Great writers and philosophers

Hotaru Nanaye insisted that Uchiha Itachi could only suspend the fine decoration of the room, brought the utensils over, washed the fruits and cut them into small pieces, put them on a fork, and put them on the table.

Qiye Ying chose a piece of flesh with a relatively complete spiral pattern, and then took a sip...

"vomit……"

Qiyeying covered her mouth to prevent herself from spitting it out, her face wrinkled into a flower roll.

Uchiha Itachi couldn't see her like this, so he quickly took the trash can over and said angrily, "I haven't seen it? If you feel uncomfortable, spit it out quickly."

After living together for a lifetime, what image do you still care about?

Nanaya Hotaru couldn't care less about responding to Uchiha Itachi, rolled her eyes, and chewed and felt all the taste of the Devil Fruit before swallowing it numbly.

The creamy pulp slides down the throat and into the stomach...

"Wow..."

Naya Hotaru buried her face in the trash can, and retched vigorously. Uchiha Itachi felt distressed and funny at the same time, so she wanted to say something, but felt that no matter what she said, Naya Hotaru would become more and more ashamed and angry, so she could only secretly sniggered.

After a while, Hotaru Nanayo, whose cheeks were flushed and her eye circles were red, raised her head with tears in her eyes, and looked at Itachi Uchiha, who had put away her smile a long time ago and looked worried.

Naya Hotaru, whose eyes were a little out of focus, looked at Uchiha Itachi in a daze, 1 puzzled, "Why do I torture myself?"

Uchiha Itachi kept the worried expression on his face perfectly, and comforted: "It's okay, if you need to describe the taste of Devil Fruit in the future, wouldn't there be something in it? If you think about it from this angle, it won't matter." So uncomfortable?"

Qiyeying put on dead fish eyes, "You overestimate me, I don't love literature to this extent, I am willing to be a deadbeat all my life... vomit... water... chili water! Vinegar! Anything messed up OK!"

Uchiha Itachi had no choice but to hold back a smile and go to the kitchen to soak Nanaya Hotaru in strong-smelling water.

After finally losing the taste in her mouth, Qiyeying leaned softly on the bed with a look of hopelessness, and of course she didn't plan to eat the remaining devil fruit.

Uchiha Itachi was aroused by her curiosity, but he didn't want to take the initiative to ask, lest Nanaya Hotaru would say "You will know if you try it yourself".But it turns out he was thinking too much.

Qiyeying didn't need those twists and turns.

"Uchiha-kun, why don't you try eating a piece too. This experience is really unprecedented. I think we have completed a thrilling adventure today."

Itachi Uchiha said in his heart, I don't want to eat it even more when you say that...

"You agreed to take risks with me, can't you afford it?"

"...You just want to see my face change?"

"You just read mine!"

"... Qiye-san, didn't you say that eating a devil fruit will give you abilities? Did you feel any changes in your body?"

"That's not the point, the point is that Qiye-san is a bad guy and wants you to be as miserable as me!"

Itachi Uchiha had no choice but to fork the smallest piece of pulp and put it in his mouth...

Uchiha Itachi turned his head and covered his mouth.

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha——!"

The gloating laughter echoed on the Emerald, the sea where the Emerald was located, and Uchiha Itachi's mind.

Uchiha Itachi quickly swallowed the terribly unpalatable thing in his mouth, and looked at Nanaya Hotaru with crooked eyes in astonishment, full of puzzlement.

"...What is this ability?"

"It seems to be the ability to control the volume and whisper." Qiyeying said with a smile.

(What a boring superpower...)

Itachi Uchiha didn't know what to say, so he didn't say anything at all. There was still that...unpalatable and disgusting taste in his mouth. He poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and suddenly closed his eyes and chuckled.

"Bastard."

The low voice vibrated the air and reached Qiyeying's ears. She grabbed her hair and shrank herself into the quilt with a whimper.

There was still a plate of fruit pulp left, but obviously no one was going to try it again. He picked up the plate and was about to throw it away, but when he walked to the door, his ears twitched and his footsteps paused slightly.

"... oh... oh... oh..."

what is this sound?

Uchiha Itachi's expression froze, and he quickly walked out of the cabin, went to the deck, looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a huge black fish hitting the red soil continent on the edge of the so-called Upside Down Mountain.

Transferring from the four seas, the only way for ordinary people is to go through the Reversing Mountain. Other routes, such as the windless belt and the red earth continent, are controlled by the navy and the world government.When they came back from the Great Channel, they entered the East China Sea, the nearest sea area. Since they were going to the North Sea, they naturally had to go through the Upside Down Mountain once.

Due to the unique currents of the Cape Twins in the Reversing Mountains, the seawater will be washed up the mountains - the water flows to high places, and ships can pass through the red land that blocks the four seas after sailing from there.

Uchiha Itachi squinted his eyes and looked carefully for a while, and noticed that there was a lighthouse under the Twin Cape, and there should be a lighthouse keeper.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Itachi was a little relieved, threw away the leftover fruit, washed the dishes, and then walked to the side of Kageko who was at the helm, "What's the situation?"

Ying Fen｜Shin shook his head slightly, "It's only a few minutes before we can berth. It's probably a Neptune."

Uchiha Itachi looked at the wound on the head of the huge fish caused by the impact, and said nothing.

Soon, the Emerald, which looked neither like a pirate ship nor like a passenger ship and merchant ship, stopped in the port of Cape Twins.

Itachi Uchiha kept his shadow｜watching the house, and went outside the lighthouse with Hotaru Nanayo who also found a big black fish not far away and came to spirit.

