[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 445 Kindergarten Starts

The flames burned the earth.From the charred ruins, Ace and Sabo could barely distinguish what should have been Wano Country.However, everything was destroyed.There is nothing around except for some human-shaped shadows who can't communicate or touch at all.

Long ago, Matthew used to tell the story of a war that took place somewhere.In the story, there is an overlord who is known as the 'Sixth Heaven Demon King'.It is said that the places he passes will turn into scorched earth, and there may be no other better explanation for the scene in front of him except that the demon king just came.

Obviously, however, the 'devil king' here is someone else.The crackling of the flames in the ear was mixed with screams, cries and wailing, and at the same time, there were laughter and cursing, as well as... the voice of a dragon.That's right, Ace and the others have heard this voice before. Not long ago, there was a giant dragon entrenched in the sky of Wano Country, and the sound made by that monster was exactly the same as the one that was ringing in my ears now.

"Ace... Could this be... the scene when Kaido first came to Wano Country?" Sabo didn't know why he felt this way, he said, "Haven't you been to Wano Country before?"

"I, when I came here, I didn't..." It probably didn't reach this level.Although people's lives were very hard at that time, they never saw this scene of hell on earth.Ace said, "I think this may be an exaggeration of the dream world. Like a survivor's nightmare or something?"

"Ah... I hope so..." Otherwise, this is too... Sabo has seen many areas where nobles or powerful people are persecuted, but he has never seen such a situation, "It's like, war." Jie Erma and the others should have more experience, right?

"I don't know what Wano country was like before Kaido came, but the day he came, the war must have broken out." Ace shook his head, and he said, "We've been walking here for a long time, completely Didn't find a way out. I think we have to think of other ways."

"Ah. If this is the world of dreams, I think we didn't find the right way... I mean, maybe someone brought us here because they wanted to tell us something." Otherwise, there doesn't seem to be any place here. What obvious threat... Although being stuck here forever is considered a threat, since the other party has the ability to bring them here, there should be no need to spend so much trouble, right?

Makes sense.Okay, now calm down and think about what to do.Ace paused for a moment, then he said, "Can you remember now what happened before we got here?"

"I have a little impression." Sabo tried hard to recall, he said, "We left with Eustace and the others."

"Ah, I remember that too." Although Youxiang sent them to go shopping at the same time, he had nothing to say with Eustace, and of course he was not happy to go together.So it's natural to separate.Ace said, "And then we... we were on the street."

"..." On the street...and then it seemed like... Sabo had a headache and he said, "Wait! We met someone on the street, right!?"

"Channa!" That's right!Why would you forget it!When I met Chanel on the street, I thought she would come to criticize myself and Sabo's personal image again, but found that something was wrong with her and went to talk to her.It turned out that she seemed to be crying, and following her gaze, she saw Ash and Mika walking together in Wano country costumes.

"That's right, there's Meixia!" Sabo also remembered, "We saw Meixia! She was supposed to be with Youxiang and the others, but she didn't know why she was on the street!"

"Then..." Then when he was about to tell Chana this, suddenly... Ace's memory finally became clear, as if breaking through a fog, he said, "Then a black man appeared from behind Chanel. Shadow...a..."

"A demon." Sabo said immediately, "It's a demon. That's why we were brought to this place. We have to go back quickly, Chana and Yuka, they must be in trouble!"

"What~~ I just remembered it like this~~ It's so boring!"

At this time, in the flames, Chanel, who was dressed too gorgeously, stepped out of it.Although there is no definite evidence, both Ace and Sabo know that this person is definitely not Chanel.If I had to give a reason, it would be... too vulgar.Chanel shouldn't feel so vulgar.

"Although the strong are 'delicious', they are too troublesome." They can always overcome difficulties quickly...otherwise they wouldn't be strong. 'Chana' smiled, and she said, "Now that you remember, why don't you listen to me."

"Who are you?" Sabo said first, "If it's a demon...it must be. We won't listen to you."

"Oh, the vigilance is really high... because of that child. The bride of the arrogant lord is the treasure of high-level demons, a tool only for them to use. It's so cunning~~ Such a good thing, only for Wouldn't it be a waste for a few demons to use it?" The demon deliberately scratched his head and said, "Obviously everyone will enjoy it together to get more happiness, right?"

"Huh?" Youxiang is not a tool or something, let alone those demonic 'things'.Sabo was a little irritated, but fortunately Ace pulled him aside: "No matter what you say, we will not have any cooperation with the devil."

"Hmph...the one who offered sacrifices to this world, why don't you want to cooperate with us..." The demon looked at Ace, she narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Use your own flesh and blood to sacrifice, even if It’s because the time when the mage was still alive was not allowed to practice crooked ways. Half-hearted people with three religions and nine streams are courageous, and it’s a miracle that you are alive.”

