Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 724 A Living Toy; The Rabbit I Picked Up
However, at this moment, Sanji suddenly smelled the fragrance coming from the city, and he was directly attracted to leave the team, "This fragrance is..."

·
Luo, who was explaining carefully, didn't notice his departure, and continued: "Our Caesars return team will pass through Dressrosa, cross the long bridge in the north, and head to Greenbit."

·
Hearing this, Usopp couldn't help asking: "Why did you go from Dressrosa on purpose? Wouldn't it be better for everyone to go directly by boat?"

·
"I heard that you can't get there by boat."

·
Robin from the same team said with a smile, "Ah, this is quite exciting~"

·
Seeing their unreliable appearance, Caesar couldn't help asking: "Please... please deliver safely..."

·
Upon hearing that there might be danger, Usopp, who always fell ill in special times, covered his stomach and said with a distressed face, "I have a disease that prevents me from entering Dressrosa..."

·
Luo paused for a moment, then looked at Nami and the others and said, "Also, watch out for the enemy's attack on the fleet. Don't let the ship be taken away."

·
Nami immediately became nervous, "What is that? What's going on??"

·
"Will there be enemies coming?" Momonosuke, who was also about to stay on the boat, also became nervous.

·
"Huh??", the bones of the same team were also pale with fright, although they were only pale bones, "Isn't it safe to watch the boat?"

·
"After all, this is also the base camp of the enemy..." Chopper, who also needed to watch the ship, was not too worried, "However, Sanji also watched the ship together~~", However, when it looked at Sanji who was standing When I found that there was nothing there, I immediately shouted in surprise, "Oh?? Sanji is gone!!!"

·
Usopp, who also discovered this, also looked in panic at the team that had lost several people for no reason, "Speaking of which! Why are Luffy and the others gone?? Where's Encore?? Isn't she on the same team as us???"

·
(Team distribution: Look at the fleet: Sanji, Nami, Brook, Chopper, Momanosuke, Caesar Return Team: Encore, Law, Usopp, Robin, Samurai Rescue Team: Kinemon, Factory Destruction Team : Luffy, Zoro, Franky).In other words, those who ran away were all the main force of the main force...

·
Luo couldn't help but gritted his teeth, "They are the main force in the battle! Where did they go???"

·
The little civet cat immediately panicked, "Then who is going to protect us??"

·
Long Nose, who was also flustered, ran around anxiously, "That's right!! It's because of Encore that I dared to go to this seemingly safest team!! Luffy, why did you abduct the umbrella?" Ahh!!!”

Dressrosa, inside the city.

·
Simple but exquisite houses, clean streets, lush street trees, and blooming flowers on street corners make Dressrosa look like a very ordinary resort town.The air seemed to be filled with the fragrance of flowers and the faint smell of food.

·
"It smells so good~~~~", the same words came from Luffy and Sanji, but the former was because of the smell of the food, and the latter was because of the woman's perfume hidden in it.

·
Suddenly, a yellow dog biting the arm of a puppet hurriedly ran past them, and there was a puppet chasing it behind it. cotton, which means that it is a real toy puppet.But the toy was alive now, chasing the yellow dog like a human, and kept yelling in panic, "Wait! Stop! Mario!! Give me back my arm! Really! This child is real!!"

·
Hearing the noise, a little girl in a pink dress standing at the corner turned her head, but it was a mechanical toy, and she could even hear the creaking sound when her neck moved.

·
"!!!", Luffy's group of people stared blankly at the toy running past them. After staring at its back for a long time, Luffy said in disbelief, "Mao...plush toy... ...?"

·
At this moment, a wire-lifting machine guard suddenly appeared in front of them, and the sound of iron parts moving could be heard in every move, "Hi everyone, I'm a soldier~ Why do you look so familiar... I've seen you This face..." The string toy kept approaching Luffy's face. After hesitating for a while, he remembered it, and immediately spun around on the spot, "That's right!! I remembered! It was from this morning. Morning paper!!"

·
However, after spinning a few times, the robot guard was entangled by the thread on his body, and fell to the ground unable to move, "Oops! The thread is entangled! Help me!"

·
Luffy subconsciously blocked Encore behind him, still looking at the toy that was entangled in the thread and fell to the ground in disbelief, "What is this? A toy??"

·
Zoro, who found something, also whispered, his words were also full of disbelief, "Luffy, look over there."

