[comprehensive] red tide

Well?I was stunned for a few seconds, and I twitched the corner of my mouth, "Sorry, I was too anxious."

In a moment of excitement, I forgot the common sense not to mess with others, especially the Lieutenant General who has been fighting in the battlefield all year round. He has restrained himself by throwing me out unconditionally...

"Ah—then what, you found that child?" I opened the corner of my mouth with difficulty, showing a smile, and I quietly tried to withdraw my claws, "Track the Poison Ivy Pirates in reverse..."

The fingertips barely left the soft cloth attached, and in the next second, someone grabbed the wrist, with a wide and warm palm, gently pressing the snail bone's tiger's mouth and finger pulp with rough calluses.

Eh?I was taken aback for a moment, and then I noticed that the man tightened his fingers slightly and then let go in an instant. I withdrew my hand, and he turned his face to the golden cage, as if nothing had happened.

After a long time, so long that I thought the conversation would end without a problem, the Lieutenant General, who was as silent as a statue, spoke again. He said, "I thought you would hate pirates extremely."

"Ah? I often hear people ask this question recently." I rubbed my chin, thought for a long time, then shrugged, "I don't hate pirates, I even respect that king."

So it's really strange. I remember that Captain Red Heart asked me a similar question. When I met the North Sea magician, the unknown admiral was also very surprised, "Where did this rumor come from?"

"You're really... just killing them all, right?" After a pause, he glanced over quickly, and then asked again, "So you don't hate the Navy?" His tone was very flat, as if asking It was a very ordinary question, just a pair of hands on the knees that were closing into fists at a very slow speed.

I lowered my eyes and stared quietly at the protruding knuckles on the back of his hand. After a long time, I turned away my suddenly sour eyes, "I don't hate it." But I couldn't like it either.

"It's just a different position."

Yes, it’s just that the positions are different... I closed my eyes, took a long, deep breath, and forced myself to suppress the sea of ​​flames that vaguely appeared in my mind many years ago that would burn through the sky.

…………

"are you OK?"

"It's nothing." While opening my eyes, I turned my head to avoid the protruding fingertips of the person next to me, and I pursed the corners of my mouth, "I'm hungry, I didn't eat enough just now."

As a result, the man was stunned by surprise, and then showed a shallow smile, "Thirty tables of food are still hungry, it really is a difficult guy to raise." As if he didn't notice my rejection, he still reached out with his hand , touched my cheek lightly with the back of her finger and quickly retracted, "If you have the opportunity to go to the food island, you must be reluctant to leave."

The way he smiled was unexpectedly soft, there was a thin tail line at the corner of his eyes, and he looked at people with a look of indulgence, "Do you want to lend you the permanent pointer?"

Blinking my eyes slowly, I was stunned for a long while, and then I came back to my senses, "It's not that I like to eat, but..." I always feel that my cheeks are itchy... Lieutenant General, you...then what...

I looked away with some guilt, and I rubbed my forehead subconsciously, "When I was a child, I got separated from my adoptive father once, and I almost starved to death, but later it became a habit, and I had to swallow everything I saw to feel safe. "

"Has Lieutenant General been hungry?" In order to ignore the gradually disordered heartbeat, I began to ramble on, even I didn't know what I wanted to express.

"I couldn't find anything to eat for a long time. I was so hungry that I wanted to tear off my own flesh and blood and swallow it. I bit my wrist, but my teeth only gnawed on a layer of skin and bones..."

"Without strength, you can only lie down and wait to die. What's even more frightening is that you know that there are people hiding nearby waiting for you to die, or lose the courage to live, and then you are their food..."

That was the deepest nightmare in a corner of my heart, and it was also that time that my ability was finally finalized after I went berserk, before the old liar came over to clean up the mess.

…………

"No, I'm fine, I know that's all in the past."

Raising my eyes, I smiled dryly at the Lieutenant General who stood up from my seat and walked in front of me, "I'm sorry, but I said something incomprehensible. In fact, being alive is the greatest luck."

The man didn't move and didn't speak, just bent slightly, stared at me quietly, with a vertical line between his brows, maybe because he got close, I smelled a mixture of tobacco and a touch of alcohol.

After being silent for a long time, this man just said, "You have been missing for 20 years..." His voice was low and hoarse, trembling slightly, he pursed his lips in the middle of speaking, the light in his eyes changed rapidly, and finally settled down without any emotional fluctuations, he He straightened his body, and in an instant he returned to the time when we first met, with a hard and indifferent expression.

"I'm sorry, Lieutenant General, my 20 years were dull and boring." I snorted, and slowly stretched out my hand to grab the fist of the man in front of me, which was hanging so hard that the knuckles turned blue and white, "Although there is no way to exchange Information, but for the sake of being deceived by you several times, tell me about Nana, okay?"

