One Piece: The Magician

Three people and one fish were walking on the streets of Rogge Town, and they were very eye-catching.

These three people are naturally Usopp, Nami, and Sanji. As for the big fish with an elephant trunk, it is Sanji's prize for winning the cooking competition.

The treasure of the sea, the elephant sturgeon, is a dream ingredient in the eyes of countless chefs.

"So, you are participating in the competition just for this fish." Usopp walked in front, gritting his teeth and carrying the big fish, which seemed to be very difficult.

"Tell me, why do I have to lift the heavy end?"

Behind Usopp was Sanji, who looked like a nymphomaniac and muttered something while walking.

"I never expected that the president of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce is a super beauty, ah ~ Miss Anna"

"If you like that woman so much, why don't you agree to her?" Nami pouted. Miss Navigator had an instinctive feeling of rejection for a rich beauty like Anna: "Didn't she just invite you to be a chef at the hotel of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce?"

"How is that possible, Nami-san?" Sanji threw away the fish tail in his hand, and the huge weight almost knocked Usopp down. The curly-browed chef knelt down on one knee towards Nami and said loudly:

"The first time I laid eyes on you, I swore to be your knight on the sea."

Nami was surprised and ignored Sanji's attentiveness. Suddenly, she stretched out her hand in surprise, felt it for a while, and said to the two of them.

"Hurry up, it's going to rain." Nami's pace quickened. "The air pressure has changed."

Usopp gritted his teeth and picked up the whole elephant sturgeon. After hearing this, he looked up at the sky, only to see a clear sky, not to mention rain clouds, not even a cloud at all.

"How could it rain in such weather?" Usopp wondered.

Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce Headquarters

After the cooking competition, Anna returned to the headquarters of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce. Although she only tasted a little bit of each dish, so many dishes made it too much for Anna, who usually has a small appetite.

After pushing aside the accompanying secretary and pushing open the study door, Anna paused slightly, and her eyes under the lenses shrank to the size of needlepoints.

On the ebony rocking chair that I like very much, there is a familiar man sitting, with familiar black hair and black eyes, familiar silver-rimmed glasses, and the familiar temperament, but it is missing compared to a year ago. A little more easy-going, a little more ruthless.

The number one terrorist in the East China Sea - the magician - Thassarian Sherlock, the second president of the Glitter Gold Chamber of Commerce, Anna's former boss was sitting in front of her, reading a book on the shelf with relish.

"Are you back?" Sherlock asked without raising his head.

"Well, I'm back." Anna pushed up her glasses, looking somewhat relieved.

"It's a pity that you didn't make it to the cooking competition this time. The blond chef from Barati said the cooking was superb." Anna smiled slightly unnaturally.

"Sea Restaurant Barati Blonde" heard this, Sherlock put down the book in his hand: "It must be Sanji. Speaking of which, he is still my savior."

Sherlock stood up, looked Anna up and down, and pushed up his glasses.

"I didn't expect that you, who had been working behind the scenes, are now able to take charge of your own business. I'm very happy." Sherlock smiled slightly, and the gentle look between his brows made Anna feel a little dazed.

Sherlock took a few steps forward and looked at Anna's plump upper waist. The golden iris emblem necklace on it was very conspicuous.

"Do you still have that necklace?" Sherlock asked in surprise.

"Yeah" Anna carefully touched the necklace on her chest, looking quite nostalgic, and murmured:

"I will never forget the life-saving grace of the president."

This incident happened ten years ago, when Sherlock's parents were shipwrecked at sea. Sherlock, who was only 14 years old, took over the mess of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce and became the second president.Later, Sherlock met the dying Anna on a ship while discussing business.

And that necklace was a gift given by Sherlock to Anna on the first anniversary of joining the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce.

"Really?" A black shadow flashed, and Sherlock's body suddenly came close to Anna, and the corner of his mouth was close to Anna's ear. Their posture was very ambiguous. Sherlock's hot breath made Anna's ears feel itchy and her body felt unnatural. 's leaning back.

In an instant, the whole room became extremely quiet, and both parties could clearly hear the heartbeat of the other party. The oppressive atmosphere seemed to solidify the surrounding air.

"Then let me ask you a question." Sherlock spoke in a sleepy voice toward his ears that were red from nervousness.

