[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 548 Journey of Destiny

The sewers of the palace are connected to a cave.It would be inaccurate to say that they are connected because they are separated by a wall that is not strong and is in disrepair.Matthew pointed his furry little paw at the wall and said, "Blow it up, Mr. Ace." Then...

The sewers of the palace are connected to a cave.The cave goes deep into the mountain on which the palace is backed, and after walking out of it, there is a vast wilderness outside the palace.At this time, it was already dawn.The afternoon sun is accompanied by a cool breeze blowing across the grass.From time to time, a few alert little animals ran across the field, and the birds in the sky were chirping without knowing what they were talking about.

The scenery here must not be taken care of by gardeners, but it is more beautiful than any garden that is taken care of by the top gardeners.

"The earth... is extending like the sky...?"

Youxiang looked at the endless wilderness, she said: "The book says that the end of the land is the sea. Are we going there, Mr. Ace?"

"Ah." Have you really never been out of the palace... Have you never even seen this kind of scenery?What the hell is she doing? What crime did she, a noble young lady, commit to be treated like this?Wouldn't it be better to kill her than this?Ace didn't know what to say, so he could only change the subject, "I don't know exactly where this is, we—"

"It's in the northeast corner of the king's city. The nearest port... should be Montenaxi. It's best to cross the mountain road, bypass the king's city and enter the forest directly."Matthew planned the route just like he did before, "There should be some small towns or villages on the way for us to rest."

"........."

"What's wrong, Mr. Ace? Do you still suspect that I'm a demon?"

"No... just... forget it." I just felt very familiar for a moment just now.It's not surprising or surprising, it seems to be used to it.Ace let go of his strange thoughts, and said, "If you say that, I probably know where it is. There is a small town in the mountain forest to the east, and we should be able to get there before dark."

"It's a good plan." It's rare.It turns out that you are really reliable in front of outsiders, Mr. Ace!Matthew sighed in his heart, and then said, "Miss Youxiang, let's go. Are you tired? After all, it's been a long time walking in the cave."

"Matthew! There's a bunny over there!" Youxiang didn't seem tired at all and was a little excited. She pointed to the grass not far away and said, "It's exactly the same as the picture in the book! It's so fat and cute, let's go and see it." Look!"

"What a discovery! Miss Youxiang! It's you!" Matthew also excitedly jumped on the top of Youxiang's head, pointing with his little paw, "Mr. Ace, did you hear that! There is a family of fat hares in the grass over there !!"

"Ah~~So that's it! It's really a great help!" Ace took two steps forward while agreeing, just when You Xiangtian really wanted to say, "Let's go and see together", Ace suddenly The fire came out and rushed to the grass at an extremely fast speed!

——By the time Youxiang realized it, she was already sitting in front of the campfire with a sizzling roasted hare in her hand.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

"Hares have extremely strong reproductive ability, and they will destroy grass roots, crops and plants, causing other wild animals to lose their food sources and the number of them has dropped sharply. There are no natural enemies for them nearby. We have made a contribution to nature by rounding up." Matthew squatting Said by the fire, "But it doesn't take that much reason to just eat roasted hare."

"People live to eat." Ace's philosophy is simple and crude but very reasonable. "If you don't eat enough, if you don't walk fast and stay in the mountains at night, you will be eaten by other animals in the mountains, Miss."

"I understand the truth! What I mean is that you two should just tell me directly!" Don't pretend that you want to go to see Tutu with me!Youxiang complained softly, and she said, "But, won't Matthew eat some? Kittens can't eat barbecue?"

"In theory, it's not impossible. But I don't need to eat." Matthew said, "Although I look like a cat, I'm not really a cat, Miss Youxiang. You don't have to worry about me too much."

"Matthew is not a cat...is he really a demon?!"

"No. It's the complete opposite of them." Matthew didn't want to explain when he heard it, "I am your loyal, unique servant who is about [-] times smarter than all humans. You just need to know this."

Ace moved closer to Youxiang, staring at the kitten in front of him and whispered, "He's definitely a demon."

Although... everything is very confusing, and You Xiang doesn't know what to do or how to do it, but sitting by the campfire and talking about strange things like this, it seems that this is not the first time it happened .Obviously it should be the first time, obviously it is impossible to have such an experience before, but why it seems...

Youxiang suddenly felt something strange in her chest. She put her hands on her chest, and Matthew immediately realized the problem. He jumped on Youxiang's lap: "Do you feel uncomfortable, Miss Youxiang?"

"No, it's nothing... I sometimes feel a strange feeling in my chest... But it will be fine after a while."

