Chapter 369 Inexplicable feelings
Ling Tian's movements were relaxed and natural, as if he was doing something insignificant. His arms were stretched straight, and his fingers were slightly bent, as if he was grasping an invisible rope in the air.
His movements were smooth and natural, without any hesitation or pause. His eyes were full of confidence and calmness, which made people feel a strong power.
Ace was originally admiring the traces left by Luffy and his friends in the virtual space. This virtual space was quiet and mysterious, with a faint light all around, as if it was a corner forgotten by time.
Ace walked slowly, his eyes focused on those familiar traces, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He saw Luffy's crooked graffiti carved on the wall, and seemed to hear Luffy's hearty laughter echoing in the air. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile, recalling the happy times he spent with his friends.
Suddenly, a hand appeared from the side and lifted him up. The hand appeared so abruptly that it seemed to have stretched out from the void.
Ace felt his body tighten, and a strong force held him tightly. He was filled with surprise and confusion, not knowing what was going on.
His eyes widened instantly, full of astonishment. His mind went blank, and he was completely unable to comprehend the situation in front of him. He tried to struggle, but found that he could not move at all. The power of the hand was so strong that he was shocked.
When he came to his senses, he found that Whitebeard and others were looking at him. Ace's eyes slowly swept over everyone, his eyes full of disbelief.
The moment Ace appeared, a white figure rushed over like lightning and hugged Ace directly.
The figure was so fast that it was almost invisible, leaving only a blurry white trail. Yamato's movements were full of eagerness and joy, as if she had been waiting for this moment for a long, long time.
"That's great, Ace!" Yamato's voice trembled, a sign of extreme excitement. She hugged Ace tightly, as if she was afraid that he would disappear again.
She wrapped her arms tightly around Ace's body and pressed her face against his chest, feeling his heartbeat. Tears sparkled in Yamato's eyes, tears of joy and relief.
Her long hair fluttered gently in the breeze, intertwined with Ace's figure, like a beautiful painting.
The figure was Yamato. The moment she saw Ace, Yamato felt relieved. These days, Yamato had been worried about Ace's safety, and her heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
Every minute and every second was a torment for her. She didn't know where Ace was, or whether he was safe. She kept praying in her heart, hoping that Ace would return safely.
Now, seeing Ace standing in front of her alive, Yamato finally felt relieved. Her eyes were full of tenderness and love, as if she was looking at a precious treasure.
She stroked Ace's hair gently, feeling his warmth, her heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.
Yamato raised her head slightly and looked at Ace's face, her eyes full of affection. The corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a brilliant smile, as if the whole world had become better because of Ace's appearance.
She said softly, "Ace, I'm so glad you're okay. I've been worried about you." Her voice was gentle and pleasant, like the sound of nature, intoxicating.
"Yamato..." After seeing who was hugging him, Ace said with some embarrassment. His voice was slightly trembling, and a faint blush appeared on his face.
Ace's eyes were filled with a hint of surprise and shyness. He didn't seem to expect Yamato to hug him so excitedly. He looked away, not daring to look directly into Yamato's eyes, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Cough cough." Whitebeard, Roger, Buggy and Kaido coughed almost at the same time.
The voice was particularly loud in the quiet space, as if reminding someone of something. Whitebeard frowned slightly, with a hint of majesty in his eyes.
In his hand, he held a huge naginata, the blade swaying slightly, as if expressing his inner restlessness. Roger smiled meaningfully, his eyes flashing with wisdom, as if he was thinking about something interesting.
Buggy and Kaido had stern faces, with a hint of dissatisfaction in their eyes. His body trembled slightly, as if he was suppressing his emotions.
Hearing the cough, Yamato immediately let go of Ace shyly, and ran back to Kaido and covered her face. Her movements were like a frightened deer, full of shyness and panic.
Her cheeks were red like ripe apples, and her eyes were full of shyness and embarrassment, as if she regretted her impulsive behavior.
Her long hair fluttered in the wind, covering her face and making it difficult to see her expression. Although Yamato's personality in the original work is very open, because of Ling Tian, Yamato is not like in the original work now.
After seeing Yamato's actions, the others also understood the relationship between Yamato and Ace. They glanced back and forth between Ace and Yamato, their eyes full of curiosity and speculation.
Some people slightly raised the corners of their mouths, revealing an ambiguous smile; some people nodded gently, as if they silently agreed to something in their hearts.
In their hearts, they were secretly guessing the story between the two people and imagining the various plots that might have happened between them.
Ace was a little embarrassed by Yamato's hug just now. His cheeks were slightly red, and there was a hint of shyness in his eyes. His hands were unconsciously rubbing the corners of his clothes, as if to hide his inner panic.
His eyes occasionally stole a glance at Yamato, but he quickly looked away when he met her gaze. Ace had never experienced such a scene before, and his heart was full of contradictions and confusion.
He didn't know how to face Yamato's feelings, nor did he know what kind of feelings he had towards Yamato in his heart.
But just now, Ace felt Yamato's concern for him, and a different feeling emerged in his heart. It was a warm and complex emotion, as if a warm current was flowing in his heart.
He remembered the support and encouragement Yamato gave him when he was in the most difficult times, and her courage to fight against her father Kaido for him.
Ace's heart was filled with emotion, and he began to re-examine his feelings for Yamato.
If Ace had promised to marry Yamato after he came back to Wano Country so that he could leave Wano Country, then now he no longer regards that promise as a joke.
