Chapter 70: The best of both worlds
"Gollum!"
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Vivian quickly stretched out his hands and covered his eyes.
Then..
Continue to stare at the picture with your consciousness in your mind.
Nosebleeds run slowly down the nostrils.
His face became hot for a while.
However, just when Nami was about to turn around, she was heard shouting outside the bathroom, "Robin, why are you making a fuss outside, is Luffy looking for his hat?" ”
"Hmm!" Robin's voice came in from outside the bathroom.
"His hat seems to have fallen in the bathroom, you can come in and help him take it out." Nami couldn't help but shake her head, "Really, is this straw hat so expensive that you have to bring it in when you take a shower." ”
After the words fell, Robin pushed open the door and walked in, taking out the straw hat that Luffy had accidentally left on the bathroom sink.
The scene then shifts to the lobby of the Sunshine.
Vivian: "......"
Damn it!
Almost..
Just a little bit..
I'll be able to.
Forget it, what you shouldn't see, if you really look at it, it will be harmonized.
"Luffy, there's the Devil's Triangle ahead." Usopp rushed into the picture with a chart.
And Vivian, who heard this, immediately thought of the plot in the original book.
"Is it next to Moonlight Moria?"
After playing Moonlight Moria, it seems that he also went to fight a wave of golden lions halfway, and then arrived at the Chambord Islands.
Then there is the supernova eleven link, Luffy angrily beats the dragon people, attracts the general Yellow Ape, is shot by the bear and flies to Daughter Island, and then comes to the city to rescue Ace...
"With so many links, you actually told me that it could be completed in a month?"
You know, this has been played in hundreds of episodes in anime.
After looking at the field of vision provided by the reconnaissance guard for a while, he found that from Luffy's point of view, he was either eating or sleeping, and he was really bored to the extreme.
Another day passed.
Vivian carried the lunch box to the sixth basement floor again, and as soon as he pushed the door and entered Ace's cell, he saw that this guy had changed from the state of being beaten up yesterday, and became a vigorous tiger.
"You seem to be recovering pretty quickly." Vivian Road.
Ace ignored Vivian when he heard this, and began to do pull-ups with the help of the chains hanging in the sky.
No way, the days in prison are really boring enough, although Ace is already very clear that his final outcome may be only a dead end, but at least he is alive now, isn't he?
"I made today's rice, fried pho, I think you've never eaten it before, right?"
Vivian said, pulling out two plates of pho from the box and placing them in front of Ace.
Ace glanced at the food he had never seen before, and hesitated for about five or six seconds, but under the attack of the wafting fragrance, he still lowered his head and tasted it.
And then..
He just started the excavator mode, opened his mouth wide, buried his whole face in the pho, and gnawed wildly.
I have to say that Vivian's cooking skills are indeed quite addictive.
Especially for foodies like Luffy and Ace.
"Do you know what you're going to face in a month?" Finding a random place to sit down, Vivian asked, smoking a cigarette.
Silent.
Hearing this, Ace swallowed all the pho wrapped in his mouth, and after a while, he said, "Isn't it just being executed?" You thought I was going to be scared? ”
"I don't know if you're scared or not, but have you ever thought about how many people who love you will risk their lives to save you when you are publicly executed?"
Luffy, Whitebeard, and the captains of the pirates...
"How many people will lose their lives on the way to your rescue?"
Vivian said, lighting the cigarette in his mouth and exhaling a puff of smoke.
Ace, on the other hand, clenched his hands harder and harder, and his nails, which he couldn't cut off because he had been imprisoned for too long, sank deep into the flesh of his palms.
Vivian's purpose in saying this was simple.
He didn't want to see the start of the war on top, but if he wanted to let Ace go, it would be unlikely.
So when he got up this morning, he thought of the easiest way to do it, and that was... Persuade Ace to commit suicide.
At first glance, it sounds outrageous, but if Ace really thinks about his brother and the Whitebeard Pirates, maybe he might do something like this.
And once Ace dies in the city, most of the punishment he will receive at that time will only be Magellan, who is the prison warden.
Then the war is over, Whitebeard doesn't have to die, the navy side will not suffer casualties, and he doesn't have to worry about being temporarily called up to the battlefield by his headquarters.
What the best of both worlds.
"So, if it were to be me, I wouldn't cause trouble for my loved ones." Vivian then hinted.
When the words fell, seeing that Ace fell into thought again, Vivian didn't try any more, turned around and carried the empty lunch box again, and left gracefully.
Of course, when passing by the door of Hiryu's cell, he also threw a grilled fish that had expired for several days into it as a way to humiliate him.
No way, who told him to look down on this character when he read the original book?
Besides, anyway, with a vine tiger cover, can he still be afraid of a little rain of Xiliu?
Whistling, he got some ingredients and tools for brewing from the kitchen on the fourth floor, and Vivian immediately returned to the dormitory and began to tinker with his first brewing project.
Life is starting to be more fulfilling again.
It wasn't until a week later that Karp suddenly took a warship and quietly came to the city alone to visit his grandson, and when he passed by the first floor of the sea, he casually punched Vivian in the chest.
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Karp scratched the back of his head with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, this is the second time I've injured you." ”
The first time naturally refers to the time when I encountered the Draco ships in the windless zone.
As for whether Sengoku told him or whether he guessed it himself, it is unknown.
And then, Karp, who turned around with his hands behind his back, then said: "This is me who fought for my grandson, as for the reason, you know yourself." ”
After all, this is the elevator to the sixth basement floor.
Leaving Vivian standing in place, he stopped the Fuji Tiger who wanted to make a move, wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth, and showed a wry smile.
"It turns out that the pit dug by the follow-up mission is waiting for me here."
Feeling that there seemed to be another bone in his body broken, Vivian only said that he estimated that he would have to lie down for about half a month this time to recover completely.
