[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 393 The Monster That Will Not Become

This flower capital is too lively... What exactly is an idol?

After finally getting rid of Hawkins and the Son, Drake walked to the veranda, only to find that it was blocked by people.On the simple stage that was built at some time, a girl in a modified kimono held a microphone, turned on the spotlight, and sang songs that definitely did not belong to Wano Country.

This is rock and roll.Electronic rock.

Drake still knows this style of music to some extent. Although it is nothing new in Four Seas and the Great Route, for the people of Wano Country, this is simply like a 'culture shock'.And people seem to like it.

"Stop! You little girl!!"

"I don't want it!! Don't!!"

Just when Drake was thinking about going back and forgetting about it, he heard a voice not far away, and saw You Xiang running directly opposite him.According to Youxiang's usual level, she should be running at full speed now, and even if she saw herself, she had no intention of running away at all.

Drake originally thought, if she ran in front of him, she would stop even if she didn't dodge it?So I didn't hide either.Unexpectedly, Youxiang bumped headfirst into his arms at full speed like this, and he almost died without taking a breath——

"Do you want to kill me? I said Miss Youxiang?!"

"Mr. Drake woo ah ah~~~"

"Don't cry!! I'm the one who got hurt!!" And why are you running? !Don't stick behind me!Drake found that he had turned twice and failed to catch Youxiang who was hiding behind his back. As soon as he stopped, he saw Kuangshilang chasing after him with a 'difficult' face, "Hey... are you here?" Any family comedy?"

"... She came to look for you." It's really such a coincidence that you can find it by running around.If there is a god in this world, then it must be on Youxiang's side.Kuangshilang sighed, and he said, "I don't know how you two met. But death for love is not popular even here."

"Ah??" What sacrifice for love?Drake couldn't turn around, so he could only lean back slightly, and then turned to Youxiang and said, "Don't you want to explain, Miss?"

"I want to go to the rabbit bowl, Mr. Drake." Missy or something... Although Youxiang was slightly dissatisfied with this title, she still got to the point, "Captain, is he in the rabbit bowl?"

Don't look at me like that, miss...why are your eyes colorless?Clear enough to make people feel scared and... sorry?Drake couldn't look into Youxiang's eyes anymore, he simply turned his head to Kageshiro.Kuangshilang spread his hands, saying that he was completely lost, and then Drake spoke: "I also got such information."

"Really?" It was... an appointment to tell myself about the captain last night, so this is it?Youxiang was a little agitated, she immediately walked around to Drake, looked up at him and said, "Really, Mr. Drake?"

"Ah." I really wanted to lie to you.If not, would you believe me if I said he was dead?If you really believed and just gave up... it shouldn't be possible.You are that man's granddaughter.Drake's mental struggle lasted only a few seconds, as he said, "Kaido didn't kill him. Put him in a rabbit bowl."

"Great...Captain..." Alive!Really still alive... Great... Youxiang's tears rolled in her eyes, but she held back, "I want to go there, Mr. Drake!"

"And then? What do you want to do? Do you know what kind of place Usagidon is?" Drake turned his tone a little harsher, and he said, "Since it was established, no one has ever escaped from it. Regardless of Whether it’s the civilians, samurai or heroes of the Wano country, or the famous pirates and warriors...everyone is waiting to die in despair.”

"........."

"Eustace is indeed there. But what can you do after you go? Do you want to accompany him?? Even so, you can't do it. Because if you are caught, you will be thrown in the rabbit Isn't it a 'too bad'. Have you ever thought about what terrible things will happen to you?!"

Of course I thought about it! !Whatever it is I will... because... because if it were me, any captain would come.If he knew, he would definitely come.So I also... I can't just leave it alone.Not to mention...horrible things...

"Mr. Drake doesn't know anything at all!!"

"Aha??"

The 'scary' one should be me.Youxiang couldn't hold it back this time, tears fell down, she yelled: "Big idiot!!", then turned and ran away.

"There is...you are fragrant...?" What's going on... I was too fierce just now?I still said something wrong... It's over, I felt the "iron fist" of sanctions was hanging over my head, but Drake didn't know whether he should catch up, he looked at Kuangshilang and said: You think of a way ah! !

"If it's her, there should be a solution." Those ghosts didn't gather around her for nothing.Kushiro really knew what was going on.He said, "Your Excellency Drake... It is more painful than not being able to do it. It is obviously possible to do it but can't do it."

"What...what do you mean?" What is Youxiang... Drake realized that he really didn't know the specific situation of Youxiang.Probably only know that she is the granddaughter of Lieutenant General Garp from Lieutenant General Crane and Marshal Warring States (former), the rest is... Is there any hidden secret?

"You should catch up and apologize."

