Chapter 33: The Empress
"Sig...... Is that Bruno telling the truth, your ability to teleport is gone? ”
Ace wiped the sweat from his forehead, and glanced at Luffy, who was still trying to find a way out of this space, as if he didn't feel fatigue at all, and then turned to Sigurd, who had been silent, and asked. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Ah, yes, you don't think I'm strong enough to use that level of tricks, do you?"
Sieg stopped thinking and turned to Ace, who couldn't hide his worry and self-blame.
In fact, Bruno's guessing process was not accurate before, and if Sieg burned the 'door' ability he obtained from Bruno, he could also issue the previous move, and it would be more in his interests. But Bruno's conclusion was partly correct, and Sieg did burn the more important teleportation ability, because the 'door' ability was actually no longer in him after he had signed a contract with Whitebeard.
Seeing that after saying this, the self-reproach in Ace's eyes became more and more intense, and Sieg smiled and continued:
"Don't worry, even if my teleportation ability is still there, I can't do without this small world."
Sig lied, if his teleportation ability was still there, it was very likely that he could easily take everyone away, but this assumption was meaningless, and it would make Ace blame himself even more, so naturally there was no need to say it.
But even though Seeger said this, Ace was not much comforted:
"However, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have fallen to this point, with your current strength, you can have a brilliant future, and then Luffy may really become One Piece, and you can find what you want......"
"Wanted...... Stuff? ”
All along, Sieg didn't know what he wanted, whether it was in the hunter world or after arriving in the One Piece world, almost everything he did was affected by the environment around him, and there was no strong personal will, and the only time he did it according to his own will may be to ambush the Phantom Brigade, and the consequences of this incident ......
Unlike his predecessors, he had no ambition to conquer the world, nor did he have any hope of immortality, nor even had any interest in money or planting the world, which caused him to lose easily at Nobunaga's hands even though he had such excellent telepathic abilities and adult self-control.
And after arriving in the One Piece world, the reason that supported him to go on was even the sad desire to take responsibility for his dead friends, if it wasn't for meeting one new friend after another, and encountering events that had to be taken again and again, I'm afraid his strength wouldn't have grown so much.
Sieg was a little distracted, and his eyes unconsciously became a little hollow.
"What do I want?"
……
"Ace, what are you talking about, you are my brother, a friend of Sige, we came to save you, isn't it right, you are like this now, but you are not at all like the Ace I know...... Ah, I see, you're actually pretending to be in the Navy, tell me, how can we get out of here! ”
Ace's self-blame was instantly replaced by a black line, scolding Luffy for being stupid while dodging Luffy's headless attack, but the stupid brother who could have been subdued in an instant has now grown up to the point where he can fight with him well, and even faintly gain the upper hand, which makes Ace's heart unconsciously swell with a burst of relief.
Gently stroking the image phone bug that was napping because it couldn't transmit the image, Sig ignored Ace and Luffy who were messing around, and his mind was still thinking about what Luffy said.
He always felt that that sentence could answer part of the problem in his mind, but he couldn't find the reason for it, and he couldn't help but be a little irritated.
……
"Hmm...... Where is this......"
A somewhat weak voice interrupted Siggy's thoughts, it was a pale, plump and slender woman lying next to Sig, it was the purple figure who forcibly rushed in the space where Sig was and was exiled by Bruno into the dark gate, the empress, and the reason why she was unconscious was caused by the short distance between her jumping into the door and entering the space where Sig and the others were.
"You're awake......"
"Ah, Sig, the concubine has come to save you...... Hiss ......"
Sieg hurriedly pressed the empress who wanted to get up, and sighed:
"Why did you come in......"
Then looking at the empress's pale face, Sieg frowned fiercely again, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes:
"Also, who hurt you?"
The empress shook her head, and the gaze that instantly became hot because of Sieg's last sentence made Sieg immediately realize her mistake, and quickly avoided her face in embarrassment.
Smiled sweetly, the empress's face became serious, and she did not answer Sieg's previous question:
"No one hurt me, it's the weird dark space outside!"
Sieg's expression froze, and he couldn't care about his little embarrassment anymore:
"Pitch black space? Can you elaborate on that? ”
"I don't know what it is, but when I jumped into it, I felt a tearing pain all over my body, and if I hadn't activated my abilities, I wouldn't have been able to make it to you......"
Seeing Siggy's solemnity, the empress, who also knew the seriousness of the matter, explained the process in great detail, including her newly developed abilities, and Sieg also asked some details from time to time that she hadn't noticed, and soon, that space had a general idea in Sige's mind.
First of all, the space does not seem to welcome all foreign objects, and this rejection is not squeezing or cutting, but a strange feeling of expansion that seems to start at the cellular level, as if the body is about to explode.
Secondly, there doesn't even seem to be a concept of direction and distance in that space, if it weren't for the empress using her ability to 'fix' herself, and she had a contractual connection with Sigurd, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to get here even if she could stop that sense of expansion.
In the end, the small space they were in was being eaten away by the pitch black at this time, and if they didn't find a solution quickly, all of them would be blown to pieces along with this small space.
The first and second points are that Seeger has not personally experienced it, so he can't have a very accurate concept, and if the feeling of expansion is similar to the concept of vacuum that he knew in his previous life, he doesn't know what it means at all if the so-called direction and distance don't exist.
But on the third point, he knew that what the Empress said was true, because the reason why he had been silent before was precisely because of the shrinking space in his circular ability perception......
