9. Zou (9)
"Boy." Aside from the others, the cat pit viper boss and Luo sat face to face, and the banquet not far away was still lively, and the bonfire was burning to the fullest.
The silence of this area seemed to be far away, and the cat pit viper boss casually put down the wine bottle, "You are the person of the 'world'." ”
The cat pit viper did not miss the coldness of the young man's black and gray eyes. He had seen such a look, a look that only those who had stepped into darkness would have.
Ruthless and ...... Crazy.
Luo didn't deny it, and nodded slightly.
No one knew what the Lynx Pit Viper had said to Law, and since that day, Law has stayed in Zou.
Neither Luo nor the cat pit viper boss took the initiative to talk about what they talked about that day, and Anne didn't ask much, she believed that since the cat pit viper boss promised Luo to stay, he would definitely not do superfluous things or regret it.
However, it was also from that day on, that Anne never dreamed of Pandora and Winter and that mysterious world again. The box still couldn't be opened, and it slept quietly.
【Bloodstained Rose】
Anne stroked the silver cross sword in her hand, the slender blade, the exquisite Mithril pattern, and the intersection of the sword body and the handle were inlaid with a diamond-shaped red gemstone, which was warm to the touch. It's more like a beautiful artifact than a combat weapon.
There are a total of twelve treasures that accompany her. Since she was conscious, she knew their names and knew how to use them. But other than that, she didn't know anything. Among these twelve treasures, there are not a few who can directly transform into weapons.
But nothing felt so familiar to her like it. It was as if it had been held tightly countless times. In fact, of all the Noble Phantasms, only the Bloodstained Rose was never used by Anne. There is no other reason, only because, there is only one function of [Bloodstained Rose], that is, killing.
Whether it is the [Blood Thorn], [Blood Flower], [Blood Spring] or [Blood Prison] attached to it, it is all born for war. Bloodthorn can turn blood into a blade that pierces through enemies, Blood Bloom will turn blood into a barrier to hinder enemies, and Blood Fountain will draw the enemy's blood and store it for recovery, and those who set foot in Blood Hell will never heal until the blood runs out.
It is the most vicious of all the treasures.
Anne had dreamed that it was held in Pandora's hands. The blood that had lost its temperature stained it crimson.
Sword, with swordsmanship.
The staggered blades were endless, and Anne held a short sword, smoothly dealing with the long sword of the deer people in front of her, and the defense was not leaky.
Obviously I haven't learned, but when I first held the sword, I felt like I hadn't felt for a long time. Things that have always been taken for granted, after the dream, become different.
"There's a flaw on the left, Annie." Deer Dassault side sword.
Anne woke up, but her body reacted first. Almost a strange balance, the little girl had already stepped forward before Dassault had time to react, and the short sword stopped in front of Dassault's neck.
Here it is again, that feeling.
"Little Anne is really amazing." Dassault the deerman came back to his senses and looked at the delicate and delicate one in front of him, with some black lines, which obviously looked small, and it was completely like facing a beast just now.
"Little Annie's fighting talent is very strong, and so is her ability to learn."
"The little girl is still tender." The boss of the cat-bellied snake took the pipe into his mouth and snorted dissatisfiedly. How dangerous it is for the little girl's dancing knife to get a gun! What should I do if I get hurt!!
The subordinates spread their hands, and it was clear that the boss was happy to die, and he was still a dead duck with a hard mouth.
Buried in the water, she didn't like that feeling at all. It's annoying.
"Whew-"
Anne looked up and dried her face with a towel. flew onto the cushion next to the boss of the cat-belly snake and fell directly into it. Fluffy, fluffy, Anne's favorite.
The boss of the cat-bellied snake pushed the fruit bowl on one side in front of Anne with his tail and motioned for her to eat.
