[One Piece] Isano's Rebel

The sea in the dark night is silent, yet undercurrents are surging.

The man was sitting on the container, with his hands on the edge of the box, he looked up to the sky, and played a slow rhythm on the floor with the toe of his shoe.Apart from the still warm corpses and bullet casings that had not faded their luster, there were disgusting bloodstains around him.

The sound of leather boots stepping on the deck came and went, as if they were counting the time.

"Toot, toot, toot..."

A faint phone call rang behind him, and he waited for the sound to ring for a while before slowly standing up and patting the dust off his body.

A gust of sea breeze blew up the clean corners of the white shirt.

He walked towards the source of the sound step by step.

The middle-aged man who had shot himself three times half an hour ago had now turned into a lifeless shell, lying on the blood-stained deck.He couldn't quite remember the eyes and pleading of this person before he died.Rather, he didn't care too much after seeing such a tragic situation.

He pulled a tiny phone bug out of the man's coat pocket.

He picked up the receiver, and before he could speak, a calm voice came from the opposite side——

"It's all done?"

He replied without emotion, "Yes, Dr. Vegapunk."

"You have never let the World Government down."

"...Remember what I said, those things need to be destroyed at high temperature."

He responded first, and then said, "But those are just defective imitations, not even high-quality imitations."

"Even if it is a defective product, we must eliminate all possibilities."

He groaned, sounding a bit absent-minded.The person opposite seemed to hear his emotional change, "Don't worry, the procedure I promised you has already started."

Even if the doctor didn't tell him how to destroy the reagent at this time, he already knew it.

——At that time, the research on Reagent No. [-] was abandoned precisely because of its unavoidable shortcoming, which was unable to withstand high temperatures.Defective products only magnify their original shortcomings, and are of no benefit to us. If they are kept, no one can guarantee that this research related to human body functions will not be leaked, even if this research has failed.

——The only genuine reagent No. [-] was on that person.Even though reagent No. [-] had the disadvantage of not being able to withstand high temperatures, it was well protected by the metal shell on the man's body, and it still played a role.So, no one can get reagents from him, we should rest easy.

Recalling the conversation he overheard in the warehouse next to the research room before going to sea, his slightly frowned brows did not relax because of this.

He tightened his grip on the receiver of the phone slightly, and suddenly interrupted the other party, "I see, doctor."

Immediately he hung up the phone.

That seemingly superfluous nonsense was in exchange for the last quid pro quo.

After hanging up the phone, his five fingers became more and more vigorous. In the blink of an eye, several cracks appeared on the edge of the receiver. A few seconds later, the small receiver was crushed by him abruptly.

With a sound of rubbing, he looked down indifferently at the shattered receiver, then raised his hand and threw the pieces into the sea.

He picked up a gun casually, and after turning it around a few times, he fired a shot at several large barrels of explosives that he had placed in the corner.

At the moment when the flames appeared, he jumped forward.The scalding air from the explosion sent him back to the launch.

The moment he landed, he felt a brief pain all over his body, and then disappeared.

"It's really not resistant to high temperature."

He spit out a few words lightly, then sneered.

……

"Your eyes are very beautiful."

"...the color is like the sea."

She turned around and stared blankly at the person who said those words.

There was a slight tinge of red on his cheeks - but she would rather think it was because he had been drinking too much.He seemed to have just realized what he just said, seeing her startled, he had no choice but to scratch the back of his head, but he didn't know what was wrong with his words.

It's just a compliment to her eyes, why are you so surprised?

Ace didn't quite understand Adelina's expression now.

Adelina, who was always good at managing her expressions, lost her mind because of this ordinary compliment. After a while, she put away the surprise that rarely appeared on her face, and hummed, "...you are not the first who said."

Ace breathed a sigh of relief, flipped the smile badge on the orange cowboy hat with one hand, and then resumed his previous heartless smile, "What, I thought my words made you unhappy .”

"When did I look unhappy?" This sentence aroused Adelina's interest.

She still has a certain degree of confidence in her ability to control her expressions.

Seeing that the other party couldn't hold back an answer for a long time, Adelina found it interesting, and she couldn't help laughing.Those beautiful blue eyes were gradually stained with a subtle smile.

Ace has never been a person who likes to go around the corner, he waved his hand carelessly, "Hey anyway... as long as you are not unhappy."

"Ah, I see." She waved her hand casually, "Then, good night."

Ace nodded at her, said good night, and then plunged back into the crowd of drinkers to fight for drinks.

Walk back to the deck from the cabin, and then walk along the corridor to your room.

Under the quiet white moonlight, there is only a slender figure.

On the empty deck, she could only hear the echo of her footsteps and the loud laughter of the crew members in the cabin.As long as she turned her head slightly, she could see the endless expanse of the sea.

The man's words just now flashed in her mind again.

Like the sea... ah.

She hooked the corner of her mouth lightly.

In fact, when Sa Qi mentioned his own affairs to him cryptically, he didn't go far at all.

It's just that Sage reminded her a few words like "Adelina has things she doesn't want to say" - even without knowing what those things are - and has been carefully considering her feelings.

Although she wasn't very familiar with that guy, she thought she should be grateful for the way he clumsily avoided touching her bottom line.

Those memories she didn't want to touch, together with his phrase "like the sea", were dragged out of the corner.

——Our Dinah's eyes are really beautiful, the color is like the sea.

——Papa's eyes are also the same color, it's a family heritage.

——Papa is the one who protects the sea, so he is also the one who protects Dinah.

——For mother, you can take Dinah to experience the sea... Mom is a very powerful person.

——What kind of person is your mother?

——She has a super hot temper, and she can fight with people if she disagrees with her.

--Why? !Then I want to be like my mother!Super awesome!

——Forget it, forget it, although it is said that my mother is supported by my father, our little Dinah should be gentle and learn to control his temper.But if you meet a boy who can tolerate all of Dinah's petty tempers, it's not impossible to lose your temper properly.

- that's it...

The young child's voice in the memory lengthened the ending, which sounded a bit regretful.

——But my mother is really amazing. I saw a big group of flames behind her picture.

flame?

Yes, flames.

The one that takes everything... the flames.

The memory came to an abrupt end, and Adelina realized that she had been staring at the sea for a long time.

She caressed the cowhide bag at her waist with her fingertips, untied the string made of straw stems, and gently took out the sapphire dagger that never left her body.The silver handle reflected the bright light under the moonlight.

She looked at the sharp blade for a while, and then turned the translucent and exquisite sapphire.

A thin slit was unscrewed on the side of the handle, and she turned out an old yellowed photo from it.

In the photo, she was standing on a pier, wearing two small braids, and she was a little fatter than now.Her expression was a little stiff, but the young man in the white shirt beside her was smiling, and her silver-white hair was extremely eye-catching even if it was against the light.

——Don't cry, Dinah looks the best when she smiles.

——I like the way the sun shines on the sea when it clears up after the rain, so I also like the way Dinah smiles in her eyes.

—Our Dinah is the strongest little girl, don't cry.

——If one day we are free, we will go out to sea, see the scenery that we have never seen before, and go on the road that we have never walked before, okay?

—I promise you, Dinah.

"Unfortunately, these are the eyes of Isano."

She closed her eyes and said softly to herself.

So in this ocean, she is the only one left to break through.
