[One Piece] Almighty staff

"Sakaski--"

The sound of light footsteps outside the door interrupted Sakalski's thoughts in the official documents.

"Sakalski, I'm going out to attend the Spring Festival ceremony of Great Ivan."

When Leah appeared at the door, Sakarski was in a trance for a moment.

If he hadn't seen how she changed with his own eyes, even if he walked face to face on the street, he wouldn't be sure that he would be able to recognize the current Leah.

Black hair and black eyes, petite body, complexion and skin texture are covered with a layer of soft light filter, removing the impact of bright and colorful, and the facial features have obviously changed the ethnic characteristics.

And she looks decidedly more mature.

Because of their racial characteristics, most people of the yellow race look younger and younger, and are often easily confused by other races.But this kind of question doesn't bother Sakalski.

He could tell at a glance that Leah in front of him was about 26 or 27 years old. Because of her soft face, she might be older.

In general, she is completely out of the state of a girl, and no longer has the youthful feeling between a teenager and an adult, and her gestures and gestures reveal the stability and style of a mature woman.

If you remove those looks that he is still familiar with, she has nothing to do with her original appearance.

"How? Go together?"

Sakaski regained his senses and hesitated for a second.

He still has official duties, but he is not so anxious to see the situation.

Liya approached briskly, took away the documents in front of him, and flipped through them with a casual attitude: "Well, there should be no need to worry about the world government for the time being, they don't have time to take care of themselves."

Sakaski frowned: "What do you know?"

It stands to reason that he took the North Sea, defeated the government army, and imprisoned the government army commander. The world government will not let it go. He is already prepared for a stalemate and a face-off between the two sides.But Marin Fando sent a secret letter, and the government did not take any other actions after withdrawing its troops.

More information is still unclear. The only thing that can be confirmed is that the world government is facing something far more important than the North Sea and slave trade organizations.

Leah ignored his question, put the document back on the table, and held Sakalski's palm on the table: "Sakalski, look, none of my shoes fit my feet."

After the body shape changes, the original clothes and shoes are of course no longer suitable.The skirt that fit her was too long, but fortunately, she was plump now, with a slightly tucked waist and sleeves to make do with it.The shoes are really inconvenient, she always stumbles while walking when they are too big.

At this time, she was still wearing indoor slippers.Because it is plush slippers and plush socks, it is light and warm, and looseness has little effect.

"But again, I don't remember where I put my money. Will you go and pay for me?"

The words of pleading, she said in a soft voice, neither the strength of reason, nor the politeness of alienation.It is a kind of intimacy and trust that Sakalski finds rare.

The two hands holding his broad knuckles are not as slender and slender as before, like straight green onions, but are round and slightly fleshy, and the smooth and cool touch is squeezed in his palms, and the fingertips are intertwined, making his heart itchy.

She just wants to go to the streets to join in the fun and buy clothes by the way, there is nothing that cannot be agreed to this request.

Leah put on a thick cloak before going out, and Sakarsky looked at her ruddy face, and his heart sank slightly.

The damage received will not disappear for no reason. For example, the cracked fruit inspired his explosive short-term force, but the old wounds have accumulated, and every time he fights with the enemy is a huge consumption, so the wounds he hides under the skin Healing was very slow and has not healed to this day.

Maybe Liya also guessed something, others can't see it, but he himself clearly knows that the current state is only [-] to [-]% of his usual state.

The cold season in Beihai is long, but even with the warming up in spring, Liya still wears so much, not because she is afraid of the cold, but because her body is protesting.

She's just going to be more vulnerable than usual.

"Sakalski, is it good looking?"

There was a stall selling traditional costumes for the Great Ivan Festival in the market. Leah changed into a red dress with white sleeves and a red bowler hat covered with small pearl lace, and circled lightly in front of him, her black hair and red dress fluttering Get up and swing out to a lively and lively rhythm.

A group of Ivan youths passing by gave out admiration sounds, and even applause and whistle came to this side.

Sakarski was not affected, and reached out to support her waist in advance.The woman's gentle and deep smile fell on his face, Sakaski's mouth was slightly dry, and he took out a cigarette with lowered eyes, and slowly answered her question: "It looks good."

Liya pressed his elbow forward, leaned half her body in his arms, and frowned slightly: "Don't smoke, okay, I will feel bad when I smell the smoke, Sakaski—"

She drew on her voice long and long, and Sakkaski paused, putting away the cigarette case.

She would stagger when she turned around, and he would try his best to accommodate her if he could not make her uncomfortable.

