Hello everyone!
Wow, first of all I want to thank you for your kind kudos and comments! I was so happy when I saw each one of them and I was very excited!
I am glad that this story has seemed interesting and I will make sure to continue it very soon.
Any questions or concerns about the plot of history can ask me, to clarify it in the last chapter and not leave loose ends!
Let's read it!
"Release note:
hello! Many, many thanks for correcting my mistakes. I really appreciate it. I have many problems with pronouns and it helps me a lot to know where they are, because I get confused translating them.
I tried to check the text and found many of the errors, but if they find one that has escaped me, do not hesitate to let me know.
Cofcofcofoh my god, I need a betacofcofcof XD"
Ace refused to talk about what he saw to anyone.
When they returned home, everyone in the village expected to hear how they had been victorious against the evil bearded men, and mysteriously Ace's companions remembered nothing, so they asked him, since he was loose at the time.
"I do not know, I do not remember" were their only answers.
He had thought about it many times, and came to the conclusion that the best thing for everyone was that no one knew the truth. The fact that the black beard and its men had been reduced to pieces by a huge group of sirens, must be kept secret.
Heh, the mere thought was incredible.
It was ironic that the initial purpose of the trip had been to find "a group of strange and valuable fish" and had found them unintentionally. And they were brought to death by them.
Also, if by chance someone believed that crazy story, they would put some kind of trip to "hunt" them or observe them or whatever, and he was sure that something would only end very badly.
Of course, he decided to stay offshore for some time ... or forever if he could. It was two long years before he would approach the ocean again, much less touch the deck of any ship.
It could not last forever in self-imposed isolation.
He wished it had lasted longer. But his pressing needs for company and labor forced him to return to the ports to work as the person in charge of unloading products brought from the high seas.
It had been about two months since he began his routine work, never lowering his guard and knowing that sooner or later they would meet again.
A ship full of shrimp hired their help and had spent the afternoon, sweaty and busy, coming down with other companions tons of seafood.
Then it happened.
He heard screams, desperate and begging, a woman.
-My daughter! Please, somebody helped her!
Ace released the box full of shrimp and ran like many other people to where the woman, who pointed to a point that gradually moved away.
He was a young child.
No one was doing anything, but the every screamed for help. So he decided he would be the one to rescue him. In an agile movement he took off his shoes and shirt, throwing himself into the sea.
He swam quickly, trying to reach the body he saw shaking himself in the distance, fighting not to sink. They were a girl a few years younger than him and looked frightened, desperate not to sink. He moved a few yards further, and his hand touched the girl's shirt from which he clung, pulling her to the surface.
"Girl! Do not get shaken!" Ace protested as the girl kicked and screamed for her mother. "We'll sink!"
He was too frightened to listen, to him and hit her savior, plunging them both into the water. Just when he could no longer stay afloat longer and swallowed the first puff of water, he felt a slippery sensation caressing his toes.
Then two strong arms pulled him back to the surface and Ace could breathe. He took a generous breath, dragged the now unconscious girl with him and turned to thank the person who had saved him, when his breath left as he realized who he was.
The bluish, flaming tail shook beneath the surface.
Ace wanted everything to be a bad dream, that when he woke up he was in his room and had fallen out of bed or something ... but no, it was real.
He looked in all directions except the fish man's face, when a clawed hand rested on his chin and forced him to look at those sky-colored eyes with the appearance of eternal boredom ...
And that terrifying smile full of deadly fangs.
Mine…
He realized that he had fallen into the trap. The mermaid had dragged the girl like bait. That's why he fought Ace, thinking was the predator that had taken her so far off the coast.
He was sure that the newt had been prowling around for years.
It was the first time they her touched. Well, Ace was touched by the other.
His hands ran down the boy's bare chest, at the same time keeping him afloat. It was demanding and the freckled one froze when he felt those teeth very softly rub the skin of his back and as if it looked for the best place where to bite.
He returned to the front of the boy and without giving him time to react he put his icy lips on his. And it began to sink into the depths.
He released the body he was trying to save and joined his hands against the creature in a desperate attempt to free himself. He kicked and scratched but the other remained impassive kissing him softly.
When he considered all his efforts useless, he felt something spur his side and suddenly he was free of the grip, coming to the surface of two strong pushes.
He took a huge breath and looked around for the cause of the sudden release and saw a fishing boat that had picked up the drowning girl and fired into the water non-stop.
Old Garp.
The old man extended a hand toward him, helping him up the boat where the child remained unconscious but alive.
"Old! How did you arrive?!"
"Get off the bank Ace!, he could come back for you!"
No sooner had he finished saying that sentence, the newt came out of the water and clung ironically to Ace's arm.
"Let go!" the fish man's strength was far superior and grunted furiously as black blood flowed from his shoulder and tried to drag him back into the water.
Garp charged the gun and pointed it at him.
