One Piece Game Life

Since the person on her back had already fallen asleep, Lodis slowed down her pace, trying not to let the bumps on the mountain road disturb her and letting her rest peacefully.

When we arrived at the town, the sky was already dark, and the silvery light of stars and moon shone lightly on the world.

Walking quietly on the road, Rodis had many things on his mind.

The shops on the street have closed their doors, and the family laughter inside can only be faintly audible. The noisy insects around the town in the past have stopped for some reason, but the faint sound of the tide in the distant port seems to be mixed in. A little shouting?

"Lucy...Lucy!"

Over at the port, the hoarse voice gradually became clearer and louder. Rodis remembered that this voice should belong to Lucy's father, Hoyle Abt. Although Lucy was frail and sick since she was a child, her father had taught his sister swordsmanship a few years ago. I've met him several times.

"Eh! Rodis?! You..."

On the way from the town to the port, Lodis met this serious uncle who always had a sullen face.

In my impression, this uncle who could become his father-in-law is always taciturn and unsmiling. As the lieutenant in charge of the navy in the nearby sea area, this uncle turned out to be very busy, and it was rare to see him return to the town a few times.

However, today's Uncle Abut has no trace of the navy uniform he always wears neatly. His stained shorts and beach shorts look a bit sloppy, and his burly body of nearly two meters tall is also a bit stooped, revealing a lingering aura. There was an aura of decadence, and even the long sword Mei Xue, which he regarded as a treasure, was worn around his waist.

Seeing his anxious frown and hoarse voice, he had been wanting to find Lucy for a long time.

Blinking, Rodis threw away the thoughts that flashed in his mind.

Turning his head and seeing no movement from the sleeping little body on his back, Rodis gently interrupted what Abbot was about to say.

"Shh! Uncle, Lucy is asleep... I met her in the fields northwest of the town. Maybe she was just having fun. I hope you don't blame her."

"This...hey, forget it, it'll be fine..."

Uncle Abt, who was still about to say something, saw a complicated light flashing in his eyes when he saw Lucy sleeping soundly. Judging from his relieved look, Lucy probably won't be scolded too harshly when she wakes up...

Secretly praising the plan, Rodis turned his back slightly and was about to hand Lucy over to Abbot.

But at this moment, probably shocked by this action, the little girl twisted her eyebrows and murmured in her sleep.

"Three eyes... tiger... don't come here..."

The thick hands stretched out paused for a moment.

"Follow me to my house, Rodis... I will explain in detail what exactly happened to you later. I will check your words separately. Don't play tricks."

His stern eyes glanced up and down at him for several seconds before looking away. Uncle Abt took Lucy, who was still murmuring, and walked away in his arms.

Shrugging helplessly, Rodis said he couldn't say anything about Lucy's invisible behavior of betraying his teammates.

Near the harbor, in a larger house.

Sitting on the soft sofa, Rodis looked around: it was still as clean and tidy as a large family, just like when he first visited. However, it is obviously less popular now and a little deserted... Looking at the portrait hanging on the wall, the gentle and bright smile is still so refreshing, it is gentle and graceful that can melt the bone-chilling winter.

Yes, after Aunt Agatha died of illness last year... Uncle Abt applied for leave, returned to the town, dismissed the servants and nannies, and raised Lucy alone.

Rodis remembered that he had not started training at that time, and when he was playing with the Idiot Six in the town, he would occasionally see Uncle Abt drinking low-quality ale in the pub, always crying silently.

The surroundings still maintained the appearance of her aunt when she was alive, and Rodis deeply felt the depth of Uncle Abt's love. The disease took away his beloved wife. No wonder he is so decadent now.

My aunt Leah and Aunt Egatha were classmates who studied under the same old doctor, and they have been friends for a long time. The original intention of the playful baby kiss was that they wanted to get closer, but at this time, it turned out that It just goes away with the passing of one party.

According to her mother's speculation, Aunt Agatha may have been worrying about Lucy's strange illness and died of illness due to overwork.

Yes, Lucy has been weak and cold since she was born. She is also afraid of fire and light, as if she has some strange disease. However, many famous doctors who have tried their best to bring in have come to a strange conclusion: this is her constitution. , let it rest peacefully, and it will naturally return to normal when it reaches a certain age.

But the already weak child cannot get close to the light of the fire, so how can he not get sick? He is frail, sickly and difficult to take care of, and he is only close to his parents. Carrying a baby can be a torment for both of them.

Aunt Agatha also became seriously ill and bedridden when Lucy was three years old and her health began to improve. The child is now healthy, but the mother cannot see such a scene...

A few days ago, I heard my aunt Leah talk about Lucy when she returned to her hometown, saying that she was just like an ordinary child. It's just that this little girl has lived in seclusion since she was a child, and her parents specifically told her not to disturb her. So today, he finally met his baby kiss partner for the first time.

Thoughts were running around, Rodis came back to his senses. After sending Lucy back to her room, Uncle Abt walked down the stairs and sat across from him across the coffee table. Then, the decadent uncle spoke in a deep voice.

"Tell me what happened."

Sighing secretly, Rodis didn't hide much and told everything that happened before.

