[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 536 Hero's Ashes

Did Miss Qili get relief in the end?In any case, she has now died as she wished.Youxiang thought that she was the same as her and should be able to understand her feelings, but now she felt that she didn't understand.Because I have always been protected by various people, mom, grandpa, Ace...everyone.

No one is making themselves a 'hero', no one is making themselves a burden, everyone is protecting themselves.But Miss Qili has been taking care of it all by herself.Whether it was before or after the treatment of the plague... Although there is nothing wrong with praising heroes, as Miss Shi said, sometimes people unconsciously hope that heroes will stand up and bear everything.

If it was Matthew, what would he say...

Youxiang didn't know what to do, she had clearly made up her mind, but now that she knew about Miss Qili, she felt a little shaken.It's not that I regret anything, it's just——

"It smells good."

Sipp's eyes did not return to white, and his wings were still ready to take off at any time.He approached Youxiang and said, "It's not over yet. The devil is still here."

"Huh? But Miss Qili has already..." disappeared...not even the corpse was left behind, completely turned into ashes and disappeared, what is the devil...

"It's different from the contract between you and me. Qili is possessed... If the conditions for the demon's summoning have not disappeared, even if Qili dies, the demon will not disappear. You are here to defeat the demon, you Xiang. Don't Forget your purpose." Wano Country has not been saved yet.Sipp said and looked at the surrounding stone tablets. Those stone tablets that started to crack seemed to change color. Could it be...

"Are those demonic manifestations? Like the ones on the bottom of the sea near Ghost Island?"

"Ah." Xipu nodded, "You must have a reason to come here, Youxiang. Tell me what you want to do. Don't worry about other things, you are my bride, so I won't judge you , I won’t accuse you or complain. Tell me what you really think, Youxiang.”

"Although..." Although there are many, many things to think about here, and although the reality is always complicated,... Youxiang said, "Although there should be no absolute justice or absolute good and evil, I think as long as If you can protect everyone, it doesn’t matter if you make me a hero! So, can you help me?”

"...Of course, my master." If this is your decision.Then... Sipp smiled, and at the same time the chains on his body made a rustling sound, and long scales appeared on his skin, "Please hold on to my 'rein'? After all, I will eventually Still arrogant."

After the words fell, Xipu flew into the sky suddenly, Youxiang was closed by the wind driven by his wings, and when she came back to her senses, the sky was covered with something black, and the surrounding stone tablets began to vibrate and shatter. At this time Ace ran to Youxiang's side: "Are you all right, Youxiang?"

"Hmm, um! Xiaoxi, he..." During the time Xiaoxi was talking to himself just now... Didn't Ace actually notice it?It feels like it's been a long time, but it hasn't been that long.Looking at other people's reactions, it's as if Miss Qili just disappeared!You Xiang said, "The devil is still here Ace!"

"I'll just say it!" Qili shouldn't be the real body of a demon...she's just a...tool.Turned into a tool for the devil to come to this world.From this point of view, she is very similar to Youxiang.However, it seems that because of the different levels of sacrifices, it is not too rational to use beautiful demons, let alone conditions.

Ace blocked You Xiang behind him, and when he looked up, he saw dark clouds in the sky. Before he could say anything, the stone tablet on the ground lit up with a blue-green light, and the roar of monsters came from all directions!However, there was no time to react to the growl, and an invisible force pressed down from above!

No one could explain what it was. It was as if the hand of God had suddenly struck down from the sky. There was nothing, but both the heart and the legs were firmly pressed down, and even the vision was the same!

The scenery in front of me seemed to have turned into black and white, and this situation only lasted for a short time. This force quickly concentrated to one point, and then swept away all the blue-green light on the stone tablet and went straight into the sky, overwhelming the sky. The black cloud broke through directly!The surrounding clouds began to rotate around this hole, and then gathered together.

The black cloud was pressed into a ball, and then turned into black wings as it turned!The wings spread open, the black clouds disappeared, and the sky returned to a clear look. The demon flew arrogantly in mid-air, and his black eyes gradually faded. He said: "Now is not the time to breathe a sigh of relief. Make an oath, Kozuki Oden, this is the only way to completely remove this curse."

"What do I want, what do I want to do? Master Qili has already rested in peace! What else do I need to do?" Mitian raised his head, and he said, "Leave it to me! I will do it! The burden of saving Wano country is up to you." I will bear it! The samurai of Wano will never give in! Tell me!"

"Do you accept what Qili has endured? Human? Do you have such awareness? Abandon everything, just like Qili, and jump into the sea resolutely. Do you accept this ending?" Asked arrogantly.

"I accept! If it is for Wano Country, if this can save Wano Country!"

