The hardest thing in the world to cut is the karma

Astronomy, geography, humanities, nature... All kinds of disciplines are gathered in one place, colleges are adjacent to each other, research institutes are side by side, and everyone walking on the road holds books in their hands and mutters words in their mouths, forming a proposition Thinking hard, cheering for a result.

Here is a country where only scholars live, and it is called Deriat, a treasure of human wisdom.

In a secluded library, a female scholar in her forties, whose temperament is as refreshing as old wine, is sitting in front of the desk and binding books.

More than 4 sheets of A[-] paper were methodically stacked, aligned, stitched, glued, and then glued to the inside of the spine of the hardcover bookcase.In this way, as soon as the glue dries, the two-finger-thick book is officially completed.

On one corner of the table, there were three books with the same cover, which were no less thick than the one Robin was holding now.

"Nicole World"

It records what Nicole Robin has seen, heard, thought and thought in the past 40 years.It is also a summary of her life.

Taking off his thin-rimmed glasses, Robin let out a long breath, and leaned on the back of the chair to relax the strength on his shoulders.

"Three months...that's a long time."

"Dr. Nicole."

A female scholar with long pink hair in a navy blue robe walked up to Robin, put her right hand on her heart and her left hand on her belly, and bowed at sixty degrees, which was a salute from a student to a teacher.

"You have worked hard."

"Mia, I'll leave the rest to you."

Robin stood up from the chair, passed Mia empty-handed, and walked towards the exit.The hard work of three months was simply handed over to others.

This unacceptable practice by ordinary people made Mia feel panicked.She turned around quickly and reached out her hand to Robin's back.

"Wait a minute, Dr. Nicole!"

Robin stopped, but didn't turn around.

Like grabbing the last straw, Mia asked with all her strength: "Dr. Nicole, do you really want to leave? Why don't you stay here? Dr. Nicole will definitely win the title of 'Sage'!" In this Deria, create an achievement that is enough to cause a sensation in the world and is enough to affect future generations for a hundred years!"

"Mia."

Robin's voice was very calm, like a breeze, like floating clouds, like a mountain, like the sea. She raised her head, her eyes penetrated the high ceiling of the library, and stared at a wider and more distant place.

"Compared to fame and achievements, we scholars should pay more attention to the unknown. I have stayed for too long, and it is time to move forward to the future."

"teacher……"

Shocked by Robin's awareness, Mia unknowingly put down her outstretched hand, staring at the tall figure in a daze.

"And ah."

Robin turned his head with a happy smile from the heart.

"I still want to continue traveling at sea with them."

With Nami present, the Sunny arrived in Deria smoothly one day earlier.

They were not in a hurry to find Robin, and everyone was divided into groups according to the old rules, wandering around the city.

Before dispersing, Nami did not forget to tell her "don't cause trouble", but thinking about it with her toes, she knew that this was impossible.

Since Luffy disappeared once, Sauron has developed the habit of following him at any time.So this time, the two of them strolled aimlessly on the street together, and passers-by turned their heads wherever they passed.

It's not that the reputation of the two of them is so prominent among the "nerds", it's just that these two people are at the level of dragons and phoenixes just by looking at their appearance.

Luffy's height has successfully grown to 1.8 meters, leaving the ranks of "petite".His slender and slender limbs made him look not bulky, but he was the kind of tight figure that looked thin when dressed and undressed.Set in a neutral red T-shirt, there is a kind of indisputable beauty.What's more, his face! At the age of 31, he still has a baby face, coupled with his natural and deep complex temperament, it is simply a foul.

Sauron seemed to have unknowingly developed a habit of showing off his muscles.The wide-sleeved Hanfu was deliberately worn loose, revealing a large area of ​​skin on the chest. Except for the two strong pectoral muscles, they were all small, angular muscles.Coupled with his ruthless and handsome face, and the killing spirit cultivated through countless life-and-death battles, the charm of the alpha male hormone rushed to his face.Many female scholars just glanced at him secretly, and their faces blushed unconsciously.

"Yeah—this country is really full of books."

Luffy walked on the road looking around. Although it was the second time he came here, the impression he had was exactly the same both times.

This country is not his food.

Zoro squinted at Luffy with a bored face, and suggested: "If you can't stay, you can go to Robin. If you make it a day in advance, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"No, a good agreement cannot be changed at will just because of convenience. Robin must have a lot of things to deal with. It would be a pity if he left regrets just to accommodate me."

"So, how about going there?"

Sauron tilted his head, indicating a restaurant not far away.

There are no "vulgar" establishments like taverns in Deriat, which affect the atmosphere. Instead, there are coffee shops and teahouses everywhere in the streets and alleys.These places are full of literary and artistic youths all day long, discussing philosophy and youth pain, which is not a suitable place for Luffy and the others.From this point of view, only restaurants that faithfully fulfill their duties of buying meals are their only shelter.

Also, the restaurant serves alcoholic beverages.

"Alright, I happen to be a little hungry."

