Chapter 22: Not alone

"Ace, Anilu, you're back!"

As soon as he entered the Sea Dragon Palace, Yuna's surprised voice came out of it, and then one or two figures continued to emerge, originally the extremely solemn and solemn Sea Dragon Palace, but now it has become a bar for pirate gatherings, and it is noisy.

"Ah, that's settled." Yuna's concern made Ace feel a burst of joy from the heart, without any impurities, this is the companion he has been fighting side by side.

"Really?" Ace, who had a happy face, and Anilu, who was cloudy and sunny behind him, both of them had small and large wounds on their clothes, which made Yuna look at them meaningfully again, and gently pursed her lips, "Anyway, it's good to come back safely." ”

Ace glanced at each other, smiled faintly, and then strode into the main hall of the Dragon Palace, the King of the Dragon Palace, Neptune, was sitting on the throne, revealing a kind of momentum, obviously the injury had recovered, seeing Ace's return, Jinping showed a rare smile on his face, and the three Dragon Palace princes stepped forward directly, pulling Ace and began to shush the cold and ask for warmth, I don't know if I thought these people were close friends.

"What kind of system are you! Don't get out of the way yet! "It's a good Sea Dragon Palace, but it's a miasma by Ace, Neptune looked at him very unhappy from the beginning, if it weren't for the big difference in strength between the two sides, he would have been bombarded with a fork a long time ago.

"Well, what about Princess Shirahoshi?" As soon as Ace entered the main hall, he didn't feel the breath of the other party.

"Oh, I went to the flower shop to buy flowers, and said I was going to pay homage to her mother." Speaking of Princess Shirahoshi's mother, a trace of nostalgia flashed on Neptune's face, his wife had died for many years, but Neptune did not remarry, which shows that he is also a man with deep affection.

"That's it." Ace nodded, "Now that Vander Dyken has been arrested and my brother's revenge has been avenged, it is time for us to take our leave." ”

"Oh, really?" Neptune really couldn't hide it, and even the fishtail involuntarily cocked, just like a plague god, "My name is Jinping to send you." ”

"Forget it, we have our own boat." The corners of Ace's eyes twitched unnaturally, and the other party's performance made him want to scold his mother, but considering the faces of both parties, he finally held back.

"Brother Ace······ That, Princess Shirahoshi told you to go to the graveyard to find her! After thinking about it again, Jinping still said this sentence before Ace walked out of the main hall, and after Ace outside the door heard it, he raised his right arm high, which was considered an answer.

"Father, why are you doing this?" Not long after Ace's gang left, the eldest prince Kaposi couldn't wait to ask Neptune, in his opinion, although Ace's gang were pirates, they were also one of the few adventurers, but Neptune had never given Ace a good look, which made him puzzled.

Neptune was silent for a moment, "There are some things that you still don't understand, this man is by no means an ordinary pirate, so I can't let Fish-Man Island have anything to do with him, not at all!" ”

Neptune's words reached Jinping's ears, but it made the captain of the Sun Pirates look strange, and he was shocked by the performance of Princess Shirahoshi when he was forced to marry Vander Dyken not long ago, "Your Majesty, it's not that you don't want to have a relationship with the other party, it's that the princess wants to have a relationship with the other party!" ”

Of course, he wouldn't say that.

······

"Who did you and Anilu run into before?" Along the way, Yuna took advantage of everyone's inattention, pulled Ace over, leaned into his ear and said, "It's not ordinary people who can make you two so embarrassed!" ”

"Hmmm······" Ace, who knew what the consequences of telling the truth would bring, was naturally hesitant, he didn't want to lie to Yuna, but if the other party was really caught up in this whirlpool, he would blame himself even more, and he couldn't say a word for a while.

"You, why bother?" Yuna's beautiful face seemed to flash a trace of sadness, "Didn't you say that we are all like relatives?" Why do you have to hide it in your heart every time, or does it look very manly? Do boys like to force themselves like this? ”

"I'm sorry!" Ace couldn't find any other reason, so he had to bow his head and apologize silently, "It's not that I don't want to be a hero alone, but I don't want you to be hurt, there are some things, I'll just take care of it alone." ”

"I know." At this time, the posture of the two was already very ambiguous, and in the eyes of others, Yuna was already leaning on Ace's arms, "Although you are sometimes very reckless and scoundrel, I can see that you are sincere to others······" Yuna suddenly walked up to Ace and looked up into the other's eyes, "So, at least say the bitterness in your heart, I don't ask you to treat me like you do to Bonnie, I just ask for a little, really, a little." ”

Ace was already nervously speechless, his words had been clarified, and he couldn't help but express his position, "Hey, really, although I have been hiding my advantages and handsomeness, I was still discovered by you, hahaha······"

There was a foolish laugh, but she didn't get half a point of retreat, she was a very strong woman and very smart.

The troubles are all because of my excessive attachment, no matter how strong I am, it will not end well. No one is selfless, everyone wants to be rewarded for their efforts, at least they have to be recognized, in fact, the situation is very clear, but some people are not willing to face it.

"Let's go see Princess Shirahoshi together, doesn't she have an appointment with you?"

After nearly half an hour of silence, this was the first thing the two men said.

"Uh, is that just going straight ahead?" Ace scratched his head and said after a while.

"Of course not, you have to prepare some flowers, after all, she is the biological mother of Princess Shirahoshi." Yuna looked at Ace with some amusement and said.

"Sorry, sorry······" Ace was embarrassed for a while, and without waiting for Yuna to come to her senses, she hurriedly ran to the nearby flower shop.

"Wait a minute, Ace, do you know what flowers to buy for worship?" Ace poked out some basket again, and Yuna hurriedly entered the flower shop. As soon as Ace's front foot arrived, Yuna's words drifted to her ears, her face was unnatural for a while, and Yuna patted her head, "I know." ”

Finally, after a few minutes of working in the flower shop, Ace and Yuna came out with a bouquet of lilies and white roses respectively, and Yuna's face flushed at the thought of the flower shop owner's ridicule.

"I didn't expect her to be unexpectedly innocent······" Taking the other party's performance into his eyes, Ace tilted his head to the side and said with a chuckle.
