[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 362 The Blade of National Salvation

man?What's the meaning?

It's understandable that Youxiang brought hope to the people of this country, but... why did you become a man?

"...the barrier is trembling, I have never seen such a talented person." Shi Jiang looked at Youxiang's confused eyes, and raised her hand to touch the top of Youxiang's head, "This is an unbearable burden, right? Sorry. I can't help you."

"Mrs. Shi Jiang..." Youxiang felt that she had a lot to say, but she was too embarrassed to say due to her own situation, "I'm fine. Those terrible things have passed, and I don't feel sad at all now , but feel very happy.”

To be with ghosts is already considered a pleasure in suffering.Are you too optimistic, or have you never experienced ordinary?

"Mrs. Shi Jiang?" Seeing Mrs. Shi Jiang in a daze, Youxiang called her cautiously.

"I'm sorry. I really can't say that to you." Mrs. Shi Jiang seemed to be a little lost, she said, "You are already... exhausted. It doesn't matter, please forget what I said."

"..." What exactly is it... Youxiang doesn't know what to say, but if there is something here that I can do...

"Let me tell you about the virus." Mrs. Shi Jiang didn't seem to want to mention it anymore, she changed the subject and said, "The person you just mentioned... Ren Zhanle, should be the victim of the virus .”

"□□ile refers to the man-made devil fruit, right?" Sabo interjected at this moment to resolve the embarrassment just now.

"Ah... outside, it is called a devil fruit." Mrs. Shi Jiang replied, "The name □□ile... refers to the state of a person who eats a failed product and cannot become a giver. "

"Hey...?" The giver seems to be a collective name for people who have obtained animal-related abilities after eating artificial devil fruits... □□ile means... laugh?Youxiang thought of Kira's state, those absolutely abnormal laughter, no matter what he said, the crazy laughter he would make was because...

"□□ile has failures. People who eat failures and cannot become givers will only laugh forever. No matter how sad or painful they are, the only thing they can express is laughter. Just It's like being put on a smiling mask...it can't be taken off no matter what."

How come... Mr. Kira...Mr. Kira, the reason why he laughed so hoarsely is because...

While Youxiang was surprised, an indescribable feeling rose from the bottom of her heart. She said, "Mr. Kira... no, it's 'Renza' Kamazo. How long has he been in Wano?"

"...It has been at least a month since he appeared."

What the hell was done, Mr. Kira... Why didn't you tell me, why did you run away, why didn't you let me help after it was already in such pain... Youxiang became very sad, she felt a dull pain in her chest, and her nose was sore It was sour, and tears began to roll in the eyes: "Mr. Kira, has he... Has he given up?"

"In this country... there are many people who are forced to eat the failed □□ile." Shi Jiang replied, "The name □□ile...is also full of malice as if mocking. There is no cure, and... ...Can't stand against Kaido and Orochi."

That's right, that's what Dudover said.He said that when he knew what ilee meant... Youxiang couldn't hold back and covered his face and cried: "I... obviously saw him, if... if I could catch up to him then, could I If you hold his hand...Mr. Kira..."

"You Xiang..." Don't cry so aggrieved, it's not your fault.Ace went to wipe Youxiang's tears while hugging her, "Let's find him again. Since he is still in Wano, we can find him again."

"But... Ace..." Youxiang grabbed Ace's clothes, she lowered her head, buried her face in Ace's arms and said, "Why did you run away? Mr. Kira... why did you see me after seeing me?" , escaped? I obviously... It should be his and the captain's companions..."

"I think he's trying to protect you." After all, even he and Kidd... Ace touched Youxiang's head, and he said, "It's not your fault, Youxiang. I know you want to help him, right?" ? I understand how you feel. It feels like I’m not being treated as a companion... But if I encounter something that I’m helpless or even deeply involved in, I won’t think of pulling an important companion into the water immediately.”

