good brother

"It's so naive, Angel."

Akainu looked at Angel in Ace's arms with a trace of hatred for iron.

"Do you really mean that a piece of sea building stone can stop me?"

At this time, Ace and Sabo also noticed Akainu's abdomen, where a scar was donating blood.

"Cough...cough..."

"Angel?!"

Angor opened his eyes in a daze at this time, coughing up blood and reluctantly smiled at Akainu.

"...I...Of course I didn't think...that I could limit how long I wish you...you will...will take out the Hailou Stone without hesitation..."

"...That's why...I thought...before you recover...take them to a farther place...but...it seems like I made a wrong choice..."

He smiled wryly.

"...if... just running on the ground... we might... be able to escape safely..."

"Angel stop talking!"

Ace shouted anxiously seeing Angor's distraught look.

"If I were you."

At this time, the red dog said lightly.

"It will directly take the opportunity to kill people to avoid future troubles."

"...Indeed...if we do that...we might all survive...but ah..."

Angor smiled slightly.

"...Because this kind of inaccurate thing directly deprives a person's life...that kind of thing...I can't do it..."

Indeed, Angel could sacrifice anyone for the future of his younger brothers without hesitation, but this kind of sacrifice never included life.

Maybe it's because I shed too many tears because of Ace's death in my previous life, Angel has an instinctive rejection of death.

Whether it was an acquaintance, a stranger, or an enemy, Angel had never directly killed anyone.

"That's why I said you were too naive."

Akainu frowned.

"Being kind to the enemy is being miserable to yourself. Since you chose to let me go, you must die here and everyone will be awakened."

"By now, all four of you brothers are enemies of the Navy."

"Don't even try to run away."

"Oops……"

Sabo whispered to Ace.

"Not to mention Luffy, Angel must not be able to withstand the vibration of the battle now."

"If you run away...the success rate is not high..."

Ace frowned.

"Hey, you guys, did you forget something?"

A blue flame was burning in front of the four brothers.

"Margo!"

"And the old man!"

Jinbe also came over and stood beside Ace.

"Jinbe..."

"And us!"

Ace watched the Whitebeard Pirates gather from all directions, keeping the four brothers behind them.

"you……"

"Stop staring, Ace."

Margo turned to Ace and smiled.

"Angel protected you, and at the same time protected the honor of the entire Whitebeard Pirates."

"He is an enemy of the navy for us, how can we let him go?"

"Go to the warship! Save Angel!"

"……Understood!"

Ace is not a hypocritical person, he hugged Angor and turned away after speaking. Sabo looked back at Margao and the others, pursed his lips, and followed Ace's footsteps.

Akainu will naturally not give up, but he also knows how powerful Margao is, and with the addition of Jinbei, it is basically impossible to bypass it in a short time.

However, with the current state of the four brothers, maybe there is no need for him to do it himself.

He squinted his eyes, waved his hands to the sides, and the hot magma rushed towards the ordinary pawns of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Not good! Run away!"

Under Margao's yelling, the Whitebeard Pirates quickly scattered and fled more lava, and almost no one was injured.

However, enough is enough.

The navy that was blocked by Whitebeard quickly passed the chaotic Whitebeard Pirates and directly approached the four brothers who were retreating.

"Oops!"

Margao turned around and wanted to go to support, but Akainu would not give him a chance, and stopped him with a punch.

"damn it!"

So, Margao simply stood firm, frowning and looking at Akainu.

"Jinping!"

"how?"

"Akainu must not be allowed to pass through here!"

Margaret said.

"If it's just generally the navy, other people can handle it, but the general..."

"It's just us..."

"The navy is coming!"

Sabo looked back at the approaching navy. Although many of them would be stopped by the Whitebeards, they obviously had no intention of fighting and came straight to their brothers with a clear goal.

Turning around and looking forward, there are still a few hundred meters away from the coast.

It's too late, Ace can't run fast now, he will be caught up!

"Ace!"

"Ok?"

"I can't go on like this! I will definitely be caught up!"

"What do you want to do?"

Ace asked.

"I'm going to stop the navy, you keep going!"

Sabo said, put Luffy on Ace's back, stretched his arm and tied a knot around Ace's neck.

"Don't refuse! My current state is better than yours!"

Sabo smiled, and looked at Angel who was in Ace's arms and looked at him silently.

"Angel, don't stop me. For so many years, I have dreamed of protecting you."

"I can't die in a battle of this level! I'll go back when you reach the shore!"

"Go!"

"……Understood!"

Ace nodded.

Indeed, it is only in this way that Angel can receive treatment as quickly as possible.

If there is no giving up, there will be no gain, not to mention that this is not giving up.

For Sabo, Ace has always believed in his strength.

Even if we don't see each other for ten years, this initial bond will not dissipate even a little bit.

"Go!"

Sabo yelled, turned around with a smile, held his water pipe, and faced dozens of wolf-like navies with a wanton smile.

"Dragon's Breath!"

"……sorry……"

"Eh?"

Ace looked at Angel who spoke suddenly in surprise.

"Why all of a sudden... no! Stop talking now! Save your energy!"

"...haha... If you don't say it now... maybe you won't have a chance..."

"I forbid you to say that!"

The last thing he wanted to face was Angor's ruthless disclosure of the facts, and the suppressed fear slowly struck, forcing Ace to stop Angor's next words with red eyes.

"Don't you hate liars the most! You promised that Luffy would not die! I won't let you die!"

"……Fool……"

Angel smiled and looked into Ace's eyes.

"...Did I...really promise..."

"Eh?"

Ace froze for a moment, and old memories slowly came to mind.

『Please, Ace, Angel...you must not die!』』

『“Listen up! Luffy! I won’t die!』』

And then... nothing...

Angel, he... didn't respond to Luffy's words at all.

He cleverly changed the topic, causing Ace to always think that they agreed to Luffy together.

"...you...from the beginning..."

Ace's voice trembled.

"... People... are very fragile..."

Angel said lightly.

"...natural disasters...man-made disasters...things that can kill a person...there are too many things in this sea..."

"...I...have already prepared...the resolution to die..."

"...to be honest...until yesterday...I didn't really...want to live..."

Angor smiled wryly.

"...It's ironic...I only wanted to live the day before...and left the next day..."

"No! You didn't come back and leave!"

Ace yelled and raised his head, instead of looking down at the bloodless Angel, he tried to speed up his pace.

"...Ace..."

Suddenly, Ace felt a drop of hot liquid dripping on his arm.

He lowered his head in surprise, looking at Angel's arm covering his eyes, and the two rows of crystal clear teardrops flowing out.

This is the first time Ace saw Angor's tears.

And my own heart that almost stopped beating, as if it had been pierced through.

"...I don't want to die!"
