Great writers and philosophers

Anping, a sea bream fishman, and his human wife, Nana, met a giant woman who used the sea as a swimming pool by chance during their sea adventure. She fell in love with a man on a small island, and she never left there. The sea area where the small island is located.

People on the island say that there are terrifying giant beasts in the sea. Although they have never been harmed, they are so afraid that they make up countless horror stories to dissuade those children who dream of becoming the One Piece King.

"...

"When I saw him, it was like I had albinism. I couldn't bear it."

Jojo, a giant woman, has a huge figure, almost like a hill, and her soft and sad expression looks thin on her broad face.

Her voice is like the roar of a sea monster, which will set off a thousand layers of huge waves.

Anping had never heard of albinism, but Nana knew what kind of disease it was.

Once upon a time, there was a kingdom like a fairy tale, where people lived carefree and extremely happy, but suddenly one day, the devil set his sights on this country favored by the gods, so he poisoned the country and made them rely on it. Everything that takes life becomes poison.

Toxins gradually accumulate in people's bodies, and the external manifestations are that the skin turns white and the internal organs are eroded by the poison, causing great pain all the time, making life worse than death.

In the end, the country died in great pain, and no one remembered that there was a beautiful kingdom in which many happy people lived.

Albinism is suffering.

Qiao Qiao looked at the small island floating on the sea in the distance, there was a small town on that island, and there was a little human in that small town, who took care of her tenderly and warmly to protect her when she became smaller due to an accident , before she was about to leave, she asked the other party what she wanted in return.

The slender and smooth body of the juvenile swordfish is a healthy wheat color in the sun. It looks like the legendary honey. Qiaoqiao has never eaten honey, but as long as she looks at the boy, her heart is like soaked in honey water. inside.

"Of course I have to repay you. You eat too much. Which family can afford you..." Qiao Qiao widened her eyes angrily. Grabbing her hair, her voice was as soft as if she was afraid that the air would blow her away, "...but I'm very good at fishing, do you want to think about it?" Pay yourself to me.

Anping and Nana sat on Jojo's shoulders, looking at the distant island with her.

Nana asked Jojo, "Why didn't you agree?"

Qiao Qiao's voice was very soft but also very loud, "He can't support me after I regain my shape."

Nana felt that this was not an answer, "You don't need him at all, do you? Don't you like him?"

Qiao Qiao didn't speak, but pulled the sea water around him with his hands, and ripples rippled towards the distance.

For human beings, the sea, which is a big wave, rippling away, towards the small island.

Nana looked at the wave after wave approaching the small island, and suddenly understood how in countless days and nights, Qiao Qiao set off waves time and time again, silently watching the rolling waves approaching the town, looking forward to There is such a small wave that can bloom in the eyes of a young man who goes out to sea to fish.

Anping, the iron straight fish who proposed to his wife as soon as they met, couldn't understand what Qiao Qiao was thinking, "Although it is difficult for giants to live with humans, how will you know if you can do it if you don't try? You just keep hiding like this." In such a far place, too far away, your feelings can't be conveyed to the other party's heart at all."

Jojo looked calm, "I know."

The sea is always blue, although there are other colors occasionally, but that is only temporary, the tranquil and melancholy blue is the eternal face of the sea.

Jojo looked at the small island, and there was a small town on that small island, and there was a small person in that small town, she fell in love with that person, was in pain, and escaped Sometimes it's like running for your life.

The boundless ocean chased her and submerged her, as if this ocean was her love, the tears she shed because of love.

While crying, she lowered her head and took a sip of the sea water, and found that it was salty and bitter, and it was the taste of love.

She almost drowned in the sea that day.

but……

Qiao Qiao pawed at the sea water, "At that time, I was really too timid, and I always thought I still had time. Such an important matter, we must give some time to think about it?"

That was 67 years ago.

Looking down at his own boat, An Ping was startled, something was about to explode in his mind, but the next moment, what he saw in the corner of his eye made him completely hoarse.

Anping saw Qiao Qiao's legs under the sea, which were no longer a pair of legs, but a pair of white bones, with seaweed and barnacles growing on them, what a wonderful paradise!

This spot was the only place in the vicinity where there was a ledge for Jojo to stand on.

She stood here for too long, too long... so long that she was about to come to the end of her life.

She is still very young as a giant, but her life is over.

67 years ago, because she was worried that her identity as a foreigner would be discovered by teenagers, Qiao Qiao escaped from that small island overnight in grief, but the sea was against her and beat her back again and again with huge waves. The great waves in her heart beat her back too, telling her either you stay here or you drown.

