One Piece: Free Ronin

Early the next morning, Flo sat up from the bed, sweat dripping from her head, and found herself lying in her cabin. She breathed a sigh of relief.

Weakly, he raised his left hand and wiped the cold sweat from his head. He looked at his right arm, which had been treated casually, and lightly clenched his fist, feeling a stinging sensation.

He sighed with lingering fear: "Ah, at least he is still alive. I really trouble old man Rocks again..."

"Kid, come over and eat when you wake up, Mou hahaha"

At this time Rocks' voice came from outside the house.

Flo struggled to get off the bed, then walked out of the wooden house with empty steps and came to Rocks.

At this time, the big wild boar that he killed yesterday had been roasted whole. Looking at the big mountain of meat in his eyes, Flo couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Without even bothering to thank Rocks, Flo immediately rushed towards the barbecue with eyes wide open.

He picked up his left hand and tore off the huge hind leg of the wild boar and quickly put it into his mouth. His mouth opened wide, and soon there was only a smooth leg bone left in his hand.

After eating the entire thigh, Flo still felt dissatisfied. He pulled out the dagger inserted in his waist, and with a flash of light, the wild boar's entire body was cut into a large number of meat pieces of even thickness and suitable size.

He stuck the dagger on the wooden stake, rushed towards the pile of meat, and started eating at an extremely fast speed.

Perhaps yesterday's battle did consume too much energy, and the body was still seriously injured, so a lot of energy was needed to replenish and repair it.

One hand grabbed the piece of meat at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye and sent it to his mouth. Then it disappeared into Flo's mouth. Not even the bones were spit out...

As he continued to swallow, Flo's belly gradually became rounder. Seeing that he just had a little luck, his belly immediately deflated. Then he continued to stuff food into his mouth, and from time to time he drank a swig of water and chewed it. A few wild fruits.

If he could see himself eating like this, he would be surprised to find that he looked a bit like Rocks when he was eating.

Seeing that almost half of the pig disappeared into Flo's mouth very quickly, as the last piece of meat was swallowed into his stomach, he let out a big belch and sighed: "Ah, I'm finally alive." .”

Feel the energy flowing through your body.

Flo narrowed his eyes in enjoyment, then turned his head to look at Rocks who was sitting not far away and said: "You saved my life again, Mr. Rocks. In this case, I have always been saved by you before. I reluctantly don’t argue with you about the beating.”

"Mou hahaha, kid, I'm beating you for your own good. Without the training of my fists and feet, where did you get such thick bones?" Rocks said lazily and nonchalantly.

"Tch, if you're bored and want to pass the time by beating me, just say so..." Flo shouted angrily.

Rocks waved his hand, and then said jokingly: "Okay, let's stop talking about these useless things, Mou hahaha, kid, don't you remember how you got out of trouble yesterday?"

Flo scratched his head and said with some confusion: "Didn't you save me yesterday? I remember that when the gorilla's fist was about to hit me, I suddenly felt that time passed very slowly. I watched the fist slowly hit me. It was so close, but I couldn't do anything, and then I felt very unwilling and angry. I felt like I was about to die, so I roared at it, and finally I lost consciousness. It wasn't you who blocked the gorilla later. Did you save me with your fist? By the way, what happened to the gorilla? He wasn't killed by you, was he? I'm thinking of avenging him for almost killing me in the future!"

Listening to Flo's words, Locks thought in his heart: "Oh~ there really is no image? Mou hahaha, that's fine, that kind of power is not something that can be controlled at such a young age."

Then he said in a funny tone: "Ah, I was the one who saved you. The gorilla was scared away by me, Mou hahaha. The powerful beast inside was originally used to train you. I won't do it for you." Mou hahaha”

"Uh huh huh, that's good, I will definitely kill that damn gorilla in the future! Although it feels very strong, I will definitely be able to kill it in the future." Flo clenched his left fist hard and shouted at Rocks said.

"Mou hahaha, kid, it's good that you're not frightened. In the next few days, you can recover from your injuries. I know that your body recovers very quickly, but this time you probably injured your internal organs and your arms. , Fortunately, you attached the armed domineering energy in time, otherwise even I wouldn't be able to keep it." Then he poked Flo's injured right arm.

"Ah, it hurts, it hurts, don't poke it, you bastard"

Flo screamed in pain and moved a little further away from Rocks.

Seeing this, Rocks laughed again and said: "Mou hahaha, it's better not to move around, so as not to affect the recovery of the bones, but these days can't be wasted. Yesterday, I found that your armed domineering power is still a little bit off. Seeing and hearing the domineering power is already considered a beginner. I will teach you the next stage of practicing the seeing and hearing domineering power in the past few days. As for the armed color, Mou hahaha, kid, you haven't accumulated enough, and your physical strength is still the same. It’s a bit off, let’s talk about it later.”

