[One Piece] To be

Seeing that they are still in the white mist, those white mist are probably the [medium] of the illusion fruit ability. Although they can't guess the reason, it seems to be able to paralyze people's nerves.Lamy put down the knife, relaxed his body and let the white mist surround him.He didn't want to see Joshua's face, so he turned his head to one side. This turn of the head happened to see Liszt who appeared in front of him at some point.The little brother is still dressed in a suit and shirt, and he looks disheveled and embarrassed for not knowing what happened before.

"Oh my dear." Lamy greeted him pretending to be relaxed, "Did you see my brother?"

Liszt turned his head slightly, and the Straw Hats have already begun to exchange their encounters in the illusion like no one else. They are joking about the colorful and fancy suit of the Mad Hatter Luo in the grim wonderland, and Luo stands aside frowning. .

Everyone is still alive and well, so I finally feel relieved. It seems that Joshua really has no malicious intentions.The gatekeeper of Roughdale... Rami still felt that everything happened too suddenly.Lovedell will appear like this for no reason?But it's true when you think about it, no one has ever been able to pinpoint exactly where Ravdell is, and even Roger and his group, the only ones who have arrived, are still vague about it now.

Lamy closed her eyes tiredly, and opened them suddenly as if remembering something. She is currently having psychological shadows about sleeping and dreaming.

"Miss Queen, please don't be afraid. I told you that you have passed the test and you won't use your abilities anymore." Joshua lightly stroked the back of Lamy's hand, and the latter froze, as if a piece of ice was slipping on his body. Go—this guy has no body temperature at all.

The hideous bulge gradually calmed down, and Lamy subconsciously used her ability to find that the ever-expanding blood vessels in her body had eased down—it seemed that she had endured another side effect attack.

"You can get up now."

As if received an amnesty, Lamy stood up with his already stiff hands and feet, looked at the marks on his body that could not fade away, and couldn't help but miss the "self" who lived in a peaceful town in the illusion, the silly, white and sweet girl, so spotless His healthy body is really enviable.

Joshua also stood up, and walked towards the Straw Hats step by step. After politely interrupting their daily noise, the nun lady began to politely re-introduce herself.

"Hey! You mean that Roughdell?"

"Please allow me to re-introduce myself, Ramanga Joshua, the gatekeeper of Ravdell, a user with illusion fruit ability. You have passed the test, and you can leave [Land of Oblivion] and move on soon. You can reach the real [Roughdale].”

The Straw Hats obviously couldn't accept such a large amount of information. For decades, the dream land of countless pirates, the treasure burial place of Pirate King Goldo Roger, Ralph Dell, was found so easily?

"Unexpectedly, this guy Luffy realized his dream first, I'm really not reconciled."

"Hey, find Raftel and you will find the treasure of One Piece!" The Straw Hat boy looked very motivated, and couldn't help pressing his straw hat, the gift that Shanks gave him that changed his life.He is really about to become the One Piece King, and at that time, he must find Shanks to hold a banquet to celebrate.

"So, Joshua's family has been living here, waiting for the people on the great route to pass by, and bringing them into trials. Only after passing the trials can they move forward, is that so?" Luo quickly sorted out the clues.

"Yes, I'm very happy. After decades, there are still people who can pass the trial and find the existence of Ravdell." Joshua saluted, looking very educated and polite.Luffy obviously didn't know how to return the salute, and scratched his head to change the subject, "Well, where's the priest who talks so interestingly? Why didn't you see him?"

Almost as soon as the words fell, Mr. Priest walked over from the steps.

"Oh, super interesting priest!" Luffy waved happily, and the priest saluted with a smile.

Looking at these, Luo seemed to notice some abnormalities, but couldn't tell what was wrong.Illusion fruit is really a terrifying ability, has he already started to be suspicious?

"Mr. Trafalgar Law, can I have a few words with you alone?" The little nun ignored Luffy, who was bragging with the priest and had no sense of crisis, and turned her head to meet Luo's eyes. The golden eyes are clear and bright, making it impossible for anyone to speak doubtful words. "About Miss Queen's illness."

Ah, that's too bad, it hit Luo's weakness completely, didn't it?

So, Mr. Shichibukai and the nun walked away a little, away from the rowdy straw hat gang.

"Speak, the gatekeeper is in charge."

"...You still call me Joshua's family."

"What happened to Lamy's illness?"

