[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 529 The Voice of Accusation

Who wants to die if they can live?

People are always full of fear of death.Even worse, the fear of the future is full of unknowns.Fear of the future because of fear of death is a serious disease that all human beings suffer from.

Sometimes, however, death is also a relief.When the pain of living is greater than the fear of death itself, then people will take the initiative to seek death.Whatever the reason, death is never something to be admired.

Thousands of years ago, when Qili offered herself as a sacrifice to save everyone, what kind of mood did she have in begging for death?

"If one person's death can change the world, that's a good thing."

A beautiful voice came from the depths of the mist, she said: "But this world cannot be changed because of one person. Because people are too complicated, because there are too many human beings. Then, how can we let the world be changed because of a pampered life? How can a person who has forgotten the fear of death start to fear death again?"

"It's my only way. It's my only way. By myself, and—"

"Everyone who has died."

"This is a curse from us."

It's a dream.Youxiang opened her eyes, it must be night now... Even Murloc Island has darkness.Now they live in hotels specially prepared for passing humans.From the large window next to the bed, you can see the quiet street outside.After a whole day, they didn't find any clues about the dragon finch, so everyone decided to take a rest first, and then go to the famous fortune-teller on Murloc Island in the morning to ask.

This fortune teller seems to be different from me, and it seems to be genuine.It is said that all her divinations so far have come true.It shouldn't be a problem... It can't be delayed any longer. According to Ace, it's very difficult for everyone to deal with the white knight. The longer it takes, the more dangerous it will be...

It seemed that I dreamed of Miss Qili again just now.Youxiang rubbed her eyes, she wanted to sit up now but couldn't move, because this guy Ace has been quarreling with Mr. Roger since chatting with Mr. Roger, holding on to himself.Until now, he still sleeps soundly while hugging Youxiang's shoulders.

Although Ace's left eye was 'sacrificed', theoretically speaking, he should be closer to the dream world, but it doesn't seem to have any special impact on him... His body is still very good, and he still sleeps fast and soundly.Youxiang stroked his hair, and then he woke up suddenly as if he had noticed something: "Youxiang?!!"

"Ace...?" Youxiang was startled by him.

"...It's a dream..." After seeing Youxiang beside him, Ace immediately fell down again. He resumed the posture holding Youxiang just now, and tightened his arms, "Good night... Phew... ..."

"Wait, wait a minute, Ace! Wake up..." Hey... Youxiang has almost gotten used to him like this.

"I can't eat ice cream at night...it's okay, I..." I'll sleep for a while... Ace fell into a drowsy sleep, and he said, "I'll... take Sabo..."

Saab?Is Ace still dreaming?

"...Don't cry...youxiang..." As long as Sabo comes back, you won't cry, right?You won't be sad after seeing him, will you?He'll find a way to make you happy, he's always been... Suddenly, Ace jumped up again: "!!??"

You must be really awake this time, right? ?Youxiang looked at him in surprise, thought to himself and then carefully called him: "Ace...did you have a nightmare?"

Ah, that was just a dream!Ace seemed to really wake up now, he breathed a sigh of relief, then sat on the bed and scratched his hair and said, "It's not really a nightmare...Did I wake you up?"

"I woke up first, Ace!" I woke you up!Youxiang also sat up, and she said, "I dreamed about Miss Qili...I think maybe Miss Longque is getting closer and closer to us. Can you go out with me to have a look?"

"Ah, I see." Have you always dreamed of Qili recently?Youxiang's ability doesn't really understand the principle of operation, and it seems to depend on luck a lot... Ace said that he was about to stand up, "Can you feel anything special?"

"Hmm...it seems..." Some voices could be heard.I can hear it in my dreams.Youxiang looked up, and there really was Rossi's noise reduction cover here.She said, "Rosie, can you remove the muffler first?"

"I see." Rossi appeared by the window, he seemed to have been sitting by the window smoking a cigarette, "I didn't notice anything special around... Can Cabbage feel where Miss Longque is?"

"I'm not sure, but in the dream, I felt very close to her!" Youxiang said, and Rossi's noise reduction cover disappeared.She immediately heard a strange sound.This should not be the voice of Qili or Longque, but something else...

Ace seemed to see something, and his left eye changed color a little.But it seems that other people have not noticed this, and neither has he.He went over to hold the hand of Youxiang who was a little stunned, and said, "I will be with you. Don't be afraid. Let's go."

Youxiang nodded, then looked back at Rossi, and Rossi followed suit: "The surrounding area is actually a bit dangerous, Cabbage. Don't leave Ace's side, okay?"

"Can Rosie feel it too?"

"I'm more or less familiar with it." I didn't know how this feeling of hairs stood up before, but now I know it.Something lurks in the darkness...and in the deep sea, barriers are not that solid.Rossi said: "I heard from Takumi before that he seems to have found Miss Longque in the sunken ship, so we shouldn't be able to go directly to her, right?"

"Well. But I always feel that if I get closer, I can hear more things." Youxiang recalled the content of the dream, and she said, "Miss Qili told me last time that I hope I can forgive her. She After giving her life for Wano Country, she seemed to be disappointed in Wano Country again for some reason. This time she said... she said she was a curse. What does that mean..."

