Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Witch's Pupil

First, he was happy that a good seedling appeared in their naval camp for a while, and then, the pheasant put on a lazy and lazy look as always, and scratched his head again, "Ahhh

"Anyway... So what... Now you're just guessing, little girl~"

The pheasant said very easily, and even brought out a bit of a joke, "Won't it be beautiful if you frown~"

But his words to ease the atmosphere had no effect.

The young girl narrowed her eyes slightly, her face was cold, and her momentum became closer and closer to the counselors of the staff who were good at using their brains, "When it comes to mother's safety, any assumption is not the worst plan." ”

"Okay, okay~" Pheasant raised his hand slightly in a compromise gesture, "So-" He suddenly stopped halfway through the conversation, put down his hand, and pulled out the phone snail that began to bark from his pocket.

Holding the little snail that made a brulan sound in his palm, the lazy general stared at it with a hint of vague worry in his eyes, and since he came to the Ministry of Science, he had waited for the phone to ring.

Pheasant's lieutenant stayed with Ize, and he asked the lieutenant to notify him as soon as he had news, but at this moment, it seemed that the news had finally arrived, and he didn't really want to pick it up.

Izawa... The kid was unconscious... If it's bad news...

…………

After hesitating for a moment and sighing silently, the pheasant slowly pressed the button and picked up the call.

"General Kuzan—" The phone snail accurately personified, and his adjutant on the other end of the call looked relaxed, "Izawa woke up. ”

The eyebrows moved, and the pheasant exhaled without a trace, and before he could answer, he heard the adjutant continue, "Chief Gregor, please come now." ”

The voice fell, and the adjutant cut off the communication in the background that somehow suddenly became noisy.

"Ahh ”

On the other side of the pantry, the yellow ape just walked out, and raised his hand when he met his gaze, pinching a communication bug in his fingertips, it was obvious that when the pheasant received a call from the adjutant, the supreme commander of the Ministry of Science was also informed of the latest progress.

"Then let's take a trip~" The pheasant shrugged, got up, put his hands in/into his pants pockets, and tilted his head slightly, "Together?" ”

"Ah~" The ghost spider raised her eyelids and responded lightly.

…………

Then, before he got down to business, he paced to the entrance of the office, and the pheasant glanced at the yellow ape blocking the exit of the pantry, and his eyes curiously tried to glance over his colleague and look further in.

Anyway, he's really curious~ There was a rush of war just now... It looks like Polusalino is fine, so... Could it be Lady Anna who suffers?

The lazy general had a casual expression that deceived the world in the past, and once again gossiped silently.

Then he saw the lady.

The figure of the yellow ape occupies most of the space, and through the gap, the pheasant sees that the lady is neatly dressed, and her hair is not messy, and then she still smiles as gentle as water, but...

The eyes staring at the yellow ape were not very friendly.

The little girl who followed the pheasant quickly changed her face, "Mom~" pouted like every wayward child who didn't grow up, trying her best to get her supreme commander out of the eyesore, "Mom~ Mr. Yellow Ape General is going to work, we..."

"Yay~ Anna, of course, go along." The yellow ape smiled very tolerantly, like a perfect good boss, "You know, there is a great shortage of people in my science department. ”

"Anna won't go back to work at the Navy Military Academy for the time being, then..." The corner of his eye slanted at the person who was walking out of his side, and the yellow ape general's lips hooked slightly... In the eyes of the pheasant, it usually represents a bad idea of his colleague's laughter.

"It's just right, the patients who are admitted need to be taken care of by nurses~" In the next second, one of the admirals, the man in charge of the Ministry of Science, showed a relieved expression of 'finding life-saving medicine for patients who are suffering from illness'.

What a sounding ... The pheasant rolled her eyes without a trace, and unusually wisely reached out to open the door, dodging outside, and by the way, she left behind the strange mess in the room.

If the little girl is really murderous or something, the ghost spider sneers meaningfully or something... The distant pheasant general said that he really didn't know at all.

How can he detect it?

So... Ahh

With both hands back in his pockets, the pheasant, who was finally relieved after receiving the good news, looked relaxed and waited while walking.

After a while, the door of the office behind him opened, and a few senses of existence were quickly embellished behind him, and he began to move forward in the same direction as him.

…………

The Department of Naval Science, an underground secret testing site, temporarily opened an area for the treatment of infected people.

At the end of the silent corridor, the pheasant's lieutenant stood, and when he saw his boss hurrying towards him, he immediately reached out and opened the door beside him.

