Chapter 54: The Symbol of Partner
"I didn't expect this to happen while I was sleeping. γγβ
The purpose of the Baroque studio is mysterious, so mysterious that the members of the club don't know the true identity of the boss, and the high-level killers don't know much about the rest of the high-level killers except for their partners, let alone the lonely.2.
Sherlock wouldn't have thought that the .2 had somehow gotten on their ship while he was sleeping, and had become very good friends with Luffy and Chopper.
What's even more speechless is that this product actually left in the end, which is simply a farce.
Sherlock looked at the white bandage tied on his left arm, then at Nami Solon and the others with strange expressions, and silently pushed his glasses: "You let go of a very tricky enemy, really, why didn't you wake me up at that time?"
(If I wake you up, you'll be crazy enough to tear this ship apart...... Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Vivi, and Usopp complained silently in their hearts.
Before Sherlock woke up, several of them first came up with a countermeasure to deal with .2's ability, and then did enough ideological work on Luffy and Chopper, repeatedly emphasizing that they must not let the sorcerer know what kind of crazy thing .2 had done in his face. At first, the captain was reluctant, but in the end, Sanji blocked the troublemaker with a week's secret barbecue.
"That guy showed my father's face when he showed it just now...... "Wei Wei leaned on the railing next to him with a gloomy face: "He definitely pretended to be my father and did a lot of evil things. β
After speaking, Princess Vivi secretly glanced at Sherlock, who was in deep thought, and looked at the unfazed look of the sorcerer, and the blue-haired girl's mind couldn't help but think of the extremely ruined picture at that time.
(It's over, I can't look directly at the glasses anymore...... οΌ
Wei Wei pretended to be calm and turned her head, and her heart was already in tears.
".2 touched all of our faces......" Sherlock touched his chin, then looked at the people who looked a little unnatural, "In other words, my appearance has also been copied by him." β
Speaking of this, the sorcerer gently pushed his glasses, and the transparent lenses reflected two seeping cold lights, making Usopp and the others shiver inexplicably.
"He didn't do anything weird with me. Sherlock said in a casual tone.
(Oops!) x7
Everyone breathed a sigh, which pot is really not opened!
Luffy said in his heart that for the sake of a week's secret barbecue, he couldn't say anything to let Charlotte know the truth of the matter (this idiot didn't realize the severity of the matter.) So he waved his hand very contrivedly, tilted his mouth to the side, looked around with his eyes, and muttered softly: "Nothing strange happened just now, nothing, I don't know anything......
"Yes. Looking at Luffy's appearance of a ghost in his heart, Sherlock's eyes narrowed slightly, and it seemed that this idiot who couldn't lie forcibly explained that it aroused the suspicion of the sorcerer.
"This idiot ......" Nami put her hand on her forehead, looking distressed.
Seeing that Luffy was going to continue to say something, the nympho cook was in a hurry, and kicked the stupid captain into the air, and at the same time said righteously: "You bastard dare to eat the last of the food on the ship!"
"No, those were stolen by Chopper and Usopp!" Luffy looked innocent, obviously not understanding why the curly-eyebrowed chef brought up this matter at this time.
But Luffy, an idiot, doesn't understand, just because others don't understand.
"Luffy, you fuck off, you dare to betray me!" the long-nosed brother who understood in his heart pretended to scream angrily and pounced on the idiot captain.
"Do you want to fight?" Zoro unsheathed the three love knives and put them aside, then moved his wrist and showed his usual evil smile: "Count me in!"
And so an inexplicable scuffle on the deck began.
"Why are they fighting again?"
"Quack~"
Chopper and Karui looked terrified.
Nami Shi Ran walked up to Sherlock and said with a smile, "These guys are always so fond of nonsense, you say yes, Sherlock." β
(It's naΓ―ve to want to distract me from a fight, it seems that they must have something bad hiding from me...... οΌ
(But since they don't want me to know, then I don't want to ask for it.) οΌ
Looking calmly at the four teases who were engaged in the big brawl, Sherlock sighed softly.
"It's stupid......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After another four days of sailing, the climate at sea stabilized, and according to Nami's explanation, they were already very close to Alabastan.
