[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 146 Tattoo Prohibition

Matthew the big liar! ! !

There are fragrant bubbles bubbling in the hot tub for a long time.The result is a traditional bathhouse!Why did you say it so strangely!What kind of world did Matthew live in before?hateful! !

"Miss Youxiang, can you hear that over there? Everyone has almost recovered, I think we should get down to business." Matthew's voice came from the men's bathroom next door.Because it is indeed occupied by Drake, there are no 'outsiders'.And there are no women in Drake's pirate group, so there are only Youxiang, Nami and Robin in the women's bath.

"Hmph!" Youxiang was still brooding over the fact that Matthew was molesting her, so she decided to answer Matthew with only the word 'hum'.

"Don't be so angry... Hahaha..." Matthew obviously wasn't reflecting, he said, "Then as compensation, I'll take more photos for you here—"

"I don't want it! Matthew is a big idiot!!" What are you talking about in the picture? Why am I blushing! !You Xiang almost jumped out of the water, Matthew would tease him!

"Really? Really? I'm tired of seeing other people's muscles, don't you want to see Mr. Drake's??"

"Frey, can you help me throw Matthew under the water so he can calm down?"

"Hey! Wait! Wait~Wait~~~ I'm kidding! Really! I didn't take a single picture!" Matthew immediately faltered, and he said, "Don't let me sink to the bottom! Don't! I So scary! Well, let’s get down to business... about my kidnapping by Germa 66.”

"But you weren't kidnapped." Ace interjected, making an important point. "You're still here... right?"

"My body is also very expensive, Mr. Ace. It is basically a part of me. Although I don't like it, it is an important prop for my 'sentence'. Without it, my sentence will be extended. Yes." If you lose it, you will pay for it!It's all on me!Matthew emphasized so much.

"But... your sentence has been extended to the point where it doesn't matter if you add a little more?" Sabo remembered how long this guy's crimes were.When I was a child, as an excuse for not wanting to sleep at night, questioning Matthew about his 'crime' was one of the worst things I've ever done since I grew up.This guy just read the crime for three full nights, and then dreamed of the voice of his crime every day for the following week, it was terrible.

"That's what I said, but all my charges are: true." Matthew said very seriously, "I don't want to be charged with a crime that is not my fault! Mood! My mood is different So, about my body being kidnapped—the other party didn’t realize it was just a shell, but it doesn’t matter, it’s not bad anyway. Now I know their purpose.”

Then Matthew roughly told what he had heard in Germa.Including the deal Iji made with him about Beska Metal, the secret of the clones of the Germa 66 Legion and the real reason for kidnapping him-letting him help create a brand new creature that has never existed in this world, An 'artificial human'.

"Although I really want to tell them that after this artificial human is created, it can only reach the limit level of the fur tribe at most, and it may not even be comparable to the directly transformed human beings. But now I say that they will not accept it. of."

Matthew said with a little helplessness in his tone, "However, no matter what, this artificial man is still made with the goal of being an 'ultimate killer'. His instilled knowledge, combat experience and skills are enough to make everyone Some people are in a nightmare. Although it can't be what Germa expected, but he still has considerable value."

"It's kind of strange to say that..." Usopp interjected, and he said, "But that created...human? Is he also a human? It's kind of pitiful to think so..."

"Well... I also think this is a bit cruel." Chopper nodded, he said, "It was created directly, with no past and no present. I don't know anyone, have no friends and companions, and don't even belong to any race... ..." Chopper seemed to recall his previous experience, "He must be in great pain, right?"

"If Germa allows him to have the emotions of 'pain' or 'sorrow'..." Matthew said, "well. They haven't asked for it yet. But Germa's princes are deprived of these emotions, They are perfect fighters but incomplete human beings. This is Germa's greatest strength and their greatest weakness."

"Matthew...can you help him?" Youxiang said suddenly, "If...if someone accepts him, if someone tells him what is right and what is wrong from the very beginning, then he It doesn't have to be... the kind that makes himself and others unhappy?"

"..." I knew you would say that, Miss Youxiang.Matthew paused, and he said, "So I have a plan. A plan that allows us to take the lead, and Germa must also give up three points. However, the purpose of this plan is just to 'save this artificial human' That’s all. It may not produce too many other benefits, so are you willing to do it?”

