[One Piece] Chasing the Eagle

whale bay.

Nine o'clock at night.

Ada felt guilty for causing the secret repairer to be injured because she attracted the Warring States Period. This afternoon, she ignored the secret repairer's rejection and stayed in the hospital to chat with him, watch TV, and listen to music.

In the past few days, Secret Xiu is going through the saddest days alone. It is not his legs that make him suffer, but the doctor told him——

"The damage to your leg is hard to heal. In the future, you will become a disabled person with a cripple."

Secret Xiu blamed himself for failing to protect Ada, and felt even more uncomfortable because of the disabled future. "Where to go" has become a problem. He can't go back to Aimei Island, and he can't stay in Walvis Bay, let alone fulfill the goal of "guarding Ida until she finds her home" that he just set a few days ago!

How ridiculous, just as he set his ambition, fate hit him in the face.

He is not a man who is good at hiding his emotions, nor is he as tough as the Don Quixote family.So his mood was seen by Ada at once.

The doctor who operated on him was based on the principle of responsibility, and on the other hand, because he thought that Ada was in charge of the island, he did not dare to neglect or deceive him, and told Ada all about the secret cultivation situation.

After hearing this, Ada didn't react too much, she just accompanied the secret cultivator calmly, as usual.

They were friends from the beginning when they were in the womb of Neptunes, so they will always be friends.

Apologizing is of no use anymore, you should live the days to come.

Ada did find her mood changing, but life went on.

Thinking of this, she got up, looked out the window with neon lights, and said to Mixiu: "I'm leaving, you have a good rest." Then she tucked his quilt: "I'll come back another day."

Neon lights reflected in Secret Xiu's eyes, and he smiled back at Ada gently: "Thank you, Ada."

Ada shook her head, waved to him, and walked out of the ward.

He looked at her back as she disappeared outside the door, and the light in his eyes dimmed. How much he wanted to keep her, even if he stayed for another 10 minutes... But, as a disabled person, what qualifications does he have to say the words to keep her Woolen cloth......

Just the right breeze at night.

Instead of taking the carriage, Ada chose to walk back to the house.The hospital is not far from the house, and it takes about half an hour to walk.

For her safety (to prevent her from escaping), two maids and three bodyguards followed her, patiently following her steps.

Ada patted the handle of "Ying" on his waist, and murmured to the knife: "It's all because of you, they thought I was going to rebel~ But I don't take you with me when I go out, I always feel that something is missing~ right? , old friend!"

Knife naturally wouldn't answer.

Inexplicably, Ada felt that if his knife had attributes, it would be arrogant, so he couldn't help laughing.

"Fufurfur~What are you laughing at alone?"

A teasing and gentle voice came from behind.

When Ada heard this, her pupils constricted twice in disbelief, and she turned around abruptly!

If it weren't for the brand new and bright street lights, Ida would almost have thought that the man was a phantom under the lights!But that person was so clearly... standing under the streetlight.

The maid and bodyguards retreated into the dark at some point.

The passing residents of Whale Bay looked strangely at the familiar "Madam of the Island Master" Ida, and the tall strange man in a flowered shirt, five-point trousers, and men's boat shoes.

Since Walvis Bay was taken over by Don Quixote Doflamingo, Rosindi has been going back and forth between Walvis Bay and other islands.People know the existence of the island owner, but they don't know what he looks like or how tall he is.

Seeing this, the residents stood still: "Madam, do you need help?"

Surprised Ada was called several times before realizing that she was calling her, so she quickly waved her hand: "Thank you, thank you, I'm an acquaintance, it's okay."

Only then did the residents leave in peace.

Brother Ming leaned against the light pole, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and smiled at Ada: "It seems that you are used to this name~ very good."

"..."

Ada didn't answer, just looked him up and down with her eyes.

Brother Ming looked a little strange, and waved to her: "Come here, Ada."

"No." Ada refused flatly: "Are we meeting by chance, or are we meeting by chance?" There was more stubborn look in her eyes than before, but Brother Ming surprisingly didn't feel unhappy.

Seeing her living here safe and sound, and living in harmony with the people here, he suddenly felt relieved.

Feeling relieved.

"It's not a chance encounter." Brother Ming said: "I forgot my fragrance at Whale Bay, and I came here to pick it up tonight~" There was an evil and charming smile on the corner of his mouth, which was spreading: "You came here because of me." Too late, so angry?"

Ada was taken aback for a moment, she hadn't noticed such a change in her emotions.

Yes, she didn't know why she was really angry just now.

[Why, because you will marry him according to the "will" of the Warring States Period in the not-too-distant future, so now you start to feel it again?Why are you so obsessed with Qin Muchu! 】

——She listened frankly to the honest scolding voice coming from her heart, and she became more calm than she was confused before.

So she lost the mood to care about, and her voice was soft but not ambiguous.She looked up at him and asked, "Are you okay?"

Brother Ming watched her standing not too far away, her voice came into his ear canal, as if the wind chime-like, familiar voice was blurred by the street lights on the way.

He suddenly felt that Ada drew a river between him and her.

