【One Piece】Red-haired Lysia

"001" The storm is rising

The sun is scorching the calm East China Sea. Today is a long-awaited good weather for Rogge Town. There are no clouds in the sky and the sun is shining brightly. It is very suitable for going to the sea.

"So Luffy will be here today?"

Lysia lay glumly on a table set up outside the dessert shop, looking at the occasional floating clouds and a few passing birds in the sky, wailing silently.

It has been almost a month since she "skid work" from Marine Headquarters in order to practice for her playmate Luffy's overseas trip.

What's troublesome is that Lesiya came to the East China Sea from the Grand Line fifteen days ago. She started looking for the East China Sea from Windmill Village one by one, counting down to thirteen towns, but she couldn't find the road at all. Traces of flying.

Lysia was not worried at all that Luffy had not sailed, after all, that guy was a man of his word.

So the problem lies with Lesiya, so in order to avoid missing Luffy again, she chose to go directly to Rogge Town, which she must pass through before entering the Grand Line in the East China Sea.

And based on Lysia's understanding of Luffy, if that guy knew that Roger Town was the town where Roger was executed, he would definitely come and want to see the scenery that the Pirate King had seen.

This is already the fourteenth day she has been staying in Rogge Town, and it is also the sixth day she has stayed at the naval camp stationed in Rogge Town with the high-sounding reason of "incognito private visit".

In fact, she didn't want to reveal her whereabouts, but she had no choice...

"Lieutenant General Lysia, you are here."

Dasqi ran over with a look of surprise on her face, but because of Lysia's order to "keep quiet", she had to lower her voice.

Lysia lazily raised her eyes to look at the sergeant who had recognized her, which was why her actions had to be exposed under the eyes of the navy stationed in Rogge Town, with a very frustrated look on her face.

"Oh, it's Sergeant Daschi."

"You still remember me!"

Lesiya twitched the corner of her mouth, and then sighed. After all, she couldn't be blamed for this. If she was, it was because Sergeant Dasqi seemed to be her "fanatic fan".

He was recognized as soon as he met her for the first time, and he said excitedly, "You are the legendary red-haired Lady Lysia"...

Well, actually she is quite happy to have fans.

"Dasi Qi, are there any pirates landing in Rogge Town today?"

Lysia took a sip of the cold strawberry juice, a blush appeared on her face, and she looked particularly satisfied.

Drink it well! !

Upon hearing this, Dasqi immediately performed a standard naval salute and said without blinking: "Report to the Lieutenant General, there is no one at the moment!"

Lysia was stunned by Dasqi's standard "reporting work" posture, and then said with great disgust: "Hey, hey, I just want to ask you, why are you so serious."

That’s why she hates having subordinates!

As the most willful Vice Admiral and Associate Admiral in the Navy Headquarters, Lesiya does not need her subordinates at all to go on missions. Of course, it is her own request. Because she felt from beginning to end that there were only three people who could cooperate well with her - Luffy, Ace and Helena.

So a head of dazzling red hair, a lonely wooden boat and a "evil-eliminating" cloak have become Lesiya's standard features.

(Note: The cloak of "Destroying Evil" was actually "Justice", but it was changed by Lysia without permission.)

"I'm sorry...I couldn't help but..." Dasqi dazedly touched the back of his head.

Lysia waved her hand indifferently and took another sip of strawberry juice, "It seems that Smog squeezed you a lot."

"Ah, Lieutenant General Lesiya! This is impossible! Colonel Smogg is completely unintentional..."

"Ah, okay!" Lysia interrupted her, "You are an extremely serious person."

"Is this a compliment?"

Seeing Dasqi's look of begging for praise, Lesiya raised her forehead and said, "That's right."

Looking at Dusqi's expression as if she had received a huge reward, Lesiya suddenly felt that she was quite cute, and took a few more sips of strawberry juice. Until the bright red liquid bottomed out, Lesiya stood up and stretched out. Lazy back.

"What are you looking for for me?" Lesiya asked, "Isn't it the guy Smog who is looking for me?"

"Ah, no." Dasqi pushed up his glasses and put on a more serious expression, "The phone bug at the headquarters requires you to return to Malinfando within a month to accept a new mission."

Lysia's smiling face suddenly fell. Shouldn't she first thank the old man from Sengoku for not exposing her?

"knew…"

Lysia walked aimlessly along the street, and the occasional gust of wind blowing from the sea was very refreshing.

Although Sengoku did not expose himself, this month was equivalent to an ultimatum. It was not a long journey from the East China Sea to Marineland, but at Lezea's speed, it would take at least seven days.

But judging from the current situation...

Lysia looked sideways, looking at the sea that was vaguely visible in the streets, sighed slightly, and murmured: "Come on, Luffy, I'm so anxious for the wait."

