Mihawk didn't plan to stop at the island......

The next stop he planned was Twin Capes, where the redhead had heard about an old ship doctor from the Roger Pirates.

Mihawk always sits on the seat of the boat and sleeps this time, and his cervical spine seems to be a little sore, so he wants to ask the old ship doctor of One Piece to pinch it and loosen his muscles.

However, when I was sleepy, I found that on the shore of the winter island, there were two old people I hadn't seen for a long time......

"You've been gone for almost ten years......"

The coffin board boat is parked on the shore, with a candle lit at each of the four corners of the hull, and the style of underworld painting to various degrees is quite commensurate with Mihawk's cold and elegant temperament of vampire aristocracy.

Mihawk landed in style and walked over to Robin and '. In front of B, he glanced at the scenery of the Yixue Kingdom from afar, "I didn't expect to live in seclusion on such a winter island." ”

No one responded for a long time......

Mihawk gave Robin a strange look.

"......" Robin looked at him as well.

Mihawk: How does "......" feel a little weird?

『. B' said, "We didn't expect that you were riding in this kind of boat all the way?" It's a little inefficient......

"Is it low?" Mihawk smiled slightly, pulled out the black knife night, and casually slapped horizontally in the direction of the sea behind him, and the amazing power poured out, booming, and suddenly set off a huge wave tens of meters high on the sea surface...... Boom, boom, layer upon layer of waves, crashing against the shore, lifting the small coffin board boat that Hawkeye parked on the shore was a little bumpy. He retracted the black knife on his back, crossed his arms in a chic manner and said, "Such a knife is enough to push back and sail far......"

"You're really rowing with a knife......" The pitch-black armor muttered to himself.

Mihawk: "......"

I'm showing the power and efficiency of my random slash, how can I use a knife to row a boat in your eyes?

Can this also be described as an understatement of "crossing"?

The world's No. 1 swordsman's bearing is still very stable, Mihawk smiled indifferently, looking at the still undulating sea in the distance, "I heard Shanks talk about an interesting young man he met in the East China Sea a long time ago...... Calculate the time, that one is called Monchi. D. Luffy's, if it's really like what Shanks said, it's almost time to go to sea. ”

『. B' was speechless, "The world's No. 1 swordsman traveled all the way to climb the Upside Down Mountain or the Red Clay Continent, just to meet a fledgling pirate?"

Mihawk said calmly: "I'm very idle anyway......"

That's true. 『. B Agreed.

The lone ranger Mihawk is a real person who feeds the whole family and does not go hungry, especially since he is also a Seven Martial Sea with legal raiding qualifications...... Fame and strength have long stood in the ranks of the world's top masters, and it is difficult for him to be idle in this condition.

After chatting for a while, Mihawk took one last look. B' and Robin, "Standing here for so long, I haven't felt the breath of other masters on this island......"

"Because there really isn't." 『. B』 said calmly.

"Where's your body, Lynch?" Eagle-like eyes stared at the long, narrow, shimmering eyes on the pitch-black visor.

"That's a long story, do you want to hear it?"

"That's right...... Mihawk waved his hand, "it's too long." Let's go first! ”

The world's No. 1 swordsman jumped lightly, landed on the coffin board boat on the sea below, shook his black trench coat, sat on the only big chair with his legs crossed, and carried the huge black knife like a cross, and swayed away on the sea......

One man and one stand on the shore.

『. B' looked down and asked, "Why don't you talk all the time?"

Robin was slightly stunned, shook his head and said, "At first, I felt a little embarrassed, I didn't know what to say...... after a pause, she added, "Later, when I heard him talk about Tulip's son, I was a little distracted for a while, and before I could say anything, he left......"

That seems to be a bit embarrassing. 『. B' crossed his arms and nodded silently.

Standing on the shore, Robin looked at the gray sky and sea, and didn't know what to think.

After a long time, she turned around and said, "Go back." ”

Phantom black armor walked beside her, stepping into the wind and snow of the island.

～～～～～～～～～～

["Hey! Deer! ”】

[When this island was still called Magnetic Drum Island, Lynch shouted to the snow monsters passing by in the snow forest, beckoning, "Come here."] ”】

[And next to him, Robin tilted his head sideways, with a little doubt and curiosity, and also looked at the blue-nosed snow monster at a loss......]

……

["Wow!"Wow!! Don't eat me!!! - Huh? I'm ...... again. Able to speak? ”】

[The reindeer was scared half to death, but Lynch asked with a smile: "How do you feel after you don't have the fruit of everyone?" ”】

[In the snow, Lynch and Robin walked ahead, and the blue-nosed snow monster followed behind and muttered, "It's like ...... Had an endless nightmare......"]

"Ahh

Chopper exclaimed, looked up and sat up straight, the fur on one cheek wet with saliva and a hoof print.

