The plan is always unable to keep up with the changes.

In Chino's plan, he did not expect to meet the empress on the island of Ruskaina. After all, although this island is not far from Daughter Island, it is not like the fortress of BIG MOM outside Cake Island, which is densely packed with all countries.

If it weren't for the anime, where Reilly trained Luffy for two years, Chino wouldn't have chosen this island.

In his plan, after successful training, he would leave here and make a name for himself outside, claiming the position of the Seven Martial Seas like Blackbeard. Then it was to rush in front of Luffy, kill a few Draconians, and then go to see the empress.

As for Luffy, even if he also fights the Draconian, so what?

The second crab-eater is not a hero.

With his jewel in front of him, whether Luffy can beat the Celestial Dragons has to be said separately.

However, he didn't expect that the Protector would actually leave Nine Snake Island and kill it.

I didn't expect that I had a wave of beeps with Margaret, and I ended up putting myself in.

Before he could leave, the empress killed.

As for the wounds on the body?

When he pushed the 'Chino' deity into the sea to feed the fish, he stripped her naked clothes and carefully identified any special marks, birthmarks, scars, etc.

As a result, there are indeed many wounds on the body of the deity. There are both the chest and the back, as well as the modified 'Draco hoof print' on the back. Like the Sun Pirates, they turned their hoof prints into the sun. Of course he's not the sun, it's a strange thing.

However, the preconceived Chino naturally saw the truth of the brand.

There were no birthmarks, no marks, and no particular wounds.

Chino had learned something from the police uncle he recognized, and he was able to tell the age of the scars.

He can pat his chest very confidently, and most of the scars on Chino's chest have been caused in the last five years. Judging from Ya's self-talk, Ya was already a pirate at that time, and he was no longer in the slave barracks of the Draconians.

So those knife wounds should have been left over the years when I fought with the pirates.

The Empress would not have known this.

There was only one wound, more than 10 years old, and the heart of 'Chino' was obliquely angled at an angle of 45 degrees, about two fingers wide.

He's not a policeman, he's just learned a little, and he can judge that it's good, and he can't tell the wound more than ten years old.

Coincidentally, he also had such a wound on his body.

When I was a child, I was peeling apples in bed, but I accidentally fell out of bed and was stabbed by the fruit knife in my hand.

If it were a centimeter deeper, there would be no crossing of Chino now.

I don't know why?

Delusion, perhaps......

When the empress saw this wound, there was a touch of 'tenderness' in her cold eyes, just like when she looked at Luffy in the original work.

No, no, no!

Not that yet.

But there is no doubt that the empress's cold and sharp murderous aura has melted a little.

"Turn around!"

“……”

Am I going to turn around?

Chino shivered, not knowing if it was the wind blowing or being scared. Turn around, just in case...... What should the empress do to him?

But he was stunned for a second, and then turned around.

Maybe it's because he trusts the empress's glory and won't attack the enemy who is carrying her back, or maybe Chino is confident that his 'radar net' can dodge the moment the empress makes a move.

“！”

At the moment when Chino turned around, the empress covered her mouth, and her graceful body couldn't help but tremble. His steps were a little vain, and he involuntarily leaned against the tree on the side.

What kind of wound does that look like?

A huge scar in the middle of his back took up almost a third of his back.

And that...... The criss-crossing whip marks, although they have dimmed a lot, can still clearly see what kind of inhumane torture they were subjected to at that time.

These scars are also one of the reasons why Chino is not afraid of the empress.

When I was young, the orphanage came to a cruel management, and I especially liked corporal punishment of children.

Chino is one of them.

The back, arms, and even PP were whipped no less than a hundred times. Hehe, it's a coincidence, the back of the 'Chino' deity is the same, but he was whipped by the Celestial Dragons.

"You ......"

"Ah, I was cut off with a knife, and I cut off such a large piece of skin. Heh, I almost didn't survive. ”

Chino turned his back to the empress and gestured with both hands, which were the size of three palms.

How many taels of meat can you have on your back?

If you're not careful, you'll have your bones exposed.

In fact, this is the trace of Chino accidentally falling off the boat when he was a child and being cut by the propeller, and he did not come back to life.

Cut out?

Cut out?

Cut?

The Empress was 'soft' again, and her whole back rested against the trunk. After ten years of imperial career, she no longer shed a single tear after training, but today...... She still dropped.

In the hazy eyes, the figure of the nineteen-year-old Chino and the six-year-old Chino in front of her gradually overlapped.

It's so brave!

It's so fearless!

It's also so ruthless!

Be ruthless to your enemies and ...... yourself More ruthless!

Six-year-old Chino dared to stand in front of her, no matter how much those brutes whipped, they would not move!

At the age of nineteen, he dared to cut off the skin of his back with a knife, just for the humiliation to be gone!

"You...... Why didn't you re-brand it, like the Sun Pirates? ”

"The sun?"

Chino didn't turn around, because the empress was dazzled, and the powerful empress would not allow others to see her weak side, even the closest ones.

Therefore, he is giving the empress time to restart the powerful, cold iceberg royal sister empress.

did not disappoint Chino, the empress quickly cleaned up the traces, and once again became the high-ranking daughter island emperor.

"It's nothing, you turn around."

The Empress suddenly reacted, not everyone knew about the fish-man hero Fisher Tiger's 'Sun Pirates'.

Chino slowly turned around, relieved in his heart, it seemed that he had been deceived.

Just wanted to lift the clothes, but only to react that the navy uniform had already been burned to ashes by him.

Waterfall Khan!

"You...... Is there anything you want to say to me? ”

Hold the grass?

I'm!

How does this sentence feel like when a man and a woman are dating, under the telephone pole in the moonlight, the woman asks in an expectant tone with affection: Do you have anything to say to me?

This is encouragement!

It's anticipation!

Expect the men to half-kneel on the ground, squeeze their little hands very sincerely and say: Can you marry me?

Almost for a moment, Chino wanted to get to his knees.

Calm down, calm down, calm down ah Chino!

This is not the hero and heroine in a romance drama, this is the empress of the cold iceberg, it is impossible for her to make such a hopeful expression.

Be brave enough to speak up, brother!

Let's do it!

Don't let the regrets of your past life repeat yourself!

You're no longer a poor man.

Well, it's still poor.

"I ...... I want to ask you a word, just like 13 years ago, if one day we can leave alive, will you be my wife? ”

Nima!

Say it!

Say it, oh also!

Anyway, the ...... who don't die Men finally said it, ahhhh

Chino's heart was pounding, he felt that he was already at 300 per hour, would it explode?

He was even prepared to deal with all the reactions of the empress.

However, this reaction ......

The empress did not get angry, nor did she rush up and petrify him directly, but slightly calm and slender eyebrows, with a look of surprise.

"Did you say that?"

"Huh?"
