One Piece: Fists of the Quartet

Chapter 76 Rat
In the forest surrounded by Skagen, a man and a beast are staring at each other.

It was an ugly mouse.

……

To say it's ugly might be a bit of an exaggeration.

It was a gray and dirty mouse, only a little bigger.

Feeling it again with some doubts, the throbbing of the mouse in front of him is still there.

"You... what are you?"

Zhang Youli casually picked up a branch beside him, and poked the little guy in front of him twice.

The little mouse pushed away the branch that Zhang Lili stretched out in dissatisfaction.

"Haw!"

"Haw! Haw!"

……

Haw haw haw?
"Well... Can you understand me? Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't understand."

Zhang Youli rubbed his chin, staring closely at the little beast in front of him.

"I'm thinking about how to eat you..."

According to Zhang Youli's usual custom, what attracts him must be edible.

Zhang Youli had never eaten rats, so he didn't know where to start.

"Chirp!!?"

Unexpectedly, when the little mouse on the opposite side heard this, a humanized look of panic appeared on its face, and its body tensed up, and it slowly backed away.

"Hmm...? Do you understand?"

Seeing the behavior of the little mouse, Zhang Youli was taken aback for a moment, and then asked tentatively.

"Chirp chirp chirp!!"

Zhang Youli felt that something was wrong with the mouse's quick and miserable cry.

He looked at the little mouse in shock.

"You, you understand human nature!?... It's hard to deal with it!"

"If you understand human nature...you can't eat indiscriminately."

After saying this, Zhang Youli scratched his head in pain.

"Wait, wait, let me think about it, why should I find a reason to eat you..."

Hearing this, the little mouse slipped even faster.

"Don't run away, I won't eat, I will hurt you!"

----

whoosh-

A gust of wind blew up, and the branches and leaves of the big trees were whistling.

boom! !

A large pit suddenly opened in the ground.

Immediately afterwards, there was an exasperated roar.

"Damn it, don't run away, don't run away, face me, plant it!"

The space in the fence is not very large, probably equivalent to an abandoned terminal.

But in this limited space, Zhang Youli ran here for three or four hours.

"call……"

The invisible phantom finally stopped. Due to the inertia generated by the high-speed movement, the figure directly smashed five or six big trees, and caused a commotion in the forest, startling a group of birds.

"Fuck you..."

Zhang Youli hadn't felt this kind of anger for a long time.

If it's just that you can't catch it, you won't be so angry.

The problem is, this mouse, it, it.

It's so irritating! ! !

"Squeak."

It seemed that seeing Zhang Youli stopped chasing, the mouse walking in front turned back, tilted its head, and looked at Zhang Youli suspiciously.

This seemed to be a normal suspicious action, but there was a sly light in the mouse's eyes.

Zhang Youli, who couldn't catch his breath, chased after the mouse again.

----

As night fell, the stars twinkled in the sky.

"Are you sure you heard someone talking?"

Outside the fence, the leader of a team of guards asked the shabby old man seriously.

"Hmph, the old man has been guarding here for two years, will he still lie to you?"

The old man snorted coldly, dissatisfaction appeared on his skinny face.

The leader of the guard army also sneered.

"Better so."

After finishing speaking, he walked forward quickly, but stopped in front of the tall wooden door.

Seeing the hesitant figure of the guards, the old man gave him a disdainful look.

"There are still two days until it goes crazy, what are you afraid of?"

"cut."

crunch--

The wooden door was slowly pushed open.

A head poked in stealthily.

After observing for a while, he whispered back.

"Captain, no abnormalities were found."

"Retreat if there is no abnormality."

The captain's hasty tone seemed to contain a man-eating monster.

The team member resisted curiosity and turned his head.

For ordinary guards like them, they don't know what's inside the fence that was suddenly ordered by the king three years ago.

I just know that on certain days every year, there will be roars and roars from inside.

It's not the first time he's come to see it, but every time there's nothing to gain.

When the door was about to close, he couldn't help but glance inside again.

whoosh-

The strong wind was blowing, making it hard for him to keep his eyes open.

In a blur, he seemed to see a big black mouse running past.

boom!
The door closed with a muffled sound.

"Let's go, bastard! Why are you in a daze, drink beer tonight, and go to sleep with your wife after drinking!"

"Are you sleeping with his wife or is he sleeping with yours?"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

A burst of laughter broke out in the guard army.

Erdan came back to his senses, helped the hat on his head, also cursed with a smile, and then followed.

The captain said that if there is no abnormality, he will retreat, so let's retreat...

The big trees inside the fence rustled in the wind.

The old man outside the door squinted his eyes, looking thoughtfully at the big tree inside.

"Today's wind is a bit strong."

In the north of the city, in a rental house.

Anglesy sat in front of the window, holding a piece of slightly yellowed paper tightly in his hand.

"Anglesy, sleep."

Old Wang's voice sounded from the inner room, and Angesy looked back blankly.

"What's wrong? You are... very wrong today?"

Lao Wang carefully moved a stool and sat beside him.

Angsey's lips moved, but in the end he said nothing.

"I know, you really want to come up with a better formula, but, this thing, you can't be forced to know?"

"Think about it, how long did it take you from the beginning to make it like this, and how long has it been since you met Mr.?"

Old Wang sat next to Angesy, talking endlessly about the truth.

Maybe he was annoyed by the old king, or perhaps Angsey was persuaded, so he pursed his dry lips.

"I see... Uncle."

Lao Wang closed his mouth regretfully, he hadn't imparted his experience to others for a long time.

"Then I, go to bed first, and you will go to bed earlier later."

After giving some instructions, Pharaoh also entered the room.

With the sound of closing the door, the whole living room fell into silence again.

Anglesey stood up, walked to the table, and stared at a blank sheet of paper.

It is densely written with some medicinal materials and cherished food.

Anglesey sighed suddenly.

Could it be that I can only rely on some medicinal materials to improve the quality?

A little confused, he turned around and turned off the light, sat by the window again, and stared at the bright moon outside.

The same land where the moon shines.

"Don't get caught by me."

Zhang Youli looked at the little mouse on the tree fiercely.

Its green eyes are particularly conspicuous in the middle of the night.

"Squeak?"

It seems to be mocking, it seems to be playing, the mouse made a cheerful sound again.