Then the blonde nails his fangs on the young man's and Ace shouted a loud, but the fish-men received a new bullet in the tail.
With a savage grunt he plunged into the water dyed with his own blood and disappeared.
Ace caught her breath and realized was not able to get up, that her legs trembled uncontrollably and her heart pounded painfully in her chest.
He was so terrified.
Garp said nothing as he rowed toward the shore and the family of the girl who almost drowned, thanked them in tears for saving their daughter.
"Come on" Garp grabbed his shoulder and took him home "there are things to talk about"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Have you seen him more often?" Garp put a cup of hot tea in front of him and pulled out a medicine cabinet.
"Ever since I was ten," Ace said in a whisper, "but lately he's been more ... possessive?"
"Ten!" Garp looked horrified at the idea-the truth if it was scary-do you have any idea of the danger you've been in? "
"Why do you think I stayed away from the sea during these two years?" I was too frightened to return, with the things I saw ... what he did,
"Sirens are demons Ace ... eat human flesh"
"Be old, devoured a whole crew in front of me ..."
Black beard
"And his men ..."
"Why did not you say it?" We could have done something!
"Do not be ridiculous old! They devoured it! No fight They jumped into the sea on their own feet ... What could we do? We would only end up dead like them ..."
Ace looked at the wound on his shoulder, it was not bad, considering that he could have ripped his arm off with a single bar, but hurt, hurt a lot. Garp did his best work with needle and thread, but despite being attached, the wound still looked bad.
" you have to be away from the sea Ace ... that thing does not want to eat you for a reason ..."
"What? No wait. Why do you know so much about them?"
" I had a meeting once ..."
" I guess you saved because you're deaf ..."
Garp had lost his ear when in his youth he had participated in the war and the cannon balls had burst his eardrums. But he could read her lips very well.
- The best thing is not to go back to the sea ...
"And you can know how I'm going to do that? I've been fixing the last two years, but I was thinking that it could not last any longer ... it's an island for the love of God! It is surrounded by the ocean!"
Garp wondered as he dealt with Ace's wound, it was true. Indifferent to the extent of the island, lived inhabitants of what they brought from the sea, it was simply ridiculous to plan to live their entire life away from the ocean when there was a beach everywhere every few kilometers.
The wound was deep and left a scar ... but it was a siren wound ... an injury meant to keep her near the water. When he finished suturing, he fell back on his chair and looked at the lamp.
"Why did not you tell anyone?"
" I tried the first few times ... but they told me that I had a lot of imagination ... that those things did not exist ,and I preferred to remain silent before becoming a renegade of madness ..."
"Well ... you're right ... Ace, that thing, that thing tries to take you with him"
"Hm…?"
"Mean there are only two reasons for the siren or siren to surface"
"Which?"
"The first to hunt humans ... and the second to get a partner"
Ace spat the tea he drank in silence.
"What?!"
"Unlike what many believe, mermaids and newts are not a natural race ... they are demons, they can not have children, they can not reproduce in a natural way like any other creature on earth"
" So you want to say that ...?"
"They try to the human beings to the depths and turn them into their lovers"
Ace got it in his seat.
"He's trying to make sure he can not run too far." That bite will not heal.
" But I want to leave! I have to escape!"
"Maybe ... if you lived on the continent you could save yourself ... it is said that the doctors and wizards there have powerful medicines, enough to save you and heal the wound ..."
It was a bet of all or nothing, if he managed to reach the continent, he would never have to see the fisherman again and live his peaceful human life until the day of his death.
" I think I'm going to ... I'm going to go to the mainland ... I have money saved, I could pay for medical attention or something."
"I'll arrange your trip as soon as possible. I think this week a merchant ship is going to travel, it's an old friend of mine, so I'll tell you to take you to dry land, and we'll let Luffy know to come and get you."
Ace nodded in silence and thanking the old man for his care, he went to sleep. He had many things to think about, too many problems in a very short time.
He could not sleep that night.
His mind was in the sea and the head of golden hair ... was that what he wanted? To drag him to the bottom of the sea and turn him into his mistress or simply play with him and then devour him?, It was strange, even for the one who after seeing him in his true nature, felt no disgust or disgust. Maybe because his victim was black beard and his crew ... or maybe because his mind kept thinking about that blinding beauty and the hand that stretched him across the waters ...
-Hahhh- He held his head while shouting confused- What the fuck is going on?
Why could not see him as the monster he was? It had become so deep in his brain ...
He had played with his thoughts to make him believe that he was harmless, and when he had revealed himself to him as a predator, he left only one spot of desire in every apparition.
Tempted him, tempted him slowly to drag him into the water. Flirted mischievously like a child inviting another to join in the fun.
Do not!
never!
Could not fall!
The next time he saw him, he was not going to take him by surprise.
Took the grip of his old knife with force.
Is going to kill him
what did you think?
I hope you liked it!
Any review or kudos, I receive with all the love of the land 3
