One Piece Redemption

Seeing that the meal time was about to arrive, the pirates on the red-haired pirate group all returned to the dining table in the hall one after another, waiting for the meal.A burst of strong aroma came from the kitchen, followed by Mr. Cole's lazy voice: "Dinner is ready, dinner is ready. Is everyone here?"

"Boss and...that one...haven't come down yet." Hearing Cole's question, Khaki replied with some embarrassment. To be honest, he didn't know what to call the young queen upstairs. If it is called empty like before, I feel that it is disrespectful to the real queen who has gone somewhere now, but if I don't call it, I feel very unfamiliar.

"The boss told me before, from now on I'll be called that Axiu." Kate said flatly, never letting go of his two long swords no matter where she was.

"Okay, then I'll call it Axiu." Cole waved his hand: "The other party shouldn't mind too much."

"Should I ask someone to call them upstairs? The food will be cold in a while." Lu had already made all the mental preparations. At this time, he had calmed down and said as usual.

"No need, just call downstairs." Beckman slowly opened the door and walked in, raised his head and shouted upstairs: "Boss, Ash, it's time to come down to eat! "As soon as the words fell, the high-spirited voice familiar to everyone came from upstairs: "Oh, I'll be there soon!" "...I, I see, I'm coming down." It was Sora's familiar voice that people still felt awkward no matter how many times they listened to it.

"... By the way, listening to Sora's voice, I'm really not used to being so cautious..." Cole couldn't help but stiffen his face: "I've never imagined Sora making such a sound..."

"Hey, hey, what you said is so misleading..." Quinke, who has always been more delicate, couldn't help the black line, and said, "After Axiu comes down later, you have to give me a normal expression." .Girls are more delicate in their minds. If you don't do something well and make her feel sad...all kinds of things will happen."

"Hahaha, don't worry, don't worry!" The uncle's khaki face smiled easily: "Isn't it just to coax a little girl! I'm the best at this, after all, I was the youngest and most popular in that kingdom before." Doctor!"

"Hurry up and put away that perverted lolicon uncle face of yours, Khaki..." The half-dead Mr. Chef, who was always offended by Khaki's poisonous tongue skills, finally seized the opportunity and stopped him: "You should trust me , Seeing your uncle's face, people will be even more scared..."

"Well, you need to be gentle and polite at this time, and I'll come out in a gentle manner." Bella took out a few cocktails that she had just mixed in the kitchen, and shook her hair confidently: "After all, that lady was from a young age. The noble daughter who grew up in an ancient castle with a long history, if I go down to talk to her, she will definitely make that lady feel very familiar~"

Everyone couldn't help but rolled their eyes back at Bella. At this moment, everyone's unfamiliar but familiar voice came from upstairs: "That, that..." People looked up one after another, and saw Axiu's face full of timidity. Standing at the stairs: "Excuse me, may I ask, I... where am I sitting?"

"Anywhere is fine." Beckman showed a gentle smile: "You can sit wherever you like, and it doesn't matter on the boat."

"Okay, I see." Under Beckman's gentle smile, Axiu's expression became a little more natural, and all the pirates also noticed this change, and they all warmly invited Axiu to sit down. Come by yourself, and start talking about many interesting things encountered during the voyage one by one, hoping to make this somewhat shy little girl happy.

Ah Xiu has never felt such enthusiasm, looking at the faces full of sunshine and enthusiasm, Ah Xiu can't help but slowly relax his mind and gradually blend into this relaxed atmosphere.When listening to those pirates telling herself that the future she has experienced many very interesting adventures during the year when she met them, she couldn't help but think in her heart:...that's great Ah, my future self is actually able to go on adventures with these people so happily and freely...

……if……

"Sorry, sorry, I'm late!" The red-haired man with a very ordinary straw hat on his head came down from upstairs with a hearty smile, and apologized as he said, "I've been waiting for a long time. ?”

"It's nothing. Anyway, if you don't come down, boss, it won't delay our meal. No one has robbed us yet." Beckman said with a joke and a smile.When everyone heard what Beckman said, they all laughed and booed and said: "Yes, yes, how much more food would we eat without you? Boss, you might as well stay on top and don't come down!" "

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it." The red-haired man smiled, and under the gaze of everyone, he took his seat gracefully and shrugged his shoulders: "After all, I was up there and found our Her Majesty."

