[One Piece] Lava and Red Rose

"......... Woo..."

The black-haired, prickly-headed boy opened his eyes in a daze, yawned sleepily and crawled out of the bed, his light gray eyes blinked, and scanned the surrounding environment, as if he hadn't realized where he was ...

Light-colored tatami mats, a mahogany framed painting on the off-white wall, and a calligraphy work written in bold black ink with the words "Total Justice" in big characters, Wano country-style decoration, even the bed where he lies They are all as simple as the traditional Japanese style, throwing a bedding on the tatami and sleeping on the floor.

Vladimir rubbed his eyes avoiding the swollen eyebrows that were still covered with medical tape, so that his hazy vision became clearer.The black-haired child got up from the bed, limped on one leg, staggered over and opened the paper door, and walked out of this small room that was obviously a guest room.

Along the corridor, the black-haired child moved slowly all the way while holding on to the wall. After he turned a corner, the lush green courtyard appeared in front of his eyes. This delicate little courtyard of the house sends out a heartfelt admiration.

There are a few brightly colored koi swimming in the quiet small bridges and small ponds piled with cobblestones. There are grotesque rockery and strange stones piled up here and there. A verdant bamboo forest surrounds the entire courtyard... The most eye-catching thing is, That is a large number of pine potted plants.

Hmm... every basin has the word 'justice' written on it.

Don't think about it, he must be on the territory of that general uncle, maybe he is still in his house!

Realizing this possibility, Vladimir suddenly became excited!He hurriedly quickened his pace, leaning on the wall and walked all the way forward. After a few steps, he came to the living room with the sliding door open.

The black-haired child curiously looked at the private space of the new idol.The big Wano country-style house was very quiet, the tall officer who brought him back was nowhere to be seen, and he was the only one in the spacious living room.

This is Mr. Sakaski's house!

The excited little fan Vladimir looked here and there, touched there, his light gray eyes were full of anticipation, and he was extremely curious about his idol's private living space!

He turned around, and finally attracted all his attention by the sword display stand next to the living room.

Handsome knife! !

Vladimir hopped on one leg and ran to the sword display stand where only one long knife was placed, staring at the long knife with a white scabbard and a few circles of traditional patterns inlaid with gold thread. The beautiful long knife has a fatal attraction to the little boy who is practicing swordsmanship. Vladimir swallowed subconsciously, and stretched out his hand tremblingly to the beautiful long knife...

"That knife is too heavy, you can't swing it temporarily."

Before the child's fleshy fingers touched the beautiful snow-white sword, a deep, hoarse male voice with a slightly old voice came from behind, saying that he wanted to touch the master's house without permission. The little boy holding the sword froze in fright, quickly withdrew his hand, and turned his head in a hurry.

Behind him, a tall man who had changed into a military uniform and wore a blue kimono, with his chest open to reveal his strong physique and rose and cherry blossom tattoos, was standing in the courtyard carrying a bunch of potted pine plants.

"Sa, Mr. Sakarsky!" Vladimir was caught straight, and his face turned red.

Sakaski put the potted plant back where it should be, patted the dust in his hands, walked up the corridor, and walked towards the room:

"You know swordsmanship, right?" As early as when he was listening to the corner of the wall, he noticed the child's powerful ability to beat a group of adults with a small wooden stick, and now seeing that the child is interested in that snow-white long knife, Sa Kaski asked.

Vladimir nodded, with a tangled expression mixed with tension and admiration on his face, which made Sakarsky want to laugh.

"...Like this knife?" The tall officer came over, stopped in front of the sword display stand, and asked in a deep voice.

Vladimir opened his mouth, held it in for a long time, and then argued awkwardly in a low voice: "...No, I don't like this kind of sissy knife..." Although it is really good-looking It exploded on the watch, and at first glance, it looked like a precious and precious knife that cut iron like mud... Woo, in fact, he really likes it! !

"..." The tall man next to him turned his face away, and seemed to have a muffled laugh. Before Vladimir had time to add a few insincere sophistry, the tall officer dressed at home stretched out his hand with a broad palm Holding the snow-white long knife firmly, he took it off the display stand and handed it to the boy.

"..." Vladimir looked at the long sword in front of him, which he despised as a 'sissy', his eyes had turned into little stars of pikapika.

Obviously I like it very much.

Sakalski shook his head amusedly, bent down and knelt down on the tatami mat.He patted the floor and motioned for the boy with handicapped legs to sit down and rest, so as not to burden the dislocated right foot.

Vladimir sat cross-legged and kneeled like a model. In order to sit upright, he accidentally broke his injured leg during the process, and couldn't help baring his teeth.

