[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 545 The girl in the cage

Matthew the kitten was killed by his brother.

You Xiang looked at the little corpse in the flower basket, unable to shed a single tear.She should thank Mr. Guard for bringing the dead cat back for her.This may be the only thing Mr. Guard can do.

Youxiang doesn't know what Matthew did wrong, maybe he went to eat his elder brother's lunch?Or bitten the curtains, cushions of the palace... or anything a kitten might do, which is not worth mentioning for an emperor.

However, no one dares to complain about anything, and no one can accuse anything.What's more, is it fragrant?

Her brother did not allow her to step out of the courtyard of the palace.Even if you go for a walk in the garden, you have to follow three guards and a maid.Brother Brother has countless reasons and his unquestionable strength.No one can resist him, no one can question him.

Even Her Royal Highness is imprisoned, so what's the point of killing a kitten?

"I'm sorry." Youxiang bid farewell to her best friend, "Mr. Guard will bury you under the cherry tree in the courtyard. I'm sorry...it's my fault."

The guard shook his head, he didn't know what to say.Her Royal Highness is very pitiful, she has never seen the outside world, not even a few outsiders.I was locked in the room every day, and the farthest place I have been to is the garden of the palace.Even everyone was ordered not to speak too much with her.

People say that the emperor wanted to keep his favorite things with him.But the guard felt that His Majesty did not like Her Highness the Princess, but hated her.Because he couldn't think of a reason to do such a thing to a person other than hatred.This kind of long and gentle pain, I don't know how long Her Royal Highness can last.

The guard picked up the flower basket containing the kitten's body.He didn't want to see the princess anymore, so he left without saying anything.He is just a guard, he can only guarantee his own life and job.He didn't even dare to think about saving Her Highness the Princess.Burying the kitten was the only thing he could do.

Youxiang sat in her room.She didn't turn on the light.She didn't dare just now, she was afraid to see the kitten's corpse too clearly.She only cried silently now when she was alone.The moonlight outside the window hit her snow-white hair, the black neck, and the circles of delicate patterns also turned white.Those aren't tattoos, they're curses.

It is said that this is the mark of a cursed child.The son of the curse will bring disaster to the world.

His Majesty the Emperor was protecting Princess Youxiang, as well as everyone else.Her Royal Highness is safe staying in the palace without worrying about the curse hurting others.This is what people get said.Everyone accepts - it's a palace after all, so what's there to complain about?

Youxiang also accepted.At least she felt like she accepted it.Everything I have experienced is because of my own curse.Being locked up here and losing my only friend must be because of this.I'm sorry, I'm sorry... If I hadn't been more careful, if I hadn't been friends with you, you wouldn't have died, would you?Sorry... Matthew...

I don't know how long it took, but Youxiang fell asleep crying and crying.No one knows, and no one cares.It's always been like this.However, this time, Youxiang was awakened by the loud voice and the soft touch on her face. She rubbed her eyes and sat up, and was surprised to find a black and white kitten squatting on her bed and licking its paws: "Matthew... ...?"

"Miss Youxiang. I finally found you." The kitten spoke.

"...Huh?" Is this a dream?Is this a dream? ?The cat... has spoken!Also very well said!Youxiang froze in place.

"Hey... It's too troublesome to explain, and it must be hard for you to understand now." The kitten stood up, walked to Youxiang, put his little paw on Youxiang's leg and said, " Miss Youxiang, I am Matthew. I am your friend who came back from the dead. I came back from Hades to save you—and this world.”

"Hey?!!"

"That's right. Although it's very impactful, you should be able to understand." The kitten continued, "You have to escape from here. Miss Youxiang. Do you want to be locked up in this ghost place for the rest of your life? Don't you want to live your own life and find your own happiness??"

"I, but..." What the hell is going on...Why did Matthew become such a strong kitten!He just learned how to speak!Youxiang was a little flustered, but she still answered Matthew's question, "I don't want to...stay here...but the curse..."

"Maybe it's not a curse or maybe it is."

Youxiang raised her eyes in surprise at the kitten's words: "Isn't it...?"

"Ah. No one knows what this means, right? Don't you want to know? What do these patterns represent, who are you, and why do you have to be locked up here... These things, if you don't If you search for it, no one will be able to tell you the answer." The kitten jumped off Youxiang's bed after saying that.

He ran to the door, then looked back at Youxiang and said, "If you are willing to believe what I say, this is your only chance. As long as you act now, you may get rid of all this. You choose, but Time is running out, Miss Youxiang, you don't have much time."

This must be a dream... so suddenly!Youxiang didn't understand what happened, but there didn't seem to be much time for her to think.For her, what the kitten said had a greater attraction than anything——

So, she stood up and followed the kitten: "I, what should I do?"

"As expected of you, Miss Youxiang." I knew it would work.Matthew seemed to be laughing, and he said, "Come on, put on some clothes that are suitable for action. Then listen to me, do you hear the noise outside? A burglar broke into the palace tonight, you Take advantage of the chaos he created to get out."

"That..." Although it is easy to say... Youxiang said while looking for suitable clothes in the closet, "The guards in the palace are very strict, and, if my lord brother is alarmed, everyone will..."