"What's the use of you talking so much nonsense?" I know, I'm strong, right?Ace spread his hands, and he said, "Are you here to kill us or to talk to us?" During the conversation, Ace caught fire. Maybe this demon didn't know it, since Frey was a kid and he just said to them :

Don't talk too much with demons, they are born to speak words of charm, the more you talk, the more likely humans will be tricked.Just throw the chair in their face.

Since there are no chairs here, then... For some reason, Ace's flame is blue in the dream world, and he himself was surprised, but when he woke up, he found that there was a strange power filling him Body.This may be a certain effect of the previous sacrifice, these blue-green flames are the same color as the flames I saw in that dream.

"Cut..." I really couldn't communicate.Obviously a group of stupid humans... The demon showed a disgusted expression, she didn't seem to be the type good at fighting.However, this is the world of dreams, and she still has an advantage, "Forget it. You all lament your own powerlessness while watching the much-anticipated 'star' fall into my hands in despair!! Oops ..."

Suddenly remembered something, the devil laughed again, and she said: "She is already in my hands."

Almost at the same time, near the mansion of Five Ghost Hall.

"I knew it."

Matthew showed despairing eyes. He had a bad premonition when he went out, but when he walked near Wuguitang's house, he saw something he never wanted to see: another child.

"Katakuri!!"

"Pei, Brother Peros?!"

Katakuri looked at the child in front of him in surprise, probably around 10 years old.Even if he has changed into his childhood appearance, Perospero's characteristics are still quite obvious.What's more, Katakuri had a good relationship with Perospero when he was a child. To be honest, he kind of misses this scene.

"Mr. Perros?!" Youxiang also made a surprised voice, Mr. Perros was so cute when he was a child!This little top hat and overcoat really fit well...and there are candies in the pockets of the clothes...but, but!calm down!This is Mr. Perros!Can't touch!Don't touch Mr Perros on the head! !

"It's fragrant..." Peros looked a little helpless, "I really don't want you to see me like this. But I don't know what happened... By the way, you've lost weight again!"

"That... Long time no see! Mr. Perros!" Youxiang was a little nervous after being told that, "I didn't expect this to happen...I will help, Mr. Perros!"

"Hey... I said that after this meeting, we will be enemies..." Mr. Peros lowered his head, and he said helplessly, "But I didn't expect the meeting to be like this... I didn't have time to return to the boat... ..."

"Brother Peros, there's nothing you can do about it." I don't want to call You Xiang an enemy... just bear with it.Katakuri chimed in, saying, "Let's get this out of the way first. You've become like this, so that means the woman we met did it, right?"

"This is the only possibility." Frey appeared next to the two children at the moment, squatting there and said with interest, "But it's a bit strange, what's the point of doing this? Although the devil's thinking circuit is also I can't say that everything is normal, but I don't understand what benefits it can get."

"Maybe the enemy did it." Luo came over, and he recognized Perospero, who had seen this guy when he was in Totland.I didn't expect such a man to have childhood... By the way, Katakuri has it, so he must have it too.Law said, "Our enemy. Kaido or Orochi or something."

"Well, this can indeed reduce our combat effectiveness, but...why are they all from the Charlotte family?" Now both of them must be recruited.Matthew shook his head, "It doesn't make sense. Isn't BigMom and Kaido old friends?"

"Mom once sailed with Kaido." Perospero confirmed, "And it seems that Kaido still owes Mom a favor, and I don't think Kaido did it."

"There are no more clues to be sure now." Katakuri said, "Brother Peros, we are going to the exorcist in this country to ask for clues, and then maybe Mansfield will know something. Let's go together Let's do it." After all, it's quite troublesome for you to do this.

"I see." Perospero nodded solemnly, then he took out the candy from his small pocket, lifted it up and handed it to Youxiang, "You should take this first, Youxiang. His ability has declined a bit , that’s all for now.”

"Thank you... Thank you, Mr. Perros..." Although Mr. Perros said 'we are enemies' every time, every time we met again, he would give himself candy first... Youxiang took the candy, and she Said, "Don't worry, Mr. Perros. I think Miss Shengzi must have a way!"

"I'm more worried about you." I don't think I will always be like this, but you... Peros looked up at Youxiang, and he said, "You won't be able to eat anything good here. Youxiang."

"It's okay, it's just that the rest time is not as much as expected... Besides, there is really no cake or anything."

"I can't even eat cake...why do you have to suffer like this..." No cake, no black tea and no donuts!This is how people live!Why do you have to come here by yourself!Perospero's small body expressed his heartbroken feelings, and he said, "If you marry Katakuri, you don't have to suffer like this?"

"that……"

"What nonsense. Charlotte's family." After hearing this, Luo immediately pulled Youxiang behind him, and said, "Isn't she like this because of you!" Plagued by demons, but not weak like this!Now she can't bear even a little bit of grievance, and it's even difficult to maintain her weight simply. If she loses more weight, there may be other complications...

