[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 442 The Dream of Flames

"Dad! Where are you going, Daddy?"

The boy grabbed his father's clothes, trying to prevent him from leaving the hiding place: "Don't! Don't leave me!"

"Listen... ■■■... You have to live." The man turned and grabbed his young son by the shoulders, he said, "You have to escape from here and live. Otherwise I..."

"Dad...?" There were searches outside the room, and there were even gunshots and people's screams.The boy couldn't fully comprehend the situation, but he knew that something terrible was about to happen, "Why? What happened? Where's Mommy...?"

"Your mother is gone." She was... dead.That's right.The man's gaze became firm, and he said, "Mother was killed. My sister who was born just now and hasn't had time to meet you... ■■■, I'm sorry. I must... must protect you. Live alone It's going to be hard work, but you can do it."

"No... I don't understand..." A person?Why?Obviously... not long ago, my father and mother were by my side... obviously not long ago, everyone was smiling happily.Why did it all disappear suddenly?Why do I have to live alone?

Did not say anything more.The man finally hugged his sluggish crying son and walked out of the room.Immediately afterwards, there was an angry reprimand from someone, and after a while, there was a burst of shooting.

The boy didn't know how long he had been here, how long he had been waiting.How much he wished his father could come back from that door, telling himself that it was a false alarm, telling himself that everything was over.But he waited for a long time, but no one came.Not a single person.There was no sound at all.

Dead silence filled the boy's ears and eyes.Only the fine hairs all over his body reacted slightly when a biting cold wind appeared.This made the boy raise his head slightly, although he still didn't see anything, but the black shadow had wrapped around his body, something was whispering in his ear...

"What a poor child... What a miserable life... Do you want to know the truth? Do you want... revenge?"

"revenge……"

The boy read the last word he heard, and he didn't know if he really understood the meaning, or just repeating something mechanically.

"Ah. Revenge." The voice sounded very kind, at least more kind than dead silence, "Live, child. I will give you the strength to live. Then..."

"Then……?"

"Let's go for revenge."

——Whose dream is this?

Youxiang woke up with a start.She was in her own room on the second floor of Xiangxiangzi's psychic house.It's still night, she shouldn't have slept for too long.Moonlight came in through the cracks in the windows, giving the room a little light.

"cabbage?"

Rossi appeared next to Youxiang, and he said worriedly, "What's wrong? Is it a nightmare? I opened the noise reduction cover for you, it shouldn't be..."

"Not really a nightmare...it's okay Rosie. Thank you." Protecting me every day.Youxiang smiled at him, then hugged her cold arm.Breaking out in a cold sweat... She said, "It's just a strange dream." Although the two people in the dream had never met before, they felt inexplicably familiar.Who are they?

"Do you feel cold?" Is the quilt too thin?The temperature in Huadu is indeed a bit low recently.Rosie moved closer and said, "Ro brought you back. You were asleep by then."

That's right... In order to prevent Mr. Luo from proposing, I asked him to do it behind his back.Then I just felt very warm... Youxiang recalled what happened before she fell asleep, and she said, "Ace and Sabo...haven't come back yet?"

"Ah. I don't know where they went, but the two of them should be fine." Don't worry about them.Rosie smiled wryly. He said, "Sleep a little longer, okay? It's still a while before dawn. Is Cabbage tired?"

"Yeah." Youxiang rubbed her eyes and nodded, she said, "Is Mr. Luo still there?"

"There." Rosie pointed to the corner of the room.Only then did Youxiang see Luo leaning there and falling asleep.Rossi shook his head and said, "Although White Beard and Mr. Marco stopped him, he still insisted on staying by your side. Cong Yunqie didn't cut it off because he is a doctor?"

"I'm causing trouble for Mr. Luo..."

"Trust me Cabbage. He doesn't bother at all." Maybe happily.Rossi said, "When you first came back, your complexion was very bad, and everyone was worried. But it seems to be better now. Do you feel uncomfortable?"

You Xiang shook her head.But she was a little scared.I don't know why.Obviously Rossi was by her side, but the feeling in the boy's heart in the dream just now seemed to be transmitted to her.This led her to grab Rosie by the sleeve and pull him to Ro's side, with the two of them sandwiching themselves between them, before saying, "Good night."

"Do you want to sleep like this?!" Really had a nightmare, Cabbage! !Although Rossi didn't mind it very much, he was a little worried about Youxiang.It's just that Youxiang is already sleeping on Luo's shoulder very contentedly at this moment, all Luoxi can do is cover them with a quilt, and...

"Are you awake, Luo?"

Are you still awake, Mr. Cora! !I am not dead!Luo didn't make a sound, he looked at Youxiang who was leaning on him and still clutching his clothes, and after watching for a while, he said, "Is this considered married, Mr. Cora?"

"No." Do you really not know?Rossi tidied Youxiang's quilt and hair again, and he said, "Cabbage seems to have had a bad dream. You can just accompany her."

"Always be with her."

"Ro, calm down."

"I can't calm down, my whole body is hot."

