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

Chapter84

Cigarette x rainy day x kiss

——This false love began in the long night

But, I will kill anyone who tries to wake me up

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

On the eighth day after Seleustin boarded the ship, the "moment" Doflamingo had been looking forward to arrived as scheduled.

Baby-5 walked out from a corner of the shadows, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and stepped closer to the golden figure on the deck.

"Hey, I just told you that something is not right with you today."

She stood behind Seleustin and asked people who were in a different state this morning than the previous few days. Her tone was not friendly, but it would not make people ignore the goodwill hidden in it.

"What? You..."

"Baby-5"

Before she could finish her lame words of concern, Selustine interrupted her words lightly.

Baby-5 held back his words, chewed on the unlit cigarette, but still crossed his arms and waited for what Seleustin would say next.

"I have something to ask you..."

Seleustin stared blankly at the sea in front of her. The smile she had always had on her delicate and beautiful face was no longer there. It was as if she had lost something, and she seemed to be watching a ridiculous tragedy with cold eyes.

Or, simply, staring at the distant sea level in a daze

The expression was hollow, but seemed to contain all the complex emotions.

Baby-5 couldn't help but frown and hesitated to speak.

"I heard that the smell of tobacco can make people sober. Is it true?"

"...Huh? Don't say stupid things. Generally speaking, it's the other way around."

Seleustin raised her head, as if she had lost all her strength, and looked at the clear sky that was gradually covered with clouds.

"Then, will people's mood improve when it rains?"

Baby-5 was baffled by her unfounded questions, which were like looking for trouble. He took two more steps forward and came to her side.

She looked impatient and was about to say something, but suddenly she met Seleustin's eyes.

Then, she froze

She knew it the day they first met. Seleustin's eyes were very beautiful and clear blue. Although Baby-5 never said it out loud, she always praised her in her heart.

Inside, there is a long sea and a clear sky that is never covered by dark clouds.

Anyway, it won’t be like this now

The intense sadness seemed to overwhelm her. Looking into those deep eyes, Baby-5 even found it difficult to breathe.

"Seleu...Sting?"

The person in front of him did not look away because of Baby-5's ugly expression. On the contrary, Seleustin turned his head and moved closer to her.

Those blue eyes were clearly facing her, but they didn't reflect anyone's shadow.

"Do you have anyone particularly important to you?"

Baby-5 felt a chill on her right arm, and Seleustin suddenly grabbed her with a cold hand.

She looked at Seleustin blankly, but found that a creepy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"What would happen to you if you lost them?"

He was obviously smiling, but there was no smile in the eyes of the man in front of him. Instead, he was like a whirlpool rolling up huge waves, trying to pull everything in the past and drown it at the bottom of the sea.

"Will you go crazy?"

Seleustin's voice sounded softly, not sharp, but as gentle as ever.

But Baby-5 felt that it was so scary

She couldn't help but take a step back. The cigarette in her mouth shook with her movements and was about to fall to the ground.

A pale palm caught the cigarette, and the owner of the hand returned to expressionless, as if the person who showed that weird smile just now was not her.

"Lighter, do you have one?"

When Baby-5 reacted, she unconsciously took out her portable lighter and handed it into Selustine's hand. Her facial expression was very stiff, and she ran away from the deck as if fleeing, without looking at Selustine again.

Selustine, who stayed where he was, faced the seemingly calm sea again, with blurred emotions in his half-lidded eyes.

After a while, when the clouds in the sky covered the sun, she took the cigarette in her mouth

Lifting the lid of the lighter, she followed her brother's example and turned the wheel on the side of the lighter with her thumb.

There was a soft sound, like a friction sound, but it did not cause any flames.

Selustine looked at the lighter and turned the wheel again. After the small spark, a cluster of flames ignited, lighting the cigarette for her.

This was her first time smoking, and the somewhat choking smell went down her throat and into her lungs, spreading the dizziness that numbed her senses throughout her body.

Breathing out a mouthful of shapeless clouds, Selustine stared blankly at the cloudy sky that was clear a second ago. The voices that had been going around in his head seemed to have stopped.

Fortunately, I didn't choke and cough, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing...

She thought so, teasing herself, but she didn't feel relaxed.

The sadness that drives people crazy still lingers in my heart and never goes away.

Did she...have become calmer because of this cigarette?

As if to seek confirmation, Seleustine held her first cigarette between her knuckles, and inhaled the misty mist as naturally as if she was breathing.

The next second, a warm and broad chest pressed against her back, taking Selustine into her arms.

She turned around and slowly spit out the tobacco-flavored cloud, watching the face of the person in front of her become blurry in an instant.