She once said that she cared about his words, and shed tears for him. They once shared the same bed intimately without crossing over, and even fused his blood into her veins...

Why the sudden strangeness?

What tricks is this woman playing again?

Brother Ming, who took the initiative to Ada too many times, felt a little tired, but he thought it was caused by his forced long journey tonight.

Shouldn't such a post-war reunion be embraced and filled with tears?

Brother Ming bent the corner of his mouth, and answered her question just now: "Yes."

Ada saw that he had answered in the affirmative, but did not step forward.

Her mind is clear tonight, especially now—

She couldn't look at Doflamingo's wound like she did two years ago when she hugged Mihawk's pant leg and forcibly inspected the wound on his leg.

Nor can he question his answer.

Because Doflamingo is not the same as Mihawk.

Mihawk is her bamboo horse, existing in her innocent past;

Doflamingo is her fiancé, she can only face him maturely, and respecting each other as a guest is the best.

Respecting each other as guests means being calm and not quarreling.

It is also indifferent, not enthusiastic, not excited.

The past has passed, and the future has not yet come.

If she was bound to become his wife, then she couldn't be naive anymore. With so many interests behind him, so many family members, what kind of posture would she...stand beside him?

——Of course [dignified and decent, able to turn the tide and shoulder heavy responsibilities when necessary].

Ada thought, taking a deep breath!I keep telling myself to muster up the courage so that I can face that kind of future and that kind of self.

You have to be strong, you have to be brave, you have to be dignified.

Don't be arbitrary, don't be arrogant, and don't be willful.

Thinking of this, she finally stepped forward and walked towards him: "Dover, it's nice to see you."

Listening to her words, Brother Ming felt the softness in her tone.

At that moment, his rationality and the sense of strangeness and alienation just now were uncontrollably left behind.

He couldn't help himself—

He bent down, put his arms around her slender waist, and hugged her.

Accompanied by Brother Ming's huge and broad body, the familiar fragrance pressed down on Ada.

Ada cooperatively put her hands on his strong chest, but even through the shirt, she could feel the gauze under the clothes.

The texture of the scar was like a knife mark.

Ada's heart skipped a beat.

Following the knife marks, she thought of the person she shouldn't have thought of again.She couldn't help but worry that the person who shouldn't be remembered... how many times was scratched by the man in front of her?Have you injured any vital bones?Is it painful...

When Ida was distracted, Doflamingo had already put his arms around her back, and their chests were pressed together.

He took off his purple sunglasses and put his chin on her narrow shoulders. For a moment, her nostrils were filled with the mixed smell of sweat on his neck, perfume and medicine.

Following Brother Ming's movements, Ada seemed to sense something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while.

Just thought he was kind of weird.

So out of instinct, she reached out to hug him with one hand, and gently stroked his slightly sweaty hair.

The surrounding air seems to be warmed a lot because of this hug and caress - the light of the street lamp is getting warmer, the grass in the corner is getting warmer, the wind is getting warmer, everything is getting warmer.

Ada put her cheek against Brother Ming's: "You're right, we've never gotten along well and peacefully."

"En." Brother Ming's voice was deep, showing a hint of relaxation.

"It will be fine in the future." Ada closed her eyes resignedly, and said word by word, as calmly as possible.

As her words dissipated in the warmth of the hug, a tear slowly and slowly flowed down the corner of her closed eye.The tear slowly flowed to her lips, she pursed her lips, and swallowed the bitter tears into her throat.

She calmly wiped the tears off her face.

At this time, Brother Ming left the leaning on Ada's shoulder. At such a warm moment, listening to her gentle and calm words, he also lost his attitude of making fun of her, but faced her like an ordinary man——

"Well, it will be fine."

After that, he went to kiss her and touched her cold lips.

He nimbly pried open her lips, but touched her tightly clenched teeth.

Brother Ming paused, and it was only then that Ada realized that her body had taken a step ahead of her brain before she knew it, and rejected his further step.

At this time, he wanted to greet him again, but Brother Ming stopped kissing.

Ada was not nervous at all. She held his cheek and kissed him lightly: "Sorry, I'm not in a good state recently, please forgive me for being slow... You know, women are always more confused."

Brother Ming accepted this explanation.

As Ada said, their discord in the past was because they didn't get along well.

Her hand holding his cheek was cold, and he covered her little hand: "It's okay."

Brother Ming felt the smooth and soft little hand in this palm. Her hand was icy cold, which reminded him of the cold poison in her body, and also thought of her rejection on the bed that night.

Thinking of this, he sighed that his heart softened.

In fact, judging from so many things she has experienced in the past, he knows that this woman's heart is not easy to change.Now that she respectfully begged for his forgiveness, it made him unhappy, but what could he say.

Brother Ming thought that no matter whether he won or lost, as long as she was still under his control, he would be victorious—however, he found out that he was wrong.Not only was she defeated in the battle, but now she gradually looks different from before.

It turns out that the sense of estrangement is still there.

However, now that he is angry, it seems that he is making trouble for no reason.

The evening clock at Walvis Bay rings to remind people of the arrival of ten o'clock at night.

