One Piece: The Magician

Yuba, known as the largest oasis in Alabasta, is also the intersection of the Western Desert. In the past, it was unknown how many travelers and businessmen passed through this city every day.

But when the Straw Hats arrived at Yuba, they found that it had also turned into a city that was about to be swallowed up by the ruthless yellow sand. With dry branches and broken houses, it is estimated that after a while, this former business travel destination will be destroyed. They will all follow in the footsteps of Elmalu and become one of the victims of this natural and man-made disaster.

"How could this happen?" Weiwei's face suddenly turned pale. She really didn't expect that this once largest oasis would now look like this.

"Where are the rebels?" The blue-haired girl walked forward quickly.

Although no one thought that the rebels would still be stationed in this abandoned town, they still followed Weiwei in.

Later, the Straw Hats found the only person left in the town in a large pit.

This is a skinny old man. The skin on his face has become as rough as tree bark due to dryness. At this time, he is digging vigorously in a large pit, leaving only a thin back to everyone.

"Are you a traveler? I'm sorry. This town has dried up." The old man crawled out of the pit and looked at Weiwei and others: "But if you want to rest here for a while, it's still no problem. There are Many empty houses”

"That's the only thing this town can be proud of right now."

In order to prevent the old man from discovering her true identity, Weiwei covered the lower half of her face with a veil and gently pulled Sherlock's clothes.

Sherlock nodded understandingly, walked forward, bowed to the gray-faced old man gracefully, and then asked softly:

"Old man, I heard that the rebels have all moved to Cattleya. Is this true?"

"You are quite well informed." The old man glanced at Sherlock strangely, and then said in a very disappointed tone: "Yes, those idiots have left. If you are also here to join the rebels, please leave quickly. Here You are not welcome”

After hearing the conversation between the two, the Straw Hats all looked disappointed. When Vivi revealed that Cattleya was actually not far from the Rapeseed Flower Port at the beginning, Luffy and others' expressions changed. It became even more ugly, and their trip was in vain this time.

Sanji reached out and flicked the cigarette ashes, and asked with some confusion: "Hey, Sherlock, if I heard correctly, you were asking if the rebels had moved to Cattleya, right?"

"Glass, did you already know that the rebels are no longer here?" The blue-haired girl stared at Sherlock with her dark eyes, as if she wanted to see a flower on his face.

"You don't tell me anything"

Luffy and others also looked at the magician with doubtful eyes. After all, Sherlock's behavior this time was so unreasonable.

"Yes, I already knew all this through the intelligence collected by the navy before arriving on the west bank of the Santo River."

Sherlock pushed up his glasses with a calm expression, took a deep breath, and said in a very calm tone: "I didn't tell you on purpose."

Sherlock

Nami raised her delicate eyebrows. Although she didn't see anything in Sherlock's eyes this time, her intuition told her that what the sorcerer did had deep meaning.

Zoro looked serious and said nothing.

"Sherlock, this is your fault." The little reindeer looked angry.

Usopp listened and nodded, obviously very dissatisfied with the sorcerer's concealment.

Luffy picked his nose: "Yes, Charlotte, don't you want to help Weiwei?"

Sighing softly, Sherlock was about to explain, but was interrupted by the old man who was excited after hearing Weiwei's name.

"Weiwei, are you really Princess Weiwei? Thank God you are still alive." The old man's eyes filled with excitement. He walked forward tremblingly, held the blue-haired girl's hand, and said in a harsh voice: "You Don’t you recognize me? After all, I’ve lost a lot of weight over the years.”

Hearing this, Weiwei took a closer look at the old man's face again and found that his eyebrows were so familiar. The fat and kind face in her memory slowly overlapped with this weather-beaten old face.

"You are Uncle Dotuo." Weiwei covered her mouth in extreme surprise. She really didn't expect that the father of her childhood friend would be like this now.

While the two people who had not seen each other for a long time were reminiscing about old times, Chopper's expression suddenly changed. He raised his little head and sniffed with his nose, and then shouted to everyone in a panic: "Sorry, everyone, a sandstorm is coming."

