"Tie him up outside for me, sober up!"

Dadan shook his hand angrily and ordered to his subordinates on the side.

"Yes, Boss!".

The bandits hurriedly ran out and held down Ace, who was about to move, and tied him to the big tree outside the house.

"Let go of me!" The young man, who had completely lost his mind and looked like a crazy little beast, struggled desperately, and roared hoarsely at Dadan. "I don't need you to take care of my business, get out of here!"

Dadan unexpectedly calmed down, and regardless of whether what he said was listened to by the young man, he lightly threw down a sentence and went back to the house: ".... Ace, you need to be calm. ”

The boy was still roaring, but no one paid any attention to him.

Phantom Moon, who had been silently witnessing everything on the side, suddenly let out a long sigh, and the crazy thoughts that had originally risen were shattered into powder with Dadan's words. The hand that had grasped the hilt of the knife loosened weakly and fell to the side.

"Let's go." With heavy legs, Bai Yan, who had been silent, suddenly walked over and patted Luffy on the shoulder. The silver hair seemed to have dimmed, and the pale gray pupils looked at the phantom moon with great calm. "We all know what we're doing."

Everyone's hearts are mirrored. Strength is their most fatal weakness.

"Alright, let's all go back to sleep!" Dadan commanded the crowd with a tough attitude. Although he was extremely upset by Luffy's crying, Dadan still acquiesced to this act of venting. The death of Sabo hit Luffy too hard, and any persuasion and comfort at this time was useless, so Luffy could only slowly recover himself.

Everybody slept, everybody didn't.

The night was getting deeper, but Luffy's crying did not stop, the intermittent sobbing echoed in the night sky, and you could faintly hear the sound of leaves falling to the ground from the trees outside the house and the roaring voice of the teenager.

Sleepless nights

"Are you sober? Ace. ”

Early in the morning, Dadan, who had a faint dark circle under his two eyes, came out of the house, saw Ace, who had regained his senses, and slowly took a puff of the cigarette in his mouth.

“。。。 Luffy, how are they? ”

Ace, who was no longer struggling, was silent for a while, at this time he was no longer crazy last night, and his whole person was calm and terrifying. The wrist had been strangled with a tough hemp rope, and the first thing the gray-faced young man thought of was not himself, but the group of younger brothers and sisters who gave him a headache.

Luffy had been crying and had just fallen asleep. Bai Yan hasn't woken up yet. As for Phantom Moon," Dadan kicked the leaves that had been shaken off the tree by the boy, his tone full of helplessness. "She hid in the house by herself, not knowing what she was doing."

Hearing this, Ace couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Is it...."

"Goo." Just as Dadan was about to speak, a carrier pigeon flew down from the sky and landed on the grass not far from the two of them, instantly drawing their attention.

"What is this?" The little thief untied the letter tied to the pigeon's feet with a puzzled expression, and after seeing the crooked handwriting on the letter, he suddenly raised the letter and yelled at the boy: "This is a letter written by Sabo!" ”

“!” Ace's originally calm face suddenly became a little hideous, and the fact that he had finally forced himself to forget was deeply rooted in his mind. Taking a deep breath, the boy's nails dug into the flesh of his palm: "... Give it to me, and I won't lose control again. ”

Dardan glanced at Ace, who was pretending to be calm, motioned for the people around him to untie him, and handed him the letter.

Looking at the words "To the brothers of Kopodol Mountain" written on the cover, Ace's breathing became heavier and heavier, and he clutched the letter in his hand and walked into the jungle alone.

The sun that had fully risen sprinkled some fine pieces of sunlight through the dense foliage, gently kissing the white letterhead, and at the same time illuminating the handwriting on the letterhead:

The fire at the waste terminal should be okay with you, right? I was shocked and went out to look for you and was caught again. I haven't been able to save you myself, but I'm sure you'll be fine. Besides, Phantom Moon is also very strong, although she is very upset why her sister is better than her brother, but with her, you will definitely be fine.

.

Along the path in the woods, the black-haired boy read the words on the letter paper word by word, his fingers slightly pressing, crumpling the folds of the paper. The broken hair on his forehead slightly blocked the view in front of him, casting a shadow on the letterhead.

.

One by one, for some special reasons, I decided to go to sea before you, and although you will definitely be unhappy to break the agreement, I don't want to stay in that cage for any longer. Ace, you're going to blow up, aren't you? Haha, but it's too late. I decided that I was going to sea tomorrow. By the time you read this letter, I should have been on the vast ocean.

.

Say it one by one, who is the big brother between me and you? We haven't been able to tell the winner yet, have we? Two older brothers..... A younger sister and two younger brothers, it's a little strange to think about. But these days with you are my most precious treasure, and I will never forget them.

.

Flying all the way, that guy is very timid and loves to cry. It's really worrying. But that guy can't even beat Luffy... I'm leaving, and this mess is going to be thrown at you, Ace, you must be very distressed, right? And Phantom Moon, although she is very strong, but in terms of common sense in life, she is as simple as a blank piece of paper, that guy won't be able to tell the difference between sugar and salt after I'm gone, right? You have to take a good look at her...

.

Ace read and read, and walked to the precipice where they had sworn their dreams, and a wisp of wind quietly passed the young man's ear, and mischievously blew his hair fluttering. The scene is exactly the same as it was at the beginning, but some people will never come back.

.

Although they are very troublesome in Phantom Moon, they are our younger brothers and sisters after all. So, please, Ace!

..........

After reading the last word on the letter, the black-haired boy finally couldn't hold back the sadness in his heart, raised his head, and a string of water droplets fell on the verdant grass.

"Woo woo .

Even in the face of death, he almost died in the sea of fire. The young man, who had never shed a single tear in front of everyone, couldn't cry at this time, regardless of how embarrassed he was now, his voice echoed in the sky, lingering for a long time.

You said you want me to take care of them, but where are you now??
