One Piece: Heart Set Sail

Along the way, because it was confirmed that Karis was indeed the grandson raised by the Warring States Marshal, the entire navy on the warship took great care of him and Xue.

"Two children, if you want to eat anything, please tell us." The colonel arranged them into a comfortable room.

"Thank you." Karis said and closed the door.

Xue sat on a soft chair, eating special shortbread: "How long will it take us to arrive?"

"It's going to take several days anyway, so you should have a good rest during this time." Karis lay down on the recliner comfortably: "By the way, you don't have any relatives anyway, so I will be your brother and I will protect you! "

"Really or not? I think you and I are on par with each other." Xue felt a little disgusted.

"What I said is true! You can call me brother from now on!"

Xue spread her hands and said, "Okay, okay, I only know you now."

The sun was shining brightly at noon, and soon the two of them fell asleep lazily.Karis had a dream. Sometimes it was his mother bringing freshly made hot soup, calling him to eat while he was training, and sometimes it was his father, a tall and majestic figure whom he had never met before, saying words of encouragement to him. Sometimes it was his grandpa who scolded him when he made trouble or made mistakes. He would laugh sometimes and frown at other times.

The night before they arrived at Marinefando, the two of them didn't forget to sort out their plans, and Karis was still very careful.

"What are we going to do when we get to the headquarters?"

Karis has already thought about it: "Of course it will be from Mary Joa through the Red Continent. As far as I know, the World Conference will be held soon, and this is the first World Conference since the new king ascended the throne, Grandpa Grandma Crane and they will all go, so we will go with them and take the opportunity to sneak into the new world.”

"Is it feasible for us to do this? It sounds very nervous." Snow had heard that Mariejoia is a world holy land, and only the supreme rulers of the world government and the Celestial Dragons live there.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

Xue had been following Karis for the past two days and had not had a good rest. Now that she could relax, she fell asleep.

The next day, the warship arrived at Marineland. It was the first time for Snow to come to such a far place. Apart from Karis, she knew no one else, so she followed Karis quietly, fearing that she would be When the man discovered that he was a pirate, he wore a hat and tied his blond hair up so that he would not be so conspicuous.

The person who came to pick up Karis at the port was his grandfather, Marshal of the Warring States Period. This man was strange to say. He wore a pair of frog-rimmed glasses and his long beard had turned into braids. Xue couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

"Karis, you're finally back!" As soon as Warring States saw his grandson, he took him into his arms: "I'm worried to death. How could you go so far away to the North Sea alone?! You know How dangerous is it out there?!"

"I'm also looking for someone."

"Who do you have to go to Beihai to find?" Warring States looked serious. He was such a baby now, how could he not be worried.

"Well..." Karis said as if it was inconvenient: "I'll tell you when I find it. Hey, why didn't I see Grandma He?"

"The World Conference is very busy. She has gone to the Holy Land. Just come back." Warring States saw Xue next to him and asked: "This is it?"

Only then did Karis remember: "Oh, by the way, this is my friend! Her name is Xiaoxue. Because she was helpless, I asked her to come back with me, and I already recognized her. Be my sister! I am very upright and will not leave her alone."

"Okay, okay, it's up to you. You guys go back with me first." Seeing that Karis was safe and sound, Warring States finally felt relieved.

In the next few months, Xue almost stayed behind closed doors and was surrounded by naval forces. If one of them was accidentally exposed, no one knew what would happen.

Karis felt that Snow was too boring like this, so he found drawing paper and colored pens and said he wanted to teach her to draw.

"Xiaoxue, have you ever painted before?"

"No." Xue watched Karis playing with the painting tools, but she didn't know how to use them at all.

"Let me teach you, um... let's draw the sun today!" Karis clamped a piece of drawing paper on the drawing board with a clip, and Xue followed him and followed suit.

Xue took the paintbrush seriously, dipped it in golden paint and applied it on the paper: "Brother Karis, did you learn to paint by yourself?"

"No, it was my mother who taught me." Karis was drawing while recalling the time when his mother was still alive and taught him how to draw step by step.

----------

"Mom! I want to draw Dad!" Karis stuck to his mother's arms and opened his pocket watch. There was a photo of his deceased father: "Dad looks really handsome."