Anne picked up an apple and took a bite, with something in her mouth a little slurred, "Speaking of which, Cat Dad, Luo is really amazing!" ”
"Swallow and speak!" The cat-bellied snake boss almost wanted to knock the crazy girl in front of him with his pipe. It's not as soft as it is on the surface. It's a girl!! Anyway, he didn't want to hear about that stinky boy from his baby girl! =Dish=
"I heard that he was born into a doctor's family before." Anne opened the conversation and gestured with her hand to a very tall stack of books, "It's only been a few months, and he's read so many books!" By the way, cat and cat dad, is it very strict? Dr. Songdo said she had never seen such a difficult condition, and so did the other doctors. ”
"Perp Lead? This kid is from the White Town of the North Sea. The boss of the cat-bellied snake raised an eyebrow, "This is a notorious disease, and the people who live in that country seem to be cursed, and the life expectancy of the next generation is getting shorter and shorter." Specifically, the white spots that appear on the body, the same color as the lead produced in that country, are terminally ill with a reduced lifespan. There is currently no cure. ”
Seeing Anne stunned, the apple in her hand also loosened. The boss of the cat-bellied snake hurriedly comforted again, "It's not that it's hopeless, there is a kind of devil fruit that can do a qiē operation and cure all terminal diseases, the ultimate fruit of the doctor, the fruit of surgery." If you find someone who eats the fruit, you may be saved. ”
The ghost knows where that person is~ The boss of the cat-bellied snake smoked steadily.
"Ah, is that so, the devil fruit that Luo ate seems to be the fruit of surgery."
The cat-bellied snake boss choked on a puff of cigarette and choked on his throat, this kid is really ...... lucky-
*-*-*-
On days when she wasn't on duty, Anne's afternoons were usually spent training in martial arts. In the pure Mao clan, even small children have the ability to protect themselves to ensure that all are strong warriors in the event of an invasion by foreign enemies. Anne and Bebo are no exception.
Luo learned medical knowledge from Dr. Songduo. Sander's mother cleaned up the attic room, where he lived for the time being.
There are not many children of the pure Mao clan, and Anne has to contact training before Bebo, so Bebo usually trains with Annie.
Looking at the two little ones playing happily in the courtyard through the window, Luo held his side face and watched it for a long time.
The little girl cleverly chose to play to her strengths and avoid her weaknesses, avoiding almost all the clashes of positive forces, and using her excellent sense of balance and flexibility as well as the inertia of the opponent to dismantle the moves. Take Bebo with him to get him used to the fight.
What a gentle way. Luo remembered that during his time in the Don Quixote family, he followed the cadres of the family to learn a qiē fighting style, swordsmanship, physical skills, fighting skills, firearms, to put it bluntly, he was just being beaten. I also have to face Mr. Corazon, who plays his cards out of common sense......
Speaking of which, at the beginning, Mr. Corazon did hear his full name before he changed a lot, and he mentioned the D, and he also said that the people of this race are the natural enemies of the 'gods'.
The 'gods' in Mr. Corazon's mouth naturally cannot be the ethereal beings in the legends, but if you think about it, the only beings who can be called 'gods' in this world are those who live on the Red Earth Continent, the holy land of Mary Joya, and the Celestial Dragons.
And the letter that was hastily sent out in Minion...... Doflamingo, who followed, should not be like this if it was only for the fruit of the operation......
[He can't get anything meaningful from you, who is like ruining miè incarnation]
Almost screaming with all his might, as if to vent the faith he had always had.
Rowe had been wondering what Mr. Corazon wanted him to get.
Is it freedom?
In that long gray darkness, even if he escaped the border of the Iron Wall of White Town, and escaped the "fate" of dying in three years, he would not be free at the moment when Mr. Corazon died.
Maybe that wasn't what Corazon had hoped for, but it did become a yoke for him. Law knew that he would not be truly free until the moment he had not achieved Mr. Corazon's ideals and stopped Doflamingo completely. What awaits him after that?
His eyes fell on the blonde girl and he found that the little girl was also looking at him. Seeing herself, Anne smiled.
Like a sunny daisy, it is quiet time.
【Fresh】【Life】
- No one can limit you anymore.