"Luffy?!"

Dasqi on the side suddenly became extremely excited after hearing Lesiya's words, which actually startled Lesiya.

"Are you talking about Monkey D. Luffy, the super-powerful new pirate from the East China Sea?" Daschi said with a look of admiration, "I knew Lieutenant General Lysia would not be in Rogue Town so purposelessly. After staying for so long, it turns out that the headquarters has already received his reward order, and as expected of you, you actually thought of coming to Rogge Town to stay here!"

"No..." Actually no.

Lysia was speechless and didn't say anything in the end. It would be a good thing if the misunderstanding continued like this.

"Dasqi, I want to go shopping by myself. You should go back first."

"But……"

Seeing the hesitation on Dusqi's face, Lesiya said firmly: "This is an order!"

"Yes! Lieutenant General Lysia!"

Looking at Dusqi's retreating figure, Lesiya secretly rejoiced, whistling and strolling through the peaceful Rogge Town.

If it's only a month, it should be enough time to accompany Luffy into the Grand Line, Lysea thought. This is not bad, but I don’t know if Luffy will blame me...

Before she could think any more, when passing by an alley, Lesiya suddenly saw an extremely familiar figure. The man glanced at her, and then suddenly hid in the corner.

Lesiya was startled and looked around at the plain-clothes navy who was secretly following her. This was all arranged by that guy Smog. He must have listened to the orders from above.

After wasting some time to get rid of a bunch of followers, Lesiya chased into the corner where the man disappeared just now.

"Uncle Long, it's really you!" Lesiya's face was filled with surprise, and she was even more excited than Dasqi when she saw her.

Long smiled in the shadow, then took half a step out and nodded slightly.

"What are you doing here? The navy stationed here is a very troublesome guy." Lesiya couldn't stop complaining when she saw an acquaintance, "You also saw the group of people following me just now, all arranged by him. It's really Yes, I am his superior, and he dares to do this to me."

"Hahahaha, Xiaoya is as energetic as ever." Long raised his hand and rubbed the top of Lesiya's hair, "Are you here to see Luffy?"

"Yes, Uncle Long too?"

Long smiled and said nothing, leaving Lesiya confused.

"Ok?"

Long raised his head and glanced at the clear sky in Rogge Town, and after a long time he murmured: "The sky is going to change."

The meaningless words made Lesiya frown, "What..."

"It's time for me to go, Xiaoya, be careful."

The temperature above her head disappeared, and when Lesiya came back to her senses, there was no one in front of her, but at this time, footsteps sounded behind her.

As soon as the revelation came out, Lesiya's eyes suddenly became sharp. As the person behind her got closer, her expression gradually became colder.

"I didn't know Colonel Smoker liked me so much?" Lesiya yawned and turned around, looking at Smoker who was holding two cigarettes in front of her and was very angry.

"I don't really like it, I'm just interested."

"You guy..." Lesiya didn't like to play riddles, and she didn't want to say anymore after saying one sentence, "Why are you looking for someone to follow me? I don't have freedom!"

"This is an order from above."

Smoker puffed out the smoke nonchalantly. The white smoke filled the dim alley, and Lesiya couldn't see the face of the person opposite for a while.

"I am also your superior." Lysia emphasized.

"Not directly."

Lysia's face turned red as she was choked, and she looked angry, "Okay, okay. You are my superior! Damn it!"

Stepping forward and pushing Smoker's tall figure aside, Lesiya angrily walked out of the alley, even using the Sixth Marine Style to avoid Smoker.

Running to the coast in a bit of embarrassment, Lesiya felt aggrieved. She had obviously become a lieutenant general in the past ten years. If everything goes well by the end of the year, she could be directly promoted to a general, so that she could stand on a more powerful side. Angle protected Luffy.

As a result, he was now being overpowered by a colonel, who happened to have orders from the old man from the Warring States Period to watch over him.

"I'm furious!!"

-

"Okay, Luffy, don't be angry." Nami lay on the sun lounger holding a newspaper and said perfunctorily, "You have said this countless times since I met you."

Luffy hugged Merry's bow with a sad look on his face, his entire face full of displeasure.

"Why haven't Hong Na come to me! I'm about to enter the Grand Line." Luffy ignored Nami's unintentional words and shouted to himself, "Hong Na——"

"You idiot!" Sanji roared from the kitchen.

Usopp curiously stepped forward and asked: "Hey Luffy, I heard you say it several times and I don't have time to ask...who is Hongna?"

"Honna is Hongna!" Luffy didn't even look back, he just looked at the calm sea, as if expecting Lysia to fall from the sky.

"Hey..." Usopp was speechless.

Zoro, who was catching up on his sleep in the corner, woke up, and Usopp's curiosity prompted him to ask the "first crew member".

