[One Piece] Almighty staff

It rained suddenly in the middle of the night, and Liya, who had been sleeping soundly, was awakened by a flash of lightning.The room was illuminated for a full ten seconds, and she woke up in the light as bright as day, her heart beating fast.

After a brief silence, a huge thunderstorm resounded over Marin Fando, echoing in the room with turbulent waves.

This lightning strike was earth-shattering, and the night outside the window seemed to be split in half by lightning.Liya's mind was buzzing, and she was startled by the loud sound without any precautions, her heart was beating so fast that she felt the blood rushing straight to her head, Liya buried herself in the quilt, tightly Cover your ears to calm your heartbeat.

She doesn't feel terrible about ordinary thunder and lightning, and she can even enjoy the thunder and lightning on a rainy night at home when she has nothing to do.But this thunder was so big that it seemed to tear the entire sky, she woke up in the dark night, and fell into a huge sense of loneliness and panic as small as dust.

The thunder was very long, and Lia felt in a trance that it seemed that half a century had passed before everything returned to peace.It was only when she could calmly hear the sound of rain falling densely that she slowly loosened the tightly clenched quilt and got out of bed.

Liya was stunned for a while, pressed her chest that was still thumping, turned over and got out of bed, but knelt and sat on the ground with limp legs, the sound of thud was very clear in the room late at night.

Someone knocked on the door twice, and Sakaski's deep voice came in: "Are you all right?"

"..."

Leah wanted to speak, but her voice was temporarily unable to articulate.She pursed her slightly parted lips, and tried to open her mouth again, but only made a few breathy sounds, and the mouth fell away lightly.

Sakaski waited outside the door for a while, and after another lightning and thunder outside the window, he informed the inside: "I'm coming in."

The first thing I saw when I entered the door was the girl sitting on the ground, her brows were slightly frowned, her face was pale in the night, and she looked very uncomfortable.

Liya looked up at him, but before she could smile, Sakalski walked up to her in three steps at a time, picked her up quickly, and put her back on the bed safely.

Marin Vanduo has just entered winter, and the temperature is at the time when it fluctuates the most.It was raining heavily tonight, and the temperature was at least 10 degrees lower than during the day.But Sakarski himself is not very afraid of the cold, and at this moment he found that Lia was cold, and he realized that he should prepare warm clothes and quilts for her.

"…water."

Sakaski came back to his senses, looking down at her leaning on the pillow and looking at him tiredly, her eyes were dim, her voice was low and hoarse, and she repeated very weakly: "I want...to drink water."

He casually tucked in the quilt for her, said to wait, and strode out of the room.

The two rooms are not far apart, on the second floor, the doors are next to each other, and there is only a wall between them.Sakalski's room was closer to the stairs, so as long as Elijah went out, no movement could escape his ears.In fact, even in the room, if Sakalski wanted to inquire, she would not be able to play any tricks in front of his knowledge.

With thunder and lightning tonight, Leah guessed that Sakaski should have woken up early.Such a big wind and rain, even in the cloudy and uncertain new world, is not normal.

Sakaski came over as soon as he heard the noise. He was only wearing a pair of pants, and his upper body was shirtless, revealing a large tattoo of roses and cherry blossoms on his left chest.

Unlike the other party's perception that she was cold all over, Liya almost thought she was hugged by a burning coal when she was hugged.

It was almost snowy, but he had to take off his upper body clothes to sleep.The heat in her chest made her shiver.

In fact, she is still in a state of shock. If possible, she hopes that Sakaski can stay by her side for a while.

But in the middle of the night, a man and a widow are alone in a room, the man is half naked, his muscles are knotted and his waist is fine, and the hormones of young and middle-aged men are overflowing.The embarrassment of Liya, who was also quite thinly dressed, was really hard to contain, so she sent him out immediately, hoping that the man would remember to put on some clothes when he came in next time.

Being alone with Sakalski is stressful for her now, especially in a more confined space.

It was probably in the past two years that she suddenly became afraid of relying on Sakalski...because unlike the deliberate weakness in the past, she really developed a tendency to rely on him.This obviously does not bode well for her.

