One Piece Redemption

The dream city in the middle and latter stages of the great route was as silent as ever tonight.

Time seemed to stop at the moment when the elder used that ability three days ago, everything stopped at that moment: the wind no longer blows across the island, the little animals in the woods no longer play, even the stars in the sky is not blinking.The blood-colored moon climbed from the other end of the island to the center at some point, casting a blood-colored radiance on this extremely quiet island.

However, on this still island that seemed to have turned into a painting, suddenly there was a whispering sound that only came out when people communicated, breaking the The silence of this island.

A burst of fire appeared on this silent island, surrounded by the flames, a few people sitting or standing seemed to be quietly waiting for something to appear.Time passed bit by bit, and the bloody moon above the head slowly moved westward from the middle. Seeing that the island was about to usher in a new dawn, the figures who had been sitting by the fire suddenly became a little anxious.

"Really, why haven't Boss and Kong come out yet?" Lu anxiously took a bite, with the chicken leg in his hand, his eyes couldn't stop looking into the direction of the depths of the forest.

"Calm down, you have to trust the strength of Boss and Sora, they will come out soon." Kate is completely different from her impatient and straightforward friend. He calmly holds his two swords and sits cross-legged On one side, his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was closing his eyes and resting his mind. When he saw his friend so anxious, he couldn't help but comfort him.

"...Of course I believe them, but it's been so long now, and the third day is about to pass, I'm a little worried... I don't know if they have encountered some difficult situation, why it took so long Won't you come out?" As Lu was talking, he couldn't help but think of what he saw in the illusion, things that he didn't want to recall in his life, couldn't help sighing, and said.

"Did you encounter those things in the illusion?" Kate suddenly raised her head and said to her friend. "...Mmm." Lu's figure, who had been spinning around in place, suddenly froze, and just stood there quietly, nodding silently.

"...It's all in the past, there's no need to think about it." Kate closed her eyes again, and his thoughts couldn't help being immersed in the things presented in the illusion. I thought of the question I pondered in my fantasy: ... If I hadn't decided to do those things at the beginning, would everything not have happened later, would I not have become a pirate, would I have still Living happily with my family...

"...The past is the past. It is impossible for us to go back to the past and change the things we have done. No matter how anxious or sad we are now, those things have passed. It's a thing of the past, and there's no need to be brought up again." Beckman took out a cigarette and lit it against the fire, then put it between his lips, and took a deep breath: "...we Life is going well now, there is nothing to complain about, and there is no need to worry about the past, Lu."

"...I know." Lu sat down sullenly, and slowly took a bite of the chicken leg in his hand, chewing dryly like chewing wax.

"...Well, not everyone's fantasy is to go back to those terrible things in the past." Mr. Cole appeared again and began to adjust the current atmosphere, and said with a cheerful face: "You never imagined that I was in that What did you encounter in the illusion! Guess, guess, guess, and after you guess correctly, I will go back to you for extra food!"

Knowing that their companions were worried about them, the people couldn't help but smile, and then began to cooperate and participate in this guessing game.

"...Well, could it be that you met a beautiful beauty?" Khaki, who knew Cole's penchant for beauties, said first.

"...It's a little bit of an edge, let's continue!" Cole was silent for a while, and then affirmed Khaki's thoughts.

"Isn't your illusion that you're married to someone, have children, and live happily ever after?" Even Bella couldn't help but start to suspect. "It's a little different, but it's relatively close." Cole shrugged and began to talk about his illusion to his companions: "As soon as I entered the environment, I found myself at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau. You all know that the Civil Affairs Bureau is What kind of place? Anyway, in the fantasy world I entered, the Civil Affairs Bureau is a place specially used to manage people's marriage and divorce. As soon as I entered, I was kicked by my lover, and the one in my mouth was also kicked by my lover. The little oil bottle, which is the crystallization of love between the two of us, was thrown to me."

