[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 299 Aristocratic Practical Activities

When Yiji woke up again, he was already surrounded by three doctors and one Matthew, who were discussing fiercely how to restore his damaged lung.If it wasn't because Youxiang showed up in time and told himself that they were just discussing the possibility, and his lungs had already been healed by magic... Yiji thought he was about to be dissected by them.

Doctors are not normal these days.However, after all, he is working as a doctor on a pirate ship, so it is even more strange to be normal.

Iji knew that he missed the opportunity to return to Germa's ship, but he didn't mind very much.Anyway, if he wants to go back, he can go back anyway, and more importantly, he wants to stay here a little bit.On the one hand, it is because there is still something to say to Yuxiang, and on the other hand, it is because of Sanji.

Of course, it was for his useless younger brother... Iji wanted to know where the person whose mother tried her best to save lived, and what kind of life was different from what kind of person.

Is this what mother wants?Does mother expect herself to be like this?

Iji wasn't sure, so he wanted to see, even if he might not be able to understand the delicate feelings, at least he wanted to try to accept that other people had those feelings.He felt that as a prince, even as a future king, he needed to do this.

Germa's emotionless soldiers have proven to be no better than the rest of the soldiers.Otherwise, in Totland, he wouldn't be pushed to the ground and beaten.And Germa's highest masterpiece, that is, himself and his brother, were beaten by the navy's new weapons of unknown origin and were unable to fight back.

Yiji has clearly understood the reasons for these failures.It's because of arrogance.By not accepting the obvious.First of all, the first thing I need to change is: I can't blindly obey my father's orders.Maybe I and my brothers really don't have the so-called 'empathy', don't feel fear or anything, but that doesn't mean we're all stupid.

To think about those places that once felt wrong, to understand those points that once seemed to have some problems.Matthew was right, and so were the demons.If Germa is really so perfect, then why is his father still unable to deal with a Beihai?

So, what is it that can really conquer the North Sea?When the gears of this world are being pushed rapidly, at this juncture of not advancing or retreating, Germa must no longer be a prison, and still blindly believe that his previous "Tao" is perfect.

Yiji believes that this is the way a royal family should reflect.So he wants to stay, he wants to... know some answers, or, get some approval.

At this moment Iji walked into the cabin from the outer deck of the Little Seal.Most of them are on the Sonny.When Iji saw the Straw Hats and the others running to the deck, he avoided it.He didn't know what to say to that group of people, and Sanji definitely didn't want to see himself now.

"...?" As soon as he entered the door, Yiji saw Youxiang curled up on the sofa and fell asleep.The small loveseat just fit her curled up.I don't know if it's an illusion... Youxiang seems to have lost a lot of weight.Before the incident in Totland, Yuka Mingming was raised white and fat by Katakuri, and lost so much weight so quickly, it is hard not to imagine that the impact of that incident may not only be the change of hair color So simple.

But what should I do now?

Iji stood there and hesitated for a long time.He didn't know what to do, but felt he had to do something.In the end, he thought, if the roles were reversed, if he fell asleep there, what would Youxiang do?Must be something superfluous.Like covering yourself with a blanket or something.

correct!She should be covered with a blanket now.

Seemingly having found the correct 'way of thinking', Iji looked around and quickly found the blanket that was draped over the back of the chair.As soon as he took it over and put the incense cover on it, he heard someone complaining: "What's wrong with you?"

"It is you."

Looking up, Iji saw Sanji standing there holding a tray with a glass of drink and a plate of dessert in his hand: "She fell asleep. She shouldn't be able to eat those."

"...Is there something wrong with you?" Sanji asked again.

"It's probably broken." Iji also felt that he was very different from before.He walked to a place relatively far away from Yuxiang and talked to Sanji, "If you just want to give these to her, then you don't have to stay here now."

"...It's okay. Rosie should have used a sound-absorbing cover for her." Sanji realized that his unemotional brother was afraid of waking up others, so he still said in an unbelievable tone, "Iji . Are you out of your mind?"

"How many times do you have to say it before you're satisfied?"

"It won't stop when you're bored to death."

As Sanji said, he put the tray on the table next to him. He said, "If you want to leave, you can leave anytime, right? The battle suit is enough for you to fly back to Germa, right?"

"That's the way it is. But I don't really want to leave right now." Iji replied, "Are you trying to drive me away?"

"Huh? Although I hate you guys, it's not as bad as you guys." Sanji said dissatisfied, "Sister Yuxiang always picks up fierce and loveless bastards, I didn't expect you to be considered one .”

It turns out that this type of me is fierce and lacks love.It was only then that Yiji realized that this lack of emotion was so obvious to other normal people.Did Youxiang not feel abnormal when getting along with herself, Nizhi, Yongzhi and others before?Didn't she feel scared or... weird?

impossible.She must have felt it.And someone must have reminded her.Tell her we're emotionless war machines, brutal, murderous monsters, and she must know that too.

