[One Piece] To be

The people walked into the town without incident, and saw the townspeople coming and going in the town. They were ordinary people with simple clothes and peaceful expressions. They probably lived on an isolated island and were self-sufficient. Seeing These outsiders were also surprised, and even gathered around to look at them curiously, but they quickly dispersed and continued to be busy with their own lives.

The priest was right. There were shops in the town where vegetables, meat, and fresh water could be bought, and the prices were quite reasonable.There are also shops for polishing ironware, and there is even a small movie theater.I have to say that these people seem to be living well in remote islands.

I bought all the necessities according to the plan list I made before. At this time, the sun was about to set, and it obviously didn't take long.That's when they noticed that the island had no clock, not even a phone bug, and the townspeople basically followed the sunrise and sunset.To make matters worse, there are no hotels here because no outsiders come here!

"Are you kidding? I finally found the town. Do you want to sleep on the street?" Nami was very angry at this situation. There would be no hotels on the islands of the New World, so she had to find someone to stay overnight, but the people in the town didn't seem to care. He was too willing to talk to them, even though these pirates walked around the street for most of the afternoon, no one cared about them. After the initial novelty wore off, it was as if they didn't exist.

Unknowingly, they walked to the door of the pure white church.When I walked in, I found that the church was very big, and it was almost a large building compared with the surrounding small houses. Except that the whole was painted in dazzling white, the shape of the church was no different from that on other islands. At this time, it seemed It doesn't look like anyone.

So it's probably okay to stay here for a night.

Luffy pushed open the heavy door first.What catches the eye is the spacious, bright and spotless auditorium, with rows of clean seats, giving people a bright feeling. I don’t know why, as soon as I walk into this church, I feel as if I have come to another world. A world of peace and comfort.

In front of the podium, the white-robed priest I met before was reading an open Bible in a language they could not understand. The little nun was sitting in front of the piano beside her, stopping the priest to recite words, her fingers slowly touching the keys It was flowing, but only knocked out a few single notes.

"Father, excuse me!"; Luffy walked over recklessly, passed through the unoccupied seat and walked straight to the priest, but the other didn't even look up, and continued chanting to the Bible.Luffy couldn't understand what he was talking about, so he lowered his head and studied the book curiously, and found that the text on it was not the text circulated by the Great Airway.

"You are so strange, there is no one here, who are you reading to?" Lu Fei asked curiously with his arms on the table.

The priest finally finished reading, closed the thick Bible, and said with a smile, "I am preaching to the dust."

"How could Dust understand your words?"

"Even dust without thinking can feel the gospel of God."

"Hahahaha, you are so interesting!" Lu Fei smiled and slapped the table, but this kind of action was not polite, and the priest didn't bother with him, "Could you guys not be able to find a hotel?"

"how do you know?"

"God told me."

"Hahaha, the gods know us?"

"We are all God's children, and God will call us by name accurately, just as parents can easily call their children's names."

"Ah...it's so complicated, I don't understand, anyway, God is a very powerful guy, right?" Luffy was finally stunned by the priest, "My dad is not called God, but his name is Drago (Dragon). "

This time it was the priest who smiled, "If there is a chance, I will slowly tell you the story of God, you guys, let's live in the church tonight, God will entertain all the lost children."

Well, although this Mr. Priest's style of painting is different from everyone else's, at least the place where he lives is resolved.

"Liszt?" Lamy came back to her senses, and only then did she realize that Liszt, who had been in the team all along, was gone.

"what happened?"

"You guys, has anyone seen Liszt?"

"That black-haired guy? Didn't pay attention, he was too quiet and walked behind again."

"Could it be eaten by a giant Godzilla? It's scary!"

"...I would rather believe that he walked to a different time and space."

"Ahhh, this is scary too!"

"...Joba-kun, I was joking."

At this time, the little nun in front of the piano also stood up and walked in front of everyone.Slowly took off the wide cloak hat, she was a very beautiful little girl with conspicuous silver-white hair, her eyebrows and eyelashes were all silver-white, her pupils were more conspicuous golden, and there was a small mole under the corner of her eye , looks ethereal and beautiful like an elf, not like a person born on a remote island like this.

"Everyone, please follow me and take you to the guest room at the back of the church." The little nun clasped her hands together and smiled politely.

