Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 129

Lush grass, lush trees, white tablecloth under the shade, simple and delicate pastries on the tablecloth, Anke, Raphael, and Lian sitting there in a triangle, with three cups of steaming tea in front of them .The breeze blows occasionally, and colorful butterflies fly by from time to time. Under the big trees full of green leaves, there is a rain of pink cherry blossoms, and the faint fragrance of flowers fills the air.It's really a happy scene during a picnic, but unfortunately~~ a certain chick's expression looks left, right, up and down, as if she is interrogating a prisoner.

Picking up the teacup in front of him and taking a sip, Raphael looked at the beautiful scenery around him with a smile, and his eyes were once again glued to Anke, "Dating with my dear under such a beautiful scenery~~ I didn't come in vain Already~~~".The background of dancing pink cherry blossoms, coupled with a noble person like a prince (said by a certain orange-haired navigator...), forms a moving picture.It is indeed touching, if one ignores the various fruits that keep falling from the void and smashing the blue-haired head.

It's a pity...the people present are all people who don't know how to appreciate it, such as the kid who keeps using hallucinations to make fruits and smash people, or the teenager who is holding a hallucinatory teacup and closing his eyes to savor it carefully.Looking at the fruit that disappeared automatically before touching Raphael's head, Anke said lightly: "Little devil, either change your mouth automatically or let those fruits hit you automatically, choose one..."

Raphael now knows that Encore likes cute things very much, and he will never let go of a chance to increase his affection. He immediately opened his eyes wide and pursed his lips, trying to pretend to be cute: "Can I choose neither of them~~ dear The ~~~".

"..." Enke, who was inexplicably cute, closed his eyes and calmed down.

Raphael snickered, and the cunning that couldn't be concealed was revealed from the bottom of his eyes, so even if it was an idiotic expression, it looked pretty good with that face that turned all sentient beings upside down...

Opening his right eye and looking at the person who pretends to be cute and innocent, Lian decided to keep his eyes closed, so he doesn't want to confuse this guy with the person who threatened him with domineering arrogance yesterday, even though they are both the same person.

Anke who calmed down still closed his eyes, and said lightly: "If you don't choose, you can go back~ Anyway, I don't care if I go back..."

"It's too much~~" Raphael, who continued to work hard to be cute, said pitifully: "Every time I find time to find you dear, but you always chase me away. But Mr. Lian stays here so You haven't said anything for a long time~~It's not fair~~"

"I'll ask Lian about something later, and we haven't seen each other for 7 years, what does it matter if he stays longer?" En Ke opened his eyes and didn't look in the direction of a certain blue fur, and raised himself up to himself. The younger brother with more than two heads smiled softly, "There are many, many, questions to ask! Right?! Lian~~"

Hearing Anke's gentle call, Lian, who was terrified all over her body, immediately straightened her body and responded loudly and respectfully: "Yes, sister!! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!!"

Nodding in satisfaction, Encore instantly felt that he had sinned deeply when he looked at Raphael at this moment, although the duration was only 0 seconds.I saw a certain blue-haired man ready to cry, and his sky-blue red phoenix eyes were filled with thin mist at the moment, and the tears that could not be shed increased the person's sense of guilt (although neither of the two people present felt that there was any so-called Guilty), the thin lips that had always been smiling slightly curved down at this moment, and his face looked like a poor little animal that was abandoned by others.So, if a certain evil blue-haired man really can't lose to a certain chick in acting, the sense of reality will make a certain chick feel guilty, although the time is a bit pitiful.

Once again sighed helplessly in her heart, Anke swore that if this blue-haired creature was not useful, she would have abused him in various ways, don't ask why she didn't cut him down, because a certain chick just because of If you can't beat them, they will be entangled until now.Anke waved helplessly at the blue-haired man who acted too realistically. As expected, he saw Raphael approaching him in the next second. After stroking his hair, Enke gently said He said in a coaxing tone: "Hey, you can stay as long as you like, okay?".Rubbing the blue hair that feels good under his hands, Anke patted his face and motioned him to go back... Ah no, go back to his seat and sit.