As a little reindeer, Chopper was born with a strong intuition for various natural disasters.

In the desert, the most terrifying thing is this giant sandstorm that can swallow everything.

Before the tsunami-like yellow sand wave came, Uncle Doto had already led the Straw Hats to hide in a strong house. Judging from his skillful appearance, it seemed that experiencing this natural disaster was no longer a once-in-a-lifetime experience. times.

The sand hit the stone wall and made a continuous rustling sound. The wind and sand outside were so strong that the small house was trembling slightly.

"Over the years, a sandstorm has hit Yuba almost every few days, and with no rain falling, the oasis in Yuba has become like this." Doto closed the door of the house, extremely He shook his head helplessly, and then told Weiwei and others about the rebel army.

"I have always believed in the king. I believe that the king is not that kind of person." Doto covered his head with his dry hands and collapsed to the ground with a look of pain on his face. It was tears: "Weiwei, please, please stop those idiots."

"Uncle Dotuo" Weiwei hurriedly lifted Dotuo up from the ground, her eyes became more determined: "Don't worry, I will definitely stop the rebels."

"enough"

"How long will you continue to deceive yourself, Weiwei?" Sherlock, who was sitting on the chair nearby, shouted sharply.

"Glass, why did you say that?" Weiwei looked at Sherlock, who was still as calm and calm as usual, with some confusion. She bit her lips gently, her eyes filled with confusion and anger.

"Sherlock" x5

Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, Nami, and Chopper looked at the magician at the same time. This was the first time they saw Sherlock, who had always been so kind, speaking in this tone.

Sanji frowned: "Hey, Sherlock, how could you talk to a lady like that?"

"What are you doing to stop the rebellion? Do you really think that you can convince the 70 rebels with just your mouth?" Sherlock ignored the curly eyebrow cook's advice, and his tone became more serious: "Do you think Allah Will Bastan believe in a bunch of unknown pirates, or will he believe in their national hero?"

"If you go like this, you will fall into the trap of the sand crocodile."

"Wake up, Weiwei, who do you think you are? You can't do anything now. You can only watch those people living in dire straits, watching them spend their last moments with endless resentment towards your father. Take your last breath and watch the sand crocodile take over your beloved country without any effort."

"Because you are just a silly girl living in a dream."

"Asshole, how can you talk like that?" Uncle Doto on the side heard that the man with eyes was so rude to the princess of their country. He immediately became furious. He picked up the shovel on the ground and seemed to be planning to fight for his life with Sherlock. He was shocked. Usopp and Chopper, who had transformed into a gorilla, quickly stopped him.

Princess Weiwei lowered her eyes, and her sky-blue hair covered the upper half of the girl's face, so that others could not see her facial expressions. However, judging from Weiwei's trembling body and the gradually becoming depressing atmosphere around her, Look, her expression must be ugly.

As the sorcerer's words became more serious, the blue-haired girl's body trembled more and more intensely. Finally, unable to bear it anymore, Princess Weiwei suddenly raised her head, revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes.

"What do you know Sherlock?" Vivi strode towards Sherlock angrily. She was so angry that she even began to call the magician by his real name. She stretched out her hands and pulled Sherlock off the chair. Picked it up.

"The country I love is suffering from an unimaginable rebellion. I don't know how many people are losing their lives every day because of this rebellion. If I don't stop the rebels, how can I save this country?"

"Calling me naive, what's wrong with thinking like this? I don't want anyone to die. Is this wrong? Tell me, Sherlock."

Princess Weiwei's pretty face flushed red with excitement. As she spoke, she waved her little fist and hit Sherlock's chest hard as if to vent her anger. There was a muffled sound of "dong dong dong", in this silence where you could hear the drop of a pin. The room is exceptionally clear.

Sherlock didn't dodge or speak anymore, he just endured it silently. He looked at the blue-haired girl's eyes that were like broken stars, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

All this is really too heavy for a 16-year-old girl.

Forgive me, Weiwei. For your country and yourself, you must understand what you should do now. I will be the villain who woke you up. Sherlock thought in his heart.

