[comprehensive] red tide

The commercial street during the day is very lively.

Gorgeous sunlight slanted down from the dome of the buildings on the side of the street, and the fine light gold flowed all over the ground. Far above the sky, there was the sound of fluttering wings. Pedestrians came and went, with smiles on every face, and the atmosphere was peaceful. And cozy.

I hugged the little guy and swayed aimlessly, and the admiral was half a step behind on my shoulder.

The little guy hid his head in my arms, and a pair of small fleshy hands clutched my skirt, timidly, without the slightest excitement when going out in the past, let alone facing the calf fish yacht driving in the waterway Huh huh huh.

On the contrary, those creatures with strange shapes and gentle breaths swam to the shore spontaneously, their round eyeballs locked on the little ones, and they uttered strange calls from time to time, and left dejectedly without getting a response.

Along the way, the same scene happened repeatedly, until the Nth calf fish crossed the long waterway and got close to the shore, following the same steps for a long distance, the little guy buried in my arms turned his face and gave This little calf fish with particularly gorgeous patterns reacted a little.

First, he stared at the calf fish without the rein for a while, and the little calf uttered a short whine, with a heavy nasal sound, and he didn't look aggrieved.

The calffish floating on the water made a long cry, with a deep and deep voice, as if to ask, but also to appease; thus, the two unidentified cross-race communication, they also sang together, and had a vaguely happy conversation.

I watched this scene with a smile, and let the little guy in my arms lean out further and further, and followed my feet to the shore. Then, the little guy hugged the calf with his fleshy claws in a posture that would almost fall over. fish neck.

The little calf fish narrowed its eyes, with a strangely humanized expression on its face, um~ it seemed extremely happy.

…………

One big and one small two rubbed against each other, chirping and cooing, and it seemed as if small flowers bloomed in the surrounding air in an instant.

A cool breath came slowly, and I felt that the cute picture in front of me suddenly turned gray, and the pink flowers floating around the heads of the calf and the little guy cracked into countless pieces with a click.

"Ah la la~ the little lady will make the child fall out like this." The admiral stretched out his arm from behind, wrapped his arms around me and at the same time stuck his palm to the hand that happened to be on the little guy's stomach, "What a careless person!" Mother."

"Before teaching others, please reflect on yourself." I didn't turn my head, and my subordinates didn't struggle, I just quietly folded my arms and hugged the suddenly stiff little thing back into my arms, "Don't you know that the little guy is very afraid of you? General Aokiji."

"That's why it's so strange~" The man's chin stuck to the top of my head like a rascal, "I was very popular in the past, um~" While speaking, the other hand was placed in front of the open palm. a...

nipple? !It's still made of ice!

"What do you want to do?" Veins suddenly popped out on the forehead, and when I looked down, I saw the little guy also raised his face, with two tears rolling in his eyes, and his headache was even worse in an instant, "Your Excellency, can I trouble you—" A little more reliable?

"No, although I don't want to frighten the child." The admiral held the gadget with two fingers, raised his wrist a little, and said in a more incoherent tone, "But in that case, you have to stay away from the little lady, I I can't stand it."

The hand hanging in the air did not receive any response. After waiting for a while, the admiral muttered a few times, and released a few strands of cold air from his fingertips. Then the pacifier slowly changed its shape and turned into a round fruit.

"Is this okay?" He continued to move his hand towards the little guy, making a meaningless single sound from his mouth, like teasing a cat.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes to the sky, I don't know how to feel.

The fruit that this person transformed for the second time was exactly the same as the one that was fed to the little guy. He must have seen it in the room in the morning and noted it down.

But that's not the point, the point is: it's obvious that the thing formed by using his devil fruit ability is bitten by the little guy?What is the structure of this person's brain!

…………

As the cold fruit got closer and closer, the little guy burrowed into my arms more and more, his bulging body stiffened like a rock.

Just as I was thinking about how hard I should use my feet to kick the bastard admiral to the sky, I suddenly stretched out a big mouth obliquely, and wrapped a certain hand and the fruit together with a groan.

囧————— staring blankly at the blunt, weirdly shaped, animal mouth biting half of someone's forearm, the corners of my eyes twitched, I was silent for a few seconds, and my eyes climbed up bit by bit.

