[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 223 The Night That Couldn't Sleep

This time... so tired...

When Youxiang finally returned to her room on the Little Seal, she took a deep breath.From Dressrosa to Germa, from Germa to Totland, and then from Totland back to Dressrosa, the nerves have been tense during this time.

Now, with the help of Luffy's loyal 'fans', everyone has successfully left the territorial waters of Dressrosa. Although they failed to say goodbye to Grandpa, fortunately they escaped from BigMom's pursuit.After declining further help from others so as not to be too noticeable, all boarded the Golden Surf Seal and Bartolomeo's Forward Luffy Senpai and headed for Zou.

Of course, before that, Matthew also fished up the sunken satellite with the help of the Dressrosa people. Although it needs to be repaired, it is better than starting from scratch.Anyway, Matthew is much happier.

Originally intended to use only Gold Surf Seals.The Little Seal is a formally registered merchant ship, which can avoid people's eyes and ears.However, this identity in the new world does not seem to be very safe, and countless pirates around will be watching.So Bartolomeo volunteered and said that he was willing to send the Little Seal for a ride as an escort.

Also thanks to Bartolomeo, there was probably enough room.I don't know where Luffy's spirit came from, and he was having a party on another ship.Please Zed: "If anyone falls into the sea, please tell me immediately." Afterwards, You Xiang returned to her room.

I'm so tired, I always dream after Dressrosa falls asleep.Frey said it was because of Dressrosa itself.Ten years of disasters have made its barrier very weak, as long as you don't leave there, you can't get any good rest.Now it's far away from Dressrosa, so I should be able to have a good sleep, right?

"Rosie~~~"

"I'm coming! Cabbage, are you tired? Do you want to take a shower first?" Hearing Xiang's voice, Rosie came up to her and said, "Don't worry about anything now. Frey also said that there will be no What's the problem with the barrier, the cabbage can have a good rest!"

"Yeah." Let's take a bath first... Youxiang rubbed her eyes, she said, "I will talk to Rossi after I come out, so you have to wait for me!"

"...Hmm. I know." Are you trying to tell me this?I'm really all right... The thing about Dover is over.To achieve this kind of result, neither I nor Luo can think of anything better than this.So... it's okay.cabbage.I'm really okay.

Although she thought so in her heart, Youxiang still felt a little pleading and anticipation in Rossi's eyes.So Youxiang walked over and raised his hands to support his face and said, "You just wait here. Don't run away, you know?"

"cabbage……"

"Rosie just sit here obediently." Youxiang pressed him down and let him sit on her bed, then picked up a plush bear on the bed and put it in his arms, "You can also lie down, But it can't disappear! Wait for me!"

"I know." I'll be here waiting for you.Rossi smiled wryly, after he said that, Youxiang went to the bathroom in peace.After Youxiang left, Rossi sat here for a while, and then lay on the bed with the little bear in his arms.

smell good.Speaking of which, I never dared to lie down directly.It's okay to just lie down like this, right?It should be allowed... It smells so good! !Ah, I was in a trance for a moment just now...

The bed was fragrant and soft, and Rosie hugged the little bear tightly, feeling a little sleepy.Being a demon and still falling asleep, I thought it was amazing at first, but later I learned that Frey and the others would also feel sleepy.This seems to be a normal phenomenon.It's okay to sleep a little...Just before the cabbage comes back...

"—I say, Rosindy."

"Uhhhhh!!! Dover?! Huh?! Dover!!???"

Where is this coming from? ! !When Rossi came back to his senses, he found himself in a gorgeous palace-like room.The place looked familiar.Not Dressrosa's royal palace, but... is, is it home...?It was at Mary Gioia's... home.

This was Mary Gioia's home a long, long time ago, before she moved out.This living room, the sofa... It seems that every detail can evoke a little memory of Rosie's childhood.This is a dream... I fell asleep.

After calming down again, Rossi walked to the sofa and sat down, then lit a cigarette: "What? You're dreaming too, Dover?"

"Anyway, I'm locked in Hailoushi's cage. I can't move, so I can only sleep." Dover spread his hands, and he came to Rossi and sat down, "This dream world is pretty good. Interesting. I've never discovered that dreams can be so lucid before."

"Maybe it's because of the cabbage..." Because after getting along with her, you may realize things that you didn't realize before.Rossi said, "You just suddenly learned new skills. And, I think I came to your dream, not you found me."

Dover can be so lucid in his dreams... Frey seems to have said that some people are indeed more likely to have lucid dreams.But this 'staying awake' is different from mage (and You Xiang) staying awake.This sobriety is still illusory, just giving the impression that you are in control.

Real waking is to see through all illusions and stare directly at the desolation and coldness of the dream world.It wasn't a... good experience.

