[One Piece] Almighty staff

Garp's boat was badly worn out last time, and after barely being repaired, it walked very slowly. It didn't take a very long way for several days, and finally arrived at Upside Down Mountain before dawn this day.

Liya looked at the water channel flowing upstream to the top of the mountain, and sighed psychologically.

Bogart stood beside her and comforted her: "Lieutenant General Garp will not run away on the way up the mountain this time. Don't worry, Miss Leah. We will reach the East China Sea safely."

From the North Sea, they climbed to the top of the peak along the waterway of the inverted mountain, and then went against the current to go to the East China Sea through the waterway of the East China Sea.

Leah asked Bogart for the note that Lily left a message, to see if there was any clue.She contacted Teacher Zefa once yesterday, but there was still no progress in Lili's trace.

At this point, she can only go to the East China Sea as originally planned.Even if Lili wanted to find her, the first destination should be the East China Sea, and then their home in Marin Fando.Otherwise, they would not resist following the navy.

It was only then that Liya realized that no matter how she concealed it, Lili, a clever little ghost, must still be able to see her rejection and distrust of the world government and the navy.Her emotions had already silently affected Lili's judgment.

Under Zefa's careful teaching, Lili seems to be good at it.Fortunately, her children don't like to be fierce and brave, and Leah has mixed feelings about it.Even if Lili won't take the initiative to cause trouble, he is easily disadvantaged in many ways as a lone child when he is away from home. Liya is especially worried that someone will bully him because of his young age.

When Lili left, he took the big backpack that Liya packed.In addition to daily necessities, it also contained all the liquid funds of Nobio's family, as well as the cash she had accumulated over the years.

To be honest, she did have some plans to temporarily avoid the East China Sea just in case.

If it weren't for the fact that she was underage and her real assets and World Bank accounts were all under surveillance, Leah would have taken at least half of her property in cash.

It is said that wealth is not revealed.But it is impossible for a child to eat and drink without spending money, so she can only hope for Lili's good luck and vigilance.If the money can save him from disaster at the critical moment, it is nothing.

Poor families get rich and spend money to eliminate disasters.It's better to have money on his body than to risk his life for a bite of food.

Lieutenant General Garp was tired from eating supper, so he slept directly on the deck, and even brought little Luffy to sleep soundly on Grandpa's belly without paying attention.Suddenly, there was a loud cry from the child's stomach, and the snot bubble burst with a bang.

Liya picked up the child who had opened his eyes in a daze, and planned to return to the cabin to warm him a cup of milk.Karp still slept soundly, and his grandson was taken away without feeling.

Lu Fei-jun is only about seven months old. When Leah saw him for the first time, she thought the child was born not long ago.

She has a boy in her own family, and has seen many other children in Marlin Fand.With a reference, Leah can be sure that at Luffy's current age, he is indeed too thin, and his weight and length are not up to the standard.Leah would have believed it if Garp hadn't told her that Luffy was only three months old.

Although she has never met, Liya still has a little disagreement with Luffy's parents.No matter how busy the work is, it is not necessary to neglect the children so much.As long as the parents put their heart into it, it is impossible to starve the child into such a pitiful state.

That's right, with Leah's vision and experience as a part-time nurse, she can conclude that the reason why Luffy is not as thin as a normal child is entirely due to malnutrition.In short, hungry.

Probably because they realized their own shortcomings in raising children, so Luffy's parents entrusted Garp, who is a navy.It's a pity that Lieutenant General Garp, who was entrusted, did not have any common sense and skills in raising children, which was very unreliable.

Luffy has been able to grow up to such an age with sound limbs and hunger, and Liya couldn't help but admire the child's tenacious vitality.Perhaps there is also a reason why the genetics are too strong.

Because of the previous disaster of the Upside Down Mountain, Garp's warship can only be described as dilapidated at this stage.

Well, a well-equipped warship sailed out from Marin Vanduo Port, and it fell so badly that it couldn't be seen after only halfway through the journey.Some of the shells remained, but the fort was too damaged, and it was basically just a decoration now.If there were no Kapui masters to sit boldly, any medium-sized pirate ship would be able to blow their warships to pieces.

Leah thought that when Lieutenant General Garp returned to Marin Fando, the scolding of Marshal Warring States would definitely resound in the Marshal Building.

