"One Piece" ADAMAS

After three months of working as a clerk, Arya's rebellious nature couldn't be suppressed. With Arya's personality, it was a miracle that she could handle the boring documents for so long.

"These documents are too boring. What about Vegapunk's application for raising a cat in the laboratory? Do you need to write an application for something like this? It's like he won't raise it if we don't agree!" Arya Burying his head in the pile of documents, "And why don't you write down the final total for the materials budget for the science class?! Are the price lists with hundreds of items waiting for me to press the calculator for them?"

"Well, calm down. If you think these documents are boring, how about I give you some other work?" Kizaru smiled very amiably.

As soon as Arya saw his expression, she knew that he was going to dig a hole for her again, but she couldn't ignore him, so she had to ask very reluctantly: "What job?"

"I'm out of tea. Please go buy some for me and take a walk to change your mood."

"Isn't there a lot of tea in the tea room?"

"I like drinking this brand~" Kizaru said in a long tone, "This brand of black tea is delicious. Don't you drink my tea, Arya?"

Ha, you are waiting for me here. I was wondering why this man insisted on me trying his black tea yesterday. It turned out that he wanted me to run errands! Arya rolled her eyes silently. The brand Kizaru liked to drink was only sold in the northernmost store in Marineland. It would take her half a day to go back and forth. This person can obviously buy it by using his fruit power in two seconds, but he is so lazy!

"Oh, by the way, you can buy a pound of bananas on your way back. Don't buy those that are seven or eight years old and not too old." Kizaru added.

"You really mean the monkey!" Arya slammed the office door angrily.

Facts have proved that when faced with oppressive behaviors that are not in compliance with labor laws, we must promptly refuse, otherwise the boss will think you are easy to bully and will take advantage of you.

Ever since Arya helped Kizaru go across half of Marineland to buy tea, Kizaru had gradually handed over his personal affairs to Arya to handle. For example, helping him take his clothes to the dry cleaning, and shopping for various things along the way. He simply wanted to find something for Arya to do whenever he had nothing to do, and in the end he even called it training her.

Arya's resentment erupted after she learned that Iska had her own warship and could go out into the field. She walked straight to Kizaru's desk and pounded the table angrily: "Why!?"

"Why why?" Kizaru picked up the teacup with quick eyes and hands, "You look more and more like Mr. Zefa now."

"Why can Iska go on field duty? Her military rank is obviously lower than mine!" Arya glared at Kizaru with resentment.

"Because you are not strong enough." Kizaru smiled calmly.

"Are you serious?" Arya's fists were already clenched.

"I don't mean that you are not strong enough in combat, I mean that you are not mentally mature enough to carry an entire fleet on your back."

"Am I immature?" Arya looked unconvinced.

"Isn't it? In order to achieve your own goals, you can completely ignore the situation of others, such as Mrs. Granny and Loyal." The smile on Kizaru's lips did not diminish, but there was a cold light in his eyes. Arya shrank back unconsciously.

Stealing top-secret files was indeed something she did wrong and lacked consideration, so she couldn't refute it and had no choice but to continue reviewing boring documents as if resigned to her fate, with a very aggrieved expression on her face.

"But it doesn't mean I can't let you go on patrol at sea for fun." Kizaru crossed his legs and supported his head with one hand.

Arya immediately looked up and blinked.

"If you can use Haki skillfully, I will let you go."

Recently, Arya's combat effectiveness has reached a bottleneck, and she is not able to skillfully arm Haki.

"really?"

"When did I stop keeping my word?" Kizaru smiled, "But I think it will take you at least several months to learn it."

Arya felt that she had been underestimated, so she started training domineering mode without eating or sleeping. The specific method was to sneak attack Kuzan at home from time to time, so Kuzan was forced to make smoothies for a long time. Then when he was driven crazy by the pile of documents in the office, he furiously hammered Kizaru to no avail, and was ridiculed by Kizaru, who eventually doubled his overtime hours.

