[One Piece/Luo BG] The rules of getting along with leopard men

A white dress was stained with blood, his face was pale but his smiling eyes were still crooked, and when he called his name, his tone was weak but still gentle.This is Lance's last impression of his mother.

11 years ago, on the same day.

Lotte Lance rushed home all the way, the moment he pushed his family away, he faced acquaintances lying on the ground, whose life and death were unknown—all members of the magic troupe his father belonged to.

As for his mother, her white dress was stained red with blood, and she was lying in a pool of blood.

"Mom," the boy's first reaction was to run to his mother.

"It's Lance." The bloody woman opened her eyes with difficulty, and raised her hand weakly to caress the boy's cheek. "It's nice to see you again at this time."

What the hell was going on here while he was away?The young man really wanted to ask this question. He had experienced too many changes, and he had no time to take care of some things. The matter of his sister was weighing heavily on his heart, and the scene in front of him had already plunged him into confusion.

"Mom, what should I do, what should I do..." Lance hugged his mother tightly, crying desperately, his voice trembling.

"My Lance is the best brother in the world," the woman said in a hoarse voice, "he can definitely take care of himself and his sister, right..."

"No," Lance shook his head with tears in his eyes. How could he bear to say it at this moment, because he had been lost by his sister just now.

Raising her hand tremblingly, she wiped away the tears from the corners of Lance's eyes. The corner of the woman's mouth tried to rise, showing a relieved smile, and took out an envelope from her body with difficulty, and handed it to Lance, "I'm sorry, we could have left together. .”

Inside the envelope were three boat tickets to leave the island.

Originally, she had planned it all, and this was the most vicious decision she had ever made in her life, so she would treat it as an end: she planned to send all of her husband's most cherished magic troupe, together with the hidden murderer, to the Another world accompanied him; and she, with a pair of children, disappeared from this island.

"But that's fine too," she coughed up blood, her voice broken, "with me in the past to accompany him, your father, in another world, you won't be alone..."

Outside of her plan, there are always some people with guilty consciences and ghosts in their hearts, especially for her "victim" family members who are full of vigilance, and do not drink the "farewell wine" she carefully prepared. Although they escaped, they are also exposed. For herself, when the other party showed her true colors, and the mocking reveal was just a moment of "hate from jealousy", the anger completely burned her sanity, and what she thought was that even if she died together, she would drag the other party to hell with her.

She thought so and did it.

By the time she came back to her senses, it was already too late. In the chaos, she ended the opponent with a sharp knife. As a price, she suffered more fatal injuries.

"I'm really sorry, we must be the worst parents in the world to leave you brothers and sisters..." Consciousness gradually blurred, and as a mother, her last words to her children were: "Lance, take Feifei, forever Leave here, forget everything, and live freely."

It's too late... The young man nodded with a sob, this promise is too heavy, and he needs to carry his whole life to fulfill it.

Three tickets, but in the end only one person boarded the boat, and Lotte Lance has been alone ever since.For the next ten years, he kept looking for it, and throughout his life, everything related to Lotte Isafe became his deepest obsession.

--------------------------------------

Chambord Islands.

The silver-haired girl clutched her chest in pain, her delicate facial features wrinkled together because of the uncontrollable pain in her heart, her head was about to explode, and her heart was repeatedly torn by hands tightly clenched.

It's so heavy, I really want to escape... The whole person seems to have fallen into a bottomless dark abyss, his vision is gradually blurred, and all the colors in this world are fading.

It was because of such pain in the past that you were closed. Now that you know it, do you want to choose to deceive yourself again?

Beaten by "the past" once again...is it really okay?

It's still a little bit close, I have to recall everything——

--------------------------------------

Memories of the two endings that were not very good were torn in my mind at the same time, and the childish body was imprisoned in a small wooden cage, crossing the ocean without seeing the sun.

Dirty, rundown, messy.This is "her" first memory of this world.

But all this doesn't matter, the soul is lifeless, and the living ones are just puppets.

After many twists and turns, "she" was brought before a young woman with long silver hair.

For no reason, she was naturally attracted by the gentle aura of the beautiful woman in front of her.

"Miss Melody, we robbed the transport ship of human traffickers a while ago, and the other children were arranged to be sent back to their parents after being rescued, but this child neither paid attention nor spoke, and was completely closed. Myself, we can only send her to you."

"Let me see," the silver-haired woman said, squatting down and looking at her with bright eyes, and then she smiled softly with her lips pursed, "She is a very cute little princess."

Miss Melody's smile was clean and pure, and seemed to have the ability to heal people's hearts.

"Little princess, can you tell me your name?"

The girl who kept silent no matter how she was asked before, this time she answered her out of the mouth: "Ai Qi."

"Aech..." Melody repeated the name several times before laughing again, "Aech, 'gift from heaven', such a lovely name."

Thousands of sun rays dispersed the clouds, and the afternoon became long and warm.

