mother just came to ask such a headache question after her hangover got better... Just let it go.

"Because I heard that you are Mia's guardian..." Ace continued, "Is she... encountering something bad?"

"It's not a guardian." Nina impatiently picked up a cigarette, and started to light it with a lighter: "It's just that that guy happened to be taught by me... As for the others, it's up to you to think too much."

"she cried."

The young captain's words made Nina stop what she was doing.

"She also said that the earrings Daddy gave her yesterday were 'the last birthday present'. I wonder what that means."

Nina looked at Ace, his childish face was serious and determined.

Nina threw the unlit cigarette on the table, and flicked her drooping liuhai back with her right hand. Afterwards, her expression changed completely:

"I see...you saw her fragility...that guy always hides it well..."

Ace didn't interrupt anxiously, but listened quietly.Nina paused for a few seconds, then continued:

"That guy has a secret that he doesn't want others to know easily. If she doesn't want to tell it, I can't tell you that."

"is that so……"

Ace was disappointed but helpless.

"However," the head nurse stared at Ace. In Ace's impression, she seemed to have never shown such serious eyes:

"You won't like to hear my words, but I still want to say... If you don't have enough awareness, don't walk into her life easily."

The language was blunt, but Ace could hear the concern in her tone... Nina said this for Mia, this is not an order, but a request...

The black-haired young man responded with all his sincerity: "I will keep it in my heart, thank you."

After Ace left, Nina leaned back in her chair as if relieved:

"Who is Edward fancy..."

……

"Brother Ace, why did you come out of Nina's office?"

Mia, dressed in white, came towards her, and the refreshing sea breeze caressed her hair and flipped the corners of her clothes...

Mia... I really want to know you better... Ace thought of this... Then I will definitely take responsibility. As your brother, I won't make you cry again, so...

"Brother Ace?"

Because there was no answer for a long time, Mia tilted her head in doubt.

"Ah, nothing special."

Ace said, nodding and smiling.

"Hey, Ace! Mia!"

Whitebeard's voice sounded, and it didn't have to be loud, his voice could be heard throughout the ship, and the two who heard the call quickly rushed to his side.

……

"Investigation of the new route!?" This was Mia's reaction after listening to Whitebeard's instructions.

"I'm going with you, too?" Ace said.

"Silly boy, what did you hear? I mean this is your mission, because you are still a newcomer, so let Mia take you!" Whitebeard roared, and ended up blowing Ace's already messy hair It's getting messier.

"I see, Dad...don't be so loud..." Ace rubbed his ears.

"Wait a minute, dad, why is it so sudden, I still have a lot to do!" Mia seemed dissatisfied with this arrangement.

"Not all of a sudden, not all of a sudden~ And this is a more urgent matter now. There are some islands on the new route that we don't know much about. I plan to sail there soon, so I really need my excellent children. Do a preliminary investigation~ After careful consideration, I think you two are the most suitable candidates!"

Whitebeard's eyes are becoming more and more strangely curved, and the two designed parties seem to be completely unaware.

"Well, if you're in a hurry, there's nothing you can do..." The daughter took the bait.

"Then, Mia, please give me your advice." The son (son-in-law) also took care of it.

Mia smiled at Ace: "I have no problem with brother Ace... because I like brother Ace very much~"

A bolt from the blue directly hit the two men present...

The white beard rippling: "Oh~~ Then, Mia, why don't we settle down before departure..."

Before he finished speaking, White Beard only felt a murderous aura rising from behind him...

"Ed-de-hua!!!"

"Didn't you hear that too, Nina!...Ah! I know I was wrong, don't slap me in the face..."

Mia: "Nina and Dad... what are you doing?"

Ace was completely stunned...

Mia turned to him: "By the way, since it's decided, let's go quickly, Brother Ace? You don't have anything to prepare... Okay (Ace who is in a daze is regarded as the default), wait for me for a while, I'm going to change clothes~"

Ace is completely stunned with a nosebleed... 3 emphasized words in his head: Maid? Maid? Clothes!

After 30S, Mia walked out of the cabin, dressed in a cowboy style—a tube top-style leather top, a large cotton scarf wrapped around her neck, and knee-length slacks that were almost the same style as Ace’s on her lower body, plus Dynamic sneakers.Finally, she put a women's cowboy hat on her head and stuck out her tongue playfully at Ace:

"If you're partnering with Brother Ace, you really have to dress like this~"

Ace squirts nosebleeds:

"Although it's not a maid outfit, but the denim outfit is also very good..."

"Brother Ace, are you talking about a horse?"

"No, there are no horses..."

"Then, Dad, Nina, let's go!" Mia turned to the other two.

White Beard: "Okay~~ Have fun...ah, no, I wish you a successful mission..."

White Beard took a peek at the ferocious Nina, thinking that he might not be able to see the sun tomorrow...

Thus, the journey of the girl and her dear brother began like this... (I'm RP, please ignore...)