What Matthew said was the plan to negotiate with Doflamingo?Sometimes he would always test everyone's answers before telling his plan, as if he would adjust the content of the plan according to the answers.Matthew is a casual guy, and it can be said that there is not a single thing here that he really wants to do.He did this, as if he was doing some kind of experiment, experimenting with the 'nature' of human beings.

"Hmm... Although I don't quite understand what Matthew said... what kind of manufacturing, cells and so on." Luffy's voice appeared first, and after he said this, he suddenly heard a whoosh , he actually climbed up the blocking wall in the middle, lay down on it and poked his head over——

"What are you doing all of a sudden?!!!"

"Come down! You brat!!"

"Luffy!!! I can't help it! I can only go up and get him down—"

Scared to death, Luffy!I still don't care about this kind of thing at all like before! !Although Nami and Robin were also taken aback, they seemed to be used to it.Youxiang was a little panicked, and at this time Luffy spoke first: "Well, Xiangxiang. Do you understand? You have always been smarter than me... We are pirates, and it is very difficult to do this kind of thing like a hero." Strange, right? But ah..."

"If it's something your companion wants to do, it's another matter! What do you think?"

"Lufei..." Youxiang looked at his serious and sincere eyes, almost forgot what the scene was and stood up from the water, she said, "I'm not sure... Lufei is right .I'm not a hero, so it's a bit weird to meddle in such nosy business. But the feeling of wanting to help him is not because I want to be a hero, but because..."

Companionship.Because there is a sense of companionship.Will be abandoned by the whole world, be used as a tool, have no companions, be alone... This almost became his own destiny.If it weren't for a series of coincidences, or because of the whim of many, many people 'this is the right way'...

So, in order to repay these real 'heroes', can I also be 'on a whim' for someone, and then say 'this is the right way' with a clear conscience?

"Because I want to help him! Luffy! There is no special reason!"

"Ok!"

Luffy seemed very satisfied with this answer, he laughed: "Then let's help him! Matthew! You have to make him a funny guy!"

"I can't control that kind of thing!" What a strange request!Matthew retorted, and at this time Luffy had been pulled back by Ace, and was immediately held down by Sanji and others to ask him what he saw.

"I can't see clearly! It's all fog!" Luffy replied like this, because it's Luffy, so it shouldn't be perfunctory, but really didn't see clearly.He said indifferently, "Then what is Matthew's plan?"

"I was about to say it." Matthew also clarified the matter about Doflamingo, "because Mr. Luo's plan happened to involve him, although I don't think he took Mr. Luo and Luffy seriously. Mister is regarded as a big threat, but he is not the blind and arrogant type. And this plan can just distract him and let us cooperate internally and externally."

"I object." Luo's voice sounded immediately, and he said, "Leave aside the man-made thing. I don't want Youxiang to get close to Doflamingo. Not at all. She shouldn't be close to that person either. Cora Sir! Say something too!"

"This, this..." Rossi hesitated to speak, he had actually thought about it, and thought about Matthew's plan very seriously. He admitted that until now, he still had a little hope in his heart, a little humble hope.He hoped that his brother still had at least a little bit of real yearning for the family and family in the past, even if there was only a little bit.

Not his so-called 'Doflamingo family' now, but a real home, a real family.Rossi hopes that Dover will have even a chance to understand the true meaning of the word 'family'.If he really cared, if he really missed a little... then Matthew's plan would succeed.

Rossi didn't know if Matthew was betting on it, maybe, his plan was always on the edge of a knife now and then.

"Mr. Cora?" Are you kidding? Don't tell me you think this will work? ?Luo said in disbelief, "No. I won't agree."

"Mr. Luo disagrees..." It was completely expected.Matthew said, "Then let's not bring him himself."

"Wait for me!!" What do you mean don't take me... Luo immediately interrupted Matthew, he said, "Are you kidding... Do you know what you are talking about, Matthew? I am... I know it very well That man! Don't look at his appearance, whether it's his subordinates or his so-called 'family', he can abandon and use at will. He even uses dirty means to force people to submit, no matter how despicable things he does Come out."

"This is not the level of a disgusting guy like Caesar or any other enemies you have encountered in the past. He can force the navy and the world government to compromise with him and make him a man of the Qibuhai!"

I won't agree anyway...it doesn't matter what you want to do, but I won't allow...never allow another important person of mine to get hurt because of that man and...then...

"If you must do this... we don't need an alliance, the Straw Hats."