"... As a human being, this is a brave answer. However, as a leader and a king, this is an unqualified answer. Oden." The haughty voice lowered, and he fell from the sky, and then he was a little bit hurt. The battered Oden came to Shi, and he said, "So what's your answer? Tianyue Shi. Tell me your answer."

"...For the one I love, I can give my life. But..." Toki said, "But I will not give up others. I believe... If Oda-sama is the heir of General Wano, then Whether it is now or in the future, there will be people who need him. Therefore, I will... guard all of this. Even if I live in this world... I will not compromise."

Xipu smiled: "Olu is right. Maybe...in the future, someone should fight for you too." As he spoke, a small jar appeared in his palm:

"This is Qili's ashes. I... just recovered it. I will leave it to you. In the future... someone needs to swear to this ashes again. Is that person Oden, or can he calm down the pain of death like today? Human anger...is something you need to think about."

"The curse... still hasn't been appeased?" But isn't Qi Li already... rested in peace?When he said, "Did Oden-sama do something wrong?"

"No. You've done a good job. It's just that... the curse is like that," Ship explained. Calm down."

"Oda-sama..."

"Ashi! I understand." Oden came to Shi's side, and he took Qili's ashes instead, "We will put it in a safe place. Then... we will make sure that someone can replace us, and we will also take the ashes. The burden goes on and on.”

"Please." Xipu said with a smile, "Then my mission is complete. Xiangxiang, we can go back!"

"Huh?! Well, that's all right, Xiaoxi??" Although it seems... indeed, everything that needs to be done has been done... But... Youxiang said, "Grandpa and Mr. Roger are still on the island, um, still Dover...I..." It seems too late, we should race against time, right?should now...

"Let me help you." Suddenly, Katakuri's voice came over, and he said, "Although I don't quite understand, you are all in a hurry, right?"

"Mr. Katakuri... Well, after we leave, you will forget it? Everyone will forget about us." So in fact... it's okay if you don't say goodbye.Youxiang was a little sad, she said, "It's okay, thank you, maybe, it's not the time to be willful."

"..." Katakuri thought for a while, and then he said, "Then I will write this down as: Someone asked me to say goodbye to Roger and Whitebeard. That's fine."

"what?"

"You care about it. You think you should do it even if it doesn't make sense. Then I'll help you. It's just a small thing." Katakuri said, "After all, you will be my bride in the future, so, I think ...Even if it doesn't make sense, it's important to me."

"Ka, Katakuri-san... I'm a little embarrassed!"

"That's right, I too..." My face was so hot!But... Katakuri said, "That's the appointment. Is there anything in particular you want to tell them? I will also try to remember and tell them according to the method just now."

To Grandpa and Mr. Roger and the others... As expected, there was only that sentence.You Xiang said, "Thank you, see you in the future."

"Well. I see." This sentence should be remembered.Katakuri smiled, and then he remembered that his face was covered, and when he was about to take off his scarf and smile again, he found that the figures of Yuxiang and Ace had gradually blurred.

"By the way, Xiaoxi! Dover! Don't forget about Dover! You have to send him back to the city of advancement!"

"Well, don't worry, I won't forget. And he's now... no, it's nothing," Ship said. "Anyway, let's get back. Matthew's going to be super mad, right?"

"He must be very angry now! By the way, Ace! Mr. Roger may have something to say to you, do you want to—"

"No! Absolutely not!" Ace immediately rebuffed, "Go now! Sipp! Go now!!"

"I, I know..."

It seemed that even if she smiled, she couldn't see it.Katakuri gave up on doing that again.He thought, see you again in the future.Although I don't know how long it will be in the future, but I am starting to look forward to it now——

"Xiao Youxiang?!" Suddenly!Roger's voice appeared behind Katakuri, "Wait a minute!! Xiao Youxiang?!! Are you going back! Wait!! Dad has something to say to you!!"

"Mr. Roger!" Comes just right!Luo Jie, who was standing still and rushed over, waved his hand, "Don't fall!! Dad~~"

"Ahhh! Daddy!! Rayleigh! Did she just call me daddy?!! Wait, that's wrong! What I want to say is..." Roger shouted while running, "Be happy!! Xiao Youxiang !! And Ace~~~!! Marry her for me, your idiot son!!”

"——Who is your son!? You don't even need to talk about you!!"

"Mr. Raleigh, I like you!!"

"Scent?!"

"Well, shouldn't it be a normal operation to take the opportunity to confess at this time?"

"Hahahahaha! You two!" Rayleigh laughed loudly, and he waved after Roger, "See you in the future!!"

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

The author has something to say:

As long as they leave, Roger and Grandpa will forget that Youxiang and the others have been here.And Rayleigh, Grandpa and Katakuri can meet in the future, but Roger just...
