One Piece's Vice Captain 2

Chapter 163

The capital of flowers is close to the area of ​​Linghou.

Kidd, who escaped from the prisoner's quarry in Rabbit Don, came here. After simply covering his flamboyant red hair and most of his face with a cloak, he began to inquire about the whereabouts of his friends in the capital of flowers. .

But now there are only two things being discussed in the Capital of Flowers - the death of the oiran and the change of Empress Ling, and there is no news of any other intruders.Kidd didn't care about the first news, anyway, it was just a dead woman.As for the latter news, it caught his attention.It's not unusual to go from hot summer to snow-covered winter in the blink of an eye.And the more unusual the place, the more intelligence is worth exploring.

After pulling down his cloak to cover his face, he quietly left Flower Capital to go to Empress Ling.Now that the connecting bridge has been bombed, Queen Ling has become an isolated island, but this is a bit intriguing.

And almost at the same time, the killer sent by the big snake to hunt down Xiaohuzi finally got the news about the little guy, and at this moment, he was grinning grinningly and rushing towards Queen Ling with two sharp sickles.

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

Queen Ling.

Brook took Xiaohuzi to find an old wooden house and hid it again. Brook originally wanted to go to the place where he stored food, but he was worried that Xiaohuzi would stay here alone.Moreover, the weather here is getting colder and colder, and the child who is only wearing a thin kimono and a ragged blanket is already shivering from the cold.The child whose lips were blue from the cold was so sensible that it made people feel distressed, but he laughed from time to time and didn't say anything.

A fire was lit in the hut, and the leaking hole was blocked.Brook, who was surveying the situation outside through a small gap, took the time to look at the children who were warming quietly by the fire, and decided to contact his partners and find a hiding place elsewhere.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't eat with his old bones, he can't let a child starve along with him.

"Huh? That's it?" Suddenly, Brook seemed to see something. After trying to see clearly, he excitedly said to Xiaohuzi who was warming up, "Xiaohuzi, I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back in a while."

"Okay, hahaha." Xiaohuzi just nodded with a smile, but he saw him put out the fire that had finally started, and carried her to the corner to cover her with a few large wooden boards.

"Hiding quietly or something, or there will be monsters coming~" After scaring the child pretending to be scary, Brook covered the last piece of wood and left here softly.

Xiaohuzi blinked, covered his mouth obediently but couldn't help but let out a little laughter.

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

Under the quiet sky with snow constantly falling, a slender figure was walking on the snowy ground. Judging from the direction in which he was walking, it was not the place where Brook and the others were hiding.

"Mr. Noah!"

The sound of a certain bone sounded, and then the strangely dressed old bone rushed over.

"?" The person passing by here was Noah who was supposed to be at Jiuli Taoyuan Farm. At this moment, he stopped in doubt and looked at Brook who was running over, "Master Brook?"

"It really is you, I thought I was wrong~" Brooke slowed down and approached him, and when he found that he was alone, he couldn't help but asked in confusion, "Why is it only you? ? Are you all right?"

"Yes, it has recovered." Noah nodded, and continued before Brook asked him the reason, "Master Tiger Shark came here to do something, but I can't find him after Linghou's weather changed."

"So that's the way it is, no wonder the weather suddenly changed." Just hearing the shark's name, Brooke also understood that the mutation here must be related to him.After he breathed a sigh of relief, he said why he came, "How long will Mr. Noah stay here? Because all the connecting bridges leading to Linghou have been bombed now, I want to ask you to do me a favor, help us After leaving Ling."

"Okay. I'll just come back and find Lord Tiger Shark later." Noah just nodded and didn't have any comments.

"That's great." Brooke breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Empress Ling was a good place to hide, but the little household probably wouldn't be able to stay in such a freezing place for a long time.

………………

The little household covered her mouth in the dark and kept quiet. She thought that Brook would go out for a long time, but soon the wooden boards in front of her were removed. In the suddenly bright light, except for the white bone , and a somewhat familiar person.

Xiaohuzi blinked, and quickly recognized the person Brook brought back, and shouted happily, "Ah! It's the handsome brother who sells toad oil with the long-nosed merchant!"

Noah nodded quietly, and he also recognized that the little girl in front of him was the one who made Orochi furious at the banquet before, and at this time Orochi sent decent killers to hunt her down everywhere.

"Toad oil?", Brook was a little confused, he thought it was Usopp who sold the goods by himself.

"Yes, it's super miraculous toad oil! And the nose of the toad oil merchant is super long, and the handsome brother is really beautiful~" Xiaohuzi carefully took out a box of toad oil, and said with bright eyes , "I saw it on the other side at that time, and then stole...ah no, I bought a box! I heard that this oil can heal all injuries~"

"Yohohohoho, that's really magical toad oil," Brooke didn't expose the child's awkward lies, he just stroked her head and then looked at Noah who was standing aside, "Just help us get out of Linghou That's fine, we'll find another hiding place later."