"As long as she is alive, there is hope, isn't it? No matter what happens, as long as the child is alive, only the living can have an infinite future."

When my fingertips touched that piece of dry and warm skin, I clearly felt that the other party moved slightly, as if trying to break free, but the strength was so weak that it could be ignored. When my palm covered him, he stiffened for a few seconds, then let go of his fist, and turned his hand back. Hold it up, and no longer resist my five fingers squeezed into his fingers.

"You're so cunning, you bastard." The man sighed lowly, and finally there was a wave between his brows, as if it was guilt, but more of helplessness, "Obviously you know everything, but you are not the one who turned against the general in the end." ?"

"Who used my life card to trick the warships around? The major generals in the branch were scolded enough." The tone seemed slightly angry, but the smile gradually tainted the taste of joking, "The life card should be returned to me. Bar?"

"Eh? Isn't that a souvenir from the Lieutenant General?" I squinted at him and hummed twice, "I thought it was a date note, but it was sneakily inserted in the book, who knew it was just a small corner of paper. , water cannot soak through fire and cannot burn.”

His expression choked, "Of course the life card will not be damaged unless I die." Then he turned his eyes away and said in a hoarse voice, "Keep it if you like it." He unconsciously tightened his five fingers while speaking, "If a certain day it will be reduced to ashes..."

"I'll throw it away." I interrupted him. "I'll keep it until then, and I won't use it to confuse people again."

After a brief silence, the man smiled a little self-consciously, "Alright, that's fine."

…………

After a moment of silence, the two let go of their hands at the same time.

I hid my hands in the pocket of the cloak, and when I touched something, I immediately clutched it tightly like a straw in the hands of a drowning man, but this man seemed to have nowhere to put his hands, and put them into his pockets for a while, then pulled them out again, By the way, he took out the cigarette case, lit a cigarette for himself, and turned sideways, not knowing where to look.

I then turned my eyes away and stared blankly at a certain point in the air, feeling a little dazed.

Yes, that's good... and that's the only way to be good.

The flame that burns in an instant has no other ending except for annihilation in an instant.

The people on Meteor Street have always been greedy by nature.

Give me kindness, give me warmth, once I taste the sweetness, I will be like a tarsal maggot, and from now on I will not allow a single bit of wrong treatment, otherwise, the price of betraying me is to pay with my life.

But he's a soldier...

In order to prevent the Lieutenant General who accidentally disagreed with his position, and one day die because of inadvertent entanglements, I can only take a step back and distance ourselves from each other.

…………

After a while, the lieutenant general, who was smoking quietly, suddenly said, "The child you are looking for."

"Huh?" I came back to my senses, turned my gaze back and saw this man's expression was hesitant. After a long while, as if he finally made up his mind after several struggles, he crushed the cigarette butt on his fingertips, and his tone became stern, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay, I probably guessed what's going on." I sighed softly, "Your lieutenant general, you don't have to feel embarrassed. On the contrary, I really appreciate such a lieutenant general."

"Whether it is the Chambord Islands or here, it is the responsibility of the lieutenant general to test several times."

"You are an admiral, and I am a wanted criminal, even though..." I let out a long breath, I swallowed what should not have been said later, and changed the subject, "I always remember a certain country, its army The inscription cast on the monument with life."

Pausing for a moment, I pursed my lips and said in a deep voice, "My honor is loyalty."

He was slightly startled, his eyes slowly opened wide, and the light in his eyes flickered.

Looking at the man's deep and tough eyebrows, after a while, I bent my eyes and said to him with a smile, "Is Nana involved in the incident where your navy came to the Muse this time? Lieutenant General, we You're going to be an enemy again~"

He was silent for a long time, and finally said coldly, "You are right, my honor is loyalty." He straightened his back like a subconscious, his expression was indifferent, "When I really act, I will not show mercy."

The last trace of softness in his eyes disappeared, and this person seemed to have finally got rid of the redundant emotions, and he turned back into the strong, brave and fierce iron-blooded soldier who was unmoved by foreign objects when they first met in Chundao Huazhou.

…………

I turned around and walked slowly along the direction I came from for a long distance. At this moment when the snow-white door separating the two spaces inside and outside was already within reach, I stopped involuntarily and looked back.

The light and shadow behind him are ambiguous, but in a certain corner, a bright ocher red still stays quietly, and the sight is full of prosperity. The man's back is straight like a pine, and an invisible high wall seems to be erected around him, driving away sensuality and luxury.

In the interlacing of light and dark, his cold and hard breath also took advantage of the trend to silence all unnecessary accidents.

The fingers on the paper door tightened subconsciously, and after a while, they loosened again. I sighed lowly, exerted force on my wrist, and dragged open the door leading to another direction.

