[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 183 The Rotating World

The prize for the arena champion...is it a burnt fruit?Dover really stirs up the atmosphere.This news should have been released long ago, no wonder Dressrosa has been full of troublesome people these days.

As Violet listened to the voices of the 'subordinates' discussing around her, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when she thought about it.She always remembered what Youxiang said to her: "All the choices you made in the past were for this moment."

She was waiting, waiting for a moment.Although she wasn't sure what it was, she had a premonition, a premonition she got from a dream that told her that it was coming soon.immediately……

Violet couldn't help but clutched her clothes tightly.She has been inexplicably restless these days.

"Miss Violet, you should calm down." Matthew's voice came from her, this small board is too convenient.It's not clear how it works, but the man 'inside' it is an overly scary character.Not in the same horrible way as Dover.Anyway, Violet absolutely does not want to be his enemy.

"I've been waiting for this day for ten years." Violet looked at her hands, she said, "There are so many things that came back to my mind in the past few days, the details are as clear as if they happened yesterday. I can feel it, Matthew. It's coming soon."

"…………"I hope so.I hope Mr. Ro's plan will work out regardless of what Doflamingo did to Dressrosa, he will pay the price.However... I've also seen too many moments where my hopes have been dashed.Don't expect too much now.

Matthew paused, and he said, "If you can't relax, let me teach you a way, Miss Violet."

"Ok?"

"Zed. Come here." Matthew said so.Then Zed, who had been standing not far behind since the very beginning, came over, squatted at Violet's feet, his tail swung slowly twice, his ears turned outward and fell down: "What's the matter?" Matthew?"

"It's nothing serious. Let Miss Violet touch your head."

"Hey?! That, no, it's not very good!" Although!Although this man...his ears look fluffy and easy to touch, but, no matter what, he is also a strange man whom he has only known for a long time... Violet was still hesitating, and Zed stretched his head over: "please."

"No, no...that...you don't have to force it!!" It's too obedient!Don't treat yourself like a dog!Although... it does look like a dog!Violet flustered a bit (because she really wanted to touch), "I, my... no, no, it's okay—"

"Miss Violet is the master's friend." Zed didn't care at all, he didn't have any special expression on his face, he just looked at Violet and said, "And the fragrance is not annoying... touch my head It's okay. The master said, let me protect her friend. So I will protect you, don't worry."

"Thank you..." It's a very good boy... not good!Accidentally mistook him for a puppy!But... Now that he has said so, let's touch it... Violet reached out hesitantly, and stroked Zed's head - it feels so good!The hair and the hair on the ears are fused together, and they are all very soft, with some white fluff in the black, and this warm feeling is completely incomparable to dolls and the like.

The only thing comparable to this feeling is the big cat (Plop) I met before! !

"Relaxed, Miss Violet?" Matthew asked, "Unfortunately, Zed only has the gene of a gray wolf, so he can't make a purring sound like a cat. Pupu is fine here."

"I can bark if I need to," Zed added.

"No need!!" Wouldn't that make me look weird!Violet recovered from the furry, she said, "Thank you for worrying about me... I'm fine." She retracted her hand and said, "Actually, I was more worried about Youxiang. You said she went back to Dover, really Is it all right? Let a child like that be alone with Dover..."

"First of all...Miss Youxiang will never be 'alone' at any time. At least it hasn't happened so far." Matthew emphasized, "If she can, she might want to experience that feeling. Secondly , I think it's more realistic for you to worry about Doflamingo becoming weird."

"So..." Dover was indeed a little strange during this time.It became less noisy.A tired look that doesn't want to make trouble, and won't be angry with his subordinates. He used to be quite harsh on those minions, but he didn't even manage much during this time. He just sat alone on the second floor of the palace. what to think.

"Dover will stay with the child as long as the child is in the palace," said Violet.

"That's it." So did the guys on our boat.Matthew replied, "Miss Youxiang is safe for the time being, don't worry about her. Miss Violet, even if the fateful moment is coming, you are so anxious that you faint here, don't you miss it? Relax. Let's go to the square for a walk How about a walk?"

