[ONE PIECE] The daily life of Shura field in four eyes

Chapter26

Conversation x deadlock x loss

——You to me

It is an immortal hope and an eternal ideal.

Your existence is my treasure

--------------------------------

"What are you hiding from me?"

With these words, Sakaski ended a half-hour silence between him and Kuzan

After half a year, the two of them sat under this tree that was extremely lush in their memories.

There is a swing hanging from the side of the tree, everything from the lanyard to the base is made of excellent materials

A gust of wind blew over, and the empty swing swayed gently.

Looking at this scene, which was exactly the same as in his memory, Kuzan felt a little emotional.

No, it's not the same, there's one person missing

Sometimes I would deliberately find excuses to come to Sakaski to drink tea, and that person would either help them make tea or sit on the swing and watch them.

No matter which one it is, it is her silent companionship

That's a different kind of tenderness that belongs to Seleustin

Kuzan came back to his senses and heard Sakaski questioning himself.

In fact, when it comes to acumen, Sakaski is no worse than him and Porusalino, not to mention that the two of them have never concealed their abnormalities from him.

In fact, you already know what we are hiding, don't you?

He looked into Sakaski's sharp eyes and still didn't ask this question after all.

Kuzan just sighed slightly and stared at the swing that never welcomed back its owner.

"What are you going to do after you find her?"

He didn't look away, and asked Sakaski beside him in a tired tone.

"..."

No one answered, and for a while silence returned to this land. It seemed that the sound of cicadas could be vaguely heard.

He knew that this was actually a very difficult question to answer. He was not only asking Sakaski, but also asking himself.

I remembered her, I missed her, I found her

After that?

He suddenly envied those pirates. At least they were wanton and could do whatever they wanted. Unlike the three of them, they would always be bound by this position. The name of a general was both an honor and a shackle.

And the little girl who grew up under their protection is so special, so special that the real danger is hidden in places that are out of reach of them who are shackled, and none of the three of them can protect her.

"If the news leaks out this time, they won't let her go."

Kuzan resented Porusalino for Seleustin's death, but in fact all three of them knew that the culprit was not the quick and keen man at all. He had tried his best to protect her, but Still missing a link

The position of general paralyzed their nerves unknowingly, but they forgot that everything in this world has a price. They used this position to achieve their goals, but they forgot that there was something else they had to give up. Something is waiting for them

So that day, after all the conspiracy was revealed, the festering inside was so devastating.

"That day will never come"

Sakaski's firm voice came, but Kuzan let out a sneer.

"You obviously already know her identity, but you still say such innocent things?"

"As expected, Germa will be deposed as a member country before the next world conference. What do you think it is for?"

Vegapunk is indeed powerful. I am afraid that in his hometown, the land known as the "Land of the Future", he is also one of the best scientists. He has produced countless outstanding works in his life and is almost never surpassed by others.

But that's just almost

That man, the current leader of Germa, Vinsmoke Gaji, created a work that could surpass Vegapunk.

That work is Seleutine

Seleu can control his own blood with his consciousness. Although the ability is incomplete and has huge side effects, it is indeed an existence that Vegapunk cannot create.

Just imagine that Vegapunk is sought after by countless people and enjoys the title of "scientist who has surpassed human wisdom for 500 years", but one day he suddenly knows that he has been surpassed in a certain field. How would he feel?

What's more, that field was still the "blood factor" theory developed by him, and the man who surpassed him was Gaji who once worked with him in the same research team.

Also applying the theory of blood factors, Vegapunk and Gaji have gone in two completely different directions. One's field is more focused on devil fruits, while the other's field is more focused on the human body.

The World Government, which has already controlled Vegapunk, will naturally turn its attention to Vinsmoke Gaji, who is still out of control.

Germa, who possesses clone soldiers, is enough to make the world government covet her, not to mention Seleustin, who has extremely special abilities.

After all, unlike the rare Devil Fruit, it is a feared and desirable power that can be mass-produced.

Kuzan suddenly felt powerless. After understanding the government's plan and looking at the whole thing, he could only feel extremely tortured.

Once the World Government is made aware of Seleu's existence, things will become impossible to end.

