The Bond and Promise

Alice approached Raveal with a concerned expression, noticing her absence from the set.

Alice: Raveal, what happened? Why did you suddenly leave the set?

Raveal looked at Alice, her eyes filled with emotion, and then gestured towards Ichigo, Luffy, and Wong.

Raveal: Alice, meet Wong. He's one of Ichigo and Luffy's brothers.

Alice's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Wong, who was now resting peacefully in Raveal's lap. She knelt down beside them, gently brushing a strand of hair from Wong's face.

Alice: Wong? But... how?

Raveal proceeded to explain Wong's heartbreaking story to Alice, detailing the experiments conducted by Umbrella and the trauma Wong endured.

As Alice listened to Wong's harrowing experience, tears welled up in her eyes. She couldn't comprehend the cruelty that had been inflicted upon their brother.

Alice: This is... this is terrible. Poor Wong... How could anyone do such things?

Her voice trembled with emotion as she looked up at Luffy and Ichigo, her heart aching for their brother's suffering.

Luffy and Ichigo exchanged a somber glance, their own pain reflected in their eyes.

Luffy: We couldn't protect him then, but we'll protect him now. No one will ever hurt Wong again.

Ichigo nodded in agreement, his determination unwavering.

Ichigo: We'll make sure he gets the care and love he deserves, just like Miss Hana would have wanted.

Alice wiped away her tears, her resolve firming as she looked at her brothers.

Alice: You're right. We'll do whatever it takes to keep Wong safe and ensure he never has to suffer again.

With their bond stronger than ever, Ichigo, Luffy, Raveal, and Alice vowed to stand together and protect their family no matter what challenges lay ahead.

As Wong woke up from his peaceful slumber, his stomach let out a loud growl, drawing everyone's attention.

Raveal chuckled softly and placed a hand on Wong's shoulder.

Raveal: Hungry, Wong?

Wong nodded sheepishly, his cheeks turning pink with embarrassment.

Wong: Yeah... I haven't eaten since yesterday.

Raveal glanced at Alice, who immediately understood the situation. With a warm smile, Alice offered to take Wong to get something to eat.

Alice: Come on, Wong. Let's go find you something delicious to eat.

Wong's eyes lit up with excitement, grateful for Alice's kindness. He eagerly followed her, feeling a sense of warmth and acceptance he hadn't experienced in a long time.

Raveal watched them leave, her heart swelling with affection for Wong and gratitude towards Alice for taking care of him. She turned to Ichigo and Luffy, a soft smile playing on her lips.

Raveal: It's wonderful to see Wong in good hands. He's lucky to have you all.

Ichigo and Luffy nodded in agreement, their eyes reflecting their deep bond with Wong and their determination to protect him at all costs.

Ichigo: We'll make sure Wong never goes hungry again.

Luffy: Yeah, he's part of our family. We'll take care of him together.

With renewed resolve, Ichigo, Luffy, and Raveal prepared to face whatever challenges awaited them, knowing that their bond and determination would see them through any obstacles.

As Alice and Wong sat down at a nearby cafe, Wong's eyes widened with excitement as he saw the spread of food before him. He couldn't contain his joy as he eagerly dug into the meal, his cheeks flushed with excitement.

Alice couldn't help but smile at Wong's enthusiasm, finding his childlike innocence endearing.

Alice: You sure are hungry, Wong!

Wong nodded enthusiastically between bites, his mouth full of delicious food.

Wong: This is so good, Alice! Thank you for getting me something to eat.

Alice's heart melted at Wong's gratitude. She reached out and ruffled his hair affectionately.

Alice: It's my pleasure, Wong. You deserve to enjoy a good meal.

Watching Wong eat with such delight reminded Alice of simpler times, before the hardships they had all endured. She found herself lost in nostalgia, grateful for this moment of joy amidst the chaos of their lives. As Wong continued to enjoy his meal, Alice couldn't help but feel a sense of protectiveness towards him. She vowed to do whatever it took to ensure that Wong and his brothers would never have to suffer again.

As the thugs approached Alice with lewd intentions, she felt a sense of unease wash over her. She tried to ignore their advances, but they persisted, their crude remarks becoming increasingly aggressive.

Thug 1: Hey there, sweetheart. Why don't you ditch this kid and come have some fun with us?

Alice's discomfort grew, but before she could respond, Luffy burst into the cafe with a thunderous expression, his eyes blazing with fury.