This cycle continued until one day Kuzan discovered that Arya could hit him with Haki continuously.

Arya: I learned how to do it because I really wanted to push Kizaru to the ground and beat him.

—

"Hmm, Captain Arya?" The naval officer with the "x" scar on his chin was looking Arya up and down.

"Yes, Major General Drake." Arya looked up at Drake and saluted seriously. After being in the navy for a long time, Arya is suffering from cervical spondylosis, and it is really stressful to raise her neck every day.

"I heard that this is your first time on patrol at sea?" Derek looked at this little girl who was more than ten years younger than him and less than 1.6 meters tall, and the corner of his mouth twitched inadvertently.

Not long ago, the Navy Headquarters received an application for reinforcements from the Beihai Branch. It was said that a group of pirates specializing in kidnapping and trafficking of children had appeared in the North Sea. Because of their strong strength and caution, the branch's people had never been able to catch this group of pirates. The superiors immediately dispatched Drake, a rear admiral who was born in the North Sea. For Drake, this was all normal, except that before leaving, General Kizaru suddenly sent a young man over, saying that he was here to help him, but Anyone with a discerning eye would know that he was asked to act as a nanny.

"Yes, please don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble." Arya naturally heard Drake's thoughts and knew that Drake regarded her as a troublesome relationship. Although Kizaru agreed to let her go to sea, he still did not agree to let her lead the fleet and forced her to go on someone else's ship to learn, which led to the current embarrassing situation.

But fortunately, Arya's goal was achieved. She just wanted to come to Beihai to find something. The vague boy in her memory mentioned Frevans to her, so there was a high probability that the boy was a survivor of Frevans, although all reports said there were no survivors of Frevans.

Derek sighed and didn't seem to believe what Arya said, but he nodded casually.

This was Arya's first time coming to the North Sea. Although Kuzan reminded her before leaving that the winter in the North Sea would be extremely cold, she had no idea about the extreme cold as she had been living on Spring Island and Summer Island. So when the cold wind from the North Sea blew over, Arya shivered hard, and she still wore less clothes.

Drake glanced at the shivering Arya, very gentlemanly put his justice coat on Arya, and then mopped the floor.

Drake's warships traveled among several islands following the information given by the branch, and Arya gradually adapted to the climate of the North Sea. She killed people on the ship with her harmless face, and soon the entire fleet except for Drake was captured by Arya. Her life was more leisurely than a vacation. According to the client's own description, she just looked into the other person's eyes and smiled. Derek didn't say anything about this. After all, Arya did not cause him any trouble, and even took the initiative to help him find out the information. Not everyone has Arya's powerful knowledge and domineering attitude.

"Report, there is new information coming in." The sailor who delivered the message handed the information to Drake while sneaking a glance at Arya who was standing aside.

Arya noticed the marine soldier's gaze and turned to him with a smile and waved.

"Cough" Derek coughed lightly, and the sailor recovered his senses and ran away immediately.

"Oh? Frevanth?" Arya's sharp eyes saw a familiar name appear on the information.

"This group of people escaped to Freifans to escape capture." Drake laughed contemptuously.

After the demise of Frevanth, people were still worried about the remaining infectious virus in Frevanth country, and no one dared to approach it. Since then, the entire island has become a desert island under government supervision, which is indeed a good hiding place.

Arya wears a hazmat suit and follows Drake around the island. There has been no human activity on the island in the past ten years. Nature has gradually covered the traces of human beings, and green plants have grown unhindered, creating a sense of desolate beauty. Arya regretted not bringing her camera out.

"We are here to perform a mission, not to travel." Drake reminded him timely.

"I think this building may hold clues." Arya pointed to the abandoned hospital with a red cross in front of her.

But in fact, this was just her selfishness. The hospital must have left many clues when lead disease broke out. As for the clues about the pirates, she had heard from the moment she landed on the island that there were no living people on the island. She had never met a living person who could make no sound at all under her ears.

