[Master Pirate] I just want to live a peaceful life

"you are sick."

Marko, the phoenix who put on his glasses and took on a doctor's stance, made a judgment on me.

I subconsciously touched the bandage wrapped around my arm, wanting to say that this injury is not considered a disease...

"I don't mean here, but here." He tapped my chest in the air, without any ambiguous seriousness: "You are sick here and need treatment."

Will there be a cure for despair in the world?No, of course not, so I naturally rejected him.

"No, I don't need treatment."

"Ah, is it?"

The consequence of my firm rejection of Marco was that he told me that Whitebeard would allow me to stay on board until I recovered from my illness.

I:"……"

Marco leaned lazily against the door, smiling slightly: "You can live here temporarily, it's very close to my room and Dad's room, take a good rest."

Close the door, leaving me alone in the dark room.

Thank you so much for giving me a single room.

I don’t understand what the people on this boat are thinking. Anyway, I have decided to leave as soon as the boat touches the shore. Now they treat me well, but it’s because of Gavin and Rosalie. Kindness from two people.

I didn't turn on the oil lamp, and with my good eyesight, I accurately found the position of the bed in the dark. I took off my dirty cloak and lay down on it.

The bedding is very clean, with a smell of soap and sun exposure. As a big pirate ship, their hygiene awareness is not bad.

I emptied my brain, gave up on persuading myself to sleep, and let it start thinking about something. Anyway, my brain will eventually get tired and fall into darkness before I can react.

I haven't experienced it for a long time, what it feels like to fall asleep.

There is a fuzzy boundary between light sleep and no sleep. If you don't sleep deeply, it can't be called real sleep. What is the reason for closing your eyes?

Because the eyes will be tired and sore, otherwise I wouldn't close my eyes, and I wouldn't die anyway.

When I close my eyes, the world is plunged into darkness. I feel really uncomfortable when I am still awake. My eyes will play out the past that I don’t want to recall like a theater screen, playing it in an uncontrolled loop.

The wet youth floated in front of me, his freckled cheeks and smile paused in my mind.

Thinking of the fact that he jumped down to save me despite being a devil fruit user during the day, I laughed and laughed at him.

Stupid.

The door was pushed open forcefully, and the sun shone on the faces of the people who came in.

"Dinner, Beatrice!"

In my light sleep, I sat up all of a sudden, picked up the pillow and threw it towards the door.

"Do you want to die? Don't call me by that name!"

Catching the pillow I threw, Fire Fist Ace didn't care about my indifferent gaze and threats, walked over, bent down and grinned at me, reaching out and messing with my hair.

"Then what do you want me to call you?"

This kind of tone and attitude of coaxing children successfully stepped on my minefield.

I raised my fist grinning.

"I think it's fine if you call me Dad."

Fire Fist Ace flew straight out, taking the half-open door away with him. After a burst of crackling and the sound of falling water as the end, I took care of myself, put on my cloak and went out. It was already a mess outside. .

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates stared wide-eyed around the side of the ship rail, yelling in disbelief.

"Ace?!"

"He went to challenge Dad again?!"

"No, Dad is on the deck!"

"Halta—Namuel—Ace fell into the sea again!"

Marco walked over, and I straightened my back fearlessly. I thought he would scold me, or drive me off the ship. Fire Fist Ace is the captain of the white beard mother ship. It is conceivable to be a captain at this age. I know how much he is valued in this pirate group.

No matter how you think about it, an outsider directly beats their respected captain away, you will be angry, right?Be angry, be angry, and drive me away.

"Sorry." Marco looked at Ace who was salvaged, raised his hand to his forehead, and said with a headache: "That guy came to ask about you yesterday, I think you are about the same age, and Ace has that personality again, yes Your condition might help, so tell him, it's my fault."

ha?

"To make up for it... Do you have anything you want to eat? Rosalie likes lemon and honey, do you like it too? If I like it, I will ask Sage to prepare it. Ah, Sage is the chef on our ship. What do you want?" Just tell him what to eat."

ha? ? ?

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Marco bent down and reached out to touch my forehead: "I don't have a fever."

Are you the one with the fever? ! ! !

"Go eat." As he said, he naturally pushed my shoulders and walked forward. From time to time, I looked back at Ace lying on the deck and spitting sea water. The people next to him pointed and smiled, and Marco himself didn't change his face. .