"Has she always been so tolerant of cruel people like this?"

"The last one was Doflamingo."

"real or fake?"

"If it weren't for the high walls of the advancing city, you might see a flamingo squatting on the sofa over there now." Sanji took a puff of cigarette, and he said, "However, it is not tolerance, it is just Sister Youxiang can always find the undetectable advantages of you guys."

that's right.You clearly explained what I didn't understand.Sure enough, those things that I once sniffed at are actually so important.They can indeed be weaknesses, but they can also be strengths.And when they become strengths, weaknesses do not exist.

What can I say to be perfect, father... human beings themselves don't need any special modification.If there is a god here who created man, it must be perfect.And as its creation, how can we say that its masterpiece is flawed?How can it be concluded that this defect is not intentional?

"Can I eat it?"

"Hey?! You, do you want to eat...?"

Sanji became even more surprised, and he said, "Is it true that you were beaten out of your mind, Iji? Or did Matthew transform you again?"

"I'll just take it as you said." Iji tilted his head slightly, he picked up the cake on the tray and took a bite, "You made this yourself, Sanji."

"So what...I can do whatever I want here."

"Will you be happy if I say it's delicious?"

"Aha??"

"Although I say this because I'm just stating a fact, would such a fact please you?"

"Iji, you..." Sanji seemed to understand what this guy was doing, he said, "I'm not as patient as Xiao Youxiang, I won't make any contribution to your broken brain, bastard. But ——I will be happy not because you stated the facts, but because 'delicious' will make people instinctively happy, and I will be happy because the food I make brings people happiness."

I see.That's right...it's complicated.It's pointless.But ordinary people are obsessed with doing such meaningless things.This is the key that I can't understand, I can't understand the reason for this meaningless existence, and I can't understand the reason why such a beautiful existence as Youxiang will reach out to me.

It turned out to be because of such pointless things.So it's because... this... will make me happy?

"..." Yizhi looked at Youxiang who was on the sofa, and he paused for a while before speaking, "I want to marry her."

"No. You don't want to." What the hell!Are you sick!Sanji immediately said, "I'll eat what you eat! Otherwise, I'll throw you into the sea! And you're not allowed to approach Sister Youxiang!!"

Yiji was a little dazed, he subconsciously picked up the fork, took another bite of the cake mechanically, then suddenly put down the fork and quickly walked towards Youxiang: "Youxiang, wake up! Get married with me now—"

"Fuck you, come back to me!!" Sanji squeezed him, "Be sober! A scum like you is not worthy of Sister Youxiang!!"

"..." Yizhi was almost convinced by these words, but he suddenly thought, "But Youxiang doesn't think I'm a scum."

"—You are such a scum!!" Don't you even admit that you are a scum! !When Sanji was about to beat someone, suddenly Yuxiang on the sofa jumped up: "Ah!! I took out the ice cream and forgot to eat it!!! Huh?"

Ah, fuck, why is it so cute.

"Youxiang~~~" Ace came out while the two brothers were still synchronizing in their hearts, "You come and dry them off! He scratched me as soon as I touched Saab! And the old man Daddy won't get off my head at all~~ help me! Huh? What are you two doing?"

Ace had Grandpa Meow on his head, and Sabo Meow at his feet quickly jumped onto the sofa and threw himself into Youxiang's arms when he saw the two brothers who were still wrestling together: "The relationship is good?"

"It's not good at all!" Sanji let go of Iji first, and he said, "You're awake, sister Yuka. This guy ate the dessert I just brought, I'll make another one later You. You drink this first."

Saying that, Sanji handed the drink to Youxiang who was still a little drowsy: "I'll be right back."

"Hmm..." Youxiang took the drink, and only recovered after Sanji left, "Ah! Mr. Iji... are you alright?"

"Recovered." Iji simply replied, he didn't come any closer, but stood in place and looked at Youxiang who had recovered clean and tidy, and said, "Now that you have escaped from Totland, you don't need me anymore. Is it here?"

"Mr. Iji is really~~" He still says such things even now!Youxiang elongated her voice, patted the place beside her and said, "Sit here and eat cake, Mr. Yiji!"

Although he felt that Ace was looking at him with hot eyes, Iji still walked over and sat down with the cake plate just now.But at this time, Ace also sat on the other side of Youxiang, which made Youxiang lean closer, and the small sofa became a little crowded.

"Meow!" Grandpa Meow on Ace's head also jumped down at this time, jumped onto Youxiang's lap, then stretched out his little paw and put it on Yiji's arm, as if to say: The old man is staring at you Brat, give me some self-awareness.