"Ah, I knew you wouldn't let me go so easily" Flo shouted reluctantly.

But he thought in his heart: "Does it look like he is planning to formally teach me the practice of domineering? It seems that the old monster's recognition of me has deepened. This is good news."

He didn't pay attention to the shouts in Flo's mouth, nor did he pay attention to the momentary look of joy that flashed in his eyes.

Rocks suddenly said with great seriousness: "But before that, kid, you have to promise me something. If you agree, I will start to formally teach you how to practice. You must know that the previous ones are just training you." It's just your body and spirit, and that's just the most basic thing on the road to true strength... If you don't agree, I won't do anything. It's just that everything will continue as usual from now on, but I won't bother to train you anymore. . Mou hahaha... You are as smart as a kid. You should be able to understand me, right?"

After hearing Rocks' words, Flo was just slightly shocked, and immediately regained his composure. He changed from sitting to kneeling, bent down deeply, lowered his head to the ground and said loudly: "You have been taking care of me for so many years. , and you have saved my life twice. I don’t know how to repay such a great kindness. Even if you don’t teach me to practice, I will try my best to do what you ask me to do.”

After taking a deep look at Flo, Rocks then looked up to the sky and laughed wildly. The sound shook the sky. A violent momentum suddenly emanated from his body, and then quickly spread around. The beasts in the dense forest felt this power, They all lost consciousness and rolled their eyes and fell to the ground.

The realm formed by Rocks' aura seemed to cover the entire island, and the real material world was also affected.

The originally clear sky became groggy due to this momentum, and the entire space suddenly became stagnant. Flo's body was pressed directly to the ground by the momentum, gritting his teeth and relying on his incomparable tenacity. It was his will that prevented him from fainting like those beasts.

Feeling the extremely domineering pressure and the feeling like a weight of hundreds of kilograms coming from behind, Flo was stunned for a while and thought to himself: "Is this the true courage of Rocks? He can already bring great influence to the material world. Has such a big influence? I'm afraid that Shanks will be said to be a man who took advantage of the fruit of face in the future. Shanks can't do this, right? What kind of monster was he before? It seems that the power over him has always been It’s underestimated.”

Just as Flo gritted her teeth and held on, her mind was spinning.

Rocks suddenly stopped laughing and lost all his momentum.

Flo felt her body light up, and the dull feeling in her heart was swept away.

After laughing, Rocks stared at Flo who was raising his head and staring at him in horror and laughed and said: "Mou hahaha, in that case, little Flo, just worship me as your teacher and inherit it." My last name. What do you think?"

After listening to this, Flo without saying a word just stood up straight with one hand, and then he knelt on the ground with a thump. He bowed forward, endured the great pain, put his hands on the ground, and hit his head heavily on the ground and said loudly. : "Teacher Locks, please give me more advice in the future."

Looking at Flo's words and deeds, Locks seemed very happy and said with a smile: "Mou hahaha, Flo, get up, little kid. Since you have become my disciple, you are qualified to know my past. I know everything about you." His name is Locks D. Gibek. He was once the evil overlord of this sea. Mou Hahaha, the Whitebeard you know, the golden lion Shiji, Kaido and Charlotte Lingling were all on my ship. You may not have heard of the crew, and there are a few guys who I think are pretty good, but it doesn’t matter..."

When I heard the names Rocks just said, if I hadn't felt the impact of that level of domineering domineering before, I would have almost blurted out the sentence "You are bragging."

But even so, he still asked doubtfully: "They were all crew members on your ship? What is the name of your pirate group? There are so many powerful people, why have I never heard of it? And why? Will you stay on this island alone for nearly twenty years?"

Listening to Flo's rapid-fire questioning.

Rocks hit Flo on the head with a violent force, and immediately a big red bag appeared above his head, still smoking.

Seeing Flo holding the bag on her head with an expression on the verge of crying.

Rocks waved his hand, propped his other elbow on his thigh where he was sitting cross-legged, rested his chin, and murmured as if he was stuck in the past: "My pirate group is called the Rocks Pirates, and those monsters They were indeed crew members on my ship at that time, but at that time my pirate ship was filled with thorns and desperadoes, and they were reluctantly united by relying on my strength and interests. It is more like collaborators than crew members. Appropriate... As for why you haven't heard of my name and why I have stayed alone on this island for more than 20 years? The cause was a war. At that time, I had the ambition to rule the entire world, and I had been paying for it. Various actions... If you want to rule the world, you must destroy the World Government. To destroy the World Government, you must kill all the Dracos. What's more, I have always disliked the deformed children of the Draco... So I am in the family of the Dracos. An island called the Valley of the Gods gathered at the gathering place, and a war was launched with the purpose of annihilating the Tianlong people. However, due to the leakage of information, the Tianlong people evacuated early, and I was also ambushed. The battle lasted for three days and three nights, and the entire island They were all defeated, and finally defeated by the navy and a group of pirates...Marine Garp and the Roger Pirates, as well as a group of monster crew members who were suppressed by me to stay on the same ship... As a result, I was seriously injured and was thrown into the sea. I survived by luck. They probably all thought that I had died in the sea. The crew members all went their separate ways without me to suppress them..."

