An infinite journey starting from the big pirate

"Well……"

The girl's fresh body fragrance wafted into his nose, and Carlo's old face turned red.

You can't really say that you are dissatisfied. At present, I still have something to ask for. Anyway, I will never see him again after today, so I will feel aggrieved for the time being.

"Since you said so, let's go ahead with the engagement. But when will you leave for Shampoo?"

"What kind of attitude? Reluctant."

Luna was dissatisfied with Carlo's somewhat perfunctory tone. She rolled her eyes and suddenly smiled and said, "You can leave right away. Mom, he is already waiting at the port. I just followed you after seeing you sneaking around alone." Yes. However, since you want us to take you out, you have to agree to my request."

"any request?"

Carlo thought that it would be enough to admit that the play-like engagement was still working, but unexpectedly the little girl started to make demands again.

"kiss Me."

Luna smiled slightly, then closed her eyes and pouted her cute little mouth.

Carlo frowned immediately.

He doesn't like such casual girls. The last time they met, she was still holding Mirol's hand, but this time she asked him to kiss her. It's a solid idea that the Celestial Dragons can do whatever they want, but even such a young girl is so casual.

Although Luna was very cute, Carlo didn't know how many people she had kissed. To a child, it was nothing more than a game, but Carlo couldn't accept it.

"Do we have to kiss?"

"Ah."

Luna nodded.

This is the so-called self-inflicted misfortune. The seeds planted eight years ago are now bearing fruit and hitting oneself on the head.

Carlo no longer knew what to say. After all, the child was innocent. What made her become like this was just the deformed growth environment of the Draco.

Without lip-syncing, Carlo quickly tapped Luna on the cheek.

"Is this okay?"

Luna opened her eyes, frowned, then stood up on tiptoes and made a sudden attack. Unexpectedly, Carlo suddenly tilted his head and let her kiss the side of his face.

"cut."

Luna pursed her lips, "Anyway, we have kissed each other, so we are a real couple! Call me wife again and listen."

A vein immediately appeared on Carlo's head, but thinking that this would be beneficial to his own plan, he finally compromised and said one word at a time, "Old woman. Is that okay now?"

"Well, you are my first husband, hehehe."

Luna felt very benefited and immediately laughed sweetly, then pulled Carlo and jumped outside.

Luna didn't lie. Carlo did indeed see Luna's mother on a luxury bubble ship about to depart from the port.

"Long wait, mother! This is my mother, Lulu Palace. This is Carlo, do you remember him?"

Lulu is about the same age as Sheerness, but the years still cannot hide her brilliance. She is a very mature and charming woman.

But although she smiled softly, Carlo had a "cold" feeling when looking into her eyes.

"Hello, Your Excellency Lulu Palace!"

Carlo said, extending his hand.

Lulu was a little surprised, because there was no handshake etiquette among the Tianlong people. But she still stretched out her hand and shook Carlo's hand, and then said with a smile, "Of course I remember, isn't this Luna's little fiancé? He looks completely different now from what he looked like a few months ago. At that time, he looked completely different. Auntie was very frightened."

"I'm sorry, Lulu Palace, I... didn't control my emotions at that time and made you laugh."

It seems that Lulu also attended the banquet, so he didn't leave a good impression on her... However, this doesn't matter at all. I don't have any feelings for Luna, so it doesn't matter what Lulu thinks.

Luna quickly took Carlo's arm and said, "We are no longer fiancés, we just got married! You too, you have to call me mother like me!"

Carlo quickly defended, "Don't talk nonsense, it was just a kiss!"

Lulu didn't pay attention to Carlo's words. When she heard her daughter say this, she looked very surprised, "Really? Congratulations to you newlyweds!"

Uh……

Carlo was speechless, wondering if this pair was really careless or had ulterior motives?

Luna then told Lulu that Carlo also wanted to go outside.

"Do you want to take a look outside, too, Carlo? Yes, I still have a lot of vacancies on my ship anyway."

"Then I'll bother you."

Seeing that all the passengers were gathered, Lulu's servants controlled the bubble boat and began to float slowly down the cliff from the red continent.

"How's it going? The scenery here is nice, isn't it? The green forest-like place below is the Shampoo Islands..."

Luna pointed to the scenery outside and began to talk endlessly, like a child showing off his beloved toy.

But Carlo didn't listen at all. He agreed with "Yeah" and "Not bad", but his mind flew to the other side.

No wonder there weren't any guards at Mariejoia's port. They were all concentrated on the way up. Bubble boats full of soldiers kept coming and going, about every five minutes. Each boat had twelve guards armed with flintlock guns.

The equipment of these guards is obviously not simple, and it is difficult to force a breakthrough. You don't need to ask to know that their bullets must contain sea floor stone.