After Liya became an adult, she seldom raised demands with him, so she was often the one who tolerated him more.Sakarski thought this was a good opportunity to find out what she really thought.

The black-haired Leah stood on tiptoe, touched his cheek with a smile, and the warm touch of the soft palm carried an infatuating charm: "So good."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and spun out of his arms, like a butterfly resting on a wild rose for a short time, and flew to more colorful and gorgeous flowers in a blink of an eye.

There was a faint scent on her chest, Sakaski folded his palms together, and followed behind her, keeping a quiet distance not too far away, paying for her shopping, carrying more and more Shopping bags, clearing away the crowds during crowded times, and…

"The aroma of this barbecue is really special, but I can't finish it, Sakalski—"

He opened his mouth to eat the third snack she offered.

…eat what she left over.His heart was subtly agitated, and the natural closeness of the black-haired Leah made him almost have the illusion that they had an intimate relationship.

But she is the black-haired Leah now, and Sakaski also vaguely understands that she doesn't have to be responsible for everything about herself now.And Leah is a person who is not disturbed by other logic at all. Even if he tries to get something by all means, it is just a short-lived and ridiculous illusion like a dream bubble.

He also disdains the consolation of sweet dreams, which are the deception and compromise of the weak to their own incompetence.

"That... first, sir."

Sakaski lowered his eyes coldly, and the shoe shop owner bravely handed him a few shoe boxes: "The black-haired lady who was with you asked you to pay, sincerity is 6000 Berries, do you think?"

It's really going to die, that lady looks so gentle and kind, why is her boyfriend so fierce and cold.

The scene stood still for a second, and felt the air pressure of the guests in front of them getting lower and lower. The warmth of early spring seemed to be abruptly frozen back to the cold season. The guest pushed under the nose.

The lady negotiated the price with him and changed a pair of new shoes on the spot. The customer must not be short of money if he is so well dressed. If he really wants to renege on his debt, his 18 cousins ​​who are doing business in the whole Daji are not jealous. of!

The red-haired, muscular shoe shop owner, as time passed, his kind expression gradually revealed a bit of ferocity.

Sakaski's sharp eyes scraped around several times, but he couldn't even find the black-haired Leah.

The fact that an unarmed woman had disappeared without a trace under the watchful eye of his imposing admiral was like a blow to the head, and it knocked him out of his sanity.

The man's cheeks were tense, and after counting breaths, he threw down two bills: "Where did you go?"

The boss smiled all over his face, quickly found the money and stuffed it into the shoe box and handed it back to the guest: "I'm looking for 4000 Berries for you. The lady said that she wants to go around alone, and she will go back by herself soon. But I just watched It seems to be going in the direction of the campfire square!"

Alas, don't blame the lady, whoever pays is the boss.Besides, it's not natural to leave the boyfriend who is carrying a lot of things hard at the market and run to play by himself.

Because of the brutal governance methods of Ivan the Great, the security of the larger cities of Ivan the Great was pretty good.However, this year’s policy of recalling Beihai people not only attracted young and strong Beihai people who should be recalled back to the country, but also attracted many people from other countries, good and bad. Large-scale festivals such as the Spring Festival Ceremony, which is celebrated by the whole country, attract people to form spontaneously. Well-meaning guy.

The black-haired woman with a soft face and charming temperament shuttled alone in the crowded market, and was easily targeted by vicious gangs.

The boss of the gang was about to approach, but saw a woman suddenly reached out and grabbed the sleeve of a young man.

"What, it's not alone."

The boss squinted his eyes: "Don't worry, just follow along."

The captured young man was really too young. Although his expression was indifferent and mature, and he was tall, his figure was still thin, and his facial features hadn't lost the youthful arc.

They are all black hair, probably siblings.There is nothing to worry about a delicate woman and a boy with no hair.

Lu Qi stood there expressionlessly.

The black-haired Leah smiled and said, "Last time you ran in a hurry and didn't have time to say hello to you. So you haven't left Beihai yet, Lu Qi."

Lu Qi stared stiffly at the black-haired woman with a familiar tone in front of him, momentarily speechless.

Being approached silently, it's fine if she's an ordinary woman with no special abilities at all. What's even more concerning is, who is this person whom he obviously doesn't know but feels very familiar with...

"...Nobio Leah?"

The black-haired Leah frowned thinly: "Why do you have to call other people's full names? It's really unpleasant to hear."

Lu Qi rarely felt at a loss and covered his forehead: "I'm sorry... I... Altis did it, right? Just wait, I'll bring him back first..."

He just sent Altiste to Reversing Mountain yesterday to be picked up by the government. If he had known about Leah's situation, he would have found a way to let Altiste take care of it before sending him away.But according to his pace, there is still time to chase him now.