·
Luffy looked in the direction he was facing, and was also dumbfounded.I saw that there were all kinds of toys in the street not far away.In a family that is shopping, the father and the child are different types of toys, while the mother is a normal human being, but they can't tell the difference at all, just like an ordinary human family where they get along well.Even one of the many couples on the street is a toy, but it still has no influence.Humans and toys live together extremely harmoniously, as if there is no difference or awkwardness, as if it has always been like this.

·
——People who visit this country will be obsessed with some things, one is the fragrant flowers, and the dishes that the country is proud of, and the other is the passionate dance of the tireless women.There are also toys that are extremely integrated and coexist with humans and have life.This is the land of love, passion and toys - Dressrosa.

·
"!!!!" Seeing the scene over there, the entire group was stunned. After all, the reality beyond common sense was a bit unexpected.

·
At this time, a toy that looked like a grasshopper robot rushed out from a certain street, yelling in a panic, "A man was stabbed!!"

·
The soldier who fell on the ground saw the chaos over there, and said helplessly: "It happened again..."

·
"" Happened again? " Hearing this, Sauron looked down at it in doubt, "Is there a serial killer here? ""

·
"No, women in this country are full of passion for love, and they are very jealous. Once betrayed by a man..." After a pause, the soldier who was entangled in the thread calmly said the ending, "I will take a knife Stabbing people, the more beautiful you are, the more often you stab people~~~~"

·
"It's terrible..." Sauron couldn't help but shed a drop of cold sweat.

·
Encore looked at the humans and toys who got along well, then smiled and raised his hand to touch the blindfold over his left eye.No way, once she sees someone, she wants to habitually look at their inner activities, although those ordinary people don't have much information worthy of her attention.

·
"Enke, let's have a good adventure today~~" Luffy reached out and grabbed her left hand that was pressing on the black blindfold, and then smiled happily: "Although the toy is moving, let's see it later~~ Going to eat~~~~”

·
After a while, several people who changed their costumes appeared in a quiet corner with no one there.Zoro and Sanji put on black suits and leather shoes, the former wore sunglasses, and the latter wore plain glasses with black frames.A pervert with strong principles only squeezed his strange upper body into a black suit jacket, wearing a black hat, and his lower body still only had a pair of red pants; Kin'emon was wearing a black kimono and geta, conspicuous The bun is also covered with a black hat, and a pair of sunglasses are also worn.

·
Luffy, wearing sunglasses, only changed his red shirt into a black-bottom seaside shirt with yellow sunflowers printed on it, and the straw hat was also covered with a black hat, which didn't look very obvious.An Ke also wore an all-black dress that reached her knees, her black hair was loose as usual, and the white camellia that she always wore was turned into a small black top hat with a few feathers on her head. She was still wearing blindfolds, and she used illusion to turn the white fan into a folded black long-handled umbrella.Moreover, except for her, all the men wore all kinds of mustaches and goatees...

·
"Very good~ I'm done dressing up~~I'm so hungry~~~", Luffy, who transformed into a strong little old man, looked around energetically, and immediately saw a simple restaurant on the corner of the street with sharp eyes, " Let’s go there and have a look~Encore~ let’s go~~~~”

·
"Yes, yes~~", Anke smiled and followed behind with an umbrella. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of something on the street corner on the right.A strange feeling made her stop and look there, only to find that it was just a toy plush rabbit that was discarded there.

·
The new plush rabbit is about 60cm, wearing blue denim overalls and a white short-sleeved shirt, but the face, arms and legs have been cut many times, and a lot of cotton has leaked out. few.The white rabbit with its back against the wall lowered its head, its long ears drooping listlessly.

·
However, an abandoned toy is not what Encore cares about. What she cares about is that there is a conspicuous light red flower pattern next to the black pearl-like left eye.The pattern with an unclear name is quietly on the white fur of the plush toy, which looks a little weird.And what she cares most about is the power contained in that pattern.

·
She knew very well that it was the power of her left eye, and there was no doubt that it was made by her own hands.But the strange thing is that she doesn't have any memory at all. After all, it's impossible for her to remember nothing about the contract pattern that consumes so much power.

·
Seeing her stop, Sauron also stopped in doubt, and then followed her gaze to look at the rabbit doll, "What's wrong? Encore?"