Luffy was lying on the deck, his tongue stretched out exaggeratedly, and said weakly, "Ah, my stomach is hungry......"
"It's not all your fault!" Zoro sat on the deck beside him, and he hadn't been doing an extremely exhausting workout lately due to lack of food.
"yes, if you don't eat all the bait, I'll be able to catch some fish. Usopp, who was working on an invention, said without looking back, and then he lifted his goggles and looked at the blue stick in his hand, showing a satisfied look.
(It's finally done, it's good!) I'm sure Nami will be very satisfied.) οΌ
"Woo............" The stupid captain let out a wail, and then he looked at Princess Vivi, who was reading the latest newspaper, "Now, Vivi, you can let me use Karui as bait to catch some fish." β
The feathers on the big duck stood up in fear ...... "quack", and it quickly hid behind its owner, looking afraid.
The blue-haired girl sighed helplessly: "Luffy, you ......"
A loud explosion interrupted Weiwei's words, and a column of water rose into the sky, and then turned into droplets of water in the sky, and the originally calm sea instantly became turbulent, and even the Merry was shaking violently.!!
"What's going on?!Nami-san!Vivi, you're all right!" The cook immediately ran out of the kitchen after hearing the explosion, and asked anxiously, but when he saw the huge creature slowly emerging on the surface of the sea, the naked figure on the right suddenly appeared with a fine light!
(Food!)
It was a sea beast several times larger than the Merry, with the head of a cat, the body of a fish, and its body covered with cyan scales. However, this monster, which was originally invincible in the ocean, seemed to have been blown out by the explosion just now, and floated on the surface of the sea with white eyes, looking like it was being slaughtered.
"The power of the high-explosive shell mirror is still as powerful as ever. Sherlock stood on the edge of the boat, looked at his prey, and pushed his glasses calmly: "I can finally have a full meal." β
The originally calm and deep black eyes were shining green at this time, and it seemed that the sorcerer had not had a good time lately.
Come to think of it, as the most edible person outside of a certain straw hat foodie, Sherlock was already hungry, but he didn't scream as hungry as Luffy in order to maintain his demeanor.
Luffy and the others hurriedly surrounded them, with different expressions.
"It's a sea beast!" exclaimed Brother Longnose.
"Well done! Charlotte. The captain of the food ship drooled.
"It's so big! Is there such a big creature in the sea?!" the little reindeer looked surprised.
Nami explained to Chopper, "yes, this ocean is amazing. β
"I haven't eaten for four days......!" the green-haired swordsman grinned.
The blonde chef threw the cigarette fart away from his mouth: "Such a big one, watch me cook you a sumptuous meal!"
"It's ...... Sea cat?" Vivi's expression changed suddenly.
"Quack. β
"It just fainted. Sherlock waved his hand slightly, and a long mirror image of a knife appeared above the sea cat, the sharp blade reflecting the cold light in the sunlight.
- Magic Mirror: Great Change!
The long knife was magnified more than ten times in an instant, and then the giant blade slashed at the sea cat's neck under the manipulation of Sherlock's mind.
"I'll slaughter it first......"
"Don't!.glasses, stop!!" Princess Vivi exclaimed, and then she rushed forward with a brisk stride, pounced on Sherlock, who was standing on the edge of the ship manipulating the mirror image of the giant blade.
Sherlock was stunned for a moment, and then he felt a soft touch and a huge force coming from his lower back, and his center of gravity was unstable, and he planted it forward......
Plop ~ splash of water.
Under the astonished gaze of the Straw Hats, the two fell into the sea together, and the giant blade slowly disappeared.
Quiet......
The Straw Hats were stunned for a moment, and then exploded.
"Miss Vivi, don't be afraid, your valiant knight has come to your rescue!" the cook plunged into the sea without hesitation, and immediately fished Vivi up.
Usopp looked stunned when he saw this: "Hey, hey, compared to Vivi, who can swim, the first thing to save should be Sherlock, he is a landlubber!"
Well, maybe in Sanji's eyes, the safety of the lady is the top priority.
"That's right, Charlotte, he can't swim!" Luffy, who has some problems with his brain circuits, changed his face: "Charlotte, I'm here to save you!" After saying that, the cargo grabbed the edge of the boat and was about to jump, and Chopper, who was so frightened that he turned into a human form, quickly stopped him.
