An infinite journey starting from the big pirate

Carlo slowly opened his eyes and found that he was floating in the endless black void.

"Yo, you're awake!"

Carlo looked back and saw a man bathed in shadows.

"Who are you? Where am I?"

The person in the shadow suddenly laughed, "Hahahaha! We have been together for so long, but you don't know who I am? I am Don Quixote Carlo! And this is the home I have always lived in!"

With that said, the man walked out of the shadows, and Carlo was horrified to see that it was a face that looked exactly like his own with a sinister smile.

"what!"

Carlo suddenly sat up from the bed and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"It's a dream..."

Then with the pain everywhere in his body, Carlo immediately became more awake.

Pulling back the quilt, Carlo found that his body had been bandaged, and his wounds were cool and well treated with medicine.

"Are you saved? I thought I was going to die there." Carlo breathed a sigh of relief, his heart filled with joy of surviving the disaster.

Is this Xia Qi's bar? Where is Bai Yena?

Carlo looked around the simple wooden room, and finally shouted softly, "Is there anyone there? Is there anyone there?"

After a while, Carlo heard "dong dong dong" footsteps outside, and then the door was pushed open.

Seeing the person coming, Carlo immediately opened his eyes in surprise and exclaimed, "Why is it you!?"

"Oh? Do you still remember me?"

"Peach Rabbit! Why are you here?"

The little Loli's pretty face immediately tightened, "I'm not 'Peach Rabbit', my name is Gion! Please remember my name carefully!!!"

"Oh my God!"

Carlo covered his head in pain, "What is this place? Why are you here?"

"This is Sister He's boat."

Gion said proudly, "It was Sister He who saved you and brought you back to the ship."

"Lieutenant General Crane?!" Carlo opened his mouth in surprise, "Why Lieutenant General Crane?"

This was completely beyond Carlo's expectations. He really couldn't understand why he suddenly arrived on Ahe's boat.

"How long have I been in a coma?"

"It's been three days."

Carlo was stunned for so long? Then why haven't I been sent back to Marigioa by the crane? What does she want to do if she keeps me?

"How did Lieutenant General He discover me... I remember that I was on Shampoo Island before."

"Then I don't know. You have to ask Sister He." Gion said, "She has been waiting for you to wake up. I will call her right away. You stay here and don't run around!"

"Ok."

Carlo nodded doubtfully.

Crane is the chief staff officer of the Navy Headquarters. Logically speaking, when she discovered herself, she should have handed herself over to the World Government and sent her back to Mariejoia. How could she have brought him to her own ship?

Gion didn't let him wait too long. After a while, the door was pushed open again. This time, the person who walked in was the heroic female Vice Admiral, Tsuru.

After He walked through the door, he generously sat on a chair beside him and said, "You finally woke up, you little Celestial Dragon... maybe I should call you Carlo Saint."

"It's better to get rid of the word 'saint'." Carlo said, "From today on, I hope to put aside my identity as a Celestial Dragon and continue to live."

He said amusedly, "Are you suggesting that I don't want to send you back to Mariejoia? Do you think the identity of a Celestial Dragon can be discarded so easily?"

Carlo said helplessly, "After all, I spent a lot of effort to leave that place, and I don't want to be sent back immediately."

He propped his chin up and said awkwardly, "That's difficult to handle. I'm a marine. If I see a Celestial Dragon like you, I must send Mariejoia back."

"I left voluntarily and with special permission."

Carlo said, digging into his clothes and feeling empty. Oops, I gave the permission to Luna at the end.

"Oh? It seems I can't find it."

He then stood up and said, "I have no choice but to send you back."

"Wait, Lieutenant General He! I have something else to say!"

Carlo quickly stopped and said, "Ever since I met Lieutenant General Garp last year, I have been obsessed with his invitation. You must also know that he wanted me to join the Navy. Since then, the idea of ​​joining the Navy has been like a torrent in my heart. It goes on and on, that’s why I escaped from Mariejoia just to become a glorious navy!”

"Hehehe."

He immediately laughed and sat back on the chair, "If you just want to become a navy, you don't need to run away, not to mention that you got rid of a lot of trouble. Do you know that now the entire navy is because of you? I am so busy with everything that I have to do that I am constantly being spat on by Wulaoxing every day."

At this time, Sengoku was still only an admiral, and Cyborg Kong had not yet abdicated from the position of marshal.

Carlo scratched his hair helplessly and could only say, "I'm so sorry."

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

He then suddenly became serious, his eyes fixed on Carlo, and said, "I'll ask you two questions. Your answers will determine whether I want to send you back to Mariejoia."

Carlo knew he didn't have the right to choose, shrugged and said, "Okay, I'll listen."

