One Piece: Rise of an Empire

………………

"Another Strange Ceiling"

Des slowly opened his eyes, looked around, and sat up. At this time, he was wrapped in bandages.

Des pulled off the bandage as soon as he tried hard, because he already felt that the injury on his body was healed.

At this time, Des looked around again. This was a strange room. At this time, Des saw Ariel lying on another bed covered in bandages. After approaching, he felt her breath and found that she was fine. Des also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Grumbling~"

Des felt a little hungry in his stomach.

Des walked out of the room slowly.

Dess turned on the knowledge color, and Dess's knowledge color directly covered a large area.

Des felt that it was an ordinary village at this time, and there were no strong people.

At this time an old lady came over.

"Boy, are you awake? Are your injuries healed?"

The old lady looked at Des in surprise. When Des was brought back, the wound on Des's body was very serious. Unexpectedly, it took only two days for Des to have no wounds.

"Grandma, you saved us?" Des asked.

"Yeah, you fell into my orchard. At that time, both of you had wounds on your body. The little girl was better, but you were covered in blood. I saw that you were still alive, so I rescued you. I asked our doctor to bandage you. I didn't expect your wounds to heal within two days."

"Thank you, grandma," Des said, thanking those who helped them from the bottom of his heart, which made Des feel the beauty of this world.

At this moment, Des's stomach growled again.

"Hehe, I haven't eaten for two days. I'm hungry. I'll make you something to eat after a while."

"That troubles you"

Des thanked the grandma again, and the grandma began to cook for Des after replying to Des.

Des wanted to help, but was rejected by the grandmother.

Des had no choice but to go back to the room and look at Ariel. Des wasn't a doctor. He didn't know why she was still awake. Des touched Ariel's cheek, sighed, and stayed here guarding Ariel until the grandmother called Des to eat. Des didn't go out.

What the grandma eats is not big fish and meat, but some vegetables and steamed buns.

Steamed bun?

Des looked at the thing in front of him, and it was indeed a steamed bun.

Des hasn't eaten this thing for a long time.

"Hurry up and eat," the old woman said with a smile.

Des was also polite, and started to eat big mouthfuls. The grandmother was frightened by Des's appetite, and Des ate her meals for a week in one meal.

Des patted his stomach, he was [-]% full, and it was okay.

Seeing the surprised expression of the old lady, Des felt a little embarrassed, after all, he ate so much food from others.

"Grandma, what is this place?" Des diverted the grandmother's attention.

At this time, the old lady recovered from her surprise and said, "This is the edge of Tianyuan Kingdom."

"Tianyuan Kingdom?"

"Well, I've never traveled far. I only know that the edge of this place is the sea. There are too many monsters on the sea, so ordinary people dare not approach it. My grandson told me once when he came back last year."

monster?

Des thinks that the monsters that the old lady mentioned should be sea kings, but Des feels that there is no wind here, and this place should be a windless belt.

"By the way, the doctor has seen Ariel's situation? What did you say?"

"The doctor said that he passed out after receiving a collision, and there is no major problem."

Hearing what the old lady said, Des was completely relieved.

Afterwards, Des learned through the grandmother that there are five towns in Tianyuan Kingdom, the head of which is Tianyuan City, which is also the center of the country and the place where the royal family is located.

And here is near Heavenly Sword City.

And his grandson has now joined the imperial army, and it has been a long time since he came back.

This island is very big.

The grandmother has only been to Tianjian City the farthest, but she doesn't know much about the situation there.

At this time, Des picked up the vegetable soup made by the old grandma and walked to Ariel. Des slowly picked up Ariel and sent the soup to Ariel's mouth.

"Young man, are you from overseas?" the old woman asked.

"Yes, I was wandering in the sea, I met a monster, and somehow I ended up here."

"Then who is this girl?"

"This is my wife."

Upon hearing this, the old lady closed the door for Des.

Des took good care of Ariel.

.....................

Day two.

The sun hadn't risen yet, and Dess opened his eyes when he sensed movement from Ariel.

"Are you awake? Is there any discomfort?" Des asked.

Ariel shook her head. There was no obvious wound on Ariel's body. Dess thought it was the impact of falling from a high altitude that made her faint.After all, she doesn't have the physical fitness of Des.

"It's okay, it's just a headache," Ariel said.

"That's fine, you're fine"

"Des, where is this place?"

Hearing Ariel's question, Des and Ariel talked about what he knew.

Des went to the beach to see it. The sea here is boundless. Des can feel that there seems to be a very strong magnetic field around, which completely isolates this place from other places.

The record pointer is also completely irregular, which shows that it is not easy to get out of here.

And there are no birds in the sky here.

After Des and Ariel finished talking about the situation here, Ariel showed no other expressions.

"At least we're still alive, aren't we?" Ariel laughed.

"Yeah, still alive"

Des looked at the optimistic Ariel, and the urge to become stronger grew stronger in his heart.

Before I knew it, the sky had completely lit up.

At this time, Des took Ariel out of the room.

After walking out, Des saw the old lady who was tidying up.

"Grandma, thank you for saving us," Ariel said.

"Girl, you're awake too, it's okay, as long as you're okay," the old grandma said.

Seeing that the old granny didn't have much food here, Des simply walked to the old granny's vegetable garden.

The ability of the devil fruit activates.

The old grandma's vegetables are all cooked in a short time.

"This…"

The old lady looked at Des with a look of surprise.

"Is this witchcraft?" At this time, the old woman was a little scared.

"Grandma, you misunderstood. This is my husband's ability to make plants grow quickly. We are all human. We have eaten so many things from you. This is in return for you."

Hearing Ariel's words, although the old lady was afraid, she still thought she was just an old lady, and the other party had nothing to do with her, even if it was a goblin, she had heard the story of a goblin repaying her favor before.

At this time, Des helped the old lady put away the vegetables, and then sprinkled the seeds of the vegetables.

"Thank you, young man," said the old woman.

"You saved us, this is what we should do"

In fact, the old lady is also very pitiful. His son and daughter-in-law died at the hands of Neptune, so he joined the army because of his only one.

This caused her to live alone in this village, but the people in the village were very nice.

She is self-sufficient and cannot go hungry.

But the longing for his grandson is very real.

Afterwards, Des decided to take Ariel for a stroll around the country, and he also accepted the commission of the old lady. If he went to Tianyuan City, he would go to the army to see his grandson. His grandson's name is Ye Fan.

Ye Tiandi?