I'm confused, isn't the Whitebeard Pirates also a family form?Isn't Ace your brother? !

As soon as you enter the restaurant, you will be greeted by the smell of food and the laughter of the men. The wine and sweat evaporate together. Looking around, you can't find the shadows of the girls who were tied up, but the blond mermaid and Haixia Jinpei are very conspicuous. see.

"Come here come here!"

The mermaid happily waved at me, and I sat down against the gazes of many.

She generously gave me all the untouched desserts on her plate.

"These are desserts from Mermaid Island! Eat them all for you!"

"Sorry, I don't like sweets." I pushed the plate back again, and she was taken aback for a moment, but she quickly focused on the meat, and she picked up a plate full for me, holding her cheeks and smiling He said to me: "Eat more! My name is Winnie, please give me more advice! However, we are leaving soon, see you next time!"

After finishing speaking, she left with Jinbe who had finished eating, and Haixia Jinbe nodded to me when leaving.

I picked up the chopsticks when they disappeared, and habitually picked out the green peppers that came in with the meat and put them aside. Winnie didn’t ask my name, probably because Marco said something, although I didn’t want to Thanks, but I do breathe a sigh of relief.

"Don't you like green peppers?"

With both hands, I picked up the green pepper I picked out naturally, and the man with exaggerated haircut threw the green pepper into his mouth without disdain, and bared his teeth at me: "Is there anything else you don't like?"

"Bitter... don't want it."

"Coffee too?"

"I hate coffee the most."

The man gave an ok gesture, and Marco introduced, "He is Sage."

Sage, the captain of the fourth team, raised his hand and waved symbolically.

"That's right, I'm Chef Saatchi. If you want to eat anything, you can come to me directly in the kitchen. You just need to follow these guys to the kitchen." Saatchi pointed his thumb back, and several men behind him were holding a large pile of food. Delicious passed by, and when he saw me, he took out some of the food in his arms and gave it to me.

"Too thin, come and eat more!"

"Go and stay, do you want to be like Ace!"

Sach chased people away like a puppy, and turned to me and said, "You don't have to worry about that boy Ace, that guy is used to this kind of thing."

What are you used to?Was it beaten?

"Sage, I can't pretend I didn't hear what you said."

While I was in a daze, an arm stuck out from behind me and grabbed the biggest piece of meat on my plate. The smell of sea water and the heat from the young man enveloped me. The bulging Fire Fist Ace looked at each other, with a towel on his head, his undried hair was still dripping, and he asked me innocently, "Why don't you eat?"

"I don't eat things from strangers." I put down my chopsticks blankly. I didn't refuse because of Winnie's presence. Picking green peppers is also a habit. I will never eat things from strangers again. up.

"It's good to be vigilant, but it's okay not to eat." Fire Fist Ace sat down, wiped his hair with a towel, and said, "No wonder you are so small. When my brother was the same age as you, he was bigger than you." You are tall."

"hiss--"

Sage gasped, Marco covered his face and let out a sigh, only Fire Fist and Ace looked at the two of them because he didn't understand, and blinked, as if you two were doing something.

I stood up, and the excessive force caused the chair to fall to the ground. The noise in the restaurant seemed to be paused. I narrowed my eyes, raised my chin and raised the corners of my mouth sarcastically: "Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to deal with it?" Me pointing fingers? I'm not your brother, so don't use your disgusting brotherhood on me, it's disgusting!"

"..."

He wiped his hair slower and slower, finally stopped, pulled off the towel, the fluffy hair jumped out, and he stood up too.

Is it finally time to make a move?I clenched my fists and prepared to fight.

A young man who is 35 cm taller than me looks down at me with no expression on his face. He has a very handsome face, but when he has no expression, he reminds people of a wild wolf ready to go. Domesticated, indifferent and dangerous creatures, just being stared at closely makes people want to run away.

But I was not afraid, and looked back blankly.

Just when I was ready to show the wolf's fangs at me, he showed his neck at me... Eh?

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything malicious, I apologize if I said something that made you unhappy." Fire Fist Ace apologized to me in a standard [-]-degree bending posture, while not forgetting to emphasize his position: "But you must Eat, Marco said you are malnourished, it will be dangerous if you continue like this."

"If you don't want to see me, I don't have to be in front of you, as long as you can eat well."

"..."

There was an awkward silence in the dining room, all eyes were on me and him, and surprisingly I felt no blame, or even a hint of malice.

