[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 575

——"What are the two of them doing?"

After standing and watching the little cats Matthew and Luo fighting for a while, Ace came over.He also looked at the two men, and said, "Did I look this stupid when I fought with Matthew before?"

"Haha..." Should I stop telling the truth?Youxiang smiled wryly twice, and he said, "You've changed your clothes, Mr. Ace. I'm sorry that Matthew seemed to be having a hard time helping you..."

"I always feel that I am used to his style." It seems that I have known him for a long time.Ace shrugged and said, "Have you guys agreed on what to do?"

"Yeah. We want to figure out what the rot is all about first."

"That's it." I got it.That Luo guy should naturally go with you.But I... no matter what, I have to meet with my partner first.Ace said, "Youxiang... As I promised before, I will always be by your side. However, can you take a short detour to Montenaxi to meet my partner?"

"Is that... Mister Sabo?"

"That's right. He's like a real brother to me. I'll at least tell him about my decision. After all, it happened so suddenly... I don't remember the exact circumstances, but I'm sure how I feel now "You are definitely the one I am looking for, you are the 'rare treasure'.Ace said, "So I have to explain it to him."

"Well! I understand." After all, he is an important companion, Youxiang said, "It doesn't matter, because Matthew said that we must hide in the Sweet Kingdom across the way, and he also said that he would go there to find a backer and so on. . . . so our final destination is still Montagne.”

"However, you may delay this time because of the corruption disease." Isn't it necessary to investigate.Ace said, "It's a little bit difficult... The empire seems to be about to block the port of Monterrey. Although I don't want to say it, if we don't hurry up, we may not be able to go to sea."

Almost forgot about this! !Youxiang suddenly remembered that she and Ace were still wanted.She said: "Then let's hurry up! First, that...let Mr. Luo and Matthew stop arguing!"

"Hahaha...that's right, let's stop them both first." Ace laughed, but he looked at Youxiang, and the smile disappeared quickly, "Youxiang, can you tell me...you really want to do it? These things?"

"Huh? Mr. Ace...?"

"I don't mean anything else... just, if you do it just because you think it's right, I don't think it's a good reason. I hope... I hope you can do things that make you happy, not Do what's right." I don't want you to be a hero or something.Ace said, "I hope you will be happy and fragrant."

Ace... suddenly saying this makes me even more embarrassed, okay?Youxiang's face turned redder than before, and she said, "I...I want to do this, Ace. If I don't care about it, I will definitely not be happy and happy."

"I see." Look up, I didn't blame you.Ace said, "Then I'll help you too. I don't know what I can do...but I will help you!"

"Yeah." Youxiang looked up at him and smiled again, "Ace just needs to be by my side!"

"Well, then I can do a good job?" Ace deliberately said while approaching him, but within two steps, Luo rushed over and inserted between them: "You are here! Ace is in charge!"

"Woo, you startled me!" You are too fast!Ace took two steps back, "Really...you don't even think about it, do you still have time to argue with the cat?"

"That's right, I was too impulsive." Luo calmed down, and then said, "You Xiang, please tell him not to scratch me."

"Matthew..." Youxiang took the kitten that was still baring its teeth and claws, then stroked the top of his furry head and said, "It's done~~ If we don't hurry up, we will be caught by the soldiers of the empire, okay?"

"Almost forgot about this!!" Matthew suddenly stopped struggling, and said, "It's not too late! Do everything you have to do here! Mr. Luo - ah, he has started to go Yes, let's follow! Miss Youxiang!"

"I-I know!"

Youxiang responded, and immediately trotted to catch up with Luo in front.Luo works a bit like Yiji, and feels like a completely different person.Matthew said: "They are really the same in front of people other than you." Youxiang was a little unbelievable.Both of these people had the experience of confusing what they were thinking with what they were going to say, and it was clear that what they were thinking and what they were going to say were completely different!

But...everyone in the Beastman race is very cooperative.Obviously they were persecuted by humans before, but when they heard that Luo and Matthew were looking for a cure for corruption, they were very happy and trusted them unconditionally.Beastmen... are actually a very simple race, right?

"Matthew... the brave, what is it that decides?" Is it the title given?Is it an innate talent?Youxiang said, "If a brave man is a hero who has just embarked on a journey, then what exactly makes a brave man embark on a journey?"

"Hmm... This is indeed a problem. In the stories, brave men are born with missions, and they often inherit the blood of their ancestors. But there are some exceptions. What does Miss Youxiang think?"

"I think... as long as someone shoulders the burden that must be borne by others, as long as he chooses to embark on a journey, he should be able to become a brave man." It is not born with any ability, and it does not have any bloodlines , just the sense of mission and determination that appeared in my heart.

To choose to be brave: "So, as long as we decide to be brave, we can be brave! Like now...we decide to help, and we can become different people. Right?"

You are right, Miss Youxiang.Matthew looked up at You Xiang, and said, "But why are you saying this all of a sudden?"

"Because I think...Miss Wanda and the others who are able to welcome us warmly and actively seek solutions to the matter despite all these sufferings are also very brave." Everyone...It is obviously painful, but Still willing to listen to us.

Obviously there was a conflict, but they still calmed down.

Everyone has worked hard, so the 'brave' cannot be the only one to be praised.You Xiang said, "That's right! Let's go find Zed, Matthew, he seems to say he's going to take care of his friends or something..."

"Well, it's a good idea. The orcs seem to regard him as the same kind. If he is there, the patients should talk more." Matthew agreed, and he said, "Okay! Then leave Mr. Ace Help Mr. Luo here, let's go find Zed!"

