Pirate's Freedom

The finals have begun.

"Let's wait-"

All the contestants who have reached the finals come to the stage together. There is no order and no restrictions. You can dance as much as you want. You can show yourself with your dance moves.

There is only one rule.

When you can no longer hear the cheers for you, you should know that it is time to step down.

And of course the one standing at the end is——

"Our champion!!!"

In a sudden high-pitched voice, the host left the stage.

……

He wears a colorful cockscomb-like hat and has bright red wings tied to his arms.

Stomping, sliding, bouncing and falling -

The soles of the feet, heels, toes and sides -

His feet tapped the floor in a methodical succession.

His hands were waving up and down, his legs dancing like a phantom.

As the ankles moved flexibly, a loud and rhythmic 'snap' sounded on the stage in a cheerful and upward atmosphere.

The complex techniques and diverse rhythms attracted bursts of cheers from the audience.

"Tambo!! Tambo!! Tambo!!"

Although his appearance is somewhat ferocious, this guy dressed like a savage is indeed a well-known dancer in the East China Sea.

His exquisite and unique dance moves have won him a lot of support.

However, immediately after——

"Oh oh oh~so amazing~!"

A figure jumped into the air, spinning rapidly like a top, crossing its legs in the air and hitting it twenty times.

This guy caused a cry of surprise from the audience, but soon he was overshadowed by others.

Next.

The contestants showed off their skills one after another, and a variety of dances with different styles but equally wonderful were performed on the stage.

The accompaniment of music echoed on the field, constantly changing according to the dancer's style, and the atmosphere was constantly pushed to a climax——

As the contestants shouted for their support, the cheers from the audience became more and more deafening.

At the edge of the stage.

"Nami! Nokigo!"

Ila couldn't wait any longer.

"Shall we go up?"

"Take it easy, Ira."

Nami and Nokigo remained motionless.

"Observe for a while."

After seeing the level of other contestants, it was obvious that Nami and Nokigao no longer had the confidence they had just now.

"But……"

The noisy cheers gradually died down, and Ila stared at the center of the stage.

"Karina is already on."

……

The girl jumped into the air, but sank down before her toes left the ground.

What follows is no jumping, no soaring, only the emotions and gestures of a half-asleep and half-awake elf——

The glance of the eyes, the stretching of the arms, the opening and closing of the hands, the twisting of the head and back...

There are no complex and difficult body changes, only coherent and smooth movements that are completely consistent with her own body shape, and a wordless story is told.

Beyond the beautiful dance posture, the lonely and restrained heart is revealed.

From the beginning to the end, maybe I felt at a loss, and the music gradually became silent.

At last.

Turning her back to the audience, Karina raised her left hand and snapped her fingers.

Pa~!

A wonderful shiver flowed like water, spreading from the fingertips of the left hand to the shoulder, and then from the shoulder to the fingertips of the right——

In front of the microphone on the stand, between the two fingers that were gently placed together, a thunderbolt flashed away.

Bang~~! !

"..."

After a moment of silence.

"Ohhhhhhh!!!"

The audience's enthusiasm was completely ignited.

"Karina—! Karina—!! Karina—!!!"

With the overwhelming momentum, the cheers got louder and louder.

The palms of both hands were upward, as if they were holding something up, and Karina's arms lingered on.

With a smile on her face, she suddenly turned her head slightly, looked at Nami and Nokigao standing together, and lightly crossed her fingers.

"..."

Faced with such serious provocation.

After being silent for a moment, Nokigao shouted resolutely.

"Nami, let's unite!"

"what?!"

Patting her ears, Nami thought she heard wrongly.

"Just like the true sea warrior Sora!"

Noqigao's eyes were burning with fire, and her competitive spirit was burning brightly.

"Nami, you are my giant robot!"

There is a famous law that is well-known to children in "Sora the Sea Warrior", which has been serialized for decades in the World Economic Newspaper published around the world -

Before merging with the giant robot, the sea warrior Sora would never be able to defeat the enemy.

"..."

Nami glanced at the audience, which was second only to the roaring and tsunami scene when Tezoro appeared. She turned her head and shook Nokigao's shoulders desperately.

"Wake up! Nuoqi Gao!"

"The warriors of the sea never give up!"

"No matter how you look at it, we are all going to lose!!"

"Not yet! We haven't lost yet!!"

Closing his eyes slightly and pressing the golden badge on his belt, Nokigao has completely integrated into his role.

"Now... Nami! It's time! I feel it! Now, I feel like I can do anything!"

The second law is that there is no way Sora, the brave sea warrior, could merge with the fantastic warrior giant robot before being cornered.

"Nogigao...that's your illusion!"

Nami didn't want to cooperate with her performance at all.

"No! It can't be wrong! My feeling can't be wrong!!"

With a confident smile on her lips, Nokigao vowed.

"Even if you say so...Nogigao..."

Nami sighed, she felt a little tired.

"I'm not a giant robot either!"

"Nami!"

Opening his eyes suddenly, Nokigao grabbed Nami's shoulders hard.

"Believe me! Nami! Even if you don't believe in yourself! You have to believe in me who believes in you!"

"...Nogigao..."

Staring at her blankly, Nami blinked.

next moment.

"Isn't this a line from "One Sword Fighter"?! Why can you, a sea warrior, say it!!"

"Uh hee hee~!"

A laughter as clear as a silver bell rang out uncontrollably.

Nami and Nokigao looked at Karina in the center.

Those gleaming eyes were looking around.

In just a short time, several of the contestants, including Temple, who were full of confidence at the beginning, had already jumped off the stage obediently.

"Ah! By the way! Nami, I forgot to tell you just now."

Karina turned to look at her with a smile and said casually, seemingly casually.

"The trophy of the dance competition is made of gold and is almost as tall as a person."