"Woke up?"

Chopper sat at the lab table, and he smoked his blue nose, which was so fragrant. Looking back, there was a table of food on the table in front of Robin and Master Kureha, and Robin said to it, "It's just right, let's eat together when we wake up." ”

"Oh." The reindeer jumped out of the chair, creazzing, creaking, creaking under his feet, and jumped to the table to eat with Robin and Master.

On the side of the wall, flip the palm of your hand to observe. B' lowered his hand and looked at Chopper's lab table, where pink dust was rising from the flask, and beside it, there were already three bulging cloth bags, tightening the mouth of the bag.

Did the quack doctor Hiluluk leave behind the research bear fruit? 『. B' thought.

……

[Looking at the deer licking the plate excitedly, Robin said: "It says that it is a monster, not what it looks like after eating the fruit of Renren......]

[Lynch holds his chin, "This feature of his blue nose is referencing!] The shadow of childhood is really miserable......"]

While eating, Robin noticed that Chopper was always aiming at himself, and couldn't help but touch his face strangely, "What's wrong?" Do I have dirt on my face? ”

Chopper wanted to speak and stopped, shook his head again and again, quickly finished his meal with a snort, and jumped off the table, "I'm going to continue the experiment!" ”

Jumping back on the chair in front of the experimental table, the little reindeer lifted its feet off the ground, and its two little hooves carefully prepared the materials and poured them into the flask in proportion...... The expression was extremely serious.

～～～～～～～～～～

Inside the Telephone Bug Castle, Robin did not go to the bedroom, but sat in the bright and spacious living room.

There are a lot of old clutter on the coffee table.

Ten years ago in Wanguo, Midori was stunned by Big Mom's overlord color and bounced out many things in the castle, which were later temporarily stored by Lynch behind a corresponding mirror in the mirror world.

Later, '. B』 casually implanted the Mirror Fruit into a passing tiger and made it a Mirror Fruit Ability. The ferocious tiger was obedient as a cat in front of the overlord color of the pitch-black armor, allowing the invisible hand to grasp its tail and drag it into a mirror....... B's entered the mirror world of the mirror through the medium of Tiger Tail, and moved everything out again, and put it back in Midori's phone bug castle for safekeeping.

The main thing is the pile of souvenirs, couple shirts and the like that she and Lynch bought when she and Lynch sailed all the way, on the resort island, in the Chambord Islands, etc.

It's old.

It's been a long time, and for the first time, Robin took it out and put it in front of him to look at it carefully.

She reached out and touched the yellowed clothes and souvenirs gently, remembering a year ago and '. B's conversation.

……

["You don't have to follow me like this......" Robin hugged his knees, sat on the shore, and said to himself, "I'm not afraid that I will misunderstand, are you supervising me?" ”】

['If you really misunderstood, you wouldn't have said it so easily.' The pitch-black armor stood beside him with his arms crossed, his long narrow eyes glowing, "But I do have something to fear, but that's the other side ......]

["If you want to cooperate with your ontological cultivation and prepare to accumulate thick and thin, don't always look at me, you should concentrate more ......" Robin buried his head in his knees and said to himself, suddenly reacted, raised his head and asked in a daze, "What aspect?" ”】

['......'" The pitch-black armor said lightly, "I have never been separated from the main body for such a long time. Although we essentially share the same system, when separated, we are indeed two separate CPUs." 】

"I'm afraid of ...... I'll slowly forget, or gradually become disaware, that I'm Lynch.'" 】

"Even if this worst development is just unfounded...... However, after so many years of experience and memory, a stream of brains will be poured into the ontological mind, and if these pictures are full of massive and unfamiliar things...... What will happen to the impact of that kind of thing?' 】

[Robin was even more stunned for a moment, and the narrow eyes of the dark mask looked at her. 】

[So, Sister Robin, I only have you now...... Only by looking at you in this way can I be the "anchor" of my self-knowledge." 】

['I can always remember that I'm still me, or Lynch.' 】

Robin smiles for the first time in a long time. Although this smile is also very faint. She muttered to herself, "Don't let Hancock know about this ......"]

……

Just as he was distracted, on the coffee table with a pile of miscellaneous items in front of Robin, white fluid floated out and condensed into a small green shape.

Knock knock, it turned out that someone was knocking on the door of the phone bug castle outside.

Robin opened the castle portal and looked out, and saw Kureha's "huge" old face.

The latter saw her appear, picked up the wine bottle and took a sip, pointed to the dim night and faint snow outside the window behind him, and grinned: "There are good things, do you want to go and see them together?" ”

Robin was puzzled and jumped out of the phone bug castle.

Follow Kureha out of the treehouse, the white snow looks exceptionally bright in the night and the cold moonlight.

Not far away, Chopper could be vaguely seen running away.