"Okay..." is also good.Nothing will come of sitting in this place either.Let's go for a walk.Violet thought so, and went to the vicinity of the square with Matthew and Zed.

Zed is a very good 'bodyguard', and Violet can be sure that if he goes professional, he will be very popular.Matthew only said that he is a friend of Youxiang, and didn't introduce too much. I always feel that he will have a lot of stories... Although the ears and tail are very cute, he is actually a cold-looking person.No expression, no tone of voice.

On the contrary, Matthew always emphasizes that he is not a human being, but has more emotions than everyone else.Youxiang friends have something special.This may also have something to do with her being a special person.

"The square is so lively." Thinking that there was nothing left, Violet had already walked near the square, and there seemed to be more people here than usual.

"Ah, the opera troupe should be here today." Matthew said casually, "The head of the troupe should make his debut on the square first, he is such a guy who likes to show off."

"The Opera Troupe...is it the Canglan Opera Troupe?" This Violet had also heard about it.Although it was not Dover's intention to invite them over, he did not object.It is said that they want them to perform at the opening ceremony of the arena.

"Yes."

Just after Matthew finished answering, a familiar voice came from one side: "Miss Violet~~~"

This pleasant voice belonged to only one person, even Zed's ears stood up, and the speed of his tail wagging rose sharply.Seeing You Xiang da da da, she ran to Violet and hugged her: "Long time no see! Thank you for always taking care of Matthew~~"

"You Xiang..." She is still so energetic.Very good.I'm still afraid that Dover will do something too much to you... Violet touched the little head in her arms, and the feeling was no worse than that of a kitten.She said, "Finally seeing you. No danger? Did Dover say anything?"

"It's okay. He gave me pocket money." Youxiang shook her head, she smiled and said, "Don't worry about me, Miss Violet! That's right! Let me introduce you..." She pulled Violet When he came to the person behind him, "This is Grandpa and Mr. Marco! Grandpa, Mr. Marco, this is Miss Violet!"

It's a super big beauty!Wow... Marco sighed in his heart.This is top-notch... As expected of the Land of Passion, this sexy, mature, and... Calm down Marco!

Marco calmed himself down, and he said, "Is this okay? I said you are fragrant, and you just introduce us to Doflamingo's subordinates casually like this?"

"Miss Violet is a good person~" Youxiang didn't think there was any problem, "No problem! Right Matthew?"

"I don't think there is any problem." Matthew (the body version) spread his hands, and he said, "Miss Violet, please take out my body."

"Hey,? Ah! Are you, are you Matthew?!" So it is!Is this Matthew?Violet came back to her senses, she was still staring at the tall older man, she always thought he looked familiar, grandpa...?Is it Youxiang's grandpa?And there is also Marco... how is this name so familiar...

"To be precise, this small board is Matthew. But it doesn't matter how you understand it." Matthew seemed too lazy to explain.He took his small board and handed it to You Xiang, and without saying much, You Xiang understood and helped him insert the board back into the body's neck.

Although in the past, Matthew would never want to return to this extremely restrictive human body, but in this world without the Internet, it may be safer to be in the body.After all, the body can move and swim, so don't worry too much about not having acquaintances around.Otherwise, it would just be thrown on the ground casually——

It's terrible!

Matthew didn't want to recall that terrible experience. He said: "Anyway, Miss Violet is one of my own. Mr. Newgate, Mr. Marko. She is not among our enemies."

"New..." Newgate? ?When Violet heard the name, she immediately knew the identity of the person in front of her. This kind of oppressive feeling, this, wait, no, but... Her thinking was a little confused, she opened and closed her mouth and didn't know what to say. , I can only look at Youxiang, point to Grandpa, and then look at Youxiang.

"Yeah. It's Grandpa." Youxiang probably understood Violet's mood, and she said, "Miss Violet, keep it a secret for now! And... Grandpa is actually not very good at fighting. This time, he's just here to help."