"There is something wrong with your brain..." I murmured.

Why don't you blame me?Why?You and I are just strangers, why should you care about my physical condition?You are angry, I made you ugly in front of so many people, you are angry! !

"..."

In the end, I couldn't bear the atmosphere, gritted my teeth and ran away from the bowing Ace and those harmless people.

Going back to the room and locking the door, I slumped against the door and fell to the ground.

I curled up and hugged my thighs, buried my face in my knees, bit my trembling lips, and clenched the cloak tightly with my fingers.

That's enough.

I didn’t leave the room for a few days after that, during which time Marko and Sachs both came, and the food at the door got cold and I took it away and replaced it with new ones, and this went on and on, and finally one day, the food was good or they didn’t come anymore up.

When I'm alone, time will pass very slowly, and I will think about some messy things, even though I want to be alone.

There is a separate bathroom in the room, but as I don’t eat or drink, even my physical needs have decreased. The bad habits left over from that time, I used a kind of self-abuse to get a sense of security, but what does it matter? I'm not going to die anyway.

There have been such days before. At that time, I was just born as Bianca and Kudo Yuuki for only four years. I have not yet come out of the shadow of death and the worldview of my previous life from beating the enemy. As a little beast of the clan, my brain was occupied by bewilderment and anxiety. At that time, I felt that the world was really terrible.

It is just mechanically repeating the necessary conditions for living, and then waiting for the arrival of death.

But I was very lucky at that time, because I was born as a child of the Kudou family, my gentle parents and elder brother did not abandon me, but gently guided me, accepted me, and told me that this world is not scary at all.

Now it's all gone, I have nothing, all important people have left me, and there is no one who can reach out to save me.

I don't know how long it has passed, but watching the sunrise and sunset every day, I have long since lost the concept of time, and just lie on the bed mechanically repeating the necessary conditions for living-breathing.

"Do you have time now?"

It was Fire Fist Ace who broke this vicious cycle. His voice sounded a bit vague through the door, so I kept silent and didn't want to talk to him.

After a moment of silence, he still said politely, "If you keep ignoring me, I'll burn the door down."

Grass!

I only have the strength in my heart to scold him.

Neither Marco nor Sage chose to break through forcefully. They probably still had the heart, but Fire Fist Ace didn't.

I struggled to sit up, walked weakly like stepping on cotton, got out of bed, and opened the door. This simple action exhausted all my strength, so that when the door opened, my body fell forward along the door go down.

A pair of powerful arms caught me, the same pair of hyperthermic hands, holding my arms in a regular manner, helping me to stand still, I was so close to him, so close that I could describe his abdominal muscles with my eyes And the mermaid line extending downward.

Is it because I haven't drank water for a long time?I licked my lips, feeling a little thirsty, anyway, I think I should stay away from him, and Fire Fist Ace didn't stop me, allowing me to lean against the door and stare at him as if I was trying to be brave.

"What's your business?"

If he talks about something unimportant, even if I try my best, I will throw him into the sea.

"Let's make a deal."

"what?"

What is this development? !

I was surprised, but the corners of his mouth were raised upwards.

"The content of the transaction is very simple. Next, I will show you something. If you are satisfied, how about promising me one thing?"

I opened my mouth and wanted to refuse, but seeing his firm look, I thought about it, why don't I take this opportunity and let him give up completely.

"Okay, if I'm not satisfied after reading it, you have to promise me one thing."

"can."

The full moon hangs on the night, and the moonlight adds softness and tranquility to the sea at night that is not available during the day.

I haven't been out of the house for a long time. I am very glad that it is not daytime. It will be very uncomfortable to be directly exposed to the sun.

I followed Ace around the lively deck and walked deep into Moby Dick's ship, and he didn't stop until he was completely away from the lively area.

With his back to the full moon, Fire Fist Ace put on his wry hat and spread his palms.

"Don't blink."

I muttered, who wants to listen to you, but my eyes were fixed on his palm for a moment.

The night wind blows, blowing the bangs on the young man's forehead with blazing eyes, the moonlight becomes softer, the light green fluorescent light is born from his palm, rises slowly, more and more fluorescent lights emerge, and they fly to calm with the wind On the surface of the sea, the little light dispelled the darkness for a moment, they are so small, so cute, and the green fluorescent light evokes the deepest memory buried in my heart.