"Why on earth did you leave Mariejoia, and why did you free all the slaves?"

Carlo was stunned when he heard this question, but finally looked directly into the crane's eyes and said, "I used to think that I would not have to bear the burden by pretending to turn a blind eye, but I was wrong. Countless tragedies happened around me, and I was Everything Marie Joyari used was stained with the blood of countless ordinary people. My turning a blind eye would only make me become more and more indifferent and numb...even becoming like them, so after realizing After this point I chose to leave.”

"As for the slaves, it's just a matter of lifting a finger. They died numbly in Mariejoia, but they still haven't given up and are given another chance. It can also let those idiots know how fragile their so-called 'supremacy' is. Once the chains are released, They just have to bear all the anger.”

"..."

He and Carlo looked at each other for a long time, as if to confirm whether this was Carlo's true inner thought, and finally said, "Okay, you have chosen a path of no return. I am curious about how far you can go with your status, so I’m not going to send you back.”

Carlo immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you so much."

But Carlo was not surprised. If Crane really wanted to send him back, he would have woken up in bed at the naval base.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me."

He suddenly changed the topic and said, "Although I am not ready to send you back, I am not ready to let you go either."

Carlo frowned in confusion, "What do you mean, you want to imprison me?"

"No, it's to protect you."

Crane said unhurriedly, "You are still too weak to gain a foothold on this sea. In order to prevent you from falling into the hands of some people with ulterior motives, you should follow me first. During this period, I Someone will be arranged to guide you in your practice for a period of time.”

"..."

Carlo was silent for a while, looked at Crane and said in surprise, "You want to train me?"

"No, not me."

He smiled and said, "Everyone knows that I don't accept apprentices. Gion is here to train you."

Carlo was stunned immediately, and the smiling face of the cute little lolita of his own age flashed in his mind.

What's going on, she's here to train me?

Gion is called Sister Crane. Could it be that Gion is actually a person with some kind of ability and is actually much older than she looks?

Thinking of this, Carlo couldn't help but ask, "Lieutenant General Tsuru, how old is Gion this year?"

He glanced at Carlo, "Oh? It's very rude to ask a girl her age."

"Because she obviously looks about the same age as me. So she is also a person with abilities, but she looks like a child, right?"

"Haha, it seems you misunderstood something."

Tsuru smiled and said, "Gion is the same age as you."

"Huh!?"

Seeing Carlo's reaction, He smiled and said, "Don't get excited yet. Gion is much better than you now and is fully qualified to be your teacher. You will know when the time comes... Besides, you have absolutely no Eligibility for rejection.”

Okay, whatever you say it is. I have defeated several CP0 captains in a row, and even fought a battle with a lieutenant general despite being injured... By the way, what happened to Yordon in the end?

Thinking of this, Carlo immediately asked, "Lieutenant General He, how is Joden?"

He glanced at Carlo at this time and said, "He's dead. I didn't expect that a kid like you could actually defeat and kill an elite lieutenant general from the Navy Headquarters head-on."

"Dead?" Carlo was stunned.

He remembered clearly that before he fell into coma, Yodon was only seriously injured, but he was about to be killed. Could it be that the reinforcements invited by Luna caught up at the end, and then solved Jotun, and finally found out that the crane was coming, and ran away before they could take her with them?

Carlo couldn't remember what happened, and he instantly figured out the possibilities.

"Yeah, it was almost smashed into meat pies."

He sighed and continued, "I noticed that Joden abandoned his battleship and sneaked away without saying hello. I followed him secretly out of curiosity, and I ran into you unexpectedly."

Carlo swallowed, "Did you only touch me?"

"Yes."

He suddenly seemed to remember something, "Speaking of which, there is a little Celestial Dragon girl. Where did she go?"

Since they can ask Xia Qi or Lei Li to save themselves, they should be safe.

After all, this matter also involves the former crew member of One Piece, Roger's deputy, Pluto Rayleigh. Carlo didn't want to reveal any more information, so he asked three questions and said, "I don't know, I thought you knew. When I met Yodon We got separated after that, alas.”

He smiled slightly, as if he understood, but didn't go into details.

It was this expression that made Carlo's head spin.

"So...were you always watching from the side when Jotun and I were fighting?"

He sighed, "Not really, I arrived at the end, and Jodun was already dead by then. After all, he was old and his legs and feet were not as nimble as when he was young... If you ask this, could it be said that there were still people at that time? Someone else?"

"Ah, no, I'm just worried whether Lieutenant General He came alone."

"Only me."

Carlo stared into Crane's eyes, and Crane stared back without any sign of weakness.

