I'm a pirate in Tokyo

Wu Sheng was already three years old in his previous life.

When men reach the age of 28 or 29, they may have a clear understanding of why life is a marathon sailing against the current.

It's really too easy to get along. Wanting to keep moving forward is the real problem in life. The environment is constantly changing, the world is constantly developing, you are standing still, and you are still in your third year. Even effective learning is difficult. It turned into a luxurious dream.

People keep buying books, courses, and watching knowledge sharing live broadcasts, as if they can gain the same knowledge and wisdom as long as they pay money. Wu Sheng tried and worked hard for that illusory self-satisfaction, but in the end, he still achieved nothing in his tired life.

That's right, life may not be a marathon. As long as you give up the unattainable dream, as long as you give up moving forward, as long as you give up thinking, everything will become easy.

Maybe he gave up, maybe he didn't.

Now time flies and time and space change.

He gained youth, a chance to start over again, strength he had never imagined before, and several incredible friends.

But he also dreamed back to the world of three men in the middle of the night, the busy 996 life, the crowded commute to and from work, the warm and elegant apartment rental, a set of high-end stereos, beautiful bookshelves, and soft floor heating. Lights, soft jazz playing on the speakers, sinking into the sofa, reading a book under the soft light, with a glass of whiskey in hand, enjoying life.

But deep down in his heart, he was still afraid of something.

Maybe it's the unchanging life, maybe the loneliness with nowhere to talk, maybe it's the world that can't be changed... Maybe, there are many possibilities, but there is never one possibility, it is the fear of death.

Yes, he was never afraid of death, he was only afraid of a meaningless death.

Therefore, if he could protect Sanji and Usopp from escaping today, even if he died, he would not regret it, because he knew that his death was valuable.

But at the last moment, he seemed to have failed, and he seemed to be still alive.

He woke up from the darkness, feeling his bound hands and feet and the cold air around him. Elige and Ma Chao feebly responded to his call in their hearts. They had been helping him resist the cold, so they couldn't get good treatment. recover.

The surrounding environment was dim, waiting for him to light a fire to observe the surrounding environment.

"Snapped!"

It seemed like a light was turned on somewhere, and the whole space became very bright.

This was a huge room like a medieval shipwreck, with dilapidated furniture and wooden walls stained with mold like blue seaweed. He was tied and hung in the center of the room by an unknown silk object.

On his left and right sides were two ice crystals floating in the air. Inside the ice crystals were Sanji and Usopp, but Wu Sheng was not sure whether they were alive or not.

The only thing he was sure of was that the two of them seemed to have awakened the will to resist.

Seeing the two of them dressed in strange clothes, he wanted to laugh, but couldn't. He shook his head to wake himself up from his drowsy state.

How did he get here?

"Is there anyone there? Hello!" Wu Sheng kicked his feet hard, but it had no effect except shaking himself.

So he kept shouting, hoping that the person he caught would hear him, whether it was to communicate with him or give him a good time.

There's no point in hanging it like this anyway.

After 30 minutes, no one answered.

So he asked Eligo not to help him resist the cold, but to work hard to restore his soul power first, and then see if he could burn away the restraints on his body with fire.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk..." After the soul power was removed, the cold air seeped into his body from his disheveled collar, neck and cuffs, making it sticky and cold.

Really cold.

He thought of the first time in October when he was young that he went from the demon capital to the capital, the inexperienced trip to the north in late autumn wearing short-sleeved shirts.

In just 15 minutes, he was already unconscious from the cold. At this time, Eliger could not recover much soul power. He no longer accumulated power, but used his remaining strength to try to burn away the restraints on his body.

Only a few small but condensed flames were seen slipping out of his hand, gushing out through the gaps of unknown silk restraints, burning softly but tenaciously.

But, nothing works.

After burning for a while, he changed places, then another place, and finally to a sling on the back of his neck.

Useless, useless, still useless.

"Hahaha, these are the toughest hair and hair on the back of my neck. How can this small flame burn it bad?" A chuckle sounded from his heart.

Very good! Wu Sheng recognized the voice and celebrated loudly in his heart.

"Oh? Are you so happy that I caught you?"

"You must have a purpose for bringing me back, right? As long as there is a purpose, we can communicate." Wu Sheng exerted force on his waist and kept swinging the rope. There was no Qilin in front of him.

"Hahaha, smart little guy..." As the voice sounded, the restraints on him automatically dissipated.

Wu Sheng gently landed on one knee, twisted his neck, stretched his waist, legs and hands, and used flames to dry his inner clothes. While easing his bad state, he slowly observed the surrounding environment.

Behind him is a huge door, and Qilin is walking in that way. Behind him is a huge unknown beast 20 meters long floating in the air. The beast's fur is covered with frost, and its back is facing him. For a moment, I couldn't see clearly what it was.

