[One Piece Fan]Being a bug in the world of One Piece
Chapter 44 Chapter 44
"Ah? Oh, yes." Qingli didn't understand why this person suddenly brought up this issue again, and replied with a little hesitation.
"Then, young lady, do you still want to know?"
Porusalino smiled gently, but his words seemed to contain a toughness that could not be refused.
"Now it's not time to say——"
Under Porusalino's gaze, Qingli somehow failed to finish what he said, but involuntarily changed his words:
"Well...if you want to say something, just say it, I'm all ears."
Porusalino smiled again, raised his hand and took out a pack of cigarettes from the pocket of his suit jacket, took one out and placed it between his two fingers. Then the fingertips flashed, and a wisp of pale white smoke followed. It spreads out.
Smelling the slightly pungent and strange smell, Qingli frowned imperceptibly. No matter how many times she smelled it, she was still insensitive to the smell of smoke, so she moved her feet to the side without leaving any trace.
Porusalino, who was always meticulous, rarely noticed Qingli's actions this time. After lighting the cigarette, he looked at the slowly rising smoke and was lost in thought for a moment.
He has experienced too much in his half life, including birth, old age, illness and death, reunions and separations, his own and those of others... As time goes by, all the joys and sorrows fade away, and people gradually become indifferent.
Or perhaps, it is because of his cold nature that he is naturally difficult to be touched by anyone or anything in this world...
“In this sea, death is a normal phenomenon, everywhere and at all times, I have become accustomed to it.
A long time ago, I knew that one day I would meet the same ending, so I no longer cared about life and death. "
"Yes, everyone will die eventually." Qingli also admitted this.
"If you say that, you are really open-minded. There are very few people in this world who can face death calmly like you. Well, I can't do it anyway. I think I am quite afraid of death."
"But to be honest, you are taking things too far. Don't you think there are people and things that you can't let go of?
Or is it a goal, a belief, something like that?
Don’t your navy all believe in the concept of justice? If we really died like that just now, wouldn't you feel very sorry that you would never be able to realize your own justice? Wouldn't it feel like such a worthless death? "
Qingli asked a series of questions out of curiosity.
"Ha~ Then how can we consider a worthy death?" Porusalino asked.
"Well, there are a lot..."
Before Qingli could think of what to say, Porusalino said calmly:
"As for what the young lady said, I don't know anything about it~"
"Huh? What do you mean?" Qingli didn't react for a moment.
Porusalino raised his eyebrows and said quite meaningfully: "I don't have people and things that I can't let go of, goals, beliefs... I don't have them~ Even the justice that the Navy insists on is dispensable to me. Such an attitude~”
real or fake? Are there really people in this world who don’t care at all? Such a life... wouldn't it be boring?
"It's true~ I am such a person~"
After hearing Porusalino's words, Qingli realized that she had unknowingly spoken out her inner thoughts. She suddenly felt a little bad and couldn't help but smile.
But then, Qingli couldn't help but asked her doubts: "I still find it incredible. There are so many people around you, such as family, friends, teachers, and colleagues. Could it be that there is no one who can make you feel at ease?" Got it?"
"Are these the people you care about, little miss?" Porusalino asked.
Qingli nodded and said frankly: "Yes, these are the people I care about, and I know they must also care about me. If I really die, my relatives, friends, teachers, and classmates, They will all be very sad. When I think of this, I don’t want to die like this no matter what. I must go back alive to see them.”
In her words, Qingli's lingering fear about what she had experienced was clearly revealed, but Porusalino did not feel the slightest hint of regret or resentment from her body.
He looked at Qingli intently, seeing the clear fear, reluctance, joy and calmness in her eyes as always.
This little girl's emotions are always so clear. When you look at them, they are like the clear water in front of you, clean and pure. Inadvertently, you will clearly reflect the despicable and unbearable side of others.
But at the same time, she also exudes a dizzying light like the water, warm and bright, unconsciously attracting others to come closer.
It's funny to say that he is obviously the light, but it is the other person who is shining with dazzling light in his eyes at this moment.
Therefore, feelings are really the most unreasonable things in the world.
However, in just half a day, the image of the little girl in his mind was completely different from before——
She is no longer a delicate gem that is only suitable for careful maintenance in a glass display case for people to appreciate and play with, but an extremely hard and shining diamond that can resist the erosion of wind and frost on its own.
Although both are equally dazzling, their essences are completely opposite.
Such a change naturally did not come from the little girl herself, but from a change in his mood.
He originally thought that he would always be able to face anything, including feelings, with ease, but he never thought that one day he would be unable to control himself.