'Ningning, look. '

It was also the same night that day. Gavin was surrounded by fluorescent lights and the sound of the wind. He stood in the light and finally disappeared with the light before dawn.

'Happy birthday. '

But no one can take it away. The memories we experienced together, the beautiful scenes of the past, are the lights that he once illuminated the darkness for me.

The body temperature of others wiped the corners of my eyes, and I suddenly came back to my senses. Fire Fist Ace was helping me wipe away my tears, and he said disappointedly: "Sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry. We thought about it for a long time and thought you would like it." this……"

"I love so much."

I cut him off, looking away, my cheeks starting to heat up.

"Then you're willing to come out for dinner?!" He couldn't hide the surprise in his tone, I puffed up my face and nodded, his eyes got bigger and bigger, and finally he opened his arms excitedly and hugged me.

"Thank you, Beja!"

The cheek that was already hot, now pressed against his chest, caught fire instantly.

"Let go! Let me go! What the hell is Bea?!"

As I pushed and shoved, my hands inevitably touched the skin of his chest, and the temperature rose again.

He laughed, ruffling my hair with dry, warm hands.

"You don't like being called Beatrice, so you should call me Beatrice."

"Huh? Who told you to—"

"Can't I call you Beja?"

"..."

Didn't you do this kind of thing for the sake of eating? !

So angry, so angry! !

But I have to do what I promised. I haven't fallen to the point of going back on my word, and...

It's the same this time, it was the same before, why on earth can he do this for me?He went all out to save me, tried his best to get me to eat, cared about my body, took care of my emotions, what was he doing for who was not close to me?

This kind of unreasonable tenderness scares me, but I can't help but want to be treated like this.

Am I really hopeless?

Leaning on the railing of the boat, Ace, who closed his eyes and enjoyed the night wind and moonlight, noticed my gaze, and immediately responded with a smile. The bright smile should not exist on such a night. It ignited all the accumulated emotions in my heart, and then --explode.

"Eh? Eh?! Beja?!!"

The next day, I was on a drip, and I stared at Ace who appeared at the door like an enemy. He took out a tray of cooking from behind him like a magic trick.

"Beja, it's time to eat!"

"I will not eat……"

"But didn't we make an agreement yesterday?" He put the tray on the bed regardless of my resistance, bent his eyes and leaned over to me, I don't know if it was my illusion, this smile looked a bit malicious.

"Promise me one thing."

"Isn't it about the name?!"

"Huh? I didn't say it meant the name, did I?"

'Can't I call you Beja? '

His words from yesterday sounded in my ears, and I was dumbfounded.

I really didn't say... eh?So what is this?Is this guy playing tricks on me? !

Looking up in disbelief, Ace still had the same smile on his face. He even picked up the bowl, stirred the steaming porridge with a spoon, took a spoonful and blew on it before feeding it to me: "Come on, Beja, ah -"

Ah, ah, you are a ghost———! ! !

"Ah, Ace fell into the sea again, who will save him?"

-------------------

The author has something to say:

False elder brother Charlotte: One day, I found my sister seemed cute, and I used it to play with it, but I couldn't put it down accidentally.

The real brother Bai Tuan: My sister's health comes first, everything else is secondary, are you hungry?What to eat?too skinny!eat more!

Bai Tuan is so kind to Beja, part of the reason is because Rosalie is right, not because of Gavin, Beja will be taken care of in the navy because of Gavin, but in the pirates it is because of Rosalie, back then This kind of thing happened before. After the two sides fought, they silently dealt with the aftermath. Rosalie was the one who took care of the food regardless of enemy or friend.

Bai Tuan: Great, we want it too!

Roger: Hello Royal Palace, I want it too!

then--

Whitebeard: Roger, if you rob my captain (Rosalie), I'll rob you as an intern crew member (Rosalie)!

Roger: Newgate, stop it!

The room Beja lived in was intended to be reserved for Rosalie at the time, but no dispute was made between the two parties, and it was Gavin who married her back in the end (nodding)

So Bai Tuan is the real brothers!

At this time, Beja didn't know that in Ace's eyes, she was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old malnourished little girl.

In addition, the metaphor about Ace being a wolf was formed in Beja's mind, but to talk about an interesting thing, there are many versions of the story of Little Red Riding Hood. This is the version, Little Red Riding Hood took care of the wolf by himself, so I saw some friends say that Ace is guarding himself and stealing, but in fact, it is not sure who steals who (laughs)
