Chapter 400: Persecution
"You're overrated." Smuji said with a smile, looking much more relaxed than before.
"To be honest, after coming to Cake Island, there is only one feeling for me here, and that is unreal." Yang Bai suddenly changed the topic.
"Is it the illusion of a fairy tale?" Smuji wondered.
Shaking his head, Yang Bai suddenly stopped talking, as if he was in deep thought.
Looking at Yang Bai, at this moment, she suddenly had a feeling: this man seemed to be a little handsome.
After being silent for about ten seconds, Yang Bai sighed, and then said in a deep voice: "The illusory I am talking about is that under the appearance of an illusory fairy tale, there is a cruel law of the jungle; It is under the disguise of illusory feelings, there is a cold and strict discipline hidden; It is the unreal joy that hides the pathos of the heart of fear. ”
Listening in a trance, Smuji seemed to understand what Yang Bai wanted to express, but he couldn't believe that Yang Bai would say these words to her.
"Can you feel the temperature of my hand?" Yang Bai suddenly grabbed Smuji's hand and asked.
"I ...... I ......" turned his head and didn't dare to look at Yang Bai, Smuji's first thought at the moment was not to withdraw his hand, but to have some hot cheeks.
She felt a little strange about herself, if another man did such an outrageous thing to her, she would definitely pull out a knife and cut him, but now she didn't resist it at all.
"Look at me!" Yang Bai said in an accentuated voice.
His voice seemed magical, causing Smuge to turn her head to meet his eyes, and she saw a pair of eyes that were incredibly sincere.
"Again, can you feel the temperature of my hand?"
"I ...... I can! Smuge's voice changed from hesitation to affirmation.
"But I can feel that there is no temperature in your heart, have you ever asked yourself, is all this really what you want? Is your existence really what you have chosen? ”
"I don't know......" Smuji replied, slightly disappointed.
"Haha, just talk, don't be too nervous." Suddenly let go of his hand with a loud laugh, Yang Bai accepted it when he saw it, and did not overly oppress Smuji.
Turned her head away again, Smuji was in a trance, Yang Bai let go of her hand, she should have felt relaxed, but for some reason there was still a trace of loss.
"I heard you caught a Navy spy a while ago?" Yang Bai changed the topic at a speed like a roller coaster going uphill and downhill, so that before Smuji could come back to his senses, he instinctively answered.
"Yes, that man is from Kaido's side, and it is said that his identity was exposed because he moved the private messages between Kaido-sama and his mother, and is now being held in the library of Brother Mondol for questioning."
As soon as he said these words, Smuji, who came to his senses, regretted it. The first thing she did was look around and let out a sigh of relief.
It can be seen that she is not guilty of leaking secrets, the key is that she is afraid that this matter will be found out and punished.
"Mr. Yang Bai, why are you asking such a question? And it stands to reason that this matter should be confidential...... "Smuji was not stupid at all, and after coming back to her senses, she raised doubts about Yang Bai.
At the same time, there was also a guess in her heart, could it be that Yang Bai was a person in the navy?
Of course, this stupid idea was vetoed by Smuji the moment it appeared, first of all, Yang Bai's identity was once a crew member of One Piece, and secondly, what he did in the top war was well known.
Let's not talk about how desperate he would be if he was still a member of the government. Even the things he did could never be a member of the government, so did he still want to destroy himself?
In this way, there are not many possibilities that can be guessed, and Smuji guessed that Yang Bai might have some agreement with the navy, so the purpose of his trip was ......
Looking at him, the gaze became a little complicated, originally as her own Pirate Troupe Cookie Three Generals, after learning such news, the most important thing she should do was to report the matter to him as soon as possible, but she didn't want to do it.
She couldn't describe her mixed emotions, and she was already beginning to doubt herself.
"Smuji, what are your dreams?" Yang Bai suddenly became the mentor of a show in his previous life.
"My dream is to become stronger, protect the pirates from being violated, become my mother's right-hand man, and help her become the king of the pirates!" Smuji gave this mechanical answer almost instinctively.
"That's not what you have in your heart." Yang Bai held Smuji's hand again as he spoke, and then closed his eyes with feeling.
In fact, it is more important to put his hand on Smurge's chest now, but Yang Bai is afraid that if he does this, he will make Smurji blow up.
"I want to protect my younger siblings and be a proud presence for my older siblings." Finally, Smuji spoke her heart.
Isn't there kinship in the pirates? Actually, it exists.
For these heirs who have not felt family affection since childhood, the love of brothers and sisters has long been linked.
"With all due respect, if the Pirates are still like this, then you will have no future at all." Yang Bai said in a cruel tone.
Stunned in place, Smuji suddenly remembered that during tea one afternoon, Katakuri's brother had inadvertently said something similar.
"Future...... Is it? Smuji lowered her head and began to think, she never seemed to have considered such a question.
As a genius among brothers and sisters, that is, a monster among monsters, she sat in the position of the fourth star of dessert at the age of thirty.
But all along, she has lived very unreal, in the eyes of her mother, she has never felt feelings, and her love for herself is also based on her strong strength.
She never asked herself, and she didn't dare to ask, "What do I really want?" ”
"It's not early, I might have to rest." Suddenly, Yang Bai's words broke Smuji's thinking.
Coming back to her senses, Smuji smiled reluctantly, and didn't ask Yang Bai about Drake's matter again, nor did she plan to tell about it, she just felt like a mess in her heart now, and wanted to be alone and quiet.
With a faint smile on his face, looking at Smuji's somewhat stumbling back, Yang Bai already knew it in his heart.
Sure enough, the seemingly glorious palace of the Pirates has long been dilapidated. The pillars that supported it had actually begun to shake a long time ago.
"But now is not enough, they have not yet taken the blow, and the blow is already imminent." Tapping on the table, a figure wearing a straw hat appeared in front of Yang Bai's eyes.