Well, Carlo finally admitted that he couldn't tell whether Crane was lying or not.

Seeing Carlo's cautious look, He thought he was worried about Joden, and said, "Actually, everyone knows that Joden has an unclear relationship with the Celestial Dragons, so his popularity in the navy is not good. . You don’t have to worry about his affairs. At least I’m not interested in holding you accountable.”

Carlo was just worried about whether He had seen Xia Qi or Lei Li. As for Yodon, he really didn't care. Didn't he just kill a vice admiral? He is a Celestial Dragon, and Celestial Dragons kill people, so can he be called wrong?

But worries are worries, Carlo would not ask her stupidly, "Okay, thank you for your understanding. But there is one more thing, how is my gold?"

Carlo had just tried it, and found that there was no controllable gold around him. Even the simple gold jewelry on his body was stripped bare.

Carlo's Jinjin Fruit is of the superhuman type and cannot generate various elements out of thin air like the natural type. Without gold, his golden fruits would be completely useless, and it would be difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

"In order to cure your injury, I spent a lot of money on medical expenses. Plus your accommodation and training expenses...the gold belongs to me."

"This, this is too dark, Lieutenant General He, at least leave some for me, a little is fine."

Carlo had long been accustomed to a life full of gold in Mariegio. Now that all the gold had been taken away from him, it was as if he had been stripped naked and thrown into the street. He felt awkward and insecure.

He immediately refused flatly and said, "No! Your ability has been exposed. There are CP spies everywhere in this world. If you don't want to be found by them, don't even think about using your ability again. At least not now."

After a pause, He continued, "You can't become a strong person by relying on fruit ability alone. Your own body is the foundation of the foundation. In the next period of time, you should study hard with Gion and hone your abilities. What a mess of physical skills.”

And indeed, as He said, without gold, his combat strength would be almost useless. However, Carlo would not admit it if he really said that his physical skills were a mess. He has been training according to the method of "Summary of the Six Naval Styles" there, and the results are quite effective. He also accepted part of Tiger's fishman karate inheritance and Hancock's Nine Snake Island inheritance.

Even Hancock, who is three years older than him, is no match for him. Tiger also said that his strength has surpassed that of most adult fishmen.

Hancock is one of the future Shichibukai, and his talent is not limited. Even though he is only thirteen years old, he is stronger than many ordinary Amazon warriors. Not to mention fishmen, who are born with ten times the strength of ordinary humans. Adult fishmen, even without training, are far superior to ordinary navy elite soldiers.

Crane probably didn't understand his own strength, thinking that he put all his energy into developing the fruit's abilities.

"Lieutenant General He, you underestimate me."

He smiled and shook his head, "Humph, you will know when the time comes..." Then he paused and continued, "We are now heading to the North Sea, and we are already far away from Mariejoia. The Tianlong people regard you and the other one as What happened to the little girl is a great shame. Your appearance and name have not been announced to the public at all, so you can just use your original name without worrying about revealing your identity. Just don’t mention the surname of the Celestial Dragon. From now on, your identity is only The garden boy was the only survivor we rescued from a shipwrecked ship, remember?

Carlo nodded.

"Very good. Now only Gion and I know your true identity on the ship. I hope you can adapt to life at sea."

After saying that, He seemed to not want to talk any more and stood up to leave, but Carlo quickly stopped her.

"Vice Admiral He... I want to know why you want to keep me here? The Navy found me, shouldn't I be sent to Mariejoia immediately?"

"Because I don't want you to die in a hospital bed without any explanation."

He turned his head and said, "That little girl's mother had endless energy in the Tianlong people, so she walked out of the room and closed the door.

Then everything seems to be explained. After she was defeated by Yorton, Luna arrived with Xia Qi or Rayleigh and solved Yorton. Then she happened to run into Crane and had to leave her behind and retreat secretly. Because He knew something about Lulu, he knew that if he was sent back, he would probably be killed by Lulu in revenge, so he secretly stayed behind. So He didn't really want to keep himself on the boat. He could hand him over after he woke up.

That's why she asked that question in the first place, and then decided whether to keep her. If her answer didn't satisfy her, she might really be sent back to Mariejoia, and then she wouldn't be able to escape if she wanted to. It's possible.

It seems that I owe Crane a big favor. Carlo sighed.

Now that he is safe, what's going on with Bai Yena? Has she followed Hancock to Nine Snake Island? What happened to that little girl Luna?

Carlo was a little worried about them, but he could only keep his worries in his heart now and wait for another opportunity to confirm in the future.

"Sorry, Boyena."

Carlo smiled helplessly and said to himself, "It seems I won't be able to come. I hope you are all well."