"not to mention--"

Turning around lightly and tapping her feet, Karina gently tapped her chin with her middle finger.

"This time, since Tezzolo is here, maybe one of them will be as tall~"

"...!!!"

Nuoqi Gao, who was still holding her shoulders, could clearly feel that as Karina's words fell, there was a moment——

All the muscles in Nami's body tensed.

"..."

Covering her chest with her right hand, feeling her heart beating fiercely, Nami took a deep breath.

"Nokigao."

She turned her head and stared at Nuo Qigao, with a firm look on her face, and spoke loudly and forcefully.

"You're right, now is the time!"

"Giant robot warrior Nami——"

In an instant, she had jumped onto Nuo Qigao's shoulders, and with the power of swallowing up the world, she stretched out her finger and pointed forward.

"Participate!!!"

"...!!"

The audience was shocked at first, and then burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha!"

"Hey! Sora, the sea warrior! Hurry up and let us see!"

"Ah! Do you still want to continue struggling? That's fine!"

Raising her chin slightly, Karina was very cooperative.

"Show me your tragic end!"

"Ha~~!!"

Nami reacted very quickly and immediately pointed at her and shouted.

"You said it! This is the line from the evil organization Germa 66!!"

"Uh hee hee~!"

Karina was not afraid at all, but said with a smile.

"So what, it's already happened now, what else can you do?"

By this time, except for Karina, the shouts for everyone else were as weak as candles in the wind, and might disappear at any time.

"Hey! This is already the second sentence!"

Nami moved her body.

"What should we do, Nuo Qigao, I feel like we are sure to win for some reason."

Nuo Qigao's face was solemn, and she also knew that the time to fight back had arrived.

"Really, has it come to this time? In that case...concentrate! Nami! We are going to do it!"

……

The two came to the center of the stage together.

"Noqi Gao! Noqi Gao! Noqi Gao!"

"Nami! Nami! Nami! Nami!"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a loud cheer.

Nokigao and Nami have no stage fright.

He waved to the audience in all directions in a stylish manner, and then the two pairs of scissor hands opened and closed continuously, and the two began to dance face to face.

Relaxed, lively, and rhythmic music started playing.

"Oh oh oh! That's right! This is it! Come on!!"

The next moment, the audience cheered louder.

"Hahaha~~!!"

The two danced more happily.

Her orange and blue hair was swaying wildly, her body was twisting randomly as she wanted, and her feet were alternately grinding on the ground like stepping on cigarette butts.

Pa~pa~pa~pa——

Many people in the audience also started to sway and clapped their hands together.

In this atmosphere, the two people looking at each other had an idea.

and then—

Follow the music.

Nuoqi's tall shoulders began to rise back and forth, her eyes fixed on Nami, and she moved forward step by step.

Nodding his head up and down.

Not to be outdone, Nami swung her arms hanging by her side playfully back and forth a few times, then alternately paddled forward.

She began to demonstrate how to swim on land.

With one hand holding the hair on the back of her head and the other on her waist, Nuo Qi leaned sideways and danced backwards like a wave.

Moving her neck back and forth, Nami pushed her hands forward, then flipped her wrists, drawing a circle outwards, and then retracted them to her side.

Nuoqi raised her shoulders, shook her body, and drew two fingers horizontally in front of her eyes. The classic scissor hands appeared again.

"Scissor hands~~!! Scissor hands~~!! Scissor hands~~!!"

The audience shouted in unison, and the music also changed, and cheers gathered amid the playful and joyful music.

Their bodies were relaxed and swaying casually, and they were looking at each other as they moved forward and backward in a coherent manner.

[Hey, Nami, have you seen it? 】

[Well, Nuo Qigao, I saw it! 】

【The road under our feet——】

Looking at each other, everything is self-evident.

【Continuously extending forward】

There is no doubt that pressure is also motivation.

By this time, both of them had broken away from Ila's stereotypes and reached a new and eclectic level.

Nami opened her hands and moved her waving fingers in front of her face. Not only her head, but also her whole body was swaying happily.

Pointing her toes and twisting her waist playfully, Nuoqi raised her right hand high and moved it across her side like a wave from top to bottom.

Nami clenched her hands into fists in front of her body, and Nami responded to her, sometimes moving them apart and shaking them up and down, and sometimes shaking them left and right in one place.

Nokigao turned his head slightly, lowered his gaze downwards, and lowered his arms, swinging and crossing them rhythmically in front of and behind him.

The two of them seemed to be dancing alone, but they also seemed to have a tacit understanding and become one with each other.

"..."

Looking at everything happening in front of her, Karina twitched the corners of her mouth. She really didn't know what to say.

Shaking her knees and ankles, and moving her steps slightly, Nami stretched out her finger, pointed at Nokigao, and swung her arms back and forth.

Nokigao turned around with his back to Nami, bent his legs forward at the knees, tapped his feet on his toes, and snapped his fingers with his hands.

Nami suddenly pinched her nose in a funny way, waved her right hand in front of her body, shook her hair, and swayed as she squatted down and stood up again.

"Hahahahahaha~~"

At this moment, the audience has become a sea of ​​joy.

"Uh huh huh~! I'm going to fuck you too!"

Ila ran up with a patter.

"Nami~! Nokigao~! I want to fly high-!!"

After a few quick steps, the little whale jumped up.

"preparation--"

Nuoqi held up her upper body, and Nami held up her lower body. Amidst a burst of joyful screams, the two of them suddenly exerted force forward.

"Go!!"

"Oh oh oh oh~~!!"

Flying up and down, falling and flying up again, flying high in the air, the little whale kept spinning, trying hard to raise its tail...

In the ocean of enthusiasm and joy, pairs of arms rise and fall like the tide...
