[One Piece] Isano's Rebel

Chapter 23: Between One Thought

After going to the island, Bradley separated from the other two, took the geographical coordinates written by Adeline to him, and walked towards the west database.

It was night when they landed.The night is like a huge net, wrapping this lonely island invisibly.

The cold air penetrated into the collar, and Bradley, who was only wearing a short black T-shirt, shivered.

The island was lifeless, and even the biting cold wind blowing towards him had a cool and strange smell.

The sound of the wind hitting the eardrum was like the whisper of the devil.

That woman has lived in this ghost place for ten years, no wonder she has such an unlovable temper.

Bradley thought so.

Walking against the wind along the bare slope, through a forest without cicadas, he finally stood in front of the unremarkable bungalow.At the first sight of the bungalow, Bradley estimated the area of ​​the building in his heart. It doesn’t look small from the outside—but if it is used as a database for a naval training camp, this area is far away. Not enough.

As soon as he stepped on the path in front of the bungalow, he occasionally stepped on a few grass stalks, and the yellowed withered grass would make a crisp snapping sound.

A light flickered in front of the door.

When he took a closer look, he found that it was a number turn lock with metallic luster.

six digits.

"It's really troublesome."

Bradley pondered in his mind, and went through the various intelligence materials he had searched before in his mind, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his head.

If this lock was set by that woman's partner...

He supported the lock body with three fingers, skillfully turned the numbers with his thumb and forefinger, and boldly turned out the six-digit numbers in his mind.

Hold your breath.

In just one second, the combination lock made a clicking sound.

The catch is released.

At the same time, a small and exquisite silver key fell on the dry grass without making a sound.

But still unable to escape Bradley's eyes, he picked up the silver key on the ground.

Although I don't know what it is for, it is always safe to hold.

Bradley didn't seem to be afraid of someone inside at all, he kicked open the door of the database, and the door panel hit the bookshelf on the wall with a slamming sound.A burst of dust swept by, but he didn't cover his mouth and nose, just looked at the door and nodded slightly, and said to himself, "It's very kicking."

The moment the door opened, there was finally a faint light entering the room. With this light, he glanced at the white paper on the floor and the lonely chair in front of the mahogany table.His eyes wandered for a while, and he finally looked at a corner opposite to the direction where the door panel hit the wall just now.

As he walked in that direction, the paper around him became denser and denser.

"So this place is the point of impact." That's why so many books fall off the shelves.

Bradley scratched his head, "Well, it seems that the intuition still needs to be improved. It turned out to be the opposite of the test."

He took out a small flashlight from his pocket, searched the corners, and finally found a small muzzle.Brad touched the small hole with his fingertips and roughly estimated the diameter of the hole.

Just when Bradley was about to get more clues from his surroundings, the bookshelf in front of the door suddenly shook.He took a step back vigilantly, but at the moment when the bookshelves on both sides were slowly opened, he called out in a cloud of dust, "Short?"

"Who is the dwarf?!" The little boy who was named rolled his eyes in displeasure. "Without me, would you be able to escape from the maze?"

"If it weren't for me, who would come to rescue you now?" Bradley twitched the corner of his mouth, as if he didn't pay attention to Chichila.

"Who asked you to save..." Qiqila curled her lips and looked behind him, "Where's Dinah?"

"Come on, she's gone to the East District with Firefist from your team." Bradley waved his hand and was about to walk towards this secret passage.

Kikila thought it sounded wrong, but he didn't have time to ask questions.Under the confinement of Hailoushi's handcuffs, Qiqila raised his hands with difficulty and pulled Bradley in, "That guy blasted the secret passage switch from the outside, so it can only be opened from the inside, I just now As soon as I was about to come out, I ran into..."

Before he finished speaking, Bradley grabbed the Hailoushi handcuffs, and quickly took out the silver key he had just obtained from the combination lock from his pocket. In the blink of an eye, the key went into the hole with a click. The handcuffs were opened.

Qiqila stared dumbfounded at his series of smooth and skillful unlocking movements, as well as the complacent expression on that handsome face, "You, how could you have..."

"It's in the combination lock. It's probably the guy who put you here."

Putting it so clearly, it is clear that it is to let the dwarf unlock the lock for the dwarf.

To open a lock to save someone and still be so babbling, he deserves to be a guy who catches a pirate just to see a woman and lures her to the small island of memories to drink tea.

Bradley slandered, but he was also vaguely worried - he didn't know what happened to those two guys over there.

Will the freckled brother be jealous and fight with that scary kid?

It's hard to say.

After all, that kid's skill...

Bradley had been very impressed by that man the last time they met in the Maze.

The powerful physical skills of non-capable people, and the body that bullets can't penetrate.

To say that this is a human being, Bradley doesn't believe it at all.