The black-haired Leah grabbed his sleeve and didn't let go: "No need, there's no rush. Lu Qi, it seems that the market has sneaked into the traffickers and has been watching me all the way."

She pointed in a certain direction: "At first, I wanted to go directly to the official patrol team of the market, but I just ran into you."

The teenager in a suit and leather shoes shook his head, pulled away from the chaos, and pressed her on the chair at the roadside stall: "I'll deal with it, just wait for me a moment."

After the big organization was defeated, it hid for several months, and finally sneaked into Ivan's group of five human traffickers. Ivan is in prison.

When returning the same way, the black-haired Leah was borrowing the phone bug from the stall owner, her gentle smile showing casual indifference.

"It's okay, just do this. Don't drive the cargo ship on the mine island, discuss it with the turtle, and give him three times the overtime pay."

After hanging up the phone, the black-haired Leah praised him in surprise: "It's so fast and efficient, Mr. Lu Qi."

She ordered two grilled cheese sticks before, and they just delivered them at this time: "Try it quickly, your vodka-flavored one is twice as expensive as mine."

The little change in her hand was given to her by the boss when Sakaski paid for her bill, and she didn't feel bad if she didn't spend it all at once.

Lu Qi sat down opposite her silently, hiding many questions in his heart.

The food was very suitable, and he and she sat in the bustling market with people coming and going, enjoying the short and innocent time together after a long absence.

"Lia, you," he stared at her black hair hanging on the table, and took the lead to break the calm: "Are you doing something against the world government?"

This question, which had been hidden for a long time but could not be asked, was suddenly easy to say in the face of the more casual-looking black-haired Leah.

"Humph..." The black-haired Leah's voice didn't fluctuate, and she seemed to be thinking for a while before she calmly replied: "Is it an enemy of the world government? It doesn't count, I can only say that what I do is more in line with ordinary people interests, thus posing a ruling threat in the eyes of Shizheng... It should be said so.”

After eating the cheese stick, he knocked on the small porcelain plate in front of him, which was very inconsistent with the dining etiquette that Leah used to emphasize before: "Why are you so nervous, don't lower your head, look up at me, Lu Qi."

Time seems to have suddenly gone back to the Chambord Islands a few years ago. Two teenagers and girls who avoided the pursuit of Tianlong bodyguards walked on the bustling avenue of the commercial street, pretending to be young couples traveling normally—"Don't look at the front Now, look down at me."

Lu Qi was in a trance for a moment, the immature and beautiful face at that time was not the same as her current charming and soft face, but they blended perfectly.

He only recalled it for a second, and his expression was slightly dignified again.

The black-haired Leah seemed to see through his thoughts, and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, being hostile by the world government is just a difficulty I will face in the process of achieving my goal, and there is already a solution. Just follow your own track , don’t need to worry about anything.”

He glanced at her: "Don't treat me like a child, Leah."

It is not her goal to be an enemy of the world government, and she does not even put the hostility of the world government in the most important position.For the owners of two small islands, this kind of speech seemed too arrogant, but Lu Qi did not question its weight.

"It's hard to be funny when you grow up, it really makes my sister sad~" the black-haired Liya Xizi held her heart.

Lu Qi's face was full of black lines, and he was faintly ashamed: "Stop making trouble, and call yourself something on your own."

"I've got to go to the newspaper next, and then I'm going back to the Navy base. Will you drop me off?"

"I see."

"Can you turn it into a leopard to send it off? I haven't seen Lu Qi in leopard form for a long time."

"Don't go too far."

"But, I've been feeling really bad these days."

"Am I some sick comfort candy?"

"Then please, Lu Qi~"

"...you don't talk to me anymore."

--------

The black-haired Leah didn't expect that she and Sakaski would meet at the gate of the base.One just returned from the outside, and the other went out from the inside.

Getting off Lu Qi's back in leopard form, she didn't feel ashamed to touch Lu Qi's snow-white and soft chest in front of the two of them.

The two males had an aggressive aura, and the little adjutant passing by had a sinister look on his face, and decisively changed his way around.

In terms of strength, the young Leopard is still far behind. The two units are not facing each other, and it is an away game. Lu Qi has no intention of embarrassing Leah, so the tit-for-tat situation lasted for a short time. After saying goodbye to Leah, he ignored General Akainu The unfriendly gaze simply left.

Facing the changed and aggravated aura alone, the black-haired Leah raised her head apologetically and looked at Sakaski with gentle eyes: "I'm sorry, Sakaski, I wanted to come back earlier , made you worry?"