The more Luo thought about it, the more angry he became: "How could it be possible to go back to Totland. Stop dreaming."

"Mr. Luo..." Don't quarrel, Mr. Perros should just care about me.Youxiang grabbed Luo's sleeve, and he didn't say anything more, and if he didn't say it, it didn't mean that no one said it——

"That's right! The marriage is over!!"

A childish voice sounded very familiar to Youxiang and Matthew: "Don't dream about Katakuri! I won't let things like Totlan happen again!!"

"Hey, hey?!"

"Ah...help...the nightmare has come true..."

Seeing the owner of the voice, Youxiang became very surprised, but Matthew hugged his head in despair: "Do you know how difficult it is for me to raise you! Mr. Ace! Mr. Sabo!! Don't just go back Can the original point work! You guys are thinking about me!!"

"We don't want to either, Matthew!!"

Little Ace and Sabo jumped out, exactly the same as when they first met Matthew.Although smaller, it is still flexible.One after the other, they ran to Youxiang's feet and held her hands and clothes: "Are you all right, Youxiang?! Let me see!"

"We met a demon, she seems to be trying to kill you!!"

"Yeah! Are you okay? You seem to be a little more energetic than yesterday..."

Ace... Sabo... Youxiang saw them like this, and remembered their childhood.This inevitably made her a little moved, and even tears rolled in her eyes.She knelt down, patted the heads of Ace and Sabo, and then burst into tears: "Wooah! Ace! Sabo!"

"What's wrong! Don't cry! Youxiang!"

"That's right! We're already here! Are you okay? Did this Katakuri bully you?"

It's the same voice as before, it's the same person in the Kingdom of Goa, in Dadan's fortress.I really miss... that time of undoubted happiness.What was lost suddenly reappears in this form, even if it is only a little shadow of the past, it is...

"Wuuu...I miss you so much..." Missing the past...Although I don't feel pain now, but a long time ago, there were no worries, only hope and longing for the future in my heart, so, So hard to let go.

"Okay, okay..." Sabo touched Youxiang's head with his small hand, and said, "Don't cry, Youxiang. We are here. Although it looks like this, you are familiar with it, right?"

"Hmm..." Youxiang nodded while wiping tears.

"Don't wipe your eyes so hard, they are all red." Your eye sockets will be scratched by you!Ace grabbed Youxiang's hand, and then gently wiped her tears with his small hand, "It's just that you're fine. You scared me to death...you said 'the star in your heart has fallen into my hands'... ...I thought something happened to you!"

"Huh? Was that what the devil said...?" Youxiang looked up in confusion, and she said, "The person who encountered the devil was Mr. Katakuri and the others... Neither I nor Matthew nor Mr. Luo knew what happened."

"That demon knew you, and thought she must be talking about you..." After all, who else is the 'star' in our hearts besides you?Ace also gets a little confused, and he says, "Ah yes! I'm telling you, you are fragrant! Chanel might—"

"Oh, you are all here."

Chanel's own voice interrupted Ace's words, and she came from not far away, still wearing the same clothes as when they met last time.This is not in line with her style. After all, how can the fashion king wear the same clothes for two days?

"Miss Chanel!" Youxiang just wanted to talk to her, but was held back by Ace and Sabo, and then Luo blocked everyone: "Don't come here." He said vigilantly, "Ace is in charge. What did you say just now that Chanel is in charge?"

"Ah. This shouldn't be Chanel anymore." Ace's eyes didn't change much although they were smaller, they were still sharp, "It's a demon. It's the demon that turned us into such a demon!"

"........."

Luo didn't say anything, and immediately adopted a fighting stance, but the demon on the opposite side clicked his tongue unhappily: "It's still so difficult to deal with after being a child..." After chasing Ace and Sabo all the way, they didn't chase superior!This human body named Chanel is really hard to use!Why can't even the kids catch up? ?

There's nothing I can do... She raised her hand, raised her head slightly and said, "I won't let you hinder me!" As soon as the words fell, a gust of black wind blew from where she was!The strong wind forced Luo to protect his sight first, but who knew that after being swallowed by that wind...

The line of sight became... shorter?Huh?

"It's changed, it's become smaller..." Youxiang looked at her hand in surprise, it turned into a child's appearance!She looked up, "Mr. Luo too?! The hat is so cute!!"

Is now the time to say this? Youxiang! !Damn it, why did I become smaller, and You Xiang was so cute when I was a child! !The face is so round is an angel! !

Luo was about to speak incoherently, and in this chaos, Chanel had disappeared, leaving only Matthew who was "because it is a man-made object, so the devil's magic has no effect" and... a group of "primary school students".

Matthew looked at this 'endgame', he was obviously only a few hundred meters away from the Wuguitang family's mansion, why is it at this time, why... He paused for about three seconds, then hugged his head and turned to God Ask:

"Why?!!!"
