Chapter 22: Let's Get Married

"Time flies so fast······" Yuna looked at the golden patches of the rising sun and sighed slightly, "The one-month deadline has come like this, and maybe, this time it will be the last sunrise." ”

Thinking of this, she turned her head and cast her afterglow on Ace, who was lying in a clearing, facing the blue sky, the afterglow of the morning sun shining on his face, and the eyes that looked at the golden sun without blinking, seemed to be glowing with the same warm breath, turning lightly.

He was indeed stronger than before, stronger than he had been a week ago, and Yuna had no doubt that almost from the moment she knew him, his strength had been climbing in a blowout, endlessly, as if there was no end.

"What are you feeling?"

"Nothing, it's just······ It's been two years. ”

A gentle voice came from in front of him, Ace bowed his head slightly, and the girl with a slender figure and a sweet and calm face was particularly moving in the reflection of the morning sun.

"yes, it's been two years, time flies." Ace smiled and beckoned to Yuna, she walked over obediently, snuggled in her arms, feeling the softness of the girl's body in her arms, Ace smiled slightly, and secretly carried fire under her feet, the hot and restrained heat penetrated into the ice, and the solid ice floe under Ace's feet suddenly melted into a small hot spring pool.

"The temperature is just right······" Yuna took off her shoes directly, raised her bare feet, happily poked her jade feet into the warm water, and took a deep breath of the fresh sea breeze, "If other natural abilities know that you use your abilities like this, you will probably be angry to death." ”

"Hehe······" The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Ace, you······ Why do you like to fight so much? Yuna curled up comfortably, pillowed Ace's arm, and complained softly, her tone mixed with a little confusion. Again and again, again and again, from the East China Sea to the New World, from an unknown pawn to a famous sea thief······ Of all the people she knew, Ace was probably the one with the strongest and clearest will to hold on to her dreams.

Perhaps, this is the reason why I fell in love with him in the first place, and it is really a very happy thing to face life so clearly and live without regrets.

"It's just a simple liking." Ace rubbed his chin against the other party's hair, greedily sniffing the fragrance on the hair, "I like to fight, I like the feeling of wanton youth and sweat when fighting, constantly fighting with the strong, and constantly breaking through the existing level, isn't this the 'freedom' I have been looking for?" ”

"Don't you feel happy like you are now?" Yuna wrapped her arms around Ace, her lips were close to Ace's ears, the faint fragrance made him a little uneasy, and she whispered, "I'm already very happy to be held by you now." ”

"I know." Ace's body froze suddenly, and then an inexplicable warm current rose from his heart, thinking about the bits and pieces with the Yiren in his arms, he smiled and nodded, and then shook his head again, "But I'm not satisfied with this, please forgive me for not being able to maintain the only loyalty to love, because, I still have dreams!" ”

Ace stood up from the ground suddenly, and his strong and powerful arms hugged the petite body of the slightly stunned girl, and hugged him tightly, as if he wanted to make up for a regret and never want to let go.

"That's why I'm always running away, Bonnie is like that, Connice is like that, and so is Shirahoshi······ It's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare, I'm always worried that if I die in the battle with others one day, will they come back crying, will they not even want to help me avenge my life, will they go with me······ Not! ”

Before Ace could finish speaking, he was sealed by soft and green lips, almost indistinguishable from the first time, flustered, lacking skill, but full of love.

"I like to be a pirate, this world that has not been blinded by the so-called justice can be so beautiful, and pirates can also be flesh and blood, full of pride and a sense of justice, but it really makes me not want to leave this pirate territory······" The lips parted lightly, snuggling into each other's arms as usual, and the voice was full of tenderness.

"It's because I met you."

It used to be like a friend, it used to be a partner's like, and now it's a lover's like······ Perhaps, there is really no so-called pure friendship between men and women.

"I often have the feeling that you are always far away from me, is this jealousy? It's ridiculous, I will also have such emotions, because, no matter how strong I am, I am also a girl, girls will always be weak in the face of feelings, why can't you be more active! ”

As if to retain the warmth of the hug, hugging his body tightly, Ace's heart echoed with the same sad and regretful feeling, and he was stunned.

"I can see that Coness likes you too, you don't have to explain, you can see it······ And it's not just Conise, Bonnie's words, in fact, she is the person you should really like, I snatched you away while she was away, maybe we both have problems, so ······"

She was trembling, a heavy psychological burden, and finally Yuna said something vagantly, her eyes were red, tears were rolling, Yuna cried lowly, but she endured it and didn't let the tears fall.

"Nothing so!"

The pale smile of the girl in his arms made Ace tremble, and in its place was a rare distress, and under the impetus of this feeling, he stepped forward, and his soft lips were imprinted on the other's lips.

This is the first time Ace has taken the initiative to kiss a girl.

Yuna, who was kissed painfully, shouted subconsciously, and then came back to her senses, her face turned red for a moment, and her tone was a little stammering, but with irrepressible joy, "You, what are you doing." ”

"Kissing, boyfriend and girlfriend should be like this, right?" Ace said so naturally, "Like you said, as a boy, I can just take the initiative." ”

"You don't understand at all."

"I don't understand, I don't understand, I've never found it troublesome to feel emotional, but one thing I know better than anyone else, I like you, I like you very much······ No, it should be that I love you, I love you very much, I love you more than anyone else. ”

Looking at the other party's beautiful face that was full of surprise, Ace's tone became more and more firm, "I love you, then, do you love me?" ”

Yuna looked at Ace in front of her blankly, the distance between herself and him had never been so close, tears suddenly fell, she hugged each other, hugged each other tightly, as if all the emotions that were deeply precipitated in her heart were completely released, as if she wanted to dry all the tears of grievance together, feeling the strong love from the other party's body, Ace also slowly hugged her, more enthusiastic than any previous time.

"After fighting Whitebeard, let's get married as long as we survive."

At the time of the sunrise, which was filled with infinite warmth, Ace made such a vow to the girl.

"From now on, we will be together anywhere, whether we will continue to look for onepiece, whether it is traveling the world, we will always be together, and we will never be separated again until the day when we are too old to move."

Yuna was stunned, and the tears gushing out of her vision blurred her vision again.
