One Piece: Free Ronin

Locks said as he began to handle his prey.

"Boy, aren't you hungry?"

Gugugu~ It’s better not to say it. As soon as he heard this, Flosis’s stomach rumbled.

The hunger that was originally covered up by the surprise and shock caused by the time-travel suddenly emerged uncontrollably.

"Grandpa Rocks, I'm sorry, hahaha, I made you laugh. You seem to be really hungry," Flosis said awkwardly, scratching his head.

"Mou hahaha, your body is still very honest."

Locks smiled and kept working on his hands.

Seeing this, Flosis struggled to stand up, and suddenly felt dizzy, but he still shook his head vigorously, endured the feeling of hunger in his belly, and walked toward the dense forest with frivolous steps.

"Grandpa Rocks, I'm going to pick up some dry firewood."

Looking at his back as he swayed forward, Rocks' eyes flashed and he muttered: "Tao is a sensible little kid" and left Floris to go.

Ten minutes later, Flossis came over struggling to drag a bundle of dry branches, his figure still swaying.

As soon as he arrived at the already extinguished bonfire, Flosis was almost out of strength and was about to fall down. Only then did Locks stand up and support his body that was falling forward.

"Okay, little Flo. Sit down and rest for a while."

Then he took off the water bag from his body and handed it to Flosis. "Now, drink it, there's still some water left."

He quickly took the water bag from Rocks and said thank you. Then he drank water gurglingly. I drank all the water in my skin in one breath, and then I felt alive.

Hand the water bag back to the old man.

Only then did Flosis realize that Rocks had already taken care of the brown bear. He looked at the completely peeled off skin and the large pile of internal organs next to it, and then looked at the still intact and bloody bear. Skeleton, he seemed to see the most delicious food in the world, and his stomach growled again.

"Mou hahaha, kid, take a rest for a while. I'll treat you to a big meal later. It seems you're starving too." As he said this, the old man lit a fire and started grilling the meat slowly.

"Thank you Grandpa Rocks"

Phrosis said weakly.

Then he sat on the side, looking at the meat in the old man's hand, drooling, and his eyes wandering.

The old man ignored him and just roasted the meat in his hands patiently.

Not long after the meat was roasted, the old man handed it to Flosius, "Now, eat it first."

He quickly took it and stuffed it into his mouth without caring about burning it. He bit it hard and swallowed it before he could chew it.

After swallowing the piece of meat in three mouthfuls, Flosis felt as if his whole body had come to life again. Perhaps the beast meat in the world of One Piece contains more energy. After eating this piece of meat, although he still felt a little hungry, But fortunately, I can bear it now, unlike before when I was so hungry that I almost stopped thinking.

Locks was grilling another piece of meat. Watching Flo's movements, the old man smiled and said, "Mou hahaha, you've recovered, little kid Flo."

"Yes, Grandpa Locks, thank you for taking care of me!"

"Then tell me why you appeared here and in such a strange way." The old man asked casually while grilling meat.

"Ah, the merchant ship I was on boarded encountered a shipwreck. I luckily hid in a wine barrel and drifted here before being rescued by you." He asked the question but did not mention the parents of the original owner.

He had already thought about it before, although he merged with the soul of the original owner of the body and accepted a small part of the original owner's memory. But he is still essentially a soul from another world.

"Little Flossis, I will inherit your name and continue to live well, but please allow me to leave behind everything in our past. I want to move forward lightly and not ask about the past." Yunzhuang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. . (To save trouble, the protagonist will be called Flosius from now on! Flo for short)

"Mou hahaha, you unfortunate but lucky kid. I see that your words and deeds are very mature, not what a child of this age should be, but this saves trouble. I have no interest in taking care of an ignorant brat. Mou hahaha," Rocks joked.

"I have been living alone on the island protected by Father Whitebeard. I have taken care of myself. I will never trouble you too much, Grandpa Rocks." Flo stared at the roasted meat in Rocks' hands. He replied vaguely while swallowing his saliva.

Looking at Flo's appearance, Locks shook his head with a smile and handed him the piece of roasted meat in his hand again.

Flo didn't hesitate to take it and put it in her mouth.

"If you want to eat more after eating, just bake it yourself. By the way, who is Whitebeard? Protecting an island? Is he very powerful?" Rocks asked as if he didn't care, and then started grilling the meat for himself.

"Whitebeard is known as the strongest man in the world! Do you think he is powerful?" Flo rolled his eyes at Rocks while chewing, and said vaguely.

"Oh~ The strongest man? Whitebeard? Do you know his name?"

"My full name is Edward Newgate. But people on the island like to call him Daddy Whitebeard. Under his protection, no pirates on Toca Island have ever dared to cause trouble!!" Flo finished his meal. meat, replied very excitedly.