"It's so late, where is he going?" Robin wondered.

Kureha blew on the bottle and smiled, "Wouldn't you know if you went over and took a look?" ”

“……”

Robin and Kureha walked side by side in the night snow, far behind the reindeer galloping away.

She looked back at the night sky above the treehouse.

Seeing and hearing the color, I could feel that the pitch-black armor was sitting in the air as usual, silently practicing the return of life.

The narrow eyes on the visor shimmered, and when he looked up, the reindeer quickly climbed halfway up the mountain, and stepped on the cable without stopping.

From afar, in the light of the moonlight, it resembles the silhouette of a reindeer running headlong towards the palace on the top of a towering mountain......

～～～～～～～～～～

["You can't always 'feed' or 'deer' call you, can you? ”】

[Lynch said jokingly, "There are too many people who can be called 'hey' and 'deer'......"]

[Robin smiled and explained for the dazed fawn: "He said that you should be given a name.] ”】

……

A full moon in the night sky, the black silhouette of a reindeer running on a cable, diagonally upwards as if stepping into the sky.

Da-da, Chopper, in the form of a reindeer, was biting a wooden pole in his mouth, carrying his usual medical bag, and his hooves kept speeding all the way on the cable, his eyes fixed on the royal castle on the top of the hill in front of him.

……

["It's called Pikachu! What do you think? ”】

[Lynch clapped his hands and smiled in satisfaction, "Pikachu. Chopper, that sounds good, right? ”】

["Pikachu...... Chopper ...... Pikachu, Chopper...... Hee Hee ......"]

[The little guy raised his head, his big eyes fluttered, shiny, covering his mouth and smirking.] 】

……

Whoop, whoop......

The reindeer kept panting, and when it came to the palace castle, the wind and snow whistled by, and it let go of the wooden pole it was biting on, and its body shook into a two-meter-tall brown short-haired burly youth.

He touched his ears, which were not the same as those of humans, took a deep breath, and roared at the quiet castle of the palace in the night:

"Anyone?!!! - I'm Chopper!!!!!!!!!!!! ”

……

[Chopper looked at it, and there seemed to be a small hole in the air, and there were two small people sitting on the edge of the hole......]

[Lynch greets, "Hi, Pikachu."] ”】

["Huh?! Chopper jumped up on the chair again, and his antlers and eyes almost flew out. 】

[Lynch is laughing at the entrance of the castle, and Robin tugs his face, "Lynch, don't scare it like this. ”】

……

The palace and castle were suddenly lit up, and many soldiers rushed out, startled by the earth-shattering sound.

King Dalton also hurried out in his pajamas, and the cow panted and looked at the burly young man standing in the open space outside the castle in disbelief, "Doctor Chopper, is there something wrong with this late hour?" ”

"Whoop, whoop......"

Chopper took a deep breath, his body shook, and he changed back into his petite and cute half-human, half-deer form, with tears in his eyes, and he put down the medical bag he was carrying.

[In the snow, Lynch hugged and held a huge snowball about the size of the others, and walked towards the little reindeer, and Chopper was so frightened that he crawled behind Robin......]

[In the bathroom, Lynch and Chopper are soaking in the bathtub with a towel hanging from their necks. Robin opened the door and brought them two cups of hot milk with a smile, and Lynch and Chopper each took a sip of one and showed a satisfied expression in unison......]

"I want to ask you to ......"

The little reindeer shook the medical bag, and more than a dozen tightly tied cloth bags fell out of it, "Please do me a favor......

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, do me a favor, you said it earlier!

It was so shocking in the middle of the night, and it was weird and scary......

Dalton laughed: "It is incumbent! Dr. Chopper has been treating and saving people for so many years, but the medical expenses have never been charged to a minimum...... In fact, everyone has wanted to repay you for a long time. ”

"That's right!" The palace soldiers raised their hands one after another, laughing and responding enthusiastically, "As long as it's Dr. Chopper's request, there's really no way to refuse!" Haha......"

"Brothers, get to work!"

"Oh~~!!"

A group of palace soldiers were bustling with activity, pushing several mobile batteries out of the castle in the night.

Under Chopper's command, they threw the dozen or so cloth bags that Chopper brought into the barrels one by one......

"Dr. Chopper, is this all right?"

The soldiers stood behind the mobile turret, aiming their barrels at the night sky.

"Well, that's fine."

Chopper picked up the pole he had picked up in the snow and walked to the edge of the cliff.

Looking at the back of the little reindeer that had become tall and burly again, Dalton smiled and sighed softly.

～～～～～～～～～～

"What the hell are you going to see?"

Robin followed Kureha through the snowy mountains at night, a little worried, "Chopper will be okay when he comes out so late, right?" ”

"Hee ......"

Kureha suddenly stopped, holding up the bottle and pointing to the sky ahead.

