The depressed Lucy drank the milk that Maginot had refilled for him and stood up to go to the bandit Dadan in the back mountain to find Luffy when Luffy's voice sounded from outside the bar:

"Ace, wait for me!"

"Don't follow me anymore!"

A familiar voice that Lucy had heard in the anime in her previous life sounded. When she heard this voice, Lucy knew that Ace and his brother Luffy had come to the bar. As expected, Ace, who was only nine years old, was the first to open the door of the bar and leave.

When Luffy came in, he was followed by the little follower Luffy. Looking at his brother, Luci felt like he didn't want to recognize him. But Luffy didn't want to deny his brother. Seeing the brother he hadn't seen for more than two years, he was so excited that he couldn't describe it.

He simply forgot about the fact that his brother had mysophobia and rushed towards Luci.

Looking at Luffy's dirty body, Lucy's mysophobia suddenly broke out, and her feet kicked Luffy away like a conditioned reflex. Ace, who saw his little follower being bullied, immediately stopped doing it and picked him up.

The iron rod in his hand pointed at Lu Xi and asked.

"Who told you, a navy man, to kick you off?"

"Oh! Do you want to avenge this dirty brat?"

Upon hearing Ace's question, Lucy's interest was suddenly piqued by Ace. She looked at Ace asking him with an intriguing look on his face. And Ace heard Lucy nonchalantly skip his question and ask him.

, Ace, who has always had a bad temper, was suddenly offended by Luci. He swung the iron rod in his hand and hit Luci. Luci looked at Ace's violent attack without any skills, and calmly stretched out his arms.

He reached out and caught Ace's iron rod with one hand. When Lucy took the iron rod, Ace stared at Lucy in shock, thinking that his attack, which could kill a beast with one blow, was actually unexpected.

The man in front of him immediately took it. Ace, sensing the danger, wanted to pull the iron rod out of Lucy's hand, but found that he had no strength to pull the iron rod out. Lucy looked at Ace

The little face that turned red from pulling the iron rod was suddenly amused by Ace, and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha... With your strength like this, kid, do you still want to avenge your friend?"

After speaking, Lucy flicked Ace's forehead with her finger. Ace immediately dropped the iron rod in pain and covered his forehead with a big lump and screamed. "Ah! It hurts!!!"

Luffy, who was kicked by Luci, woke up from his coma. Looking at Ace who was covering his head and screaming on the ground, Luffy, who was missing a muscle in his brain, shouted directly to everyone in the bar.

"Who hit Ace, stand up for me?"

Everyone who knew Luffy when they heard Luffy's arrogant shouting unanimously pretended not to hear it. Major Carlo, who didn't know Luffy, heard Luffy's arrogant shouting and stood up to teach Luffy a lesson, but was stopped by Luci's gesture.

After stopping Carlo, the helpless Carlo had no choice but to sit down and continue watching the show. Luci, after stopping Carlo, put his eyes on Luffy and said with a smile.

"I hit you, the future Pirate King. Is something wrong?"

"I want..., brother."

Luffy, who was just about to say, "I'm going to beat you up," looked at the speaker and immediately lost his arrogant look. He looked at Luci like an obedient younger brother and called him "brother." He sat on the ground and wanted to watch the road.

Ace, who had made a fool of himself, was shocked when he heard Luffy calling the man who defeated him, brother. He looked at Luci and then at Luffy, and became even more confused, because the two brothers looked nothing alike.

There was no place like that. The elder brother had small horns on his head and his eyes had golden vertical pupils. He was not human at first glance. The younger brother looked completely human. Ace asked Luffy with full of shock and questions.

road.

"Luffy, you bastard, who are you lying to? How could he be your brother? Sister Maginot, you think so!"

While asking Luffy, Ace also asked Maginot a question, and Maginot heard Ace's question and explained to Ace with a gentle smile.

"Ace, like you, Lucy is also the adopted grandson of Lieutenant General Garp. It's just that you haven't met him."

Ace's little face turned red when he heard Maginot's explanation so gently. However, after Lucy saw that Sister Maginot had explained her identity to Ace, she stopped explaining and reached out to Ace.

Open your mouth and say.

"Let me meet you, my name is Monkey D. Luci. I am a marine and Luffy's brother."

Ace looked at Lucy's outstretched hand and turned his head proudly without any intention of shaking hands with Lucy. For a moment, Lucy felt a little embarrassed. He laughed awkwardly and took his own back, and for a while, he felt a little embarrassed.

It became quiet. Luffy, who was very nervous, did not understand anything from the quiet environment. He sat on the chair next to Lucy and began to ask Lucy about what happened in the past few years.

"Brother, why did you come to see me now?"

"I have been studying at the Navy Headquarters in the past few years and have no time. I just graduated recently and came to see you."

Hearing his brother's somewhat aggrieved voice, Luci was immediately entangled in the embarrassing matter just now. He answered Luffy's question in a very calm tone, and Luffy smiled with satisfaction after hearing his brother's answer. On the other hand, Ace was

When he saw that the little follower who had been following him suddenly ignored him, no matter how strong his appearance was, he could not change the fact that he was just a child. Feeling aggrieved and lonely again, Ace's eyes suddenly turned red.

He snorted at Luffy who was talking to Luci and ran out.

"Ai..."

Maginot saw Ace running out and wanted to call out Ace's name before Ace disappeared. Luffy who saw his little friend running out immediately wanted to catch up and turned around.

He looked at his brother, and when Luci saw Luffy's reaction, he just nodded and told him to go ahead and ignore him. After receiving it, Luffy shouted Ace's name and chased him out. After Luffy left, Luci sighed.

She thought for a moment that the brother she had raised for five years was no longer close to her. Maginot, who understood Lucy's sigh, put down the wine glass in his hand and asked Lucy teasingly.

"Lucy, don't you feel a little sad! The younger brother I have raised for five years no longer clings to you, but has become someone else's follower."

"It's a lie to say I'm not sad, but Luffy can't always cling to me. He who wants to be the Pirate King can't always rely on me, my brother who is a marine, right? It's better to cling to someone else, at least he can be on the sea in the future.

They can have someone looking after them."

After speaking, Lucy drank the milk together with the sadness on her face. Maginot looked at Lucy who had been drinking milk and nothing else and asked curiously.

"Lucy, I've been watching you drink milk. You haven't drank anything else. Is it because other things don't taste good?"

"No, it's because my dragon body is only two years old now. In order for him to grow quickly, he can only drink milk. Besides, have you ever seen a two-year-old drink alcohol?"

At the end of the conversation, Lucy rolled her eyes at Sister Maginot. Many black lines appeared on Maginot's head when Lucy rolled her eyes. She thought to herself, "Have you ever told me that you are only two years old now?"