"Even if this is the case, I can't let her go to the rabbit bowl to die." I can't back down on this point.Drake said, "If she doesn't know, don't you know? Kushiro? What kind of person is Quinn, what kind of people are Kaido's subordinates... They will do something to a girl like Youxiang. What, don't you know?"

Unable to refute anything, Kushiro was silent for a while, and then he said: "What I'm sure of is... If you don't catch up with her again, she will run to the rabbit bowl alone to show you."

"Hey..." It's really terrible, my eldest lady! !Drake has never been so troubled, he sighed a little anxiously, "I'm going to die..."

"By the way, what's your relationship? You seem to care about her very much."

"Don't get me wrong. I'm just afraid that something will happen to her under my nose, and her grandpa will hang me up to show the public."

"Grandpa?" Kuangshilang only knew that Youxiang's strange white cat was called 'Grandpa'.

"You don't know how big that young miss is..." You don't know how hard her grandfather's fist is.He can make dinosaurs extinct, you know!Extinction!Drake said, "I have to go rescue the soldiers. Although I definitely don't want to ask her, but there is no other way. I will go to Kuangshilang first."

"Are you really not going to apologize?"

"I'll go find her when I find support. She can't just go to Rabbit Don now!"

——Crying while walking!what to do……

Dake silently followed Youxiang, and now Youxiang was wiping tears in front of him, crying very sadly.Duck doesn't understand human emotions very well, it's just too complicated for him.He understood what it meant to cry, but he didn't know what to do at this moment.

If Xiang Mingming called Rosie or Frey, they would appear, but she didn't.Maybe I don't want to see them in my heart.Dak didn't know why, but now he was really the only one who could do something.Anyway, let's talk first!

He made such a decision, and then walked quickly to Youxiang's side: "Master... Let's rest here, shall we?"

"Hmm..." Youxiang sobbed, not very loudly, but the tears were pattering with no intention of stopping.But fortunately, she listened to Dak's words and sat on the bench of the open-air teahouse.

Right now, because of Mei Xia's performance, there were no people on the street or even in the store, so it was unlikely that they would be surrounded by people.

"Master, I... I don't quite understand. Sorry."

Dak sat next to Youxiang, and he said: "But if there is anything you can't say to others...you can tell me. After all, I am just a weapon, just like, like someone would treat their own teapot It's the same as talking. The teapot doesn't tell these things to other people. So you can tell me too."

"Dak..." Youxiang felt that his metaphor was inappropriate, but she still understood what he meant.She sniffed, still a little unable to control her emotions, "I... If I promise to give Fino red bean rice cake soup or something to eat now, he can help me go to the rabbit bowl and rescue the captain."

"Hmm...?" Isn't this... a good thing?Although Dak was a little confused, he didn't interrupt but continued to listen to Youxiang.

"Using Fino's words, the guards of Rabbit Don may be 'worthless' at all. Just hurry up before the man named Quinn returns to Rabbit Don." It's such an easy thing to do.However, this kind of ability, this kind of strength... this kind of carelessness to the point where only 'red bean rice cake soup' is needed, makes people feel...

"But it's so scary! Dak!" Youxiang grabbed Dak's sleeve, and she cried, "It's so scary...my power, I...so scary! How can I do that...even if it's for Saving people, you can’t do that kind of thing, right? Even if you can do it easily, you can’t do it, Duck? Because…”

Because even Usagi Don’s guards, even Kaido’s subordinates, even Orochi’s lackeys, they are all—

"They are all living people! How could I...how could I do such a terrible thing...I...what the hell..." What kind of monster is it, what...what will it become?Youxiang hugged her head, she said, "I can't... I can't do it, the captain will hate me... Ace... Has Ace realized this? What should I do... Dark ..."

"If it is done, it will definitely... It will definitely become something terrible..."

Once you get used to this kind of thing, there will be more and more, and it will become more and more out of hand.It's not fun, it's not a handy skill, it's... a curse.It is the magic of demons, the tricks of monsters trampling human life.Can't, can't, can't...absolutely can't...can't become a monster...

The surroundings seem to be... At this time, Dake found that the weeds and shrubs on the ground began to wither rapidly, and even the wood was rotting, centered on Youxiang. The sky thousands of miles away is now beginning to be covered with dark clouds, and there are bursts of thunder in the distance!

"Master! Listen to me!" Duck felt that he had to do something immediately, he grabbed Youxiang by the shoulder and let her look at him, "You are right, this is indeed a terrifying power like a monster. You have Such a 'talent', and then those people used your talent to sacrifice you to the devil, and then the talent became a curse."

"They wanted you to turn into a monster, into something like this...a horrible thing that could easily take away 'worthless' lives. But, have you forgotten? They failed! Failed! Your mother She saved you and sent you here. She believes that you will never become a monster here. I also believe it."