But if Seleu returns to them, to this place full of informants of the World Government, it will only be a matter of time before he is exposed.

The three generals are directly subordinate to the world nobles and can only obey the demands of the world government.

The whole thing is an unbreakable deadlock

What's more, what if they don't obey?

Kuzan looked up at the sky, and in a daze he saw the little girl's long golden hair that day tied neatly behind her head, waving to him happily. She just gradually walked away in his sight, and [Justice] behind her The word ] is so conspicuous

But this was the last time Kuzan saw her alive. When we saw her again, we were already separated forever.

At that time, they tried to resist and take the little girl under their wings. Looking back, they realized that this idea was so naive and ridiculous.

Ruined her life alive

Sakaski clenched his fists and pursed his lips

He has never been good at words, and his interpersonal relationships are much simpler than those of Kuzan and Porusalino.

He just focused his energy on his career and stood firm for the absolute justice in his heart.

Of course, he was aware of the criticism of some of the government's practices, such as the issue of the demon-slaying order against O'Hara, which caused Kuzan and him to completely part ways.

There are indeed civilians on that island who don’t know anything, and there are indeed many ancient books and documents that are now lost.

But so what, the scholars on that island should have known the moment they started studying the historical text that it was something that was absolutely not allowed to be touched, and the subsequent research would definitely lead to O'Hara's demise.

But even so, they still did it, ignoring the disasters caused by the secrets of ancient weapons, and ignoring the hidden dangers that might subvert the existing order of the world.

They must be held accountable for their actions. For the sake of absolute justice, O'Hara's demise is inevitable.

But

Seleustin is different

The little girl he raised was different from the evil that had to be eradicated.

She has a weak and kind personality, and always obeys his requests. Sometimes Sakaski doesn't know whether he should take care of Seleu more, or whether the little girl should take care of him more.

She was so well-behaved, she would sit in the courtyard every evening waiting for her to go home.

Go home, a word that has never been mentioned before

He knew that she had a bad past and that her abilities were obtained through human experiments.

But when he actually saw the information about Seliu's past placed on his desk, a sense of guilt suddenly surged into his heart.

Yes, he has a deep sense of guilt and guilt for what happened to Seleustin

Because this era is so cruel, his own power is so small that it is impossible to shake this big tree.

What was he thinking at that time?Probably because I won't let her suffer any harm from now on.

He will protect her every step of the way like he protects his own beliefs.

Later, the little girl joined the navy and followed his footsteps. He was so proud at that time. He was so proud that his little girl embarked on the path he expected and embarked on a path that can truly be inseparable from him.

It's just that he didn't realize that danger was staring at the blond figure eagerly, never far away.

There was something Kuzan and Porusalino didn't know, and Sakaski couldn't tell them.

Seleustin died by her own hands

He still remembered that at that time, Seliu was lying in his arms with her body covered with bruises, and he could only hold her gently with trembling hands. There was no part of her body that had not been injured, so he even dared not touch her.

And his Celestine, the little blond girl he had cared for and cherished for many years

Still smiling as gently as they did when they parted, she made one last request to herself.

She begged herself to end her life

Sakaski knew what this was for, not only because of the physical pain, but also because of the collapse of faith and the hopeless future.

Like herself, she longed for justice and looked forward to justice, but she watched the word justice shatter before her eyes, turning into ashes without leaving a trace.

If this is the case, if her long-held belief can only bring this result, then it is better to die in the arms of her most longing and beloved, and be able to take another look at his face before her death. With unwillingness and unanswered love, I close my eyes forever

That navy coat seemed to have become a joke, taunting them all the time.

Interests, desires, ambitions, those darknesses eroded the heart as the little girl's body gradually became cold in his arms.

Seleustin is the indescribable warmth in his heart

But when he took her life with his own hands, he faced the darkness so personally

The softest part of his heart, the part with the body temperature of a little girl

died with her that day

And he, apart from this empty shell supported by faith, never owned anything else.

Only occasionally

Occasionally I sit under this big tree and miss that blond figure

I miss the love that I can no longer respond to

And that kiss that broke away
