[one]

The huge Sonny is moored quietly on a dark pier. Not seeing your fingers is what it should be at night, but what is different from the previous nights is that there is no light around. Moonlight, starlight, lights, everything No, completely in the dark.

Such a state can be summed up in one word - "absolute darkness".

The story started when the Straw Hat Pirates landed on this island. They arrived in the afternoon of the same day, and they had enough time to learn about this small island named Nox. The Pirates banner wasn't snubbed in any way either. So they immediately learned...

[Strange things happen here at night - all lights disappear.]

[Don't worry about things being stolen or anything, because no one would do that at night.]

[In the morning, when the sun rises from the sea, everything will be restored.]

[Don't walk around in the dark, especially... when you can still see the light in that situation... don't follow it, no matter what you see.]

"Really..." the straw hat boy muttered expectantly while holding the takoyaki he just took from the blond man's hand, "Don't follow me..."

He definitely wants to follow along!!!!

The orange-haired navigator queen couldn't help but order Zoro to watch the night instead of Luffy.

At this moment, the snoring sound from the dormitory can prove that the people on board are resting. Obviously, this absolute darkness did not cause any trouble to the crew of the Sonny. After all, they just couldn’t see, and their hearing, touch and so on were still there, As long as you sleep honestly and wait until dawn, it will return to normal, and there is nothing to worry about.

Even now, the watchtower was useless, so Zoro decided to stay on the deck. Even with his eyes open, he couldn't see at all, so the swordsman simply closed his eyes, relying on other senses to shoulder the responsibility of guarding the ship.

Until... There seemed to be an indifferent light flashing through the endless darkness in the eyes. Zoro suddenly opened his eyes.

The shadow on the pier exudes a faint ivory white light, and even some things around him are dyed with the same light color in the entire darkness. And that figure, even if it is mixed among a million people, Zoro can't admit it wrong .

It's the cook.

He has seen that figure too many times. He saw that person standing at the bow and stern of the ship, standing at the corner of the street on the island, standing not far and not close, and the action of lighting a cigarette was neat and beautiful. And those When I was a nympho, when I brought out a big plate of food, that blond man attracted me more than anything else. Zoro thinks he is not a person who always finds fault when he has nothing to do, but he just likes to use some meaningless words to put that man Tie it to his side. He likes to see the light in that person's eyes and the curled brows, all showing a unique vitality because of him. He is sure that he can taste the strange feeling of "uniqueness", that is, Ironed against the skin, hidden in the bottom of the tongue.

He felt the beating of his heart, the breath he exhaled, and everything became very vivid with the appearance of that figure. Different from the blood boiling during the battle, the feeling was like suddenly noticing the air in the most ordinary life. of sweetness.

is neglected and indispensable.

A twisted world lay before him.

The green-haired man stood in the darkness like this, facing the only light.

Although I don't know the reason, but that thing - the ghost knows what it is, it's not that idiot cook anyway - it would be too naive to think that this will attract myself to follow it away. Although... there is indeed a kind of The idea that should follow, but that must be just an illusion.

[Don't follow it, no matter what you see.]

The green-haired swordsman has a firm will far beyond imagination, and he doesn't allow himself to make such stupid mistakes.

The figure in sight didn't make any strange movements and didn't look back, it just walked farther and farther away. The light illuminated the trees and grass leaves around it, and the gradually distanced distance seemed to engulf the whole world and obliterate it together. in the dark.

Zoro stared at the glowing shadow quietly until it disappeared, and then groped all the way back to the dormitory. The cook should have fallen asleep in the dormitory. He could restrain himself from leaving with that thing, but thought he needed to come back to make sure.

Like, is that guy really still around?

[two]

The road leading to the dormitory is very familiar, even if you can't see it, it doesn't matter. As for where the guy is sleeping, he knows better. Zoro stood in the dark and listened, and the sounds of breathing and snoring coming into his ears were very messy. He listened for a while, put on the He walked slowly towards the cook's hammock.

As expected, the hammock was heavy, and when the palm was lightly pressed on it, it touched the body. There was a slight sound of cloth rubbing. Zoro's movements froze, and the next second he felt his hand was caught.

Compared to myself who has been in the cold air, that hand is warm enough.

"Green algae head?" The guy was clearly in a drowsy sleep, and his voice was obviously sleepy.

...but still did not call the wrong person.

Even though it was pitch black in front of his eyes, the green-haired man still sketched enough sexy scenes in his mind. How those golden hairs were scattered on the pillow, what kind of light was shining in his lazy half-opened eyes, and even the buttons of his pajamas were unbuttoned a few times It was as if he had seen it himself. He used his other hand to flip out a blanket skillfully. "I'm taking things..." After thinking about it, he added, "Are you all right?"

The right is to come back and ask about other people's situation.