After saying that, he got up and ran to the edge of the beach where the waves could hit, and dug a hole there.

Therefore, he did not notice that when he heard the name Edward Newgate, the expression on Locks's face was stunned and dazed for a moment.

"Edward Newgate." He whispered softly, "The strongest man..."

Then he turned around and saw Flo digging sand. He didn't care what he was going to do and asked directly, "Flo, kid, it seems you still know a lot of things! Tell me about it quickly, I It’s been almost 20 years since I received any news from the outside world. Suddenly I want to know more, Mou hahaha!”

Flo squatted there and dug hard at the sand. He didn't stop until water slowly seeped out from the bottom of the pit.

Hearing Rocks' words, he scratched his head, stood up and walked towards the pile of meat. As he walked, he said, "It is now the year 1504 of the Hainan calendar. It is now called the Great Pirate Age outside. It seems that it was the Pirate King Luo five or six years ago." Jay was caught by the navy, and the world government was going to execute him in the town of Rogue where he was born. But just before he was about to be executed, he announced to the world the one piece of the secret treasure he had discovered, and said He hid it somewhere in the sea. Then the whole sea boiled, and people rushed to the sea to find the treasure he left. Well, this must be the most sensational thing happening outside, right? Oh, by the way! Roger When he was captured, there seemed to be a big pirate named Shiki the Golden Lion who made a big fuss at the Navy Headquarters. Marine Vando seemed to be preparing to save Roger, but was suppressed in the end.”

At this time, Flo already had a few pieces of meat in his hand and was walking towards the newly dug pit that was filled with sea water. He was talking as he walked.

Putting the meat into the sea water, he happily ran back to the fire and said with joy, "Grandpa Rocks, the meat will definitely taste better if it is soaked in sea water and roasted, hahaha."

Only then did he realize that Rocks was staring at the fire in a trance, and he didn't even notice that the meat in his hand was a little burnt.

He stretched out his short hand and pushed Rocks: "Grandpa Rocks, what are you thinking about? You are so absorbed."

At this time, he also realized that this old man named Rocks seemed to be a person with a lot of stories.

Yes, he said that he had been on the island for almost twenty years. That was when Garp, Roger, Whitebeard, and Golden Lion were young legends. It’s not necessarily that he has dealt with those monsters! Maybe he is also a monster with terrifying abilities. Flo thought in hindsight.

"Mou hahaha, Mou hahaha, Mou hahaha!" Rocks laughed loudly. "The era of great pirates? Roger the Pirate King? Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world? Mou hahaha!"

At this time, Rocks was like a wild beast in Flo's eyes, and his cold and domineering aura was exuding unbridled.

Listening to his loud laughter and feeling the energy that seemed to be turning into substance, Flo felt as if the whole world had turned blood red. He was like a small boat drifting in the stormy wind, rising and falling.

At this time, his mind was blank. Perhaps it was because he had merged with the soul of Little Flosis, which made his soul will stronger. This is also the reason why he did not faint immediately... It may also be that His soul was tempered by the unknown power on the way here...

Despite this, he was still very uncomfortable, because being too close to Rocks was equivalent to facing the pressure of that aura.

"Is this the domineering look of a king? What a scary old man..."

After an unknown amount of time, Rocks' laughter stopped. Only then did he come back to his senses. He seemed to have released his domineering aura inadvertently: "Hey, it's interesting, Mou hahaha. Did little devil Flo barely hold on when he faced my pressure? Mou hahaha, that's interesting." Little devil."

Flo shook her head violently, barely supporting her small body with her hands, breathing heavily...

"Mou hahaha, little brat Flo, that's good! He didn't faint to death..." Rocks said as he patted Flo's back hard.

Flo only felt a huge force coming from him, and then he lay down on the beach.

"Do you want to kill me? Oh, bastard Rocks, it hurts, it hurts," Flo struggled to get up, and roared at Rocks with a fierce look.

Flo finally realized at this time that the old man in front of him was indeed a monster, and the aura just now was not something ordinary people could possess.

"Mou hahaha, kid, you still have a temper. I thought you were really just a polite kid." Rocks joked

Seeing Flo's somewhat nervous expression, Locks smiled and said: "Okay, okay, it's just that after twenty years, I suddenly felt a little emotional when I heard the names of some old friends... Mou hahaha! I didn't expect that. I’ll hurt you! But if you are too weak and are stunned by my aura, it’s no wonder that I am stunned, Mou hahaha.”

"Are they just old friends? I feel that the emotions conveyed by the laughter are very complicated. It seems that I have met a great big shot?" Flo thought silently.