Sakaski felt that his anger was being suppressed abruptly, forming another strong sense of oppression that he didn't know where to vent.

He took a deep breath and said with a cold expression, "You suddenly disappeared, did that guy help you?"

The black-haired Leah blinked and looked at him: "Ah, that's not the case. I didn't leave suddenly to meet Lu Qi."

"I met Lu Qi on the way. He is faster. Please ask him to accompany me to do some things."

"But he doesn't know what I'm doing, he's just responsible for escorting me, Sakaski, don't be jealous~"

She smiled, and gently stroked his chest, as if smoothing the fur of a bad-tempered puppy.

As the black-haired Leah spoke, she slowly moved closer to his chest, and Sakasky's anger almost disappeared.

He took away her hand on his chest, and locked the two white wrists in his palms gently: "What are you going to do?"

Liya suddenly tilted her face to his chest, obviously she was acting coquettishly trying to get away with it, but she didn't shy away from her answer: "I just didn't want to let Sakalski know, so I left you and acted alone. "

Sakaski looked down at her upright little face, softened his expression uncontrollably, and softened his hoarse voice: "I can guess something if you don't tell me. Marin Fando called me, you use In the name of the navy, have you sent food seeds to more than a dozen countries and forces?"

The black-haired Leah smiled: "Most of them are forces in the North Sea. Isn't Sakaski trying to expand his power in the North Sea as soon as possible?"

Sakaski was clear-headed: "The government's retreat is also your handwriting."

The black-haired Leah didn't change her expression: "Guess."

Sakaski let go of her hand: "So capable."

The black-haired Leah didn't retreat, and put her arms around the man's muscular neck: "However, Sakaski won't be angry with me for such a trivial matter."

Sakaski: "If you want the navy to be hostile to the world government, you can't see that I have a stable cooperation with Ivan, right?"

The black-haired Leah looked at him aggrievedly: "But, grain is very expensive, and Leah has no money now."

Sakaski seemed to be amused, and snorted: "I still have to pay you?"

Brunette Leah: "Great reputation, Sakalski and the Navy."

Sakaski: "Hmph, the risks and pressures have doubled as you wished, haven't you?"

The words that were originally intended to be harsh and accountable, flowed out of his mouth, but turned into a flirtatious and gentle sentiment.

Maybe it was because he was too tight-lipped, the black-haired Leah limply forward on him, and Sakarsky reached out to hold her waist.

The black-haired Leah said sadly: "Leah has no money, so she has to drag her delicate and sick body out to make money."

Sakaski silently stared at the top of her hanging head with complicated eyes, and said after a while, "How much?"

Not to mention the current Leah, it is impossible for Leah with a complete personality to obediently obey his arrangements.But since she intervened without authorization, stirred up the situation, and asked him for resources, then he can completely acquiesce in surrender.

The black-haired Leah looked at him with a little surprise, as if she didn't expect him to let go so easily: "Such a heroic style, it's a little closer to the passing line."

The red dog's sharp radar responds in time: "What pass line?"

The black-haired Leah took it for granted: "Get married, haven't you proposed to Leah several times?"

She touched his face again, smiling and wanting to back away easily.

Sakasky grabbed her waist, his face darkened: "Did you have some special ability awakened by the cracked fruit?"

Black-haired Leah: "Hey, did you just find out? Indeed, my affinity seems to be higher."

Sakaski's indifferent face: "Rather than affinity, it is more in line with charm."

The black-haired Liya was stunned for a moment, and she smiled coldly: "I don't need that kind of thing to deal with you."

She suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed his chin, her soft and warm lips pressed against him and let out a hot breath: "I've said such shameless things as a marriage proposal several times, but you dare not even admit that you like it?"

Startled, he let go of his hand.The black-haired Leah was like a gust of wind, gently brushing against his chest, leaving without hesitation.

She yawned, and went straight to the bedroom without any waves.

I also found out that in addition to stripping out Leah's memory and emotion, she seems to be more indifferent and difficult to be moved at this stage.

Well, no wonder I feel so relaxed, it's hard for a heartless person to be unhappy.

Sakaski's voice came from behind abruptly: "How many points."

The black-haired Leah didn't turn her head back: "Well, although I'm a coward, I get extra points for being generous in paying. Now it's about... 28 points."

She turned a corner briskly, her skirt skirted the corner, leaving behind Sakaski who didn't know how she was feeling, and ignored Lili who was silently squatting in the corner waiting for her sister.

Lili hugged her black and beautiful little curly hair that was just swept by the skirt in confusion: "Li, Liya...?":
