[One Piece] Lava and Red Rose

"........."

Fujitora suddenly raised his head, as if sensing something, his brows frowned.

This movement...

The tall admiral pondered for a while, and finally stood up holding the silent, empty-looking young boy staring blankly at the shrinking 'birdcage' in the sky, and walked away in one direction. pace.

King Riku noticed his actions immediately, and asked in a deep voice, "Fujitora, where are you going?"

Fujitora turned his head sideways, and said: "There seems to be some small changes in the north, the old man will go and have a look, maybe he can help." Then he took Vladimir and left.

north?

King Liku was taken aback for a moment, and looked up.

Isn't the north that Fujitora mentioned, the most critical battlefield, the location of the royal palace?

-

The top floor of the palace.

"Even the children can't stand your evil deeds anymore! Don't you feel ashamed?!"

"You are the one who will disappear from this world! Doflamingo!!!!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Dover!!!!!!"

The man's screams...

The cry of a child...

The roar of the ground cracking...

All kinds of loud noises beside her ears were chaotic and noisy. The blond woman resisted the needle-like pain in her head, and tried her best to suppress the crying boy who was about to rush towards him. Regardless of his resistance, she hugged him. He turned and left.

Valentin cried and struggled in his mother's arms, but was restrained by the blond mother, unable to escape for a while: "Kassan, let me go! Dover, Dover is injured!!!"

"Leave this place to Dover and Torrebol, don't make trouble anymore! I'll take you away!" Innissis held Valentin in her arms and left the top floor where the war started again, and walked all the way down the stairs go.

Enduring the increasingly severe headache, she quickly passed through the already dilapidated palace. Just as she ran out of the gate of the palace, suddenly, a burst of oppressive aura came from the high battlefield!Inesis, who was already unsteady on her feet, was hit hard!She stumbled and fell to the ground suddenly, rolling all the way along the passage leading to the sunflower field!Finally fell into a flower field full of sunflowers!

That's a collision of domineering colors!

"Woo... Ka, Kassan?"

The little boy who was tightly protected by his mother whimpered in pain. Even though his mother's embrace was used as a backrest, the little boy was still choked by the rolling all the way. He pushed the mother who was pressing on him, and whispered call.

But this time, his gentle but tough mother didn't give him any response.

"...Kassan? Are you okay? Kassan?!" Valentin panicked, quickly got up from his mother's arms, turned his mother over with all his strength, and hurriedly called out to her side.

The blond young woman seemed to be subconsciously protecting her son when she rolled down and got scratches all over her body, but she didn't see any fatal wounds, and she didn't even bleed, she was just unconscious for unknown reasons.

Valentin reached for his mother's breath with trembling fingers, and the faint breath sprinkled on his fingers made his hanging heart a little more stable.

alive...

"...What should I do..." Valentin threw himself beside his mother, helplessly looking up and looking around, as if looking for someone to help, but he didn't find anyone.

How to do?How to do?

The little boy with braids was so panicked that he didn't know what to do.

The comatose mother, the desolate sunflower field without a single figure, and some broken stones rolled down from the battlefield from time to time on the top of the head...

Gravel!

"Wow!"

Seeing that a stone the size of a fist was about to hit his unconscious mother, Valentin rushed forward, using his thin back to block the heavy stone in front of his mother!The pain from the back was so strong that the little boy didn't hold back a whimper even though he bit his lips tightly.

You need to find someone to help quickly!

Valentin held back the bursts of tears that came up due to pain and helplessness, gritted his teeth and swallowed the crying in his throat, and pulled his mother's arm vigorously, trying to help her up.

The result was of course a failure.

As soon as the young boy with a high waist was pulling his mother's upper body up, he lost his footing and fell to the ground!It fell on the mother!

"...Ka, Kasan... woo..."

He can't do it.

He can't do it alone.

The little boy leaned on his mother, and the tears that he had held back for a long time finally rushed out uncontrollably. Big drops of tears poured out from those dark blue eyes and fell on the back of his dirty hands. A faint splash of water.

It's all his fault...

It was him who intervened in the battle situation without authorization, which made Kassan become like this in order to protect him...

It's all his fault!

"Woo, woo... Kassan... Kassan... Kassan, wake up..."

