Chapter 384 The Weakness Exposed
"You're getting thinner again, little cauliflower."
Youxiang heard such a voice in her sleep, and when she opened her eyes, she found herself lying on a sofa with Dover's legs on her head.The surrounding scenery is clearly... Dover and Rosie's home.It should be somewhere in Mary Gioia.This is a dream.
"Dover...?" Youxiang propped up her upper body from the sofa, she rubbed her eyes and said, "Why are you here?"
"It just so happened that we met again in a dream." Dover laughed, and he said, "Don't they give you something to eat?"
"That's not it..." Youxiang yawned, "I remember. I seem to have fainted. But...Mr. Kira should be fine."
"Really." Who is Kira.Forget it...Dover didn't ask too much, he just responded casually and said what he wanted to say, "You should be in Wano Country. Youxiang. Do you already know? What does □□ile mean?"
"I see." Youxiang looked at Dover beside her, and she said, "Dover, you really, really! You really hate humans, don't you?"
"...Ah." Now that you know it, and you can still get along with me like this, then I have nothing to complain about.Dover responded, saying, "I hate everybody, Cauliflower."
"Hate me too, Dover?"
Yeah...do I hate you too?Dover didn't answer, he leaned close to Youxiang's face, leaned closer until Youxiang stopped him from approaching again, and then said: "I love you. My little cauliflower."
"It's a bit of a contradiction, Dover."
"Your reaction is so bland that it breaks my heart~" Dover still had a smile on his face, and he said while gently touching Youxiang's face, "Isn't it okay to say more nice things? Anyway, this It's a dream."
"Dover..." Since you want something nice, I'll tell you.Youxiang also raised her hand to support his face, and said, "I love you, Dover."
"Haha..." What...you have such an expression... Dover laughed out loud, "Hahahahaha..." He distanced himself from Youxiang, then lay on his back on the sofa, Covering his face with his hands, he smiled exaggeratedly, "It's too cruel, my little cauliflower! I really like you!"
"Sometimes I really don't know what Dover's thinking." Don't know what he meant.Youxiang sighed, and she said, "I mean, I love human beings. Dover. Although human beings are sometimes cruel, there are also bad people, and there are people I can't forgive... But I still love Human."
"Ah. It's like what you said...Although human beings are sometimes great, among them are a helpless little cauliflower like you, and a blood relative like Rosindi that I can't deny, I still... hate it, Hate humans." Very, very much... Dover was still lying there, he didn't sit up, but just stretched out his hand in the direction of Youxiang, "Even so, do you still love me?"
"Hmm..." Youxiang made a sound of thinking, but in the end, she raised her hands and grabbed Dover's hand, and said, "Rosie...he never hated you. Although he knows everything about you, he knows that you should be stopped, he knows that you are heinous, but he never hates... I think, hate and forgiveness and... love, shouldn't be in conflict, Dover."
"…………"Innocent.Naive little cauliflower.Just like Rossindi.You are exactly the same.No wonder he likes you so much.Dover didn't speak anymore, he just lay there holding Youxiang's little hand.It took a while for him to speak again: "You should be asleep, my little cauliflower."
"Don't you want to tell me a little more about Wano Country?"
"Ha... I don't know what's going on there. I just know that, like Dressrosa, it was once ruled by stupid kings."
"King Riku is not a bad guy."
"That's right. Kindness and stupidity don't conflict. The man who once had a chance to save Wano Country probably didn't give up his beliefs and ideals until the last moment. He may indeed be a person worthy of admiration, but he failed Find out what kind of responsibility you bear. As a king, what people need the king to do, he didn't understand until the end."
"Someone seems to have said the same thing..." Did Lord Yulian say the same thing?Does the 'that man' they are talking about refer to Kozuki Oden?Youxiang said, "Dover thinks that the Kozuki family can't save Wano?"
"I can't predict the future, Xiaocaihua. But someone who can see the future thinks that the man named Oden can't. In the end, we also saw the ending." Dover smiled, and he said, " That man didn't 'can't do' or 'can't bear', but he couldn't imagine it. He couldn't understand it, he couldn't understand it...and if his successors still don't understand it now, then..."
"—The ending will be the same."
But that has nothing to do with me.Dover didn't seem to want to say any more, he looked at Youxiang, and wanted to poke her confused little face, but he didn't want to let go of her cold little hand.In the end, I just looked at her and said, "They don't give you food, and they don't let you dress warmly. Are you actually being abused, Xiaocaihua?"
"That's not it!" They all said no!Seeing that he changed the subject again, Youxiang didn't ask further, "It's just...it's just that my physical strength is easily exhausted now! So I need to eat more to maintain my weight. You just happened to meet me who didn't eat much !"
"...Rosindi actually let this happen?"
