Chapter 37: Giant + Dragon=?
"I lived for you, and I will die for you······"
The last time Black Rock's voice sounded in Ace's ears, it was as pleasant as heaven, it was the voice of farewell.
Layers of blue light appeared around the girl, like her magnificent left eye, like the most beautiful rainbow light, and a little blue light slowly bloomed from her body, turning into a torrent of warmth and holiness, like a rain of stars splashing into his body.
Everything is gone, the boundless cold sea of knowledge, the harbor where the soul rests, he wants to hug each other tightly again, but he doesn't want to be unable to control his body, just like the agitation of the water, he was deeply taken away from this dark area, when he opened his eyes again, what he could see was the light that he had not seen for a long time.
When the first rays of sunlight shone on his body after being born, Ace seemed to wake up from a long sleep, felt the rush of life from all over his body, and couldn't help but get up, but found that he was buried in a soft embrace, and after a closer look, it was Lilith, but at this time she was different from before, with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, and Ace lost her mind for a moment.
"Ah, it hurts······" Ace realized that he and her had been penetrated by autumn water.
Those inexplicable memories came to his heart, although Ace didn't understand why he was held so affectionately, he couldn't help but look at the girl in front of him who woke up because of his up, his eyes were facing each other, he wanted to say something but couldn't say it, and his throat seemed to be choked by something.
"Well, I'm sorry, I don't know, what's going on······" There was a faint ambiguity in the air, and Ace turned his face away in shame, trying not to let the other party see the embarrassment on his face, but he didn't want to pull the wound on his chest.
"Hehe, little brother, you are still as innocent as ever." Although Lilith's eyes were a little gloomy, they were more of a surprise, she took a deep breath, suppressed the tears in the corners of her eyes, and closed her eyes gently, "It's okay, it's not your fault, not to mention that I don't know how many male dogs are lying on me in this life, you don't have to care about it at all." ”
As she spoke, Lilith pulled out the autumn water from the bodies of the two with one hand, and suddenly the blue light poured out, and the wound recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the huge blood hole in Ace's chest disappeared in a blink of an eye, and at the same time, Lilith took two steps back, as if she was enduring some great pain, and in the faint purple flames rising from behind her, three golden fox tails bloomed like flowers, slowly turning into gold that filled the heavens and the earth, and returned to nothingness.
"Only one last one left?" Lilith's face was a little gloomy, probably because she didn't use her abilities for herself, but the price was inevitable······
"Forget it, since it's come to this point, it doesn't matter." She stretched out her hand, and a pure purple flame jumped out of her palm like an elf, levitating in the air, exuding an awe-inspiring chill, as if to freeze everything in the world, the fire reflected her eyes, but she couldn't see the look in it.
"Are you satisfied?" Lilith turned her head and slowly straightened her messy hair.
"Uh, sorry······" Seeing this scene, Ace naturally understood that the woman in front of her handed over her three lives in order to save herself.
And it's not just Lilith, after taking over Qiushui, Ace actually noticed that Qiushui, who could easily get in touch before, was lying quietly in his palm, and there was no response, which can only mean that Heiyan is really ······
Thinking of this, Ace felt even more sad in his heart.
"Can you tell me why you are so reluctant to be king······
Wiping away the tears that flowed inadvertently from the corners of her eyes, Lilith's snow-white skin trembled slightly, she asked herself if she had been planning for Ace for a long time, but in exchange for such a result, all the previous efforts were all in vain, in the final analysis, should it be said that she did it herself?
"'King' is not so simple, even if I kill Whitebeard, I can't become the ······ of One Piece"
Ace's eyes darkened, he sighed slightly, with deep apologies and admiration, looking back at the dying white beard in the distance, but at this moment he smiled at his "resurrected" self, smiling so brightly, smiling so happily,—— it was a smile called relief.
"No, pirates shouldn't be just like that, the so-called 'One Piece' is just a result, an inconsequential result, we became pirates for something more important than onepiece, something that will fade over time but never fade from memory."