All in all, such a warship doesn't even have children's clothes and milk powder, not to mention snacks and toys.The seven-month-old Mr. Lu Fei, except that he was wrapped in a layer of loose swaddling clothes when he was picked up by Lieutenant General Garp, was really naked and empty-handed.

In this comparison, Lili's infancy can be said to have been quite affluent at least materially.

Karp's rough nerves caused countless crises and troubles to his subordinates. After suffering a lot, Adjutant Bogart took on the important responsibility of replacing the chief's salary and military expenses allocated by the headquarters.

So after a discussion, accompanied by Bogart, Leah bought two changes of clothes for the child.In the store, there are some brands of clothes that Lili used to wear when she was a child. They are soft, strong and elastic, but the price is a little expensive.Leah touched the soft baby hat and glanced at the price tag, but she could only let it go reluctantly.

All the money she brought out was on Lili, and Bogart had limited funds, so he really couldn't afford it.What's more, children's things are fine, and they are always more expensive.

As for powdered milk.The world's productivity is backward and the level of manufacturing is polarized.Remove the highest score and remove the lowest score, and the average level of the rest is very low.Milk powder is considered a luxury item, and Lili can afford to drink it until he is one and a half years old and weaned, which is at least the purchasing power of a small noble family.Liya also weaned Lili because she thought it was too expensive. At first, she thought it was a little early, but after learning about the situation, she was very grateful to Sakaski for his generous wallet.

Now... Leah looked helplessly at Luffy's sallow face, put down the milk powder can and bought a bucket of milk.It is true that children grow up, but a ship of soldiers also has to eat.They still have a way to go back.

Considering that the various leftover soups that Garp fed did not have any adverse effects on Luffy, Leah confidently bought various edible grains.After all, milk has a shelf life, and proper supplementary food must not be able to help Luffy's iron stomach.She will also make the porridge soft enough.

The sky was gloomy, and there was a lot of mist on the sea.After drinking six hundred milliliters of hot milk, Luffy continued to sleep contentedly with hiccups.Leah put him on the bed, using pillows to keep him from rolling over in his sleep.

There are still two hours, and when the sky is bright, they will be ready to go up the Reversing Mountain.The soldiers were ready in the middle of the night, and the only people on the entire warship who were still sound asleep were the grandparents and grandchildren of Monkey D's family.

Looking in the direction where Liya came and went, the visibility on the foggy sea was very low, and she didn't see anything.

Bogart has been guarding the bow of the ship to observe the current. He followed Leah's gaze and glanced back: "The warship that Admiral Sakasky sailed this time seems to be a test product modified by Dr. Vegapunk. It is said that It can pass through the windless belt safely without being noticed by sea kings."

Liya turned her head in surprise: "Is there a windless belt?"

Of course she knew that Vegapunk later came up with the invention of using sea stones to allow warships to safely pass through the calm zone.But in the six years since he came here, the doctor has not carried out relevant experiments. The way for the warships of the Navy Headquarters to travel around the world has always been the inverted mountain.She thought it would be a few more years.

No wonder she didn't see any trace of the Sakasky warship on Garp's ship. No matter how heavy the cruise ship was, it couldn't be dragged slower than Garp's current broken warship.According to what Sakaski said earlier, he wanted to rush back to Marin Fando as soon as possible, and it seemed that he had already taken a shortcut.

Fortunately, she was still a little worried about whether she deliberately delayed the speed because she wanted to avoid her.Sakaski's excuses for not bringing her back to Marin Vendor were that she was not found, escaped, and kidnapped.Considering Lieutenant General He and her own strength, and Sakaski still expects her to continue her career in the navy, the first two options cannot be used, so she can only be "quietly robbed by unknown forces".

The cruise ship of the so-called human traffickers arrested by Sakalski is an important physical evidence. It is equipped with cages and traces of human trafficking. It must be brought back to the headquarters.But there is no sea-rock device on the cruise ship. How can Sakaski drag such a large ship through the calm zone?

Even though she knew that Sakaski was not a reckless personality, Leah was still a little worried that he would be out of breath and let the nobles "accidentally die" quietly.So he couldn't help but frowned, and asked a few more questions tactfully.