There are still many gullies that are difficult to fill between her and Sakaski.Those entanglements and confrontations that couldn't tell right from wrong, mixed with her concealment and disguise; the persecution he hadn't explained to her, the complicated attitudes that fluctuate from hot to cold, the true thoughts that he never revealed...these The hard-to-tell the story has accumulated into a bad debt that no one wants to open—at least she doesn't want to.

Thoughts go far away, people are much calmer.Leah sighed, aware of her hypothermia.

As soon as Sakaski left, he took away the heat. After a while, his body, which had just been surrounded by high temperature, began to shiver again.

Leah wondered, is it really that cold?She didn't think it was that exaggerated, but the body's natural physiological response to resist the cold wave would not lie.

She could only wrap the quilt tighter, and Liya turned her head to look out the window.Before going to bed, she only left a two-finger-wide ventilation gap in the window, and the wind can actually blow half of the curtains, allowing the light of thunder and lightning to shine in.

The sound of rain comes and goes, suddenly big and now small, will not stop, only the sound of wind and lightning and thunder build momentum.Leah carefully watched the lightning swimming in the clouds, and slowly frowned.

Since the weather in Marin Vanduo has been recorded, it has always been sunny and peaceful in the beginning of winter.

The weather cannot be manipulated at will, but she still keenly suspects that it is man-made.

The technology tree of One Piece World is as chaotic as a mystery. Although technological artificial rainfall cannot be ruled out, it is more likely that people with devil fruit abilities will cause trouble.

But what kind of ability user can achieve this level... Liya's eyes were calm, but her hands unconsciously pinched the corner of the quilt and rubbed it gently.

Sakalski tossed about for ten minutes, and came back with a cup of warm water and a cup of hot milk.A bathrobe was loosely draped over his body, although his chest was still half-open showing a piece of muscle...but it was better than nothing, it was better than not wearing it at all.

Liya first drank half a glass of warm water to quench her thirst, and held the slightly hot milk glass in her hand.After feeling relieved, he asked Sakaski if he had a thick quilt.

The answer is of course no.

The thickest quilt in the whole house was already on her, and when Sakalski lived alone, he had no chance of using a thick quilt.When Marin Fando was the coldest, he could spend the whole winter on Gaelia's bed alone.

Sakalski brought his quilt over to cover her, and Leah twisted the quilt, which was as thin as a bath towel, sucked at her nose that had started to get clogged at some point, quietly in the dark with her big, bright blue eyes. looking at him.

The Sakasky Tower stood in front of her, and she was at a loss in the silence.

He lives in less than his house.I vaguely remember that a few years ago, there seemed to be a few sparse colleagues living around, but unfortunately none of these colleagues worked in his system, and there was basically no overlap in work.

In life, it can be said that Admiral Akainu has no personal life. Most of his energy is devoted to the great cause of sweeping up pirates and revitalizing the navy, and it is impossible to waste time actively contacting neighbors.

Even if he was asked to go out and find a neighbor who lived nearby to borrow a thick quilt, he didn't know which way to go.

Seeing him standing tall and straight, with a rebellious figure, and falling into a long silence high above, Li Ya knew that she was destined to be sleepless due to the cold tonight.She was abducted temporarily, but she didn't bring a thick change of clothes, she was still wearing a freshly unpacked bathrobe.

She also knows that Sakaski has the attributes of a workaholic, and the residence of an older single man is just a glamorous flower shelf. To live in this house that meets the standards required for the life of General Akainu, it is probably called It's a game of survival.

But taking a young woman like her home, even if it was a temporary idea, still has to bear the basic responsibilities of life, right?

Leah asked him without hope: "What can I do?"

Sakaski turned his head and went out with a cold face.

Liya, who had been working overtime until midnight, felt physically and mentally exhausted, so she didn't stop him, and didn't want to know what he was going to do.Thinking about it carefully, she has basically been taking care of Sakalski in daily life these years, so Sakalski lost some life skills, is it also her responsibility?

She really didn't have the strength to pick anything, so she calmly wrapped two layers of quilts around her body, and decided with a heavy heart that she still had to find a way to let the man regain his bachelor life skills.

