[One Piece] Inferior Star

The man with long ruby ​​red hair is drinking iced yuzu tea delicately through a straw.Speaking of delicacy, for a man like him and for the surrounding environment, using something to indirectly drink something that is not alcohol is considered delicacy.Let's not get wordy, it doesn't matter to this story, at least not right now—

"You should help her!" The manager of this place, that is, the manager of Dadan's family, Kali Dadan, was quite dissatisfied with this guy who only drank grapefruit tea, "Aren't you a guardian or something?"

"Guardian? Hahahahaha!" The man laughed loudly, he said, "It's been years, I said! Dadan! This is the funniest and most outrageous word you have said in recent years! Hahahahahaha! "

man!Tsk...

Dadan didn't want to argue too much with this man.She is already a mature woman.She has seen too many examples of this dog man.For example, a guy who casually threw two little kids to him to raise.He doesn't even want to raise his grandson by himself, do you think this man can have one?

That's fine, that man actually sent children to him one after another.For a while, Dadan even felt that the guy's real identity was not a navy, but a receptionist in an orphanage.Or he just went to some orphanage to experience life, or where did he find so many children? !

"I can't help her." However, after laughing, the ruby-haired man became a little more serious. He took another sip of grapefruit tea, and then repeated what he just said, "I can't help her... If you can, Maybe I did. I told you her story, the one about Ellen."

"Who can understand what you are talking about!" Isn't that kind of narrative without any important elements?Dadan was still very dissatisfied, and she said, "So? I have asked you for so many years, have you answered it once? What about the child's biological parents? Look at the three wild children around her, even they Anyway, I can be sure that it was born from my own mother's belly!"

"..." The man smiled and said nothing, he still didn't answer the question about his biological parents.No matter how many times Dadan asked, he didn't answer, but said the same thing every time, "It's better for you not to know about this, Dadan. It's better for her not to know either. I can't lie, so I choose nothing explain."

A wicked and mysterious man.Dadan crossed her hips. She felt that she should never have had this conversation with this person in the first place.About three years ago, some guy who had lost his grandson brought back a baby girl.He looks only a few months old, and he is a white, healthy and lovely child.

"Her father is dead," said the man. "Just one word and he died. I don't know where he came from. He was on a strange ship, like a metal warehouse. On board the Navy's warship. After handing over the child to me, he died."

Listen to what kind of explanation this is?So you brought her to me?Doesn't the Navy have any other welfare institutions? ?Dadan originally thought so, but later, this man with ruby-colored long hair appeared.

He just appeared out of nowhere, next to the baby girl.He claimed to have been around since the child was born.He can say some illusory words, exudes a strange murderous aura that seems to be domineering, and sometimes things around him will suddenly spontaneously ignite, and he can survive only on citron tea.In this way, he is basically harmless.

This man, let's call him 'Frey' for the time being, this is the name given to him by the baby girl who can talk.Frey had no goals of his own, his only purpose, according to him, was to be around the girl.He said he had to.But every time you get to the bottom of the question, he'll babble and cut off the conversation.

Dadan still doesn't know who this guy is, and the person who brought the baby girl, the stinky old man Kapu, doesn't know either.

"Father? Hahahaha... why are you humans so funny!" When Frey heard Garp's description of the man who gave the baby girl to him, he also laughed loudly, "That guy is a sympathetic Flooded mercenaries. He was so badly wounded that he was about to die, and he begged me to give him the last of his strength so he could bring the boy to safety."

"A safe place? Is someone hunting this kid?" Cap asked.

"People, there are no more now. But there are many things that are not human?" In the end, this was the only answer I got.

Dadan didn't know that much.She didn't understand why people always had trouble with their children.It doesn't matter if it's Ace, or this girl.They didn't know anything when they were hunted down, they were still so young, what kind of people could they not allow such a small life to exist?

She is a vicious bandit in the eyes of ordinary people.Even she wouldn't lay hands on a baby who was still in its infancy.

So she named the child.One is raising, and four are raising.It's a big deal to open a kindergarten!

"Dadan!! We're back!!" At this moment, a boy's voice came out, and then three little boys covered in mud ran in from the door. They ran very fast and jumped around. , throwing dirt all over the place, and almost knocking over Frey's citron tea!

"Boys—stop here!! Where are you going?!" He rushed into the house without saying a word!Dadan wanted to reach out to grab one, but failed, all three rushed past her and rushed to the inner room!

"Really, we came to see Youxiang!" Otherwise, who would come!Ace turned around and said, "Give her the cute thing you found! That's what we agreed!"

"Cute thing?" Dadan couldn't believe it.Do you still have this agreement?Oh, my little Youxiang... What extraneous expectations do you have for men? Wake up!Dadan opened her eyes wide, and she said, "Then tell me, what cute things did you bring?"

"Glass bottle." Ace said it as a matter of course.

"Unicorn." Luffy said that it was a very golden one.

"Flowers." Sabo held up the white wildflowers in his hands, but they were already horribly horrified by the dick in his pocket.

Dadan looked at them and sighed for the 108+3 time today: Tsk, man...