"You found the void?!" As soon as the words came out, everyone stared at the calm red-haired man and asked in shock.Even Axiu, who had just integrated into this group of pirates, couldn't help but clenched his fists, feeling a sense of guilt and uneasiness that even she didn't know why.

"That's right, to be specific, she should have found me first... But in order to persuade her to come down to see you, I really spent a lot of effort." The red-haired man laughed helplessly: "After all, the empty Her self-esteem is very strong, and Sora's state is very special now, she doesn't want to use that kind of posture to see you, but I persuaded Her Majesty the Queen for a long time before agreeing to it."

"In this way, is there something wrong with Kong?" Because he didn't see through Troga's scheme, Lu Lu, who let the innocent queen fall into a trap, was undoubtedly the most concerned about this matter, and he was very anxious at this moment Dearly asked: "Are you injured, or...?"

"Nothing, it's just the way it is... A little, uh, a small change has taken place." When Hongmao said this, he seemed very hesitant. In order to prove the accuracy of his words, he tentatively stretched out his Hand, squeezed out a gap between the index finger and the thumb that was only about the same as a seam: "... such a big change."

"...What, it's just that the appearance has changed a little..." Seeing the distance in Hongmao's hand, the first person who breathed a sigh of relief was not because of the things that happened in the past two days. Worrying that her friend will not be able to get out of this incident, Kate is very concerned about both parties involved in the accident: "No matter what happens to Sora, Sora will always be our companion, but if his appearance changes, there is no need to worry about us. I can't accept her."

"That's right!" Khaki nodded.

"I agree with what Kate said very much." Bella said seriously.

Everyone nodded their heads.

"Right, right? I think so too!" A certain red-haired man smiled triumphantly, then looked ahead, and said to the air in front of him: "This way you won't have doubts anymore, Kong?"

"Eh? Empty?" Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw him talking to the air: "Where is this? Why can't you see it?" Cole, who was closest to the air, even stretched out his hand involuntarily, and waved it towards the air. Twice: "...There is no one here!!"

"Ah..." Looking at the foolish companions in front of him, Hongmao finally subtly felt the psychological state of the crowd towards him every time he did various foolish actions.

I saw that the red hair put down the hat he had been wearing all the time with a subtle expression, and then turned the hat in a circle, presenting to everyone the other side that no one had seen before: I saw that the brim of the hat was on the right side. A snail with a bright red shell, white, plump and tender...

"...Why does this snail... the more you look at it, the more familiar it looks?" Everyone looked at the one lying on top of the brim of the straw hat with a few tufts of silver hair on its head, a pair of round and big violet eyes, and a very familiar pose. Facing the snails of the crowd with a disdainful expression, he thought very strangely.

"...empty?" Beckman couldn't help asking the snail: "...is it really you?" Then everyone saw that the snail turned its head to one side in disdain, its eyes narrowed, The aura is fully open, and it seems to be disdainful to the pirates who have petrified after seeing her series of performances: ... What a bunch of stupid bugs, my concubine just turned into a snail, so what's so strange of?The great queen is omnipotent, but she didn't even think of this possibility. She really is a bunch of stupid bugs!

"...This is the little change you said?!" Feeling deeply deceived, the crowd swarmed up, drowning the red hair that deceived their pure feelings, and fought: "This is no longer human, This is what you call a little change?!"

"Isn't it indifferent?! In my eyes, no matter what Kong turns into, even if she turns into air, I can still recognize her!! Compared with air, what is a snail!!" Overwhelmed by the crowd The red-haired man resisted with all his might, and yelled back at them, "What a bunch of idiots!!"

"You're the idiot, right you bastard!!!" The even more angry crowd went up and beat them up......

Confused by the event with such a huge amount of information, everyone anxious to vent unintentionally ignored the strange atmosphere between the queen and Axiu.

Axiu sat there stiffly in disbelief, staring straight at the snail who was looking at her indifferently... so the snail was actually me in the future?Indeed, its silver hair and purple eyes made me look very familiar at that time, but I didn't notice it at that time...why didn't I notice it...

...if found...