He was dragged by Qiqila to a closed door at the end of the secret passage, which was exactly the thick door that blocked Qiqila before.

"Wow, shorty, so you turned back for nothing?" Bradley glanced at Chichila with a half-smile.

Chichila snorted coldly, gathered energy with both hands, and pushed a small air ball out at an extremely fast speed. Bradley was just about to laugh at how such a small attack could shake such a reinforced door.But in the next second, the air ball burst out of the air, and in the blink of an eye, the metal door was dented for a second, and there was a burst of blasting sound, and the smoke and dust splashed everywhere. When Bradley came back to his senses, only There was a huge hole big enough for three people to straddle, as well as a part of the burnt mechanism, and half of the wires exposed in the air and smoking.

Qiqila walked forward first, and turned to Bradley by the way, "Be careful of being fried into meat paste by me."

Bradley silently shrugged behind Chichila, very helpless.

It seems that the combatants of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates are not easy to mess with.

This is a room with no end in sight, a piece of pure white.The clean and white walls and floors are arranged with clearly numbered information.A brand-new laboratory table that looks like it has not been used a few times, various surgical instruments on the rack, and several test tubes on the white desk are all displayed-this is the real database.The dirty room above is simply used to deceive people.

Qiqila saw that Bradley began to search for the information he wanted as soon as he came in.Thinking that he couldn't come here in vain, he rummaged around and started to feel around.

Bradley can see ten lines at a glance, and his brain is spinning fast.In a short period of time, he found most of the things he wanted accurately. He and Qiqila were almost at the end of the room at this time. They were just about to go back to the door to tidy up, but a small black notebook Into Bradley's line of sight.

I have to say that this black leather book is very eye-catching in a large piece of white paper documents.But just now, he was so focused on finding the information he wanted that he ignored the notebook.

The book was squeezed by the heavy materials next to it, and Bradley managed to pull it out, but the moment he pulled it out, his pupils trembled.

Behind the place where the cowhide book was originally placed, the small metal box, and the red light on the front of the box, the rapidly changing numbers almost made Bradley instinctively turn his head and pull Chichila's arm.

The phrase "run quickly" came out of his throat almost at the same time.

Both of them are quick-response people. Even if their minds are stunned for a moment, their bodies can instinctively make escape movements.

Timing. Explosion. Bomb.

The tension of life and death that he hadn't felt for a long time once again surfaced in Bradley's heart. This was the first time since he narrowly escaped death on the pirate ship that snatched the captain of the big pirate. Exploding pain.

When he thought of the words on the title page of the cowhide book that he hadn't read, he felt a little confused.

Qiqila himself is a user of the air current fruit ability, and using the ability while running can make him speed up.The power of No. [-] reagent in Bradley's body was exerted to the maximum at this time.

The two ran all the way.

Finally, when they were approaching the gate broken by Qiqila, there was a loud explosion sound at the end of the long and dead corridor.

The scalding air brushed past the ear, causing pain to the skin of the person who rubbed it.

Approaching the door of the secret passage, Qiqila waved his hands without hesitation and shot out a few airflows, which hit the digital soft keyboard of the code lock on the inner wall of the secret passage. Lina and Ace met eyes.

At this time, the whole bungalow was crumbling, and the fire had spread to three meters behind Chichila and Bradley, and they both rushed to both sides at the same time.

The scorching fireball rolled out from the secret passage with the sound of explosion.

The flames shot straight into the sky.

Bradley was shaken a few meters away by the blast, and the leather book in his hand rolled to the ground, with a page spread out.

At that moment, Bradley, who has always been praised for his shrewdness and calmness, was stunned.

The moment the photo on the cowhide book was revealed, he was stunned.

At that very moment, a half-burned beam above his head was overwhelmed and fell straight down.

At that time, Ace was using flames to break through the collapsed roof above Qiqila's head. The original sunken roof was directly smashed by this blow, and the remaining part was also folded to the top.So he didn't have time to protect Adelina at that time.

Not only Adelina, but even Ace and Qiqila didn't expect Bradley to be distracted.

Her eyes sank, she jumped, and rushed towards Bradley without hesitation. Under Ace's panicked and worried eyes, she used the momentum to push Bradley several meters away, and she was also satisfied. It rolled several times on the gravel ground.The burning beam landed dangerously two meters away from Adeline's side.

Bradley knew that his distraction had put the woman in a dangerous situation where she might be hit by a beam, so he rarely cared seriously, "Are you all right?"

Adelina glanced at the fox unresponsively, "...it's all right."

"It's you, don't you want to live anymore, why are you confused?"

Bradley knew he was wrong, and of course he felt a little guilty.Rarely did not refute.

But his action of quietly putting away the cowhide book did not escape Adelina's eyes.

Ace stepped on the burning beam with three steps and two steps. His feet turned into flames, and he was not afraid of the fire on the beam.