"... Mmm." Is that so, Mr. Kira is protecting himself.Youxiang remembered what Kira said to herself at the theater in Tedes.At that time, Kira wanted her to leave Kidd's pirate group because she was afraid that she would not be able to protect Youxiang.But now that what he was worried about really happened, he was also afraid that Youxiang would come over suddenly and be involved in it.

"It turns out that artificial devil fruits still have a success rate..." Although Sabo felt distressed, he was also a little scared.I also ate man-made ones...but unlike □□ile, what I ate was made by Matthew, and it didn't grant new abilities.He said, "Is there anything Matthew can do about the ___ile thing? Is there any fragrance?"

"Huh?" By the way... Matthew should be very good at this.After all, he copied a burning fruit!Youxiang thought about this, "If Matthew can treat Mr. Kira, then maybe..."

"Ah, maybe it can be cured, at least it should be able to alleviate the symptoms." Sabo smiled, and he said, "I have a little confidence, Youxiang. You are also unconvinced because you were underestimated. Keep your spirits up." Come, let's do something together!"

"Yeah." Great... Ace, Sabo... and everyone is here and will definitely help.Youxiang calmed down a little, and she said: "Thank you, Mrs. Shi Jiang, for telling us these things... But, um, what did you say just now that many people were forced to eat the same things that failed? Woolen cloth?"

"Some of the people who ate the □□ile were Kaido or Orochi's subordinates, and they were almost all voluntary. And some... because if the □□ile was a failure, basically the first bite was eaten. I can detect it, so there will be a lot of leftovers." Speaking of this, Mrs. Shi Jiang frowned slightly, and she said with some heartbreak:

"And these remnants... were thrown into Jianlou Village by the black charcoal snake, and they were deliberately eaten by the unknowing and hungry villagers of Jianlou Village."

"But, why?" Isn't that man named Orochi the lord of the Wano country... Youxiang was shocked and a little scared and said, "Why did you do this...Since it has failed, there is no way to produce any benefits Right? Why would you do such a thing..."

"Because the black charcoal snake hates us." Mrs. Shi Jiang raised her eyes, and she said in a low voice, "He hates everyone in Wano Country. For him, this is not so much a rule as a rule." revenge."

"revenge……"

"Although this country is now riddled with holes by Kaido and Orochi, before this, this place was not a paradise." Mrs. Shi Jiang picked up her fox mask as she spoke, as if recalling something , "Someone once wanted to change all this, but before he could start, Kaido came."

"Mrs. Shi Jiang just said... what does it mean for me to bring hope to this country?" Youxiang still felt a little curious. She felt that Mrs. Shi Jiang might also bear an unexpected burden.

"I'm not going to make you take on more, Youxiang."

"But I think there should be things that only I can do here." Youxiang understands... her cursed fate is also extremely special.Frey also said that this fate is formed by gathering almost all one-in-a-million coincidences together."If that's the case, then I'd like to see it," she said.

"Are you sure? You Xiang... You can just pretend you don't know anything now."

"Well... that's true. But if I'm the only one who can do it and I don't... I think I'll regret it in the future." Youxiang smiled wryly, and she said, "I'm not that strong, even with Frey and the others If you want to help, there are still many things you can't do. If you want to help, you can only do these things that only I can do. So, don't worry. Please tell me, Madam Shijiang."

"........."

It seemed that she still hesitated for a while, and finally, Mrs. Shi Jiang took a pitch-black knife from the maid who had prepared it long ago.She placed the knife between herself and Youxiang and said, "This is the famous sword 'Jingxue' inherited from the Wuguitang family for generations."

What a beautiful scabbard... Although this color is generally black, if you look at it from a different angle with light shining on it, you can see blood red reflections. I don't know how to do it.

"It is said that it was forged by extracting the blood of flying dragons, and it has the title of exorcism and dragon-slaying blade." Mrs. Shi Jiang continued, "However, this knife also bears a heavy mission. Anyone who has used it before It has made great achievements, so great that it even became a 'national savior'... It can be said that it is a veritable 'national salvation blade' in the current Wano country."

