[One Piece] Tianlong people can't say no

Thumbs up. "I am surprised that I can still maintain a calm tone at this moment.

Before I came here, I was still reading the story of Cousin Tigrety. After Ace left, I felt the melancholy that I was no longer young. Emotions.

I ran over in a panic, and didn't bother myself much, and now my eyes are sore, I feel very embarrassed.

As I stare at Kuzan, I think to myself that most of my embarrassment is because of him.

It was hard for me to understand what I wanted, and obviously he also promised to be with me.I made a lot of preparations to deal with the government and the family, but I never thought that he would leave first.

"Are you going to abandon me?" I held back the words, waiting for his answer.

Kuzan was tall, blocking all peripheral vision as he stood in front of me.

"I will never leave you, little lady."

He took me in his arms, hard but carefully.

"Because I will always love you."

My heart jumped for joy again.They say that it is true that love makes people worry about gains and losses, and all the ups and downs of emotions are all involved by one person.

Kuzan kissed my ear, I shrank my head sensitively, and heard him chuckle, and the warm steam came in from my ear, making me tremble all over.

"Miss." He let go of me and took a step back. I opened my eyes slightly.

"You are a noble Draconian, even though I know you are different from them."

"I love you not because of who you are, but because you are my little lady."

"Sakalski and I had a disagreement early on, and we were destined not to work together—as soon as one of them took the lead, the other was bound to quit."

"I have to go, this is the way I will go. I will find my own justice in this wide world, no, to be precise, I will achieve it by myself."

Kuzan squatted down and grinned, which rarely made me feel a little naive.

But he quickly sank his face and looked serious: "After making this decision, I have been thinking about a problem...I can't guarantee whether this is correct, nor can I guarantee that I can completely ensure your safety,"

"Miss, this choice is simple and complicated. I only ask this time. It may violate my previous justice, but I want to be selfish this time—"

"Will you come with me?"

Kuzan held out his hand.

That hand is broad and powerful, and it has given me a sense of protection and security countless times. I know the rough, callused bumps that cause tremors when I touch my skin, and I also know that that hand can form a sharp ice blade.

I stared at it blankly, my palms were a little numb.

My heart kept clamoring: Put it up!follow him!

it's time.My father who was dying of a serious illness, my second uncle who seemed to see through everything but indulged me, Cousin Tigrity’s tombstone covered with golden ivy and the isolated island where it no longer rains.All the hustle and bustle went away together, and fate laughed and knocked down the pawn.

I looked up to meet Kuzan's eyes.

I realized that the time to fly that Cousin Tigretti, Heidi, and myself had been waiting for was today, this very moment.

"You are so long-winded, father Kuzan..." I muttered something to hide my shyness.

"Can I?"

Can I let go of everything and throw it all at you?

Kuzan wraps my half-lifted hand in his.

"Miss, you can do whatever you want."

Behind him is the setting sun that is still half exposed to the horizon, and the soft light forms a gentle veil to enclose the two of us.

I nodded vigorously and vigorously.

"I'll go with you!"

Even though we are still next to the headquarters building, we are not at all afraid of being heard.I seem to have roared out all my firmness and courage.

Recalling this evening many years later, I always tell myself: This is it, at this moment, I know this is the most precious thing I have in my life.And everything else about Menaras and about Marie Gioia is just a superfluous dream (2).

It was as if I was finally freed from an unsuitable cage, and the moment my hands were held, I felt more relaxed than ever.

I believed, and still believe so passionately, in this emotion, and in this very different path that was about to take.

I shook our hand: "Kuzan, do you remember my cousin?"

He led me to the still closed coffee shop on South Street, where there were tables and stools.

"It must be Don Quixote Palace who passed away unexpectedly ten years ago."

I leaned on his shoulder: "Yeah."

"You know what? Sakalski likes his cousin...but I knew from the beginning that they couldn't be together."

"O'Hara is the difference between my cousin and him... Great, it's really great that I have no conflict with Kuzan."

Kuzan rubbed my head.

"I've been thinking about what Cousin Tigrety said to me and every choice she made these days. Those clues all point to one direction, which is the world."