"Dover..."

Perhaps because it was soaked in smoke, her voice became a little hoarse, and it seemed to contain a fragility that could break with a single blow.

Seleustin leaned her back against the railing of the ship and looked up at the expressionless man.

Asked exactly the same question as before

"Do you have anyone particularly important to you?"

She was smiling, and that smile was so beautiful, as if the place where they were was not on the rough sea, as if the sky above them had not become gloomy and cold.

The whirlpool hidden under that beauty, the chaos that can swallow everything, is what Doflamingo has always wanted to see.

The feeling of getting what he wanted was so wonderful. He hugged her waist tightly and stared into those blue eyes.

"Yes, I have……"

Different from how he looked when they first met, Seleustin now no longer has that sharp anger that can kill everything.

But this madness that nothing can conceal is exactly the same

Doflamingo picked her up and sat Selustine on the railing. The only support was his arm around her waist.

As long as he lets go of his hand, the exquisite person in front of him will fall into the endless sea behind him and become a gem buried in the dark abyss.

But the person in his arms didn't seem to mind at all that he was only one step away from danger. Instead, he took out the cigarette again, raised his head, and looked at the increasingly gloomy sky.

"Is it"

"Then, what will happen to you if you lose them?"

This question made Doflamingo lower the curve of his mouth. Seleustine still raised her head when she asked this question, so Doflamingo could only see her snow-white and slender neck and elegant shape. clavicle

She was so fragile. In this coming darkness, all her weaknesses were displayed in front of him without reservation.

As long as Doflamingo is willing, Seleustin may die at any time

The tall man's arms around her seemed to be moving, as if he was thinking about the questions she asked, and also as if he was thinking about something that no one could guess.

"Fufufufufufu, lost?"

He reached out and put his hand on the back of her head, pulling Seleustin towards him. The tips of their noses touched each other, and their breaths were intertwined at this moment.

"I make the rules, and naturally I can only discard my things."

"With me, nothing is lost"

Be it a burden or a traitor, what you throw away is worthless.

He has never lost anything, not in the past and never will in the future

This is an unquestionable fact

Seleustine looked at Doflamingo's smile, slowly raised his arms and hooked them around his neck, turned his head and whispered in his ear.

"What if...fate must take away something?"

Unable to stop or even stop oneself, even stopping for a second will turn into a powerless pain

At that time, faced with the shackles forcibly tied to you by fate, what will you do?

Doflamingo didn't reply, but he didn't loosen his grip on her waist.

The cigarette held between her knuckles burned slowly, and the faint smell of tobacco lingered around the two of them. Perhaps, it was gradually spreading as she whispered into his ear.

The sky finally started to drizzle, and the stars fell on me, so lightly that you thought this was just another illusion.

Selustine was sitting on the fence, with the deep sea behind her, and she hugged the tall man in front of her tightly, her chin resting on his shoulder, intimate and lingering.

But in those eyes, there was no trace of charm and love, only strong sadness.

Even though it was drizzling, the cigarette was not extinguished. It just burned quietly with the silence between the two, lighting up the only light in the dark colors.

"Don't you really believe in the so-called 'fate'?"

"Seleustin"

The low voice was filled with arrogance. Doflamingo seemed to be answering the question with a smile, but Seleustin couldn't see his expression clearly.

"'Destiny' is the excuse the weak make for their own failures, and is the scapegoat for all stupid people."

She straightened up and looked at him blankly, and his voice echoed in her mind, as if she wanted to remember it for the rest of her life.

"Being taken away only shows that you are too weak."

"Weakness is the root of all evil"

Doflamingo looked directly into her eyes, as if he wanted to instill in her all his ideas and make her his disciple, and whispered to Seleustin.

"Fufurfurfurfurfur"

He laughed, and his laughter was filled with madness and disorder that could fill the whole world.

"Have you seen the scenery 'above'?"

"Seleu"

Doflamingo's voice was particularly clear in a quiet world where only the sound of rain falling to the ground could be heard. He raised her chin and looked at the raindrops falling from her brows.

As if it happened in an instant, he desperately shortened the distance between the two.

In this gloomy world

Lips pressed against each other's lips, their breaths blended together, and their body temperatures seemed to melt together.

In the rain curtain, he hugged and kissed her, even though there was the endless sea behind her, even though there was frightening madness hidden in his eyes.

The rain seemed to be falling harder, and Selustine could clearly feel the pain of the rain hitting her body.

But vaguely, the senses quickly weakened.

Be it sadness or pain, everything in heaven and earth fades away at this moment

The only thing left is the smell of tobacco that fills the lips and teeth

And this hot and crazy kiss