The special constitution and what was left before have not been changed.The 'people' who cast world-changing magic still have considerable limitations.He cannot completely erase a person's past, rather, he may not be able to change the things that have been formed in the past.

He can only do his best to cover it up, make people forget the existence of those important traces, and cover all the important ones with a lot of other fabricated information.It also means one thing, that you can never hide a presence.One day, it will see the light of day for various unexpected reasons.

This 'new world' is not only imperfect, it may also be quite fragile-after all, there is still the fatal bug of Matthew here.

"Are you sick?" Ace didn't quite understand, he said, "It's okay to take a break."

"No. It has nothing to do with that." Matthew jumped off Youxiang's lap again, "Let's go to that forest town quickly. It will be fine when we get there. Miss Youxiang, you must never leave Mr. Ace next to you, you know?"

"Um……"

"By the way, by the way, Miss Youxiang. Do you hear strange noises or often have nightmares at night?"

"Huh? How could Matthew know..."

"..." I'm in trouble... I'm afraid Miss Youxiang has lost the protection of those demons with her appearance.They shouldn't leave Miss Youxiang's side.The only time it was stripped was when the Demon Fear was imprisoned by BigMom in Totland.So now is it possible to speculate that in this new world those demons are also imprisoned?

Matthew paused for a while, which made Youxiang a little worried: "Does Matthew know what happened to me...? My elder brother said it was because of a curse..."

"Every word your elder brother said is a lie, don't listen to him." Matthew interrupted Youxiang directly, and he said, "Your physique is indeed special, Miss Youxiang. But it doesn't Saying good or bad is like some people have fairer skin, some people have darker skin, and some people have blue skin. Everyone is different, and that's what makes the world."

"Matthew..."

"You don't need to be like everyone else. It's better to say that you are different. Just remember my words." Matthew said it so confidently that anyone who heard it would feel confident, " All right. Let's go quickly."

"Matthew!" Youxiang stood up, and she stopped Matthew who was about to go forward, and then said, "Thank you...you are the first person to say that this is not a bad thing!" It's not that I haven't met people who sympathize with me, but they all have the premise that 'the curse is terrible'.No one ever said it wasn't a bad thing.

"In the future, you will find more people who can say that, Miss Youxiang." You have many such companions yourself.Maybe this is why I can't understand the world.Matthew didn't continue, but Ace interrupted: "What would happen if we all became the same?"

"die."

"what?"

"If organisms do not have diversity, they will lose the ability to evolve and gradually go extinct." Matthew answered this question from a scientific point of view, "So, although special people are sometimes annoying, our Survival desperately needs them."

"really?"

"Really. Although the principle is more complicated, the conclusion is almost the same."

"Then you are that special person?"

"I'm not human."

It always felt like he didn't really like the topic, and Ace was trying to upset him on purpose.Youxiang watched and didn't dare to speak, or she was more interested in the next journey than trying to persuade her to fight.What would Forest Town look like?Who will you meet?Looking forward to it!

"The first thing we did when we arrived in town was to find you something to wear." Seeing Youxiang following him up and down, Ace said, "Doesn't it make you uncomfortable to wear this?"

"Huh? It's okay...I only have this one suitable for activities."

It looks too tight!Why do you have to tie your waist so tight?Ace doesn't know about aristocrats or fashion, he just knows he can't breathe when he looks at it like this: "We still have a long way to go, what if you suffocate halfway?"

"No... But if Mr. Ace thinks it's necessary..."

"It's very necessary. Normal people don't dress like this to walk around. We are fugitives from the palace, so we need to keep a low profile."

Indeed, it is better to keep a low profile now.Youxiang felt that what Ace said made sense: "Did Mr. Ace go to Montenacie to find that partner?"

"Well. We made an appointment to meet there." Ace said, "He went to investigate another clue. I hope he has better luck than me."

"What kind of man is he, Mr. Ace?"

"Huh? I don't know how to describe it. In short, he is very reliable. It's like..."

"Brothers?" Matthew interrupted.He nimbly jumped onto Youxiang's shoulder, then lay there and said, "Are you and him like brothers?"

"That's right." Ace nodded, and he said, "We're like brothers."

"blond?"

"how do you know?"

"Guess." Otherwise.There are only two brothers in all of you, and the black-haired one cannot have 'reliable information'.People who should connect will always connect, and it seems that this new world cannot erase the bonds between people.Matthew made a perfunctory sentence, and then said, "Our journey seems to be quite interesting, Miss Youxiang."

The author has something to say:

Matthew: Sure enough, it would be better to go to Mr. Luo.He is easier to use.

Luo, who was somewhere far away, felt a chill in the back of his head and sneezed.