Luffy pushed open the wooden door with glass windows and entered the comfortably decorated restaurant.

The restaurant is clean and bright, decorated with green plants and landscape paintings in warm colors, the solid wood tables and floors are polished, and the record player in the corner plays slow-paced light music.

The diners among them are all elegant people, there are those who eat in silence according to etiquette, some who eat while reading without taking their eyes off the book, and some who eat while talking with their companions in a low voice. In short, they try to keep the environment as quiet as possible, except for one exception.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo teacher teacher"

A woman with long pink hair in a navy blue robe was crying and wolfing down.Let's not talk about how she did these two things at the same time, other people seem to be familiar with her behavior.

This abnormal situation aroused Luffy's interest, hesitantly thought he had chosen the wrong place, but now he really stepped in.He led Sauron directly to the female scholar's table, sat down at the seat opposite her, and observed her eating with great interest.

The intrusion of strangers disturbed the peaceful atmosphere.

The guests who were doing their own things silently focused their attention on Luffy's table.Only female scholars, perhaps blinded by tears, are still gorging themselves on selfless gorge.

"Woohoo ———— the boss! Put a lot of salt in the vegetables -oh oh -salty died me -ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"It's your tears that fell into the vegetables." Luffy said with a look of reason, "Hey? Why are you eating while crying? This way you won't choke, it's amazing."

"Well?!"

As if she just found someone sitting across from her, the female scholar was startled and almost choked to death by the food.He quickly took a big mouthful of juice and swallowed the contents of his throat.

"When I'm in a bad mood, I vent it with overeating. By the way, who are you?"

The female scholar first answered Luffy's question subconsciously, and then felt wrong, so she asked back immediately.Luffy didn't answer her, because he was busy ordering food.After taking the menu handed over by the waiter, he pointed to the text and slid from the beginning to the end without looking at it.

"From here to here, all three copies."

The attribute of a big eater is not uncommon in the new world. The waiter wrote "AllX3" on the slip in his hand without even blinking an eyelid.

"Should all dishes be served in three servings? I understand, please wait a moment."

"The confession was rejected by the teacher?"

This sentence was said by Zoro, and he still had a cool poker face when he said it.

The female scholar blushed instantly, and the hand pointing at Sauron's nose trembled violently because of the shaking in her heart.

"You, you, what nonsense are you talking about?!"

Sauron suddenly realized.

"Hey—it looks like he was dumped."

"That's not true! You big man, why are you so gossip!"

"Then why do you want to cry here alone like a lost dog?"

"You...you have a cute face, but you don't speak cute at all." The female scholar looked at Luffy with the eyes of "lost to you", and explained the situation self-destructively, "Actually, I respect you. Teacher, I'm leaving this country tomorrow."

"What, it's just that."

Luffy's disapproving look angered the female scholar.

"You are very rude. This is a serious situation."

"Where is the seriousness? If you just leave this country, you will meet again one day in the future."

"That's what I said..."

Female scholars can't refute Luffy's thesis.

With deep eyes that were more powerful than ten years ago, Luffy stared at the female scholar.

"Your teacher, was he forced to leave? Did he have to leave because he didn't want to?"

"No." The female scholar lowered her head and clasped her hands on the edge of the table, "The teacher left out of her own will. The teacher has something to do, and wants to go to a higher place. leaving the country."

"Then you shouldn't stop your teacher, if you really respect him from the bottom of your heart."

"I understand. I understand this kind of truth...but..."

The female scholar bit her lip, tears piling up again.

"Reluctance is reluctance—if people's feelings can be so clearly distinguished, then it doesn't have to be so hard. Uh—"

"Then, why don't you leave with the teacher." Luffy seemed to be unaware of how outrageous his proposal was, and chattered endlessly, "Since you don't want to separate, then stay with us to the end with the consciousness of being hated. .”

"..."

The female scholar was silent, thinking about Luffy's words very seriously.

At some point, everyone in the restaurant focused their eyes on the female scholar, waiting for her answer.

"No." In the end, the female scholar shook her head and rejected the proposal, "I still have things to accomplish here. I must carry forward the teacher's achievements. Let everyone in the world know the greatness of the teacher!"

"Yeah. What a nice expression."

The female scholar's eyes were burning with fighting spirit, and Luffy smiled happier than anyone else.Sauron, he has poured the wine without a word.

"Thank you, with your enlightenment, I feel much better." After calming down, the female scholar tidied up her appearance a little, and thanked Luffy, "My name is Mia Wolf, and I am a scholar who has been awarded the title of 'Master' , specializing in the history of the ancient world before the Third Era."

"Hi, my name is Monkey D. Luffy, and I'm going to be the One Piece!"

"what!"

"Ok?"

Luffy tilted his head, looking puzzled at Mia whose expression suddenly changed.

The back of Mia's teeth creaked, the corners of her brows and eyes twitched due to excessive force, and her white hands were clenched into fists as if desperately enduring something.But the limit of patience is only ten seconds.

"You are the source of all evil!!!"