For a moment, Rossi wanted to wake Youxiang up and take her away from this person.He said: "... let her sleep a little longer. I think Frey and the others should make sure that she sleeps until dawn without dreaming."

"...Mr. Cora." Luo said while putting Youxiang's hand holding her clothes into the quilt, "Today... when she came back today, she told me that she has no home."

"I hear you. Lo." I've been there all along.Rossi sighed. He wanted to light a cigarette, but he gave up anyway, "I don't think you need to be so concerned... Maybe our ideas are different from Cabbage's. Because she also said that, in fact, there is no such thing as imagined. I love living here so much.”

"is it?"

"Ah. I think Cabbage sometimes doesn't know what she really wants. After all, she is also human, and she will make the same mistakes as everyone else. I thought what I wanted was a stable home, but when I really got it Then I found out that this is not the case. There must be such a thing.”

"And what does she really want Mr. Cora?"

Yes, cabbage.What do you really want?Have you discovered this yourself?Rossi looked at Youxiang who was huddled between herself and Luo, and then laughed and said, "Maybe she is happy with the person in front of her. After all, she is a very understanding person, so she doesn't have so many thoughts!"

Is it that simple... Luo also looked at Youxiang.She gripped her clothes tightly.Speaking of which... When walking, if Youxiang was left behind, or walked far away with other people, she would immediately run to the nearest person and grab his clothes or hold hands.

"Is she afraid of being left behind..."

Scared of being alone...?That's the only explanation.Luo seemed to understand. He said, "Mr. Cora. ​​I don't want to leave her side."

"Ah. Now you're free, Lo." You don't have any worries anymore, do you?Rosie laughed, "You can do whatever you want. But don't make Cabbage cry? Or I'll make trouble for you."

"How could I make her cry on purpose! I... I also hope that she will be happy, Mr. Cora. ​​Can I do it?"

Although ~~~ a bit unwilling.But I trust you more than anyone else, Ro.Rossi looked at him and smiled: "It must be possible. After all, you are a responsible and good boy. I saw it a long time ago."

If Mr. Cora says that...if Mr. Cora thinks it's okay, then I have no reason not to be confident.

"I'm going to marry her."

"Well—I'll have to think about it again!"

"This doesn't require Mr. Cora's consent."

"Don't!! I won't easily allow Cabbage to marry someone!!"

"Mr. Cora clearly recognized me just now!!"

"That's two different things!"

It hurts... and... it's hard to breathe...

Ace woke up from a coma, he didn't know where this was, and he couldn't remember how he got here.It seems...in Summer's tent, and then was sent away by Yuxiang with pocket money, together with Sabo...where did he go with Sabo?Ah yes, Sabo!

Although he didn't remember what was going on, he remembered that his brother was with him.Ace immediately woke up a lot. He wanted to jump up from the ground, but the dizziness and pain in his body slowed him down a lot.

This is a hot space, very similar to the side of Punk Hazard's flames.Not only that, but there was something in the air, and it became very heavy, making it hard to breathe.

Ace looked around, and then saw Sabo lying on the ground nearby, and he ran over immediately: "Hey! Sabo! Wake up! Are you okay?!"

"Hmm..." Ah, my head hurts... Sabo woke up after being shaken, and seemed to be fine, "Ace? Where are we...?"

"I don't know." Great, he's fine.Ace breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to observe the surrounding situation again, "Do you remember what happened after we came out of Summer?"

"..." I don't remember at all.Sabo thought for a few seconds before coming to this conclusion, "Just thinking about it hard makes my head hurt...and this place makes it hard to breathe."

"Ah." Ace responded, then touched the position of his left eye, and said, "I think...we seem to be attacked by demons."

"Huh? Really?" But it's not surprising that this place is called the world of dreams.A sea of ​​flames doesn't look real.Sabo said, "Did you find anything?"

"This eye sees a different scene." The left eye should have been sacrificed to the dream world to protect You Xiang, so there is something special about it.Ace replied, "This is still Wano... I mean, at least it should be Wano's dream."

"Maybe it has something to do with what Youxiang and the others said..." Sabo got up from the ground, and he said, "Anyway, let's find a way to get out of here, brother. You lead the way, and I will watch your back."

"Haha... I see." It's been a long time since I felt this way... However, there didn't seem to be many moments that required such nervousness in the time spent with Sabo before.After all, it is just a small kingdom of Goa and an uncertain terminal... The situation that appeared in the fantasy has come true, but it is not as easy as imagined.Ace said, "The others should have noticed we're gone, right?"

"Not necessarily." Sabo spread his hands, "If you haven't seen Luffy or Terran for a long time, will you be worried?"

"That makes sense." It seemed that support could not be counted on.Ace said, "Let's go over there."

"Okay. I think it's all on fire anyway... What's there?"

"There is a dark shadow, like a person."

"Okay! Let's go in the opposite direction!"

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

The author has something to say:

Szabo: I'm not kidding.I'm terrified of ghosts or something.

Ace: Who broke all the horns of the boss of the ghost (Xiao Xi)? ?

Sabo: Shipp and Ghost are two different things!

You Xiang: That’s right! !

Ace: You two seem to be in sync in strange places!
