Chapter 150 Still Alive
The man who prostrated himself before Kunikida Dopo and Yosano Akiko had shining golden hair and neat but slightly messy clothes, which was completely different from the two miserable guys they rescued.
Yoseno Akiko frowned, "Of course I will save them. You don't need to tell me. Why don't you tell me who you are first?" Then she turned to Kunikida and said, "Kunikida, give me a knife."
The boy was also seriously injured, with various injuries, and there seemed to be signs of poisoning on his body. The most serious thing was not the physical injuries, but that his spirit seemed to have collapsed and he was completely unable to respond to the outside world.
In other words, they can't even muster the will to survive.
His body and mind have reached their limits, and it would be difficult to save him even if he is taken to the hospital.
However, this still does not meet the requirement to activate her special ability - near death.
Maybe it's just a tiny bit short.
"Oh, okay." Kunikida Doppo quickly wrote on his notebook and tore it off with a scalpel to activate his special ability. The paper turned into a metal knife in his hand.
While keeping her special ability activated, she and Akiko Yosano were preparing to find a place to cut. However, just when she found the right place and was about to cut, her special ability was activated without any warning.
She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
It was a close call, really. If the treatment had been delayed just a little bit, he would have been on the verge of death.
Soon, the treatment for the supernatural power was over, but both Ace and the black-haired boy with a straw hat tied on the back of his neck still maintained their original appearance.
Kunikida Dobu wondered, "What's going on with them? It doesn't look like their abilities aren't working."
"no."
Ace's condition was not as clear as that of Yosano Akiko, but the condition of the other person was very obvious. "This kid must have suffered too much of a blow, and his body was on the verge of collapse. The combination of these two factors crushed his spirit. Now his body has recovered, but his brain is still unable to perceive the outside world, so this situation has occurred."
"What should we do?" Kunikida Doppo could tell that this strange boy must be someone related to Ace, and they should have a close relationship.
Yoseno Akiko patted his face and said, "Hey, wake up, Ace is still alive."
But the straw hat boy still didn't react.
and frowned with Akiko Xie.
In this case, it would be best to give him some stimulation, such as Ace waking up and calling him. This would be the best situation. From their current postures, it is clear that the boy's current situation is related to Ace. If Ace does not wake up himself, even if someone whispers in his ear that Ace is still alive, the boy's brain probably will not receive this information.
"Well...let me try it?"
The blond young man kneeling on the ground raised his head and looked at them. Only then could they see his face clearly.
The most striking feature on his face is probably the scar that goes across his entire left eye and looks like a burn. It is so eye-catching that Yosano Akiko and Kunikida Dopo noticed the scar instead of his appearance at first glance.
The young man's behavior just now has made the two people guess that the other party has a close relationship with the two patients in Xie Ye's hands, but it is impossible to let him get close to her. Xie Ye Akiko will not let people with suspicious identities approach her patients.
"Tell me who you are first." Said to Yosano Akiko.
"They and I are brothers!" the blond young man said immediately.
Yoseno Akiko glanced at the two black-haired ones at her hand, then looked at the golden hair on the young man's head, raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Then you really don't look like them."
"The three of us are sworn brothers." He explained, then raised his hands and walked to the position facing the straw hat boy. "Is it okay if I don't get close to you?"
After a brief thought, Yosano Akiko nodded: "Then you try it."
After getting the nod, the blond young man focused all his attention on the two ignorant people. With a deep breath, he said loudly: "Luffy! I'm Sabo! I'm still alive! Can you hear me? Me! Sabo! I'm still alive! Ace is not dead either! Wake up for me!!"
Kunikida Doppo was keeping an eye on Sabo, while Yosano Akiko was paying attention to her patient, so she noticed immediately any movement of the patient.
However, the movement was so small that she only saw the boy named Luffy's mouth, which had been wide open, slightly closed - a very small movement, but there was still movement.
Yoseno Akiko's brows relaxed slightly and she instructed, "Continue."
After hearing the doctor's instructions, Sabo did not dare to stop and immediately continued: "Luffy! Wake up and take a good look! Ace's wound has healed, he just hasn't woken up yet!"
"Sa...Sabo...Ace..."
Luffy made an indistinct sound from his open mouth.
"Yes! I'm Sabo! Ace and I are still alive! I, I'm so sorry... It wasn't until just now... I didn't remember that you were my brothers until I saw you guys just now..." As he spoke, tears couldn't be stopped from flowing from his eyes, and tears flowed all over his body. "I'm such an asshole! I actually forgot about you for so many years! If I had remembered earlier, if -"
"roar--!!"
"What's that sound!?"
Sabo looked up and said in surprise: "Is this... a dragon?"