So he turned his attention to Qilin again, "My two partners are still alive?" He pointed at Sanji and Usopp.

"Well, alive." Qilin placed the huge beast on the red wooden floor, crossed Wu Sheng, walked to an open space behind him, bent his limbs, and lay down diagonally on the ground.

"Then..." Wu Sheng was trying to solve the problem with his words.

"Let them go?" Qilin's voice took over his words.

"Well..." He didn't know whether this Qilin, who didn't speak from the beginning to the end and talked to him telepathically, could sense his thoughts.

But he had no better way, so he had no choice but to change the subject and continue: "Then, let's talk about why we don't kill me or deal with me like they did."

"Have you seen the ingredients at the back?" Qilin lowered his head and lay down in a more relaxed posture.

"Yeah." What do you mean?

"Help me bake it. I like hot food. You will be my cook from now on." A simple sentence contains a huge amount of information. It first assigned the current task, then explained why he did not kill him, and then pointed out his future.

"Uh?" Wu Sheng was confused. He thought he had some other value, such as a time traveler, or Eligo's criminal power.

Didn't you expect that people just fell in love with his ferocious firepower?

He was confused, and suddenly, the white frost on the giant beast's body turned into light, and then gradually dissipated in the air. As the white frost dissipated, the giant beast suddenly moved, slowly stood up, shook the cold air on its body, and seemed to After smelling his breath, the giant turned around and roared loudly at him!

"Moo!"

This time Wu Sheng saw clearly, it turned out to be a long-tusked elephant with red hair!

At this time, his body had not recovered from the excessive force. Amidst the huge roar, his legs weakened and he was about to kneel down.

"Huh!" A cold snort sounded from the void.

Wu Sheng's legs stiffened, but he managed to hold his body that was about to fall to his knees.

The giant elephant also froze, stopped demonstrating and roaring, looked sideways, and found Qilin lying next to it. It seemed to recall how it got here, and immediately lowered its head and knelt down, prostrate on the ground, and whined. more than.

It was hard for Wu Sheng to imagine how an elephant with a body length of more than 20 meters could kneel down, but this funny and terrifying scene unfolded before his eyes, which was enough for him to understand that he could subdue a giant beast with just a cold snort. Qilin, what a monster.

Wu Sheng's mind went blank. Suddenly, his tiger-headed golden gun flew towards him and pierced the wooden floor in front of him. Qilin's lazy voice sounded in his heart again: "Go ahead, use that little trick of yours. It kills."

"Me?" Wu Sheng pulled out his spear, looked at Qilin bewildered, and pointed at his nose.

"Hurry up! I'm hungry." Qilin shouted dissatisfied, "It needs to be roasted just right from the inside out, 5% done, do you understand?"

"...I don't know how to grill? The most I can do is cook noodles!" Wu Sheng felt aggrieved, why did he let him grill?

But they didn't know that he used [Fire Dragon Red] and [Yin Wu Tu] twice in a combo. The spear was extremely hot, and the heat wave and temperature it brought were just right to roast a wild boar and a Tyrannosaurus rex, just like a unicorn. taste.

Of course, Qilin will actually find it delicious, not only because it is roasted in flames, but also because when Wu Sheng and the others kill the monsters in this palace, they will purify all the negative consciousness energy in them and return them to the ingredients themselves. pure taste. If Qilin killed it by himself, the negative consciousness would still remain on the corpse, but it turned out that he had no choice but to endure the discomfort and eat it together.

"It's the move you use to kill a pig or a big lizard. Do it to it once. Hurry up!" Seeing his confused look, Qilin felt anxious and stood up angrily: "Wasn't it cool just now? Are you smart? Why did you suddenly become a fool?"

He was also greedy. The Tyrannosaurus Rex had just eaten a few mouthfuls when it was burned to char by Wu Sheng's fire. The meal of meat was not finished, and now he is hungry!

"But I haven't recovered my strength yet." Wu Sheng said helplessly, boss, he can't use this move with his current soul power...

"You! Ah! A rookie is a rookie!" Qilin was so angry that he walked back and forth with all four hooves on the ground. Layers of ice breath overflowed from his body, causing the temperature of the entire space to drop. But he also took Wu Sheng had no choice.

It's like "you ran to the barbecue stall in the middle of the night because you were so hungry. There were all kinds of meat skewers for you to choose from, but the boss told you that the charcoal fire was finished and the boy was going to get it, but you had to wait for half an hour. Although you were annoyed, you came. , wait" is exactly the same mood.

"I..." Wu Sheng was silent. If you hadn't tied me up and kept consuming my soul power, would I be like this now?

The giant elephant next to it was still lying on the ground silently, as if it was not the one who was about to die.

For a moment, the scene was silent, frozen, embarrassed, and helpless.

Wu Sheng scratched his head, fearing that Qilin would freeze him to relieve his anger and force him to survive: "How about we chat first?"
