[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 172 Furry is innocent

This island is shrouded in a feeling of breathlessness.

Zed looked up at the night sky over Cake Island, a clear dark blue sky dotted with stars.It is obviously a beautiful scenery, but standing here and looking at it, it seems to be covered with a glass cover, which makes people unable to breathe.

He doesn't like this place.However, before the master left, she said: Listen to Matthew before I come back, and then help me protect everyone.So, Zed will obey this order.If you do well, the owner will be very happy.Will praise myself.That's fine.

Assassination, infiltration, espionage.

Although I haven't directly learned this knowledge, or even had any "personal experience" before, my body is now acting like a veteran with more than ten years of experience in killing.What Germa gave him was somewhat useful, and Zed couldn't think of what else he could do for his master without these.In other words, besides these, no one told him what else to do.

Matthew hopes that he can simply investigate on this island to see if he can get some useful information.

Although it was already late at night, even people who hadn't slept would not wander outside, but Zed noticed that there were many people gathered somewhere.There is a place in the city that should be a church. There are a few symbolic guards outside the door. Instead of enjoying a peaceful night at home, the residents lined up in front of the church in the middle of the night.

The entire church is still very quiet, and even the children don't cry.People lined up in an orderly manner, walked into the church one by one with a calm mind, and then walked out with a relaxed expression.It's like being baptized together.

Zed has some knowledge about religion, because there may be religious people who are targeted, and understanding their "habits" is conducive to the smooth progress of assassination or espionage.But now he has no way to explain this situation, so he can only go to the church to see what happened...

The surrounding guards are not strict, as long as you climb to the top of the church from the back, you can find a way to enter the interior.Of course, if you can't get in, there are ways.As long as you mix into the crowd in line, you can justifiably go in.

However, when Zed actually saw what the people inside were doing, he was a little thankful that he didn't choose the second option.

The dark church did not turn on the lights, and only the moonlight shining in from the huge floor-to-ceiling stained glass windows in the innermost part could illuminate a small area.In that light, there were two strange creatures carrying baskets.They look like people covered with sheets, their entire body is a white cylinder with a semicircle at the top.

On this cylindrical body, there are two hollow holes like eyes, and two thin tentacles sticking out like hands.

People lined up, came to them one by one, bowed their heads respectfully, and then they would ask everyone a question: "Leave or Life?"

To leave, or to live?

Everyone will answer: "Life." Life.

Then, the two creatures stretch out their tentacles and 'take' a glowing ball from the person's chest and put it into the basket.The whole process is over.This looks a little weird, Zed watched for a while, everyone is in this process.Judging from the urban decoration outside and the attitude of the people, Totland should not be a very chaotic and uncomfortable place.

Buildings made of cakes or various desserts, a society where all ethnic groups can live in peace, and the shelter of the 'Four Emperors'.It sounds like there is no better country, but...

If these superficial beauties didn't come at a price, BigMom would probably only be known as a saint, rather than one of the most terrifying beings among the 'Four Emperors'.

"Brother Moscato, you are here."

When Zed felt that there was no need to look any further, and was about to retreat and came outside the church, he heard someone chatting on the street not far away.A woman in a purple dress and a moderately dressed man with purple highlights appear to have met on the street.

"Oh, Garrett." The man named Moscato saw his sister, and said, "I just came back from the mage, have you heard of my mother's order?"

"Well, it means that 'that' should be transferred to the island under Katakuri's elder brother's jurisdiction." When Garrett mentioned 'that', her face was a little bit bad, "How should I put it... I always feel relieved. I took a deep breath. As long as there is 'that', even if the distance is far away, I feel uncomfortable. Katakuri-san should be able to handle it..."

"Of course, he is Katakuri after all." Moscato said confidently, "Mom is very satisfied with the power of 'that'. At first I thought it was an alarmist, but it turned out to be close to the mages who established I have never doubted it since the 'shrine'... that thing is indeed a 'demon'."

"Me too..." Garrett hugged her arm, as if recalling something terrible, "I didn't expect that kind of thing to exist in this world. It's a condensate made up of pure 'fear', not human beings. It's not a ghost, it's just the monster formed by the accumulation of negative emotions... However, it has a human body."

"It is said that when his mother and mages fought with him, he revealed his real body for a while. It was a monster like a dead tree. But I don't know why even though he is exhausted and injured like now, he still maintains look like a human." Moscato said, "Well, but these are gossips. The wedding ceremony is about to begin, and we need to get ready as soon as possible."

"I see, brother Moscato."