"I'm not an ordinary kitten. Miss Youxiang." Matthew said very confidently, "I will help you find a suitable escape route. Trust me."

"... Mmm." I don't know why, the kitten's words are so believable at this time.All of this is obviously like a dream, but it is incomparably real.Even if it's a dream, even if it's a dream, I want to...

Youxiang changed her clothes as fast as she could. This was the equestrian clothing she would wear when riding a horse.It was a good thing the clothes hadn't been thrown away, although my brother hadn't allowed himself to ride a horse a long time ago.

"Very well, let's go." Matthew said very satisfied, "This cat's body is very inconvenient, but it is very suitable for concealment. I need your help, Miss Youxiang."

"The body...?" the kitten said strange words.

"Miss Youxiang... The whole world has undergone earth-shaking changes. I can't say I know all the truth, but I can only promise that I will always help you. I believe... Even if everything changes, the human heart will not change .That's why I came to you." Matthew said, "There are things only you can do here. Please trust me."

Youxiang nodded, and she didn't ask any more questions.It doesn't matter anymore, it doesn't matter anymore.Even if I believed in a talking cat, I wouldn't want to stay here.Not for a moment.

They walked out of the princess' room.Although the door is usually not locked, there will always be guards by the door.But now there is no one in this corridor.Noisy voices could be heard not far away. The knights ran around to make the armor make that crisp sound. It seemed that the thief really caused quite a mess.

"Miss Youxiang, this way."

Matthew leads the way.Cats are much more agile than humans when they move. Although this body has some disadvantages, there is nothing to complain about now. This is the best thing that can be made with the materials at hand.

The whole world changed, in an instant.When the shuttle had just left the sky above Wano Country and Matthew had just contacted Youxiang, the color of the sky turned khaki.Back then Iji was complaining about his troubles and his ribs weren't healed.Immediately afterwards...all of that disappeared.

Matthew wasn't sure exactly what was going on, he could only speculate what went wrong.This has something to do with magic in all likelihood.Now, all the great routes and Mary Gioia have disappeared, and even the structure of the entire planet has been changed.A continent that did not exist before appeared on the sea that should have been connected by islands, and the people who lived on the island before had a new identity on this new continent.

There are several different countries on the mainland, the most powerful of which is the current empire called Tedronia.There are other desert kingdoms, magic kingdoms, trading nations, etc... Simply put, it is like those retro RPG games on the earth hundreds of years ago, this is a world of 'sword and magic'——

Everyone accepts their new setting and forgets the past, except Matthew.Because Matthew didn't get the 'new set'.This is why he speculates that everything has something to do with magic.He is not a human being, nor is he a creation of gods, so those magics have always been ineffective on him, so he didn't get a new identity.

Matthew was only allowed to exist in this new world, and he couldn't find where all his former companions had gone. I'm afraid they had acquired new identities and were unaware of this strange encounter.Matthew took some time to confirm how serious the situation was, and finally determined that this phenomenon only remained on this planet, and even his own satellites were not affected.

This is exciting news, because Matthew has satellites and is close to invincible.

For a few days, Matthew even felt that 'it might be okay', but when he thought about the past, he felt that it was not worth it.How could these worlds 'changed' out of thin air by unknown people be better and more exciting than those created step by step by people themselves?This kind of simple and rude change is definitely not something to be praised.

What's more, how could Matthew allow someone to 'destroy the world' one step ahead of him?

So Matthew sprang into action, he needed to get everything back to the way it was.No matter how bad the reality is, human beings should face it in person instead of seeking mysterious power to create this illusion.So Matthew is here, looking for Miss Youxiang——

But he didn't know why Youxiang gave a kitten his own name.Probably subconsciously have a little impression of myself.This body was also made according to the shape of the kitten. At first, it was thought that it would be more convenient to use this body to enter and leave the palace, and it would be easier for Youxiang who didn't remember the past to accept it.No matter what, now that you have successfully found Youxiang, the first step of the plan has been successful.

"We have to find someone else, Miss Youxiang," he said.

"Who are the others?" Youxiang didn't understand at all.

"It's... a companion. A companion who fights together." Instead of telling her the memories that were forcibly erased now, it is better to use a simpler method to guide her forward a little bit.Matthew chose this more time-saving method, "If we want to find the truth, we need many, many companions."

"Hmm...although it makes sense, but... can I, only I, do it?"

"Trust me, Miss Youxiang." Matthew turned his head and said, "No one can do it except you."

The author has something to say:

Matthew: Go to Mr. Luo first and let him fall in love with you at first sight, so we can make good use of him.

Princess Xiangxiang: (naively)? ?

Matthew's new body: what are the faces - cat color matching, white gloves, black body and tail, white belly!The legs are a bit short, plump, round and hairy.Breaking through the cuteness record of all Matthew's previous bodies. (This is a remote control type, the real Matthew is currently unknown.)

In this article, everyone doesn't remember the past at all, and is given a new identity and new memory.It's fun to guess who's coming in what capacity! !I find it very interesting! !So now let's guess who the thief who broke into the palace is?