Listening dumbfounded to Rocks slowly telling his past events, Flo finally figured out why there was no news about the Rocks Pirates from the outside world...

Such an interest group composed of a group of lawless thugs is a huge threat to the world government. After finally dispersing such a huge evil force, we must remove as much traces of its existence as possible...

Looking at the tall old man sitting cross-legged in front of him with his chin in one hand.

When you think of the fact that he was once the biggest careerist in the sea, you can only say that success and failure are also ambitions, right?

Seeing Flo's expression of being thoughtful for a moment and suddenly enlightened the next.

Locks couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he is indeed a smart kid. So he said calmly: "Baby, look at you, have you guessed the reason why you haven't heard my name? Mou hahaha, yes, I was too ambitious at the beginning, and I believed too much in power. That's the kingly way... It wasn't until I was defeated by Garp and Roger that I finally realized that power alone was not enough, but it was too late. My existence was a huge threat to the world government. As long as As long as I am alive, I will be hunted endlessly, but I am tired of it, so I found this lonely island that no one cares about and live in seclusion."

Listening to Rocks' explanation, Flo couldn't help but asked curiously: "Then do you hate Garp and Roger?"

"What do you think?" Locks asked.

"I think a strong man like you wouldn't have the emotion of hatred, right?" Flo said tentatively.

"Okay, stop thinking about it, what I want you to agree to is not revenge." Rocks said in a funny way.

Flo held his chest with one hand, exhaled softly and said in a slightly exaggerated tone: "I'm scared to death, but luckily it's not revenge. So what do you want me to promise?"

"The world government wants to erase my traces, but I don't want them to get their way. Although I no longer have the ambition to dominate, but ah, how can the traces of my existence be erased so easily? My name It once resounded throughout the entire sea! So I want you to bear the names of Rocks and D in the future, so that the sea can once again remember the fear that I once dominated. Of course, it is also because you have indeed spread your reputation throughout the world. The potential of the entire sea, so I want to catch a ride, the price is that I spare no effort to teach, how about it, do you dare?" Rocks said with a smile, narrowing his eyes.

"Carrying your name on your back to invade this sea? You will be beaten to death, right? But it sounds pretty good. It will be exciting, right? Then I will be called Locks D. Flosius from now on, ah Hahaha." Flo was silent for a while, then laughed.

Seeing that Flo's expression didn't seem to be fake, Locks also smiled and said: "He is indeed a crazy kid. That's fine, Mou hahaha. Locks D. Flosius. What a good name."

Then he said in a daze: "But, there is one more thing for you to do in the future, kid. When I felt that the end was lost during the war in the Valley of the Gods, I found an opportunity to send me to my hometown not long after I was born. I entrusted my child to Roger. I think Roger will find him and take good care of him. If nothing else, he is probably 26 years old now, right? I have a life card. Oh, by the way, the life card will record the owner of the card. A piece of paper with orientation and life information. With the guidance of this card, you can know the direction of the card owner, and the changes in the card can also reflect the life status of the card owner. In the future, you will carry my life with you. When the card goes out to sea and finds my child, you can just tear off half of it and give it to him so that he can find me through this card."

Flo stared at Locks' face without blinking, and thought to himself in surprise: "There used to be two children on Roger the Pirate King's ship, right? One was Shanks, and the other was Bucky. And... Don’t tell me, you can indeed see a bit of Shanks from Rocks’ face... Shanks is his son, right? So is it no wonder that Shanks is so domineering and powerful?”

But he didn't dare to show what he was thinking on his face. Fortunately, Rocks was also in a state of confusion at this time and did not notice anything strange about Flo.

So Flo pretended to be curious and asked: "Aren't you and Roger enemies? Why would you entrust your child to him? Also, the Roger Pirates have long been disbanded and Roger is dead. What should I do?" How can you find him? What is your child's name? Does it have any obvious characteristics? The world is so big, and without enough information, it is very difficult to find someone."

Rocks waved his hand and laughed and said, "Mouhahaha, it's not so easy to tell friends and foes clearly. At least I believe that he will treat my son well. Mouhahaha, my son is called Shanks, and he inherits With his mother's red hair, you will definitely find him easily. Mou hahaha, he is a man with my bloodline, maybe his reputation has already spread across the sea. As for the last name, I asked Roger to help hide it , I wonder if Roger finally told him about my existence..."

Flo said: "That's no problem, I will do what you ask, teacher."

But he said in his heart: "Ah, is it really Shanks? Wow, this is really exciting news. Is there sympathy between enemies? Roger entrusted Estor to Garp with the same idea as Rocks before. Bar?