The chat seemed to be over, and the two brothers and sisters exchanged a few pleasantries before leaving the neighborhood respectively.The content of their conversation was more interesting than the eerie scene in the church. 'Mage', 'Shrine' and... 'Demon of Fear'.Matthew should be satisfied with these.

Thinking of this, Zed prepared to return to the Seal.I hope that when we go back, Matthew and the others will have received the owner.

anxiety.

Ace stood on the pier, so anxious that he couldn't stand at all.He walked up and down, jumping on the roof, running on top of the boxes on the pier.If Matthew hadn't said that Youxiang was rushing over by himself, he would have rushed into the cake-shaped palace not far away.

Just when he wanted No.40 to ask where Matthew Youxiang was eight times, he finally saw a figure at the dim street ahead.He was about to rush over immediately, but fortunately Matthew stopped him: "Calm down, Mr. Ace. We'll talk about it when we get back to the boat."

"Well... how can I calm down!" Think about what you have told me!Ace suppressed his emotions uncomfortably, and he insisted on waiting until Youxiang ran to him bouncing around, but he held back and said nothing.

"Matthew~~~" Youxiang jumped at Matthew, "I'm scared to death, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

"Okay~~ Go over there and hug Mr. Ace first. He needs a hug urgently, or he will have a seizure." Matthew didn't even pause, and directly 'dumped' Youxiang to Ace, and then watched Looking at the shadow on the side of the street, blue light flashed twice in his eyes: "Zed has returned. I just drew a satellite map by the way, maybe it will be useful in the future."

"The two of them probably don't have time to talk to you, so let me respond to you." Frey appeared next to Matthew, and he said, "Did you find anything strange? I felt the breath of other demons. This place is unusual .”

"Miss Youxiang said 'fear' is in Totland." Matthew replied, "Can you feel your companions?"

"Ah." Frey looked at somewhere in the distance, and he said, "He's over there...but we can't get close. He seems to be caught by something rather tricky."

"Didn't you say that almost no one knows how to use the 'magic' that can seal you?"

"That's the way it is said... But the world is so big, there will always be something left over. Everything has accidents." Frey said, "In short, let's get out of here first."

"Is it okay to leave him alone?"

"It's not going to be easy to save him right now. It's gotta startle that Big Mom. Death's half bluffing to get that chick out safely. That's a real mess." Frey sighed, and he said, " If we don’t want to pay the price, then our influence on humans is minimal. So even in the stories, demons always need sacrifices or trick humans into making a deal before they act.”

"It's not all about us being greedy."

Frey said, "The fear guy will understand too. If he could talk, he'd let us go too. It's not the time yet. Don't worry, demons don't die."

"I'm not worried about you." Matthew raised his eyebrows, he said, "Miss Youxiang will definitely come back to rescue him in the future. I have no doubts about this, I just want to make some plans in advance."

"Hey... That little girl is always on this kind of thing... Forget it." It's not a day or two to be regarded as a living person.Ever since the bride's contract was concluded, I don't feel like a devil anymore.Frey gave up struggling. He said, "Let's talk about the future later. We are demons, and we have an eternity to wait."

After saying that, Frey disappeared in place.Matthew didn't think much about it, he turned around and found that Ace and Youxiang had already returned to the boat, and the only one left waiting for him was Zed who was squatting aside at some point: "I'm back."

"I know." Matthew shook his head, he said, "Have you found any useful information?"

"Saw some weird things, and got some news about the 'demon of fear'." Zed said, "I just saw the master came back."

"Ah. Let's go back to the boat first." Matthew said, "But our master probably doesn't have much time to take care of us now. She has to be busy dealing with her Shura field."

"What is the Shura field?"

"Do you know why Mr. Iji always wants to beat you, Mr. Rossi doesn't want to see you, and Mr. Ace doesn't want to talk to you?"

"...Because my ears and tail are cute, do I still get liked by the master?"

"Why are you so self-conscious about this?? Sure enough, something has been changed a bit too much!"

The author has something to say:

Moscato is the unlucky guy who was deprived of 40 years of life in order to prevent his mother's food craving at the beginning of the cake island chapter (later this food craving was cured by Jinbei in time)

Garrett is the one, wearing a super short purple tight dress with hips and a furry scarf, with short purple hair, she looks very handsome and has a bit of a punk look. She plays a lot of roles among the mother's children, and I think she is quite Taste~

I am addicted to playing games recently, and the number of saved manuscripts has plummeted... Having said that, there is still a little extra today!