"Why did you betray me?"

Anna felt like she was struck by lightning. Although she had been mentally prepared for it, when Sherlock said it clearly, Anna still stood there like a fool.

In fact, based on the intelligence collected and the internal reactions of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce at that time, it was not difficult for Sherlock to judge that Anna was the most capable and most likely person to betray him, because she seemed to have expected something to happen to Sherlock and did all she could. Prepared.But he really couldn't understand why the woman he trusted most would betray him.

Feeling the violent mood swings of the beauty beside him, Sherlock's eyes shone with cold light, quietly waiting for a satisfactory answer.

After a long time, Anna gently pushed Sherlock away from him.

"As expected of Sherlock, I can't hide anything from you." Anna's face was neither sad nor happy, and she said slowly:

"You know, Thassarian Shylock, I have always regarded you as the object of my admiration. My goal in life is to become a person as powerful as you."

"I'm always observing you and secretly imitating you, your movements, tone of voice, habits, way of thinking, etc." At this point, Anna looked at Sherlock affectionately.

"At the same time, like most of the girls in the party, I love you deeply."

Sherlock's expression did not change.

"I once told you that I have a very happy family, father, mother, and two beautiful sisters."

"I also told you that my family runs a bakery, and I became an orphan after being attacked by pirates."

"Actually, to avoid trouble, these are all lies to you. I used to be the princess of a small kingdom in the East China Sea."

Sherlock's expression changed slightly. He had never heard of this information.

Ana glanced at his expression and continued:

"It's normal that you don't know, because" Anna took a deep breath, her eyes burning with flames of hatred, and the tragic memories were brought back again.

"Because it was the Celestial Dragons who destroyed my kingdom, my hometown, and my family."

"Just because that Tianlong fell in love with my two sisters, my father didn't agree, and then"

"They actually launched the demon-slaying order." Anna looked miserable and shed two lines of tears.

Killing the demon made Sherlock take a deep breath. Although he had long heard that this was a great weapon to protect government interests, Sherlock had never heard of it being used anywhere.

"In order to cover up the scandal, information about this kingdom has long been blocked by the world government. I am the only survivor of that kingdom."

Anna calmed down, and the hatred in her eyes was still real. She continued:

"From that day on, I swore that if possible, I would kill all the Celestial Dragons and this bunch of evil-doing garbage."

Anna reluctantly smiled: "Then I was saved by you, I was taken care of by you, I learned business from you, and managed the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce with you. You were like an angel, letting me come out of the shadows. For many years In the past, I seemed to have forgotten the hatred. At that time, my wish was to be with you for the rest of my life."

"But what I never expected was" Anna wiped the tears on her face and looked at Sherlock, her eyes were like broken stars at midnight, making people extremely pitiful.

"Thassarian Shylock, the person I have always admired, the person I love the most, is actually the Draco I hate the most."

""

Anna's voice was not loud, but those words were like thunder. Sherlock's body trembled, and a pair of dark eyes looked at Anna who was looking at him with blazing eyes with incredible eyes. Countless messages passed through his mind.

From love comes hatred, and from grudges one becomes a demon.Some people like something. When the thing they like most is mixed with the thing they dislike the most, a normal person may no longer like it or continue to like it according to his or her own liking for it.However, there are some people who are a little sick in their hearts and will destroy the things they like. Anna belongs to the latter group. As the saying goes, the depth of love is the depth of hatred.

After a long time, Sherlock let out a breath.

"I learned this from the old drunkard. It was you who did the old drunkard's death."

The old drunkard is Sherlock's uncle, a trash with the same style as Loki.Loki tells Sherlock that not long after he was killed, the old drunkard was killed by a mysterious fire.His son Loki escaped death.

Anna didn't answer, so she acquiesced.

"It's true that I have the blood of twenty kings." Sherlock's eyes dodge a little. He sighed and continued to Anna: "But I'm not a Celestial Dragon, no."

"Hmph." Anna crossed her arms and hummed softly, "Who knows if you will be taken back to the Holy Land Marie Joa by those rubbish in the future."

"Just like that sister of yours."

Anna's words seemed to hit Sherlock's Achilles' heel. He pushed up his glasses and turned his face to one side, not knowing what he was thinking.