Luffy: Hey, you jerks! What do you think you're doing to my friend?

The thugs turned their attention to Luffy, sneering at his interruption.

Thug 2: Looks like we've got ourselves a hero, boys. Maybe we'll have some fun with him too!

Luffy's fists clenched at the thugs' words, his anger boiling over. Without hesitation, he lunged towards them, ready to defend Alice and Wong.

Luffy: You lay a finger on them, and you'll regret it!

The thugs, caught off guard by Luffy's sudden aggression, hesitated for a moment before attempting to retaliate. However, they were no match for Luffy's strength and determination.

With lightning-fast reflexes, Luffy swiftly incapacitated the thugs, rendering them powerless before Alice and Wong's astonished eyes.

As Luffy stood victorious, Alice couldn't help but feel a rush of admiration for him. His swift and powerful moves left her in awe, and she found herself blushing as she watched him.

Alice: (to herself) Wow, he's amazing... so strong and brave.

She quickly composed herself, not wanting anyone to notice her growing feelings for Luffy. However, Wong, who was observing the scene with wide eyes, seemed to sense Alice's admiration for his big brother.

Wong: Big brother Luffy is really cool, isn't he, Alice?

Alice smiled at Wong's innocent comment, grateful for the distraction from her own thoughts.

Alice: Yes, he is, Wong. We're lucky to have him looking out for us.

Meanwhile, Luffy, oblivious to Alice's internal turmoil, grinned proudly as he looked at his friends.

Luffy: Don't worry, Alice, Wong. I'll always protect you guys. That's what nakama are for!

His words warmed Alice's heart, reaffirming her admiration for him. She knew that she would always feel safe and supported with Luffy by her side.

As the cafe owner approached, his expression stern, Luffy turned to face him, ready to explain the situation. However, before he could speak, Alice stepped forward, her voice calm but firm.

Alice: Sir, please allow me to explain. These men were causing trouble and harassing me, but Luffy intervened to protect me and the others.

Then cafe owner listened attentively as Alice recounted the events that had unfolded. His frown softened slightly as he understood the situation.

Cafe Owner: I see... Well, that's certainly not something we tolerate here. I'll call the authorities right away and make sure these troublemakers are dealt with.

Alice nodded gratefully, relieved that the situation was being handled. However, she knew that the cafe had suffered some damage during the altercation. Determined to take responsibility, she reached into her bag and pulled out her checkbook.

Alice: Here, please accept this as compensation for the damage caused. I'm truly sorry for any inconvenience.

The cafe owner hesitated, clearly taken aback by Alice's offer. He glanced at the check, then back at Alice with a mix of surprise and gratitude.

Cafe Owner: Oh, miss, that's really not necessary...

But Alice insisted, her expression unwavering.

Alice: Please, it's the least I can do. Consider it a token of our gratitude for your hospitality.

Eventually, the cafe owner relented, accepting the check with a grateful nod.

Cafe Owner: Well, thank you, miss. I appreciate your kindness.

Alice smiled warmly, glad that she could help alleviate some of the cafe owner's concerns. With the situation resolved, she turned to Luffy and Wong, feeling a sense of relief wash over her.

Luffy flashed a charming grin at Alice, his eyes sparkling with admiration.

Luffy: You handled that like a pro, Alice. You're pretty amazing, you know?

Alice felt her cheeks warm at the unexpected compliment, a faint blush tinting her cheeks.

Alice: Th-thank you, Luffy. I... I just did what I had to.

Despite her attempt to downplay it, Alice couldn't deny the flutter of excitement in her chest at Luffy's praise. She stole a shy glance at him, feeling a newfound fondness for the kind-hearted commando standing beside her.

As they walked hand in hand through the bustling streets of Paris, the whispers of passersby caught their attention. People glanced at them with warm smiles, remarking on what a lovely family they made and how adorable their son was.

Alice couldn't help but blush furiously at the notion, her heart fluttering with both embarrassment and a strange sense of joy. She glanced up at Luffy, finding him equally flustered by the comments.

Alice: (whispering) Did you hear what they said about us?

Luffy nodded, his cheeks tinged with a faint pink hue.

Luffy: Yeah... It's kinda embarrassing, but... kinda nice too.

Alice smiled shyly at his admission, feeling a rush of warmth at the thought of being seen as a family with Luffy. She squeezed his hand gently as they continued on their way, grateful for the unexpected but undeniable bond they shared.