"Let's search separately, so it's more efficient." Arya wanted to drive away Drake.

Derek nodded: "No matter what situation you encounter, don't act without authorization."

Arya opened a door casually, and it looked like it was the archives room. She really had a connection with the archives room recently.

The entire room was turned into a mess, and there were even rows of bullet holes and traces of fire damage on the walls. A heinous tragedy must have occurred here.

Arya rummaged through it carefully. Almost all the documents inside were burned, except for a relatively well-preserved notebook in the corner of the cabinet, with a photo frame next to it. Opening the notebook, there were some medical notes inside, but the font looked like they were written by a child. The photo frame has been blackened by the fire, but the photo inside is still well preserved. It is a group photo of a group of children from the church. The boy in the center wearing a spotted hat is holding a frog in his hand. His face is expressionless and calm. The other children are so scared that they stay half a meter away from him.

Spotted Hat The boy in Arya's memory was wearing a spotted hat.

Arya thought for a moment and decided to take both items with her. After leaving the archives, she looked through other rooms, but couldn't find any other useful information. Arya sighed. Through the window, she saw a large open space behind the hospital, with numerous tombstones densely erected on the open space.

When Drake found Arya, she was visiting her grave and laying flowers.

"There's no one here, let's go." Drake shouted to Arya, "Did you find anything?"

"No." Arya shook her head.

—

Luo often wakes up from nightmares in the middle of the night. The fire of Frevans and the smiling face of Mr. Corazon are lingering in his mind. Usually at this time, he will also think of the little girl with injuries all over her body and a bad personality. . To be honest, he didn't remember much about the girl's appearance, only the bright black eyes and the sweet smell after licking his lips.

That Arya guy must have been saved after he jumped into the sea. He is probably still living well in Marineland now. I don't know if I still remember him. But with that guy's temperament, he should be preparing to become a navy. In this way, even if they meet at sea in the future, they will be enemies. I really want to see that guy's expression when he sees his wanted poster. It must be quite fun. Just thinking about it makes him feel less bad.

"Captain, the navy is here!" Bebo and the others hurried over.

"Why are you panicking? They are probably looking for the pirates who kidnapped and trafficked children." Luo looked at the chart in his hand calmly.

"Then let's go quickly and leave this place to the navy." Xia Qi urged.

The figures of those abducted children emerged in Luo's mind, gradually overlapping with the figures of his childhood church classmates. If he didn't see the children being rescued with his own eyes, the knot in his heart would never go away.

"You drive the Polar Ship and wait for me here." Luo pointed to a certain location on the chart. It was a remote bay on the island, very hidden.

"Captain, what are you going to do?" other crew members asked in confusion.

"Do some things, don't worry. There is no wanted order for me yet, and the navy doesn't recognize me yet." Luo comforted his crew, and then walked into the only tavern on the island.

Luo did not intend to participate in the battle between the Navy and the group of pirates, but for the sake of the abducted children, he decided to provide the Navy with some clues about the pirate strongholds that their Heart Pirates had discovered in the past few weeks.

"Boss, has anyone brought their children to the island recently?" A clear female voice suddenly appeared next to him.

Luo turned around and looked, and he recognized those black eyes with just one glance. It was Arya! He was now extremely grateful that he had just listened to Pei Jin's suggestion, specially dressed up, and handed over his iconic plush hat to Bebo for safekeeping. With the sunglasses and mustache suit, Luo can guarantee that even if Arya still remembers him due to her super memory, she would never recognize him now.

Looking at the coat of justice on Arya's body, the last thought in Luo's heart to recognize her disappeared. The two of them are already in opposing positions, and if they recognize each other, they will only cause trouble for each other.

"I saw a group of children in the mountains to the north." Luo deliberately lowered his voice.

