Master Swordsman who doesn't want to be the One Piece

Chapter 110 If I Put Down the Sword, I Can't Protect You; If I Hold the Sword, I Can't Hold You Close

Sol has been watching Maya nervously in the forest, for fear that if she loses her mind and jumps into the lake, even if she just wants to swim, Sol will not dare to be sloppy.

However, the girl just sat quietly like this, which made Sol feel even more uneasy, and at the same time lamented how much trouble this handsome face had brought to him, and wished that he could be more ordinary~~~
'I just yearn for the life of ordinary people, God can't satisfy me! 'Saul thought wildly shamelessly.

After giving Maya enough time to relax, he quietly walked out of the forest...

"Ahem~~ Maya, it's me."

Sol was still leaning against the totem pole, and found that Maya's eyes were out of focus, and he didn't notice himself at all, so he reminded her.

Visible to the naked eye, Maya's dilated pupils instantly shrank to a point, and then returned to normal, but her face did not change at all, still very calm, calm and terrifying.

"Oh, you're here, haven't you left yet?"

The blunt voice made Sol feel a little distressed, but he didn't regret what he did before, because he couldn't give Maya what she wanted.

"I have a girlfriend."

Sol suddenly said such nonsense, but Maya could understand it instantly, maybe because she grew up.

"What does it have to do with me?"

"No..." Sol just wanted to say it's okay, but suddenly realized that it seemed too cruel to say so, so he changed his words and said, "It's nothing, it's just a casual talk."

The atmosphere fell into embarrassment...

Sol couldn't figure out what Maya was thinking, but at least he had to make sure she didn't have that bad thought before he could leave with confidence, so he was thinking about what he should say to save this embarrassing situation.

If the silence continues like this, Sol's embarrassing cancer will be committed.

However, Sol, who really couldn't think of any shocking quotes that could solve the current situation, could only choose to tell a story in the end.

Without warning, he resorted to the great method of storytelling.

"Three years ago, I was shipwrecked and stranded on Shuangyue Island in the East China Sea..."

All the experiences, no matter what they have or not, Sol told them all, anyway, this is to attract Maya's attention and let her stop thinking about those bad things.

As for exposing the secret?

Sol shrugged and said that he didn't seem to have any secrets to hide. Even if he went back to 17 years ago through time and space fragments in Rogge Town, Kuina and Nami both knew about it, but they didn't know about it. It's just so interesting, and even if others want to experience traveling through time and space, they have no chance.

so……

Sol seems to have taken another step!
I made Maya hate me just now, and now I use my own experience to attract her. It feels like a closed loop and an infinite loop, and I can't get out of this vicious circle.

But Thor didn't know that he had messed up again, and he was proud of seeing Maya's eyes gradually become less gray.

"...Then, we came to this island of Aska. We originally planned to wait until the record pointer recorded the magnetism before setting sail again, but I didn't expect that after I heard the rumor of the Seven Star Sword..." Thor gradually said The story that happened yesterday.

"Anyway, I'm really sorry for deceiving you."

Perfectly ending with an apology, Thor took out a bunch of grapes from the large package next to him and ate them thirsty.

"No matter what purpose you have, it is true that you helped us kill the monster in the Seven Star Sword, so you don't need to apologize." Maya said in a still calm tone.

Although Maya said this, Sol was still very happy to hear it, not because of this sentence, but because of Maya's tone.

There is a difference between plain water and plain water. It used to be like stagnant water, but now it is living water and a source of flowing water.

Sol could feel that Maya seemed to be less entangled in her heart after listening to her whole story.

[Thinking divergence transfer method] is still very effective, at least it proves that Saul did not take the psychology class in college for nothing, although he was only pursuing...

cough cough~~
None of the above is the point!
However, although he felt that he should have retired at this time, Sol, who always felt amazingly charming, said one more thing: "Although the time is not yet ripe, when my name resounds throughout the great route One day, Maya, if you still want to explore the sea, come to me..."

Saying that, Sol took off one of the string of wolf tooth ornaments he had made on his belt and handed it to Maya.

"This is a token. One day, I will let this token resound throughout the world, and then you can go to sea with peace of mind."

As a thought for Maya, the main reason is that she is afraid that she will continue to dig into the dead end, and there is only so much Sol can do for her.

At the same time, he also blamed himself deeply in his heart. He shouldn't have approached Maya in that way at the beginning. If he had directly pretended to be a bully and villain, these things would probably not have happened.

"I know, Brother Saul said so much to make me stronger." Maya said with a sudden smile as she held the mace tightly and stroked the engraved lines with her thumb.

He thought that his combo tricks would penetrate people's hearts like spring wind and rain, but he didn't expect to be seen through long ago, and the awkward atmosphere gradually rose again.

"In this case... well... I'm leaving... You have to take care, Maya!" After speaking, Sol picked up the big cloth bag full of food and walked into the forest.

"You too, Brother Saul..."

She didn't look back at his back...

because……

I'm afraid I can't bear to...

……

After a long delay, when Thor returned to the port, his companions had already prepared everything and waited for him to set sail.

"I won! Hahahaha! Give me the money! Give me the money!"

When Sol just appeared within the sight range of his companion, he suddenly heard Nami's hearty laughter from a hundred meters away.

Driven by curiosity, Sol quickly came to the boat.

Nami who was laughing, Kuina and Robin who were smiling, and Feng Clay who looked depressed and unrequited, Saul couldn't understand what tricks they were playing.

"I say……"

Before Sol could ask, Nami jumped over and grabbed Sol's neck and said, "I said Captain, it's not bad! Thank you for letting me win money! This is your reward!"

After finishing speaking, he threw a gold coin to Sol, which made Sol even more confused.

Afterwards, they asked their junior sister Saul to understand that they were betting on whether Saul would bring Maya back when he came back.

Only Nami bet that he would not, and the other three even bet that Saul would come back with Maya.

The results were obvious, Saul ended up winning 30 Baileys for Nami.

Knowing the whole situation, she didn't understand why the junior sister Kuina would press Sol, who would bring Maya back with her, standing on the bow of the boat and shouting: "Orange Pirates, go full speed towards the next adventure!"

　If Thor chooses to let Maya join, it hurts Kuina, and if Thor refuses, it hurts Maya.

　　Like 'I can't protect you if I put down the sword, and I can't hold you tight if I hold the sword. 'This sentence is the same, beautiful and cruel.

　　When people have a choice, no matter what they choose in the end, even if they think it is the best choice for everyone, one person will be hurt. This is the feeling I got when I wrote this paragraph--yeah
　　It's been raining continuously outside for the past few days, and I accidentally fell into Wen Qing, what a headache...