There was a moment of palpitations, as if I had crossed time and space, through life and death. The man's hand landed lightly on his shoulder, and with a gentle pat, it faded away in the direction opposite to him.
- So, live the way you want.
Luo thought he had some understanding, probably something that made sense in Mr. Corazon's mouth.
What Corazon the Red Heart really wanted to bring him was a fiery heart. And, the burning faith in that heart.
Luo looked at the two figures chasing in the small courtyard, and the blonde girl smiled without haze. Just like the light, warm and bright. Curling the corners of his mouth, Luo revealed a faint smile.
Throughout his life, no one will be truly free. Everyone was carrying the cross on their backs, and so was Mr. Corazon, but even so, he could not give up his desire for freedom. When the moment you want to achieve it is freedom-
*-*-*-
It was late at night when Anne left the Whale Forest and returned to her home in town, and when she passed by the courtyard, she saw that the lights in the attic were still on.
Anne flew up to the balcony and saw the black-haired boy reading a thick book of medical skills by the light, holding a pen in his hand and recording something in his notebook from time to time.
Three years have made the young man a lot taller, and the warm orange light adds a little warmth to the young man's cold facial contours. Anne looked at the boy with a softness in her eyes that she hadn't even noticed.
"You really like flying." Luo didn't raise his head.
"You really like to read." Anne sat on the edge of the window with a smile, and her two white feet were swaying in the night breeze. She likes to fly in the air and doesn't like to wear shoes.
"Nope." Luo pursed his lips, and the pen paused slightly. The richer the medical knowledge of the surgical fruit, the more it can bring out the power of the fruit. If he wants to live, he must rely on the power of the fruit of surgery.
"I just need this knowledge."
"I just need this knowledge."
Luo looked up at the little blonde girl and said the same thing as him with a straight face, his index finger tapping lightly with the characters that came out one by one.
"I knew you would say that." Anne leaned on the edge of the window and swung her feet twice, her scarlet eyes narrowed into two crescents with a smile, and wrinkled her nose, "It's not cute." ”
"I'm a pirate." Law turned his head and continued to copy his notes. Dismisses Anne's "cuteness". After he set his goals, he knew what he had to do best.
Pirate. Yes, sooner or later, Luo will leave here.
Hearing Luo's answer, Anne opened her eyes and looked up at the starry sky, and the loss in her heart was difficult to hide. It took a long time to speak, without joy or anger, as if he was just asking an extremely ordinary question, "Luo, why do you want to go to the pirates?" The Mr. Klasson you respect was killed by pirates, wasn't he? ”
Anne sat on the windowsill, and Law couldn't see her expression. Anne didn't see Luo Wei's stiff brushstrokes either. But instead of answering the question, Rowe talked about something else that was completely unrelated.
"Legend has it that One Piece, Gore D. Roger, after his death, buried all his treasures at the end of the Great Voyage. 【OnePiece】。 ”
"You want to get [OnePiece]? Or, do you want to be the king of the pirates? ”
"Who knows?" Luo curled the corners of his lips, and suddenly felt that his thoughts about the operation were much clearer.
Anne chuckled softly, and the night wind curled the girl's long hair, "I heard that One Piece is the freest person on this ocean. ”
How can such a person stop in one place forever?
Luo wrote down his own surgical ideas smoothly, and responded to Anne's whisper, "Don't you want to see it, great voyage." ”
The little girl was slightly stunned: "Are you inviting me?" ”
"Are you going to be my crew?" Law took the moment to glance at Anne, half-joking, half-formal.
The little girl flew into the air and made a grimace at Luo, and then flew around again: "If Cat's father knew that I was going to be a pirate, he would probably smash the pipe in anger?" ”
"Probably throwing me into the sea." Thinking of the big cat monster and its shortness, Luo shrugged his shoulders and made a joke. Then staring at the little girl who stopped in mid-air, Luo said seriously-
"Come with me, Annie."
"To the Great Voyage."
