[One Piece] Lava and Red Rose

[Puff puff...]

The sound of the phone bug came from the inner room, and the tall man in a blue kimono sitting on the corridor with his arms folded and kneeling upright looked sideways at the noisy phone bug, and wrinkled impatiently. brow.

Calling at this time, could it be that the Warring States has come back?

Seeing the little boy with a limping leg who can only fix a forward stepping posture and repeat the movement of swinging a knife according to his instruction, sweating under the sun, but with a determined look and concentration, Sakalski rarely had a feeling A feeling of unwillingness to disturb the moment.

But the business phone bug was not so easily forgotten by him. The tall man hesitated for less than a second, then stood up on his knees and turned back to the living room to answer the phone.

"..." Vladimir noticed his movement, and subconsciously stopped swinging the knife, his light gray eyes followed the man's back and looked into the room.

Phone bug... Is Mr. Sakalski busy?

So... can he still stay with Mr. Sakalski...

Vladimir wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand. Practicing swords under the scorching sun was a labor-intensive job. However, under the guidance of the admiral he admired, even the boring basic skills of swinging a knife seemed to be exhausting. It has also become a very sacred and passionate thing.Seeing that Sakaski seemed to have exchanged a few words with the phone bug, he quickly ended the call, turned around and walked towards him. The black-haired child was startled, and hurriedly limped to the edge of the corridor. Looking up helplessly at the tall officer walking towards him with his sleeves folded, he cautiously asked:

"Mr. Sakalski...are you going out?"

No, he hasn't been with his idol for long...

Sakaski hummed, bent down and sat down, and carefully hugged the little boy who had trouble climbing up the corridor, and said in a deep voice, "Now we will gather at 5 o'clock as you said. It's almost time, I received a notice to go out, so I will send you to the door of the candy house." Although I don't know why the Warring States wants to see him, Teacher Zefa called, but since the superior called, he No matter what, you still have to go.

"Hey..." Sure enough, I have something to do...

The corners of the black-haired little boy's mouth immediately drooped, his delicate brows frowned, and a deep sense of loss even floated in his eyes.

Sakaski turned his head to look at the unhappy boy holding the snow-white long knife that was even taller than himself, a smile flashed in his eyes, but his voice was still majestic, even pretending to scold Shen Sheng said: "What? Playing crazy outside, don't you want to go home?"

Vladimir quickly shook his head, denying eagerly: "No! I am not unwilling to go home! Kassan is still waiting for us at home, we will never leave Kassan alone!" Holding 'Sheng Yi', he raised his head and looked seriously at Sakaski's dark eyes.

Vladimir: "Kassan will be worried!" Speaking of his mother, his eyes drifted unconsciously to the familiar flower tattoo exposed by the man.

Hmm...the more I look at it, the more it looks like...almost exactly the same.

Vladimir remembered his uncle's serious instructions before he landed, and twirled the question on the tip of his tongue before carefully swallowing it back into his stomach.

The uncle said that any relevant information about Kasang should not be disclosed, otherwise the Tianlong people would know, and the three of them, mother and child, would be in danger.

And the navy is the facade organization of the world government. Telling the navy is the same as telling the Tianlong people.

Even Mr. Sakalski...he couldn't tell.

Although he was super curious why the admiral he met by chance had tattooed arms that were almost exactly the same as his mother's...

What was going on in the little black-haired boy's mind, Sakaski didn't know, the tangle on his face was regarded by the tall officer as stubbornness in wanting to prove his innocence, but he didn't think there was something deeper.

Again, Sakalski missed his chance to touch the truth.

Sakaski let out a muffled laugh, the vibration from his chest was filled with strong male hormones, so sexy that his legs went limp...

It's good that he can still remember his mother, this little devil is not a supercilious wolf.

But the little boy next to him seemed to be "single-mindedly obsessed with proving his innocence". Seeing Sakalski laughing out loud, he immediately realized that he had been tricked, and his little face flushed instantly.

Vladimir blushed and muttered: "...Mr. Sakasky, don't make fun of me."

"Heh." The man who looked as tall as a mountain compared to the petite and immature boy snorted, and in the next second, his warm and thick palms covered the boy's head, rubbing the boy's stunned face. Little Thorn: "Then obediently listen to your lord and don't run around anymore. Get ready, I'll take you there right away." After saying that, he stood up and planned to go back to the room to change clothes and go out.

However, a small hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes.

Sakaski turned around: "...What's wrong."

Vladimir seemed to have something to say, he tugged at the corner of his clothes tightly, and squeezed his lips tightly. There was an inexplicable light in his light gray eyes, and his red cheeks seemed to be getting hotter.The little black-haired boy opened his mouth, as if mustering all the courage in his body, tremblingly let out a little voice from his throat:

"Sa, Mr. Sakarsky, I..."

Sakaski looked at him silently, did not speak, and waited for his next words.