Only then did Arya notice that the person next to her looked strange. A pair of sunglasses covered half of his face, which was very suspicious. So she stared at Luo for a long time, but she didn't hear that he was lying. Then she showed a friendly smile and handed the photos of the abducted children to Luo: "Then take a look, are they these children?"

Luo looked at the photo and confirmed that it was the group of children he saw a few days ago: "Yes, that's them."

"Thank you." Arya turned around and handed the boss a wad of bills, "I bought this gentleman's drink."

Luo raised his eyes, curled the corners of his mouth, and raised his glass to Arya.

After getting clues about the pirates and the children, Arya fell into a dilemma. Should she go to explore the truth alone first, or should she go to Drake?

That guy Drake sent her to find out the news, and then led a group of people to search in the mountains. Didn't he blatantly blame her for holding him back? Arya reflected on herself and felt that she had been keeping her peace these past few days. She was just hitting wherever Derek pointed her out. She was extremely well-behaved, but as a result, this happened today...

Haha, who told them to abandon her and go to Nanshan? Arya calculated the round trip time. If she had notified them and came to rescue people, the pirates would have already moved their base with their children. God's will is so she happily decided to go to Beishan first.

—

Arya raised her knife and looked at the tall pirate leader in front of her with a troubled expression. In a circle near the two of them lay a group of pirates who had been beaten to the ground by Arya.

Derek might not believe it. In fact, she really just wanted to find out the information at the beginning, and did not want to destroy the entire opponent's group, but who said that group of pirates were too weak.

As soon as she arrived at the foot of Beishan, she heard the voices of the children, but not the pirates. When she climbed halfway up the mountain, she found the abducted children in a cave. She originally wanted to use her fruit power to take the children out quietly, but a very young child ran away without her noticing. He went out, and by chance, he bumped into the group of pirates coming back.

Arya couldn't leave the child alone, so she asked the oldest child to hide with the others first, while she went to find the child alone. She listened carefully and found that there were about thirty people on the other side, not too many. She was still sure of winning them. So when she saw the pirate preparing to attack the disobedient child, she immediately raised her knife and killed him.

The result was simpler than she imagined. The strength of this group of pirates was very average. Arya first snatched the child from the pirate's hands at lightning speed, and then eliminated all the other pirates like chopping melons and vegetables. In the end, only the pirate leader who seemed to be more troublesome was left.

"You just surrender, I'm in a hurry." Arya swung the knife.

"Little girl, you are too arrogant!" The pirate leader raised his giant ax and rushed forward.

Arya stabbed him with a knife. She found a gap in the opponent's ax that was swinging wildly like a rainstorm, and hit the opponent's shoulder with the knife. Then she shot the pirate's arm with another finger gun. The pirate let go of his hand in pain and the giant ax fell to the ground.

Everything was going smoothly until Arya wanted to raise her head and ask the other party to surrender. A very dramatic scene happened. Her earrings got tangled in the other person's hair, which looked like it hadn't been washed for dozens of days, and it hurt when she raised her head and pulled her earlobe.

The pirate leader also noticed this, and then he took a big step back decisively and picked up the giant ax. His movements were so fast that Arya didn't even have time to stop him with her voice.

Arya's earrings were forcefully pulled off, and her earlobe was torn instantly. The severe pain distracted Arya for a moment. The pirate seized this gap and slashed down with the giant axe.

Seeing that the ax was about to hit her head, Arya regretted for the first time that she had not listened to Kuzan's words. When she just had her ears pierced, Kuzan warned her that this kind of thing could easily be caught by the enemy and become a fatal weakness, but unfortunately she didn't take it seriously at that time.

Suddenly, something even more dramatic happened. The giant ax turned into a stone and hit Arya on the head. Arya reacted quickly and immediately counterattacked, knocking out the last pirate with the back of the knife.

She locked all the pirates with handcuffs, then turned around and hugged the child to chase the other children.