"It's not something Rosie or anyone can manipulate, Dover. It's my choice. I don't regret it."
"I won't let you choose that, okay?"
"Dover thinks manipulating me is more fun?"
"It's really funny, to be honest...but you've got a point. Well, never mind. I'm just a guy in jail anyway, so you don't have to listen to me," Dover said. "Okay, little Cauliflower. Since you are not strong enough, go to bed quickly."
But you kept holding my hand... Youxiang looked at her hand that was being held, and then at Dover, he didn't intend to let go at all.Forget it... Youxiang gave up resisting, she pillowed on Dover's lap again, then closed her eyes and said, "Dover will be here until I wake up, right?"
"Will you believe what I promise you? Youxiang?"
"I know how."
"Then...I promise you. You'll always find a way to find me."
Although there was a blizzard all night outside, with the help of Frey and Flutter, the cabin wasn't very cold.Matthew detected that the average temperature has been around 24 degrees, which is a bit too comfortable for humans.Even though there were not many things to keep warm, everyone slept well at night.
Perhaps because there is an absolutely reliable night watchman (Matthew), everyone can close their eyes with peace of mind.When Youxiang woke up, she smelled a very delicious smell of food, and she immediately felt her stomach growling.She is lying in fluttering fur, and beside her are her cherished 'family'——
Luffy directly pressed his leg, and he was lying there sprawled, with one foot still pressed on Zoro not far away.Sabo was sleeping next to him, his posture was fairly regular, and he was also lying on Pupu's body.And Ace is on the other side, his sleeping position is very similar to Luffy, but he still remembers to hold Youxiang's hand.
"Good morning, Miss Youxiang."
Matthew greeted Youxiang.Then Hiyori, who was stirring the food in the pot over the stove, smiled at her: "Good morning. Are you feeling better? You can eat soon?"
"Master." Dak was also nearby.He knelt and sat opposite You Xiang, "It's just as long as you're fine."
"Dak..." When did Dak...ah, yes, I seem to have handed Dak to Mr. Sauron, because... Youxiang gradually woke up from the daze, and she immediately remembered something , "Mr. Kira!!"
"I'm here." Kira came in from the door, he put the branches he picked up as firewood on the floor, and then came to Youxiang, "You're awake, Youxiang. It's a little different You, it's morning after all."
"Mr. Kira..." Recovered...?It became Mr. Kira before... Youxiang looked at Kira, and before she was about to cry, she smiled, "Good morning! I want to eat, so I woke up early!"
"...Ah." This smile, no matter what kind of disease it is, can be cured.Kira thought so in his heart, and just as he was about to say something, Sabo turned over in his sleep and almost slapped him in the face.He blocked Sabo's hand, then sighed, "Eat first, it's fragrant. They found it for you yesterday."
Is it Ace and the others?Youxiang looked at the excessive food piled up in a corner of the room and said, "Yes, where did it come from..."
"Borrow Town has been burning all night." It doesn't look like it will get better anytime soon.Matthew spread his hands, he said, "However, there were not too many casualties. Miss Youxiang."
"That's not reassuring, Matthew. But..." But~~~ Anyway, they are pirates.Youxiang said, "But I'm going to starve to death~~ just forgive them! Forgive them from our point of view!"
"I knew you would say that." Matthew also smiled, and he said, "Then, let's not disappoint the 'good intentions' of the food, let's eat more. Ms. Hiyori is the head chef this time, right?"
"I'm helping too!" Toko poked her head out from Hiyori's side, and she said with a cheerful smile, "Eat it quickly! It's delicious! If you eat something delicious, you can drive away any bad things." Yes~~ Daddy told me!"
"Hmm..." Youxiang nodded with a smile. Just as she was asking if she wanted to wake up Ace and the others, Ace sat up suddenly for some reason: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! We can't catch up!! Huh?" He After reacting, she turned her head and saw Youxiang's surprised and curious face, and immediately hugged her, "Ah...Youxiang...that's great, it turned out to be a dream...don't scare me!"
What dream did you have?Youxiang was hugged by the neck, and could only touch his hair and said, "Good morning, Ace. Thank you for your hard work last night!"
"It's okay, compared to the blizzard, Boluo Town is simply vulnerable." Sure enough, no matter what it is, the 'natural department' is more powerful.As soon as Ace raised his head, Sabo leaned over while rubbing his eyes, resting his pillow on Youxiang's shoulder, he yawned, and then made a half-asleep sound: "Ha~~~... The report...can't finish writing...huh..."
This person seems to be fishing in the dream.Youxiang thought about it, and she said, "Isn't it better not to wake up Sabo and Luffy?" They looked quite tired.
"That's what I said, but..." Ace was still talking, Hiyori had already put the cooked food into a small bowl, and just as the bowl was served, Luffy seemed to be pressed by some button Sit up quickly.Before opening the eyes, the nose followed the scent first: "Meat——!!!"