However, just when Sherlock was about to continue saying something, the stupid captain who had been standing quietly aside suddenly did something that shocked everyone's jaws.

Bang Princess Weiwei fell to the ground.

"People will die, Vivi." Luffy retracted his fist towards the blue-haired girl and gently pressed the straw hat on his head. His face was neither sad nor happy, unlike his usual heartless look. They look completely different from each other.

Hey, hey, hey, I wanted to wake her up, but I didn't really hit her with my fists. Sherlock looked at Weiwei who was slowly getting up with her face covered, and his heart was extremely messy.

"Luffy, you bastard!" The nymphomaniac cook, who hated hitting women the most, was about to get angry, but a skinny figure beat him to it.

"You bastard, how dare you hit Princess Vivi?" The furious Uncle Doto broke free from the restraints of Usopp and Chopper. He clenched the shovel in his hand, rounded it up and slapped Luffy on the head hard.

Snapped

After suffering a heavy blow to the head, Luffy just turned his head slightly, but the weather-beaten shovel broke into two pieces. The shocked and hot-tempered Doto immediately sat on the ground.

"What Charlotte just said is right. You alone can't stop the rebellion." Luffy said calmly: "If we want to stop the rebellion, we can only fight Crocodile. Even I understand this. , but why have you never mentioned it?”

"How can you fight them all by yourself, you idiot?"

Oh my God, Luffy is starting to call other people idiots. What the hell is going on in this world?

After hearing Luffy's words, Nami and others were silent. They were not optimistic about Weiwei's actions from the beginning. They just didn't make their words clear to take care of Weiwei's mood.

"Then what should I do to fight him? He is a Shichibukai!" Weiwei, who had completely lost control of her emotions, rushed towards Luffy like an angry female leopard, and then slapped the Straw Hat captain down. land.

"I don't care about anything but my own life now." Weiwei gasped for breath. She suddenly thought of the sacrificed Ikarem in her mind, and her eyes gradually lost focus.

"Then let's fight for our lives together." Luffy's voice suddenly rose up as he fell to the ground, and he roared loudly, a cry that reached people's hearts:

"Aren't we partners?"

Todoroki Luffy's words exploded in Vivi's mind like thunder, making her eyes instantly filled with tears.

In fact, this country is in danger, and Weiwei is the most unwilling person. She wants to eat the meat of a sand crocodile, but she also knows in her heart that she cannot defeat a king of the Shichibukai, so she takes this idea deep into her heart. He hid it in his heart, pretending to be strong and put on a mask to escape reality.

But now, she no longer has to hide her thoughts.

Yes, I am not fighting alone, I have friends

Sherlock looked at Princess Vivi who was sitting on the ground and crying loudly as if to vent her anger. He sighed, walked forward and knelt down.

"Stop crying, Weiwei, the nightmare will be over soon."

"Woo~~. Glasses~~" Maybe because she felt uncomfortable crying alone with her face covered, Weiwei did not hesitate to plunge into Sherlock's arms, and the force was so strong that she almost threw the magician. A somersault.

The others all smiled knowingly when they saw this. It seemed that Princess Weiwei's inner settlement had been solved.

With Nephrite in his arms, Sherlock's face flashed with panic, then calmed down in an instant. He was slightly afraid of hitting Vivi on the back, and turned to look at Luffy sitting on the ground beside him, who immediately responded with a The hearty smile seemed to be happy that Weiwei's knot in her heart had been resolved.

This idiot is more suitable to be the villain than me. Hey~~ It seems that I am still too kind.

Sherlock smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, and then said to everyone:

"Okay, now that the purpose is clear, it's time for me to tell you my battle plan."

ps: A book friend said that the protagonist looks like Colonel Chu. Um, what do I say? Although they are both men with glasses, and they are both military advisors, and they all rely on their brains to make a living, and they have played with double guns, and they all like it. research, and

Okay, I admit that I did borrow Chu Xuan’s character design, but I may not be able to write the feeling of being so wise and almost demonic.