Facing the man's oppressive gaze, Vladimir's rosy cheeks twitched slightly. Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind and shouted loudly:

"I, I also want to be a handsome man like Mr. Sakaski!!!"

"..." Sakaski seemed a little surprised to be robbed by the little boy.

Vladimir gave it all away, holding the precious famous knife 'Sheng Yi' in one hand, and grabbed Sakalski's clothes with the other to get up, stubbornly staring at the man's dark eyes, and said loudly: "I I want to be a man who can protect what I want to protect! Just like Mr. Sakasky!! I am not afraid of those bad guys at all!! Beat them all to the ground with one hand!!!”

Simply, so handsome! !

Bear the name of justice and wipe out the evil people in the world! !

This is a real man!Iron man! !

There was a transparent light in the child's light gray eyes, brighter than the stars, brighter than diamonds, full of his seriousness and determination.

Like him...a handsome man...

Sakaski's eyes widened slightly, and he stared at the stubborn boy in astonishment, feeling a little speechless for a moment.

The look in this little guy's eyes seems familiar...

bright, persistent...

"…………you……"

The two stalemate for a long time before the tall man opened his mouth.

The man turned around, and the corners of his mouth that had been tense seemed to soften a lot.He snorted and said in a deep voice, "Then try to become a navy, kid."

Under Vladimir's surprise eyes, Sakalski folded his arms and folded them in his sleeves, his voice was slightly hoarse with an old smokey voice: "Take up the word of justice and fight for it all your life. But every man has his own "justice" in his heart, but there are very few people who can really practice his own justice... If you want to be a "handsome" man, join the army."

Sakaski's eyes gradually became determined, just like the serious expression on the face of a little black-haired boy.At this moment, if there are bystanders, they will definitely find that the stubbornness between the big and small brows is almost carved out of the same mold, even the arc of the frown is exactly the same!

Sakaski: "The minimum age for admission to the Naval Academy is 10 years old. If you still insist on this idea at that age, join the army...As a navy, implement your own justice and wipe out all evil people in this world , ushering in a new era!"

"Our justice is undefiled!"

Sakalski's words carved a row of deep words on the little boy's heart like a knife, Vladimir nodded vigorously, and returned firmly with a milky voice: "I will definitely come! ! I'm going to be a Marine!! Just like Mr. Sakalski-"

[hum...]

The pure white scabbard was tightly held by the child's fleshy little hand, and the famous knife named "Sheng Yi" made a faint buzzing sound in the child's hand. Vladimir was so immersed in his grand ambitions that he didn't notice it. , but Sakarski keenly captured the flashing movement of 'Sheng Yi'.

This is……

Sakasky frowned.

There has always been a saying among swordsmen——

The so-called treasured sword has a spirit, and it chooses the master to live in.

Did it... choose this child as its new owner?

"...'Sheng Yi'..." Sakaski half-closed his eyes and stared at the famous sword that only gave a short low beep before no longer responding, and murmured.

"Eh?" Vladimir was taken aback, subconsciously looking at the long knife in his hand, not understanding why Sakalski suddenly mentioned this.

Sakaski looked at the black-haired prickly little boy in front of him with complicated eyes. He carefully scanned his brows and eyes to identify the delicate little face covered with tape and bruised and purple. A familiar breath...

After thinking for a long time, until Vladimir was already stared at by him, his scalp was numb and he was at a loss, thinking that something was not done well and he would be scolded, Sakalski suddenly realized——

Ah, I think about a lot of things... Doesn't this child look a lot like when I was a child?

It doesn't refer to the appearance, but refers to the stubbornness and fierceness in the child's eyebrows and eyes, as well as the aggressive and aggressive character, which is almost exactly the same as when I was a child.

Ha ha... this is interesting.

'Sheng Yi' ah, you are very optimistic about this child, right...

if it is like this……

Just when Vladimir was about to be unable to withstand the coercion and apologized first (although he didn't know why he apologized), Sakasky suddenly snorted, which scared the black-haired child enough.

However, his next sentence gave the child a big surprise that could be called a bombing level.

Sakaski said in a deep voice, "You can keep this knife."

Vladimir was taken aback: "...Huh?"

"'Sheng Yi'." Sakaski's voice seemed to be smiling, but it contained majesty.He stared fixedly at the stunned little boy who didn't seem to understand what he said, and said in a deep voice, "This was originally my dead wife's saber, now that he has chosen you, you should keep it. "

Sakaski: "This 'Sheng Yi' will belong to you from today on."

The man's voice was like a voice from outside the sky, passing through the ears of the little boy whose mind was already confused, causing the boy's face to flush with excitement uncontrollably.

Eh……

What did Mr. Sakarski say...

Vladimir lowered his head, staring blankly at the pure white scabbard in his hand, the gorgeous long sword with several circles of traditional patterns inlaid with gold threads on the top, and swallowed subconsciously.

This knife...

It's him?
