[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 523 Father and Son Reunited...?

Roger didn't expect his son to burn his boat as soon as he came up.First of all, he was very happy that his son was quite strong, and second, it seemed that his son was worried about Xiao Youxiang, which was not bad.But...but why did you burn Dad, my boat! !

"That, that... Frey..." Rosie knew that he couldn't persuade Ace, so he could only call Frey weakly.

"I'm exhausted." Frey said with a tired look on his face, "The supply of magic power is not enough after the little girl gets smaller... Fear, how do you feel?"

"I don't have much energy." Phoebe came here, and he spread his hands and said, "But we don't need to fight now, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Thank you for your hard work, anger, you really worked hard for Master."

"Otherwise? If she's not good, we shouldn't even think about it?" Trapped in the dream world, you can't drink grapefruit tea.Frey took a breath, and then said, "Rebirth, are you humans so stubborn?"

"No... that... also divided people?" Rossi replied, "Did something happen? By the way, how is the battle over there?"

"It's not good. When I wanted to bring Ace, I was almost killed by Matthew." After all, Ace is also a main combat force."But luckily it's only a few minutes before we leave over there, so we still have a little time, don't worry," Frey said.

"That's fine. Actually... I thought it would be Mr. Sabo." Rossi shook his head, he said, "After all, you see...Mr. Ace and...Mr. Roger..."

"If he can't get over this for the little girl, I'm going to beat him up. But Sabo really wants to come too, and the two of them guess who will come." The one who set fire everywhere won.Frey got a headache when he thought about it, "And what about Luo, if Matthew hadn't stopped him, all these guys would have rushed over."

"Although the mood is a bit complicated, it's a good thing that everyone loves cabbage, right?"

"Of course. If it weren't for that, the chick would be dead." At least not alive and kicking there.Frey said, "Okay... I'll talk about Ace later, let him reunite with his father first. It's you... Doflamingo..."

"I don't want to be reunited with my dad?" In terms of father-son relationship, who could be worse than me and my dad?Dover laughed, and he said, "If you want to say something about the cost ... no problem. I think it's no problem."

Have you already felt something... This guy doesn't pay attention to anyone or anything at all. In every era, there will be a few guys like him who are so devilish.Frey said: "Close to the dream world, but you will be targeted by demons or something?"

"Then it won't be so boring in Advance City, right?" Anyway, I can't sleep well... It doesn't change much.Dover said, "Where is the incense?"

"Don't worry, the price you bear will only affect you alone." Frey shook his head, "It's just that if she knows, she won't be happy at all, right?"

"That's not necessarily true." After all, it's me...according to those 'righteous people', maybe this is also a kind of punishment for me?Dover didn't continue the topic, "Okay. Regardless of what Portgas said, he will really burn the ship up?"

"I can't control that brat..." Frey said he couldn't, and looked at Phoebe, "Let's put out the fire with some rain, fear?"

"It's been said that I'm out of spirit... Really..." Fei Bila complained in a long voice, and he said, "If the master doesn't recover quickly, we will lose our strength and become unable to protect her, okay? It will be the same as it was before the contract was completed. Do you understand?"

"I know. But now I don't know what kind of magic is in her, and I can't help it?" Should you ask Youxiang to call the omniscient guy to come out and ask... But even if that is the case, you still have to go to Youxiang just go...

Thinking of this, Frey looked towards the center of the flames, Roger and his son were having a great time fighting, and just when Ace couldn't bear the man's hippie smile and wanted to punch him with his own hands, some Xiang's voice came suddenly: "Ace???!!"

"You Xiang!!" Ace immediately stopped his attacking action, then turned his head and ran towards White Beard and You Xiang, "You Xiang! I heard all about Frey! Don't worry! Everyone It's okay...then, I'm here to help you! So...ah...youxiang..."

Although it is true that Frey said that Yuxiang has become the same as a child, but after seeing it, all the previous memories came to Ace's mind.You Xiang...how did you make yourself like this again?

"Ace...?" Youxiang looked at Ace's face in disbelief, the little girl really couldn't accept the current situation, she stretched out her little hand to Ace, "Ace?"

"Ah...it's me, Youxiang. Although, I know...I'm not the same as you remember, but it's really me?" Ace also opened his hand to her, although the white beard has such a He was reluctant, but since Youxiang wanted to go, he didn't refuse and handed Youxiang over to Ace.

But as soon as Youxiang was hugged, she burst into tears: "Why!! Ohhhhhhhhh...has Ace grown up? Why? Lie! Ace lied...uhhhhhh ah!!!!"