"Okay, let's draw slowly." She held Caris's little hand and copied an outline on the drawing paper bit by bit.

"Ellie, are you painting with Karis again?" Warring States didn't find their mother and son in the living room, so he came to the balcony on the second floor: "As expected."

"Grandpa!" Karis hugged Warring States happily.

Yili took off the apron she wore when painting and put it on a stand nearby: "Marshal of the Warring States Period, are you done with your work?"

"Yes, so I have time to come and see you." Warring States hugged the little guy, feeling that he had grown taller again: "Go ahead and play first."

"Ok!"

Watching Karis run into the small garden downstairs, Warring States looked at the gentle Ellie again: "Are you feeling better?"

Yili shook her head and coughed twice: "I know I may not have much time left, Marshal of the Warring States Period."

"..." Yili's body is indeed getting weaker and weaker, and Karis is still young, and Warring States is also worried about this.

"It's okay, Marshal. When I leave, Karis will leave it to you." Ellie's loving eyes fell on Karis who was playing in the garden: "The only thing I can't worry about is him. Rosie and I The only child."

"Even if you don't say it, I will do it, Yi Li, Xiaomi is really happy to marry you, but this bastard, I'm so sorry for you..." Warring States burst into tears as he spoke.

Yili's eyes were red: "Although I am very angry that he left us, I know this was his choice."

Not long after, Ellie abandoned Karis. When she had her last few days left to live, she went to Mignon Island and committed suicide by taking poison in front of the grave of her beloved.

Karis burst into tears when he got the news. Since his mother's death, he has become even more disobedient to discipline. He won't listen to anyone's words and will get into trouble every now and then. The Warring States Period has nothing to do with him other than punishing him by locking him in a small dark room.

----------

"Brother? Brother Karis?" Xue patted the stunned man: "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

"It's okay, I just miss my mother. She used to teach me how to draw." Karis wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes: "I don't want to cry, I am a man."

"Well, you're a man."

Soon, it was just a few days before the World Conference was about to kick off.

"Brother, how long until the World Conference?"

"It's only been the past two days. I'm going to find Grandma He now and ask her to take us to Mariejoia." Karis put on his coat and said, "Wait until I come back."

"it is good."

Karis came to He's office, sneaking around so as not to be discovered by Warring States, which made people laugh and cry.

He sat at his desk and asked Karis with a smile: "What bad idea are you hiding from Sengoku again?"

"I...I'm here to ask Grandma Crane, please take me and my friends to the Holy Land, Marie Joa." After Karis organized the conversation for a long time, he bowed formally.

"Oh? Then why don't you go tell your grandpa about this?" He looked at this little guy who never made people worry.

"If I tell grandpa, he will definitely not agree to my going. Please, Grandma He, just take us there!"

"I think it's better for you to stay in Marineland. The World Conference will be very busy by then and I won't be able to spare time to take care of you two little guys."

Karis pouted and glanced here and there, as if he was aggrieved. At this moment, his eyes lit up and he saw a photo, which was placed on Lieutenant General He's desk.He immediately ran over and picked it up. On it were his parents and a woman with long black hair wearing a silver flamingo pendant on her chest.

"Grandma He, are those above here my parents?"

He glanced at it and sighed: "Well, not bad."

He asked again: "Then, who is the other aunt?"

He smiled and said, "She is my adopted daughter, Xiaokui."

Karis focused his attention on the photo again. In order to know the cause of his father's death and why he left himself and his mother, he once read his mother's diary, and the name Xiaokui was mentioned in it, so he secretly took a ride The warship went to Beihai to find Luo and Xiaokui who were written in the diary.

"Grandma He, where is Auntie Xiaokui now?" Karis asked impatiently.

"Are you interested, Karis?"

"Well, I learned from my mother that they were very good friends, so I wanted to know."

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if I tell you. I gave her the name Xiaokui when she lost her memory. Now I am the only person in the world who still calls her Xiaokui. Her real name is Selvia· Xia Lu is the new king who took office before Marie Joa."

"Oh my god..." Karis was completely stunned: "Then, she is really incredible."

"But he is also a miserable child." He said that he felt a little distressed here.