It was the calf fish that was originally close to the shore, stretched its neck to put half of the admiral's hand in its mouth, and was opening a pair of round eyeballs, looking very innocent.

"Eh? Ehh——" Your Excellency the Admiral obviously didn't expect this to happen, he paused for a moment, and flusteredly waved his hands up and down to try to get away, but the calf fish's head also moved up and down, very persistent .

My head was full of black lines for a while, but unfortunately the arms around my waist were as tight as iron hoops, otherwise I would have walked to the side and pretended to be passing by, lest the strange eyes projected from nearby would look at me as a joke along with me.

One person and one animal struggled with each other for a while, and the calf finally let go of his mouth after playing enough, and let out a whimper, with a hint of complacency faintly appearing in his eyes.

Half of the admiral's arm was wet and sticky, and even his sleeves were soaked through. He shook off the unknown liquid, and said nonchalantly, "Ah la la~ So you see, young lady, I'm still very popular. yes, right?"

"Stay away from me, it's all drool, you bastard!"

Caught off guard, the person who was kicked upright staggered, let go of his hand and retreated to the side, didn't say a word, just smiled shyly on his face, who knew that the next second, the little guy who was originally hiding in my arms turned around suddenly, A whimper rushed towards the admiral.

Eh!I was stunned for a moment by surprise...

"Eh?" The man's eyes widened in surprise, and he reacted quickly by raising his hands as if to catch the small shells, and then, he was bitten again.

The little guy imitated the admiral's hand, like a small dark blue turtle hanging on a fishhook... Stretching its neck, holding the target's finger in its mouth, its bulging body was suspended in the air, The short legs are still in my arms, (==).

And the guy who was gnawed twice in a row has a very good temper, with a kind expression that can be manipulated by others, and he said in surprise when he was free, "Ah la la~ Miss, the child is finally willing to let me hug her!" ~"

…………

The admiral's expression and tone can be described as surprise and joy, which caused countless glances in an instant.

The lingering sound made me dizzy for a while.

Ken let me hug~

let me hug you~

Hug~

Yeah ~

Is that a hug? ! (╰_╯)#

Endured and endured, finally swallowed the old blood that rose to my throat, I struggled to pull out a hand, rubbed the throbbing temple, put my hand down to protect the little guy's waist, and waited silently until the admiral's mouth was bitten. The strength was relaxed, and just now he exerted force to hug the little thing upright.

Xu Shi felt that he had finally avenged himself, and the little guy raised his head and babbled triumphantly at me, then turned his face away to chirp and goo to the calf fish who was quietly waiting by the side.

Although I can't understand the content of the conversation between the two, I can clearly feel it from the aura radiating out, um~ maybe they are exchanging some kind of experience?

After a while, the two chattered their teeth contentedly and no one could understand. The calf whimpered, reluctantly swam away with one step and three turns, and slowly disappeared at the end of the waterway.

The little guy nestled back into my arms, opened his small mouth and yawned, twisted a few times, his expression gradually became sleepy, but he refused to close his eyes, groggy and groggy, and opened his eyes suddenly after a few dozes. eyes, so repeated several times.

…………

"What's wrong with the child?" The admiral cautiously rubbed about half a meter to his side, then stopped and lingered, as if he wanted to lean in but didn't dare to continue.

I glanced at him blankly, and my subordinates patted the little guy's back, and replied in a good voice, "Going to sleep." After thinking about it, I turned to him and said, "Come here, since I'm going to stay close to you for the past two days, Let Pinocchio get acquainted with your breath now."

"Eh? Oh——" The man faltered a few times with a surprised face, hurriedly approached, and said in a small voice at a loss, "What should I do?"

I adjusted the position of the little guy so that the little guy's head was close to the neck, and then turned my head to stick to the little fleshy face, while signaling to the admiral, "Give the little guy a stroke on the back, just lightly."

After hesitating for a moment, he stiffly stretched out the hand that hadn't been bitten, and then I denied it, "Take another hand." Switching to the hand that has been stained with the little guy's saliva, the little guy will feel more at ease.