It is said that the lazier the parents, the more capable the children will be.In the same way, the lazier Leah can reap the more industrious and capable Sakaski.

And Lilly.

And Drake and Kedoru.

Having said that, at this time she completely forgot the care she received on the Sakasky Admiral.

Not even Sakalski himself, who was used to the constant failures he faced in caring for Leah, didn't remember it.The blankets, beds and tableware specially prepared for her on the warship were purchased after she was found to be uncomfortable and inconvenient.He knew that he was far inferior to her in this respect, so he accepted his failure again with a little regret.

Annoyed and heartburning.

Liya closed her eyes and leaned against the head of the bed to doze off, and her whole body was suddenly wrapped in a warm breath.

Opening his eyes in surprise, Sakaski took the coat and wrapped her up, pressing his chest tightly against her, hugging her tightly.Liya's face was buried on his neck, and when she lowered her eyes, she could see a corner of the rose petals tattooed on the strong shoulder under the collar.

The body that was shivering from the cold immediately became loose, and slowly tensed again.

Liya was a little flustered: "You..."

She was wrapped in the man's wide and hot embrace, the scorching breath was blowing powerfully above her head, her deep voice was hoarse for some reason: "I'll take you back to get your clothes and quilt when the rain stops."

He hugged her and apologized in a low voice, saying that he was not thoughtful.Then let her go slowly and asked if she was warmer

Of course, what he said was to go back to her house, and the reason for putting on clothes for her to keep warm was also very legitimate.There seemed to be nothing wrong, but Liya was holding the corner of the quilt under his gaze, tensely tense.

Liya lowered her eyes and pursed the corners of her lips lightly: "I... feel much better. Mr. General, please go to rest, it will be the same when you go back tomorrow."

Sakaski didn't seem to hear, he reached out and grabbed her hand that was tightly pinching the quilt, and his broad palm covered the back of her hand with protruding finger bones and light blue blood vessels due to excessive force, and gently rubbed it twice.

"Hands are too cold."

The hoarse voice stimulated Lia's nerves, and she analyzed it for a while with a messy mind, before she was sure that the sentence had no special meaning.Only then did the perception return to normal, and he received the slight scratching sensation of the thick calluses scraping the back of his hand.With just such a light movement of his, she actually forced a thin layer of sweat to break out from the palm of her hand.

Sakalski's actions could be called gentle, but Leah felt scared.

Sakalski was never tender, or rather, he never showed an iota of tenderness.It was the first time to see him gentle and considerate with her own eyes, and Leah didn't feel honored.

She tried to pull her hand back, but it was useless.Not only did the man not let go, but he stretched out another palm to her, staring at her.

Liya hesitated for a moment, stretched out her other hand from under the quilt, and obediently put it into the big palm.

Nothing, just a handshake, the same as... years ago, before they heated up.Occasionally, she stepped on his bottom line a little bit, and she would pull his sleeves to admit his mistakes, deliberately getting close and acting coquettishly, and she could always pass the test vaguely.

Thinking of this, Lia watched him put his hands together, and firmly closed her hands in the palm of his hand, but his elbows always maintained a posture ready to be withdrawn at any time, faithfully expressing her inner nervousness. .

The sun-drenched dark skin made her slender and soft palms softer and fairer, as if she had lived the days of a young lady whose fingers did not touch the spring water.

Liya felt a little wronged for no reason. She often had to do housework, not to mention, and also did a lot of clerical work. There were thin calluses on the palms and between the index and middle fingers.It doesn't look obvious, but you can feel it.

The palm of the hand was held for a while, and soon it became hot, and the excess heat spread from the wrist to the upper arm.Liya said several times that it was warm enough, and the man sitting on the ground beside the bed looked up at her indifferently.

There was a flash of lightning outside the window, which sounded very close, and the sound of thunder was deafening, and Liya couldn't help shivering.

Suddenly, a rough and huge finger drilled into the palm of her right hand, and slowly wiped away the warm moisture in her palm.

Leah's eyes widened in disbelief.