From this day on, she was given the name "Ai Qi", and followed this young woman called "Miss Melody".

Maybe it's because the memory fusion of "Ai Qi" and "Isafe" is still in an unstable stage, maybe it's because the immature body can't bear the two heavy memories, or maybe it's some other reason, the six-year-old "Ai Qi" "Emotions are very unstable, many times she is always silent alone, sometimes she seems to be stimulated by something, completely closed herself, and shed tears crazily...

"The damage to this child's heart is much more serious than we imagined." Melody took the silently crying child into her arms and sighed worriedly. She was the only person Ai Qi tacitly allowed to approach her.

"Perhaps we can try another treatment method?"

Melody shook her head lightly, lowered her head and planted a pitiful kiss on the top of the child's hair in her arms, "I am also trying to do some hypnotherapy...but she is always resisting unconsciously, and positive induction is completely ineffective."

For this child, she would rather be imprisoned by the pain of the past over and over again than choose to discard the past. How could she bear to forcibly twist her will and delete her memories.

Eventually, she switched to a more eclectic approach.

"Little Aiqi," she communicated with the girl in front of her as an equal and independent individual, "Let's make an agreement."

"Leave your 'past' to me for safekeeping." She calmly looked directly into the girl's sea-blue eyes, and explained, "Since you don't want to forget, then I will help you seal all 'them', and wait for the future , when you have enough courage and ability to face the past, the 'seal' will be lifted, and at that time, whether to surrender or defeat it is entirely up to you..."

The dull and empty eyes confronted her.

Melody held her breath and waited for a long time before finally waiting for the girl to give her a slight nod.

She breathed a sigh of relief silently.

After that day, it was several months of high-intensity hypnotherapy. With the cooperation of the hypnotized person, the effect of hypnosis was remarkable. "Little Ai Qi" gradually smiled, and her original personality was gradually revealed: Ai Hua , beauty, love to laugh.

What's more, she didn't know where she made a mistake, but she still regarded Melody as her mother. The heart of the army commander was completely melted.

"My little princess is so cute!" It was rare for Miss Melody to show such a motherly side in front of her colleagues.

Hearing this, the fellow revolutionary soldiers couldn't help turning their heads and snickering, and coughed lightly to cover up their gaffe, but in their hearts they crazily agreed: Little Ai Qi is really well-behaved and cute!

Afterwards, he straightened his face again and asked, "So Miss Melody wants to take her with her all the time?"

Melody's face turned serious, and she answered him in a firm tone, "Since this child calls me 'Mom', she will be my daughter from now on, Terry, her smile is like sunshine, I want to protect her smile. "

The man was silent for a while, raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, "Isn't this the ideal we are striving for?"

Needless to say, they were originally united by a common revolutionary goal.

Melody returned a faint smile, which was her trademark.Suddenly remembered something, she tilted her head and asked, "I heard that Frankenstein Linde developed a coloring drug for undercover agents a while ago, which can permanently change hair color. Can you get me a bottle?"

"What do you want this for?"

"My little princess has been asking me recently why her hair color is different from mine," Melody proudly stroked her silvery hair, with a look of "a woman who is full of everything". "I'm going to create a whole new childhood for her, to be the real 'Melodie Archie'."

"..."

So this matter was decided.

Ai Qi, who has regained the memory of this scene, has to sigh: There are so many coincidences in the world, but it is regrettable but fortunate that the silver hair she is proud of is not born with her; the blue hair and blue eyes are what Lance has been looking for for ten years. The younger sister, Yishafei, was actually her.

——It was almost, and I was going to miss my "brother" again.

…If you don’t want to lose more, you have to think about it, Ai Qi, it’s still the last bit, hold on.

……

The silver-haired girl raised her elbow to wipe away the last tears. After the tears had washed her eyes, her eyes became extremely clear. At some point, her eyes became resolute, and the smile at the corner of her mouth bloomed again, as if she had regained her strength after being devastated by the storm. Blooming flowers are generally brilliant.

All the memories finally came back.

Although painful, it is not as difficult as imagined in the past.

Is it because she has grown up?Or it is because there is a "source of strength" that can be relied on and absorbed.

As Ai Qi, she remembered the last agreement with her brother - "One day, you can recall the past with a smile."

As Isafie, she waited for Lotte Lance who never gave up on her.

As Ai Qi, she grew up in the care, and finally breathed freely in this vast sea, and also had the most lovely group of partners and captains in the world.

It's time to wipe away the tears.Ai Qi said to herself in her heart——

A new chapter of the story is about to open, Ai Qi, now you are the person in the story, and your very existence has already affected the trajectory of the world.

Maybe your ability alone is not enough to shake the overall situation, and you can't change much of the "original plot", but if you care, Luo must also care...

So, go meet the people you meet, do what you want to do, even if you can't do it in the end, you have to have a clear conscience.