Bogart: "Last time I heard General Polusalino mention that the main purpose of this experiment is to deceive the Neptune's sense of sight and smell through sound waves. The range of the sound wave device can be adjusted, and the cost is not high. Sakas General Ji passed it safely once, so it shouldn't matter this time."

Leah was even more disturbed.

This low-cost method obviously failed, otherwise it would not be the turn of Hailoushi, which cost a lot of money later.

It was still early, and at Leah's plea, Bogart fetched Karp's payphone bug, dialed General Sakalski's payphone number, and made a very official call.

Bogart: "Hi, this is Lieutenant General Garp's adjutant."

Liya stood aside, and vaguely heard "Bring it" from the other end. It was a familiar low and hoarse voice, and her heart was half relaxed.

Bogart: "Lieutenant Admiral Garp's warship is seriously worn out, and I'm afraid it needs to be fully repaired this time. I heard that your ship has installed a device that can protect against Sea King attacks. I would like to ask your opinion. If it works, Our lieutenant general also wants to take advantage of this renovation to apply for the installation of one."

Having cleaned up too many messes for Garp, Bogart, who is usually taciturn, is proficient in business, and the reason for using the public phone bug to contact the admiral came out of his mouth.

There was silence for two seconds, and Sakaski's deep voice came over: "It has a certain effect, but it is not stable. Ask Polusalino for the specific situation."

Bogart received Leah's eyes and said nonsense without changing his face: "So did you encounter any trouble when crossing the windless belt? Our lieutenant general is also very worried about your safety."

Leah: "..."

Cap worried about Sakalski's safety?

What is the Navy Headquarters joke of the year.

Sakalski probably felt uncomfortable, and the interval of silence was a little longer this time.When he spoke again, his tone was cold: "There is no trouble. I have safely left the windless belt."

Bogart: "It's fine. I'm sorry to bother you."

Sakaski did not hang up the phone directly, but said: "I have a lot of things recently," which implied in the words, "If there is no major accident, don't contact me casually."

These words are a bit arrogant after being promoted and disrespecting the seniors, but Liya understands that they are meant for her.The translation is: Don't contact me casually if you are not about to die.

Really strict.

Sakalski wiped the blood from his face and stepped on the connecting ladder to board the ship.

The dilapidated warships and cruise ships lost their positions, and the black and red smudged into a long river in the sea, which was clearly marked behind the warships, extending long and wide into the sea area behind them.

There is no wind in the windless zone, and the fog in the morning will be shrouded for a long time, and the dense fog will not be dispelled until the sun rises completely.

The adjutant who had been waiting for a long time in the great waterway quickly counted the number of people as soon as he received the chief, and sent someone to check the situation of the warship before reporting: "General Sakaski, the hull is seriously damaged, and the radar is barely usable. But the bottom of the ship was destroyed. The torn hole is too big, and it will not be possible to fill it up for a while. The boatman said that the ship cannot bear the weight now, and it is recommended to discard some items to reduce the weight."

Sakalski: "Weapons and food transferred to this ship, everything else lost."

Adjutant: "Yes!"

Sakaski looked up at the faint light of the sky that penetrated through the thick fog, put on the coat of a senior admiral sent by the adjutant, and walked steadily to the cockpit at the bow of the ship: "Increase the speed."

------

It was evening when Leah landed, her face was so ugly that she had to find the wheelchair again at Bogart's request.

She didn't eat anything all day today, and the process of climbing upside down mountain in the morning was very rough.Lieutenant General Karp stood on the railing of the bow of the warship and laughed while manually clearing the stones blocking the waterway. The Navigator is basically a display.Even if the warship is about to hit the rock wall, Garp can return the entire ship to the course with his bare hands.

But this is a bit too exciting for Leah on the battered warship.After stumbling over the Upside Down Mountain, and the warship finally started to move forward steadily, let me briefly describe Leah's state: she lay on the side of the railing and retched for half an hour.

Because she presciently didn't eat breakfast, she just retched, but her body, which had recovered a little after resting for a while, was greatly stimulated, and her internal injuries from falling from heights many times had a tendency to recur.Retching and dizziness are among the symptoms.

Although Bogart helped her up in time, Leah still felt uncomfortable everywhere, and even her ankle, which had been bandaged off, was a little dull.