"Yes, I'm sorry!! Don't cry, Youxiang!" Ace quickly wiped her tears, "I... have a very important thing to do, so I left temporarily. I'm sorry Youxiang, I didn't, I didn't do it As far as what I promised you..."

"It's not this, you idiot Ace~~~~"

"Huh? Isn't it this? Is that...?"

"Ace...promised Youxiang that he would never run faster than Youxiang... Ace said he would wait for Youxiang...because, because..." because of that person...youxiang cried and said , "Because Sabo won't come back to look for Youxiang anymore, so... why did Ace grow up alone? Uhhhhhhh..."

It turned out that it was this incident... It seemed that she had indeed made such a promise to her. After Sabo had that incident, she kept crying, so she promised her.There are so many things, I failed to do so many things... Is it right to let Sabo come to you?Are you happier when you see him?

I really... I really don't know why you cry every time. I really want to know, but I can't figure it out.It's Sabo who made you laugh again from a long time ago, and you feel at ease when you meet him.Every time I turn around, I can see you holding Sabo's hand and running...

fair enough.I used to think so.Obviously you'll be happier if it's Sabo, we're brothers, so, so this should be fine, I can...get over the pain in my heart, as long as you can smile, I can give up anything... anything.But suddenly one day, Sabo was gone.

I'm more at a loss than you, huh?Fragrant.I'm more at a loss than Luffy, than you, or anyone else.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry Youxiang..."

Many things, very many things.I was really scared, really panicked, I was afraid I couldn't do it, so I ran away.I used many, many excuses to convince myself that I lied to you, I lied to Luffy, I failed Sabo, I was sent to the execution platform alone, and finally hurt all the people who loved me.

Because of my avoidance, because of my fear, I did many things wrong, many, many... In the end, whether it is my brother or myself, it is only with the help of others that nothing happened.

I didn't grow up alone, Youxiang... I escaped alone.I was the only one who escaped.Whether it's Sabo, you or Luffy, I escaped you, I left you.

You are right, I may have been deceiving people, you, Luffy, and myself.And until now, am I... am I still hurting you?

"I'm sorry, I... Youxiang... I'm sorry..."

Ace, why... is Ace crying too?Youxiang doesn't understand very well, but she thinks it's fine if she's the only one crying, she doesn't want Ace to be sad because of herself, she doesn't want to see Ace sad: "Ace...Youxiang, don't cry...? So ... Ace?"

"Youxiang... is lying to me too?" Every time you lie to me, every time you smile at me, you are lying to me, right?It was obviously very painful, obviously very uncomfortable, but he still looked at me and smiled, and told me that it was okay, stop crying, and he was getting better... And every time, every time... I believed you.

Because I'm afraid, because I'm still running away, afraid that I can't make you laugh anymore, running away from the fact that I really hurt you.

"Youxiang didn't lie, huh?" Youxiang wouldn't lie to you... It's really all right.So don't be sad, Ace?Youxiang wiped his tears with his small hands, but it made him even more sad. He lowered his head and said, "Youxiang...can you forgive me? I'm sorry, can...can you forgive me?"

Don't... don't pamper me anymore, okay?Please... He said, "I've, I finally know what I'm really doing wrong. I know now."

This mistake did not start when I was sent to the execution platform, nor did it start when I left Windmill Village, but it started when I fell in love with you.Since I saw you holding Sabo's hand, I decided to give up everything for your smile - including giving up my love for you.All mistakes started from that time.

I've been lying to myself since then, leaving you for your smile, leaving you in a safe place.For your smile, don't tell you anything.Because of your smile, I feel that if you don't know it, if you can't see it, you will always remain the same... It may not be some devil's magic that makes you change back to your childhood appearance, but me... I killed it you.

I hope, no... I think if I run away, you'll keep smiling, if I don't do anything, if I give up everything just to make you smile, you'll keep, keep... …Stay in the way that looks at me and smiles.

I already know it, I already understand it.I know it's all a lie because I want to see your smile and because I love you.So this is all me lying to myself.I thought I dropped everything, but I didn't.I'm just being willful, hurting you, I'm using your tolerance for me, using your... my...

So please...don't cry, Youxiang...forgive me, forgive me.Or don't forgive me.Just don't cry, I still hope you can... you can be happy, even if you don't have me, it doesn't matter even if I can't see it...

It doesn't matter who it is, don't let Youxiang suffer this kind of inexplicable pain again, it's not good for her, right?She's already taken more, so...let her recover, shall I?No matter who did it... let her go, let her be who she wants to be, don't be tied down in that little windmill village, don't be such a 'little cabbage' forever, let her...