A few people led by the yellow ape and the pheasant quickly approached,

"General Kuzan." The calm adjutant stood upright, saluted, paused, and turned his gaze to the other two high-ranking generals, "General Yellow Ape, Lieutenant General Ghost Spider." ”

"Ahhh The pheasant raised his hand and patted his adjutant, with a slight smile on his face, it is undeniable that he was relieved, after all, the child who grew up watching it, had this kind of accident, as an elder, he... I was worried until the good news came.

"yes yes ~ don't be so formal." The yellow ape also laughed casually.

After the pleasantries, several people entered the room.

…………

Compared to the other sealed isolation rooms in the secret test site, the room at the end of the corridor looks ordinary, not equipped with high-strength tempered glass partitions, but like an ordinary hospital ward.

Even the measuring instruments were nowhere to be seen, and in a corner of the steel single bed, the young man was half-up and leaning on the pillow, his arms sleeves were raised, and the head of the medical department, Gregor, was standing by the bedside. House examined him.

Zhan Taomaru stood in a farther position, and when he heard the movement, he spoke, "Old man." ”

"Yay~" The yellow ape's eyes flashed slightly, and he quickly stared at the newly infected, and his eyebrow bones jumped without a trace, but he didn't speak for the time being, nor did he follow the pheasant closer, but changed his route, and slowly paced to the edge of the battle peach pill, and the corners of his mouth hooked.

Izhe, the newly infected, the person who was supposed to stay in the sealed isolation ward here, the yellow ape didn't think it was a special treatment for the descendants of the general pheasant, Gregor. House is not a man who knows how to show favoritism, and the reason for this...

"Uncle Kuzan." The young man's voice sounded a little weak, but he was in good spirits.

After a while, the examination ended quickly, retracted the stethoscope, gave up the place to the pheasant, and then turned his face to the others and bowed slightly, and after a silent greeting, the head of the medical department said slowly, "He is lucky, the awakening domineering barrier mutation is further spreading." ”

That's why he woke up, and the yellow ape, who already had the answer on the way here, raised his eyebrows, "Yay~ The young man is very lucky." ”

His gaze slid over the pale young man on the hospital bed, and the yellow ape also hid his feelings of relief in silence, awakening domineeringly when his life was at stake, to stop the spread of infection, and the younger generation of the pheasant was really lucky.

If not... I'm afraid that I will have to endure a lot of hardship, just weakening day after day, slowly exhausting my vitality, that kind of experience, for young people, in addition to physical pain, mental trauma.

The other infected people are only saved until their lives are hanging by a thread, and in the process, until now, the Ministry of Science has not been able to find an effective treatment plan, and Nana's overlord color is falling into a dormant period, and the time of recovery is unpredictable.

After thinking about it, the yellow ape exhaled softly, fortunately...

Together with the severely infected people who are recovering, these are the new generation of the Navy, and this time the virus has brought about mutations, and the death of one is a senseless sacrifice, and it is a loss for the Navy in the future.

Fortunately, fate did not treat their naval camp harshly.

…………

During this little time when the yellow ape was slightly distracted, Xu is feelings were steady, and the young second-year chief of the military academy finally took the time to pay attention... Others who came to visit him.

Looking at the three admirals with respectful expressions, staring at Sentomaru with a slightly displeased gaze, and finally, the yellow ape found that the young man quickly glanced at the little girl from his science department with very tangled eyes, his expression was half annoyed and half surprised.

It was only a few seconds before Izawa staggered his gaze towards Nana, who was in the same grade in the military academy, and his gaze shifted a few degrees... But in the next second, the pupils constricted imperceptibly?

Slightly stunned, the yellow ape followed the young man's strange gaze and looked at Anna.

She stood slightly behind the crowd, as she was used to, unobtrusive, as if she didn't like to be the center of attention.

At this time, she smiled softly and politely at Izawa's eyes, "Ize-san." ”

By the way, she was in the infirmary of the Navy Military Academy recently, and seeing her reaction, the yellow ape remembered that she should recognize the second-year chief, but... Ize's reaction was a little weird, what the hell was going on?

"Miss Nurse." The young man's tone was hesitant.