It's the same as the story of the brave man who fought against the devil that Matthew told... Does this sword have the same meaning as the "sacred sword"?Whether it's true or not, a brave man can keep moving forward because of faith, and the 'Holy Sword' must be something that gives courage and hope to a brave man.

You Xiang said, "Hmm... is this knife only for men to use?"

"Yes."

"Why..." At this time, shouldn't you still be patriarchal?

"Because there are evil spirits attached to it." Saying so, Mrs. Shi Jiang picked up Jingxue and tried to stab it. However, it was okay just to pick it up. When she started to draw the knife, The part of her skin that came into contact with the blood actually burned and emitted green smoke! !

Youxiang and the others clearly heard a bark, and Mrs. Shi Jiang threw the blood back on the tatami.She showed Youxiang and the others the burns on her hands and said, "Sorry, I can only use this method to make you believe me. This knife will become like this as long as a woman tries to use it."

"It turns out that knives favor boys over girls." Youxiang looked at the blood on the ground with the original expression, then picked up a piece of refreshment on the table and said, "Finuo, I'll give you this refreshment, it can help Madam Shi Jiang, will you treat me?"

"Understood~" Fino suddenly appeared beside Youxiang, and he took a bite of the tea, "Mm~~ so sweet...there are always such sweet things in this world."

"!!" Shi Jiang almost jumped up when she saw Fino, and she retreated to the door, "You, you evil ghost..."

"My name is Fino. This is a name that humans can understand, and I hope you call me that." Fino smiled. He looked at Shi Jiang, then raised a hand to activate the magic, "You also have a rare What about the talent at first sight... Although it is said that mages are extinct, there will always be someone who will inherit this curse."

"Hmm..." Shi Jiang noticed that the pain on her burnt hands was gradually relieving, and she said with some psychological barriers, "Are you, are you... the ghost that troubles Youxiang?"

"one."

"what?"

"It's one of the ghosts that haunt Youxiang!" Fino didn't feel any heaviness at all, and he even said this with some joy, "Since the master has accepted it, then we can only accept it more happily." . I'm not going to apologize or say anything down. It's a very good situation for us, and I'm not going to deny it."

It really is... an evil ghost... This breath, this, biting cold, the weird feeling of the barrier shaking, as if the whole body was torn apart, and the skin was slowly and hard to ignore, as if the skin was being cut bit by bit by an invisible knife throes.Mrs. Shi Jiang hugged her arm: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry Youxiang... I really shouldn't have said this to you..."

"It's okay, really! Mrs. Shi Jiang!" Could it be because Mrs. Shi Jiang is more sensitive to demons... She looks very painful.Youxiang quickly said, "I don't feel scared or sad at all now... Well, Fino, can you go back first?"

"I see." Fino knew that Shi Jiang was very afraid of him, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "But...Master. I don't really suggest you touch that knife!"

"Does Fino know something...?"

"If it's the same kind, it's easy to know. Just like what Shi Jiang said, there is a demon attached to this knife. It's just...he's not some evil spirit. How should I put it..." Fino didn't seem to be Sure, he said as he thought, "I don't really understand human standards. Although he is indeed full of anger, he maintains... restraint?"

"control?"

"To put it simply..." It was Frey who appeared next to Youxiang who spoke. He completely ignored Shi Jiang who was already hiding behind the sliding door, but pointed to Jingxue and said, "The reason why he doesn't let women touch her It's because of shyness."

"--What the hell!!" What's going on with you demons! !Youxiang couldn't hold back and vomited loudly, "At least there is a devil, okay! The legend and experience are so handsome, why is it like this!!"

"That's it." With an 'what can I do?' expression on Frey's face, he spread his hands. "I'm so shy that I'm burning up. I guess it feels like that."

"If that's the case, don't stick to the knife, you bastard!!" Youxiang complained about the knife.

"I was told to cry by you."

"Give me a devilish look, bastard!!"

"This may have something to do with his composition, so don't be so strict." Frey couldn't help laughing, and then he explained, "Devils are made up of human emotions or concepts, so many things themselves It's out of control. Plus... if this demon leaves the sword, they'll all be too ordinary to be useful."