"Luffy, can't you idiot be a little self-conscious as a Devil Fruit Capable person?" Nami held her forehead with her hand extremely helplessly.
"That's true...... Sauron raised an eyebrow impatiently, and he jumped into the sea and swam towards Sherlock, who was sinking.
(It always feels like I've become a professional lifeguard...... οΌ
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After a burst of chickens and dogs, the sea cat that woke up at some point slipped away, and the angry stupid cargo captain bit the railing of the ship with tears in his eyes to vent his anger.
"This is the first time I've fallen into the water since I ate the Mirror Fruit......"
Sherlock carefully wiped his precious glasses with a silk scarf, put them on, gently pushed, and then looked at the blue-haired girl sitting in front of him with a calm face, the eyes under the lenses were not sad or joyful, but everyone around him could feel that the sorcerer was in a very bad mood at this time.
"Do you have anything to say? β
Wei Wei swallowed softly, some thin clothes were soaked and outlined the girl's budding body curves, and a cook on the side even spit out a cigarette turned into a peach.
"The sea cat is a sacred creature of Alabastan, it is a symbol of auspiciousness, and it must not be eaten......" Vivi said weakly, somehow, it was clear that she was the one who was reasonable, but Vivi had a feeling that she had done something wrong under the oppression of the invisible aura of the sorcerer.
"Yes, I see. Sherlock gave a look of understanding, and then he bowed his head to Vivi and said sincerely, "It was my negligence, I'm sorry, Vivi." β
"No, no, it's nothing ......" In the face of Sherlock's apology, Vivi was a little overwhelmed.
(This guy is really meticulous about etiquette...... Sanji and the others thought silently in their hearts.
"Meat...... Meat...... My flesh......" In the distance, the mourning of the dead mother of the dead mother was heard, and the sound was so sad that the listener wept.
"Really, bear with me, Luffy!" Nami rubbed her short orange hair a little irritably, and then she asked the blue-haired girl, "We're already close to Alabastan, aren't we?" β
Princess Vivi nodded: "Sea cats only operate in the waters near Alabastan, and it is estimated that we will be able to reach our destination in less than half a day." β
Speaking of this, Weiwei's expression was a little dazed.
(Finally, I'm finally back, I'm not going to let you do whatever you want in my country, Klokdal!) Princess Vivi swore silently in her heart, and her delicate body involuntarily began to tremble.
Probably feeling that Weiwei's mood at this time was a little uncalm, Sherlock gently stretched out his hand, held the blue-haired girl's fragrant shoulder, and said lightly: "Don't worry Weiwei, no matter what happens, we will be by your side." β
The tone was the same as when Sherlock had comforted Vivi in his arms at Whiskey Mountain, just as plain, but just as reassuring.
"Yes, we're partners!" Luffy changed his attitude of wanting to die or die, "I'm going to beat that bastard crocodile." β
"Dare to make trouble in the country of beautiful Miss Vivi...... Sanji lit a cigarette, took a puff, and spit out a smoke ring: "Absolutely unforgivable!"
"When the time comes, remember the billion Bailey that I said~~" Nami was playful and stuck out her tongue at the blue-haired girl.
Chopper blinked and asked, "So what can I do?" Little Reindeer was eager to contribute to the team.
"Do whatever you can, don't force yourself, and run away when you encounter an enemy you can't beat. Usopp said to Chopper in a serious manner: "This is the valuable experience that I, Captain Usopp, have summed up over the years!"
Zoro pursed his lips when he heard this: "You said this to yourself. β
"Quack~" Karui shouted a few times, as if in agreement with the green-haired swordsman's words.
"Glasses, everyone" Wei Wei's voice was a little choked up, at this time she only felt that she was so lucky to meet these people.
"Okay, anyway, when you get to your destination, you must not remove the bandage on your left hand!" Luffy said as he stretched out his left hand, followed by the rest of the group, which was wrapped in a white bandage.
Nine arms of different shapes form a circle, like the radiant sun.
ββ¦β¦ This is the symbol of our partners!" Luffy grinned.