Robin looked up, naturally knowing that it was the peak of the Yixue Kingdom, and it was also the peak of the palace castle of the former Magnetic Drum Kingdom.

Suddenly, on the edge of the cliff at the top of the peak, she saw a black flag shaking, which looked a little blurry in the night, and the skull pattern on the black flag was also drawn crookedly, and the brushstrokes were immature......

Crudely hand-painted pirate flags flutter in the night.

It's Chopper......

Robin saw the burly figure waving the pirate flag vigorously on the edge of the cliff of the peak.

Bang bang

A large line of firelight suddenly lit up behind Chopper, who was waving the pirate flag, followed by a dense burst of cannon fire, and one after another the firelight rushed into the sky with a screaming sound, rushing into the high night, and exploded one after another.

……

[The little reindeer tilted his face and asked weakly, "Are you leaving?" ”】

["Don't try to pretend to be pitiful, and honestly follow the old woman to learn medical skills......" Lynch pressed Chopper's head and continued, "If we come back in the future, we will not let you get on our ship if we find that you are not up to the mark." ”】

[Under the rough big hands, the fawn buried his head, biting his lip, and the big hot tears fell down, and finally nodded heavily. 】

["Hmm! ”】

……

"It's ......"

The light in the night sky was reflected on Robin's looking up face, and her eyes slowly widened, as if she had seen some miraculous and magnificent view, which was very shocking.

"Hehe, that's a nice thing," Kureha crossed her hips, picked up her bottle, pushed up her glasses, and smiled, "I didn't lie to you, did I?" ”

"Hmmm......"

Robin looked up in a daze, and in the great shock, he was a little speechless.

In the night sky, a cloud of pink smoke exploded, and those pink dust attached to the snowflakes, instantly forming a fairy tale-like dreamy pink snow scene......

"Oh, oh, ......"

The burly figure desperately shaking the pirate flag let out a strange, distinctive, but childish cry that resounded through the mountaintops, cliffs, and the pink snow that bloomed like huge cherry blossom trees, and between the snow-capped mountains......

"Robin——!!!

The burly figure who was crying shouted to the people at the foot of the mountain in a boyish voice, "Didn't we say yes? Wait for me ......"

“……”

Robin looked up at the pink "cherry blossom tree" in the night sky.

……

[Chopper blinks and asks, "Giorno, what is a pirate?" ”】

……

"Wait until I become a ......," Chopper choked up, waving the pirate flag vigorously, "to become a qualified doctor...... Just ......"

……

""What about this...... Lynch touched his chin, "I always find it difficult to answer."] ”】

……

Looking at the child who was desperately waving the crooked pirate flag under the "cherry blossom tree", crying loudly and venting his grievances, Robin's eyes also filled with tears.

……

"This is the Pirate Flag. Lynch pointed to the JOJO skull pattern and said with a smile, "The person who will be summoned by this thing is a pirate!" ”】

["Oh oh......" Chopper stared at the flag, his big eyes shining, "I see, it's ......"]

[Robin chuckled, "Didn't you deny yourself to be a pirate?] ”】

[Lynch turned his head and pinched her face casually, "Don't spoil the atmosphere at this time......]

……

"You're going to take me with you......"

Chopper cried unhumanly, tears flowed down his eyes, his hand shaking the pirate flag was almost trembling, and his crying cry echoed through the valley, "—didn't you say that you would be pirate buddies together?!!!! ”

"Oh, ......"

Listening to the hoarse cry of blood in his ears, Robin's tears finally fell down his cheeks, and his lips kept trembling slightly.

Kureha reached for her and patted her back, smoothing her equally trembling back, but said nothing.

"Kureha ......"

"It's okay, it's okay......" With tears in her eyes, Kureha took Robin into her arms and gently stroked her long hair, "Poor child......"

……

"I don't know what happened, but I'm just very touched......"

In front of the castle, looking up at the miraculously magnificent pink snow, the palace soldiers couldn't help but shed tears and looked at each other.

Dalton wiped the corners of his eyes and sniffed, "Hmm." ”

～～～～～～～～～～

In the distance, a huge pink "cherry blossom tree" illuminates almost half of the night sky......

Far away, high in the sky above the treehouse, the wind and snow were blowing.

Suddenly, in the air that seemed to be empty, a steel armor-like palm covered with blue flame patterns condensed out of thin air.

Disheveled!

『. B's left hand shook hard, as if it had truly broken through some kind of shackle or barrier, and its left hand suddenly condensed from the original ghostly state of nothingness into a solid one, like a real armor palm......

A pair of narrow eyes lifted up with a glimmer of light. B shook his left hand, and the palm covered with blue flame lines changed more than a dozen times from virtual to solid and from real to virtual more than a dozen times......

It quietly admires the "miraculous view" left behind by Nashiruluk.