The little boy, who was out of breath from crying, carefully pushed his mother's shoulders, trying to wake up the unconscious mother, but there was still no movement.

Who will... who will help them...

Everyone is fine...

Quickly save his mother! !

"Woo... Kassan—————"

Valentin raised his head in helplessness and cried loudly, and the mournful cry resounded through the sunflower field.

The falling rocks on the top became more and more serious, and affected by the battlefield on the top floor of the palace, the sunflower field was already full of falling stones, and it tended to get closer and closer to the location of the two.

Suddenly, there was a strong explosion!A huge boulder with a diameter of more than one meter rolled down from the top, and quickly rolled all the way to the positions of Valentin and Innissis!Seeing that they were about to hit the two of them head-on...

"Wow——!!!!"

The black-haired child threw himself on his mother, crying loudly in despair!

The boulder is right in front of you.

Boom-!

"Wow!"

Valentin closed his eyes subconsciously, waiting for the moment of pain to come...

As a result... the wait seems to have passed for a long time.

The expected shock did not come, Valentin timidly opened his tear-stained eyes and looked up.

"………………what?"

The boulder actually stopped in the air!At this time, it was floating above their heads, and some dust slowly fell.

Why did it stop......

"Oh, it seems that the old man really came in time."

Suddenly, a somewhat familiar voice came from behind, and Valentin was startled, and quickly turned his head to look in the direction of the voice!

"Varia!" The black-haired thorn-headed boy in a navy cap saw his frightened brother and his mother lying in the flower field from a distance, struggling eagerly and jumped out of Fujitora's arms , supported his lame leg with his mother's cane, ran over staggeringly, and rushed to his mother: "Kassan!!"

"...Mr. Smile? Valoja?"

Valentin stared blankly at the tall man who was slowly approaching. The man had a dignified expression, and directed the boulder hanging above their heads to fall to an open space not far away. Then he bent down and stretched out his hand to check if he was unconscious mother's pulse.

"...just fainted, don't worry, your mother's heartbeat is still strong, so there shouldn't be any major problems." The tall and simple-faced man put down Innissi's wrist and said.

Valentin bit his lip, lowered his eyelids silently, hearing the man's words, but still couldn't stop crying.

Fujitora seemed to have noticed his emotions, he stretched out his hand, rubbed the head of the little boy who was crying silently, and said gently: "It's okay, let's take your mother to a safe place , the Navy's military doctor will take care of her, you don't need to worry."

Fujitora: "She'll be fine."

The man's warm and generous big hand fell on the top of his head, and the soothing meaning in it was gently conveyed to the young boy's heart, which comforted his heart that was riddled with self-blame, panic, helplessness, and fear. .Valentin choked out a sob, raised his hand indiscriminately to wipe off the tears on his face, and nodded vigorously.

Fujitora smiled honestly: "Hehe...don't cry, come on, I will take you out of here." Next, the battlefield above is likely to expand.

Saying this, the tall admiral bent down, gently picked up the unconscious blond woman, and turned his back to Vladimir, who was struggling to walk, and said, "Varodya, climb onto my shoulders." , we have to get out of here quickly."

Vladimir nodded obediently, quickly climbed onto Fujitora's shoulders, hugged his neck and sat firmly on his shoulders.

"Let's go."

Leading the three of them, Inesis, mother and son, the tall admiral walked slowly away from the sunflower field.

Valentin, who was walking forward while dragging the hem of Fujitora's clothes, and Vladimir, who was sitting on Fujitora's shoulder, looked at each other heartily, and both turned their heads to look at the top floor where the explosions continued.

Dover...

In the end, the two children didn't say anything, but silently withdrew their gaze and lowered their eyes.

The Battle of Dressrosa has finally entered a period of intense heat at this moment.

The birdcage is close at hand.

The author has something to say:

The scene in the original book is that Robin and Baima are still in the sunflower field. Let’s assume that Valentin and the others are on the other side of the flower field. The two parties are separated by a palace and cannot see each other.

Well, Fujitora is finally going to start brushing his face.

The top of my cup is greener every day.

PS: Explain why I call Sakaski Cup Cup.

The original Japanese text of Sakaski is: サカズキ, which originally means "cup" (bei, the first sound), which is a container for wine, that is, a cup.

So many wives of generals call Sakaski "Cup Cup", which is a very cute nickname.