Luo in the distance pushed up his sunglasses, with the pirate's giant ax beside him.

—

As expected, Arya was scolded by Drake, and an angry Derek said that he would report the incident to Kizaru.

"Don't! Brother, I was wrong!" Arya immediately panicked, "Don't tell Teacher Polu, I will be overtimed to death!"

"Hmph!" Derek snorted coldly, turned around and led the team to the North Mountain to collect the heads.

Arya was left alone again, looking at the ceiling of the tavern and sighing. It seemed that she had been working overtime.

"Your ears are bleeding." Luo suddenly appeared in Arya's sight.

"It's you. It doesn't matter. Let it flow for a while and it will form scars." Arya waved her hand helplessly.

"I'm a doctor, let me help you take care of it." Luo turned to the tavern owner and asked for the medical kit.

"Then I'll trouble you." Arya smiled gratefully.

Luo originally wanted to treat Arya's wounds the same way he did when he was a child. He still missed the way Arya grinned in pain when she was a child, but in the end he held back.

"Why did you have so many ear piercings?" Luo counted carefully. There were ten ear piercings in total. It seemed that they had been pierced not long ago.

"To commemorate a friend." Arya suddenly thought of Sabo, who died young, and her expression instantly became lonely. "When I separated from him, he was about ten years old, so I had ten ears pierced."

"That's it." Luo responded calmly on his face, but he was quite uneasy in his heart. How did this guy know that I was ten years old? Could it be that he also "heard" it? Judging from her expression, she probably thought I was dead...

"Miss Navy." A young woman led the child that Arya had saved over. "Thank you very much for saving my child. Thank you very much."

Arya, who was very bad at handling this kind of scene, immediately pushed Luo out: "Thank him if you want. He was the one who told me the information."

"Hey! It's the person you saved!" Luo also resisted such a scene.

"Anyway, thank you both for your help." The child's mother covered her mouth and smiled.

The child approached Arya and tugged at the corner of her clothes, so she knelt down and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Sister, I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble." Tears welled up in the corners of the child's eyes.

Arya hurriedly wiped his tears, then touched his head: "It's okay, you were just scared. You will become brave when you grow up."

The child gave the comic book he was holding to Arya: "Sister, you are just like Sora, super handsome. I will become a handsome marine like my sister in the future."

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you in Marineland." Arya waved her hand and sent the mother and son away with a smile.

"It's actually a limited edition. It seems that kid really likes you." Luo glanced at the cover of the comic and sighed.

For some reason, Arya actually heard a hint of envy in it. She flipped through the comics and asked, "Who is Sora?"

"Don't you know Ocean Warrior Sora? This is common sense."

Arya was speechless: "This is just common sense in the North Sea. I grew up in Marineland, although I went to live in the East China Sea for a while."

Opening the comic, the synopsis of the story on the first page immediately choked Arya.

Sora, the warrior of the sea, leads the combined robot and the seagulls to fight against the evil Germa 66. Well, there is an indescribable feeling of familiarity. Isn’t this the navy and pirates? Why does Sora's seagull hat look so much like Mr. Sengoku?

"The other character settings are pretty average, but the invisible black one is quite interesting." Arya glanced at the character settings.

"You are still not a marine, and you actually like villains." Fair Reader Luo looked at Arya with a look of condemnation.

"You're wearing sunglasses, so I can't see you rolling your eyes." Arya shrugged.

—

For the whole afternoon, Arya sat in the tavern and read the book "Sola the Marine Warrior". Until Drake came back with his people, all the pirates had been thrown onto the warship.

"Why do you have this limited edition copy of "Sora the Ocean Warrior"!?" Drake suddenly became very excited.

"Even you like this children's comic?" Arya was shocked.

"Ahem, cough, can you lend it to me when you return to Malinfando?" Derek said with a blush.

"Okay." Arya agreed readily.

"Really?"

