Chapter 30: Nothing Left Behind (Part 2)

"That's Xiao Feng's voice!"

Liu Mengchao was still talking to Liu Ling, and Luffy was already shouting over there. The One Piece with a straight intestine jumped directly in front of Liu Mengchao and said excitedly to him.

"Xiao Feng is a very good person, his friend."

"So we're going to save him?"

Liu Mengchao said to Luffy with a smile.

"Hmm!"

Luffy nodded without hesitation, and slammed his feet on the ground, and the whole person bounced straight up, and a long string of sand grains floated at Luffy's feet like a ribbon.

"Xiao Feng, where are you?"

Luffy, who was flying in mid-air, let out a loud shout.

Liu Mengchao narrowed his eyes, looked at Liu Ling standing beside him and nodded.

"Let's get moving."

These are Liu Mengchao's words, Liu Ling nodded slowly.

"Let's go."

Seeing Luffy fall to the ground with a slight frustration, Liu Mengchao smiled slightly and walked to Luffy's side. I saw Liu Mengchao gently pat Luffy's shoulder and said with a smile, "You're here to save Ace, right?" ”

"Hmmm! I'm here to save Ace! Do you know Ace too!? ”

Luffy glanced at Liu Mengchao in confusion, One Piece's mind is extremely shallow, but he seems to be able to see through people's hearts. I saw Luffy nodding vigorously at Liu Mengchao, and said seriously, "I feel like you really want to save Ace!" ”

"Of course."

Liu Mengchao smiled and nodded.

"It's a task I have to do."

"Mission?" Luffy straightened the straw hat on his head, but he couldn't help but show a trace of regret on his face. "It doesn't feel free."

Freely?

Hearing Luffy's words, Liu Mengchao did not have a sarcastic smile on his face, but became even more silent. Although it was several years ago to watch One Piece. But Liu Mengchao can still remember the reason why Luffy chose to become the king of the pirates. Thinking of this, Liu Mengchao couldn't help but smile.

I saw Liu Mengchao squinting his eyes slightly, and walked at the forefront of the team with the direction in his memory. And Luffy is the person who follows Liu Mengchao the most.

"Hey!? I said your name is Liu Mengchao, right? Luffy said while following Liu Mengchao's side, "You ......"

Before Luffy could finish his words, he was already interrupted by Liu Mengchao. Liu Mengchao turned his head and stared at Luffy behind him for a long, long time. He let out a long sigh.

"You don't seem to be happy?" Luffy said slowly, such a serious expression really surprised everyone who was familiar with Luffy.

"Do you want me to be your crew?" Liu Mengchao turned his head with a smile and said as he looked at Luffy who was following him. "But I'm afraid I won't be able to get you to do it."

"Oh?"

Luffy was not the slightest surprise when he heard Liu Mengchao's words, and even became even happier. I saw Luffy grinning, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed.

"Hahaha. I knew you were such a person! ”

Luffy said with a smile. But it made everyone who followed Liu Mengchao confused. It wasn't the first day they knew Liu Mengchao, nor did they know the terrifying ability that Liu Mengchao possessed on the first day. Able to read the heart completely, and manipulate his enemies into applause.

And such a man seems to have been seen through by this brainless One Piece?

Just kidding, right?

Liu Ling subconsciously glanced at Levi and Saber, but these two mature people only subconsciously shook their heads, even they didn't seem to believe what they saw in front of them now.

"You know me well?"

Liu Mengchao seemed to stop as Liu Ling wished, and said to Luffy with a smile.

"No, but I know you're not that kind of person!" Luffy said. His eyes stared straight at Liu Mengchao's eyes, those eyes that could manipulate everything. Just this moment. It seems that this One Piece is not being manipulated, and there is a light in his eyes.

"That's the light of dreams." Liu Mengchao looked into Luffy's eyes and said with a smile, "I see a dream in your eyes." ”

"Me too!"

Luffy said without hesitation.

Liu Mengchao didn't refute, just nodded with a smile on the corner of his mouth, agreeing with Luffy's words. There was a dream in his eyes.

Dream!?

Hearing Luffy's words, Liu Ling subconsciously stopped his steps. After all, Liu Mengchao seems to be an extremely realistic person who can use everyone to the extreme...... Such a person...... He also has a dream!?

Can't figure it out. It's just that although he couldn't figure it out, Liu Ling still attached his gaze to Liu Mengchao's body. She vaguely felt that Liu Mengchao seemed to be very compatible with Luffy.

