One Piece Codex

Levi took Lorna to his "treehouse base".

Lorna has been to this area several times, but she has never noticed that there is a wooden house above the ancient trees on the cliff.She looked at everything in the house curiously.

Although the house is small, it is well-equipped and has all the necessary basic furniture.

Moreover, the workmanship of tables, chairs and beds is very fine, and the quilts are also very clean, far beyond what Lorna's house can match.

The girl stood at the door, looking a little overwhelmed.

Levi took out two sets of clothes from under the bed, which he used to change after working out and sweating.It's not silk and satin, nor is it any sportswear, just two sets of ordinary black shirts and jackets.

"Don't just stand there, come here and change your clothes first."

The smell in the garbage mountain was not that good. Both of them smelled rancid. Levi didn't want the house to be filled with this disgusting smell.

Throwing one of the sets to Lorna, Levi went to change his clothes.

He saw Levi taking off his coat, vest, and then pants in front of him.

Lorna's eyes widened.

"You, what are you doing?!"

"Nothing to do, just change clothes."

Levi turned around and glanced at Lorna doubtfully. The other person's words made him a little confused.

[Are you afraid that I might have done something to my clothes?Too cautious...]

Levi, who only thought that Lorna was acting cautiously, expressed his understanding. After all, the other party's living environment was such that it would be difficult to survive without caution.

He thoughtfully handed over the clothes in his hand and said:

"If you are worried, you can wear my suit."

Lorna stared blankly at Levi Chi Jing's upper body for a long time.

"Huh? Oh, no need."

Her neck felt inexplicably hot and she quickly turned her head and said:

"No need, this set is pretty good."

Levi felt a little baffled, "Then why don't you change?"

[Change, change clothes? ! 】

Lorna's eyes widened, and the heat in her neck suddenly reached her ears.

Although the other party doesn’t know that she is actually a girl, so it is understandable to say these things, but she cannot change clothes in front of her!

"I, I'll change it later." She hesitated.

Looking at the other person suspiciously, Levi finally shrugged, "It's up to you."

Since the other party doesn't want to change now, he won't force it.The newly established trust relationship cannot be broken just because of a little mysophobia.

There was a rustling sound...

2 minute later.

"Levi, do you live here alone?"

Lorna walked to the desk and carefully observed the books on the bookcase.

"No, this is just a temporary resting place for me. I live in the city." Levi had already changed his clothes and walked behind Lorna. "If you are literate, I don't mind if you read through these. There are newspapers here."

As he said that, he pointed under the table.

A stack of newspapers rested quietly on the diary.

The diaries are all recorded in Chinese, and he is not afraid of the contents being leaked.Levi was not afraid of losing his diary either.Who wouldn’t make a backup copy of important information while traveling through time?

"Really? I know how to read. Can I really read these books?"

Lorna said happily.

Old Ford once taught her how to read and also took her to read several story collections.Although most of the book talks about the cumbersome daily life of the nobles, it is enough to get Lorna through the boring winter.

Most of the books on the bookshelf are travel notes. Not surprisingly, the contents are much more interesting.

Looking at Lorna who just had the word "desire" written on her face, Levi smiled:

"Of course. If it's convenient, I hope you can help me clean this place while I'm away, just as rent for my temporary stay."

Poor people also have self-esteem, and sometimes they even care more about self-esteem than nobles who like to flatter their superiors and bully their inferiors. They don't want to owe others anything, which is almost stubborn.

Levi felt that Lorna had such a self-esteem, so he asked her to clean the house.

Levi saved Lorna before, and Lorna helped him today. Now they can be said to have nothing to do with each other.If you want the other party to stay willingly, you must not only make the other party feel that you are kind, but also make the other party feel that they owe you something.

After all, the kindness of a temporary safe place cannot be compared to cleaning.

Sure enough, Lorna looked even more grateful.

"Thank you, Levi."

"Small things."

Levi waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"Rona, I have to go back first and come back to you tomorrow."

"Ah."

Looking at Levi's back who left without hesitation, Lorna's eyes flickered and she remained silent for a long time.

【Ruruta Kingdom】

The bloody sun shines on the coast.

On the empty shore, there were hundreds of corpses and countless broken limbs and broken arms lying on the ground.The dark red and scorched blood and gravel solidified together. Under the dim light of dusk, this place seemed to be a burning hell.

In the afterglow, the shadows of the two groups of men and horses stretched out.

Soldiers in armor and some inmates from the Kingdom's prisons were cleaning up the corpses.

The disease rate among pirates who have been sailing for a long time is much higher than that among people living on land.In order to prevent the spread of plague and various diseases, their bodies often need to be filled in pits and cremated.

The reform-through-labor prisoners are responsible for dealing with the pirates, while the soldiers are searching for any tokens they can take back to prove that their colleagues have died in battle.Ears, fingers, or rings, pocket watches...

There were not many intact bodies on the field, and their work would continue for a long time.

"I think I can end my vacation early."

This is the voice of Madhus.

He was in the shade of a coconut grove, surrounded by darkness.

"This is your freedom, sir."

Another voice appeared behind Mads.The tone is slow, it sounds heavy and hoarse, like a piece of gravel rolling in the throat, and it is old but very powerful.

Mads: "Will it affect your plan?"

"Well... there won't be much difference." The voice paused, "But if so, Your Excellency will also be trapped in a despicable whirlpool."

Mads: "At least, it can reduce unnecessary sacrifices."

"Don't be sad, the kingdom is proud of them. No matter how much internal struggle there is, there will never be a single harmful locust on the sea. The battle will be fought sooner or later."

Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Mads sighed and said nothing.

"Matters, you know that before I die, the moth in the kingdom must be removed. Ahem... As a former rear admiral, your Excellency should understand that things within the system can only be handled according to the rules of the system.

Many times, we are either too weak or unable to help ourselves. "

Hearing the word "Navy", Mads looked a little complicated.After a moment of silence, he said:

"It's in the past.

Remember to notify me next time the pirates attack. We can't let these guys continue to do evil.As for using despicable means...I won't give them a chance. "

“Hahahaha!…cough, cough…

Even if you take off the coat of justice, even if you are trapped in a corner, do you still have justice in your heart?Your Majesty the Major General!It’s as reliable as ever! "

The deep voice suddenly became bold and unrestrained.

"Don't worry! I will not put your family in danger. You don't have to worry too much about those who died heroically fighting the pirates.

They are not victims of political struggle.

Wherever their souls go there will be people who love them.

They will have a wonderful reunion there..."

······

Night always falls inadvertently, and the dark sea stretches as far as the eye can see.

shore.

In the pit where the body was thrown, a fire was burning.At this moment, the fire became the only bright light on the sea, and thick smoke billowed out, like a black corridor leading to the sky.They seem to be guiding, guiding the wandering souls on their way home.

Everything is meaningful.