"Hey?! Why are you like this, Traman!"

"That's it. I can't...forget it anymore." The head hurt again.Although the hot bath has some effect, but... Luo couldn't calm down.He got up from the bath and walked out.Seeing this, Rossi immediately said, "Sorry! Everyone...well, Luo...he is actually very..."

"Rosie, did he watch you get killed?" Ace had already felt it, it must be so... He said, "It is understandable for him to object... To be honest, I am not very relieved .If you let Youxiang go to that kind of dragon pond and tiger's lair alone, even if she says 'no problem~', there is no way not to worry about it!"

"It is rumored that Doflamingo hijacked the 'Heavenly Gold' enshrined to the Tianlong people, in order to blackmail the world government and let him become the Qiwuhai." Sabo seemed to agree with Ace's thoughts, he said, "Just now Luo Ye It was mentioned... that he was the man who made the navy and the world government compromise with him. At the same time, there are many exaggerated rumors about Doflamingo's identity."

"..." Rossi didn't know what to say.He knew what Dover's "exaggerated identity" meant, because he was too!He looked at the people here, they are all good people, although it is strange to say pirates, and he is still a navy and shouldn't say these things, but they are indeed the kind of people who can fight for the so-called "loyalty" and "righteous way". People who do their best are completely different from those despicable pirates.

Because of this, he did not dare to say that 'exaggerated identity'.He still remembered the attitude and expression when he met Tianlongren in Xiangbodi Islands.Although Sabo-kun was lucky to survive, Rossi still didn't dare to face it. As long as he imagined that Youxiang would look at him with such eyes, he would feel distressed.

Can't say anything, nothing... can't say anything.

"At the end of the day, you still think that Youxiang doesn't have the ability to deal with Doflamingo... right?"

Suddenly, someone spoke directly.Everyone turned their heads in surprise, only to find——

"Ah!! You're still here!!"

"Why are you here! Overhearing?!"

"What should we do? Are we leaking secrets??"

"...Of course I'll be here, I've arranged this place!" Drake looked at this group of people helplessly, what was he thinking.He said, "Although I don't think Youxiang can resist that 'Ten Yasha' in pure force, doesn't this plan just require her to 'gain Doflamingo's trust'? It seems to me that there is none of you better suited for the task than she?"

smart people! !

So serious!Reasonable and well-founded!Think calmly!Take care of the overall situation! !Matthew even wanted to use a projector to set off a firework in the bathhouse!Miss Youxiang actually met a serious and smart man!incredible!This is something to celebrate!There is a party! !

"In terms of gaining trust..." Youxiang is basically a kitten who is loved by everyone and whose flowers bloom everywhere.No one would think of her in a bad way, even a guy like Sakaski, who was as stubborn as a meteorite, had to think about what kind of expression he wanted to put on when he saw her.That's right, Ace understands.But, "But! Super worried is another matter!"

"That's right. It's just a matter of mood. Mood!" Sabo nodded, and then he said righteously, "Speaking of which, why do you seem to be familiar with Youxiang? Who are you?"

Here we go again, absolute overprotection.Ace and Sabo are more and more like grandpas!Youxiang thought so in her heart, she actually cared a little bit about Luo, so she quietly talked to Nami and the others and went out first.Putting on a piece of loose clothes provided by the bath, You Xiang quickly found Luo in the public rest area outside the bath.

He was also wearing the clothes provided by the bath, with the buttons of his half-sleeved shirt unbuttoned, sitting in a corner of the rest area with a strange face and a very irritable face.Because this place is reserved, there are actually no other people around.Youxiang took two bottles of cold milk (it's in the refrigerator, special for private use), walked over to him and sat down.

"Here's your milk~" She handed a bottle of milk to Luo.

"Yeah." Luo responded. He took the milk, but just twirled it in his hand and didn't intend to drink it. "Did I let you down?" He asked.

"Am I so easily disappointed? Mr. Luo?" Are I usually so strict?Youxiang said, "I can understand Mr. Luo's feelings. Rossi also told me that that person is scary and dangerous."

"...Mr. Cora said that he doesn't want to be afraid of that man anymore. He wants to face him, with you." Luo replied, "But I... if I face him alone, I will I can do it. But with you around, I can't. I will be afraid, I will be shaken, and then he will see it, he must see it... and then you and I will become very dangerous."