Sanji paused for a few seconds, as if he wanted to sit up, but the green-haired man noticed that he pressed his shoulders back into the hammock.

"You don't need to get up, if you have nothing to do, go on to sleep."

"What about outside?"

"...everything is normal." There is nothing to continue. Of course it is "everything is normal" if I didn't follow that thing. The green-haired man moved his hand——maybe it stayed in the cook's shoulder for too long, after a while A layer of pajamas, it is becoming warm in the hand ---- escape the same way and leave.

God knows how hard it took him to hold it back, he didn't let his hand slip into the pajamas, and of course he didn't continue to touch along the collarbone under his palm.

"Bang--" He slammed his head on the door frame, and the man couldn't help cursing a damn thing. What happened just now distracted him too much. As expected, there was a small sneer in the darkness behind him, and he cut , groping to get out.

After a few more hours, Zoro fully experienced the feeling of regaining the lost. At the moment when the sun broke through the sea level, it seemed that the pure black curtain was suddenly removed between the sky and the earth, and all colors and lights began to bloom. He could not help squinting his eyes, feeling the Colors come and go. Soon, the cook will wake up and start working on a new day's breakfast.

At breakfast time, Nami asked about last night's situation. I believe she is not the only one who wants to know, as can be seen from the shining eyes of the group. Zoro's answer to this is that everything is normal. Yes, everything is normal. I have seen it before He didn't intend to say that inexplicable thing, and there was no need to say it at all. Who wants to mention something that looks like a cook?Anyway, I didn't follow it, so it's fine if there are no extra problems?

"What, it's really boring." Luffy stuffed the whole piece of bread into his mouth, and lay listlessly on the table.

The orange-haired navigator took a bite of his toast and said nonchalantly, "In that case, I'll switch back to Luffy's vigil tonight. Is it okay?"

The captain, who was busy struggling with the bread in his mouth, uttered a series of indistinct syllables.

"It's still the same sentence," Nami decided to tell him again after taking the second bite, "Don't follow the light or anything, Luffy?"

"Well…"

"Nami-san, how long do we need to stay here?" Sanji respectfully served almond milk to the voyager, and served Robin a cup of mellow hot coffee.

"We can start tomorrow." Nami said thanks and took the cup, "Everyone still needs to replenish things and materials, there is still one day left today."

The blond man withdrew his gaze from the navigator goddess, and found that the green algae head had already sat aside to take a nap. He remembered the behavior of this guy returning to the dormitory for no reason last night. It's all right" banner, but is this really the case?It has to be admitted that the algae have always been very alert.

But then again, since that guy doesn't intend to say anything, what's the use of asking?

The breakfast time was over, the blond man sent the two ladies away with a pink whirlwind, and then started to clean up the kitchen. After he cleaned everything up, Zoro still didn't intend to wake up.

"Ah, do whatever you want. I'm going shopping."

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

[three]

The Sonny did not leave the island as planned.

Because the captain is gone.

Even Robin used his devil fruit ability to search the entire island, but couldn't find Luffy. And no one heard any sound that night, so the only possibility is that Luffy left by himself. Probably followed in the dark lights appearing in .

All the people disembarked to inquire about this matter. After some fragmentary inquiries, they finally came to the following conclusions.

[He must have followed the light.]

[People who leave with the light will come back after a few days, but they will lose their sanity, that is, go crazy.]

[The residents of the island believe that what happened in the past few days made people crazy. If they can be found earlier, it may be avoided.]

[Anyone who has seen that light but not followed it can try to bring it back.]

[But no one can guarantee.]

"It was my fault, I will bring him back." The green-haired man looked stern, and put his hands on the road.

"No, Zoro, I can't blame you," Nami pressed his forehead, "After all, I told him not to follow. That idiot must have ignored it."

"No, it's not about this," the green-haired man frowned, "I mean, I saw something, but I didn't plan to say it."

Everyone was stunned. This incident was indeed beyond imagination. Usopp and Chopper immediately hugged together, crying loudly, is there a ghost? Help me!!!! "Maybe Luffy has been devoured by the devil now." ", in Robin's calm voice as usual, even Brook started yelling, until the Navigator Queen hammered a bag on his skull, and the cabin returned to normal.

"It's my fault if I don't report it."

"Even so, you don't need to apologize," Robin continued the swordsman's words, "I believe you have a reason not to say it. What's more, Luffy won't change his mind just because of someone's words."

"So, what should we do now?" Chopper looked at his companions worriedly, and felt a hand gently but firmly pressed on his hat. He raised his head and saw that it was Sanji.

"It's very simple, follow the light tonight, find Luffy and bring it back." The blond man slowly bit a cigarette between his teeth, his eyes turned to Zoro, "You said you saw something...that's what those people said ,Light?"