Zed doesn't really understand why things have turned out this way.Just like Matthew, many times the so-called magical side doesn't affect him at all.And unlike Matthew, he can actually affect the magic side. Maybe even if there are many similarities, he and Matthew are still completely different existences.

In any case, at this moment, he couldn't empathize with what his fur tribe friend was going through, let alone understand the actual significance of people buying and selling fur tribe.He was just sad, since Youxiang left Totland, he had never been so sad.He didn't know how to deal with this feeling, so he could only quietly stay by his friend's side.

"Zed?"

When Youxiang and Matthew found him, he was sitting next to his corrupt and diseased fur tribe companion who had finally fallen asleep, and did nothing.The ears are pressed down almost into the hair.After raising his head and seeing Youxiang, his tail shook slightly: "Master, Matthew...he fell asleep. But I think he is enduring pain even in his dream."

"..." Youxiang didn't know what to say, and she became even more sad seeing Zed like this.Fortunately, Matthew is here. He said: "Zed, don't worry too much. He is not in danger now, and you can trust me on this point."

"Well... can't Matthew cure his illness?"

"We are investigating. If we can find the source of the disease, we should have some clues." Matthew replied, "Can Zed help us?"

"Of course." Whether it's for a friend or a master...Zed responded, but he was still a little frustrated, "Does Matthew remember him? Matthew should have met him when he was on Zou. "

"Ah, I remember. It's the person who forced us the fish balls." Matthew theoretically wouldn't forget anyone."There are also a lot of familiar faces here. Most of them are fur tribes from Zou," he said.

"Why did it become like this, Matthew... They should have lived happily in Zou. The enemy has been driven away by us, and no one will disturb them in the future. But..." Why did it become like this?Zed still didn't understand, "What's the point of building a so-called new world like this?"

"I can't answer your question, Zed." Matthew said, "I'm not sure why anyone wants to build such a new world. However, what is certain is that even if the purpose of that person's new world is To make all men happy, his purpose is also unattainable. No man can do it."

"Then if God exists..."

"If this is the case, the fur tribe will not be like this now."

Matthew and Zed pressed their ears down almost at the same time, and Youxiang felt that the atmosphere became depressed. She quickly said, "Well, Zed! Has your friend said anything about this disease?"

"Well...he told me that they lived on another continent before, and it was the first time someone contracted this disease when they crossed the sea." Zed replied, "Although I'm not sure, but I heard from the sailors at sea, If you hear the siren's song, scales will appear on your body, and then your skin will fester and die. It feels like this rumor is very similar to a corruption disease."

Tales among sailors?Seems like a clue.The scales might be those blue-green crystals... Matthew thought, "Looks like we'll have to go to Montagne anyway."

It's great that the destination hasn't changed.Otherwise, do I have to part with Ace?Although it may only be for a short period of time, You Xiang does not want that to happen a little bit.However, Ace has promised himself that he won't leave, so...he really won't leave, right?

"Before leaving, is there anything Matthew can do to ease everyone's pain?" You Xiang asked.

"I will tell other people how the fur clan and the orc clan concocted the relieving potion. However, if we want to completely cure the patient, I'm afraid we still have to wait for us to find the pathogen." Matthew replied, "However, Zed, you have to Shall we continue walking together?"

"Of course I want to be with the master. Although..."

"Zed, why don't you just stay here."

"Huh?" Hearing what Youxiang said, Zed's ears were all pressed down again, "Master thinks I'm in the way?!"

"No! Because I'm a little worried about Miss Wanda." Youxiang smiled, and she said, "You see, in addition to this disease, everyone in the orc tribe is also persecuted by humans. Now there are many people who are sick, and there are conflicts. If you do, it will definitely hurt both sides, so can Zed help me protect everyone?"

"Master..." Did you say that for me?Because I can see that I can't abandon my friend's idea... So, this is my own idea?This is what the master wants me to have, what I want to do?Zed suddenly understood something, he said, "Is the master leaving me?"

"Nah!!"

"But... the master told me before that when I have my own ideas, he will leave me."

"Huh? Did I say that...?" I don't remember at all.Why would you say that?Youxiang was a little surprised, "I, I used to...have a bad relationship with Zed?"

"I don't know...the master has always been nice to me. But...he always doesn't treat me like a dog."

Isn't this a matter of course!Because you are not a dog! !Youxiang was dumbfounded. She was stunned for a long time and didn't know what to say, so Matthew said first: "Zed, what Miss Youxiang means is that when you have your own ideas, you might want to stay in other places." place. Like, don’t you want to stay with your friends now?”

"Although I don't want to leave my friend alone, I also understand that the master is thinking about me. But...a friend also has companions by his side, and the master..." It was a person.alone.It will always be like this.Special physique, special thoughts... Even if there are so many people who are willing to give everything for the master, but still...

The master is still alone.And, there will be eternity.

Therefore, even for a brief moment for the master, I want to stay by her side.

"The master has saved many people, but is always out of their lives." Even if they wanted to accept you, you refused.I don't know what it is, maybe it's because of fear, maybe it's the eternal fear of the unknown that keeps you from being happy.I don't know what to do, but at least...

Accompanying you must be useful.That's all I can do, master, and I think it's the only thing I can do for you.

"If this is an order, I will stay, master." Of course, if it is your order, I will absolutely obey.Zed said, "But if it's not, then my only wish is to stay with the master."

Although dogs love to play with their canine friends, they will always love their owners most.

(Although Zed is not a dog, he is a wolf... No. It is a human! Zed is a human!!)