Under the towering lighthouse lay an old man with a strange haircut and wearing flowered underpants. He was lying on a couch reading a newspaper, turning a blind eye to the two people approaching.

"Hi, excuse me, are you the lighthouse keeper?"

The old man in flowered pants and flowered shirt pushed his reading glasses, raised his eyelids and glanced at Uchiha Itachi and Nanaya Hotaru, "What a strange combination. I am the lighthouse keeper Kulocas, what's the matter?"

Uchiha Itachi deliberately glanced at the huge black fish that was still screaming over there, "It's like this, we came here for the first time, and I was a little surprised to see that huge fish hitting the red earth continent just now, it is the king of the sea. Class? Does the Navy care?”

Kulocas squinted his eyes, but did not answer Uchiha Itachi's words, but asked, "Where did you come from?"

Itachi Uchiha glanced at Kurokas, and said honestly: "We came back from the great route, but we chose the wrong route when we came back. We are going to the North Sea, so we are going to go upside down again."

Kulocas said "Oh!" "A kid and a smaller kid, come back from a place like the Great Airway alone? You are not pirates, are you?"

"No, we are adventurers." Uchiha Itachi said calmly.

Qiyeying blinked her eyes, thinking that it was okay for her to act cute because of her age, "Grandpa, what is that big fish doing?"

"Rabu..." Kurokas looked at the huge island whale who was crying or weeping, and sighed, "This is about 36 years ago."

"At that time, I was also the lighthouse keeper on the side of Gemini Cape. Pirates in this sea would pass through Gemini Cape if they wanted to enter the great channel. One day..."

Next, Kulokas told them a story of a 36-year wait.

After the young island whales left the group, they encountered the Rumba Pirates.

Although they are under the banner of the Pirates, they are actually just a group of young people who love music and adventure. Their slogan is to play music that can make crying children smile.

The Rumba Pirates took pity on Rab, the island whale who fished alone, and regarded him as their companion. They sang and took risks together, and their lives were extremely happy.

One day the Rumba Pirates planned to take an adventure on the Great Route, but the Great Route known as the "Pirates' Graveyard" was too dangerous for the young Rab.So the Rumba Pirates asked Kurokas to help take care of the young Rab when they were here at Twin Point, and come back to see Rab again after they have finished their adventure from the great route and traveled around.

Yan Ji, the captain of the Rumba Pirates, patted Rab on the head, and said with a smile that they would come back to pick him up and go on an adventure together in two or three years at most.

They never came back.

"Rab has been waiting until the appointed time has passed, and finally lost his patience, ready to go to find his companions... But it is different from when it was a child, it is an island whale, and when it grows up, it is even as big as an island ...Its size no longer allows it to climb the Upside Down Mountain. So it can only hit the red soil continent day after day, trying to smash the obstacles, and swim to the great route to find the Rumba Pirates."

Kurokas sighed.

He has also told this story countless times in these years, just hoping that someone will know the news of the Rumba Pirates...even if it is just a little hope, the hope that Raab can let go...

But it has been 36 years, and he still has no news, Raab is still screaming, and the red land is still blocked between the ocean and the ocean.

Itachi Uchiha and Hotaru Nanaya didn't expect such a sad story behind the action of the big fish that seemed to be convulsing, and they were stunned for a while.

"How, how could this be..."

Hotaru Qiye covered her face and began to cry, Uchiha Itachi quickly regained consciousness, took out a handkerchief and knelt down to comfort her.

Qiyeying cried so much that she couldn't stop, and Rab's sad voice came from a distance. Qiyeying faintly felt that she could even hear it's long wait from Rab's voice. , to disappointment, to despair, to unwillingness to believe...

After 36 years, in the "Pirate Cemetery", is there still a group of unrepentant partners waiting to meet it again?

The more Qiyeying thought about it, the sadder she became, and the more she was coaxed, the more she cried, and finally she was out of breath and choked, hiccupping and crying.

Uchiha Itachi really had no choice but to delay the attack, "As long as the channel of Reversing Mountain is wider, Labu can enter the great route. Let's help it widen the route, shall we?"

Qiye Ying opened her eyes swollen into peaches, cried a little, and hiccupped.

Uchiha Itachi hurriedly said: "Otherwise, there are other ways, or let it forget Rumba..."

The black-haired, black-eyed young man shut his mouth and silently took back the wet handkerchief.

Qiyeying was so hoarse from crying, her voice sounded pitiful, "The Rumba Pirates must be gone, what should they do?"

Uchiha Itachi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, so he could only say: "There is no way, this is how things are, how can there be..." How can there be a good thing that is perfect everywhere?

Afraid that Nanaya Hotaru would feel sad again, Uchiha Itachi re-said: "Since we have entered the Great Route, Mr. Tiger has been adventuring at sea for many years, and Murloc Island is the only entrance to the new world from the first half of the Great Route. The Rumba Pirates circled the great route and had to pass through Fishman Island, so you can try to ask them if they have any impressions."

Asking about the past 36 years ago, the possibility of getting an answer is very slim, but it is a useful suggestion anyway. Qi Yeying pouted, nodded pitifully, and then ran to the Emerald with short legs.

Itachi Uchiha nodded slightly to the lighthouse keeper Kurokas, "I am laughing at you, we will come again after asking friends who live on the great route... But please don't have too much hope, after all, it was decades ago Maybe no one will remember."

Kulocas didn't know, sighed and put away the newspaper, shook his head and said, "It's troublesome."