Sakaski noticed the small details of the little boy's imitation of his sitting posture, and didn't say anything, but a trace of peace flashed in his eyes.He held the knife horizontally in front of him, and slowly drew the knife out of its sheath under the shining expectant eyes of the little boy——

bass--

High-quality stainless steel, forged by famous masters... The shiny blade was slowly pulled out from the pure white scabbard, and with the buzzing sound of the weapon, it appeared in front of the two of them.

"...Wow........." Vladimir has been completely conquered by this precious sword that is not ordinary at first glance.

Sakaski held up the long knife full of murderous air, his eyes slowly became dark, and he spoke with a hoarse voice:

"The name of this sword is 'Sheng Yi'. The blade is three feet long and weighs 5.6 kilograms. It is made of fine steel produced in Wano Country. It was personally cast by 'Master Kazezao', a veteran of the Navy Weapons Casting Department..."

It was also a gift that he specially asked for to give to his wife, Innissi Palace, who had started to learn swordsmanship.

It's now a relic...

Vladimir nodded blankly, staring at the precious sword named 'Sheng Yi' with bright eyes, and listened to Sakalski's explanation wholeheartedly.

Sakaski stroked the shiny and dazzling blade, and said in a deep voice: "Your swordsmanship is right. Although you only know some basics, as long as you get the correct teaching, with your aptitude, you will definitely be able to learn something."

what……

Is this a compliment to him? !

Shocked, Vladimir stared wide-eyed at the man with a watery face, and pointed at himself in disbelief: "...I...can I really do it? No way..." His sword skills Learning is stumbling, and his mother's memory is very chaotic. Only the basics can be taught him completely. In the Don Quixote family, there are either strange ability users, or old men who can only punch, and the only one who uses a sword is Diamante. The way of swordsmanship does not please him... It is really difficult for him to achieve something in swordsmanship...

But Sakaski didn't know what he was worried about, and only thought he was timid.

Sakalski gave him a majestic look, the sternness in his eyes made the little black-haired boy tremble subconsciously, he straightened his back and sat up straight, his little face immediately tightened...

As if imitating the words and deeds of the man in front of him, the child with a bruised nose, a swollen face and a wound all over his body also had a straight face, frowning, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed.

Sakaski put the knife back into the scabbard, folded his arms across his chest, and looked serious:

"As a man, how can you despise yourself like this! A man should be like this precious sword, even if he is dusted, he must never belittle himself!"

Staring at the little boy who unconsciously revealed a stubbornness between his brows and was looking at him with his head up and his face tight, Sakaski almost instinctively spoke to him in a gesture of an elder:

"A man should have big ambitions and aspirations! Since you are a martial arts practitioner, your family must not be simple. If your parents raised you in this way, you must repay that expectation with the same or even more efforts! I see that although you have aptitude, you have no way to get in. You can only learn the basics of swordsmanship, and then you have no rules, which is the fundamental reason why you suffered at the hands of those villains today!"

Sakaski: "What happened today, you had countless opportunities to escape, but why did you stay and fight those villains?!"

"Lack of practice, overestimation of one's ability, the situation just now is so dangerous, if I didn't happen to pass by, it's up to you, you can afford to think too much of yourself, think you can beat the enemy with one block and five, but unfortunately lose s consequence!"

Vladimir lowered his head, and with a pale face, he was scolded by the overbearing tall officer, his small fists were placed on his knees and he was squeezed tightly, and a layer of water vapor appeared in his light gray eyes. , but he stubbornly resisted letting that layer of water vapor gather into tears, his exquisite brows were tightly wrinkled, the corners of his mouth were stubbornly pursed, and he didn't dare to say a single sophistry.

After finishing speaking, Sakaski fell silent, his dog-like eyes stared sternly at the little boy kneeling in front of him with slightly trembling shoulders, as if waiting for his reaction.

Vladimir clenched his teeth, forced back the grievance and fear that suddenly surged up to his stomach, and opened his mouth, his voice seemed to tremble with a hint of crying: "...Yes, I'm sorry."

After being taught such a lesson by Sakalski, the little bastard who has always been aggressive, fierce and stubborn, even his mother and uncle can't control him to provoke troubles and fights, was finally trampled on his tail, and the arrogance in his body They were all scolded by the tall man, so they could only bow their heads aggrievedly and admit their mistakes.

…… If Inesis and Doflamingo were present, they would definitely be shocked by the docile and obedient appearance of the son of a bitch…

"..." Sakaski's eyes remained stern, and the child's aggrieved and pitiful figure was reflected in his light gray eyes, which made him frown even more unconsciously.

"Straighten up!!"

After a long silence, Sakaski suddenly yelled, startling the little boy whose head was getting lower and lower, and whose back was more and more curved, and quickly straightened his back!