"Whatever the reason... I don't really care about the reason, Rosindy." I can't go anywhere anyway, so dreaming isn't against the law, is it?Dover looked at Rosie and said, "Did you act?"

"Okay, what to do?"

"That little cauliflower." Otherwise, what else could it be.Dover said, "You like her, don't you? No, in love with her? So did you [beep—]?"

"Ah, the world of dreams has silenced you, because there will be dreams of children around you?"

"Why is the sound muted!!" This place is too strange! !Dover complained about his dream, then said, "You know what I'm talking about anyway. So what? Did you act?"

"It's none of your business, I won't tell you!!"

"...do nothing. Rosindy."

"Uh!!" As if being stabbed in pain, Rosie stopped smoking and muttered, "Dover is so annoying...I won't be like you..."

"It will be snatched by Luo."

"Don't talk about this again, Dover!" I don't want to talk to you happily about love topics!girl!Are you a girl!You are nothing like it!

"No matter what I do, you don't have any special reaction, but if I get close to that little cauliflower, you will blow my fur like a cat."

"It's not because you are so scary! Cabbage she...she is..." Although... people say that she is kind and brave, strong and independent.But I know.Knowing that she just won't talk about her fears and withdrawals, knowing that she's been carrying it all on her own all along.

Rosie said, "I'm going to protect her, Dover."

"Fall in love with someone."

"You are so annoying!!!"

Damn... I told you so seriously and you still teased me... Although... you are right.I just love her!Can't it!

"Don't think about those useless things, Rosindy. Just face it."

"I don't want it!!"

"Oh, then you like from behind—"

"Dover, can you wake up quickly and accept the Navy's sanctions?"

Even the way they interrupted me was exactly the same.Dover paused, and he said, "You are the one who should wake up. Rosindy. That little cauliflower is still far from being safe, right?"

I can't do it anymore.As much as she wanted to, she didn't want me.If only she said she could forgive me, but she was right.She has nothing to forgive me for.I did nothing to her.I also……

Want to protect her.

"Well... there are many, many lurking dangers... I..." Can it be done?Rosie lowered his eyes and said, "I'm not as strong as Dover."

"I was defeated by a man in a straw hat. Not very strong." Dover spread his hands, and he said, "Cheer up, Rosindy. You can do more than I can?"

"...Mmm." I don't want to thank you, but I still have to thank you.If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have encountered cabbage either.In every way.Rosie said, "I want to see her now. I'm going, Dover."

"Ah." I too...forget it.It's not surprising that brothers' preferences will be the same.Dover said, "Don't make the same mistakes ... Rossindi."

"I see."

I will protect her, with all that is left of me.I don't know if I can still meet Cabbage if I am not killed by you, I don't know if I still have the courage to say something to her if I am still alive.But I have to accept the situation... I... I have to...

When Rosie woke up, she heard a human voice.He got up and found that You Xiang had returned, sitting on the carpet by the bed and eating snacks.The steam from the shower just now still hangs on her body, and her hair is also a little wet.The small body with its back turned to him swayed slightly due to the movement of eating——

When he came back to his senses, Rossi had already hugged her.He couldn't help himself.It is the body that moves first!

"Wow! Rosie! You're awake!" Youxiang was taken aback, Rosie suddenly hugged herself from behind, and buried her face in her hair, "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? "

"Yeah. Because there was no cabbage in the dream." Rossi made a sound, sounding a little aggrieved, "but after waking up, the cabbage doesn't belong to me."

"What is Rosie talking about?"

"It's a confession! I...I want cabbage. Don't leave me, don't ignore me, don't ignore me. I'm so lonely, Cabbage...Looking at you...you and..." Luo?No.is everyone.Seeing you with everyone else makes me...

No, you can't really become a demon.I can't...but...

"What Matthew said is really true." Human diseases.Even if you die, you still can't get rid of the ultimate evil - love.Rossi said, "I'm sick, there is incense."

"Rosie—"

"Don't! Don't say it!! Cabbage doesn't need to say anything... I'm just... just being self-willed. I'm sorry. But let me be self-willed again." Rossi interrupted Youxiang, and he said, "If I'm still alive , would I have more courage to confess to you or would I be unable to do anything... I don't know. But I know that if there is no cabbage, I will not be able to face Dover calmly like this, and I will not have a chance Seeing the brother I used to love come back again."

"........."

"What happened in Dover will not bother anyone anymore. My wish in life has been fulfilled. So do people still have the right to make wishes after death? If so... I hope..."

I hope that this sickness and this pain can stay in my heart for a long time and make me feel that I am still alive.It's... painful, but not annoying at all.

"Does Rosie feel happy now?"

"Ah."

Happiness wants time to stop.Stop for a while, let me hold you for a while.Just me, just the two of us.

"It's all right, Rosie. There's nothing to be afraid of."

"I am now only afraid that the cabbage will leave me."

"We can't separate anymore, can we?"

