Chapter 299: Seven Jewels

After two days of observation, Sherlock felt that Maya was a very contradictory and interesting person. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Usually she looks like a soft and cute soft cute looking like a bully, but when her hand holds the sword, the temperament of the whole person is completely reversed and becomes aggressive.

Let's say she is timid, as a landlubber who can't swim, she dares to go to sea alone.

Let's say she's as brainless as Luffy, but when she was captured and made a slave, she knew to hide her true strength and wait for an opportunity to escape.

And from Maya's body, a certain glasses also felt an inexplicable fluctuation many times, as if there was some unknown connection between the two of them.

All in all, Sherlock is still quite interested in this beautiful girl that he bought back for a billion berry.

"Speaking of which, why would you want to leave your hometown of Lost Island and go out to sea for an adventure?"

A glasses suddenly asked.

"Ah, this ......"

Maya was slightly stunned when she heard this, hesitated for a while, and then sighed lightly.

"I guess it was my father's influence. ”

"Your father?"

Sherlock's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was keenly aware of the sadness in Maya's eyes when she mentioned her father.

"Yes. ”

Maya nodded, and then briefly told Sherlock about her father.

Although Lost Island is isolated from the rest of the world, it is an ideal paradise for the rest of the world, and its comfortable living environment makes the residents of the island rarely want to venture out to sea.

But Maya's father, Tox, is clearly not among them.

According to the island's elders, Maya's father was full of adventure since he was a child.

Tox had gone to sea many years earlier when he was still very young, and in the decades that followed, he went to sea many times, and each time he became farther and farther away.

If Lost Island were to select the number one adventurer for nearly a thousand years, it would probably be Maya's father.

"Your dad is amazing......" Sherlock nudged his glasses slightly.

Listening to the description of the blue-haired girl just now, her father Tox is a cowman comparable to the well-known risk-taking Rolando in the North Sea.

Even in a sense, Tokes is even more terrible than Rolando.

After all, Rolando's adventure at that time had a boatload of companions, while Maya's father was a domineering one-man brush.

Who makes the people on the Lost Island really lack the spirit of adventure, and Tox really has a hard time finding a partner to venture with.

"Navigation, swordsmanship, botany...... Father, he taught many, many useful skills. ”

"He told me when I was very young that he hoped that when I was an adult at the age of eighteen, I would be like him and brave enough to go to sea, and tell him stories of adventures when I returned. ”

Maya's face was melancholy, her hands around her knees, and she curled up into a small ball on the bed.

Unfortunately, he could no longer hear it. ”

"Could it be ......" Although he had expected it, a certain glasses still changed slightly when he heard this.

"Well, three years ago, my father died in an accident. ”

Maya breathed a sigh of relief, and after being reminded of the sad past, her mood could be described as extremely low.

The moonlight poured in through the cabin window, and Sherlock could clearly see the faint glint of tears in the corners of Maya's eyes.

"Ahh ”

The blue-haired girl suddenly came back to her senses, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile:

"It's really strange, I don't know what's going on, next to you, I can't help but say all the words in my heart. ”

The corners of Sherlock's mouth turned up slightly, and as a perfect listener, he always made the person who confides in him subconsciously confide in him.

This feeling of being very reassuring can easily make others let their guard down and open their hearts, which is comparable to a hidden passive skill.

"So, you went to sea this time to go on an adventure to carry on your father's legacy?"

One of the glasses took out a handkerchief from the mirror space and handed it to Maya, changing the subject at the same time.

"Then the Devil Fruit you ate was also brought back from outside by your father after his adventure at sea?"

"No, that's what I stumbled upon on the island. ”

Maya shook her head, remembered it for a while, and said with a frown: "That was when I was very young, and I have almost forgotten the specific details. ”

"I just remember that the taste was so unpalatable!"

As she spoke, an exaggerated expression appeared on the blue-haired girl's beautiful face.

"Haha, indeed, that terrible smell is something I won't forget for the rest of my life. ”

Sherlock couldn't help but laugh and nodded approvingly.

…………

In this way, the Straw Hats had a peaceful night.

The next day.

Due to the sudden storm yesterday, the pirates who participated this time can be said to have all dispersed.

Sanji stood at the top of the mast and looked around, stunned to find not a single pirate ship traveling with him.

Although the end point is the same, it may be difficult for them to meet again halfway.

Luckily, compared to yesterday's storm, the sky was clear today, making it a rare good day.

As a result, the people on board the Merry were able to do something of their own.

In the Usopp factory, a certain great inventor who is "famous in the East China Sea" is in full swing to invent and create.

(Strange, what is Usopp doing again?)

Chopper poured the ground powder into a small bottle and looked at the long nose surrounded by parts on the side with a puzzled expression.

After completing Sherlock's black knight's armor, Nami's weather stick, and her own slingshot, the Usopp factory hasn't opened for days.

Usopp's latest invention has successfully piqued Chopper's curiosity.

So the little reindeer whispered up to Usopp and was about to ask a question, but was attracted by a bright and beautiful light.

"Wow, what a beautiful gem! Usopp, you ...... these gems."

"Shhh

Usopp hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover the mouth of the little reindeer, and looked around vigilantly, and when he saw that it had not attracted the attention of a certain wealthy navigator, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Listen to Chopper. Usopp put his hands on the shoulders of the blue-nosed reindeer, and said:

"Don't let Nami know until I've finished this invention that Sherlock gave me these gems!"

"Hu......h? I know. ”

Chopper nodded as if he didn't understand, a pair of black deer eyes blinked and blinked, and then he looked down at the props beside Usopp.

A few shells from the Sky Island, a small bag of precious stones, a few pieces of broken copper and iron of various shapes, and many materials and tools that cannot be named.

"But Usopp, what is your latest invention?"

Chopper scratched his head, this innocent little guy really couldn't guess what Usopp was trying to do.

"Hey...... hey," Usopp smiled mysteriously as he reached for the pouch containing the gem.

"Chopper, do you remember the last thing Sherlock said about the [bait plan] the night before he left?"

After saying that, Brother Longnose didn't wait for Chopper to reply, and poured out all the gems in the bag by himself.

In the sunlight, these gems reflected a brilliant and alluring light, and even the originally humble cabin became a little brighter.

It is worth noting that the stones, although they vary in color, are almost the same size, all the size of a fingernail, and are clearly carefully selected.

And there are no more, no less, exactly seven.