Did Qili say she was a curse?Ace and Rosie glanced at each other, and after Rosie shrugged, Ace said, "Didn't Miss Shi tell us that Qili volunteered her life to prevent the spread of the plague, and then the angry evil spirits couldn't bear to kill her, so they just Did you make a promise with her? She should be the hero who stops the plague, right? The curse refers to..."

"Is there something wrong with the legend... After all, what Miss Shi said was only word of mouth. She also said that although Miss Qili survived, she still left Wano Country. So I I think... is it because Miss Qili said something to the wraiths after she jumped into the sea, or something happened that only she knows about..."

Saying this, the three of them walked out of the hotel and onto the street.In addition to the low growls of those monsters or the strange noises from unknown sources, Youxiang could also hear a melodious music, following this music, they came to the back of a residential house, from which the mermaid could be seen from a distance The location of the cafe.

It is said that the fortune teller who is very accurate in divination lives near here, but humans need transportation or bubbles to go there.Should it be close enough?In any case there is no other way!Youxiang made up her mind, she pulled Ace to let him sit on a nearby sightseeing bench, and then lay down on his knees: "Okay! I'm going to start!"

"Open, started??" Ace didn't quite understand, "Ah! Did you mean here? Dragonfinch is near here?"

"Hmm. I think it should be somewhere outside the bubble of Murloc Island, but this location is relatively the closest to her!" Youxiang closed her eyes as she said, "Here we go to the place of dreams. World, it should be more likely to meet Miss Qili! I will leave the outside matters to you and Rosie! Ace!"

"I know... Well, Youxiang. Don't force yourself to know it? If you think it's wrong, call someone for help." Although Ace emphasized this, Youxiang fell asleep without having time to answer.This speed seems a bit abnormal... Ace said, "Rosie... is she okay?"

"At least there is nothing wrong now." Rossi looked around, and he opened the noise reduction cover again, "Frey and the others are also there in the dream, so there is no danger. Let's protect her here."

"I understand." Ace responded, and he looked at Youxiang who was resting on his leg, whose long snow-white hair was hanging down to the ground.He picked up the soft strands of hair with his hands and placed them on his lap.But because it was too slippery, he tidied it up for a while to keep them from slipping down again.

Ace felt a little uncomfortable in his left eye. He raised his hand to cover that eye and tested his vision. There seemed to be no problem, but he just felt awkward.Since the eye was sacrificed by Mrs. Shijiang, it sometimes becomes a little uncomfortable in places that are considered to be 'unstable barriers' and... and around Youxiang.

Although the impact is not great, Ace still feels sad.Even so, he still couldn't share Youxiang's pain, and the sacrificial eyes still couldn't see the threats surrounding her.And now there is still no way to help her.

"Ace... are you okay?" The white part of the left eye turned completely black...Rosy asked carefully, "Do you feel uncomfortable? Or do you see anything strange?"

"No." Ace replied, "This eye has become weird, right? But I didn't see anything weird, and it was just a little weird."

"That's it...Actually, I don't really understand what will happen to Ace after you sacrificed this eye..." I don't know what happened to Dover after he made a deal with Frey and brought you here.The dream world is really hard to understand.Rossi said, "If you think there's a big problem, you'd better ask Frey as soon as possible?"

"Don't worry about me, Rosie." Ace smiled, and he said, "Mrs. Shi Jiang said, my eye now belongs to the dream world, so I can also see the scene of the dream world, and at the same time Use its power. That's enough... I can understand her a little bit better, right?"

"I think you, Ace, understand her well enough..." Isn't that good?Rossi said with some difficulty, "I understand how you feel. Cabbage's situation...is really special and not very good. But if she sees you hurt because of her, she will definitely not be happy, okay?"

"Well. I know." I said don't worry about me.Ace said, "You're starting to look like Matthew, Rosie. Do you want to be a mother?"

"I don't want to! Really! I'm just worried about you!" Are we still on good terms?Rossi said, "I'm also for the cabbage! Ace, you have to think about yourself too? Promise me?"

"Okay, I promise you, Mama Rosie~"

"I'm not a mother!"

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

The author has something to say:

Rossi's rebirth as a demon also has an inherent skill, which he hasn't discovered so far.In fact, he has used it two or three times unintentionally. Can everyone guess what it is?hey-hey……

When Ace's eyes are close to the unstable barrier (the place around Youxiang is actually the unstable barrier), the white part of the eye may start to turn black. will turn blue-green.It completely becomes the appearance of belonging to the dream world, and at this time, I can start to see some things in the dream world.

But in most cases, Ace's mood will not change if he is not so nervous or excited.In addition, he can independently decide whether to use the power of the dream world to turn the flames into blue-green.If he used it, the eyes would change too.

In fact, there are other minor effects, but because Ace is nervous and an idiot, most of the side effects have no effect on him.

By the way, I think it's cool to have the whites of the eyes turned black.The whites of Xiaoxi's eyes will all turn black when she uses magic or gets emotional. She once changed it once when she robbed the wedding at Kaer's place!