"No, no, no, no..." He's scary just to exist, okay? !Does Dover know about this!He must not know! !Violet hugged her head, "This, so... is it really coming? I've been waiting for ten years... no no... this unfolding is too..."

"Hey... You two should explain it carefully." She must have been frightened.Marco sighed helplessly, and he said, "Miss, I'm sorry, we didn't actually come to fight. It's just that Dad wants to visit his granddaughter."

"Grandson, granddaughter..." Your backstage is too big, I say Xiangxiang! !Violet was still holding her head, she looked at Youxiang and said, "So, is this the reason for such self-confidence? Youxiang?"

"Hmm~~ Maybe it's because of grandpa." Youxiang approached the nervous Violet, then took her hand and said, "And there are a group of very, very reliable companions. So Miss Violet must also have a little confidence. Although I don't know before What happened, but right now... right away the most reliable people in the world will gather here to uncover the hidden truth. I believe so."

The hidden truth...

The scene of that night ten years ago appeared in Violet's mind, she subconsciously clenched Youxiang's hand, and looked into Youxiang's silver-gray eyes.This child's gaze, no matter who she looks at, can make people believe her unconditionally.It's incredible.Violet smiled: "I believe in you. You are fragrant."

"En!" Youxiang also laughed.And at this time, Violet remembered another thing: "By the way, Youxiang...during the time you were away, Dover asked me to investigate a case two years ago."

"!!" Hearing this, Youxiang's smile almost froze on her face, and her expression became serious, "Yes, is it Hart's case...?"

"Well, it was a case in which an emerald agent code-named 'Hart' was killed." Violet replied, "In Dressrosa, this kind of murder is actually not uncommon...just because the emerald agent His identity was specially recorded. Fortunately, it was recorded at that time, so I could find no clues."

Youxiang looked at Violet, she was so nervous that she couldn't speak.Just now, she encouraged Miss Violet, but now that she has become like this, she is really worthless... Youxiang complained to herself, but she still couldn't calm down.Fortunately, Violet didn't mind and said: "Although there is only a little information. It seems that someone deliberately cleaned up all the details, and it happened two years ago... But I think this should be regarded as a useful clue—"

"The 'client' of the Jade Broker is a warrior."

"Samurai?" The client is... the person who asked me to search for Rosie's information book in my dream?Hart didn't say anything about this person in particular, but the samurai...is he the same person as Mr. Kin'emon?Youxiang tilted her head in surprise, and she said, "He, was he killed too?"

"That's right... Just like Hart, I can't even find the corpse." As if it had never existed... Violet lowered her eyes slightly, and she said, "I used my ability to search for many places, but in the end I only found This. I'm sorry, Youxiang, I can't help you too much."

"How come, isn't this a very important clue!" It was the words of the samurai, maybe Mr. Kinemon and the others would know something!Youxiang smiled, and she said, "Thank you, Miss Violet! In this way, I can get a little... a little closer to the truth at that time!"

"..." What a silly child.Violet held Youxiang's face, and she said with some difficulty, "I know that it will be dangerous to pursue it, but I still treat the thing that puts me in danger as a treasure. For a person you have never met before, like this Is it worth it? Is it fragrant?"

"I don't know..." Youxiang lowered her eyes slightly, and she said, "Maybe Hart doesn't want me to do this either. Maybe even if I know the truth, it's meaningless... I can't do anything. I The power is very weak, and now it is protected by everyone. But...but I think...only doing this is 'right'. It does not mean that it is 'right' for everyone, but for me Speaking for myself..."

"If I don't do it, I may forget it for a while, but one night, I will dream or think about these things. At that time, I will definitely regret and feel sad because I didn't do anything. I can't change the past. The feeling of something, it hurts, and I don't want that."

It hurts not being able to change the past.

Violet can understand such a mood.She smiled: "I understand, Youxiang. I think we are all waiting for an ending brought about by our own choices. No matter what the ending is, we don't hope that we will regret it."

