"The flames spoke..." Luffy, who was pinned down by the big bird on the deck, stared at the flames curiously, and soon his attention returned to the big bird pressing him. The silver feathers were fading away, revealing Alicia's blank face and her hair turning pink again.

The return of her heart brought back Alicia's reason, and her dilated pupils refocused.

"……Luffy."

"Hey, what are you doing? You suddenly hit me, it hurts!" Luffy complained angrily, and was stunned when he saw Alicia's painful face. "Alicia?"

"It's so painful..." Alicia put one hand on Luffy's body and grabbed his chest with the other hand, "It's so painful, Luffy..."

"Chopper!" Luffy called out to Chopper in panic as he helped Alicia sit up.

"It's useless." Roger was suspended above the two of them. "Her pain is caused by the return of her heart and true feelings to her body. Even if the ship's doctor comes over, nothing can be done."

"No more..." Alicia clenched her fist tightly. The emotions that broke the barrier were surging. She opened her palm, but there was nothing there. "Luffy, it's gone. Ace's life card is gone..."

Dead silence fell on the Sonny. In the uncomfortable silence, Luffy held Alicia's head in his arms.

"Ah, Ace is dead."

"..." Alicia closed her eyes, but even so, tears continued to fall on her front. "I know, but, I really want to see him again..." She choked and stopped, opening her mouth wide and breathing rapidly, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't swallow back the cry. In the end, she just gave up on herself, lowered her head and cried, "I I really want to see Ace again...but, never, never again..."

Alicia's cries gradually disappeared, and Luffy took the person out of his arms only to find that the other person had stopped moving.

"Hey Flame, is Alicia okay?"

"It's very tiring to suddenly get your own heart back, but you don't have to worry too much. At least her emotions are vented. She has never shed a tear since she learned about Ace's death. She has been suppressing it until now. No wonder she is angry. Turning into irrational monsters left and right.”

"What's the point of getting your heart back?" Luffy asked.

"You don't have time to talk about this now, do you? Lingling's children are still chasing you." Roger floated unsteadily towards the bow of the ship, "Hahaha, but this number of enemies is really impressive."

"It's obviously just a flame, but it's so arrogant to get carried away. It's really annoying." Sanji puffed out smoke and looked at the enemy ship in front of him distractedly. Damn it, he really wanted to go see Alicia's condition, but with the enemy pestering him so much, he didn't even have the time to go.

At this moment, the members of the Sun Pirates broke out of the sea and attacked the enemy ships ahead. The fish people shouted to Jinbei on the Sonny with great momentum:

"We are here to see you off, Captain Jinbei! No, former captain!"

"The Sun Pirates will open up the new sea route for Jinbei!" Aladdin, the current captain of the Sun Pirate Ship, smiled and said, "Let's move forward! Jinbei! The current wave throws it over the shoulder with one hand -"

A road appeared on the sea, and a huge gap was opened in the circle of ships.

"Garrot! Help me pack the coke!"

"Okay! Nami!"

Although Alicia took care of Smoothie and Dafu as well as a large number of ships in the rear, the Queen Mother Anthem was carrying more Big Mom children. Jinbe couldn't leave his old friends of the Sun Pirates behind, so after explaining the situation to Luffy, he asked Luffy to allow him to return to the team later.

"I am already your captain!" Luffy said loudly while holding Alicia, "I will not stop the ship, we will wait for you in Wano Country! You must come!"

"Thank you very much!"

"Jinbei! You must live even if you die!"

Jinbei laughed and jumped into the sea without looking back.

"Luffy! The wind cannon is ready!"

The swaying sea surface reflected the firelight of the fierce battle. Luffy took a deep breath and shouted:

"Little ones! Go forward! Escape from the Ten Thousand Kingdoms!"

Under the wind and the cannon, the Sonny left the enemy far behind until it was out of sight. Except for Chopper, who was treating his friends conscientiously, everyone else collapsed on the deck from exhaustion. Luffy suppressed his exhaustion and stared at the sleeping Alicia.

"Flame, is Alicia really okay?"

"It's really okay...probably."

"Huh? Is something wrong or not? Let's make it clear!" Nami.

"You know she lost her heart before, right?"

"But you're back now, Heart?" Luffy.

"Ah, but when there is no heart, the little girl cannot sleep. It has been like this for two years. But how can a human being not sleep? It seems that there is no problem physically, but she is very tired mentally, so let her have a good rest Bar."

"That means Alicia will be fine as long as she takes a good rest." Luffy breathed a sigh of relief.

"It stands to reason."

"What happened to little Alicia's heart?" Sanji.

"It's better for her to answer this question herself. Since she chooses not to say it, I won't say it either."

"Now, let me ask you, are you the Homitz created by bigmom's power? That's why you can talk?" Nami.

"Hahaha, I'm not that kind of thing." Roger laughed, "I am -"

[Uncle Roger, I promised you in advance that if someone discovers that you are Gol D. Roger, in order to get rid of this big trouble, I will let you sleep forever. Don't look in disbelief, I can definitely do it. 】

The flames of the flames were moving violently, and they succumbed to the evil forces.

"I am Reg, a fire demon."

"Fire demon? I've never seen such a creature before. It sounds so powerful."

"You are the captain of the little girl, right?"

"Well, my name is Monkey D. Luffy, and I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King!"

"Monkey D? You are Garp's grandson, right? You want to become the Pirate King. You are really a brave boy."

"Eh? Do you know Grandpa? Why does Flame know Grandpa?" Luffy was full of curiosity, "Can you fart?"

"Let it go." Roger said and set a ball of fire.

"Hahahaha, it's so funny!" Luffy, who was laughing one second, was snoring the next second.

"But this is the first time I've seen Alicia look so fragile." Nami sighed and lay down on the deck. "The death of Ace must have been a big blow to her..."

"That's right..." Sanji flicked the cigarette ashes away, covered his eyes with his arms and gritted his teeth. He didn't want to see Alicia like that. Her breathing would become heavy and her heart would feel a dull pain. Sanji was wrapped in a feeling of powerlessness and wanted to do something for Alicia, but no matter what he did, it was inappropriate.

that's too bad...

Sanji sighed and stood up.

"Chopper, look outside, you can't let little Alicia sleep on the deck all the time. I'll take her to the health room."

"Eh? Oh. Leave it to me."