"You want to be the king of the pirates." Liu Mengchao said with a smile as he walked in front of Luffy, "But what you want most is freedom." ”

"Only the freest can become the king of the pirates!"

Luffy said without hesitation, as if he was talking about the most legitimate truth in the world, the truth in his heart. Since the truth is right, then Luffy is naturally right.

"But for me, freedom is not a necessity." Liu Mengchao seemed to remember something, suddenly stopped his steps, looked at Luffy with a surprised look on his face and smiled and said, "For me, as long as I can be with the person I like forever, then it is enough." That's my dream. ”

Freedom is not a necessity, as long as you are with the person you like forever is enough? Luffy scratched his head, he didn't quite know what Liu Mengchao meantly meant.

"I really want to be with my friends, but I also want to be free to be the king of the pirates." Luffy said, staring at Liu Mengchao with blazing eyes.

For a moment, it seemed that the two people, who had just been extremely harmonious, had now reached an impasse. Liu Ling only felt that his palms were subconsciously wet, and they were covered with sweat. She couldn't help but secretly think to herself, could it be that Liu Mengchao and Luffy would fight here? Is Liu Mengchao deliberately provoking Luffy's emotions? But none of this is in line with their plans!

Liu Ling only felt that her throat was drying up instantly, and she desperately wanted to drink some water. Relieve your current tension. It's just that before Liu Ling could calm down his breathing, Liu Mengchao's voice sounded again.

"What if you had to choose one of the two?"

Liu Mengchao stopped his steps. Asked with interest.

"I want it all!"

Luffy replied even more resolutely. He was unwilling to abandon his companions and lose his favorite freedom. It's too rough and unscrupulous, like a child who hasn't grown up yet. Just hearing Luffy's answer, Liu Mengchao smiled, and then nodded slightly.

"But the person who gave you the choice is very strong, and you will probably only be able to make one choice."

"Smack!"

With a soft sound, Luffy pressed the straw hat he was wearing on his head tightly. The straw hat pressed Luffy's hair down. But those resolute eyes were exposed.

"I'll shoot him away!"

You've been told that you can only go to the left, or to the right. Between left and right. You have to choose one or the other and then lose one of them. And Luffy has a very clear answer to such a question.

He wanted both, and he didn't want to lose both. So he chose to carve a path in the middle of the road. Straight ahead.

After Luffy answered. Liu Mengchao was silent for a long time before finally said with a little emotion, "This is your responsibility as the captain. ”

"That's right!"

Luffy's eyes seemed to shoot flames, it was a flame for dreams and companions, and in order to protect what he cherished, Luffy did not waver.

The expression on Liu Mengchao's face was very strange, not satisfied, nor mocking. He just watched quietly. After staring at Luffy for a long time, he finally let out a long sigh.

"What would you do? Liu Mengchao?! ”

Luffy's beast-like instincts. Instantly broke into Liu Mengchao's eyes, it seemed to be a riposte to Liu Mengchao's previous question, and it seemed to be just Luffy's amazing intuition.

"Choice?"

Liu Mengchao turned around and looked into Luffy's eyes.

"What would you choose between being with someone you like and being free?" Luffy asked without hesitation, his eyes becoming more determined. This kind of look Liu Mengchao is not familiar, but it is not unfamiliar.

This is the gaze of the beast when it is looking for its kind.

Seeing this gaze, Liu Mengchao couldn't help but smile. He restarted his steps and walked forward. Luffy looked at Liu Mengchao, who had no intention of answering, and without the slightest pause, he chased directly to Liu Mengchao's side, staring at his eyes, waiting for Liu Mengchao's answer.

Freedom, with the people you like.

Between the two, which one will you choose?

Of the two, one must be chosen and the other must be abandoned.

"I said it a long time ago."

Feeling Luffy following him closely, the corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth curled even more.

"Being with the person I like is my bottom line, there is nothing to give up before the bottom line, and ...... after the bottom line" Liu Mengchao said, his eyes instantly became sharp, "There is nothing to give." ”

As the words fell, Liu Mengchao glanced back at Luffy again, and suddenly burst out laughing. He originally admired Luffy's desperate energy for his dreams, but when he just answered Luffy's question, Liu Mengchao suddenly found out......

"So you're the same person as me!"

Luffy didn't disappoint Ryu Mengchao, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed.

Yes, the same people.

After the bottom line, there is nothing to give.

Liu Mengchao squinted his eyes and nodded slowly.

At this time, the yellow sand in the distance had just been blown up, bringing a little drop of blood. (To be continued......)
