"Cousin, please, I will definitely pay back the money in the future. I have already passed the Japanese certificate. I will work hard."

"If you don't borrow it, you can go now. Don't bother me here. And remember, what you said before, don't forget to pay me back the money I borrowed from you when you were in college."

The cousin pointed to Hood and said.

Hood looked at his cousin, feeling a little unwilling, and clenched his fists while gritting his teeth.

He ran to his uncle again.

"What are you doing!"

With a plop, Hood knelt down in front of his uncle.

"I kneel to you, please help me, I want to realize my dream."

The cousin looked at Hood's appearance, but instead laughed out loud, with a bit of sarcasm in his voice.

"Hood, Hood. You really made me laugh." Immediately after that, my uncle's smiling face stopped, and he picked up Hood angrily and shouted, "You're a man in your 20s. face, ran to me and knelt down and begged me to lend you money. Are you still a man!

"Tell me that you want to fulfill your dream, so beg me to lend you money? Are you out of your mind? Why should I lend you money? What is a dream? It's something you have to work hard to accomplish. Then It's called a dream!

"I'll lend you money now, and you'll be able to go to Japan soon, but so what! You won't cherish things you get for nothing!
"Do you think I'll change my opinion of you after you pass the test?
"Let me tell you, I can see through you. You are a 3-minute hot, impatient lazy person. The moment you kneel down, I know you are hopeless.

"You would rather give up your dignity than work hard for your dreams and ask me to borrow money. Hehe, really. Hurry up and don't come to me in the future. I don't even want to see a person like you, and you Don't pay me back.

"People like you pay back the money, I'm afraid it's where you got it from crime!"

The cousin glanced at Hood, turned around and left without looking back.

Only Hood was left standing there with red eyes, tears, and clenched fists.

……

Dreams and dignity are shattered together.

What is the meaning of life?

Hood once again became the same muddy state as before.

Of course, in order to survive, Hood will still go to work.

Go to the construction site to move bricks and repeat mechanical movements.Don't use your brain, it's the best job for Hood's current state.

And earn relatively more.

It's just that Hood won't learn Japanese anymore, and spends every day like a walking dead.

until one day.

"Have you heard that the latest theatrical version of One Piece is going to be screened in China!"

"Is that the fanatical action?"

"Yes. When the time comes, we will go see together?"

"Okay!"

Looking at the students discussing on the street, Hood remembered that he had been chasing One Piece for a while.

But since I wanted to study in Japan, my mind was full of how to make money.

Not only One Piece, but also Japanese animations are rarely watched.

Although Hood was no longer interested in him at this time, on the day of the release, he passed by the cinema and went in to watch it.

Watching Luffy and their adventures, Hood felt a fire in his heart.

It prompted him to go home and review One Piece again.

In this review, Hood saw when Blackbeard first appeared.

The phrase "man's dream will never end!"

Hood thought of his grandmother's words before she died, "Don't give up your dreams."

Hood cried.

……

Hood started studying again.

After that, Hood's life changed. He studied, moved bricks, and watched One Piece. These days were repeated every day.

It's monotonous, but fulfilling and joyful.

Hood began to learn the character of the characters in One Piece, pure and happy like Luffy, calm and resolute like Sauron, brave like Usopp, gentle like Sanji, naughty like Nami...

Like everyone in the Straw Hats, they never give up lightly even when encountering difficulties, and they will smile at life.

From then on, Hood became fond of laughing.

Hood is getting harder and harder, scrambling to move bricks on the construction site.

"The bricks in these two cars are mine! Don't move anyone!" Hood shouted in front of the workers.

"Hey, Hood, don't make trouble! Everyone works together, what do you mean by being alone!" A worker pointed at Hood and shouted in displeasure.

"Hey, let's see how many bricks you can move!" Hood responded with a smile.

Then began to move bricks.

Hood's movements are very fast. When others moved ten bricks, Hood had already moved 30 yuan of bricks.

This made other people on the construction site very upset with Hood, but they didn't say much.

However, Hood gradually discovered that he only made money by moving bricks. Before the age of 30, it was difficult to pay back his cousin’s money and save enough money to study in Japan.

On this day, Hood came to his cousin's house again after two years.

This time he came to pay back the money.