Sakalski's full and majestic gaze was like a sharp arrow, and Vladimir, who was about to hold back the tears, felt his scalp numb subconsciously, and his small fist on his knee trembled uncontrollably ...

Sakaski: "Men, when you have a long-term ambition and walk the right path, don't belittle yourself, and remember not to be too conceited! You know how much you have! Hitting a stone with an egg is the stupidest way to fight! Today's event can be seen You must have been favored and domineering in your daily life, and you have never met an opponent who really wants to kill you, so you can’t see the seriousness of the matter so clearly! You will learn a lot of wisdom if you encounter it again in the future. How should such a thing be done?"

Vladimir straightened his uncontrollably trembling back, pursed his lips, and whispered back hoarsely: "...I dare not." Wronged.

Sakaski frowned and scolded: "Speak loudly!!"

Vladimir was so frightened that the teardrops in his eyes that were already full fell down. He raised his head and shouted viciously with all his strength: "I won't dare anymore!!!"

Sakaski's tone was still stern: "Don't dare to do anything!"

Vladimir no longer cared about it, sobbing loudly and crying loudly, choked up and shouted: "I no longer dare to be arrogant and arrogant, thinking that I can defeat enemies who don't know their background and abilities!! Woo ...I don't dare anymore..." Although she shed tears heavily, she still bit her lips to hold back her crying.

"..." Sakaski silently looked at the black-haired child who was kneeling with a straight back in front of him.Those big light gray eyes were staring at him stubbornly, and his cheeks were flushed from crying, but he still couldn't stop the tears from streaming down his face. He looked ashamed and aggrieved.

For a moment, the entire space fell silent, only Vladimir's uncontrollable sobs echoed softly.

Sakaski just waited quietly, letting the aggrieved child calm down by himself.

After all, Vladimir was still young, and his emotions came and went quickly, sobbing and crying for a while, he quickly pouted his mouth and lifted his thickly bandaged arm, wiped away the tears on his face indiscriminately, and gradually The choking sound was subsided.

Seeing that he finally calmed down, Sakaski gradually relaxed his brows.

"......... Can you remember what you said?"

"Um...remember..." (coughs)

"……………………"

Vaguely, Vladimir seemed to hear a sigh.The next second, the tall man who was kneeling in front of him stood up on his knees holding the famous knife 'Sheng Yi', raised his legs and walked towards the courtyard.

Vladimir was taken aback, wiped his nose with the back of his hand, stumbled up and followed Sakalsky's footsteps.

Sakalski came out of the reception room, put on the wooden clogs placed under the corridor, and stepped into the courtyard. He gestured to the little boy who was going to follow him down the courtyard to stay where he was, and took out the pistol. The precious steel knife walked to the center of the open courtyard.

Vladimir stared blankly at the back of the man's stalwart, sat down on the corridor, stretched out his two short legs, dangling in mid-air.

Sakaski stood still in the middle of the courtyard, took a deep breath, turned the long knife in his hand, and drew a gesture of raising his hand:

"This set of advanced swordsmanship will be helpful to your practice. I will practice it once. You can watch it."

This posture is actually to teach him swordsmanship!

Vladimir's heart beat suddenly, and his little face, which was wrinkled with grievance just now, immediately showed two little blushes of excitement, and he quickly responded loudly: "Yes, yes!! Thank you very much!!!"

Sakaski glanced at him, the black-haired child's eyes were still red and swollen from the golden beans just dropped, but the small face covered with tape showed a kind of innocence mixed with excitement, admiration and even excitement again The expression is smooth, the light gray eyes are full of little stars.

…………… It’s so coaxing.

The corners of Sakaski's mouth seemed to soften a little. In the next second, he withdrew his rare soft eyes, concentrated his thoughts, and clenched the famous knife "Shengyi" in his hand. Wielding the long knife firmly and steadily in his eyes, he really did what he said, and demonstrated the swordsmanship to the children.

The man's resolute side face, majestic brows, and the airflow brought up by every move are real, fierce and dangerous!

The aura of a strong person blowing towards the face makes people subconsciously surrender, and creates a kind of yearning for the strong...

Vladimir opened his mouth slightly, and used all the strength in his small body to focus on the steady and solid swordsmanship displayed by the tall and mighty officer. In his young heart, an indelible stalwart was gradually engraved. figure.

so hot…………

It's really... so handsome...

Almost reluctant to blink, Vladimir squeezed his small fist nervously, and the excitement surged up in his chest, making him even breathe carefully.

He also wants to be as handsome as Mr. Sakalski...

Powerful, reliable, convincing………

Handsome man! !

The author has something to say:

The big dog leads the little dog, even cursing and coaxing...

Holding back this chapter makes me want to jump off a building and laugh at the same time...

Well, the Sakasky way of parenting, give a stick and then give a candy...