"In that illusion, I just lost my job, and because I was often cheated by others, I lost a lot of money, so my lover would dislike me like that, thinking that I was cowardly and ignorant and did not seek to make progress. After encountering this kind of blow, she was devastated. It made her feel that she would not be able to get the good life she wanted in the future, so she divorced me in a fit of anger. Not only that, but she also gave away what I had The real estate, the car, and everything else of value were all abducted, and then he left the Civil Affairs Bureau with his lover in a big way. And I hugged that poor little girl, who is the crystallization of love between my wife and I, watching Looking at the crying face of the little girl, I couldn't help laughing bitterly. I thought to myself, what should I do? If I were alone, I would be a beggar, and I couldn't even bring this little girl with me. Shall we beg for food together?" Mr. Cole said while dancing and dancing to express his bitter heart at that time. The originally very dignified atmosphere became harmonious because of Mr. Cole's current appearance, and people couldn't help laughing Watching Mr. Cole playing tricks there.

"Keep talking, keep talking, and then?" People's interest began to rise, and they smiled and asked Mr. Cole what happened next.

"Then...then I met a lawyer who looked a bit like Kate, but he was much more handsome than Kate! That petite temperament is amazing! That lawyer with a sense of justice saw my wife La When his lover left the Civil Affairs Bureau, he said to me: "If you need help, I can help you win a lawsuit. It's not for you, but for the child in your arms. I can't bear it." Seeing this kind of child suffer.' After listening to this, of course I agreed, otherwise I would have no money to eat and raise children, so I asked that lawyer and told him that as long as he can help I won this lawsuit, and I will definitely do my best to repay him."

"The lawyer is very capable. After just a few lawsuits, he helped me get all the real estate and some valuables back, and even helped me put those businessmen who cheated me into prison. And compensated me a large amount of compensation, which is enough to compare with the things I got from doing business. My wife saw that I was prosperous again, so she wanted to abandon her lover and I was together. But I didn’t expect that her lover simply killed her in her house because of love and hatred. I was also suspected of murder by the police because of this incident, so I simply went to the police again I have been in prison for a few days in the bureau, oops, what a wave of unrest, and another wave!" Mr. Cole said shaking his head, full of the appearance of a storyteller, which greatly moved everyone's mood. ease.

"Just like this, the matter is not over yet! I am in prison, what can my daughter do? So I can only ask that lawyer to help me raise my daughter for a few days, but I didn't expect that lawyer to be so powerful, so he directly put me I was rescued! And he also found a detective friend of his to help me recover my innocence and put the real murderer in prison."

"Without that terrible ex-wife making troubles in my life, my daughter and I lived a very happy life. I watched my daughter grow up slowly, and even got admitted to a university in that fantasy world. It was a very good university, and then there was a boy I liked, and after graduating from university and working, I walked into a happy marriage with that boy. I felt: Oh, this life is really worth it... "Mr. Cole, the look of a contented old father made everyone laugh.

"I watched my daughter and that kid live happily together, and even got me a big grandson for me to raise after two years. Of course I have the duty to choose to agree! Let me My sons and daughters are working hard outside, while I am at home playing with my grandchildren, and it is good to raise and support the elderly. Seeing that I am getting older and can’t do it anymore, so I simply make money from my business All the money I gave to my daughter, and then I lived in my daughter’s house and lived happily with my daughter and son-in-law. During the day, when I was happy, I would dance with the old men and women who danced in the square, When I am happy in the evening, I drink two taels with some old friends, and that lawyer! In the end, the lawyer also became one of my best friends. We often go to the square to dance, dance, twist our waists, sing and practice Voice practice or something, the days passed quickly like this. In the blink of an eye, I changed from an unemployed youth in his 30s to an old man in his 80s. My daughter began to worry about gains and losses. Worried about when I will die in front of her, my son-in-law is also worried, because he and my daughter love each other so much, so even though he has been married to my daughter for more than 30 years, but when he sees my daughter is sad , he couldn't help being very melancholy, I couldn't bear this kind of atmosphere! So I simply took my old lawyer friend, and that old detective friend who helped me regain my innocence, to have a fight together Poor travel! We, a group of old men, ran from a city in that illusion to other countries with more than 600 yuan in our pockets. We had a lot of fun!" Mr. Ke Department was dancing and dancing, and the others laughed heartily when they heard it .

