Chapter 3 You have a fever
A person with special abilities? Do you mean a person with special abilities like the Devil Fruit?
He didn't say "special ability user", but he still understood the "ability user" part. Ace smacked his lips and replied: "I am a yaki yaki fruit ability user."
[Hmm... someone with the ability to control fire? ]
Due to the difference in worldview, Mori Ogai, like Ace, only understood the meaning of the noun, but had no idea what it meant. At least before he realized that Ace came from another world, he would never have thought that eating a strange-looking fruit with a strange taste could give him special abilities.
【Um.】
After a while, Mori Ougai asked again: [Only the ability to control fire? ]
He still felt that Ace's possession and control of his body was the result of his supernatural powers.
[Well, I heard that if you have two abilities at the same time, your body will explode. ]
[Is there such a saying? ]
[I haven't seen it, but all people with special abilities only have one ability, so this statement should be true.]
Although the Devil Fruit is known as the treasure of the sea, it is also very expensive on the black market. For those who are truly capable, it is not particularly difficult to obtain. Moreover, I heard that someone in the Navy has already artificially produced the Devil Fruit. If one person could really eat two Devil Fruits, the Navy would have already conducted mass testing.
After the water boiled, Ace cooled it down a little, drank a few big gulps, and then lay back down on the bed.
His stomach was still aching. All the pains Ace had experienced in the past were caused by external injuries. This was the first time that the pains came from eating too much and then exercising too much. Food had always been a pleasure to him before!
He couldn't help but complain again: [You are so weak, Mr. Ouwai.]
Mori Ogai: [……]
After all, who would jump up and down right after eating so much? Is this a problem with his body? From a medical point of view, with the way you torture yourself, a normal person would have the same consequences!
Sen Ouwai had a vague feeling that if Ace continued to torture himself like this, it wouldn't be long before his body fell apart, and by then he wouldn't have to think about how to drive this strange guy away.
Suddenly, his eyes darkened and he heard a slight groaning sound in his ears.
Mori Ogai: [……]
Fell asleep just like that? He fell asleep too quickly. He was so careless. Shouldn't someone from the Labo Street be more alert?
No, he didn't necessarily come from Ray-Bow Street. He remembered the "Wano Country" that Ace had mentioned before. At first, he thought that Wano Country referred to Japan, because he remembered it when he saw Japanese specialty food, and the name "Izo" mentioned at the same time also had a strong Japanese flavor.
Moreover, the main population of Japan is the Yamato people, so there is nothing wrong with calling it Wano Country, not to mention that Ace is a foreigner.
But now think about it, this is too unreasonable.
Even foreigners would not call Japan like this, not to mention that Ace seemed to have been in Japan for quite some time. Besides, it was also strange that Ace asked the waiter whether there were any major events recently and whether he knew "Kaido".
For the former, if he wanted to ask about some major events that happened in the underground world, which would not be known to ordinary people - although the information of the Port Mafia also belongs to the underground world, the previous leader's actions were too big some time ago, so it is not surprising that people in the surface world know about it - he should not ask in ordinary hotels, but in more mixed places such as bars and casinos. Therefore, the major events he asked about should be things that everyone may know.
As for the latter, Kaido should be a person's name, but it is also possible that it is a place name. However, since Ace asked the waiter, it means that he thought the waiter should know or might know it. This is also information that an ordinary person can know, and Kaido is quite well-known.
But this is inconsistent with reality.
In addition to the intelligence network controlled by Mori Ou and the intelligence network of the port mafia, there has never been such a person.
——Portgas D. Ace's perception of his environment was wrong.
This meant that his previous guess that Ace was born in Raymond Street was completely wrong.
Mori Ougai began to reflect on why he had only figured out such a simple thing now.
...Well, maybe it's because what this weird guy Ace did easily distracted his attention.
But why?
The fact that it can reside in his body in this way may be the result of his special ability, but it is not certain. Ace may have more than one special ability. This possibility is small, but it is not impossible; if it is due to the special ability of others, then the purpose is questionable.
Judging from Ace's performance, he doesn't know the reason for the current situation. If this situation is caused by other people with special abilities and they have some ulterior motives, then that person will eventually show up. There is no need to rush. He has the patience to wait.