This feeling of being out of control was something he had never experienced in the past few decades. It wasn't that good, but it surprisingly didn't disgust him, and he even felt a little bit excited about it.
Perhaps as the little girl said, his life has been peaceful and boring for too long, so that he happily accepts such changes at this moment, and even can't wait to go further.
He lowered his eyes with inexplicable joy and said in a rather sad tone:
"But I'm different~ No one cares about me..."
"I don't have any family.
As for the teachers he respects, the one he dislikes the most is me~
Well, Sakaski is a friend, but if I die, he will probably just call me 'idiot', eh~ or 'idiot'? By the way, I'll just wait and avenge this old man when I get the chance.
After all, he is also a person who is used to seeing death like me~ he will not be sad for me.
Not to mention other colleagues and subordinates, it is a pity that the navy is missing one combat force at most. "
Even the World Government should send out CP9 members to find the whereabouts of the Sparkling Fruit.
Porusalino thought sarcastically.
"So~ little miss, look, I don't have anyone to worry about~"
"It's actually like this. The six relatives are weak and have no worries... It feels like it's a pity that you don't go to Tianxin Sect to practice the ruthless way..."
After listening to what Porusalino said clearly, I couldn't help but sigh, lowered my head slightly and muttered something. I couldn't explain what it felt like, but I felt a little miserable for no reason.
"Yeah~ Miss, are you sympathizing with me?" Porusalino asked with a half-smile.
Although he didn't hear clearly what Qingli was saying, he could see what was in Qingli's expression at this moment.
"It's a little bit, I'm sorry..." Qingli stroked the black hair hanging down on her chest and replied a little unnaturally.
She also knew that this obviously condescending mood would often offend others, so most people didn't like to be sympathized with, but she couldn't control this mood, so she had no choice but to admit it and speak at the same time. apologize.
Seeing that Porusalino's smile became even weirder, Qingli hurriedly added:
"Actually, your destiny is quite good. I knew as soon as I heard that you are destined to be the one who brings the crown."
"It is said that such people are often intelligent, talented, erudite and enthusiastic about research, thoughtful and discerning, fond of art, not vulgar, noble in style, self-respecting and self-loving. Most importantly, they are ready to help when in danger. It’s like being blessed by a god, and everything will turn into good luck.”
Qingli's words were not nonsense, but because she really remembered something about numerology that her third senior brother, who was so nagging, once said.
She remembered that the most obvious characteristic of a person born with a brilliance is that they have few relatives. They are both noble and lonely throughout their lives, with more worries and less joy. Their temperament is quite eccentric and unpredictable.
Lieutenant General Porusalino's experience and performance were so perfectly in line with these characteristics that she couldn't help but think of them.
After Porusalino heard Qingli's series of extremely accurate descriptions, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, "This really surprises me~ Can the young lady actually tell fortunes?"
"Well, this... I understand a little bit, just a little bit." Qingli blinked and said with a guilty conscience.
Porusalino saw through it without saying anything, chuckled lightly and said, "Oh~ what else is there?"
"Huh? What else is there?"
"The young lady only talked about the advantages, but what about the disadvantages?"
Willful and conceited, self-admiring, competitive, enjoying the compliments of others, narcissistic tendencies, indolent, extremely lazy, well... some even have mysophobia.
Oh, this last one probably doesn’t count.
Qingli's mind instantly flashed through a bunch of shortcomings that people with life-bearing huagai would have, but her rationality told her that these were probably not suitable to be spoken out.
After all, maybe these shortcomings can match those of Porusalino. If so, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
So, Qingli waved her hand and said vaguely: "Those are not important! What is important is what I said at the end. When you encounter danger, you can definitely save the day!"
"So, even if no one cares about you, you can still live well. This is such a joyful thing! No one else can envy you!"
"Haha~ the little lady is really good at comforting people~" Porusalino smiled warmly, "I am a little curious, is the little lady always so optimistic? It feels like no matter what happens, the little lady can find good things. What about the other side~"
"Oh, I'm born with a big heart and there's nothing I can do about it~" Qingli said, shaking her head.
"However, my teacher and my elders all said that it is good to do this, so as not to worry too much, not only hurt your nerves, but also make yourself miserable."
"Hmm~ That makes sense~" Porusalino nodded in agreement.
"Right? I think so too."
While talking, Qingli noticed that Porusalino seemed to have returned to his previous appearance, although it made his hands feel a little itchy, but still barely normal, and she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief silently. Anyway, it would be nice to be back to normal.
Tsk, there really is no difference without comparison. Compared to the weird and deep look just now, being beaten a little seems nothing.