"As long as you still feel that all life cannot be exchanged for other things, then you will never become a monster. The reason why you are troubled and afraid is because you are not a monster!"

"Dark...does he think so? But I...in case, in case one day——"

"No. I believe in you. And... I will also be by your side to help you." Dake interrupted Youxiang, he moved closer and said, "I will stop you. If one day you make a Wrong decision, I will definitely stop you. Please believe me too."

"Um... Dak..." Thank you... Youxiang watched him speechless, although her mood improved a lot, her tears were still uncontrollable, "This is... this is our secret... ?”

"Ah. I understand." Don't want to tell others.Don't even want to talk to them about it.Afraid to see a wavering in their eyes, afraid to feel a little displeasure from the person they like.This feeling...even I can understand.The withering of the surrounding plants seemed to have stopped, and Dak breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "I've heard people say..."

"Heroes are heroes because they choose the hard way every time."

"Let's take it as a guideline...Although borrowing the power of the devil will make things easier, but...Master. Let's choose the difficult way."

Hmm... Youxiang nodded, and then she said in a low voice, "I don't hate Fino and the others...Dark. I just..."

"I understand. Because... because the master is completely different from them. It's like the master is completely different from me." For demons, of course they don't care about human life, and they are not alive , Each of them bears different characteristics, and they are just being themselves.I understand this feeling.

Dak smiled and said, "I know you better than you think. Master. Please rest assured."

Dak is so reliable... Woooo... Obviously he is the master... Youxiang is a little better. When she nodded and wiped her tears, suddenly a surprised voice came from not far away: "Youxiang younger sister?"

"what?"

"—Sister Youxiang?!"

I saw Sanji, Nami and Luo on the street in front of this cafe, they should have come here just now, and they saw Yuxiang sitting here in a blink of an eye.Sanji was the first to make a sound, and he rushed to Yuxiang at a fast speed: "What's going on?!! Did someone bully you?! Tell me who did it!! I'll do it right away Turn it into mixed rice!!"

"It's, it's alright... Sanji-san!"

"It's not all right!! Making sister Youxiang cry or something... Is this something that people do?!"

"Really! Mr. Sanji! That... I was a little self-willed just now, and I caused trouble for many people! But... Duck has helped me think clearly. It's okay now."

"..." It's all about this point... Sanji had to calm down a little bit, he frowned and said, "It's fine as long as it's okay. But sister Yuxiang, don't treat us like outsiders, okay?"

"Yeah!" Youxiang wanted to show a smile to reassure everyone, but when she heard Sanji's words, she felt that she was back with her family, and couldn't hold back her tears, so she plunged into Nami's arms, "Woooo ...Miss Nami..."

"Yes~Xiangxiang is a good boy~" Although I don't know what happened, it must be very hard.Oh, I know too.Nami patted her head, hugged her and said, "It doesn't matter anymore... Terran has decided to avenge you!"

"Hmm..." There's no need for revenge...but...Miss Nami smells good...

"You Xiang..." What the hell happened... just like that, it's definitely not 'all right'!His eyes were so red, it looked like he was crying fiercely, and the guy named Dake also looked very worried, and... Luo glanced at the place where Youxiang was sitting just now, the surrounding plants were all withered, and even the wood was rotten , You can tell at a glance that something very serious has happened.

"You Xiang, tell me." Luo said, "Tell me what happened. Don't say it's okay, don't fool me about this matter."

"Mr. Luo...I..."

"Mr. Cora is not here either. This is not normal at all, isn't it! What the hell happened... Can you tell me?!" Yes!I also... I'm not more than anyone... I... Luo finds himself a little emotional, is it too loud?Just when he was about to lower his voice and say something more, Youxiang looked at him from Nami's arms and said:

"Mr. Luo promised me a very, very important thing, okay?"

Luo looked into her eyes, how could it be wrong...how could I be wrong, you know it all!He said, "Ah. Say it."

"At any time... If Mr. Luo finds out that I am wrong, he must tell me and stop me... I may, I am afraid that I will not find out, and then become what I don't want to be, Mr. Luo..."

What does it mean to be what you don't want to be?What is it... When Luo thought of this, he took another look at the withered plants and rotting wood, and he immediately understood.Because if he hadn't met these people, if he hadn't met Mr. Cora, he might have...

Turned into the monster I didn't want to be.

"I promise you."

I will not turn you into a monster.Absolutely not.Luo said: "As long as I can move, I will never break my promise."

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

The author has something to say:

Therefore, Xiangxiang will not use the power of demons on a large scale.Demons, however, can act on their own, since there are certain things or limits to which they do not require price or sacrifice (as was the case in Totland).