"What a lovely lady~ My name is Sanji! May I ask your name?" Needless to say, it was the routine nympho state of the Straw Hat cook.But is it really okay to do this to the nun?

"Lamanga Joshua is the adopted daughter of Father Isaac and a nun here, please give me your advice, Sanji-san."

It turned out that the priest's name was Isaac.

Little nun Joshua sized up the group of outsiders, and finally fixed her gaze on Lamy, "Ma'am, you seem to be in poor health and anxious."

Of course, the bad health is due to the blood fruit, and the anxiety is due to the sudden disappearance of Liszt.Of course, the latter made her even more annoyed now, she couldn't even get through the phone bug, and didn't know where that guy went, this wasn't like his usual style.

"Yeah, the current state can be called desperate, hehehe..." Lamy replied a little bluntly. She had a good impression of the clergy at first, and it always reminded her of the nuns and sisters in the white town when she was a child, but These two always gave her a sense of unreality. She felt that they were not priests at all, but rather like the kind of blasphemers on the street who talked about God and salvation, solicited preaching and cheated money everywhere.

"Although I don't know what happened to you, I hope you can have a good rest and have a good dream tonight." Joshua continued to keep his palms folded, "There is no despair in this world, and the light of salvation full of mercy, It will surely come upon you."

Well, well, people say good things.Lamy nodded, "Thank you."

Without any notice, Luo frowned. Even though the brim of the hat was covering him, he still couldn't calm down after hearing that sentence.That was clearly the last thing the nun said to herself the day the white town was destroyed, exactly the same.

At this time, Luffy actually chatted with the priest, and it seemed that the conversation was very lively. Didn't expect these two people to have a common language?One is an adventurer with an empty head and the other is a humble and polite priest—how could it be possible.

"Let's go Luffy! I'm sorry, Mr. Priest, for causing you trouble!" Nami dragged away the straw hat boy who was about to chatter.

"Where, God will bless you." The priest smiled and waved.

(sixty) nightmare

Midnight fell, and the entire island was completely silent. There was no light to be seen in the dark night. The residents of the town could no longer be seen. The lights in the houses were also turned off. Even the stars were blocked by the fog over the island. Only the town The church in the center was still lit, and the bright lights reflected the white walls, which looked a little creepy.

In the guest room in the backyard of the church, the Straw Hats and the Hearts were crowded together in the same room. It didn't matter that they were all men, and they slept in a crooked ball, regardless of whether the bed was on the floor or a hammock.Among them, Luffy was the least image sleeping, with his mouth wide open, one foot on Chopper's hat, and one hand on Usopp's long nose.It made everyone else sleep uncomfortably, but that guy didn't realize it at all.

In contrast, Hong Xintuan's sleeping posture is much better. Luo is still leaning against Beibo, maintaining the posture of sitting and taking a nap with the knife in his arms, with his head hanging down. It seems that he is not sleeping peacefully, and his eyelashes are constantly shaking.

The next room is the girl's dormitory, only Nami Robin and Lamy live there, so it looks much more spacious.A lamp was lit in front of the table, and Robin was reading a book under the light. It had very complicated ancient square characters on it, and it was the characters commonly used by the red people on Asia Island—it turned out that she had taken Asia’s book with her ?

Lamy curled up under the quilt, also sleeping very restlessly.At this time, the similarities between the brothers and sisters are reflected, even the expressions of frowning and trembling eyelashes in sleep are exactly the same.

The hall of the church was filled with candles at the moment, and Joshua slowly started to light each candle. After a long time, the entire hall was shrouded in faint candlelight, and the rows of seats were still empty. The atmosphere in the quiet hall was a little weird.The little nun lit the last white candle and returned to the podium with a sigh of relief. Father Isaac was still standing there, silently flipping through the Bible, pausing from time to time to mutter words.

"Father, it's time for you to go to rest." Joshua leaned closer to him, his golden eyes seemed to glisten with sparkling water.

The priest slowly closed the Bible, touched Joshua's head, and turned to leave.

"Can you play the piano for me before you go? Any one is fine."

The priest walked back slowly, walked to the piano bench, and pressed the first note on the keys with his slender fingers. Then, as if he had regained some feeling, the sound of the piano began to echo throughout the church.

Joshua stayed quietly for a while listening to the familiar melody, and said softly, "This will wake everyone up, let's forget it."