In the end, she stayed here, living by eating fish and drinking rainwater, watching day after day... afraid that the boy would find herself, afraid that the boy would not find herself, afraid that the boy would see herself, but would start to be afraid of herself.

She thought that one day she would accumulate enough courage and longing to go back, but her body is too big, enough courage for human beings is just a drop in the ocean for her, when she was still hesitating, the town of people contracted albinism and died in agony from using too much lead-containing utensils for too long.

The young man who told her that he was a good fisherman had already turned gray, and he was alone.

Later, passing adventure ships would tell her that people have long abandoned things containing lead, because they all know that if too much lead enters the body, they will suffer from albinism, have no cure, and die in great pain.

The adventurer also gave her a newspaper the size of her fingernail, which published a short story written by Polaris - "Albino Love".

There is a sentence in it that says: "It's also very good, you and I can't grow old together, at least we can grow old together."

She cried so much that the sea rose five centimeters that day. Who can calculate how many tears of love shed in this salty, bitter, melancholy, sad ocean?

Qiao Qiao recalled the past, and remembered in a daze that it was already 67 years ago, but she also felt that it happened yesterday, as long as she closed her eyes, the clear and pleasant voice of the young man still echoed in her ears.

"Qiaoqiao, I can afford you, or I can eat less... The sea is so big, it can always feed the two of us."

"Qiao Qiao, be careful, you see that you are so short and you still go into the water, go to the beach and play, there are beautiful shells over there."

"Jojo, Qiaoqiao, what are you looking at? Over there? Oh, that huge footprint over there, I heard it's the footprints of giants... Hahahaha isn't it super scary, there are several of us in one footprint That big."

"Qiaoqiao, you... are you a wanted criminal?! No, no, no... I mean it doesn't matter! I know you are a good person! So it doesn't matter if you don't need to be so nervous, I will never hurt you .”

"Jojo..."

"Jojo..."

"Jojo..."

When bidding farewell, Jojo looked flat, or said to Anping and Nana in a dull manner: "It is a very happy thing that you can be together successfully. You know, in this world, it is not possible for two people to be together when they love each other. Yes, more often, love comes with albinism. Your body and soul will fall into the endless pain caused by loving someone. Your skin turns white piece by piece, and the blood color gradually disappears. You are still young , but already has a head of gray hair... There are too many people in this world who can only have white love, terminally ill, and hopeless. Although you have lost your hometown and are wandering in the sea, you are already happy enough. Cherish this miraculous happiness, even for those loves who died of albinism."

When Qiao Qiao was young... she fell in love with a human boy, and that human boy also loved her, but she was a woman from the giant clan, and the boy was not as tall as her finger, so she really couldn't imagine how they would be together .

After the teenager died of albinism, she no longer had to spend time imagining how they would be together.

After that, an adventure ship will pass through this sea of ​​tears, and an adventurer will tell her the causes and symptoms of albinism, as well as its treatment.

Jojo will say that he also has albinism.

"I also have some poison in my body, which makes me gradually lose blood and become weak, makes me age early, and makes me suffer from severe pain all the time, and I know very well that there is no cure for this disease, and I can only wait for death .”

The adventurer said to her at the time: "This is not albinism. In human society, we call this disease unrequited love, and some people say it is hopeless love. But you are right, there is no difference between these two diseases, anyway. Once you get sick, you can only wait to die. Albinism is pain. Love is pain."

Qiaoqiao watched the murlocs and humans row the boat away from her tears, feeling that she was about to wait.

After a long time, Anping and Nana will never see Qiao Qiao again, but they will never forget Qiao Qiao, let alone their albino love.

— Polaris”

Aokiji closed the newspaper, put it aside, put on the blindfold, put down his legs, and prepared for a blissful afternoon sleep.

A knock on the door shattered the love between him and Blindfold.

The one who entered was Smoker, who had followed his boat after graduation.

Smoker finished his report and was ready to leave.

"Do you have anything made of platinum lead at home?" Aokiji asked lazily, putting on the blindfold again, with her legs resting on the desk.

Smoker looked back puzzled, and replied truthfully: "I don't know, maybe there is, isn't that stuff everywhere?"

Brief silence.

Smoker curled his lips and opened the door.

"Throw it away, don't use it again."

Smoker, who had silver hair, turned his head again, his eyes full of doubts.

The lieutenant general who was lounging on the chair seemed to have fallen asleep, and the sound just now didn't seem to be made by him.

Smoker thought for a while, and finally left without saying anything.