After a long time.

"The violent three-eyed devil tiger..."

After hearing these words, Abt lowered his head and pondered. Rodis was secretly suffering. He was still a child. How could an adult believe that he could drive away the Lord of the Back Mountain? Even if he became a disciple of a certain miraculous bounty hunter who had spread around the town, it would still be impossible. Such rapid progress in such a short period of time, right?

Still thinking of finding a suitable reason to fool around with this aspect, Rodis discovered that the uncle in front of him didn't seem to intend to pursue the question, but slowly touched the small book on the coffee table that Lucy regarded as a treasure. .

Rodis became curious. This little book was not given up even when Lucy was in the most dangerous situation. It must be a very valuable thing. What would be in it?

"The things recorded here are very boring..."

Abut's tone was slow, as if he was afraid to touch the beautiful but irreversible past that he had hidden away.

Rodis immediately acted like he was all ears. It was rare to have a guest in this room. What Uncle Abt needed was a listener. Of course, he was still just a kid who didn't understand anything.

"Agatha... when we first met, she was just a nurse in an unknown clinic, but she always had a smile, so gentle and cheerful... the hateful disease... ugh..."

He shook his head, as if to make himself forget the pain. Abt paused for a long time before continuing to speak.

"Agatha gave up her wish to travel around the world... I originally promised her that after getting married, I would take her to various places around the world... Unfortunately, the pirates became increasingly rampant, and Lucy's unexpected arrival..."

"She probably still had some thoughts in her heart. Regardless of whether little Lucy could understand it or not, while taking care of the little one, she was telling her dreams and drawing at the same time, leaving behind this fantasy. 's little notebook... I still remember one day she smiled and said to me that when Lucy grows up and recovers from her illness, maybe the era of great pirates has stopped. By then, the family will travel together again... "

"Look, these paintings she painted are just imaginary scenery from all over the world... How can these simple paintings be called beautiful scenery? Oh, what is there to pursue in these... Why do you insist on taking them? Leave it to Lucy... What's the benefit of traveling around the world? You contracted this disease when you were running around to find a doctor for Lucy..."

The tone of the narrative was alternately fast and slow, and the voice was also high and low. Abbot opened a small book and flipped through the pages. They were all scrawled landscape paintings, like a child's graffiti. But it was these paintings that made Rodis seem to see Aunt Agatha's gentle smile, as if she was painting on the sofa while telling her dreams to little Lucy beside her.

"Lodis, maybe you don't know, hehe, you don't understand anyway. You and Lucy originally had a joke engagement... Agatha and your aunt are very good friends, so they made this joke. However, it is just a joke after all... You are going to follow the footsteps of the wild girl Rose and go to the sea to make mischief, right? Then don't get close to Lucy. She is finally in good health. I can't let her go to sea, just for the rest of her life. Just stay in Terai. This way, I won’t lose anything again..."

"What nonsense? No! My sister and I chose to go to sea because of our father's adventure stories! There are countless magnificent legends and beautiful scenery on this sea! That's why Aunt Agatha had that dream!" It is precisely because of the dream and hope to be passed on that Auntie gave Lucy this book! You don’t help realize it, but instead decide Lucy’s life based on Aunt Egatha’s tragedy! Uncle Abt! You just think about it Escape?!”

Looking at the decadent look of the man in front of him, and the tone of voice that casually decided Lucy's fate. Lodis felt a little angry. This kind of lack of resistance to fate really made him look like a coward... The boy couldn't hold it back for a moment and stood up to refute.

As if he was surprised that a six-year-old child could make such remarks, Abt was stunned for a moment, then relaxed his body and sank into the sofa. After a while, he smiled sourly with an empty look in his eyes as if he had given up on everything.

"Haha, so what? Lucy won't object to my arrangement. Just let her stay on Terai Island in peace for the rest of her life. If she doesn't go to sea, she won't encounter danger or contract diseases. Dream, that kind It’s okay not to pursue things that are unrealistic.”

"You...hey...Uncle Abut, maybe you are still deeply in the pain of Aunt Agatha's death. However, time will erase the pain, and you will get back on your feet sooner or later. Moreover, a person's life path It’s up to you to choose. Parents should be the guides who give guidance and advice... Huh... In short, I hope you will let Lucy make her own choice."

Looking at this good old man who used to be full of a sense of justice, occasionally returning to Terai Island, and always silently helping the residents of the town, now he has become so decadent. Luodis felt a little uncomfortable. He really hated tragedy, whether it was his own or others'.

After saying his last request, Rodis stood up, bowed and left, quietly opened the door and left.

"What does this big kid know... Huh, Chris! What's the point of eavesdropping? Why are you still hiding there? Do you want to taste my sword? Forget it, let's just save little Lucy. To offset your sins, come in and drink with me!”

Lying on the sofa, he glanced out the window with narrowed eyes. After the little figure that was drifting away disappeared, Abt suddenly snorted, glanced towards the door, and shouted.