After seeing a certain blue-haired creature who had been comforted as a pet and didn't know it went back to sit in the sun, Anke silently rolled his eyes in his heart, "Why should I, as a child, take care of these minds?" People who are children, Raphael is like this, Luffy is like this, fortunately, Ren is still normal...'.On the Golden Merry in the distance, a foodie wearing a straw hat sneezed inexplicably, rubbed his nose suspiciously, and continued to steal food.

After knowing that a certain blue hair could not be driven away, Anke ignored him and asked directly: "Speaking of which, Lian. Do you know Rafael?"

"Yes, everyone in the upper echelons of the Navy Headquarters knows His Highness Rafael. Not only did he become the king of the mysterious country Artesdylan at a young age, but he also has excellent ability to handle affairs smoothly, and his character is also very good." Lian said expressionlessly. He said everything he knew like an endorsement: "Because we were ordered to protect His Royal Highness Raphael who came to the World Government Headquarters for a meeting during the assassination of the troops, so we probably know that much, sister."

"This kind of guy needs someone to protect him??" After forcing a certain blue hair that kept trying to get up to stay in place with his eyes, Anke nodded, "Then, after being taken away by the navy, how did you get into the navy? Assassin's? Do you know where the others are?"

"No, most of the children who were taken away by the navy ran away. Originally, the four of us planned to find you, sister, but we were accidentally involved in a civil strife in a country. An Qi..." Lian paused, and then Continuing expressionlessly, "An Qi didn't receive much training when she was in the laboratory, so she died in the civil strife. Then we all got separated, and Brother Noah and Brother Xiang didn't know whether they were alive or dead. In the next two years Afterwards, I was taken away by the navy, because at that time I just knew that the navy planned to use the power of the Demon Slaughter Order to arrest my sister, but it failed, and my sister, you don’t know where you went. In order to get more news about you , I have been staying in the Navy Headquarters..."

"Is An Qi dead..." A little girl hugging a rabbit doll appeared in her mind, An Ke shook her head and quickly forgot about her, and a little sadness was blown into the air with the wind.

"That person named Xiang, I know~~" Raphael interjected lightly: "At that time, it happened not long after the Demon Slaying Order passed, that is, when the news of Xiao Ke's death was spreading all over the world, the government took action. A very serious matter happened. It is said that a 10-year-old boy sneaked into the mansions of important government officials and killed many officials. Not only that, many powerful navies were also killed because they did not guard against him. When he was arrested, he just smiled and said something inexplicable, "It's a pity that I don't have the ability to kill those who hurt my sister, otherwise I will definitely let you be buried with her!". And the boy's name is 'Xiang', Flying Xiang..."

Anke just showed a slight surprise on his face, then lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, and the usual smile disappeared without a trace at the moment.

"How come..." Lian was also surprised, her eyes widened in disbelief, "Why didn't I hear about it when I was in the navy..."

"Pressed it with all my strength. After all, it happened to be an eventful season at that time. The navy didn't want to cause trouble. The officials who were killed quickly found similar people to replace them. Everyone who knew tried to keep silent. The only people who knew were a few high-level people. , not even Shichibukai knows about it..." Rafael looked at Enke quietly, whose expression had not changed, and his tone was slightly worried, "It is said that the boy's body was secretly disposed of, but no one knew that it was Where is the burial. Some people say that it is very likely that he was taken back by his partner for a good burial..."

"His partner..." Lian tried her best to think in a good direction, "It should be Brother Noah..."

After glancing at Lian, Anke turned his head and said lightly: "It should be Noah, I remember that his ability is far above yours, and he was already performing tasks before leaving the laboratory, and he performed brilliantly every time." It's done. Besides, there shouldn't be many people who know Xiang and can save him..."

"Great, Brother Noah is still alive..." Lian, who didn't have any doubts, completely believed in Anke's words, and she rarely showed an innocent smile, which then disappeared, frowning hard to hide her sadness.The sudden arrival let him know that his former partner is either missing or dying. Even if he is considered a person who has experienced wind and rain, he is still sad.

But Anke just let out a long sigh in her heart, and she didn't have any more emotion. She was not sad, but felt a little pity.The vague sadness in her heart has been ignored by her. After looking at Lian, Anke thought with a little envy: "It's great, now Lian still has a little bit of normal people's feelings, and knows how to be sad and sad."It's a pity, I don't really need this kind of feeling...'