"Miss Violet—"

"It's so beautiful!! Everyone's will!! It's so beautiful——! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Before Youxiang could say anything, she was interrupted by an exaggerated voice. Turning her head, Captain Skylark was standing next to Marco at some point, and shouted with tears streaming down his face, "Inspiration!! Inspiration keeps coming!" Appeared!! Art! This is simply art!!”

"It's so noisy." Marco said with disgust, "What on earth do you want?"

"Well... At first, I just saw Mr. Newgate here, so I wanted to say hello, but I didn't expect to see two beautiful angels talking about their ideals. This scene is really... so beautiful! Woohoo... ..." Captain Skylark burst into tears, and he said, "Thank God for allowing me to see this scene... This is really amazing!"

"Captain Yun, Skylark! Have you heard everything?!" That's right!It is so thoughtless to say important things in such an open place!Youxiang said nervously, "Forget about it!"

"How could I forget it!" I don't want it!Captain Skylark immediately said, "However, I can only hear you talking when I get close...so I only heard the part from the dream one night!"

Ah that's great...seems like Rosie used the sound absorbing hood!Thank you Rosie!You are amazing!Youxiang thought so in her heart, she was relieved, she should be more careful in the future!You have to become more reliable yourself!

"You really have energy, kid." You were too energetic.White Beard looked at Skylark, shook his head and said, "Is it justifiably bouncing around today?"

"Hahahaha! That's right! We were invited here! Of course we have to party all night to live up to everyone's expectations!" Skylark suddenly stopped crying, he opened his hands and said, "This is a rare opportunity! Let us sing for everyone again Let's have a song!"

"Everyone here is waiting for you to sing." Matthew spit out.Otherwise, why are so many people gathered here?

"Hey hey, that's what I said..." Captain Yunque seemed to take this sentence as a compliment, and he was a little embarrassed, "I was still thinking about what song to sing before the official performance, thanks to the picture just now , I've decided!! Come on! Everyone! Get ready!"

When Head Skylark yelled, everyone from the opera troupe gathered around, which made the audience also form a circle.People cheered and echoed, and the applause had already sounded ahead of time.After all, the Canglan Opera Troupe is well-known, and it is impossible for them to perform a show that does not win applause.

"Then...we will dedicate the following song to—" Skylark stretched out his hand to Violet as he said, "to the beautiful princess. Is it freedom or destruction outside the glass ball, my princess, please be sure You have to personally..." Skylark held Violet's hand, "Smash it and see for yourself?"

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

The author has something to say:

The song sung by the opera troupe this time is "ShatterMe", LindseyStirling/LzzyHale

I personally think it is a very suitable song for Violet. If you are interested, you can listen to it and experience Violet's experience with the lyrics!

She in the glass ball (Mingo's Dressrosa), as the cadre of the family, as long as she continues to be obedient, she will be safe and able to live "beautifully".The world is still spinning, but only gray and white.

She wants to resist, wants to refuse, but is afraid, afraid, if she breaks this 'cage', will she fall?At that time, Dressrosa had no one who could catch her.If you fight like this desperately, will no one remember the truth of what happened here ten years ago?

She struggled in her heart, endured humiliation, and finally calmed down at the moment she met Sanji, so she raised her hand and broke the layer of 'glass' that suffocated her.

Combined with the lyrics, it is probably this kind of artistic conception, which is really super suitable!At first I thought it was suitable for Rebecca, but this song is very passionate, the singer's voice is very powerful, and her "resistance" is very decisive and awe-inspiring, so it is more suitable for Violet~

The fruit ability of Head Skylark is bound to make him feel people's "life", so that he can find a "tune" that suits people, so maybe, Head Skylark can even see a person's future, so he sometimes says It seems like he knows everything w~ (Of course, there is also a reason why he likes to show off)

I suddenly said so many useless things. I am afraid that everyone will forget the importance of this chapter. Let me summarize:

1. The Jade Broker's client who was killed with Hart was a 'Samurai'

2. The leader of the skylark likes to show off, jump around and is very noisy

3. Today's Youxiang (and Cangcang) are also cute