…………Dividing line…………

What came to my face was a burst of noise, mixed with the muffled sound of something being smashed, and an angry shout that sounded quite young, passing through the vague shadows blocking my vision, and reaching my cochlea.

"Hand over that bastard woman!" Her voice was raised high, full of embarrassment and anger.

This voice... sounds familiar?Slowly swaying out from the paper door, I leaned in front of the wall blocking the exit, and patted the shoulder of the nearest person, "Ah? Why is it so lively?"

The person blocking the line of sight was the member of the Red Flag Pirates. Hearing the sound, this powerful man suddenly turned his head and met my gaze. A moment of relief flashed across his face, but he didn't speak but moved aside. Let me see clearly what is happening inside.

First of all, I saw Beibo, the little orange white bear, tugging on the sleeve of the first officer of Red Heart. One bear, one bear, and Captain Chiqi all looked forward with solemn and extremely alert expressions.

And what drew them into the state of preparation for battle was a fried bun that was white and tender, no, it should be said that it was burnt and obviously angry.

The little sumo wrestler with short bangs and short hair was carrying a huge axe that was definitely taller than himself by visual inspection. The tip of the blade was pointing straight at the little white bear and the red heart mate. sawdust.

Hmm—this is a door-to-door search for revenge. If you can't cut someone, you should smash the table first, right?

"What about the woman? Hand it over!" Xiao Jianbao's eyes were extremely ferocious, and he gritted his teeth in disgust, "It's okay if you don't hand it over, I'll cut you off first!"

The fluff all over the little white bear exploded, probably because he was so frightened by the axe, his eyes suddenly filled with water.

"Ah?" I raised my hand slowly, and when many eyes suddenly turned here, I said very calmly, "Didn't you say that the Muse does not allow fighting?"

"Where is Mr. Charles? Hurry up and call him to make a complaint."

As soon as the words were finished, the little white bear rushed over. It still remembered not calling my name or even my nickname, but as it moved, there were countless onomatopoeic words [咩咕咚] floating back and forth in the air.

…………

I caught this round bomb named 'Beibo' safely along the track, rubbed its head, then hid it behind me, and pushed it further away. Forget about Bo, if you dare to rush over, I will beat you."

Mr. Pei Jin, the first mate of Red Heart, shrugged, put away the eagerness on his face, quickly backed away with his feet, and pulled the Captain Chiqi who was confused, and vacated a lot of space at once.

A bunch of embarrassing goods!Passed a dead fish eye over, and then I turned my attention to the little sumo wrestler's face, "Oh~ it's that little boy who smelled delicious~"

Raising my eyebrows, I looked at the other party up and down for a while, and I licked my lips maliciously, "What do you want from me?"

The little sumo wrestler's face turned red for a while, then turned livid, and finally turned pale again. He changed several expressions in an instant, and gradually began to tremble together with the ax he held in his hand.

Before the little boy who was trembling like an epileptic seizure said or did anything, I heard the red heart first officer complaining to the captain Chiqi in a rather loud voice, "This guy will come back with BT once he goes out, why not?" Did you lose money?"

Lose you big head ghost!Crow mouth! "I've won money, okay?" I raised the bulging bag in my hand, and I gouged out the first mate of Red Heart and the captain of Red Flag, "Even the principal and interest are enough to bury you!" These chips that hadn't been redeemed in time, Change it to the smallest denomination coin, and you will be killed if you hit it, Hun Dan!

"Ah~" First Officer Hongxin stared at the bag for several times with bright eyes, and then showed a look of sudden realization, "Then you must have been dumped, the casino is proud—"

He shook his head as he spoke, with a look of 'you finally have such a day, it's so satisfying'.

I trembled, and trembled again, and took several deep breaths before suppressing the thought of letting that guy die. I gritted my teeth in a gloomy manner, and turned my anger to the little sumo wrestler who had been silent for a long time.

"Little devil, you have had a hard time coming back, haven't you brought 1000 million Kimberleys with you~"

Venting anger is a virtue.

Annei also had to fight outside first, and after packing up and delivering it to the door, he turned around and tore the mouth that was as hated as his captain into eight pieces.

Tsk-tsk twice, I narrowed my eyes, "It looks really messed up, the guy who made up your mind is following you?"

Pirates are all gangs that like to do business without capital, and this bun is obviously a cub. When I saw him walk away angrily, I guessed that there must be a robbery.

Although the little bun can watch with two guys, but it can't stand the crowd, can it?

…………

What answered me was a cold light across the air, the ax raised high, the blade cold and sharp.

[Boo] A short and dull impact.

A few lines of afterimages opened and closed vertically and horizontally, and they were fleeting. Two seconds later, after my vision stabilized, what lay before my eyes was a jet-black scabbard engraved with cross patterns all over.

The handle of the knife with a circle of raw edges is held in its owner's hand, with slender and strong fingers with well-defined joints, and the blue tattoo starts to coil around from the back of the hand, and finally disappears under the cuff.