The queen looked at the extremely familiar face and body coldly, and saw through what the soul living in this body was thinking at this moment, and indifferently moved her eyes away from that person, and turned her attention to Put it on the group of pirates who were fighting.But Ah Xiu, who was waiting for the queen to speak, became more uncomfortable because of the queen's cold neglect. After hesitating for a long time, he finally approached cautiously, and said to the queen whose back was turned to him: "... Well, that... I'm the 13-year-old you. To distinguish us, they called me Axiu, or you should call me that too!... How do you feel now? By the way, the future me, Can I call you empty? This is more convenient..."

The queen finally cast her gaze over here, and under Axiu's somewhat nervous gaze, the queen nodded coldly.This made Axiu feel a little surprised. For this future self, Axiu couldn't help but have a certain sense of dependence, but whenever she put her eyes on the Queen's current body, looking at that fragile body, she felt a sense of urgency. There was a faint sense of guilt and a sense of guilt. Seeing the queen cast her eyes on the pirates who were playing around, she couldn't help but speak to the queen: "...the one on the pirate ship Everyone is very good, although I just came here this morning, everyone treated me very gently, and even let Mr. Shanks take care of me, which made me very grateful."

"..." The queen heard Axiu whispering in her ear, and couldn't help but glanced at Axiu thoughtfully.At this moment, Axiu was looking at the laughing pirates in a daze. He didn't notice the Queen's gaze on him at all. He didn't know if he was talking to himself or continued to look at the pirates. The queen said: "... I never imagined that one day I would be able to leave that huge castle, come to this endless sea, and meet so many people who are very friendly to me. It will not be because of me. Because of my introvertedness and low self-esteem, I ridiculed or rejected me, never imagined that maybe I could really have a happy adventure in this piece of sea freely, and have a life that I can control..."

"...Maybe, from now on, I will always be with everyone like this..." Ah Xiu couldn't help but think of the scene he accidentally saw when he went downstairs at noon today...

The hearty and gentle smile she felt so familiar on the face of the red-haired pirate has long since disappeared, and now the red-haired man's face is only cold and fierce and gangster in the pirate's bones: "...that one of yours How can the ability be released, Troga."

Opposite the red-haired pirate, the man lying on the bed with a weak face was wrapped in bandages, and he replied weakly: "...I don't even know about this...I have only used this ability a few times, and I was the first to use it. The pirate with this ability is still alive, and has been alive for seven full years now... The real soul that existed in his body before no one knows where he went, maybe it disappeared with the passage of time Well... After all, if something like the soul has no sustenance in the body, it should be wiped out... The last time I saw the pirate who asked me to use this ability, the one who had lived in this body for seven years Soul, when he saw me, he was very grateful to me... He said: Thank you so much, Troga, because of you, I can directly come to my present full body and have love Looking at my wife, and the child I love, and even directly possessing such powerful strength, you are my benefactor, I will never forget it in this life, I will never do anything to you, and I will never fight with you For the enemy..."

When Troga repeated this passage, his pupils constricted for a while, and he said with some horror: "...that was the first time I realized how terrifying my ability is...it completely surpassed the previous one through more than a dozen Those who have worked hard for years to get these are obliterated... and all these beautiful things are left to another self who has never done anything..."

"...that person from the past thanked me, which means that the person who should have existed hates me..." When Troga said this, he couldn't help hugging Ashiu could clearly see his own head. Because of this action, the wound on his body burst open again, and the blood from the wound gradually wetted the gauze.

"...Because I abused this ability, I wiped out a person..." Troga closed his eyes in pain.

"...The most frightening thing is that even I don't know how to eliminate this ability... I have tried many methods secretly, but there is no way to do it... I imagined once, Perhaps it is because my consciousness still exists, so this ability will always exist, so that time, I even let my consciousness disappear, but after I regain consciousness, the soul that does not belong to this era is still there. Living in that person's body, it can't be erased no matter what..." After finishing this sentence, Troga was silent for a long time, and finally said to the red-haired man who had been calmly watching all his actions : "...I have even seen the ending between you... Whether you accept the result or not... After many years, you will gradually transfer your feelings for the one you once loved to this person, and the one who was loved The soul I summoned from the past will always be in your lover's body, and gradually possess everything your lover has... But the soul of the person you really love has been exiled somewhere..."

"...There is absolutely no way to avoid it... Even if you don't do it, your companions, those people your lover once knew, will do it..."