"It's terrible. I checked her briefly when she was in a coma. Her body is already very fragile. If no countermeasures are taken, it will probably last a year." Joshua looked not far away, and Lamy was talking to Liszt , her complexion is getting worse and worse, but her eyes are still bright.

Luo frowned, he had heard this saying countless times.It's not like I didn't bother to find information about the blood fruit for such a long time, but every time I failed.

"The gatekeeper seems to know something."

"That's right, but please call me from Joshua's family... Joshua is fine." The little nun focused her eyes on Luo's face, looking at him like a rare treasure, which made Luo feel unreasonable. Leng, "You are a user with the fruit of surgery, right?"

"Yes."

"If you want to save Miss Queen, only [Surgery of Immortality] with the ability of immortality can do it." Joshua observed the sudden change of the other party's expression as expected, "You can choose to use the surgery of immortality to relieve sister's pain."

Luo was silent for a moment, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "If she finds out, I'll probably die of anger."

"Yeah, because the price of the ageless surgery is that the performer will die...the so-called one life for another. Even if my sister survives, she will always live in the shadows, and at the same time, your ambitions and dreams are meaningless. "

Luo interrupted her, "You came to me just to talk about this?" After saying that, he turned and prepared to leave.

"Mr. Trafalgar, I think I am qualified to say this..." Joshua's voice suddenly became ethereal. When Luo came back to his senses, he suddenly found that the surrounding scenery began to distort rapidly, and there was a sound of wind in his ears. It roared past, as if it was in a tunnel that was passing through.

"The gatekeeper is in charge..." Luo Li pulled out his knife, facing the innocent little nun, "Don't use illusion on me."

As soon as the words fell, Luo found himself in ruins, with traces of gunpowder smoke all over his body. It was a destroyed town, and the broken bricks and tiles buried the bodies of residents. It seemed that some disaster had happened here. When Luo saw Not far from the collapsed church, he realized that this was the town of [Forgotten Land], where they were originally.The little nun also looked around and explained with a smile, "This is the original appearance of the Forgotten Land. As you can see, everyone, including the city and the forest, is an illusion created by me."

"..."

"It's pathetic."

Luo shook his head, avoiding his gaze, with the word disgust clearly written on his face.

"This place used to be the same as other places on the Great Airway, but after a long time together, it encountered the Demon Slaying Order."

"Devil Slaughter Order?" The other party finally reacted a bit.

The ruins in the illusion were suddenly shrouded in white mist, and then the mist cleared, and a quiet town appeared in front of them. Although it was still an illusion, everything was full of reality.Pedestrians come and go on the street, and the smoke from the roofs curls up, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

"As you can see, this is a forgotten, remote island far away from human habitation, where people live a peaceful life. There is an ordinary little girl here. She has no father or mother and was adopted by the priest of the church. She lives a peaceful life like all children. But she is different from other children in that she is a Devil Fruit user."

Joshua's voice was ethereal, and Luo lost his mind for a moment. He saw a ten-year-old silver-haired girl with beautiful golden eyes and a mole at the corner of her eye.Wearing an ill-fitting nun's attire, she was following the priest step by step.

"She is a person with illusion fruit ability. She can manipulate the white mist to cover everything in illusion. Because she is an orphan, no one knows where she ate the fruit. At that time, she used the illusion to play pranks everywhere. Everyone hated her and feared her. , only the priest adopted her as his own daughter, took her into the church, taught her prayer and faith, told stories in the Bible and the glory of God. He named the girl Joshua, which is God in the Old Testament An assistant is also a person blessed by God."

Luo finally looked at her, "What does this have to do with the ageless surgery?"

"The person I respect the most, Father Isaac, is the last person with the fruit of surgery. He gave up medicine and turned to priesthood. He lives in seclusion in the forgotten land."

"!!!"

Then the picture changed. Countless battleships crossed the vast sea and surrounded the peaceful island. The admiral who couldn't see his face gave instructions to use the Demon Slaughter Order on the island.The cannon fire engulfed the island in an instant, and the cries of the people were drowned out by the sound of houses collapsing.The priest took off his robe, and the fruit ability that had been abandoned for many years came in handy again. The blue film enveloped the island, and the priest picked up the butcher knife again, in order to save the living as much as possible.

"It was the World Government who issued the order to slay the demons. They knew that this was the only [door] leading to Roughdale, so they simply destroyed it, thinking that no one would be able to find the legendary island again."
