My partner in One Piece is Esdeath

Esdeath seemed to understand something and patted Annan with a smile.

"Don't be too impatient. My strength is actually about the same as yours. Don't always think that I will save you."

He put his arms around Annan's neck and said, "I let you go before because I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to bear it anymore and would jump into the sea or something."

"We agreed not to mention the dark history to each other..." Annan was overwhelmed when he heard Esdeath's words. He suddenly wanted to get up and take a few steps to relieve the embarrassment in his heart, but she hugged her too tightly, so he couldn't. Break away.

"Hahahaha... why are you blushing? Don't be shy."

Esdeath smiled and patted Annan, "But you were lifeless during that time, and you were not as cute as you were later."

"When I first met you, I was almost autistic. It's strange that I have a good attitude. If I had always been like that, you wouldn't be willing to let me be your partner." Annan said casually, "I guess we will be together soon." We parted ways.”

"Parting ways?"

After listening to Annan's words, the smile on Esdeath's face gradually disappeared, as if he was thinking about something, and the arms around his shoulders also relaxed.

After a moment, she shook her head.

"No, you're still mine."

An evil smile suddenly appeared on his calm face. He stood up and sat on Annan's lap, holding his cheeks with his hands.

He leaned forward slightly and opened the collar of his shirt to Annan, but he couldn't appreciate the deep mark now.

Ice blue eyes stared directly into Annan's eyes.

"You had already given up your life at that time. It was me who fished you out of the sea and saved you."

The white palms gently rubbed Annan's face.

"From then on, your life belongs to me, and you, the carrier of life, are mine."

"No one can take away what belongs to me, so you will still be by my side, but you won't be what you are now."

"It will definitely not be like this now." Annan said.

"The way we look now...are you not afraid of being seen by outsiders?"

"You're really shy." Esdeath chuckled, stood up and looked down at Annan.

"But you misunderstood what I meant." She said seriously.

"If you still have that 'autistic look', you will never have the strength you have today. At best, you are only worthy of being my subordinate. A person with no future potential is not worthy of being my partner."

"Ah this."

Annan looked at Esdeath with a wry smile, "You can even see this."

"If I didn't even know this, how could I drag you down to this level?" Esdeath said lightly.

"Although revenge can be used as a catalyst to increase strength, it is only temporary. If you want to improve further, you have to constantly hint to yourself and expand the concept of revenge to become crazy. You don't even know who is a friend and who is an enemy. In the end, it would be a good ending if he could set himself on fire."

"Of course, if you get stuck in the good things of the past, no matter how talented you are, you will only be able to stop moving forward in the end."

Esdeath looked at Annan, "It's not easy for you to be as strong as you are today."

"That's really not easy." Annan's mouth twitched.

"What's not easy? You can't understand the words, right?" Esdeath glared at Annan, "What about you, you're stuck in the past."

"Huh? Why am I stuck in the past?"

"You still don't admit it?" Esdeath knocked on Annan's forehead, "Now that I have some strength, I don't want to work hard. If this continues, I will be far behind."

Unlike being three times stronger and seven points weaker, in this world, being dark will indeed make you stronger, but what determines whether a person can become a strong person is often Schrödinger stuff like their will and dreams.

Needless to say, Esdeath has been instilled with the idea of ​​the weak and the strong since she was a child, and she also believes that becoming stronger is her constant pursuit in this life.

And what about Annan? As a time-traveler, my early experience was very bad and has become a shadow of my childhood. But he is very familiar with the broken things in this world, and he once had the idea of ​​​​"dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky."

But it is important for people to know themselves. Can Annan do it? It's definitely not spicy, I don't have that ability. So just look where you can and take care of it when you see it.

My biggest dream is to travel around the world. In order to realize the dream, strength and financial resources are indispensable, so Annan's pursuit of strength is not as strong as Esdeath.

"Everyone has his own ambitions. My pursuit in this area is not like yours." Annan defended.

"Really?" Esdeath tilted her head, "I know your biggest dream is to travel around the world."

"Yes." Annan said calmly, "Just how much strength can you get for a trip?"

"But can you guarantee that you won't encounter any trouble-making Shichibukai on your way around the world?"

"Clam?"

"Okay, even if you can deal with one Shichibukai who comes to stir up trouble, can you also deal with two or three Shichibukai who come to stir up trouble with you at the same time?"

Esdeath continued without waiting for Annan to answer.

"Even if you can deal with those seven lumps at the same time, if one of the Four Emperors takes a fancy to you and comes to fight with you, can you beat him?"

Which Yonko would pick a fight with me? Are you going to be the Yonko? Depend on! It seems there really is one.

Annan complained silently.

"Even if you can defeat one of the four emperors, can you defeat two of them at the same time?"

"Isn't that you?"

Annan said weakly.

"Please, that's the Yonko. If I get entangled and can't separate myself, and you're too weak, you'll be killed in one go. There's nothing I can do about it."

Esdeath spread her hands and said with a smile.

"Look, is it important to improve your strength? I haven't assumed that those four people will go together."

"What you said...makes sense."

Annan lowered his head and touched his chin thoughtfully.

"It seems that I'm not qualified yet."

"What's not up to par?"

Fashion walked in, "Everyone is here, you can set off soon."

"Thank you, Doctor."

Annan stood up and shook Stylish's hand, "I've been troubling you for the past few hours."

"Hahaha, it's okay. There will be many opportunities for you to trouble me in the future."

"I do not quite understand you."

Fashion looked at the cigar in Annan's hand and said with a smile.

"This ship was designed by me. It is Unit 1. Since it is Unit 1, it means that it has many areas that can be improved, such as..."

"Like what?" Annan asked.

Fashion took a few steps back and took out an umbrella to hold it up.

"Smoke detector."

"Wow!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large amount of water sprayed out from the ceiling above.

Annan was caught off guard and got drenched.

"Strength is reflected in the details."

After the water stopped spraying, Esdeath patted the ice beads on his body, "Now you know the gap between us."

"Miss Esdeath, Major Annan probably can't answer your question now."

Fashion put away her umbrella and said sheepishly:

"In order to save some unnecessary expenses, the water sprayed by the smoke alarm is directly used seawater."

"I know..." Annan lay on the floor with his legs in the air, "Hurry up and help me up."