If he is not a person with special abilities... First of all, we have to rule out the possibility that Ace is an artificial intelligence with memories that are different from reality set by researchers. Mori Ogai himself is very vigilant, and no one can make him accept that another consciousness has been implanted in his brain and that he can control his own body.
The effect of mutation of superpowers is possible, and the person with superpowers may not even be aware of it when they first mutate; but the effect of superpower characteristics is unlikely, because they are extremely unstable and uncontrollable, and carry huge energy, which basically affects the balance of the environment and causes an imbalance of power. In short, they are situations that will cause huge destructive consequences.
As he was thinking about it, Sen Ouwai suddenly felt a little cold in his chest and stomach.
He stopped to think for a moment. After closing his eyes, Mori Ouwai, who could not see anything, belatedly recalled that Ace fell asleep on the bed without even thinking of covering himself with a quilt. Moreover, when he went out, he was wearing a thin white shirt, which was completely open!
No wonder my stomach and chest feel a little cold_(:зゝ∠)_
Thinking of my own proper sleeping posture, and looking at Ace who was standing still and had no intention of covering himself with the quilt, I couldn't help but feel a little sad.
[Ace-kun? Ace-kun? Ace-kun!] Morio made a noise, trying to wake Ace up.
But Ace seemed to be immune to his voice. He turned over and mumbled a few times, showing no intention of waking up.
Mori Ogai: [……]
He endured it with frustration, and shouted loudly without caring about his image: [Ace-kun! Portgas D. Ace!!]
However, no one paid any attention to him. Ace even grabbed the pillow from the hospital bed and pressed it against his head.
Mori Ogai: [……]
It's numb.
Today was really terrible. Not only did I encounter this matter that I didn't know how to investigate, but I also forgot to ask Ace to inform the people of the Port Mafia that the new leader disappeared on the first day of the leadership change. It will definitely be a mess when he goes back tomorrow. And with this cool sleeping posture, it's hard to say whether he can go back tomorrow.
Mori Ouwai sighed deeply, deeply.
…
The next morning, Ace woke up before six o'clock.
This was different from his usual waking time, and when he woke up, his head was groggy and a little bloated, and his breathing was a little difficult. He lay on his back in bed for a while, then asked in a hoarse and confused voice: "Mr. Ouwai, are you awake?"
Mori Ougai was also silent, but he did not hesitate and said first: [You can talk to me without your mouth. ]
【……oh.】
【First, get out of bed and reheat the cold water. 】
Ace got out of bed and did as he was told. Mori Ogai then calmly instructed: "Then, go back to bed, cover yourself with the quilt, and keep yourself occupied."
Ace lay back on the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and asked, "Mr. Ouwai, what's wrong with me?"
[…Can’t you feel it yourself?] Mori Owl looked speechless. The symptoms are so obvious, and you still can’t tell that you have a cold? And judging by the severity of your headache, it’s obvious that you have a fever.
The feeling of having a fever is very uncomfortable, probably because they share the same body. Even though Mori Ougai is not in control of the body, he can feel all the bad feelings in the body.
It has come to this point, and Mori Ougai suspected that his body might be approaching a high fever stage.
well.
Moriogai, who still couldn't control his body after waking up, was calm. He felt that if Ace continued to treat his body like this, he would really die soon.
He reminded: [Touch your forehead.]
Ace touched it and asked: [What's wrong? ]
Sen Ogai felt the unusual temperature with his hands and asked, "Don't you think it's a little hot?"
[It's okay, isn't it normal?] Ace was confused.
In the past, he was a user of the Burning Fruit, and he was a ball of fire, so his body temperature was naturally higher than others. When he touched it now, it felt the same as usual, and he didn't feel anything unusual.
Mori Ogai, who had anticipated what would happen yesterday, sighed deeply. He realized that if he didn't say it directly, the other party wouldn't know what he wanted to say, so he had to say it directly: [Ace, you have a fever.]
Ace was shocked when he heard this, and said in disbelief: [No way? I haven't had a fever for at least three years! ]
Yes, for the same reason. After eating the Shao Shao fruit, he became a ball of fire. How could he catch a cold and have a fever? Even before he ate the Shao Shao fruit, he often ran around in the mountains and fought with wild animals such as crocodiles in the forest. His body was very healthy and he rarely got sick.
Mori Ogai: [……]
Think about what you did yesterday! You are not feverish even though you are like this, do you think I am a superman! ?