Unfortunately, the smooth sailing did not last long, and the calm sea suddenly blew a strong wind.Garp broke the jar and ordered to move forward at full speed, saying that he must reach the Windmill Village before the warship completely fell apart.

Leah handed Luffy over to a tall and thin lieutenant, and she lay peacefully on the bed in the cabin that slid back and forth, knocking against the wall, and spent ten hours of torment.

Garp's warship had just left the storm zone when he could see the smoke curling from the land.Bogart hurriedly put Luffy next to her, saying that the boat was about to sink and the engine was broken, and he had to order the soldiers to get into the water and push the boat away.

After a rough day on the boat, everyone didn't eat.Luffy was so hungry that he began to gnaw on the bed legs, and the two millet teeth actually made shallow marks on the bed legs.Liya looked at it, and regardless of dizziness, she quickly pulled Luffy off the bed leg and carried him to warm milk.

At sunset, the orange-red light of the sunset glows on the sea, sparkling.The shirtless naval soldiers were bathing in the sea, holding their heads up and chanting slogans as they pushed the crooked and scarred warships to a small coastal village with dozens of smoke billows.

Liya supported the milk bowl that Luffy was holding tightly in his hand, and took a look with her head.Lieutenant General Garp stood on the deck aggressively and loudly encouraged "work harder" and "Have you eaten yet?" The navy headed by the tall and thin lieutenant shouted angrily in the sea, "Who is to blame for this? Lieutenant General Garp also Hurry up and help."

Liya suddenly felt inexplicably, what a beautiful sight.

----

In the middle of the night, Liya woke up hungry, and there was bread and water by the bed.It was prepared for her by the gentle green-haired girl Makino, in case she would wake up hungry at night without dinner.

After sleeping for more than eight hours, Liya felt much better physically.The bed is very soft, and the pillows and quilts have the temperature and clean smell soaked in the sun.

Leah was too tired before going to bed, and she didn't change her clothes when she went to bed, and she always felt a little embarrassed now.

There was an old crib by the window, which Makino dug out and wiped clean for Luffy.At this time, Luffy was sleeping in the crib in a large font size, snoring and blowing out small snot bubbles.

Garp seems to have gone to the largest port of the Goa Kingdom with Bogart after dinner to repair the warship. Bogart told her when he disembarked.

Leah got out of bed first and glanced at Luffy, then slowly finished the water and bread beside the bed.She slept very well this time, and now she basically doesn't feel sleepy, so she just wants to go to the door to breathe fresh air.

Most of the houses in Windmill Village are made of wood, and Liya didn't know whose house she was placed in. She was afraid of waking up others, and opened the door of the room very softly when walking.Fortunately, the wooden door of the room has been well maintained and cleaned. Be careful when opening the door, and there is almost no sound.

The windows in the living room are slightly larger, and the hall is mostly illuminated by moonlight.Liya looked at the heavy wooden door, then turned and walked gently towards the window.

The air is cool at night, with the fragrance of grass and trees, inhaled into the lungs, the whole person is awake.

Leah put her hands on the window sill, leaned against it, and turned her face to meet the black shadow on the left outside the window.

The hairs on Leah's back stood up for a moment, but she quickly held her breath and pressed the panicked cry back into her throat.

The other party was wrapped in a dark green cloak, two-thirds of his face was covered in the shadow of the cloak hat, but due to the bright moonlight tonight, the other party was tall, and Leah could clearly see the faint light in his black pupils. Surprised emotion.

And the red square tattoo that spread out from the shadows and covered the left cheek.

After the characters in the anime are realized, there will inevitably be some subtle local changes, and he looks much younger than the impression, and there are some young people who are active and vigorous.

But the tattoos on the face are too recognizable.

The man seemed to be aware of the flash of understanding in the girl's blue eyes instantly.

He didn't speak.She only reached out her hand from under the cloak, and placed a package on the windowsill beside her.Then turned around to leave.

Liya stopped him: "Don't you take a look?"

He turned half of his face and said, "I've seen it." His voice was hoarse as he hadn't spoken for many days.

As he spoke, the man nodded slightly towards her, then turned his head and disappeared into the shadows beyond the moonlight.

Leah opened the package, and several children's clothes were neatly folded.It was the ones she didn't bother to buy.

"Well... there is really no way."

She smiled slightly: "It's a big deal."