He narrowed his eyes, the smile on his lips gone.Before Adelina stood up, he picked her up horizontally, said "follow me" to Bradley, and walked towards the door of the bungalow without looking back.

Chichila glanced at Bradley with a confused expression.

Only then did Bradley realize that Chichila was arrested so early, so he must not have known about the changes in the relationship between his two teammates.

The little dwarf was probably going to be shocked when he went back.

Ace's usual warm smile and joking and easy-going temperament make Bradley often ignore his frighteningly powerful strength.

And just now he told himself to keep up with the eyes at that moment, which made Bradley realize that he had actually forgotten that the guy in front of him was the captain of the Whitebeard Second Division with the aura of a strong man—Fire Fist Ace.

So when a private boat sailed far away on the east coast, Ace and others also returned to the boat provided by Bradley.

Qiqila is also a very curious master. When he heard that Bradley had remodeled the ship, he immediately forgot about the large and small scratches and burns on his body, and started to wander around.

Bradley consciously handed the medicine box to Ace, and the black-haired young man still maintained his usual politeness and said thank you.Then, amidst the exclamation of Adeline's protest, he lifted her up and carried her on his shoulders, and walked down to the cabin below with the medicine box in hand.

Bradley sighed and turned to get the spare medicine kit.

……

"arm."

The dark-haired young man's usually clear and gentle voice was a little low at this moment.

Adeline faintly felt that Ace's aura was not right, and it was rare for her to obediently stretch out her arms obediently.

On the fair skin, there are traces of black and red.

She didn't feel anything when she pushed Bradley away just now, but when Ace picked her up and struggled, she felt a burning pain in her arm.

She sat on her soft single bed, and Ace squatted in front of her, lowered his head, gently grasped her arm with one hand, and squeezed a small brush with the other, applying ointment to her wound.

The movements are gentle.

The soft cilia at the front of the brush itched the skin bit by bit.

The gentle emotions that gradually emerged from the bottom of my heart overwhelmed the pain on my skin.

After applying the good medicine, he couldn't spare his hand, so he just bit the wooden handle of the small brush directly in his mouth.Only then did he free one hand to pull off the bandage, and carefully bandaged it up.

From beginning to end, not a word was said.

But his handsome and clean eyebrows and eyes are full of focused tenderness.

After an unknown amount of time, a woman's soft voice finally sounded in the silent room, "Ace, I'm sorry."

Ace, who kept his head down, raised his head the moment she spoke, and was slightly taken aback when he heard her apology.

"I'm not a person with abilities. To be honest, I shouldn't be impulsive at that time. But Bradley did help..."

Before she finished speaking, Ace pulled off the little brush he was biting, and with a bang, the little brush was thrown out, hit the ground hard, and slid a few meters away on the floor.

Ace stroked the side of her neck with one hand, raised his head and kissed her.

The slightly cool lips trembled, eager but gentle.

Adelina slowly closed her eyes, followed his strength and bent slightly, held Ace's face, and plunged into the kiss.

The intertwined atmosphere, and the increasingly fiery air.

Like a long-distance traveler in the desert eagerly searching for water, he eagerly felt her breath.

The soft tongue feels every part of the warm mouth, as if to taste all the breath before giving up.

When the whole person stood up, Ace's hand slipped from her slightly sweaty neck to her waist.The two of them became the posture of him half bullying her.

After returning to his senses, he stopped making further moves with difficulty.

Adelina panted lightly, and in this position, she could clearly see Ace's flushed neck and the fine sweat on his skin.

Ace suppressed the rampant fire in his heart, and tried his best to make his voice sound calm——

"I know you'll be fine this time."

But he was still afraid.

"I'm just afraid that if something happens to you one day, I won't be able to protect you."

He lowered his voice, his eyes were deep and dark.

Falling in love with someone for the first time.

It's also the first time that I like someone so much.

Only Ace knows that the self-confidence and strength he was once proud of, when he encounters everything related to Adelina, it all shatters into a sweet and uneasy cautiousness.

Seen as a thorn in the side by countless people, and with the blood of the One Piece flowing from his body, does he have the ability to firmly protect this woman in his arms——

He is not confident.

Adelina didn't expect it, and he didn't mean to blame himself.

She raised her head, pecked Ace lightly on the lips, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Smelling the warm breath mixed with sweat on his body, Adelina smiled and put her head on Ace's heart——

"That's a big deal, give your back to the other party for protection, and then live together."

The author has something to say:

2017.8.23

Probably, Bradley was taken aback when he saw the incredible information.

Adeline saves him, and Ace gets angry.

This time Adelina was fine, but he didn't know if he would be able to protect Adelina when this happened again in the future.

And Adelina's answer reflects what Ace asked her to protect her back in the Minos labyrinth.

This girl was never a weak girl who would hide behind people's backs.

2017.8.24