"If you don't tell Teacher Polu what happened today, I will lend it to you." Arya smiled brightly.

Derek struggled for a while and finally agreed.

In order to celebrate the rescue of the children and the capture of the pirates, the owner of the tavern specially treated the guests. All drinks tonight are free.

"Okay!" Arya jumped up first.

The navy led by Drake were all young people. Seeing that Drake had no intention of stopping them, they all became excited.

After a glass of whiskey, Arya, who shouted the loudest, was the first to get drunk. But it's not surprising, since she has never had a drink under supervision, so her drinking capacity is naturally very poor. But fortunately, Arya drinks well, and she can lie down without making a fuss even when she's drunk.

"Why would you join in the fun if your drinking capacity is so bad?" Luo suddenly sat next to her.

Arya squinted her eyes and struggled to recognize the person in front of her: "Why are you still here? I thought you had left."

"Of course I don't want to miss the party."

"Oh, I thought you weren't the kind of person who likes to party." Arya lay back again, "I actually heard wrong."

In fact, Arya was half right. He didn't hate parties, but he hated navy and government parties. So when Bebo and the others heard him say that he wanted to come back again, they all had expressions on their faces like Captain, you have been taken away.

He just wanted to come back and say goodbye to Arya properly.

Arya lay on the table, exposing the back of her neck, which had several faint scars. Luo unconsciously moved closer, trying to see the scar clearly.

Arya suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him with interest: "What are you doing?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to see if you were asleep." Luo was frightened and sat up quickly.

Arya's usually pale cheeks were now a healthy pink due to the alcohol, and her pair of star-like black eyes stared at Luo unblinkingly, making Luo's back hair straighten.

"Why are you staring at me like this?" Luo slowly backed away, unable to resist such a look.

Arya suddenly put her arms around his neck and pulled him close to her.

"Hey!" Luo was very psychologically disturbed by such an action, and secretly cursed that this person was still as bad as before.

"I think you look familiar," Arya said seriously.

"Huh?" Luo unnaturally looked away from her, and then pushed her head away with his fingers, "I didn't know you before."

"Really." Arya took out the notebook from her arms, and then took out the church photo from the notebook. She pointed at the boy wearing a spotted hat and holding a frog, "That's him, you See for yourself, don’t they look similar?”

Luo's eyes widened. It was obvious that he did not expect that this photo could still be found. He thought that it and everything else would be reduced to ashes in the fire.

"Have you been to Frevans?" After Luo drank a glass of wine, he finally found his voice.

"I passed by a few days ago."

"Aren't you afraid of infectious diseases there?"

"It's not an infectious disease, it's all a conspiracy of the world government." The drunkard said what he was thinking without any defense.

Luo choked up briefly: "Since you know the true face of the World Government, why do you still want to be a marine?"

"Otherwise? Do you want to be a pirate? Someone has to stand up and protect civilians. Being a navy does not mean that you have to listen to the world government. When I reach the top, I will definitely change this system." Ellie Ya played with the wine glass, but there was a very serious look in her eyes.

Luo raised his head and drank another glass of wine.

"What about you? You're not a doctor on this island, are you? Do you want to be a traveling doctor?" Arya turned to stare at Luo.

"I want to go to sea to fulfill my savior's wish. I want to know what freedom he is talking about." Luo stroked the group photo of the church, his eyes hidden behind his sunglasses making it difficult to see clearly.

Arya raised her wine glass and smiled sincerely: "Then I wish you all your wishes."

Luo clinked his glasses gently: "I hope you won't regret your choice."

"Doctor, what's your name?" Arya said, holding her head.

"You don't need to know, we are not companions anyway, and we will never meet again." Luo stood up and prepared to leave.

"It's just a name, how stingy." Arya muttered and fell asleep.

Luo started the room, and a spotted plush hat suddenly appeared in his hand. Then he put on the hat and walked towards the Polar Ship and towards his real companions.