"Probably that's the only way to describe it." The green-haired swordsman thought of the glowing back, and disappeared into the endless darkness together with the whole world. It was exactly the same as the person in front of him.

"Is it... the appearance of a human?" Sanji looked directly at him, and there was something unspeakable in his sea-colored eyes.

While inquiring in the town, the green-haired man overheard another thing. Although the person who said it is not sure whether it is true or not, there are always rumors that the light that appears at night will become the person he most wants to see , that’s why it attracts people to follow it. This rumor is not a secret, so other people must also ask about it. So Zoro told himself, no matter what, the bottom line of the confession is not to say who he saw.

Hey cook, do you know what I mean if I say it was you I saw?

What do you think of this answer?

"Ghost knows what that is." The swordsman replied decisively, "I will follow it to find Luffy tonight, but I have one more request."

Nami squinted her eyes. "Oh?"

"The cook will come with me."

The blond man looked at him thoughtfully, and slowly revealed a nasty smile. "Well, is the green algae kid afraid of getting lost?"

Zoro gave him a squinting look, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his expression and tone were the same as every time they provoked. "If you feel scared, you can change people..."

It's because only you are there, so you won't get lost.

You idiot don't know anything.

The blond-haired man snapped and took the bait. "I'll be afraid of something. That's it!!!!!"

"That's it. Anyway, be smart, both of you, and don't cause me any other trouble."

"Yes, Nami-san!!!!"

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

[four]

First, go back to the dormitory during the night watch, and ask yourself directly without looking for others. Second, when you ask about the details of the light, pretend not to know and change the topic. Third, you choose yourself to act together. So, comprehensively As mentioned above... Could it be that what I saw was Lao Tzu's appearance?

Not sure, but... reason enough to try to believe.

Sanji took a puff of his cigarette and watched the white smoke gradually dissipate in the long wind. The sun will lose its light when it hits the sea level, so dinner these days is brought forward before sunset. When you are in use, take care of everything. I still remember the first night because of the sudden darkness, I hurried back to the dormitory. It was really uncomfortable. Now that the Sonny has entered the rest period ahead of schedule, the next action is left to myself and Chlorella There are two people. As for how to do it... Take one step at a time, let’s see the tricks!!!!

Sanji watched the golden-red sun sinking slowly on the sea level at a speed visible to the naked eye. The green-haired man walked out of the cabin at this moment, walked straight to the side of the ship and looked down at the entire island. There was a round of glittering gold borders on the man's body, and Sanji's eyes were unconsciously fixed on the drop-shaped earrings of the man. They collided in the wind and made a crisp sound, which almost attracted all of his attention. Next Seconds, he took the cigarette out of his mouth, because the diffuse smoke slightly blurred the light on the swordsman.

Occasionally, I will have such thoughts, not for the sake of arguing, but simply thinking that staying here is good.

He suddenly thought, if he saw that kind of light, what kind of scene would he see?

will see... who?

"Hey, is that thing going to come?"

"Who knows." The green-haired man shrugged slightly, without turning his head, "If it doesn't come, just go find it."

The setting sun on the sea was still short of the last line of Jin. Sanji decided to open up and ask him a word.

"Can you tell the truth, who is that person you saw...?" He threw the cigarette in his hand into the sea behind him, and the burning cigarette quickly drew an arc and disappeared into the whole golden red, "Isn't it? ..."

Zoro turned around abruptly, just when the blond man was about to see the expression clearly, the darkness suddenly rolled over.

It was as if the switch in the mind that controlled the vision was suddenly turned off, the two of them could not see anything, and there was a quiet stalemate for a moment.

"You'd better come here," the green-haired man's voice sounded flat, "the last time I saw it was on the shore."

"Don't tell me earlier, you bastard." Sanji muttered and moved his steps. He reached out and groped forward, trying to grab it when he was close to the railing. Maybe hearing the voice of the green-haired man made him unconsciously walk towards the same position, the first thing the hand touches is the fabric. It can be felt that Zoro is standing with his back to him, obviously after the light disappears he turned around to face the island again. Just when the blond man just touched the clothes, Zoro Turning around, he grabbed his wrist.

"This way." The swordsman muttered, pulling the cook's wrist to bring him to his side, until that hand also touched the railing of the boat smoothly. He let go simply.

Being muddled is not his style, even if he likes this kind of physical contact, he will not be overly intoxicated.

RoronoaZoro has a clear boundary when facing everything, and the same is true for that person's feelings, he will not cross it easily.

"Hey, how do we keep watch at night?" The blond man didn't seem to be disgusted with the contact just now. It is estimated that the guy is trying to experience the feeling of guarding the boat with his eyes open and seeing nothing.

"Idiot, don't you know how to listen?"