"Zoro, do you know who Luffy is talking about Hongna?"

Zoro yawned, raised his hand to wipe the moisture from the corners of his eyes, then nodded and said, "I know."

"Really! That's great, tell me about it."

Zoro stood up, stretched, and walked into the kitchen to get a glass of water. Usopp followed closely and heard Zoro's small "Hmm."

Two minutes later, the small kitchen was full of four people.

Usopp raised his hand and said with some contempt: "What's going on with you two, aren't you not interested..."

"Shh." Nami patted Usopp on the shoulder, "Listen to the story. I'm also curious about who Luffy talks about every day."

Sanji also looked matter-of-factly, "I also have the right to know about ladies' matters!"

Zoro didn't care about the bickering between the three of them, and said casually: "Luffy told me this before, but he didn't say much. Nine out of ten sentences were about 'Why hasn't she come yet?'"

Zoro felt disgusted when he thought about it, but he continued: "This person is very important to Luffy. He was his playmate when he was a child. He once made a promise that he would keep it when Luffy went to sea."

"That's it?" Usopp's face seemed a little disappointed.

"I thought it would be more dramatic, like the past romantic debt?" Nami teased with some evil humor.

"Hey, that guy Luffy, romantic debt is unlikely!" Zoro waved his hand.

"Ah, indeed."

"I haven't finished speaking yet. You should listen carefully!" Zoro said a little irritably, "Really."

The three of them kept silent, and Zoro's expression suddenly became serious, "She is the daughter of the original owner of Luffy's hat."

……

As if he didn't react, after a brief silence, Usopp stood up suddenly and said in surprise: "Red, red, red, red-haired Shanks' daughter?!"

"What?! That Yonko..."

"Miss Hongna, whom I haven't met yet, is actually Shanks' daughter?!"

Zoro sighed slightly, "I had the same reaction when I first learned about it, but it's understandable after thinking about it."

"Yes, after all, judging from the importance Luffy attaches to that hat, Shanks' daughter must be a very important person to Luffy."

"Yes." Zoro nodded unequivocally.

Through the open door, Zoro looked at Luffy, who was sitting on the bow of the boat wearing a straw hat, with a distant look in his eyes.

Of course it's important, after all, when Luffy mentioned her, the light in his eyes was exactly the same as when he said he wanted to be the Pirate King.

Zoro curled up his lips, "I'm really curious. What kind of person is that daughter? I wonder if she uses a sword like him."

"Hey..." Seeing Zoro's old habit reappearing, Usopp looked up in disgust.

"Didn't Luffy say what she does?"

"No."

"How about asking?"

Nami pointed angrily at Luffy, who was surrounded by a mass of black energy, "It's better not to give up now. I've never seen Luffy look so depressed."

"Yes, let's ask again later."

"Maybe you will meet her if you are lucky." Usopp was very optimistic. "Since I said it, she will definitely come to Luffy. After all, she is the daughter of my father, the captain!"

Several people dispersed from the kitchen, but Luffy was still stubbornly lying on the bow of the boat, looking at something. Ever since the ship was changed to Merry, Luffy would often lie on the bow of Merry's boat and look into the distance, hoping that her Hongna would suddenly appear from the sea.

However, it does not.

Luffy lowered his head in frustration, and then as if he remembered something, his gloomy mood was swept away. He turned around excitedly and asked, "Nami, how long until we reach Rogge Town!"

"Ah, it will be soon." Nami poked her head out of the room, "The weather has been very good these two days. If nothing else happens, we can arrive tomorrow."

"Okay! I want to see it too - the scenery that the Pirate King once saw!"

"This guy gets better so fast." Sanji twitched the corner of his mouth as he looked at Luffy who was extremely excited.

"He remembered it again after a while." Zoro complained ruthlessly.

Luffy held the straw hat that was shaking in the sea breeze with one hand, put the other hand on his forehead and looked into the distance, his face as excited as ever.

"Hurry up! Rogge Town!"

-

"Hurry up! Luffy!!" Lysia shouted towards the sea in a deserted place. Before the sound left her voice, she saw a ship approaching with sharp eyes.

Because she was on a relatively remote coast, there was no one around. Facing the slowly approaching ship, Lesiya instinctively sensed it with her sense of sight, and then sighed with some disappointment.

"It's not Luffy..."

That's right, if it were Luffy, he would probably choose to appear in a more conspicuous way, right?

Speaking of which, Luffy said he would find all ten of his friends before, but he doesn’t know how many he has found now. Although seven-year-old Luffy offered him an "olive branch" at the beginning, Lysea didn't accept it at all and threatened to become a navy.

Even after all these years of thinking, Luffy still couldn't figure out why Lysia would join the navy.

Regarding this matter, the person involved, Lesiya, could not explain clearly.