"When I came back after traveling poorly, my old lawyer friend accidentally caught a cold when he forgot to bring an umbrella to go out on a rainy day. After all, people are old. It's just a little cold, so let my good Friends, I stayed in bed for six months. When the first snow fell that year, I went to their house, thinking to tell my old friend to stop lying in bed all the time and go out together. Walk around. Who knew that as soon as I entered, that old man, who had always been very strong, watched me die..." Mr. Cole's expression became sad: "...I never thought about this person, It really means nothing."

"Not long after the old friend of the lawyer died, the old friend of the detective also died, and I was left as an old man without any friends. When the first heavy snow fell in the second year, I suddenly felt that I should be When the day came, I said to my daughter: "Daughter, your dad, I probably won't be able to spend this year's Spring Festival with you. Don't be sad. I'm over 80 this year and I should be gone. After leaving, you continue to live a good life with that brat. My grandson was raised by me, and he is already healthy and ready to marry a wife. I have no regrets. After I leave, don't feel bad After all, no matter if this person is gone, everyone can still live.' After saying those words, I died, and my soul was floating in the sky. Seeing the sad appearance of my son and daughter, I couldn't help crying Yes, but at this moment, someone asked me: "Would you like to stay here for your son-in-law and daughter? If you are willing, then I will let you return to your body and continue to be with your My daughter and son-in-law are living happily together.” To be honest, I almost agreed at that time, but then I thought about it, and I still have a bunch of people who can only fight, but they even share the sugar and salt in the seasoning. An old friend I didn’t know was waiting for me outside. Then I said to that voice: ‘I won’t keep it anymore, I still have people waiting outside!’ Then I came back.”

"After all, without me, you guys who can't even tell the difference between seasoning and sesame sauce, how can you hang around in this sea? You can't eat enough, of course you can't fight well. How dare you stay with your head when you are defeated?" Do you want to continue to stay in this sea?"

"I reckon, my illusion actually let me experience the life of not being a pirate. Although that kind of life is pretty good, it is safe, happy, happy, and spent a lifetime with the people in the family , But, doesn't the boss always like to say a word? Even in that happy life, I can't help but think of it often. "

"It's a man, and he's about to go to sea."

Mr. Cole squinted his eyes and laughed, and the sky also ushered in the first ray of dawn following the end of the story Mr. Cole told: "So, Lu, you don't need to worry at all, isn't the boss? What troubles have you encountered, will there be no way to come back, although our head is a fool who only has fighting and emptiness in his mind, but even so, he is our head after all, I put everything down and came back, There's no reason why he can't come back, so what are you worried about?"

"What are you worried about?" A familiar voice sounded behind him, and when people turned their heads, they saw the red-haired young man with a warm smile like sunshine, holding down the straw hat on his head with one hand, and smiling at them with one hand on his hip.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, I'm just talking about why you haven't come out, Boss and Kong." Mr. Cole waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile.

"... If you are empty, you should have to wait for a while." When the red-haired young man heard this sentence, the smile on his face seemed to stiffen for a moment, but soon, his smile returned to the previous one. Beckman, who had been observing everyone, couldn't help thinking that he seemed to have misread: "...Don't worry, she will come out soon."

"Hmph, that's right, you fragile worms who are protected by my concubine should firmly believe that this concubine will return safely. You don't need to think about anything else." The haughty voice sounded from the depths of the forest, and everyone was pleasantly surprised Looking around, I saw the queen who was always aloof, but now she was smiling brightly at them with a happy smile on her face, and everyone was petrified in an instant. ,