At the speed of his bubble ship, if he went down the normal route, he would encounter at least three waves of guards.

"Hey, hey! Did you listen to what others said?"

Luna said, pinching Carlo's arm hard.

"It hurts!" Carlo came back to his senses, "What's wrong?"

"You ignore me...oooooooo."

"No. I just... came outside for the first time and was stunned."

"Really?"

"Of course!"

……

Carlo noticed at this time that Lulu, who was sitting opposite, had a smiling expression from beginning to end, looking at himself and Luna, motionless.

Carlo couldn't help but feel a little weird.

This way, it's like a sculpture.

The bubble ship soon arrived at the shore. This is the military port established by the Navy under the Red Earth Continent. From here, they will take the Navy ship to the slave auction in the Chambord Islands.

In order to facilitate the protection of the Tianlong people, several powerful naval vice-admirals are stationed here all year round. This time, a lieutenant-admiral named "Fire Ship Jotun" served as the escort for the three people.

"If you want to take a minor Celestial Dragon away, please show your ID."

"I'm so beautiful, but you still can't recognize my face? Why do I have to go through so much trouble every time?"

"You are joking, Lord Lulu Palace. But rules are rules."

After carefully checking the documents submitted by Lulu, Yordon waved and said "Sail!"

"Is this the sea?"

Carlo stood on the deck of the bow, feeling the salty sea breeze blowing on his cheeks.

Although I have seen the sea many times in my previous life, this is the first time I have seen the real sea in this world.

Carlo saw the endless cold ocean in front of him, but his heart seemed to be ignited and felt hot.

Marie Joa cannot restrain me. From now on, I will also gallop on this sea and write my own legend!

"Carlo~"

Luna quietly came over at this time, as if she felt something, and gently leaned on Carlo's shoulder without saying a word.

The wind gently lifted Luna's hair, causing Carlo's heart to stop for a moment.

It would be nice if this girl wasn't a Celestial Dragon.

At the top of the cabin, through a small window, Yodon looked gloomy and quietly paid attention to every move of the two little guys below.

Speechless all the way.

The Chambord Islands are located in front of the Red Earth Continent in the middle of the Grand Line. They are an area controlled by the Celestial Dragons.

The archipelago consists of a total of eighty huge Yarchman mangroves, and the ground is the roots of the mangroves.

The mangrove tree secretes a natural resin due to its unique respiration, and the resin expands to form bubbles. This also created the special bubble culture of Tianlong and Xiangbodi people.

Each mangrove tree is numbered by the World Government, and the mangrove islands in each number range are also set for a fixed purpose.

For example, where Carlo and the others docked from Marigioa were areas 60 to 69, a passage area exclusively for the Navy and the Draco. Their destination is the slave auction house on Island No. 1, located on Island No. 29 to Island No. 1.

"It's a Celestial Dragon!"

"Get down quickly, don't look up!"

……

Carlo finally saw clearly how grand the Celestial Dragons were when they appeared.

Wherever the Tianlong people went, all the pedestrians on the street had to kowtow and kneel down, lying on the sides like animals.

Lulu didn't seem to have the habit of riding slaves, so the three of them rode a huge turtle-like animal.

Seats and pavilions were attached to the animals' hard backs for the Celestial Dragons to ride on.

Luna looked at the surrendering crowds on both sides and asked happily, "How about it? This is the 'power' of us Dracos. Doesn't it feel great to see so many mortals surrendering to you?"

"You need to figure something out, Luna."

Carlo stared into Luna's eyes and said seriously, "They did not surrender, they just had to kneel down when pointed at a gun."

Luna felt Carlo's momentary alienation, and moved forward unconvinced, "I don't understand, is there any difference?"

"Once the Celestial Dragons lose their guns, you'll know the difference."

Luna was stunned for a moment, then pouted, "Okay~"

"We're here." Lieutenant General Jotun, who was escorting from the front, turned back, glanced at Carlo, and repeated, "The slave auction house has arrived."

"Don't worry, I know you hate slaves." Luna took Carlo's hand and whispered, then smiled at Lulu and said, "Mother, my husband and I are going to visit other places, so we won't go in."

Lulu frowned and looked at Yodon, "This..."

Yodun immediately gave a military salute and said, "Don't worry, Lord Lulu Palace, I will protect you two."

"Okay, remember to come back before the auction ends."

Luna immediately smiled and said loudly, "Thank you, mother!"

The daughter is smiling at her mother, and the mother is smiling at her daughter.

Carlo looked slightly sideways.

Carlo, who has awakened his sense of knowledge, keenly senses that there is... a problem between mother and daughter!

