【One Piece】Red-haired Lysia

「025」Misty Island

After docking the ship at a relatively bright place on the shore, Lysia followed Kira and Kidd to the island, followed by Vaye and the other crew members.

Everything they could see was gray, and this was just the edge of the island. Even if they resisted this strange island, the group still did not stop. After all, the supplies on the ship were not enough, and they had to go to the island to collect supplies. of.

"It gets darker as you go inside, and there's a strange smell in the air." Lesiya sniffed again, "It smells like a flower..."

"Shut up, bitch."

Lysia glared at Kidd and said nothing. At this moment, she regretted leaving Cat Brother on the boat. With Cat Brother around, she could still bother Kidd, because Kidd didn't seem to like dogs.

After walking for about half an hour, there was a strange fragrance of flowers everywhere, and they seemed to have arrived in an abandoned town.

Lysia looked sideways and saw only the words "Jin" and "Zhen" vaguely visible on a wooden plaque that had been inserted into the ground and had been split into two. The missing part in the middle did not know what it said.

"Jin? Town?" Lesiya curled her lips and looked around, it should be the name of this town.

There are broken walls scattered everywhere on the ground. Not far in front of you can vaguely see a damaged sculpture of a half-naked woman. Surrounding the sculpture are rows of small bungalows, which seem to be shops and residential areas.

The damage to the houses was not extensive. Some houses had no other problems except for air leakage from the windows. It was just that some dead trees had branches that somehow extended along the broken windows, making them look like they were wrapped.

Lysia was walking and was about to take a look inside the house when she kicked something under her feet. When she lowered her head, she saw that it was a wooden board.

Lysia knelt down and picked up the wooden board, looking at it repeatedly amid the doubtful eyes.

"Tsk, pick up everything and look at it." Kidd complained.

Shouldn't the average woman be so scared that she cries when she goes to a ghost place like this? It is indeed a monster.

"You're the monster, I'm just doing research." Lesiya glared at Kidd who accidentally said what was in his heart, and then continued to look at the board in his hand.

This should be together with the plaque with the writing on it, but the writing on it is really hard to see clearly.

What happened to this island?

There is no way that there are no people on this island at the border of the Grand Line and the New World. Everything on this island does not look like the actions of pirates, but more like a deserted island that has been silent for hundreds of years.

"Boss, are we going to spend the night here today?" one person asked, "It was afternoon when we landed on the island, and it should be almost evening now. The island doesn't seem to have darkened at all..."

Lysia thought thoughtfully for a while, and what she said was true. Although the light on the island was not good, it did not get darker at all, which was indeed strange.

"I'll stay here tonight and look for a house that can be lived in."

After hearing what Kidd said, several people dispersed.

"Kira, how long will the magnetism of this broken island last?"

"It should be five days." Kira looked at the record pointer in his hand, hoping to survive. There is always an uneasy feeling.

Kidd nodded and glanced at Lysia, who was looking around, "The few people behind have nothing to do, so come with me to find out if there is anything to eat on this island."

"Yes, boss!"

This sentence originally meant something to Lysia, but she herself didn't seem to feel it at all.

Lysia glanced at the direction Kidd was walking and rolled her eyes silently, "He just left and glared at me... What a bad-tempered redhead!"

Kira smiled helplessly. This Navy associate general was really very different from what he originally thought.

Vale scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard Lesiya say this, "Xiaoya, actually the captain is very nice."

"Waye, you didn't leave." Lesiya immediately beamed when she saw Vale, "I was just talking casually."

Valle nodded and looked at Kira beside him. After all, apart from the navy, he also thought Lesiya was a very good person.

"Leseia, let's go over there and take a look." Kira pointed to the dead woods on the other side that no one had ever been to.

"Okay, but Mr. Kira, you can just call me Xiaoya like Vale. You and Vale are indeed the only two normal people on this ship."

"Ah...hahaha..." Kira was a little embarrassed, "Then Xiaoya just call me Kira."

Lysia smiled and skipped towards the dead forest with her hands behind her back, followed by Kira and Vale.

The branches under her feet made a squeaking sound. Lesiya seemed to be in a good mood. After all, she liked adventurous things. In the past few days on Kidd's ship, she had truly experienced the life of a pirate, free and happy.

This unrestrained feeling of being separated from the navy is the life she dreams of. Although the navy also has people and things she likes, it really can't be compared with the pirates...