"——It's so noisy to Luffy!! Eh?"
"Look, they woke up by themselves." Ace looked at his brothers and said with a smile, "Let's have breakfast together. You want to eat more?"
"Hmm..." Youxiang nodded, and she said, "Speaking of which, Ace, how did you find us?"
"Well..." Part of the reason is that I connected to the dream world before, and I can feel that the barrier here is not normal... Ace skipped this reason, and he said directly, "Because someone contacted Ma Hugh. It's the one named Drake."
"Ah. That's right. It was Mr. Drake's contact. He said... Mr. Kushiro told him." In short, it was the two of them.Matthew added, "He immediately said: go to the border between Baiwu and Jiuli to find that little girl. We realized that something might be wrong, so we searched for it along the way. Who knew that we met a walking corpse in the snow, Follow the footsteps of the enemy and find you."
So that's the case... It was Mr. Kushiro who told Mr. Drake, and then Mr. Drake contacted Matthew again... Youxiang remembered what happened at the banquet.Although Kuangshirou didn't know that he was Katori, but he was a keen person, Katori suddenly appeared, and he disappeared suddenly, he should be able to think of a little connection.I'm really sorry for him...
Youxiang reflected silently in her heart, and then she said: "Then, that ♡ile thing——" As soon as she said this, the food was brought to her mouth.Because she was so hungry, she couldn't hold back and ate first.Like her, Luffy and Sabo have already eaten.Luffy talked to Youxiang while chewing the food: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
"That's right! Miss Hiyori's cooking is really delicious! It's at the level of Sanji-san!"
"Uh huh huh! Uh huh huh huh!"
"Well, thank you Luffy! I'm fine!"
"...You Xiang, can you really understand what he is saying?" Sabo was stunned, and he leaned over to ask.
"I can probably understand what it means." Youxiang said while eating, "Can't Sabo understand?"
"I don't understand at all." Is it because I missed too much?Sabo said, "Where's Ace?"
"It's strange if you understand it." Ace was also eating, and he said, "If you have incense, you will admit it! Ni is not talking about Boogie Island! It's just casual!"
"Swallow the food for me before you talk!" Sabo couldn't understand what Ace was saying, "Forget it... Anyway, let's catch up this time! It's fragrant! It's the right time! "
"Hmm! Great, Ace, Sabo and Luffy are all here!" Youxiang smiled happily, and she said, "Otherwise I don't know what to do... Matthew is here, everyone is... ..." So happy, "Ah, that's right!" She suddenly remembered something, "Well, Matthew, Miss Hiyori is—"
"Momonosuke-kun's younger sister, right?" Matthew said that he already knew, "Don't worry, Miss Hiyori has told us everything. After that, we will go to Kasa Village and let Miss Hiyori and Momanosuke See you."
"Is it okay to go back to Kasa Village like this, Matthew? Ms. Hiyori and Toko are being hunted down by Orochi... What's more, Mr. Kira is also now..." Mr. Kira was also regarded as Orochi's subordinate before, but now He 'defected' suddenly, and maybe someone will come to arrest him when he returns to Jiuli.Youxiang was a little worried, "There are many civilians in Bianli Village now, right?"
"On that point... it's Mr. Mansfield's turn." That's what he's come to do.Matthew said, "I think he should seize this opportunity. Now, Huadu must be in a mess. The man who suddenly appeared and claimed to be the 'ghost of 20 years ago' snatched the oiran Xiaozi, and Heitan Orochi's The effective subordinates were defeated one after another, and even Kuangshi Lang himself was unable to stop this matter..."
"The prophecy of the Kozuki family will definitely be mentioned again. Now is the time, Miss Youxiang."
When Matthew said this, he showed a smile: "That man in Mansfield will not let go of this excellent opportunity. Going to negotiate with the 'panicked' big snake now, I think we can gain more trust and concessions." .”
"But... even if the boss finds some employees in Wano Country, can he really convince Orochi, or fight against the current Orochi's power?"
"That's right... It is almost impossible to gather enough strength in such a short period of time to fight against the power of the big snake. It's just... well, we are foreigners, so let's use the 'foreigner method'." Matthew showed a standard villain smile that hasn't been seen for a long time, "Don't we have experts who specialize in 'war affairs'? They will be dispatched as long as they have money?"

The author has something to say:
In the next chapter, the other three brothers are coming! !
Matthew: We're all mean outlanders.
Kagawa: Sure enough, if you want to find a large number of people who are suitable for wearing suits in a short period of time, the only way is... to pay Germa.
Iji: I was going to say 'You want to use money to make us fight against Kaido? ’ But the money he gave was simply too much.But is the suit the point? ?
Kagawa: (seriously) A suit is very important.
