Pirate's Freedom

The evening breeze outside the window is cool and the night is like water.

inside the window.

The slightly yellowish glow is warm.

The pungent aroma of onions, the aroma of basil leaves, various spices, the light aroma of rice and milk, the rich aroma of grilled, stewed, fried meat, and oil all permeate the corners of the lips and the tip of the nose.

The dishes and chopsticks jingled softly in my ears, and the small movements of the children squeezing each other caused the rustling of clothes to rub against each other.

After ten steps, seven steps, three steps, and fifteen steps to the front, back, left, and right, the end of the stop was four walls.

When the wine glass was put down, the pale golden wine body collided with the wall of the glass, creating small waves. The slight ripples and fluctuations echoed, and an ordinary face reflected on it, slightly broken and deformed.

Tata Tot raised his head and took in the scene in front of his eyes——

The bent elbows and bowed arms, the legs that can only be straightened when sitting sideways, and the mismatch between the table and the body make the two generals seem a bit condescending.

Friend or foe?

Both enemy and friend.

We have enemies and friends in front of us, we have relatives and friends around us, and we all have a meal together.

Although I have overcome many regrets and helplessness, I have reached today without stopping.

But at the moment.

It would be nice if time stood still...

"Kidding."

"What did you say?"

Porusalino asked doubtfully.

Tata Tot smiled and said nothing.

You can see more if you want.

You can do more if you want to.

If...are willing...

"It doesn't matter if it's domineering or a devil fruit."

Aokiji and Kizaru, the two people in front of them are the top natural ability users. However, even so, they still have their own troubles and confusions.

"In this world, the most incredible thing is the encounter between people."

Augsge... Roger... Kuzan... Kurokas... Irene... Ira... Robin... Cyrus... Unu... Katakuri... Oden...

“When we meet and then say goodbye, we can continue to live with joy and gratitude.”

Kella...Dorian...Sebastian...Landon...Hancock...Rayleigh...Slug...Dover...Tiger...Dragon...Erin...Ila …

"In order to see each other again, we will meet each other in life. In order to meet again, we will endure separation."

Turning his head, he glanced at the ignorant little guy next to him with a smile, touched his head, and turned back.

"Cuzanne."

Raising the wine glass in his hand, Tata Tot looked at Aokiji.

"Tata Tot..."

Although there was some confusion in his eyes, Kuzan also picked up the wine glass at hand.

Ding--

After clinking glasses, the two drank it all in one gulp.

"Let's have another drink next time we meet."

The sound of Tata Tot came to my ears, and the chandelier on the ceiling shone a warm yellow light.

The wine glass moved away from his lips, his raised head dropped, and his gaze swept across the ceiling and walls and returned to the original position.

In Kuzan's eyes, a smile escaped from the corners of Tata Tot's lips.

"Be careful on the road."

In an instant, Kuzan disappeared.

……

In that tiny gap at the beginning of the incident, no one realized what was happening.

In the eyes of several little girls, first Aokiji disappeared, and then in the blink of an eye, Kizaru had already appeared behind him.

"Polusalino."

Holding Kuzan's wine glass in his hand and putting a hand on his shoulder, Tata Tot asked without looking back.

"Feel something?"

"It's better to say that I felt it, or that I didn't feel it. If I don't feel anything, I feel something~"

What he said was like a joke.

However, the coldness that invaded his trouser legs combined with the cold sweat that soaked his suit, creating a bone-chilling chill.

"Although it's a bit stupid to ask this, and it sounds like a minor role, but..."

Looking at the calm figure in front of him, a shiver like an electric shock ran down Porusalino's spine.

His right hand unconsciously exerted more force, exerting enough force on Tata Tot's shoulder to turn steel into mud.

"Tata Tot! What on earth did you do?!"

……

Like substance, the entire space was frozen by a pressure that was so heavy that one could not move a finger.

"..."

Karina suddenly realized how wrong she was.

Compared with the current danger, the so-called "tense atmosphere" she felt just now could only be regarded as the spring breeze blowing on her face.

Although she tried her best to see the scene around her, all she could do now was move her eyes slowly...

"Should I say watching from the sidelines, or overlooking it?"

Perhaps the only thing that could reassure her was that Tata Tot's voice still sounded calmly.

"In short, Porusalino, you observed the justice of Kuzan and Sakaski, and finally came up with your own answer, promoting [ambiguous justice] in the navy."

"Hey - can you excuse me for a moment -"

A new light source suddenly appeared in the room.

"We will discuss the issue of justice later. Can you answer my question first?"

The whole room was brightly lit, but the problem was that the increasingly intense light quickly exceeded the lighting requirements.

The strong light dispersed all the colors, and Karina's eyes almost turned completely white.

"Too bright light is bad for children's vision."

A calm voice suddenly sounded again.

"And Ira, eat well and don't always think about solving problems with your fists."

As Tata Tot finished speaking, the dazzling ball of light on his shoulder suddenly shrank and turned into a palm again.

At the same time, the frozen space suddenly thawed, and Karina immediately collapsed on the chair, breathing heavily.

The change in light and dark made the room suddenly look a little dark.

"Huah...huah...huah..."

Leaning her head on the back of the chair motionless, only glancing out of the corner of her eye, Karina could barely see——

Like her, Nami and Nokigao were slumped on their chairs and panting, while Ira was the only one lying on the table eating rice.

"Polusalino, you are one of Zefa's most proud students, but you are also the one who is most at odds with Zefa among all the students."

"You and your justice once maintained the stability and balance of the navy like a neutralizer, but as the times have moved forward, everything has been crumbling."

"Therefore."

With his back to Kizaru, Tata Tot crossed his fingers and continued.

"I think you should think about the problem from another angle."

"..."

Putting down his right hand that was holding Tata Tote's shoulder, Porusalino suddenly relaxed. After adjusting his breathing, he changed to a slightly helpless tone.

"Tata Tot, tell me honestly, my current situation is not very good."

"Don't worry, Porusalino, I guarantee you will receive your retirement salary."

"That would be very troublesome."

Porusalino sighed.

"I haven't finished the tea in my office yet."

As soon as the words left his mouth, he disappeared.

……

Beyond infinite time and space, a landscape is ready for travelers to stop.

"Excuse me, is this the [Service Department]? Oh, this name is so strange."

"The rich give to the poor out of compassion. This is the so-called public welfare. Extending a helping hand to those who are in difficulty is the activity of this association."

"Oh, that sounds amazing. Just right. I have something I want to ask someone about..."

"All members of Dongda University?"

Her expression seemed a bit dissatisfied, but not angry. The dignified and beautiful iceberg beauty opened her thin lips lightly,

"Are you kidding me? Teacher Porusalino from Class F, second year."