Kira looked at Lysia jumping up and down in front of her, and the stupid hair on her head swaying accordingly, and she felt something in her heart. It was at times like this that he realized that the Marine Vice-Admiral was just a seventeen-year-old girl.

"Kira! Waye!" Lesiya squatted down next to a dead tree and waved to the two people behind her, "Look at this."

The two of them approached and found a box buried in the ground next to the tree, with half of it exposed.

"what is this?"

"I don't know. How about I dig it out and take a look?" As she said that, Lysia was about to take action.

"Wait a minute." Kira raised her hand to stop Lysia. "It's very strange here. It's better not to get started directly. Use this." Kira gave Lysia the weapon sickle in her hand.

"It's okay, I just picked up the bones with my bare hands."

"Uh..." Kira sighed, "Then let me dig it."

Lysia said okay and moved aside.

Kira stepped forward and started digging the soil with the two weapons and scythes that had defeated countless enemies. Vaye watched this scene and slowly shed a drop of cold sweat.

This is really overkill.

So this scene is like - two grown men in their mid-twenties, squatting by the tree and playing a treasure hunt game with a seventeen-year-old girl...

The box was almost completely exposed. It was just an ordinary wooden box. Kira stretched out his hand to take it out, but the wooden box didn't move at all.

"Strange." Kira is very strong, there is no reason why he can't lift a box.

Valle took a closer look, and suddenly saw a white thing exposed in the part of the box that bordered the land, and reminded him, "Kira, what is that?"

Lysia frowned and looked at it, then suddenly stopped Kira's hand that he wanted to extend, "Kira, keep digging."

Although Kira was confused, he continued digging down. When the white patch was completely exposed, the three of them were shocked.

I saw a human skeleton buried under the wooden box, and the white thing was the hand bone! This wooden box is held tightly in the hand of this white skeleton.

"This..." Kira took a step back in disgust, and Vale was also a little at a loss.

"Is this the owner of the thigh bone you picked up outside the town?"

"No, this is a complete human skeleton."

Lysia, on the other hand, looked very interested.

"Tell me, what is it that this man will guard until his death?"

"Xiaoya..."

After finishing speaking, Lesiya ignored the reminders of Kira and Vale, reached out and took out the wooden box, and saw that the hand bones fell apart instantly as the wooden box left, and fell to the ground.

Lesea took a step back with the wooden box in her hand, studied the box for a while, and then handed it to Valle. Vale looked confused while holding the box, Lesea said aloud, "It's locked."

While Valle was tinkering with the wooden box, Lysia knelt down and looked at the broken hand bones and other skeletons that were mostly buried in the soil. She seemed to have discovered something, "Kira, Valle, The smell of this human bone is also floral, and it’s very strong.”

"Let me take a look." Vale knelt down and smelled it, then covered his nose and backed away, "Indeed, and the smell is a bit disgusting if you smell it too much."

Lysia nodded in agreement, "Indeed, but where does this floral fragrance come from? The whole island looks lifeless, there should be no animals and plants alive."

"opened!"

Kira said from the side, "Xiaoya, Vaye, come and see."

"What is what?"

Lysia moved forward to take a look excitedly. Kira swallowed and slowly opened the wooden box.

"Ah, there's nothing..." Vale scratched his head, a little confused, "Then why is he holding an empty box?"

Lysia touched her chin and saw that there seemed to be a small object in the old wooden box. She stretched out her hand and touched it, "Isn't there something? But why does it look like a branch?"

"No way? Why would he put a broken branch in the box that is so valuable? Could it be that..." Before Vaye could finish his words, he was interrupted by a scream in the distance.

"what--!"

"Run!"

"There are... there are monsters!"

The pitiful screams were particularly harsh on the dim island. Lesiya followed the sound and looked over, then realized that that direction was the group of people Kidd was looking for supplies.

Kira put away the box casually, the three of them looked at each other and hurried towards the source of the sound.

After passing through the foggy dead forest and arriving at the center of the town again, they were stunned by the sight in front of them. They saw a huge dark purple octopus's tentacles falling down, and those dilapidated unfinished buildings instantly became A ruin.

"Kira!" Kidd ran out of the fog, his dark red coat falling a little dusty, "Ahem...are you all okay?"

"It's okay, Kidd, what is this?" Kira pointed to the tentacle in the distance.

"Tsk...a monster octopus. It looks bigger than the sea king. I don't know why it is entrenched on this island." Kidd wiped the ashes on his face, turned around and stared at the still squirming big octopus. tentacle.