"Ahhh Apparently also discovering the strange appearance of the juniors, the pheasant opened his mouth and asked, "But I heard that Mrs. Anna is very popular in the military academy~"

Putting away the strange feeling that slipped through his heart, the yellow ape turned his face back, glanced at the young man on the bed a few times, and then laughed, "yes~ Indeed, I also heard about it~"

After the two admirals spoke, the young man's expressions were stunned, and then he came back to his senses, shrugging his shoulders and looking helpless, "Miss Nurse, who extracted teeth from the vice, scared away many people who were going to pursue her. ”

Hearing this, the pheasant suddenly laughed out loud when he thought of something, "Ahhhh In this way, the tradition of the Navy Headquarters Hospital, Mrs. Anna has also inherited it very well~"

"yes~" Imagine it a little, the yellow ape took the corner of his eyes and touched the gentle and quiet lady, seeing that she seemed a little embarrassed to raise her hand to support her forehead, the smile at the corner of her mouth suddenly deepened a little, "The first beauty in the naval hospital back then, the guy who pursued her now has palpitations when he mentions it." ”

…………

Xu let the two admirals tease, her hand holding her forehead slowly slid down a few points, changed to one hand to cover her face, her palm half covered her face and she couldn't see clearly, through the gap between her fingertips, her cheeks were obviously flushed.

Even her ears are burning red~ Looking at her quietly, the yellow ape's eyes darkened, but before he could make any more efforts to make her face blush more thoroughly, the little girl standing beside her glared at the person who 'bullied her mother' with an unhappy face.

The little subordinate of his science department quickly withdrew his glaring gaze, reached out and grabbed the corner of his mother's clothes, and when she put down the tenderness in her eyes, the little girl whispered as if she had the courage to speak, "Mom~ I don't like sweets now, my teeth are very good, really." ”

"Huh? Nana, don't worry, I know it's good~" She was immediately distracted, and looked at her daughter with a smile whose eyes were so soft that they could drip water, "Baby is the most well-behaved." ”

The little girl snorted a few times and plunged her head into her arms, hugged her tightly and did not let go, and by the way, taking advantage of her inattention, turned her face and threw out a vicious knife, half showing off and half warning eyes.

The corners of the yellow ape's mouth twitched silently, and he suddenly felt that all the people under his command had brought his vices into full play, and he didn't blink his eyes when he deceived people! Nana, this little ghost, is it nature? Still is... Has he been taught crookedly for a long time during this time?

…………

After a while, the little ghost holding her said sullenly, "Mom~ I'm hungry, and the yellow ape general has snatched my snacks..."

"Huh?" She blinked, her gaze raised a few points, "Snatch? ”

"Yay~" The yellow ape quickly raised his eyes to look at the ceiling, trying to find the route map to Ralph Dru from the snow-white paint, and said quite sternly, "The child is growing up, and it is my fault to be hungry for her, uh~"

"Anna can take her for a bite to eat." The face did not change and shirked the responsibility by the way, and then, the yellow ape's gaze fell a little, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, "By the way, let Ah Tao also get wet?" ”

…………

After a while, when she led Sentomaru and Nana out of the room, the door closed.

Only then did the yellow ape put away his careless look, lowered his volume, and muttered, "It's very sensitive~" As if talking to himself, he turned his face with a smile and a smug expression, "The little girl under my command is great, right?" ”

The young girl's seemingly undisciplined behavior is actually a quiet exit, taking away Sentomaru and Anna, who shouldn't have heard too much, and in terms of looking at the face, the listener of the voice of all things is like a cheater.

I thought about it happily, and then-----The yellow ape put away his frivolity and carelessness, and a trace of solemnity appeared between his eyebrows, "yes~ Then it's time for us to talk about business." ”

…………

Greg. House put the utensils into the medical box that was set aside, and looked at the yellow ape inquiringly, "Do you need me to be absent first?" ”

"Yay~Greg is still here~" As he spoke, the yellow ape looked at the next party and frowned, "Are the memories bloody?" Your spirit is starting to become unstable~"

"I'm sorry." The face of the chief young man of the second year of the Navy Academy showed a slight horror, "I..."

"yes yes ~ maybe you should get some sleep." Seeing that the young man's gaze was imperceptible and slackened, the yellow ape's tone eased a little, "Don't be reckless, after all, you're still a child, don't let Kuzan worry~"

"Uncle Kuzan." The young junior turned his gaze to the pheasant, and after a while, his expression was fixed, and he whispered, "I'm fine, um~ It's just that the scene was very dark at that time..."

