[One Piece] Isano's Rebel

For as long as Isano Adeline could remember, she seemed to be in a race against death.

As long as any evasive action slowed down a bit, she might be pierced by bullets that rained down from across the air.

Going to sea neither for wealth nor fame—even if she wants to live quietly in this world, there will always be a group of people who want to take her head away with her reward order.

It's hard to get used to living alone.But now he ran into a big pirate from the new world head-on.

She knelt down on an abandoned wooden barrel, surrounded by dead bodies.

She tightly held the sapphire dagger in her arms, her face was covered in blood.

A man as tall as a mountain stood in front of her, holding a big knife in his hand, the handle of which stood on the muddy ground, showing no intention of killing.

—Hey, Edward Newgate?

She frowned, as if recalling the name of the person in front of her.

When the people present heard her calling that person by his name, their faces changed in surprise and they looked at each other.The man waved his hand indifferently, smiled and motioned her to continue.

——I... no, Huo Fenghuang, what kind of person is she?

White Beard looked at the little guy in front of him and laughed.

—Geraldine?That stinky woman has a stubborn temper, and no one can stop her.

The girl lowered her head and stroked the sapphire on the top of the dagger. The color of the sapphire was as special as her pupils.

She was silent for a long, long time.

——I want to be a pirate like her.

Whitebeard looked at the face that was very similar to his deceased friend, and squatted down.

— as powerful as Geraldine, or as free?

Under the little girl's blank eyes, the white beard who was called the strongest man in the world gently rubbed the top of her head with his war-scarred hand that could destroy several warships in an instant.

——The answer needs to be found by yourself.

She pulled a wrinkled coat out of her rucksack and flattened it on her lap.She quietly stared at the word "justice" on the jacket, without saying a word.

After a long time, she finally stood up, folded the blood-stained coat neatly, then turned around and gently placed the coat in the abandoned wooden barrel.

She has never worn this navy uniform that symbolizes justice and glory.

……

She was woken up by the sound of glass windows shattering outside.

She was already a light sleeper, so after making such a fuss, she might not even be in the mood to rest.

She stretched her feet to the pair of slippers under the bed board, hooked her toes and put them on.

"Dinah - where's the marshmallow I wanted?!"

The door panel was knocked violently, and she was still sleepy, so she simply ignored the knocking sound.

The knocking on the door didn't stop, but she ignored it.She walked to the table in a daze, and flipped through the old photo album that had been blown away by the wind. The pasting is preserved on kraft paper.She picked up a big sack of sweets by the table, and just as she went to open the door, a gust of wind broke through the locked door. With a bang, she watched helplessly as her wooden door shattered in half and rushed towards the door of the room. The two corners were then smashed into countless sawdust.

"How many times, Qiqila?" She just woke up with a hoarse voice, she put one hand on the door, and kicked the half-remaining door frame with her toes a few times.

"Ah, I want to eat cotton candy!"

Along with that gust of air rushing in was a petite body.The little figure in the hoodie rolled on her bed, making a mess of her quilt.

She didn't make a sound, and the child was upset—his fear of the woman in front of him getting angry was probably not a ten thousandth of his desire for sweets, "Isano Adelina!!! My cotton sugar!!!"

As soon as the words fell, a dart was shot at Qiqila, and the shooting force was astounding-when Qiqila rolled himself up in the air and wanted to avoid it, the blunt dart pierced through his hat. the hat on his shirt and nailed him to the wooden wall.

"Just know how to eat." Adelina seemed to be a little more sober, and finally untied the rope of the sack.

Kikira pounced on the beige sack and began to feast on it.

"You dirty my quilt without taking a shower." Adelina lifted the sheet and wrapped it up in disgust—the original white sheet was messed up by the stains on Chichila's body, and she didn't know who he was. Where is the wild, "My door broke twice in three days. You guys are really good."

Qiqila saw what she was thinking, and replied, "I went to Minos Island again, that place is really interesting. There is a maze, I walked for several days and didn't finish it, I will go to see it tomorrow .”

"...However, the door broke twice in three days? Who else is as brave as me and dares to kick your door?" Qiqila rolled her eyes, and began to ask with Erlang's legs crossed, biting the marshmallow.

Adelina glanced at the short boy, and twitched the corners of her mouth—he is so kind because the guys on their boat are used to it, and it's not a kick, "...the new one."

"New here?" Qiqila stood up abruptly, and the surrounding air currents fluctuated strangely, "Who?! Why didn't I know?!"

Adelina thought about it, when the man came, Chichila probably hadn't returned to the boat, so I don't know if it's normal.

Just as she was about to point out, she realized that the person who broke the glass was the one who woke her up.

The shattered glass and the unyielding and stubborn expression on the man's face are commonplace in Adeline's eyes. She raised the corners of her mouth and leaned closer to Chichila and said, "He failed to assassinate Dad again. .Oh no, it's not an assassination, it's a frontal challenge."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiqila laughed out loud as if she heard some stupid joke, and choked herself halfway through the laugh.And the guy outside the room lying on the broken glass, shirtless, and wearing an orange-red straw hat noticed the movement on their side, and very dissatisfied, he rolled his eyes at the knife, and then pressed his hat, It seems to be to cover up the bruise left on the forehead after being beaten up.

"He?" Qiqila opened her eyes wide as if she had seen a ghost, staring at Adelina's delicate side face, as if she wanted to stare a hole in her face to be sure that what she said was true Believe, "Fire Fist Ace——A person with the ability to burn fruit?"

Adeline replied casually, "Well, that's him."

It was this guy who tried to challenge the old man several times but failed, and was beaten up during a certain challenge, smashing her wooden door.

Adeline's leisurely tone made Ace scratch the back of his head a little at a loss.

Just him?

He's a super rookie anyway.

How did he come to her and become... just him?

Ace jumped up, walked a few steps, and came to Adelina, "You..."

The woman standing in front of him had unusually calm eyes.

The familiar fragrance, and the pretendingly unfamiliar expression.

He hesitated for a long time, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just asked, "What's your name?"

"I?"

With her hands crossed around her chest and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, she tore off the reward order nailed on the outer wall of the room, and dangled the reward order in front of him.When the man accepted her reward order, she walked past him with a half-smile.

"... Isano Adelina."

"The bounty is 3000 million Baileys."

But he did not read on.

rebel.

Why a rebel?

Ace turned his head in doubt, and found that she had gone nowhere.The chef Sage on the side came over and patted him on the shoulder.

This straightforward man with a pompadour hairstyle was the first to talk to Ace when he boarded the boat. Thanks to him, Ace's life in this place was easier when he first came.

"It's best not to ask, Ace." Sage grinned, "Adelina never took the initiative to mention this to others. If she didn't tell it herself, you probably would never know."

Ace is not a person who is overly curious. He glanced at Sage, who just waved his finger.He nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

This will probably touch the minefield of that person.

Sage added, "Everyone has something they don't want to say."

As soon as these words came out, Ace's clear eyes suddenly dimmed.

This complex and tangled emotion was fleeting, and those eyes immediately returned to their previous brightness.

He looked at the blue sea - there were only occasional gulls passing by and the reflections of ships on the sea.His eyelids droop slightly.

After a while, an inaudible sigh escaped from his lips.

"……yes."

The author has something to say:

The first few chapters felt a bit awkward..

I'm afraid that many things need to be explained bit by bit.