"Mr. Luo wants to protect me. I know it." Youxiang tried to open the lid of the milk bottle but failed, "But I can also protect everyone... this one can't be opened."

"Hey..." It's really not convincing at all, you Xiang.Luo sighed, he uncapped his milk bottle and handed it to Youxiang, then took the one in Youxiang's hand and played with it, "Are you really not scared at all, Youxiang?"

"Hmm~~ It must be a lie to say that I'm not afraid at all." Youxiang took a sip of milk, it was so refreshing... She said, "I met Doflamingo during the battle on the top. He is indeed terrifying, even if I don't know about domineering... I can still feel his strength. And his strange abilities, it's very tricky to think about. But... At that time, I wasn't very scared."

"Even if he was very close, I didn't feel that I couldn't run anymore. Even if he was threatening me or even grabbed me, I didn't have the slightest thought of backing down. Isn't it strange? I know he is dangerous... …Obviously I was really scared, but I faced him.” Youxiang looked at Luo who came over and smiled, “Because I knew someone needed me at that time. So I don’t care anymore!”

"But Youxiang, now—"

"I know, oh, I know it's strange to do so much for someone I don't even know... But, I think, it's also for Mr. Luo, Rossi, and myself." Youxiang lowered her eyes slightly, she Said, "Don't tell Ace them... I... actually want to know about my mother. I want to know why she left me, why she sent me so far away. Although everyone is very good, I'm happy now too, but... I still want to know... want to know about things that may no longer matter. So when Matthew said that the plan might get a clue..."

Speaking of this, Youxiang raised her head again and smiled wryly: "Stupid, right? I always think about these silly things!"

Ahh... What the hell should I do... It's me, I'm so stupid.I failed to consider your mood.You are already brave enough to face those dangers, you have goals you want to understand and work hard for, I should understand, I should...but...

"At that time, when I... when I heard that Mr. Cora was killed... I was really desperate and scared like never before. I don't want to experience that feeling again. Youxiang."

"Mr. Luo..."

"I'm sorry, I really can't do it! I can't... I can't face that kind of thing again!? How do you let me... How can I take the risk of repeating the same mistakes again—I have already..."

I'm already in love with you! !what can I do! !Uh, ah, I can't say it... I don't want to 'kidnap' her with these words, I don't want to stop her with this kind of selfishness!But it's so uncomfortable, why, why until now I'm still bound by that man!Why did I realize now that I really never escaped from his control all the time!

This kind of mood... Angry and sad, with this kind of mood, how can I get close to you who have such pure desire and courage?

"Mr. Luo. It's okay."

"Even if you say so, I will..."

"I have Rosie~Frey and powerful demons!"

"I don't believe in any of those demons except Mr. Cora."

"Isn't there still Mr. Cora?"

"Hey... you must go, right? Even if I am here now, acting coquettishly, grabbing your sleeve and crying to tell you not to go, you will still go, right?"

"No... If Mr. Luo really reaches that point, then I..." Then I really want to see it!Youxiang imagined that scene, it was really unimaginable!She said, "Mr. Luo, put me in your plan and let me help you. Okay?"

"........."

"Please~~"

"Foul!!" Don't act like a baby to me at this time! !Luo immediately moved away from Youxiang's coquettishness, and said, "Even if you say so, I can't—"

"I am confident that Doflamingo will personally buy me ice cream!!"

"Ugh! Don't say it! I have a picture in my mind!! Stop it!! Don't!! Absolutely don't eat it!!"

"Hahaha... Mr. Luo is so interesting..."

"You Xiang! I seriously want to reject your proposal! You should be serious too!"

"Oh... But Mr. Luo has no way to refuse, right?"

"Don't say it so easily!!"

"Leave it to me! I will definitely find useful information for you! Speaking of which, Mr. Luo's tattoo is amazing...can I touch it?"

"Don't change the subject suddenly!! If it's yours... But, it's fine if you can touch it——Isn't the position where you directly touched it too subtle!?"

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Now in Matthew's heart, Kagawa is no longer the serious and smart person he was at the beginning. (It's a scumbag who thinks about other people's sisters all day long but doesn't really like other people's sisters)

Originally, I wanted the little dinosaur to come out to meddle, but Cang Cang was partial... Enjoy!Lo!This last time together!Because next!This is the home field of your Mr. Cora! !Watch me change the cover! !