"Cousin Tigreti, Cousin Rosindy, I still don't understand what they are after. The government is too annoying, everything is covered up to keep people from getting the truth, but I will know one day of!"

"So... come with me to find the truth, Kuzan!"

Kuzan bowed his head and yawned, but he replied sincerely: "Okay."

So I went back excitedly and simply packed my luggage.Sola sent me to the gate all the way. She looked at me with familiar eyes that knew everything, and told me that she was about to leave too.

She wrapped a clipped piece of golden ivy around my sleeve.I squeezed the golden leaves with my hands, and let out a slow breath.

I sat on the back of my bike and hugged Kuzan around the waist as he pedaled across the ocean, leaving behind glistening ice crystals.

Behind him, Marin Fando and the Red Earth Continent are getting farther and farther away, gradually getting smaller and invisible.

We elope on such a starry night... I know we are all free stardust.

1.1

Shanks sometimes feels inferior to his younger self.

He actually understood in his heart: This has nothing to do with the hesitation when he was young, it's just that there are too many things between him and West Asia.However, until a long time later, when drinking, he still couldn't help thinking: If they had met earlier...

At this time, it was not long before the end of the war at Marin Vandor, and the news of General Aokiji's resignation was only circulated among some people, and even fewer people knew that General Aokiji, who left Marin Vandor, brought a Miss Tianlong with him.

The Redvers stopped at Allahia Island, a famous winter island with cherry blossoms in the New World.

Three years ago, the residents of Anla Oya were rescued by the red-haired pirates from other pirates. After a series of complicated events, the lord of Tettle City on the island took the entire island to belong to Shanks.

Even in September, the snow in Anla Oya still does not stop, and the cherry blossom trees pave the way along the street in pink and white, which looks like a color-changing carpet or floor tile pattern.

Shanks had been drinking with Beckman and others in Tettle's busiest tavern, but he waved his hand and left alone after answering a phone call.

The tavern was very noisy, and only Bloom and Lagilu who were sitting next to him, and Beckman who hadn't sat down nearby were forced to listen to the "secret".

Lagilu touched Beckman with a huge beer glass: "The boss is so pitiful."

He might be joking when he said this, Beckman swallowed the cold liquid, squinted his eyes and took out a cigar: "It's a pity."

He bit the end of his cigar and made a muffled click.

"Girl Xiya is courageous." He exhaled a puff of smoke.

Lagilu looked at his somewhat disappointed face through the thick white smoke, and picked up a new glass of snow beer.

"Aokiji is also very courageous, heh..." Jesus rolled his eyes: "This is an unheard of combination, right? The admiral resigned and abducted the nobleman above him."

He pointed to the top of his head.

"You heard that too, Jesus Bu."

Bloom shook the wine glass, the golden liquid inside swirled around, and new bubbles rose from the top layer.

"Hey, the boss won't die alone, right?" He thought about Shanks' usual behavior, and was really worried.

Here, Shanks didn’t know that he was talked about by the crew again, so he went to the small park of Tettle alone with a bottle of vodka—most people went to the big park Inu with more facilities. Flowers are especially appreciated, so the ancient and narrow small park Ibri was left out.

Shanks looked at this half-designed park for a while, and to be honest, it really looked like the courtyard of a big family.With a single jump, he jumped from the ground onto the cherry tree in the middle of the park.

There are not as many cherry blossom trees in Ibri as Inuit. There are sparse petals on the ground, and large gaps reveal the thick layer of white snow below-no one has come to shovel the snow recently.

The three-story residential building next to it is just about the same height as the central tree, and Shanks is lying on a thicker branch.

He took a few sips of wine, but his sight never fell on the precise point, it was a little misty, and the fine petals embracing the snow in the air seemed to be just phantoms.

Until one fell on his snow-soaked hair.

"Huh? Cherry blossoms in the snow? Okay, then you must remember to take me to see it in the future!"

Joy is hidden under the calmness, and the gentle voice seems to be right next to my ears.Shanks is very familiar with this.

Shanks leaned the wine bottle against his chest, freed his hands to pinch the dangling petals from his hair: "In the future..."

The snow got bigger.