He looked at her with strong hints, and rubbed inside and out to explore every palm line on her palm.Finally, he lowered his head and pressed a tight kiss on her fragile tiger's mouth full of tiny blood vessels.

His eyes were still fixed on her, and with the hot lips and breath, Leah felt that she was being watched by a huge and vigorous beast.

"You... bastard," she heard her voice trembling, "let me go."

Sakaski's dark eyes brought a smile: "What are you afraid of?"

He didn't move his lips, met her lingling eyes while speaking, and sucked on her white and soft wrist.

Liya's mind was blank, only under the background sound of lightning and thunder, two bold and black characters popped out from the bottom of her heart:

to finish.

--------

Dorag gnawed on the milk cake for condolences, and looked forward to another patient who came to visit him and pushed the infusion stand: "Why did you come in too?"

Liya was distracted when she heard that her long eyelashes trembled slightly, she raised her eyelids, and glanced at him dully with her big blue eyes: "I have a fever, I'll be fine after losing these two cans."

Dorag looked at the hospital gown on her body, and didn't quite understand: "Then you still need to be hospitalized?"

Liya sighed faintly: "Avoid disaster."

Drago grabbed another pastry that Liya brought him, and said with great interest, "Did you get into trouble? Tell me."

Liya didn't care about him: "You don't understand."

"Speaking of which, what are you?"

No less than Liya who had a fever and a cold, Drago was horrible, his face was so swollen that his mother didn't recognize him, and his body was almost wrapped up like a mummy.The only right hand that was able to move was also splinted.

"Well, it was completely exposed in front of Teacher Zefa." Dorag laughed twice: "Sure enough, I can't beat it, hahaha!"

Drago's actions can be said to "replace the sun and the moon with a new sky", which is essentially a rebellion against Teacher Zefa's old boss, the World Government, and Zefa cannot remain indifferent.

Liya is not very good at hiding things from Zefa, but she will avoid one or two things related to the Revolutionary Army and let Drago solve it by herself.By coincidence, Duorag fell into the eyes of Teacher Zefa, and was regarded by Zefa as a "creative material" for in-depth secondary education, so the two who had no intersection at first achieved a relationship of master and apprentice .

Drago deserves to be the seed of the leader of the revolutionary army who will be regarded as the world's number one criminal in the future. Before Liya said anything, he immediately and keenly realized that Zefa, the thick cornerstone of the navy, was a chance for him to pry it into his hands. The super big corner.

After several years of unremitting efforts and Liya's silent cooperation, Drago successfully made Teacher Zefa deeply feel the great advantages of the new system of the Revolutionary Army compared to the world government's rule, and for the people. Better development.

There are only a handful of pure lands in the world where civilians can live and work in peace and develop peacefully. There are far more people who suffer than those who are stable, so it is easy to show a gap.The slave emancipation factory that Liya single-handedly promoted is already many times better than many countries where the aristocracy is supreme.

What did Mr. Zefa choose? It is the most obvious answer to see that Dorag can lie in the hospital today instead of advancing the city.

Leah couldn't tell what she was feeling.

With her help, the admiral turned to the revolutionary army, the future enemy of the world government... What the world will become, she fears and looks forward to.

Drago turned his head to look at the young woman with pensive eyes.She is no longer suitable to be called a girl, but he often feels that this woman is no different from when he first saw her.

"Thank you for helping me all these years, Leah."

He sincerely thanked her for taking the risk to provide a shelter for the revolutionary army, paving the way for them, a group of desperadoes, to retreat completely.I also thank her for her advice and suggestions, and formulated many military discipline laws and regulations. Before many hidden dangers broke out, they were eliminated invisible because of her anticipated preparations.

Leah understood what he was talking about.

She smiled slightly: "I didn't do anything."

It's just talk on paper.Haiwei's world is out of order, chaotic like a huge ball of yarn pulled by countless hands, normal people would shy away from it just by looking at it, but this man has the courage to put an unheard of system into action and organize it from scratch Yarn's courage, she admired. .seven

She is also grateful for the political four-piece set that she spent a lot of time memorizing by rote. She would like to call these compulsory courses and the military works of great men yyds.