Raphael quietly played with his jade flute, and there was only one four-leaf clover pendant hanging on it.Suddenly he paused, and after thinking for a while, he looked at the two people who were silent, "Xiao Ke, you just said the name 'Noah'? I seem to have heard of it somewhere..."

"Well," nodded, Enke looked at Raphael with a puzzled face, "do you know the news about Noah? Ah, this Noah is a boy, not the legendary ship..."

"Well, I know, I always feel like I heard it somewhere..." Tapping his head with the jade flute in his hand, Raphael tried his best to capture the flash of memory, but he still couldn't remember, "Where did I hear it?" ..."

"It's fine if you can't remember, at least he should still be alive now." He took a breath, and after looking at the four-leaf clover pendant, Anke continued to ask Lian who was still in deep thought, "So, what did you do yesterday? What did you use to stun me? It doesn’t feel like Haiju’s new tool, right?”

After explaining yesterday's acupressure to Encore in detail, Lian was not surprised that he was hit on the head by a few pineapples. Although he could see through the illusion, in order for Encore not to be angry, he obediently accepted the punishment and had to accept it. That being said, the pineapple still hurts when you drop it.

The dark-faced Anke thought that he fell asleep because of this inexplicable power, and couldn't help but get angry. Although the culprit accepted the punishment obediently now, he continued to throw a pineapple over, and then slowly said : "So, what are your plans next? Do you want to go back to the Navy?"

"No, I originally planned not to stay there anymore. Before I came out this time, I also blew up the disgusting reincarnation eye laboratory. There are not many researchers and materials left. The tools invented by the Navy in the past five years are huge. Most of them should be destroyed, except for some that have been secretly given to some troops..." Lian casually glanced at Lanmao who was leisurely rubbing against Anke, and Lian didn't say any more.

"..." The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Enke, who heard the good news by accident, didn't know how to react. The research center was blown up, and all tools capable of restraining or harming were destroyed.Seeing the faint color of asking for credit in Lian's eyes, Anke frowned slightly and said, "Lian, you don't have to do this kind of thing. You should know better than me when you stay in the navy. There will be no good end. You should also know what the Navy will do next. Not only have you bombed the Navy Center, but you also betrayed Vice Admiral Deca and the others yesterday. According to these clues, the Navy will definitely know that you are the station On my side, they will definitely not let you go."

"It's because I know that I'm here to find you, sister!" Lian couldn't help raising her voice excitedly: "Sister, the navy will definitely make a big move soon! Those combat power must be much higher than the demon-killing five years ago Ling, you will definitely..."

"Lian!" Interrupting Lian's words, An Ke smiled softly and indifferently, her purple eyes were full of calm and understanding, "I know."

The sudden wind blows up the fallen leaves, and the dancing posture of the slowly falling cherry blossom petals flutters along with them, fluttering and messy with beauty. The three of them in the cherry blossom rain seem to be still, letting the light pink surround them.Lian looked at the calm Anke in astonishment, and shook her head in disbelief, as if the wind was too strong and she couldn't hear what she was saying clearly.

Anke slowly raised her head, looking at the bright sun in the blue sky through her fluttering long hair and messy cherry blossoms. The bright sun made her close her eyes uncomfortably, and then slowly opened them. The light of colored glaze swirled downstream.Anke tried hard to maintain that movement, but in the end, because he couldn't bear the brilliance of the sun, he lowered his head to look at the cherry blossom petals that fell on the ground and disappeared without a trace. After a moment of silence, he said lightly: "I know... all... ..."

Lian was even more stunned. After taking a blank look at Encore, she shifted her gaze to Raphael who had sat next to Encore at some point.Raphael just shook the jade flute in his hand towards Lian, and the dangling four-leaf clover pendant reflected emerald-like light in the sun.

Smiling softly, Anke still had a face full of disapproval. After tugging on Raphael's blue hair next door, Anke said to him who turned his head lightly: "Raphael, can you avoid it for a while? Lian and I I have something to say."

"I see." After nodding understandingly, Raphael put the white jade flute in Anke's hand, and then disappeared.In the silently flying cherry blossom rain, there were only two people left. The picnic scene made by hallucinations had disappeared, while the cherry blossom rain was still falling tirelessly. It was beautiful, but with illusory paleness.