"..." The cat's eyes are really fierce.Iji didn't seem to understand what this meant, but he didn't mind.In fact, he also felt a little cold just now, and now Youxiang is spreading the blanket to cover his lap.The two kittens had already sat in Youxiang's arms and covered themselves, Ace leaned on the sofa and put his hands behind him and put them on the back of the sofa to surround Youxiang as if declaring his sovereignty——

What, what is going on with this harmonious atmosphere.Why did I suddenly blend into their harmonious atmosphere?

Just as this small question arose in Iji's heart, Luffy's voice came from outside: "Xiangxiang~~~Ace~~~What are you doing in there? Matthew said there is something powerful for us to see oh!!"

"I don't know if it's great for you, but it's just an entertainment that is more suitable for the present." Matthew said as he walked in, "Miss Youxiang. Good evening. It's raining outside. We're here today We can only do indoor activities tonight, so I have a proposal."

"It's so cold~~ The weather in this sea area is a bit cold, all my clothes have been soaked in the sea in Totland!" Nami walked in while holding her arms, "Xiangxiang lend me clothes~~ "

"Wait a minute, Germa is in charge. Why are you sitting there? Logically speaking, shouldn't that be my place?!"

"According to what reason, Terra Man? But it's true, Iji! Why are you so close to Yuka-sister!! Ah, Yuka-sister~~ I brought dessert here! Miss Nami and Miss Garrot There are also some~~~”

"Then, Matthew~~ What exactly is a horror movie?"

"When I was on tour, I heard that some troupes would perform scary dramas. Could it be something similar? Hehehehe...I'm looking forward to it!"

"You guys are really laid back...and Dad, you've completely adapted to the body of a cat!!"

"Ah, it's a cat... I hate it~~ I must stay in the same room as the cat, master?"

"Being in an environment with cats and dogs on a cold rainy night seems to be a very good choice. I think you should tolerate your kind, Mr. Zedd."

"Why are cats and dogs the same kind? Don't make things difficult for him~ Boss!"

"excuse me."

The moment Pedro, who was the last to enter, closed the door, the small question in Iji's mind became huge: Why did he suddenly blend into their super harmonious and super leisurely atmosphere? ! !

However, before he really raised any doubts, everyone found a comfortable position and sat down, waiting for Matthew to start his performance——

"The heating has been turned on. If you still feel cold, there are still blankets here." Matthew made some arrangements first, and he said, "My proposal is that on such a quiet and rainy night on an uninhabited island, we are just right... to have a little horror atmosphere story."

"Huh?! Why did you suddenly enter this link, Matthew!" Youxiang immediately shrank her legs onto the sofa, "Then I want Frey to come with me!!"

"Frey refused." Frey appeared at Youxiang's feet. He squatted there and took Youxiang's drink. After taking a sip, he showed an approving expression. Let's increase the atmosphere!"

"It would lose the meaning of entertainment if everyone was scared to the point of crying and howling." Mr. Fabias decided to forget it.Matthew said, "Everyone has seen dramas or operas. The technology I want to show is a technology that can completely record drama performances without all irrelevant interruptions and senses of disobedience. In my hometown, it is called 'Movie'."

"Simply put, a very real story reenactment."

"That's right." Matthew affirmed this understanding, he said, "However, I also hope that everyone understands that no matter how true it is, it's just a performance and a story. It's all fake. So please don't get too excited during the process to destroy the ship's facilities. Well, if everyone is ready—"

As he said that, the lights in the room turned off automatically, and then a holographic image appeared on the wall opposite the sofa, and the movie started like this.Leaving aside this novelty for now... Iji felt that just sitting in a room with such a group of people casually was something new to him.

As a royal family, as a nobleman, this kind of thing is not allowed.I have been taught this way since I was a child.It's just that now, Iji has decided to reflect and change, so there's nothing wrong with him deciding to try something different or something he's never tried before.After all, for myself...

Things like this probably don't come across very often.

"Mr. Nizhi is not afraid of Matthew's ghost stories at all." At this moment, Youxiang sneaked over to talk, and she said, "Is Mr. Yizhi too?"

"Because we don't feel fear." So ghost stories are probably just "interesting stories" to us, Iji said, "If you feel scared, you can..."

"Meow!" Before he finished speaking, Iji's arm was held down by Sabo Meow, "Meow meow!" Then, the kitten grabbed Yuxiang's hand and put it on his overhead.

"—You can hold my hand." However, Iji was not the kind of person who could understand what a cat meant.He then went on to finish speaking.

"Meow!!"

"Tsk, why is this cat attacking me? I'm going to throw it out, Youxiang."

The author has something to say:

The horror movie I watched was "The Conjuring". You can imagine the horror movie performed by Matthew's super advanced virtual reality technology.