"Hey, stop yelling. I'm here. It's rare for me to treat guests so enthusiastically, but it's really unlike you... Also, your daughter was really saved by my kid, and I didn't take any action. By the way, you really plan to let Lu West……"

"What's wrong, even if you follow what that brat said, so what? Well, let's take a good look at what choice Lucy will make! There is no way my good daughter will disobey me..."

The sturdy figure turned over with a smile and walked out of the room, walked through the door and said with a smile. After a conversation, the two of them started drinking with different emotions...

On the other side, Rodis ran back to the wooden house in the back mountain with a troubled and depressed mood.

When he came back, he didn't know where Yinluo had gone, while Kuen was sitting in a daze, leaning on the wicker chair in the same position as Ge You, with a look of despair on his face, as if he had experienced something.

Feeling a little confused, feeling sick and uncomfortable, seeing his brother "resting", Rodis didn't bother him.

Closing the door gently, the boy silently walked out of the house. Within a few steps, he lay down directly on the moist grass on the shore of the lake.

Nearby, crickets were chirping loudly, and occasionally the light of fireflies flashed before my eyes. The large lake a few meters away brought cool wind, blowing through my limbs, and causing the grass to tickle my body like a child playing. Although there are dancing shadows of trees all around, the bright stars and the moon illuminate everything, making it not look weird at all.

Feeling the harmony and nature of the clear summer night, Rodis took a long breath and let out the turbid energy in his heart.

There were footsteps on the ground. It seemed that Kuen was coming. Sure enough, he had been disturbed just now.

When the footsteps stopped and there was a person lying next to him, Rodis recounted what happened today as if talking to himself.

"Kun, am I going too far by doing this? Aunt Agatha turned out to be sick because of traveling... It's normal for Uncle Abbot to make that kind of decision. It's also unreasonable to not want Lucy to follow her mother's last wish." It's just reasonable... Moreover, I shouldn't interfere too much with their family's affairs, after all, it has nothing to do with me..."

After talking about the argument with Uncle Abt, Rodis asked the brother next to him in a depressed mood. Unexpectedly, Kuen sat up directly and looked at himself, his dark and clear eyes flashing with admiration and admiration.

"You're wrong, Rodis, what you did is nothing wrong."

"I also hate Lucy's fateful future arrangement, and I hate that Uncle Abt is stuck in painful memories and can't extricate himself. But I can't give you any advice. Just like adults, there will be various reasons. I can’t comment on Uncle Abt’s idea, but you did it..."

"There is a high chance that your words will not have the slightest effect, but even if the chance is very small, if Uncle Abt can hear some part of you who is the only one who has given advice...then it may also cause a change! Let's make a paragraph Isn't it amazing that a stagnant life continues to turn around? Rodis, you did a great job!"

Rodis sat up and looked at Kuen, who had a supportive smile on his face.

"What you said seems to be true... OK! Then, let's go again tomorrow. I want to hear Lucy's own voice for sure!"

"Well, I'll accompany you!"

"Oh? What are you talking about? It seems interesting. Master, let's go and have a look."

A voice full of fun suddenly joined the conversation. The man in gray robe and white hair walked out of the depths of the jungle and asked curiously.

Hearing this, the two children had a look of helplessness on their faces and did not continue talking...

At noon the next day, the Abt family

"Lucy, choose. Follow your father's arrangements and live a peaceful life on Terai Island, or inherit your mother's wish and go to the sea to experience the danger and beauty?!"

After the three masters and apprentices did their morning training, they hurriedly visited Aibte's house.

Lucy, who was being scolded, originally breathed a sigh of relief, but found out that these guests were also here to make things difficult for her...

After some debate, neither party seemed to have considered that this was just a child over five years old, leaving the choice to the thinking girl.

"Sorry dad, I still want to see the beautiful world in mom's paintings."

Although she is young, the little girl has experienced a lot and is much more mature mentally than her peers. Holding the small book in her arms tightly, Lucy showed an apologetic expression to her father.

I can't accept my father's point of view. I can't forget my mother's last wishes and the bright smile on her face while painting.

"I'm sorry, Rodis, I don't want dad to worry, so I won't become a pirate with you."

The kid's triumphant smile froze on his face. These were indeed the words he had just used to advise. Pirates are the freest people on the sea. They can do whatever they want, whether they want to take risks or enjoy the scenery...

After hearing this, Uncle Abut's ugly face softened a little. He originally wanted to use the facts to dissuade this kid, but his daughter actually rejected his request.

Fortunately, my daughter didn't agree to the kid's nonsense. My identity as a lieutenant in the navy was still on display, so I just wanted to teach that little girl Rose to become a pirate, and let the higher-ups talk about it. Anyway, I was just returning a favor, and he was not his own child after all. But if my daughter also goes to sea to become a pirate, it will be really desperate.

"Well, um, I want to follow this said to be a very powerful master, practice for a period of time, and then join the navy! Rodis, if you go to sea to become a pirate and do evil, then I will catch you! Hehehe ."

"Ah this?!"

The girl pointed her finger at Yin Luo, but she made a cute face towards Lodis.

The two little boys opened their mouths and looked at each other in shock. Abut looked at Yinluo with doubts and distrust. The appointed teacher touched his hair with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Is this actually such a decision... Hum, this girl is a bit interesting..."