Speaking of it, I have to thank the calf fish just now. It is its personal demonstration that let the little guy know that the admiral is actually just a paper tiger, and it will not really do anything if it is bitten, so... ╮(╯_╰) ╭

This man acted according to the words, and put one hand on the back of the little guy, gently and slowly, as cautious and serious as treating a rare treasure...Flicking up and down, the strength is so light that it seems to be non-existent.

After watching quietly for a while, I turned my eyes away, looked at the sparkling water in front of me, and exhaled slowly, the breathing on the neck became even, and the little guy fell asleep.

The situation was as expected, the little thing began to accept the admiral's breath intruding into the safe range, no longer surprised, maybe not very at ease, at least no longer panic, which finally made me breathe a sigh of relief.

Presumably in the next two days, as long as there are no particularly serious emergencies, the little guy's condition will remain stable.

Recently, I fed the little guy fruit to strengthen the flesh and bones of this body, but after all, it was born with the help of a spell card, and the sense of existence itself is very subtle, and a slightly stronger external force can cause the little guy's body balance to tilt.

This is also the reason why I have never dared to let humans get too close to the little guy, and I restrain my hostility at any time, just for fear of accidentally killing the little guy.

However, there were frequent accidents yesterday. First, when the group of pirates were dealt with in the dark alley, the little thing was entrusted to the son of the hotel owner's natal family. At night, he dealt with the unknown spy at close range. Finally, the admiral of the navy attacked in the early morning.

Poor little guy, what a disaster.

…………

After a long delay by the waterway, the little guy was snoring and snoring, and now that he was making a fuss and finally calmed down, I actually forgot what I planned to do first before going out.

Holding the little meat ball, I stood there for a while, the corners of my mouth twitched, I turned my head, glared at the person next to me, and decided to leave the problem to him to solve.

The admiral looked puzzled.

The two looked at each other for a long time, maybe they could see something from my expression, he smiled lazily, "Come with me~ Miss." He stretched out his hand while speaking, the arc of the lip line seemed unexpectedly It's kind of gentle.

"The capital of seven waters is not only famous for shipbuilding, but also for its water and meat~"

"I heard that people who have tried it are full of praise, even if they leave here, they will never forget it."

"Even the Warring States Marshal likes it~"

"Miss, you don't know. Speaking of it, I took a big risk when I came here. Last time, Marshal Warring States threatened to let me see the gate if I ran around again—"

"Hey~ You said that when I go back, I will bring more special products or something to please my boss, will the punishment be lighter?"

The man who was half a step ahead was chattering casually, with a lazy tone and a low voice like a whisper, similar to the daylight at the moment, light and faint, falling under his feet, shattering the light and shadow all over the place.

On the corner of the street near the water, there are buildings with red tiles and white walls reflecting the sunlight, dense waterways like spider webs, covered bridges across the blue waves, and boats coming and going under the bridges.

Pedestrians pass by, shouting loudly, chasing and having fun with young children beside their families.

Occasionally a bird flies by in the sky.

I was a little stunned, maybe the sun was too soft, or maybe the island itself was time-space-disordered, and a trance hallucination rippled for a while, as if it was a long time ago. Noise on the street, peace and tranquility as far as the eye can see.

It was as if all the bloody, brutal, fighting and fighting disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if they never existed.

There was no intrigue, no treachery, no Meteor Street, no O'Hara.

Some are just the scumbag and rotten dead house many years ago. After being single for many years, they finally turned around and found a man for themselves to have a child, and they became an ordinary married couple.

…………

I unconsciously tightened my fingers, and the hotness in my palm responded quickly. I was startled, and suddenly woke up.

The admiral tilted his head slightly, covering the sun from a condescending angle, his eyes hidden in the shadows looked gentle, after a while he turned his mouth up, didn't speak, turned his head and continued walking, just...

His fingers tightened suddenly as the two held hands, and the grip was painful.

I lowered my head and let him lead me forward, lowered my eyelashes, and put away the momentary coldness.

This is the capital of the seven waters, the first half of the great waterway, this person is the admiral, Aokiji Kuzan; behind the hands that are holding each other, the other person seems to be gentle and hides a fatal danger.