"It's okay, I'll leave after confirming your safety, or my sister will be worried." Noah didn't have any tasks right now, and when he saw Xiaohuzi shivering from the cold, he untied the black cloak on his body and folded it in half. After a while, he bent down and draped it on the thin child's shoulders.Even though the long cloak was folded in half, it still dragged a little on the ground.

The cloak that was still warm dispelled a lot of chill, and made the shivering child feel a lot warmer all of a sudden.Xiaohuzi carefully reached out and touched the expensive-looking cloak on her body, and the touch from her fingers changed her expression a lot.She often followed the oiran, and saw a lot of expensive items and clothing.Although she didn't quite understand it yet, she was sure that this dress would be worth a lot of money.

"I...I still...", Xiaohuzi was afraid that he would stain other people's clothes, so he hurriedly wanted to return the cloak to Noah.Otherwise, I always feel that she can't pay for this dress even if she sells herself.

"It's okay, you can wear it." Noah just helped her pull up the clothes, straightened up and asked Brooke beside him, "May I leave now? Master Brooke."

"Yes, I'm sorry to trouble you." Brooke nodded, hugged the little boy who was still struggling with the price of the cloak, and couldn't help laughing and joking when he saw the child carefully holding the cloak, "Yo ho ho Don't worry, even if the cloak is broken, it's fine, it's just a piece of clothing."

"Yeah." Noah just nodded, and after making sure they had nothing to bring, he pushed open the door and took the lead to go out, "Many villagers who lived in Linghou before were at the connecting bridge, let's choose a place farther away Then go to the capital of flowers."

"It's really troublesome for you~" Brook had no objection, and pulled the cloak with his hand to cover Xiaohuzi's face.

When they came to the connecting bridge, they saw a dozen or so villagers with patched clothes gathered around a fire at the head of the bridge, as if they were discussing what to do after leaving Ling.Under the whistling wind and snow, the capital of flowers on the opposite bank was also hidden in the vast white snow.

After avoiding the villagers and walking to a corner [-] meters away from them, Noah was just about to take them to the opposite side, but at this moment he heard the faint sound of a bell, and an exasperated shout from far to near Voice.

Noah and the others immediately hid vigilantly behind a rock that had fallen a lot of snow, only to find that there was a petite figure running away in the distance, and the guy chasing after him was very familiar. The green hair color that is still green in the white snow already shows who he is.

Seeing an acquaintance who shouldn't be here, Brook couldn't help standing up in shock, "Hey? Mr. Sauron? Why are you here??"

"Brooke?" Seeing his partner, Sauron was also a little surprised, but the next second he shouted directly, "Brooke! Stop the thief in front! She stole Qiushui!"

"Thief?" Brooke looked at the woman who was about to run, whose face was covered by a black cloth, and found that she was really holding Qiushui, one of Sauron's sabers, and she was carrying a long wooden knife on her back. The box looked as if it contained a knife as well.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Brook still stuffed the little boy he was holding into Noah's arms, ran to the front and performed an out-of-body performance directly to the woman who was about to run over, "I~~~Okay Hate~~~ Aww!!!”

It's a pity that the audience who didn't buy it directly overturned the bones blocking the way to the ground, and by the way used autumn water to smash his afro head, which had increased a lot in height, into a big bag.After she was done, she continued to run towards the abyss in front, soaring into the air and quickly flew to the opposite bank under the astonished eyes of others.

"Hahahaha, it's super powerful, it's flying!", the bewildered Xiaohuzi couldn't help laughing when he saw this miraculous scene.And Noah, who was holding her, watched the woman disappear, then looked at Sauron who rushed over and wanted to say something, "Master Sauron, that..."

"Noah?!" Sauron, who thought he would be lost, saw Noah standing there with bright eyes, rushed over and grabbed his arm, and dragged him into the abyss, "Exactly, take me Follow up!"

"Yes, then hurry up." Noah, who was being pulled away, did not ask the reason, and after making sure that he would not fall down, he directly flew towards the opposite side with moon steps.

"We are flying too?? Hahahaha, it's amazing!!" Xiaohuzi, who was hugged by him, widened his eyes and laughed in disbelief, but he didn't dare to move around, facing the howling cold wind in surprise Looking at the surrounding vistas.

And Bones, who was still lying on the snow, heard the voice in his ears quickly disappear, and then jumped up like a dead body in disbelief, and couldn't help it when he turned his head to look at the few people who had almost turned into a small dot in mid-air Howling, "Mr. Sauron, Mr. Noah!!! I'm still here!!!"