To pursue her own happiness?

"Ace...crying so hard~"

You Xiang's voice changed.It's not that Ace didn't notice it. There seemed to be a blue-green light flashing just now, and his left eye, which was close to the dream world, felt a little weird, but he didn't raise his head until Youxiang touched it with his hand. His head, and he can completely bury his head in Youxiang's arms: "I... I'm still... acting like a baby to you, Youxiang..."

"That's right~ And just now you were acting like a spoiled child to me who was almost five years old!"

"A little more than five years old...?" Ace still didn't look up, he was crying, "You're back, Youxiang. Now even if I don't go back to find you, you can keep up with me by yourself, right? "

"Then Ace won't come back to find me?"

"It's no longer necessary...I...I, I'm always lying to myself and Youxiang. I'm sorry."

"Yeah. Ace apologized just now."

"Really...then are you willing to forgive me?"

"I never blamed Ace, huh?" Like the one who started this 'curse' for me.She also... never blamed the people who 'cursed' her.Youxiang said, "However, Ace has to admit that he is an idiot~~"

"I am a fool."

"Forgive you~ idiot~~ By the way, I still have to get along with Mr. Roger!"

"...I really can't do this, it's fragrant~~~ Wooah!"

It's 'woo-ah' again!Is this your brother's coquettish nirvana?Youxiang continued to pat his head helplessly and said, "Why Ace left Windmill Village in such a hurry, I understand now. I'm actually... a little happy, because Ace always wanted me to be happy, just because He was too stupid, so he couldn't convey it well... Is this better than nothing~?"

"It's nothing! How could I... How could I not care about You Xiang at all..." I was about to cry again, You Xiang!Ace still didn't look up, and heard, "I'll be laughed at by Sabo, right?"

"Anyway, Ace and Sabo are pretty much the same~"

"Oh...then let's burn Roger's boat right now and go to Papa's side to occupy Marko's room and do some mutual forgiveness, shall we?"

"Ace, what are you talking about?"

"I want to kiss you!!"

"Grandpa cut it over."

"—Wooah!!!" Ace had to look up this time, he picked up Youxiang and flashed past Cong Yunqie (still lost a few hairs), and immediately explained, "Wait! Dad ! Listen to my explanation!! I am—"

"You brat!!" Little Cabbage! !My little cabbage! !Gone! !I just hugged it! !hateful! ! !Haven't had time to take a picture yet! !Whitebeard was blowing his anger, and he was so angry that his hand holding Cong Yunqie was shaking a little, "Where did it come from!! What did you say to Xiaobaicai?!!!"

"Huh?! Cabbage??" Why did you also belong to Dad's cabbage in the past? It's delicious! !Ace immediately looked at Youxiang who was beside him, and Youxiang explained very calmly, "I called Grandpa directly, and Grandpa agreed!"

Really have you! !I heard that Youxiang and Dad did this when they met for the first time... Ace didn't have time to think about it, and he was almost cut off by Cong Yun: "Listen to me, Dad!! It's not what you want That’s what’s going on!!”

"Stop being wordy!! Let go of that little cabbage!!"

"I...don't really want to let go yet—uah! Help, Frey!!!"

"Now you know how to call me! Why didn't you know to listen to me when I stopped you just now?!" Frey refused to help Ace avoid the 'Grandpa Iron Fist' with an unhappy face, he said, "Little girl!! This The boat is almost on fire! Hurry up and let that guy of fear rain some more!" One by one, they couldn't find the point!but……

The magic that made Youxiang return to its previous appearance was already clear.It doesn't seem to be attacked, but just happened to be 'infected'.That is to say... the person who saw Yuxiang in the dream was also bound to a certain point in time by the past?That person... Judging from the current situation, could it be Qili?

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

The author has something to say:

In fact, Ace just doesn't have the confidence to give Xiangxiang happiness, so with the emotion of evasion, he feels that if Xiangxiang keeps the same way as in Fengche Village, then at least she can always smile.But this was just deceiving himself, he just imprinted the smiling face of Youxiang at that time in his mind, and then ran away before it disappeared.I thought that at least in my mind, Youxiang was always smiling and happy.

For this smile, I can give up everything - including my love for her.So if he ran away and stayed away from her, she would not be affected by him, and she would always remain happy.If you don't do anything, then Youxiang's impression of yourself will not change, so you can always smile at yourself.With such thoughts in mind, he ran away in a hurry.It was precisely because he wanted to keep this smile that he was at a loss and escaped faster.

So, he's an idiot~