I've always known, and I don't even need to retrieve bits and pieces of memory in my head.

Able to sit in the position of the general of the headquarters, no matter how loose and unruly the appearance, this one of the navy's highest combat powers, Aokiji Kuzan, insists on something in his bones that must be unshakable.

The ambiguous ending, the depth of whitewashing, and the hostile positions of each other cannot be confused.

…………

I don't know if some kind of celebration is being held, but I always feel that the street is very crowded today; being led to the center of the commercial street, I have no mood to continue, so I calmly walk and refuse to move forward.

The man couldn't help it, so he had to find a bench for pedestrians to rest somewhere on the side of the street, and after repeatedly telling him not to run around, he hurried across the waterway between the two streets. It is said that he was going to the house where he tried Go to the shop and buy the best-tasting shui shui meat in the capital of seven waters.

I put the little guy on my lap and lay down, protecting it with one hand. I loosened my free hand and raised my eyes to look around.

On the opposite street, the figure of that person really stands out from the crowd, standing in front of a shop with a particularly good business, looking back here from time to time, meeting my gaze, and giggling.

Pursing the corners of my mouth, I turned my gaze back a little.

There are a few small boats driving on the waterway two streets away. Because the little ones are asleep, the little calfs are behaving normally, obediently let them be controlled, and swim slowly.

Not long after, a pedestrian passed by in front of me, and at the moment when the figure blocked it, I could vaguely see beside the admiral... No, it should be two long ones protruding from a further place... What the hell?

Something like a rubber band clasped the counter in front of the store, and then a figure popped out suddenly.

"Ten parts! No, twenty parts of water, water and meat!" The jumping voice, with a slightly sugary texture, strangely pierced through all the noise, as clear as if it was close at hand.

A few seconds later, these passers-by walked by, I raised my eyebrows, and saw the admiral looking sideways to the people around me, and I didn't know what to say. The person I saw before looked like a child from a distance.

With a bright red vest, blue cropped trousers, and a straw hat hanging behind his back, he was lying on the counter, turning his head from time to time and grinning at the admiral.

Staring at the straw hat that I hadn't seen for many years, I slowly narrowed my eyes.

…………

What broke the confusion in my heart was an indescribable excitement.

First, there was an exclamation from far to near, and the girl's voice was trembling, high-pitched and angry.

"Luffy----"

Then there was a surge of water waves, and a small calf fish in the distance rushed like flying like frightened, scaring other small boats in this water area to run away.

In the end, there was a burst of turmoil that could be called ups and downs.

I don’t know how to make a fuss, all in all, the docile calf fish jumped out of the water like a rage, and with a heavy flick of its tail fin, it immediately threw the boat towed behind it to the shore, and by the way, the occupant was also thrown out, and then it was thrown out from the nose. With a blast of hot air, Shi Shi ran away.

Coincidentally, the final foothold that caused the commotion was right opposite the bench I was sitting on.

It was a girl who stood up awkwardly with her waist supported, bright orange curly hair, and a pair of eyes that seemed to be quenched, refracting light, very dazzling.

When I looked at her, the other party was also looking at me with curious eyes, and when she saw the little guy sleeping on my lap, she seemed to be startled, and her eyes softened even more.

After quietly looking at each other for a few seconds, the girl smiled and looked away, turned her head to look at the waterway, tightened the corners of her mouth, and her face became vicious.

After a while, another calf fish came to the shore, and two people jumped out of the boat, both young boys.

A green-haired, weirdly dressed man with sweatshirt and trousers, a bellyband, and three knives.

The other is in a suit and leather shoes, with light yellow hair, bangs covering one eye, and characteristically curled eyebrows.

The green-haired young man glanced at this side, walked a few steps without saying a word, walked towards the ball of hair that was thrown out with the girl just now, and stretched out his hands to help it up.

The fur ball eyes are turning mosquito coils, it looks like... from the horns protruding from the side of the hat, it looks like some kind of deer, but the blue nose... um~

Ok?

Just as I was looking at the blue-nosed creature curiously, a black shadow rolled past my eyes, followed by a cadenced voice like an aria.

"Ah~ beautiful lady, it must be destiny that brought us together."