Uncle was still reluctant to see Hood at first.

But after a period of observation, my cousin found that Hood had indeed changed.

Every day I work hard on the construction site to move bricks, and at night I have to work as a porter in a convenience store and supermarket. I don’t know what I will do when I get home.

But after working for a day, it is more than ten o'clock in the evening when I get home. It is normal to go to bed without doing anything.

In this way, the cousin observed Hood for a month and confirmed that Hood was not acting.

Called Hood out and had dinner.

"Why did my cousin suddenly think of inviting me to dinner? Could it be a Hongmen banquet!" Hood said jokingly with a smile.

The cousin looked at Hood and said with a smile, "Your personality has changed a lot in the past two years."

"Well, I was confused, but it's all over. Because people's dreams will never end, I will stick to it." Hood responded with a smile.

"Well, in fact, before your grandma died, she told me that she wanted me to support you to study in Japan. But at that time, I didn't like you. When I tell you something, I thought you were a social scum back then."

Hood just scratched his head with an embarrassed smile when he heard this.

"After you came to me this time, I was also worried. I didn't really believe that you had really changed, so I observed you secretly for a month and found that you had indeed changed hard. That's why I called you out. "

"Cousin, stop talking, let's drink and eat!"

In this way, Hood and his cousin were drinking and eating at the dinner table, talking freely.

Hood said that he once hated him, but that was also in the past. In fact, thinking about it, he used to be very weak, and he knew it.

"It takes a lot of courage to say it. Hood, do you know the meaning of your name!
"Back then your grandma named you Hu Xi, hoping that you would bring hope to your family, but in the end your father gave you a word of virtue, hoping that you would be a person of high moral character."

"A man of high moral character...brings hope in the home..."

"Well, at that time your mother gave birth to you and died of dystocia, and your father was terminally ill, so your grandmother wanted to name you Xi, Hope Xi. But your father wanted you to be of high moral character, so he took the word "De" But whether it is hope or morality, I hope that you can grow up healthy and healthy. Even if you don’t have any achievements in your life, it is enough to be a good person. This is what your family expects of you. "

"Haha, I just hope that I can be a good person." Hood said with a smile, but immediately became sad again, "But I let grandma..."

"Yeah, so I was really going to die of anger at the time. But the prodigal son will not change his money when he returns. Knowing his mistakes can make a big difference.

"How about it, you haven't forgotten your Japanese in the past two years." My cousin said with a smile, looking at Hood.

"Well, of course not. I also signed up for the next month's exam, and I study hard every day."

"Are you still studying every day?!" Uncle looked at Hood in surprise and asked.

"Well, yes, I learn two or three points every day. Now I just regret why I didn't study hard when I was in college." Hood said.

"That's too hard. You go to the construction site to move bricks at eight o'clock every morning, and you have to go to the supermarket to move goods at night."

"I also let myself relax. During the lunch break at the construction site, I would watch my favorite animation-One Piece. However, I didn't play games, and I didn't charge money. The animation of One Piece is free, and I don't need VIP. Yes. But it seems that the fee will be charged next month, maybe I still have to recharge, but ten yuan a month is not much!"

"But you still need to rest well."

"I know, cousin."

Although Hood said so, he became even harder.

Because of Hood's chat with his cousin this time, Hood felt that his cousin was not a bad person, but he had done a lot of bad things in the past.

My family wanted me to be a hopeful and virtuous person, so Hood also wanted to work hard in this direction.

until a certain day.

on the construction site.

Hood was moving bricks, but suddenly he felt his brain buzzing, like the cicadas in summer lingering in his ears.

"Ah?"

Hood's eyes suddenly became dark.

"Ah?"

Bang!

"Hood! Hood! Hey, come on, Hood's fainted!"

"Have fainted? What nonsense are you talking about, I... What's wrong with me..."

"Quick, quick!"

"Why, I suddenly feel so comfortable... I really want to sleep like this..."

"what happened?"

"Ah... Am I going to die...Damn it! I...haven't realized my dream yet! But... my cousin's money has been paid off..."

"Hit 120!"

"At least... At least let me die with a smile! I want to be like One Piece—Roger, even if I die, I have to face it with a smile! I..."

"Hey! It's moving! He's moving!"