The evening bell was the best cover, and he took the opportunity to get away: "I should go."

Ada grabbed his hem: "Where are you going?"

"I was just passing by."

"Didn't you come to get your fragrance?"

【Didn't you throw it into the sea a long time ago? 】 He thought.

However, he just replied lightly: "I won't take it, next time."

Seeing her embarrassed face, Brother Ming showed a teasing expression, and returned to his usual unrestrained appearance.

Ada breathed a sigh of relief, and the unnaturalness on his face was reduced: "Yes."

If he stayed in Walvis Bay, she didn't know how to face him yet.Their relationship is finally better than when they were in Aimei Island. If she does something self-defeating like tonight, their relationship may freeze again.

"You take good care of yourself here."

"Okay, I'll be fine." She let go of his clothes and said obediently.

Brother Ming turned his head, looked at the rows of street lights in front of him, and said again to the people behind him: "I'm leaving."

"Be careful on the road." Ada stood behind him, like a well-behaved wife watching her husband go out.

Brother Ming let out a "hmm", stepped on an invisible thread and flew into the night sky, disappearing in an instant.

To this day, Brother Ming has actually been reminding himself of the fact that he was defeated, which made it impossible for him to stay in Walvis Bay even if Ada persuaded him to stay.In this way, her reluctance and estrangement made him feel better.

And Ada kept reminding herself that the fact that Doflamingo was her future husband made it impossible for her to get along well with him even if he wanted to stay in Walvis Bay.His decisiveness made her feel better.

Thank you for your unintentional fulfillment.

After Brother Ming left, the maids and bodyguards returned to Ada and continued to walk back with her.

There was relief in the eyes of the maids looking at Ada's back.The young master and his wife have a good relationship, which is the blessing of their servants under his wife.

Ada didn't know how much expectation she was carrying. She walked ahead silently, neither happy nor sad.For some reason, seeing Dover like that, she seemed to feel that she could get along with him peacefully, as long as she expressed herself respectfully to him.

She thought smugly that what Dover wanted was a woman's obedience.

Then she can follow along, what's the problem?

Inside the island owner's house halfway up the mountain.

Ada did not tell either Rossindi or Monet about Mingo's short stay in Walvis Bay.She went straight back to the bedroom, ready to go to bed after reading a book for a while.

However, there was Monet standing in front of her bedroom door!

"Why don't you go to rest, what are you doing here?" Ada asked Monet.The little girl looked like she had been waiting for a long time.

Monet's nose twitched slightly, and a look of shock burst out in his eyes!The smell that she was familiar with and unique to that person... passed the approach of the woman in front of her, and passed into her nasal cavity!

A cold killing intent flashed across Monet's heart, but she quickly suppressed that thought.

She looked at Ada eagerly, trying to hide her gaffe: "Sister Ada, you are finally back! I... this is my last day here!"

The last day?

Ada didn't notice Monet's unnaturalness, and was surprised: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why? Where are you going?"

Monet was dejected: "Ai Mei Island asked me to go back and help rebuild."

"How can you, a girl, help?"

"A few days ago, I was dealing with corpses and battlefields. These days, the work has almost been completed. I was replanting roses and arranging the streets. I participated in the transformation of Aimei Island before. Now I have to go back if I want to restore it." She said. As he spoke, reluctance appeared in his eyes.

Ada patted Monet's head helplessly: "Since this is the case, there is no other way. Let's go after breakfast tomorrow."

"Well." Monet nodded meekly, and then took out a small essential oil bottle from behind: "This is the rose essential oil that was abundant in Aimeiyu before, and it is a must in Aimeiyu. Sister Ada, take it, it's right A memory of the former Rose Forest."

She spoke sincerely, but it hurt Ada's guilt for the destruction of Rose Forest.

But her face was pure and innocent, as delicate and lovely as before.

This left Ada speechless and unable to say anything.So he could only smile resentfully, and took the bottle of essential oil.

Monet hugged her happily, kissed her on the cheek on tiptoe, and ran back to his bedroom happily.

Tuliu Ada stood where she was, looking at the rose essential oil in her hand in embarrassment.

Back in the bedroom, Ada took the oral medicine, and the doctor came to give her the injection before going to bed, and then retreated.

The bedroom was quiet again.

Ada turned off the light and lay on the bed under the quilt. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Brother Ming she met tonight seemed to be a hallucination.

It seemed that even the touch of his lips on the lips seemed like an illusion.

She closed her eyes and fell into a dream.

In the dream, there are eagles that break through the sky, and there are also roaring earth and turbulent sea water...

The author has something to say:

You simply want to express the feeling that Brother Ming and Ada are peaceful and peaceful, but their hearts are getting closer and further away, they don't understand each other more and more, and they don't feel like before.

Ada seems to be gentler to Mingo than before, and has begun to accept the person she is going to marry, but her heart is unprecedentedly depressed, and she is pretending to be tough on the surface.Just like Fanyi in Thunderstorm, strong and suppressed love.It's just that unlike Fanyi, Ada is strongly repressed and does not love.Either way, something will happen.

A little distressed.