The blond man opened his mouth and was about to refute, when he suddenly realized that the guy avoided his question just now with a few words. Wouldn't it be too rude if he kept asking questions endlessly?He curled his lips. Oh, cunning fellow.

After waiting in the darkness for an unknown amount of time, their long-awaited target finally appeared. The blond man opened his eyes wide, looking at the ivory white light in his field of vision, looming in the distant jungle.

"If it doesn't come again, I'm going to look for it." The green-haired man's low voice was so close that it almost rang in his ear, Sanji was startled, and felt a strange feeling in his heart, rising from nowhere An inexplicable burning sensation.

what happened?

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

[W]

Seeing the light passing through the jungle and getting closer to the coast, the blond man finally got to see its true face. To be precise, that thing is not a constant shape. It seems to be changing subtly all the time. Sanji stared at it in confusion, really It is impossible to correspond it with the "human being" in the brain.

"I thought it would be a beautiful lady..."

"...who did you see?"

"I should ask you this first, Chlorella."

The green-haired man chose to remain silent. What he saw in his eyes was indeed the guy standing beside him. If it wasn't for the fact that the cook was by his side, he would definitely be shaken. The posture and movements of that luminous figure are so similar to the cook. But It neither raised its head nor made any strange movements, but just quietly walked across the bank. The swordsman couldn't help turning his eyes to the side, and unexpectedly, he actually saw the people around him. It wasn't a mass of darkness but a real I saw the corners of the cook's eyes and brows clearly, and lowered his head to stare at the ball of light.

Just when he was about to speak to remind him to catch up, the blond man also raised his eyes. Zoro was shocked all of a sudden. The scene in front of him was so shocking that he thought he was in the deep sea, and what he cast in front of him was the sky. Fragmentary sparkle.

In Sanji's eyes, he saw the most longing sea in different shades.

In my impression, that guy rarely looks at me so closely, and when they quarrel, they are usually so angry that they forget to pay attention. The green-haired man said in his heart that only with a strong enough will can he control himself well , and do nothing out of the ordinary.

"It's really indescribable, it's not a person at all..." The cook casually looked away, "Let's go, follow it."

What should he say, Zoro's eyes gave him a feeling of being grasped the moment they looked at each other. As if he was facing the most agile and unruly beast, the eyes reflected a dangerous dark light, and he was only a hair away from being swallowed Trapped in the dark for a long time, this illusion seems to be greatly magnified. It comes from human instinct. Just seeing eye contact makes people's blood speed up, and their mouths dry up.

The blond man chose to jump onto the island neatly before his own blood was evaporated. Zoro also jumped to the island after him. He kept thinking about what the cook said.

Not a person at all?Could it also become something indescribable?Maybe that's what the guy was really thinking--nothing at all.

The luminous thing in front walked at a leisurely pace, and the two followed not too far behind. Anyway, its original intention should be to lead others to a certain place, so if you think about it this way, you don’t have to worry about getting lost. Enough to light up a small area, they followed it through the town and into the jungle at the end. For whatever reason, the guy slowed down noticeably. They followed it stumbling through the jungle until the light in sight suddenly expanded.

In front of you is a lake.

The eyes became brighter, not because the light itself became brighter, but because of the reflections of the three giant trees in the lake. All the light they saw came from the crowns of the three giant trees. Countless small light spots gathered In the canopy, appearing here and now, seems to contain all the light swallowed by the night. Moonlight, starlight, lights, and the vastness of the entire universe are quietly hidden in the canopy. They are so peacefully submerged in the clear water of the lake In the middle, the light turns into a soft blue through the water surface, shining forever like eternity.

After passing through the long darkness, what appeared in front of their eyes was an unspeakable greatness. And the light that led them had disappeared at some point.

"It seems that they are going to bring us here? Is there a problem?" The green-haired man stared at the canopy under the water, only thinking that this picture is very beautiful and attractive.

"It's too problematic." Sanji tried to look towards the shore. If the things were really reflections, their bodies would definitely be on the shore, but unfortunately, the only thing that was shining in the field of vision was the reflection in the lake, and there were no Anything that can exist as a body, "If Luffy followed that thing to this place, what do you think he would do?"

"Jump down."

"...A monkey fishing for the moon? It really fits his style... By the way, that idiot should remember that he can't swim..." The blond man suddenly felt very worried, and walked down the lakeshore.

Zoro didn't say anything, just followed behind him.

Sanji took out a cigarette case from his pocket, took out a cigarette and bit it between his teeth, but didn't intend to light it. He looked at the lake and the shore from time to time to make sure that there were really no three trees on the shore. The lake water The light from the sky is enough to illuminate a small space on the shore, but if the trees are farther away, they must be invisible. "If there is no other clue after walking around like this, we have to go into the water to find it."
