Chapter Twenty-Six: The Oath
Although I really want to confess, I still have to continue to hide it...
Even if she inevitably had to show her stuffing in the end, she still wanted to delay the coming of that day as much as possible, and put it off a little more.
A trace of confusion crossed Phantom Moon's eyes, and the hand under the sleeve slowly clenched into a fist.
The other side
"Ahem, put. Let go of me, I say. Sabo on the side was finally pinched by Ace Luffy until he couldn't breathe, and he barely squeezed out a few words from between his teeth intermittently.
Ace Luffy immediately let go of his hand, and the inquiring eyes of the three swept over a certain golden retriever.
Sabo, who was finally able to breathe freely, gasped for breath quickly, and after a while, the blonde boy's eyes became very tangled, and finally spoke: "Actually... I am the son of a nobleman. ”
The three of them shouted in unison: "The son of a noble?!" ”
"Who?"
"Me!"
Immediately after that, Ace Luffy raised his hand and picked his nostrils indifferently, and replied with an indifferent face: "So what? ”
Bai Yan couldn't help but hold his forehead, and in the end, Ace was assimilated by Luffy...
"You asked me!" Sabo couldn't help but roar with shark fangs.
"Actually, my parents are still alive, I am not an orphan, and I didn't grow up in a waste terminal." Sabo bowed his head. "It was my father who stopped me today. I'm sorry... I lied to you. ”
The three of them were silent for a while, and Bai Yan was the first to react, smiling indifferently: "What, so that's the case." ”
For him, it doesn't matter at all whether Sabo is the son of a nobleman or not, they are friends, aren't they.
"Well, he's apologized, so forgive him." The nervous Luffy laughed stupidly.
Only Ace turned around and stared at the sea level with his eyes firmly on the sea: "Even if that's the case, I can't understand why I came here even though I'm from a noble family?" ”
"Because!" Sabo suddenly raised his head and yelled, "I ran away from home... There's a reason for that! ”
The blonde boy slowly told all about what happened to him before, and then said very decisively: "I'm sorry for lying to you, but for me, even if I have a family, I'm alone!" ”
"They need people who can benefit them. And not me! ”
"So, Ace, Luffy, Shiraku, Phantom Moon," Sabo suddenly stood up and announced loudly to the other four, "One day, we must leave this country, become a pirate, and have an adventure on the vast sea to enjoy freedom!" ”
"I don't need you to say that kind of thing, I'll do it." Ace grinned and raised a big smile. "I will go to sea, become a sea thief, win all the time, let everyone know my reputation, that is the proof of my life!"
The waves crashed against the rock wall, and the loud voice of the boy echoed in the sky, telling the vows of his heart.
Luffy, who was affected by Ace Sabo, also rushed to the cliff on a whim, took a deep breath and yelled at the sea: "I, one by one"
Just as everyone was waiting for Luffy's next words, Luffy suddenly turned his head and laughed stupidly at the four of them.
"I thought you were going to say something... The three of them complained in unison.
"Brother Bai Yan, what about you?" Luffy's curious eyes fell on Bai Yan's body. "Are you going to be a pirate with us?"
Bai Yan was slightly stunned, and then smiled gently: "Ah, since that's the case, then I'll follow you and watch you realize your dreams." ”
He doesn't have any goals himself, but he has no regrets about watching them achieve their dreams.
"What?" Ace pouted boringly. "You're really perfunctory."
Bai Yan reached out and scratched his head when he heard this, and smiled at a few people.
Phantom Moon, who was still distracted on the side, found that she didn't know when the eyes of the other four people were focused on her, and she was a little uncomfortable staring at her.
"Phantom Moon, do you have any dreams?" Sabo smiled, revealing the tooth hole in his mouth.
The other three also stared at Phantom Moon with curious eyes.
Phantom Moon was stunned, dreaming...
What is that?
“。。。 No. Finding that he didn't have a so-called "dream" at all, Phantom Moon could only spit out two words weakly.
"No dreams?" Ace frowned.
"Won't it?" Saab was also puzzled.
"How is that possible?" Luffy couldn't help but roar.
"Phantom Moon, are you sure?" Bai Yan frowned.
Faced with the questions of Ace and the others, Phantom Moon suddenly remembered the days when she played with them before, a few months may not be worth mentioning in her long life, but it was the only day she felt warm in hundreds of years.
After staring at them for a long time, the girl suddenly raised her lips and smiled.
She seems to understand.
I think my dream is to protect you.