"Why did you say Anna's name?" The ghost spider, who had always been watching coldly, spoke, "The woman from Flower Street said, passing through the dark alley, you mentioned Anna's name. ”

Stunned by the sudden question, and then as if he thought about it, the young man showed a reminiscing expression, "In the dark, it looks like a nurse from the side... I'll just walk in... It turned out not to be her. ”

…………

Perhaps the narration is reminiscent of the scene at that time, Izawa's face turned pale again, the rhythm between the words accelerated, and the tone seemed unstable:

"The lights in the alley were dimmer than on the street, and when I went in, I realized that I thought it was a lover's hug, but I saw that she was pressed against the wall, and the short one bit her throat..."

"The attack speed is very fast, first throw the people I am carrying into the wall and knock them unconscious..."

"In less than two minutes, I also lost my resistance... I can only lie on the ground and watch the one eat again..."

"I thought I was going to die, and I was going to be eaten alive like that woman."

"Before I lost consciousness, I saw another one in the shadows..."

…………

"Two attackers?"

The yellow ape was stunned, and reacted quickly, this surprise is even more extraordinary, there are two attackers, and one ghost spider is captured alive, so there are still fish that slipped through the net in the town of Marlingford?!

"Yes." Izawa nodded, pursed the corners of his mouth, and showed a hint of hesitation in his expression, "It's strange, I didn't have any sense of zài before I came out, and at first glance I looked a little like Miss Nurse." ”

"It's not the looks, it's... Temperament and charm, all three are a little similar. ”

As he spoke, Ize looked at the two generals and a lieutenant general present, and after a few hesitations, he said in a dumb voice, "Miss Nurse's eyes are beautiful, like Cleopatra. ”

"Yay~" The yellow ape raised his eyebrows, 'Cleopatra' is the most famous emerald gemstone in the world, set in the crown of the same name, Ize suddenly mentioned... There must be a strange reason.

After a short silence, Izawa smiled bitterly again, "But before yesterday, Miss Nurse's eyes were inky and obsidian. ”

…………

"How is that possible?" The yellow ape suddenly snorted, "Anna's eyes... Wait a minute! After being stunned, he looked at Ize carefully, and then realized, "So, you just saw her... Generate hostility. ”

Because suddenly I noticed that her eyes were not the right color.

"Is Miss Nurse really Miss Nurse?" Izawa asked in a low voice, not knowing whether to ask the others present, or simply to himself, "Is the person who came to visit before the same person?" ”

Hearing this, the yellow ape's heart moved slightly, and he seemed to grasp the key point in an instant, but he didn't have time to think about it, and that bit of inspiration disappeared in an instant.

"Anna's eyes are always green." The ghost spider replied in a deep voice, "Your suspicions are not valid. ”

Xu is found that several people present agreed with the ghost spider's point of view, Ize's expression was even more suspicious, seeing this, the yellow ape raised his hand and pressed the corner of his forehead, calmed down and began to think:

Ize was suspicious that Anna had been replaced, and the Anna in this room just now was not the Anna before---for good reason, the color of her eyes had changed, and no one's eyes could change color, whether it was domineering or Devil Fruit ability, it was obvious.

However, Anna is indeed Anna, and she has not been replaced.

Because, at first sight of her, her eyes were green, the kind of beautiful and bright jewel color, the yellow ape once secretly admired, her eyes were like the finest emeralds.

The ghost spider said the same, he had been with her in the naval hospital, if there was a replacement, not to mention that a few of them would immediately notice it if they saw and heard it, it was Nana...

So, without replacing, Anna is indeed Anna.

…………

In a flash, the yellow ape put down his hand, and was about to say something by Greg on the side. House took the first step to speak, "Little girl Nana is born to see and hear, and she will find out if her mother is abnormal." ”

So, the anomaly itself, should be Anna.

"Domineering." The yellow ape narrowed his eyes, and the man in charge of the Naval Science Department quickly figured out the answer, "Izawa has awakened domineeringly, and what he sees has become the same as ours. ”

"To be exact, Anna's eyes are inky in the eyes of ordinary people."

"The reason why no one has found out for so many years is because we all have blind spots in our thinking."

After a meaningful pause, the yellow ape turned his gaze to the ghost spider, and their lieutenant general frowned, and in an instant, his eyes widened slightly, as if he had thought of something, and a few traces of realization appeared between his eyebrows.

The yellow ape withdrew his gaze from the ghost spider looking at each other, lowered his voice, and slowly continued, "No one would go out of their way to ask others what the color of a particular person's eyes was. ”

"How incredible."

In the end, the yellow ape sighed softly, and the smile on his lips slightly hooked showed vigilance and... Deep interest.

On Anna's file, the photo was originally black and white, did she do it on purpose, or was it a coincidence?