Ace suddenly grabbed her hand, tears dripping on the back of her hand, glittering with a crystal luster.
"We are pirates, and what we have should not only be powerful, but more importantly, the proud soul of the pirates!"
Lilith's back shook sharply, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
"Wow", Natsu on the side has long been unable to hold back, tears are falling, an arrow rushed into his arms and cried loudly, everything that happened before, it was too cruel for him, at this moment he saw his relatives "come back from the dead", for a while it was an indescribable ecstasy, Ace slowly hugged him, stroked his head over and over again, and then turned his gaze, the smile on the corner of his mouth had disappeared.
Faced with himself head-on before, the fire that was rushed into his body when he was distracted continued to rage everywhere, and Whitebeard's current body was full of holes, and after seeing himself come back to life, as if he was finally relieved, his body shook, he could no longer support it, and he collapsed like a mountain, and sat down on the ground.
Ace patted Natsu and ran to Whitebeard's side, seeing that the whites of his eyes were rolling and his mind was distracted, he knew that his time had come, and Lilith, the only one who could save his life, had no extra tail to renew Whitebeard's life at the moment, and his heart swelled up with inexplicable sadness, and he could only whisper, "Dead old man, I'm sorry, I didn't give you a fair duel when I was dying······"
Whitebeard smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "No need, your qualifications and understanding are rare in the world, if it was placed fifty years ago, hehe, I'm afraid Lao Tzu is not your opponent······ In this battle, none of us will take advantage. ”
When he said the last sentence, he suddenly coughed violently, and although Whitebeard's gestures were still majestic, his voice was getting lower and lower, and blood was gurgling from the wounds on his arms, and the blood marks rose and fell sharply with his breathing, and his vitality was undoubtedly losing rapidly.
"Lao Tzu has lived for more than 70 years, and he doesn't see anything, but my sons ······" Whitebeard's eyes were warm, and he held Ace's hand tightly, as if there was something unspeakable.
"They'll all be fine, really, they'll all be fine, I promise you." Hearing that Whitebeard was thinking about his godsons at the last moment of his life, Ace's tears finally couldn't help but welled up in his eyes, and he agreed again and again.
Whitebeard smiled slightly, as if he remembered something again, his tone became urgent, and he said in a trembling voice, "I have one more, one ······"
The sound was staccato and finally inaudible.
As for what else, Ace couldn't hear it after all, he was still holding Whitebeard's hand that was gradually turning cold, his mind was empty, as if he had a big dream, and in a trance, he only heard Natsu whispering beside him.
Whitebeard, dead!?
He went through a lot of hardships, and it took him two full years to come to him, and now he finally got Whitebeard's recognition, but at this moment, Whitebeard was directly killed by him, and the hard work of the past two years has become so ethereal and insignificant at this moment.
Just when Ace was at a loss, Natsu, who had been whispering beside him, tugged at his shirt and pointed to the distance with one hand, as if to tell Ace the Black Flame Pirates where they are now.
And so on······ Natsu!?
Natsu is a dragon fruit powerhouse, although its ability itself comes from the Devil Fruit, but Arkham was able to use his genetic samples to create two dragons, and it can be seen that his blood does contain the magical power of the legendary dragon.
Dragon's Blood ······
Ace was suddenly shocked, and gradually recalled those legendary brave stories, and was suddenly pleasantly surprised, and a bold and crazy idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Natsu, give him a blood transfusion."
Bathing in dragon blood, is a very strong color in countless legendary myths, which naturally has a great danger, that is, the human body is completely unable to resist the transformation of dragon blood, but Whitebeard is different, he is the common crystallization of the giant race and humans, is the greatest creation of nature, if there are really people in this world who can withstand the transformation of dragon blood, then there is no one more qualified than Whitebeard!
What will be the result of the giant's body and the dragon's blood?
At least, it won't be worse than an "ancient weapon" or something!