"Okay." Anyway, the future of you three brats is almost clearly visible.Dadan gave up, she said, "But the child is not feeling well now. Do you think about her too?"

"Is that again..." Ace seemed a little upset, he put down the glass bottle and said, "So what the hell is that! Why did she hear that? Did she do something wrong?!"

"..." Dadan couldn't answer this question.Did the kid do anything wrong?Obviously not.She is so young, just like you, you have done nothing wrong.And in this world, even people who have done nothing wrong can't tolerate it.

"It's fragrant!" Sabo didn't wait any longer.He turned and opened the door.The room was a bit dim, and the curtains were tightly drawn. The moment he entered the door, Sabo seemed to see a figure flashing past in the darkest corner of the room.However, when he became vigilant, the shadow disappeared again.

This made Sabo stop at the door for a while, and then ran into the room. He came to the little girl sitting at the foot of the bed and grabbed her hand: "Hey, Youxiang! We are coming to see you! Look, there is a cute one for you—"Flowers...

Before he finished speaking, Sabo noticed that the flower in his hand withered rapidly at an astonishing speed visible to the naked eye.He immediately hid the flowers behind him before You Xiang raised his head: "Me! My lovely me!"

"Sabo..." Youxiang raised her head. On her baby-fat little face, there were a pair of big silver-gray eyes with only a little orange thread. Those eyes were so clear that they could almost be used as mirrors, but now full of tears.She covered her ears with her small hands, and said with a choked voice, "It's too loud... so scary..."

"..." Sabo couldn't hear the voice.No one else could hear it either.So they didn't know what kind of terrible thing it was.But it couldn't be fake, although he couldn't hear it, he could feel the hairs on his body stand up.Even though it was in the house and it was summer, it felt extraordinarily cold.

In this room, Saab could not hear the slightest 'outside sound'.The noise of bandits, the sounds of wild animals or insects in the forest, the sound of the sea.Nothing at all.Can't hear anything.Saab could only 'hear' the deafening silence.

"Xiangxiang, can you still hear the monster's voice?" At some point, other people had already walked in.Luffy approached Youxiang from the other side, and he said, "Don't be afraid! If it's a monster, I'll help you blow it away!!"

"Thank you... Luffy..." Youxiang was still scared, but she still expressed her gratitude to the child, "It's talking to me..."

"Speak? Can you hear its voice clearly?!" It used to be just saying that it heard a roar or something!Ace didn't know if it was getting better or worse, he also moved closer and said, "What is it talking about? Could it be that it wants to do something to you?!"

"It said... the bride..." Youxiang blinked her big eyes and answered in a puzzled way, "Youxiang doesn't know what it means..."

"Bride?" What does that mean?Ace looked at Sabo, Sabo thought for a while, and he said, "It's strange, bride should be the name for a grown-up woman and a man when they get married."

"What does marriage mean?" Youxiang tilted her head slightly, and asked another question.

"It's just... um~~" How can I explain it!Speaking of which, don't all look at me like that!Sabo noticed that other people were looking at him with eyes full of curiosity, so he could only say, "It's probably a ritual for two people to be together forever!"

"Ah, is it like drinking when we became brothers?" Ace seemed to think of something.

"Well, almost." Probably, probably.Sabo said, "That monster has been screaming... Could it be that it wants to force Youxiang to marry him?!"

"Hey - can you still force it!" How to force it? !Ace can't imagine 'how on earth can you force a person to be a brother to another person', so he can't imagine how to force a person to marry a monster.

"I don't know!" Sabo can only admit that this is beyond his own knowledge, he said, "In short, if you can still hear a loud voice, we will help you as before! You are fragrant! "

"Well... thank you. Ace, Sabo, Luffy..." Youxiang smiled a little, but because her tears were still on her face, this smile was not reassuring.And when the 'voice' reappeared, Sabo covered her ears first: "Okay~ I can't hear you now! We will take turns to help you!"

"Ah."

The strange thing is that even though I blocked my ears, the sound would still come out clearly, but with the help of other people, the effect would be much better.Only at this time can Youxiang truly rest and calm.

"Those three boys are obviously very powerful..." Dadan who was standing at the door muttered, "Forget them still have something to eat!"

"...Only humans can help humans." Frey also walked to Dadan at this moment, still holding the grapefruit tea in his hand, "Although I can't help her, maybe they can—just maybe."

"How much trouble did that child encounter..."

"Ace is wanted by everyone in this world." Frey said, "And Youxiang is feared by life forms that are almost 100 times more than all the people in this world combined. Everything wants her dead."

"Why, why?! She's just a child!"

"It's not her fault, it's been like this since she was born. She didn't have a choice." Frey raised his eyebrows. , that can only be said to be...'alive' itself. It's really pitiful...but I can't help it."

"Then what exactly do you do? Why are you by her side all the time?"

"pomelo tea."

"Ah???" Are you fucking kidding me? ? ?

"I'm not kidding." Frey said as if he could see Dadan's heart, "It's really for the grapefruit tea."

"why???"

"You wouldn't want to know."

"I would like to know!!"

"...I need another drink."

"Come back and explain it to me, bastard!!"