Trafalgar Law stood behind me, with his outstretched arm resting on my shoulder, "Who can tell me what happened?" His voice was clear and clear, and his tone was lazy and casual.

"Head." This is the very calm red heart first mate.

"Captain~" This is the very excited little white bear Beibo.

"Yeah—that's really strange...Young people's skill is much higher than the bounty~"

This... is the eccentric Admiral of the Navy.

In just a split second, Trafalgar Law's Nodachi Devil May Cry scabbard could barely withstand the tip of the attacking axe, and the young sumo wrestler was carried back to a safe distance by the flashing Lord Admiral.

The treacherous general Huang Yuan said in a horribly slow tone, "Oh~Charles, my kid is a little lively, sorry~"

The little sumo wrestler with teeth and claws was hanging between the fingers of the tall and thin admiral, his fleshy face was flushed, "Master!" The angry expression immediately died down after Admiral Huang Yuan glanced over.

"Hahaha~ You really are a very energetic child." The guide of the Muse, who was standing not far or near, smiled pleasantly.

…………

Following the admiral and the guide, these two seemingly old-fashioned and cunning things began to exchange greetings, and the scene rushed in a strange direction.

Trafalgar Luo snorted, retracted the arm that hurt my bones, first caught the little white bear Bepo, then nodded to Captain Chiqi, and finally squinted over, "I just met Charles below. , I just realized that the red heart actually has a place on it."

Although he smiled gently, I just felt the hair on the back of my neck stand on end, "This is for you." I hurriedly handed over the bag that I hadn't hidden in time, "It is said that the Muse happens to have ammunition suitable for underwater attacks."

Blinking my eyes, I smiled without changing my face, "Mr. Charles is willing to introduce the seller to us~"

After taking the bag and weighing it, Trafalgar Luo's expression turned brighter when he heard me say this again, "Peijin, exchange them, and meet Xia Qi."

Throwing the bag to the deputy, the captain of the Red Heart turned his head and raised his chin, "Bepo is also going, some parts of the Hart will be replaced during the next maintenance, you go and have a look."

In a few words, one person and one bear will be sent away.

Immediately afterwards, Captain Chiqi asked several of his subordinates to leave with First Officer Hongxin, and the reason he used was also to purchase ammunition and accessories for the ship.

…………

In a blink of an eye, there were only three people left in the two seats of Hongxin and Chiqi. The two captains looked at each other, wondering if they had exchanged some understandable thoughts. After that, the two turned around and found their own seats to sit down.

Looking around, I found that Charles was mixed with the admiral and his party, smiling and dimpled as if he didn't pay attention to the situation here. I looked away, touched the side of Captain Red Heart, sat down cross-legged, and raised my eyebrows.

"If you can't find it this time, there will be another time. Mr. Trafalgar need not be too anxious."

Captain Red Heart paused imperceptibly, his eyes darkened, "It seems that nothing can be hidden from you?"

While speaking, he supported the Nodachi on his legs with his elbows, his fingers formed a steeple shape, his eyelashes drooped, and he showed a little bit of disappointment, "Forget it, you are right, there will be another time."

After a moment of silence, he curled his lips again, "Charles mentioned something very interesting." The squinting eyes seemed to have a different meaning, "It can be seen by the most famous broker on the Muse , it must not be an ordinary treasure."

"One hundred million, the base price." I nodded and admitted generously, "What does Mr. Trafalgar think?"

Seeing the sarcasm in Captain Red Heart's eyes, I shrugged, "Although the Muse does not allow new guests to participate in the auction bidding, I believe Mr. Charles doesn't mind doing a little favor."

"For um~ the treasure that fascinated him."

…………

"Your adjectives are really terrible." Trafalgar Luo raised his hand to support his forehead, with a headache on his face, "I didn't realize you were so interested in the auction."

"Hmm~ I just found out that I'm a shopaholic." I smiled, turned my head to look at the next door, and slowly narrowed my eyes, "I just don't know if the things in my hand are enough to attract the attention of competitors."

Comparing the blueprint of "part of ancient weapons" in the mouth of the first officer of the red heart, which item will the navy choose at the auction?

Or, does he want both?

The unfinished meaning in the words of the Lieutenant General, what is the relationship between the child I am looking for and the Navy's secrets?

All have no clue, can only play by ear.

I know that after the answer is revealed, it will definitely not be good.

I believe Captain Redheart has also noticed this. Trafalgar Law is a very sensitive person. He must have noticed the danger from Charles' attitude on the way here, otherwise he would not have hurriedly sent away the man and the bear.

It's just that Trafalgar Law is willing to stay, which really surprises me.

Well~ Captain Chiqi surprised me as well.

But forget it, there is always a solution.