That is to say, the shy ghost and the innocent knife must be added together to form the 'Blade of Salvation'?Leaving aside the matter of the shy ghost... In terms of attributes alone, maybe this is really a 'sacred sword' tailor-made for Momonosuke-kun.

The blade of dragon slaying, the blade of saving the country... can only be used by men.All the attributes are matched with Momonosuke.If Momanosuke hadn't traveled through time and space, he would be a 28-year-old samurai now, so he could just use the blood purification.Only now...

"Then why is it only me?" I'm not a man!Just find a man to use it!Youxiang said, "Gender aside, I don't know how to use knives at all."

"Because, because..." Shi Jiang, who was hiding behind the sliding door, revealed a spiky hair and explained cautiously, "It's too...too strong..."

"Ah. Because this demon is very strong. Although it is not as strong as us. But for ordinary people, it is already an unbearable curse." Frey thought Shi Jiang was a little funny, and he looked over there with complete malice Said, "Sometimes the devil doesn't really want to curse anyone... It's just that for ordinary people, even if they simply stay in a place where the barrier is unstable, there will be problems."

"Many... users, although they have made great achievements..." Shi Jiang added, "but in the end... they all went crazy."

"The world of dreams is not so friendly to human beings." Frey spread his hands, he said, "However, although the Holy Sword of National Salvation is powerful, those who use it will pay the price-isn't this quite romantic? "

You must have a big misunderstanding about the word romance!Youxiang looked at the blood that was still thrown on the ground, then looked at Shi Jiang (the tip of his hair), and then said to Frey: "I see. Because I have Frey and you, so don't worry about going crazy Drop it. As long as you become a man, you can use this 'holy sword' without any scruples, right?"

"Yes."

"Will that turn me into a man? For now."

"Yes. It's easy to do if it's only temporary..." Frey seriously considered the possibility, "About two or three hours at a time, just give me grapefruit tea."

"Is it okay if you don't know how to use a sword at all?"

"That knife should help you."

"I see." There is really no way!Youxiang seemed to have made up her mind, and she said, "I think Mr. Kira will run away when he sees me now. Run away as fast as you can. I'm sure I won't be able to catch him. Why don't you use Go and catch him in a way he absolutely can't imagine!"

"No, no, no...wait a minute." Ace felt a little uncomfortable, "Is there fragrance? You wouldn't..."

"It's definitely not going to be called Youxiang." Youxiang was also seriously thinking about the possibility, "Then it's called...Katori? What does Frey think?"

"Hey? Wait a minute. You are fragrant? Hey?" Isn't it certain that you will refuse? ?Sabo suddenly came back to his senses, and he also felt that something was wrong, "You think about it again, I say! Really?! Don't!!"

"It's only temporary~ Sabo~~" Youxiang elongated her voice, she said, "Besides, I'm looking forward to becoming a handsome guy and flirting with cute girls~~"

"What is that, Youxiang! Then I'll be a girl too! You strike up a conversation with me!!"

"Ah, if Frey says it's okay..."

"As long as you give him grapefruit tea, he can do anything!!" Calm down, both of you! !Ace stopped the two people who started to have no borders in time, and he said, "The blade of national salvation... I don't think we as outsiders can afford it. There is incense. But... if it is only used to achieve If it’s our purpose, then it’s okay to try.”

"Yeah!" Youxiang nodded, he smiled and said, "Frey, tell the shy ghost for me: If you can't help me in the end, let him become a Buddha."

"...When did you learn to say scary things with such an expression?"

"A powerful exorcist, I know a lot!"

"Well, he's crying again now."

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

The author has something to say:

Even though he is timid, loves to cry, and hates women, he is a super shy ghost who has once again refreshed the bottom line of human understanding of demons.

However, this is not important, what is important is that the handsome warrior is coming.

Sabo: Let me change too!Let me change too! !

Ace: Calm down! !