A man and a woman are playing together outside. Isn't this a date? ?

Luna thought of this, with a sweet smile on her face, "Hubby, where are you going next?"

Carlo glanced at the group of bodyguards behind him and the Lieutenant General Jotun next to him who seemed to have "different eyes" on him, and scratched his head in annoyance.

You can't go anywhere with so many people, let alone a vice admiral.

In fact, Carlo really wanted to go to the "Shaqi's rip-off bar" on Island that appeared in the original work and check it out beforehand.

Judging from the original work, it was Xia Qi and Rayleigh who helped the three Hancock sisters return to Nine Snake Island. One of his plans after escaping this time was to find Xia Qi.

I had already seen the name "Xia Qi's Rip-off Bar" from a book called "Introduction to Shampoo Shops", so that shop already existed.

However, Island No. is a lawless zone. Going there now would be too conspicuous, and Xia Qi and Lei Li might be involved.

After thinking about it, now that he knew the general guard situation from Mariegio to the port below, Carlo had no place to go, so he said casually, "Then let's go to the bookstore and have a look. There should be a bookstore here." .”

"Bookstore? What is there to see in a place like that?" Luna said reluctantly, "I know there is a 'Bubble Amusement Park' not far away, and there is also a Ferris wheel. Can we go there?"

"Okay, you lead the way." Carlo was also very curious about what the Ferris wheel made by Pao looked like.

"You guys wait below, don't follow me!"

When they arrived at the Ferris wheel, Luna pushed Yorton out, pulled Carlo and quickly squeezed into the big bubble that served as the wheel well, and then looked at Carlo with a sweet and evil smile. Is there anyone who can hinder us now, hehehehe.

"It's really good."

Carlo turned a blind eye to the girl's uncomfortable gaze, but sat on his seat and poked the bubble bulkhead with his hand. It was soft and slippery, like a wet plastic plate.

"husband~"

Luna had been here many times and didn't care what happened to Bubbles. She sat directly next to Carlo and leaned on his shoulder, "It's just the two of us now."

Just when Luna was about to make some move to enhance the relationship, Carlo suddenly said calmly, "Yes, can you please tell me? What is your purpose in approaching me?"

Hearing Carlo's straightforward question, Luna was stunned for a moment.

"Are you kidding me, husband?" Luna hugged Carlo's shoulders and smiled sweetly, "It's not funny at all~"

"Stop pretending." Carlo glanced at Luna and said lightly, "Although your smile looks real, my experience tells me that that smile is fake."

"……I do not know what you're talking about."

"'Seeing, hearing, and color' is a power that can perceive people's hearts. I can feel the forcedness in your smile. I'm pretty sure you don't like me, but you fake smile at me for some purpose."

Anyway, now that he has achieved his goal of leaving Marigio, Carlo doesn't believe that Luna can still let Lulu leave him in Shampoo. So I don't plan to play house with Luna anymore and feel wronged.

"..."

Luna stopped talking. After a while, she stood up and sat across from Carlo.

The Ferris wheel was like a big clock that was on time. It was not affected by the stiff atmosphere in a bubble and slowly turned to the top.

Luna was at the highest point, looking at the colorful bubbles flying in the sky outside. Finally, under Carlo's gaze, she slowly said, "I once had a father and a brother. Unfortunately, they are both gone... taken by the devil." They lost their lives! After they died, I swore that in the future I would find someone to be my husband who could protect me forever and protect me from the devil forever..."

Having said this, Luna turned her head and looked at Carlo with tears in her eyes, "After I saw you at the banquet that day, I understood that you are my husband. Only you can protect me from the devil's hands, only you!" "

Carlo was stunned. Could this be the legendary "suspension bridge effect"? At that time, the little girl was shocked by him at the banquet, and then mistook her heartbeat for falling in love with herself? No way, how could it be such an exaggeration?

As for the devil that Luna said took away the lives of her relatives, it should be "death". Carlo knew that Luna's father and brother both died of illness a few years ago. The Draco are few in number, and every death is news.

In other words, after losing a loved one, did the girl receive the correct psychological counseling, and then in a twisted place like Mariejoia, did she slowly become like this unknowingly?

"Luna..."

At first, Carlo only thought of Luna as an unreasonable Celestial Dragon girl. He kept seeing her heartless sweet smile, but he didn't expect that the girl had such a tragic past hidden in her heart.

Carlo has even thought about how young Luna hid in bed shivering alone during the time when her relatives passed away, fearing the death called "the devil"...

Thinking of this, Carlo couldn't help but sit next to Luna and hugged the girl who was still trembling slightly by her shoulders.

He could feel that the girl was still afraid, and she just wanted to find a safe harbor.
