One Piece: Six Styles of the Emperor

Zoran returned from the Dragon Palace and happened to see Winnie who was staying at the Mermaid Cafe packing his packages according to the agreed departure time.

She floated around the room carrying the bubbles, her body was hunched down, her hands were busy, and the silver fish tail tilted back was swaying slightly happily, as if she could get overflowing joy just by packing her luggage. .

Since Winnie had her back to the door, she didn't notice that Zoren had returned to the coffee shop and was watching her from behind.

Clothes, food, and even daily necessities were all prepared one by one. Winnie neatly stuffed them into the already bulging backpack. The shirt she bought secretly at some time seemed to be afraid of getting wrinkled. After going in, he took it out uneasily, and repeatedly and carefully smoothed out every wrinkle on the white collar of the shirt with his slender white fingers.

Winnie's wife-like attributes made Zoran's heart loosen inexplicably as he walked in. The cold eyebrows on his face also twitched, but they soon returned to their original expressionless indifference.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he was quietly retreating towards the door at the back.

Just pretend that you didn't see the heart-pounding moment, go out, come back at another time, and say goodbye. This is probably the best choice, right?

"What are you doing?"

A cold voice came from the door. It was Xia Li, the owner of the store, who had also returned from going out. He saw Zollen standing at the door and said angrily.

"What, you want to escape?" Xia Li continued to ask, her beautiful eyes staring deeply at him.

"No."

Zoren frowned, deciding that he had no reason to feel guilty.

"Mr. Zoren."

Disturbed by the words of the two people, Winnie stood up from immersed in her luggage. When she saw Zoren, she hurriedly pulled her forward and said with a forced smile, "The luggage is almost ready. Look what's missing. Yes." I’m afraid I won’t be able to bring enough meat, so why don’t I add another backpack?”

"That's enough, I'm just leaving here." Zoran nodded calmly, as if to remind him, "In addition, you only need to prepare a set of clothes and food. The trip from Fish-Man Island won't take long. .”

He looked at the top layer of clothing in the backpack and continued, "There is no need for that shirt. I rarely wear formal clothes that have a sense of restraint."

"I know." Winnie smiled forcefully, lowered her head and face sadly, and intertwined her fingers together: "By the way, that, that -"

"Do you have anything to say?" Zoren said indifferently, with a deliberate alienation in his words, and the two looked at each other.

"I..." Avoiding her gaze in a panic, Winnie seemed to be choked, her pure and beautiful face blushed with shame, and she was so timid that she did not utter another word.

"If it's okay, then -" Zoron breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but before he finished speaking, Charlie next to him suddenly interrupted him and urged Winnie, "Winnie, if you miss this Once, there will be no chance in the future. I hope you will think carefully and don't leave any regrets in the future."

This sentence seemed to stimulate and inspire Winnie, making her take a deep breath, clasping her flower-like little hands, and the wavering look in her eyes turned to determination.

[God assists]

[reach consensus]

[Two women, one play]

【Accept the judgment of fate’s love】

A barrage of joyful comments erupted, and the vision above the eyelids pulsated.

"What are you talking about?" Zoron raised his eyebrows and stared at Charlie coldly. Unexpectedly, the person who had been persuading Winnie not to have too much contact with her would betray her at the last moment.

"Mr. Zollen, I have something to say." Winnie's breathing was rapid and her chest was heaving. She finally mustered up enough courage to meet Zollen's eyes again, and said shyly and seriously, "If you leave, can you Can’t you take me with you?”

"..."

Zoran fell silent. He had been born in two lifetimes, and his combined age was more than thirty years old. How could he not understand the girl's thoughts?

Because of this, he dared to fight any powerful opponent with both fists, but he was left blank and stagnant in the relationship between men and women, just like when he met Domino in Impel Down.

A blush appeared on the cheeks of Winnie's beautiful face, and she said firmly, "Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. I can cook, wash clothes, clean up... I can't do anything else." You can learn. As long as you stay with me, I can protect myself."

Speaking of the last sentence, the mermaid girl even had a hint of pleading in her weak words.

Zoran's heart was touched again, and he knew very well that for the shy and soft Winnie to speak to such an extent, he must be as low as dust.

"Winnie, I'm a human, you're a mermaid——"

Quickly thinking of a reason to refuse, he was about to say something when Xia Li, who was next to him, suddenly interjected, "Don't worry about this. When a mermaid reaches the age of thirty, her tail will turn into legs, and she can Walking on land like normal humans. Many female mermaids will choose to leave Fish-Man Island after the age of thirty and go to land to find humans to marry and live. So even if mermaids and humans are of different races, they can do that."

Hearing this, the corner of Zoron's mouth twitched slightly, and it was a little difficult to stay calm.

"Don't you have any feelings for Winnie?" Charlie snorted coldly, which made Winnie knead her hands even more shyly.

Just because I have feelings, I can't refuse decisively and coldly.

Zoran sighed secretly, looked at Winnie and said in a deep voice, "Winnie, listen to me. The path I have chosen is too unstable. I have to compete with strong men along the way. Don't think I have the ability to defeat Aaron. In the world outside Fish-Man Island, people stronger than Aaron are like a crucian carp crossing the river. The fact that I was seriously injured and fell into the sea is the best proof."

"In fact, even I can't guarantee whether I can reach the point of my ideal plan or whether I will lose my life in the middle." Zoron said mockingly, "For you, following me is too dangerous. .”

"I'm not afraid. Even if I die outside, this is the choice I made."

Winnie opened her eyes wide, her long black eyelashes trembling constantly, as if she was like a moth flying into a flame. In response, Zoren shook his head gently.

In rejecting Winnie, he was not just thinking about her, Zoron also had his own selfish motives - if there is a bond, there will be a weakness.

It is very clear that even if he does not admit his feelings for Winnie now, he will not be able to remain calm once something happens to her in front of him.

and so--

Zoren breathed out, looked at Winnie who was full of expectations, nodded and said, "If you want to stay with me, you can."

Without waiting for Winnie to burst into joy, he raised three fingers and continued, "But on this condition, a period must be added - three years. After three years, I will come to Fish-Man Island to pick you up. Before that, You must stay on Fish-Man Island and cannot leave the island’s territory for even a step.”

The three-year period also gave Zoran confidence that he would have enough strength to gain a foothold and protect others.

Thanks to one of the social workers for the thousands of [uncountable] rewards, Black Moon Shangfeng's 10000 rewards, Frowning and Smiling's 4000 rewards, Demacia and Noxus for the 1000 rewards, etc.

The amount of recent updates is really shameful. Coke promises to adjust the status and try to make up for it.