"Tch, am I pitiful? I have never met my father, and my mother is still..." Karis felt that he was very unhappy because he could not have a complete family. Such a childhood was not easy at all.

He said with a hint of meaning: "If you are more pitiful, you are not the most pitiful. Xiaokui has a daughter, who is considered your sister. Her whereabouts have been unknown since the day she was born. She has not been found yet. There is no relative of that child. Around you, maybe you are still in a corner of Beihai now, but in comparison, you are living a good life."

"Sister? She's also my father's daughter, right? I won't accept it!" This was the first thing Karis thought of.

He laughed out loud: "Don't worry, Lieutenant Colonel Rosinandi is a very dedicated man."

"That's good." Caris patted his chest: "What's her name?"

"Xiao Kui gave her a nice name, O'Jesia."

"..." Karis stopped talking. He actually had a sister like this who was in a worse situation than himself.

"Karis, if you still insist on going to Mariejoia, I can't agree to it, but you have to promise that you won't cause trouble before the meeting." After noticing that Karis was silent, He changed the topic. , put his hand on Karis's head.

"I promise! I won't cause trouble!"

Karis found that the person he was looking for was in the Holy Land. He originally couldn't wait to see him, but now he didn't know what to say.He and Xue had already packed their things, because Lieutenant General He was about to leave.

"Xiaoxue, I found that person, but I don't know how to ask her." Karis was very confused: "About the cause of my father's death and why he went to accompany other children."

Xue stayed by her side and looked at Karis sadly: "Whatever you want to ask, just ask her. What's there to worry about?"

"But, that man is now the king of Mariejoia and the supreme leader of the world's nobility. I really don't know how to ask."

"Ah, such a powerful person..."

In the end, Karis decided to go to the new world with Xue first and wait for her companions. Anyway, the king of the Holy Land was always there and would not run away. It didn't matter if he asked later.

The two quickly boarded the warship, and before leaving, they made a phone call to Warring States to report that they were safe.

"Karis, and your friends, since you have set off with me now, I have the responsibility to keep an eye on you. When we arrive at the Holy Land, I will make arrangements for you, and then I have other things to do, so you have to settle down One point, do you understand?" He asked seriously.

Karis and Snow looked at each other and nodded.He immediately dialed the phone and said, "Xiao Kui."

A nice voice came from the other side of the phone: "Aunt He, what's wrong?"

Karis was stunned. It turned out that Lieutenant General He was talking to Xia Lu. When Xue heard the voice on the phone, she felt very friendly for some reason.

"I have two little guys here. They are clamoring to come to the Holy Land. I have to go to the New World later, so I thought I would leave them at your place first." He said.

"Who is he? Aunt He, you actually called and said it yourself."

"Karis and his friends."

"Really?! No problem, come on." The tone was filled with joy: "I'm looking forward to it."

"it is good."

So, Crane hung up the phone.Karis was fascinated. The person on the other side of the phone was really the king of the world's nobility. However, he didn't sound as murderous as he imagined. However, it might be because the person on the call was Lieutenant General He. After all, he was Lieutenant General He. 's adopted daughter.

Xue still restrained herself from speaking along the way, except when Karis spoke to her, she would occasionally respond.This situation lasted until she arrived at Mariejoia, where it was relatively cold due to the high altitude, so she put on a thick coat and a small hat to hide her blond hair.It was the first time she saw such a magnificent building. Compared with the one over the North Sea, it was on two different levels, one in the sky and one on the ground. It turned out that this was the Holy Land of the World, Marie Joa.

The two maids had been waiting there for a long time. The Holy Land was busy with affairs, so they only sent two people to pick up Karis and Snow. After seeing that the two were picked up safely, Tsurushi safely set sail to Dresrosa to pick them up.

"Brother Karis, how should we go?" Xue asked quietly.

"Don't worry, I have a way." Karis looked around for a while, confirmed that the crane was gone, and then discussed a strategy with Xue: "Deceive one of them, and then we can easily escape. What should I do?" , just do whatever you want.”

"Ok!"

Later, Caris dismissed one of the maids on the pretext of letting her go buy ice cream, while the other one was miserable. The two of them picked up wooden sticks from the grass in tacit agreement and beat the remaining maid to pieces. Then he ran to the other side of the Red Earth Continent at full speed.