"It's not that simple...not being able to see each other is different from...not being together."

"Rosie..."

Cabbage hearts... are very special right now.I'm in it too.Although I hope it's just me, but... if it's just me, it may not be possible.I'm not reconciled, but I have to accept it, otherwise Cabbage won't even be able to speak.He couldn't even open his eyes and look at me.So everyone bears it, because losing you hurts a little bit more than the pain of that sickness called 'love'.

Your happiness is more important than our petty possessiveness.

"Okay, okay..." Youxiang patted his head, "Rosie doesn't need to be afraid."

"Well. If you say that, I will... believe you." I will believe everything you say, okay?

"My heart won't be separated from Rosie either?"

"Well. I believe in you." I will regard this sentence as a treasure and a talisman.

"Rosie is kind of cute when she's acting like a baby. Like a little animal."

"Like a small animal?"

"Little panda."

"Hey?"

"Hahaha..." Youxiang laughed, and she said, "I am also very happy when Rosie is by my side. Without Rosie, I wouldn't have the courage to do many things, right?"

"Really?"

"Well... the difficult things are easier because of Rosie's presence." Like falling asleep.Like being alone in a quiet place.I couldn't do these simple things...before Rosie came along.Youxiang said, "I was still afraid that Rossi would disappear."

"No! I won't leave you!!" Absolutely not! !Rossi immediately hugged her tightly, "If... If one day I really disappear, Cabbage must wait for me. I must be working hard to get back to Cabbage. Believe me... I will not leave your!"

"Yeah. I trust Rosie!"

"Ah... so scared... afraid of something unexpected... cabbage, cabbage, cabbage..." I love you, love you, love you... Youxiang... I love you.do you feel itDid you hear that?It's okay, it's okay...it's okay not to answer me.Just trust me, trust me.

"It's fragrant~~ Are you asleep?"

After a while, such a voice came from outside the door.Rossi whispered reluctantly, "Can I pretend to be asleep, Cabbage...?"

"Maybe there is something important, Rosie?" That was Ace's voice just now?

"Cabbage is partial to Mr. Ace..." Although I know it's a matter of course... After all, I gave him my whole heart.But...forget it.Rossi reluctantly let go, but he couldn't help smiling when Youxiang touched his head.

"What's the matter, Ace?" Youxiang ran to the door and opened it, only to find that there were many people at the door, "Everyone is here?"

"Let's sleep together, Xiangxiang!!!" Luffy said very loudly.

"Why!!"

"Haha..." Sabo laughed, and he said, "Because everyone is worried that you won't be able to wake up."

"what……?"

"Youxiang likes to sleep too much." Ace continued, "So I can't let you sleep with peace of mind... But it's okay to let him sleep outside the door if Luo insists."

"I'm here to stop you!!!" Luo made a protesting voice, "Reject these guys, you Xiang!! Nod your head and I'll Room them!!"

"Hey..." There's really nothing I can do about you!Youxiang sighed, and she said, "You can only sleep on the floor? I won't help you cover the quilts? Will you make Frey stare at you all the time?"

"Okay~~" Luffy elongated his voice, he said, "It's the same as when I was a child! Although there are more Telamen!"

"That's right, Terran is redundant." Sabo nodded seriously.

"Go back, Luo," Ace said immediately.

"I don't want it!! Who wants to keep you here!! I have the responsibility to watch you!!" Luo said that he would not leave.

"Okay, okay...Come in. I'm going to be sleepy!" Youxiang stopped their meaningless conversation, she turned and went back to the room, "And then, tomorrow morning you guys have to stay and clean the room too! "

"Got it~huh..."

"Sleeping too fast, Luffy!! At least lie down before going to sleep... Phew..."

"You too!! Don't lie in such an obstructive place... Huh..."

"..." The three brothers fell asleep while speaking.Luo stood still and looked at them, thinking that he might as well throw them all into the sea.

"That's how they are, Mr. Luo." Youxiang was used to it.She took out the blanket and covered them with ease, then gave Luo a pillow, "Good night!"

"Hmm, um..." Luo hesitantly answered with a pillow, he looked at Rossi, and Rossi just smiled: "Good night, Luo. It's okay. I will take good care of you and prevent you from having nightmares." .”

"Ah." I knew you would.Luo also laughed.He found a place to lie down on the floor a little far away from the three brothers, so he felt at ease... A room with a fragrance gives people a feeling of relaxation... Phew...

"Sleep so fast." Everyone fell asleep so fast! !Youxiang sighed again, she also covered Luo with a blanket, and then yawned, "Good night...Rosie..."

"Yeah. Goodnight Cabbage."

In this room...you're sure to get a good night's sleep.Rest in peace.I'll keep you safe from nightmares.

The people in the room were all the people who gave their hearts to Xiangxiang at the beginning.