·
"No, it's just something very interesting." Anke shook his head, then reached out to touch the black eye patch covering his left eye in puzzlement.She is now completely sure that the pattern on the rabbit is her masterpiece, but she really has no memory at all.That kind of contract that would consume a year or two of the surgeon's lifespan, why did she put it on a rabbit?Or is that rabbit important enough for her to cherish it so much? ?
·
"What's the matter, what's the matter??" Luffy, who had run away, saw that no one was following, so he ran back and looked at the few people standing there suspiciously.When he saw the rabbit, he immediately jumped in front of it and squatted down curiously, "What's wrong with this rabbit? It was scratched so badly..."

·
"Really." Frankie also walked there, bent down to poke the leaking cotton, "The arm is about to be cut off, it's so pitiful."

·
"But, why does cutie care about that dirty rabbit??" Sanji looked at the rabbit suspiciously, and suddenly thought of a possible reason.If you look at Anke's childhood, she probably didn't have a toy of her own, and when she saw that abandoned toy, she couldn't help but feel sympathetic.

·
Thinking of this heart-wrenching reason, a certain cook immediately made up his mind to take good care of the cute and weak mate of their ship!Then buy her a lot of toys as soon as you have time later! !

·
It's a pity that the 'cute and weak' deputy captain in his heart doesn't feel any kind of sympathy at all.He just simply cared about the power that appeared on the rabbit's face that belonged to him but he had no impression of it at all.

·
After thinking for a while, she bent forward and hugged the fluffy plush rabbit with her right hand without the umbrella. After holding her hands firmly, she blinked her purple right eye and looked at her captain, "Luffy~~I want it..."

·
"Okay~~~~", the straw hat captain who had no opinion at all immediately nodded vigorously, stretched out his hand to pat the dust off the rabbit, and then took the umbrella in her hand to make it easier for her to hug the plush rabbit.

·
After Sanji looked distressedly at the co-captain who was 'cute and weak to be loved and protected' in his eyes, he suggested with a smile, "In that case, let's fix this rabbit first~~"

·
"Oh?? Where's the meal??"The hungry captain immediately looked at him angrily.

·
"Little cutie likes this rabbit, if you don't make it clean and beautiful, how can it stand up to the little cutie?" Sanji stared at the foodie angrily, then pointed to the tailor shop not far away, "It's just on the way anyway, just wait for a few minutes for the sake of cutie."

·
"For Encore??", a simple foodie immediately put away all his dissatisfaction, and happily jumped to his deputy captain, "Then I will bear it~~~"

·
While everyone was talking, no one noticed that the white rabbit moved its paws slightly, and then returned to silence. There was no human emotion in its dark eyes, just like a lifeless rabbit. Like a real plush toy.

·
After going to the tailor shop to fix the plush rabbit, the group continued on towards the restaurant.The bearded captain of the straw hat held an umbrella in one hand, and ran towards the humble restaurant that he had been eyeing, "Hurry up! I'm hungry!"

·
"Then I'll be full later~~", Anke followed behind with a smile, reaching out to touch the pattern on the left eye of the rabbit doll from time to time.The rabbit doll who was being harassed remained motionless and was quietly hugged by her.

·
The others followed them quietly, but Sauron, who was at the back, walked a few steps, and seemed to hear something. He stopped and turned his head to look at the stairs next to him with slight vigilance.

·
Anke's footsteps also paused, and after a slight frown, he continued to walk forward, as if he didn't know anything.

·
On the stairs, a burly blind man was slowly walking down the stairs while tapping on the edge of the stairs with his guide stick.The uncle with a beard and Laza has crossed scars on his forehead. He is wearing a light purple kimono, a dark purple cloak, and clogs on his feet.The uncle with a height of more than two meters looked no different from ordinary people, but Sauron slowly put his right hand on the handle of Gui Che's knife, and then held it naturally.

·
After walking down the stairs, the blind uncle still took a step and tapped the ground in front of him with his guide stick to ensure that there were no obstacles before continuing to move forward.Sauron just stood there, watching the uncle who was half a meter taller than him pass by him, but he didn't let go of Gui Che's hand.

·
After walking two or three meters behind him, the blind man stopped suddenly, and then politely said in a low voice, "Excuse me, I heard there is a casino nearby, do you know where it is?"

·
Sauron loosened his grip on the handle of the knife, and after feeling that he was not hostile, he said lightly, "Sorry, uncle, it's my first time here too. Go to the store over there and ask."

·
Hearing the voice coming from behind, the blind man turned around quickly, then nodded slightly, and thanked him gently, "Really, thank you." After thanking him, the blind man nodded slightly, then continued to turn around and tap slowly Walk forward slowly.

·
Sauron just watched him leave, his right eye behind the sunglasses quickly flashed a trace of solemnity.