"Where did it move?"

"I obviously moved my arm just now."

"what!!"

"What's wrong? Woc! Didn't he have this expression just now?"

"Is this a joke?"

"Laughing..."

"Buzzing~~~"

In the scorching summer, the cicadas kept singing.

Hood lay on the construction site, surrounded by scattered bricks, with a big smile on his face.

……

……

……

"Gulu Gulu Gulu~~~"

Hood Hill opened his eyes in the sea water.

cough cough!This is, oxygen. Fortunately, the system automatically uses oxygen, otherwise I would be dead.But the injuries...

Hood Hill thought so while looking at the blood he coughed up.

"Warning, the oxygen is about to run out!"

lottery!Limited to ten consecutive!
“恭喜寄主获得：氧气*1、氧气*1、橙色氧气*99、氧气*1、橙色-buff卡·忍者踩水（3分钟）、氧气*1、氧气*1、氧气*1、氧气*1、紫色-buff卡·女溺泉（单次）。”

"Buff Card Female Drowning Spring:

"Introduction: One of the pools of spring water in Mantra Spring Township. It is said that those who fall into it will become women.

"Effect: After using this buff card, the host will gain the female drowning spring physique. After pouring cold water, it will turn into a woman, and after pouring hot water, it will turn back into a man. After turning back into a male host, the buff card will become invalid."

System, I'm about to die, let's do something useful!You say what's the use of me becoming a woman now!
Another ten consecutive draws!
“恭喜寄主获得：氧气*1、氧气*1、氧气*1、氧气*1，氧气*1、氧气*1、氧气*1、氧气*1、紫色-buff卡·忍者踩水（10分钟）。”

System, you are still the best, after talking about you, you will give me the whole guarantee!Forget it!
Hood Hill slowly swam to the surface of the sea, used the buff card Ninja to step on the water, and stood on the surface of the sea.

As for Peregrine Falcon, who hadn't gone far just now, he noticed a person appearing on the sea with his knowledge.

Turning his head and looking over, it turned out to be Hood Hill standing on the sea.

"This guy, isn't he dead? I've been observing him for a long time on the bottom of the sea, but he's come back to life!" Peregrine Falcon shouted in disbelief.

And Hood Hill also saw the peregrine falcon in the sky not far away and the judicial tower behind the peregrine falcon.

The tower of justice has been cut open!It looks like everyone is about to win!On my side, I have to find a way to defeat the peregrine falcon.

System, system, give me something good!Or you settle first, so that I can definitely get the bottom-guaranteed ability.

If I have the ability to read, I should be able to defeat the peregrine falcon.

"Advance settlement is not supported at the moment."

Oh, don't be so decisive!Be flexible!I am still short of [-] witness points, so you can pay me [-] points!I don't want the rest, how about you earning blood!

"Advance settlement is not supported at the moment."

Row!you can do it!

At this moment, Peregrine Falcon walked up to Hood Hill and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that, are you still alive?"

Hood Hill looked at Peregrine and responded with a smile: "After all, my dream has not been fulfilled yet!"

"Dream? What is your dream? To become the world's number one swordsman?" Peregrine Falcon asked, looking at the knife tied around Hood Hill's waist.

"No, that's Sauron's dream, I don't want to compete with him. My dream...

"It's becoming the world's number one dancer!"

"Really! What a boring dream, go to hell! Super speed! Gang fist!"

　ps: Hood Hill's memories are over, it's not well written.

　　I originally wanted to write a story about a decadent boy who turned his prodigal son back because of One Piece, but the author felt that he didn't write the feeling.

　　Also, let’s talk about the main character’s dream here.

　　Many people have said that the protagonist's dream of being a dancer is too low.

　　So the author thought about it.

　　The so-called dream of being a dancer is what Hood Hill said to the outside world, a superficial dream.

　　And Hood Hill's real dream is to take risks with the Straw Hats and protect their companions from danger. (For example, in the current plot, the author created an enemy that is beyond the original version, an enemy that the Straw Hats may not be able to defeat together. The protagonist will realize later that perhaps because of his appearance, the plot has changed, and the original version will appear. There is no strong enemy in the world, if the Straw Hats can't beat them, he will defeat them.)
　　that's all!