Within a few minutes, a bright fire flashed in the distant sky and moved towards the tornado in the sky in the shape of a tornado.
"What is that? A user with the ability of fire?" Kunikida Dopo guessed with a frown.
Sabo's heart moved slightly. As far as he knew, the purest fire power user was Ace. But considering that he appeared here inexplicably, and Luffy and Ace, who were supposed to be on the battlefield of the top battle, also appeared here, he was a little unsure about what was going on.
Besides, Ace is right in front of them now, so the person with the fruit ability in the sky naturally cannot be Ace.
Kunikida Doppo beside him had used his special ability to transform a telescope into something and looked up at the sky. Then he put the telescope down with a complicated expression and glanced at Ace on Luffy with a bit of confusion, "The flame in the sky is indeed Mr. Ace's."
Not only Mr. Ace, but also the leader of the Port Mafia, Chuuya Nakahara, was there too. It's just that his special ability was manifested in red, and the dragon's was also red. They couldn't tell from below that Chuuya Nakahara was also using his special ability.
Sabo was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Ace who was still asleep: "But, hasn't he always been here?"
Yosano Akiko had already taken the telescope from Kunikida Doppo and used it to look at it herself.
"It's really Ace."
Sabo: ???
He couldn't help but look at the telescope in Yoseno Akiko's hand, "Can you lend it to me?"
Akiko Xieno handed it to him, and Sabo immediately took it and looked near the dragon. He followed the trail of fire and saw Ace on top of the dragon.
He took the telescope away from his eyes, rubbed his eyes and looked again, then he was sure that he was not seeing things with a look of "Shit, it's really Ace" on his face.
Sabo took another look at Luffy who was in a daze before he reacted. With the permission of Yosano Akiko, he approached Luffy, turned his head, and put the telescope next to his eyes.
Luffy suddenly stretched out a hand and held the telescope himself, "A, Ace..."
"Well, he's still alive." Sabo's voice finally calmed down.
Luffy's brain finally started to work. He put down the telescope, looked at Sabo, then looked at Ace who was pressing on him, and his brain stopped working again.
"Sabo, you are still alive..."
Just as Sabo was about to nod in response, he heard Luffy continue, "Ace is still alive! How come there are two Aces?"
Sabo: “…”
Ah, I don’t know the answer to this question either?
Once his brain was back to normal and his body was restored to full health, Luffy suddenly became full of energy again, "Sabo! Let's go help Ace catch the dragon!"
Sabo: "......? Shouldn't we first ask Ace what's going on?"
"Never mind! Let's go help Ace catch the dragon first!"
Without even waiting for Sabo to react, he pushed Ace on himself towards him, swung his hands, and swung his arms far away, grabbing the eaves of the shops on both sides, and ran a long distance in the opposite direction. Then he bounced onto a nearby high-rise building, ran very quickly to the roof of the tallest building nearby, and repeated the bounce into the sky again, this time directly grabbing a section of the dragon's body.
Kunikida Dopo's eyes widened. "What kind of supernatural power is this?"
"Luffy is the user of the Rubber Fruit ability." Sabo explained as he helped Ace No. 1 who seemed to have become a vegetable.
Kunikida Doppo didn't understand what the fruit in the middle was, but he understood the rubber, and it was consistent with the characteristics that Luffy just showed. Although this ability to turn his body into rubber is ridiculous.
Ace No. 2 and Nakahara Chuuya above have different opinions. Ace wants to catch a dragon as a mount, but Nakahara Chuuya thinks that this thing can't be trained as a mount at all, so he might as well just kill it. Suddenly, a loud shout comes from behind: "Ace - are you going to catch a dragon -?"
They both paused and looked back at the same time.
The boy in the straw hat smiled foolishly, wrapped his arms around the dragon several times, and his hands appeared like threads, waving at them.
Nakahara Chuuya turned his head and looked at Ace: "Do you know him?"
Ace smiled brightly and proudly: "He is my brother!"
"He's the brother you've been talking about."
Nakahara Chuuya sighed with a slightly subtle expression. If for no other reason, his train of thought matched Ace's train of thought precisely, and he didn't believe that they were not a family.
And to be honest, he always felt that he saw the shadow of Verlaine in Ace, which was unlucky.
Ace was already greeting his brother, "Yo, Luffy!"
Seeing Luffy looking energetic and vigorous, Ace thought that this was his younger brother who had died a long time ago. He never imagined that the other party had just been sent here from the battlefield of the Battle of Marineford.
"Ace! I saw Sabo! He's alive! He's down there right now!"
The expression on Ace's face suddenly went blank.
"You mean...Sabo?"