"The fog is getting thicker." Lysia squinted her eyes, and the scene in front of her began to become blurry. Even Kidd, who was less than ten meters away from her, couldn't see clearly.

"This monster took away four of my crew members." Kidd raised his arm, as if preparing to activate his ability, "I must defeat it today."

"Kid! Don't be impulsive!" Vale stepped forward and put his hand on Kid's shoulder. "The scent of flowers here is even stronger. I'm afraid it's not coming from this monster. Let's go back to the ship first, just in case."

"There is no such thing as chance in my dictionary." Kidd patted Valle's hand down and prepared to greet him.

As soon as Kidd took his front foot forward, Lesiya stopped him immediately, her face was very solemn. This was a rare serious moment for her.

"Captain, you haven't seen the whole thing about this octopus, have you? I have no objection if you want to die. Don't take your crew into danger. You may be able to escape unscathed, but they can't."

"We are not afraid! There is nothing to be afraid of following the boss!"

"Yes! There will be more dangers in the future. It would be too shameful to back down now!"

"You navy woman, get out of here if you're scared!"

"Shut up!" Lesiya's face hardened, and her tone brought some threats before she quieted them down. There was only the sound of octopus tentacles rubbing the ground in the air, and the pressure exerted by the overlord's domineering inadvertently revealed made Kidd even. Some are untenable.

Lysia frowned. The people who were chattering just now were not far away from her, but now she couldn't see anything. "You can't see each other anymore, right? Since we know that there is still a long way to go in the future, then Just protect your own life first."

Lysia took a deep breath and said slowly, "I will go meet this monster by myself. You go to the boat first and wait for my news. I am now your partner and I will not harm you."

Everyone was silent. As Lesiya said, they couldn't see each other's faces clearly at all. They could only rely on their voices to vaguely identify their positions. Besides…

Lesiya went to sea earlier than them. A monster that even the prosperous admiral in the new world has never seen, indeed has many unknown hidden dangers.

Kidd clenched his hands into fists, looked at the increasingly dense smoke everywhere, and turned around with determination. He originally wanted to say something to Lysia, but he had to admit that what she said made sense. Although he was not afraid of death, he did not want his crew to take risks with him.

"I will not let a woman stand in front of me." Kidd smacked his lips and said to the group of people behind him, "You all get back to the boat. No one is allowed to come without my order."

"Kid, I'll stay." Kira said, "I'll be fine. If you can't beat them, you can still retreat."

Kidd looked at Kira, nodded, and said again to the unresponsive crowd, "I want you to go back! This is an order!"

"Boss..."

"Okay, be careful." Vale responded first. After all, he is still a little worse than Kira, and he is also lagging behind here. "I will go back to the ship and wait for your news."

The others were unwilling to follow the path that Waye had taken and ran back. Although they didn't know what dangers there were on this island, there must be nothing worse than here.

Lysia watched the blurry figures of Vale and his group disappear completely before turning her head back.

Now there is heavy fog, and Kira, Kidd, and Lysia have to stand together to see each other clearly.

Seeing Kidd's face where everyone owed him eight million, Lysia put on a bad smile, poked his arm, and said, "I never thought Captain Kidd would listen to me one day."

Kidd's veins popped out. He looked at Lysia, who looked like she wanted to be beaten, and took a step back. "I might as well not look at your woman's face." Looking at it made him angry.

"Tch, Uncle Kuzan has obviously praised me for being good-looking, isn't it good-looking?"

"Kuzan? Green Pheasant?" Kidd sneered, "I lied to you, stupid pig."

Kira looked at the two people who were arguing again and shook his head helplessly, "Kid, where did you meet this monster just now? Why did it suddenly attack you?"

"The ghost knows where it came from. They just found a lot of canned monkey fish in the house over there. But before they could take it out, everyone was swept away by this big tentacle."

"Canned monkey fish?" Lesia asked aloud, "How can there be such a thing here? Judging from the appearance of this island, no one has lived there for hundreds of years."

Monkeyfish is a special fish species only found in the Grand Line. It is a small fish with a lion head and monkey ears. The meat is tender and plump, has a strong sense of satiety and is not easy to digest. One fish can save you from eating for a whole day.

The most important thing is that the shelf life of monkey fish can be as long as fifty years if it is canned, and the price is also cheap, so people who go to sea often use canned monkey fish as emergency food.

"It should have been left by the person who came to this island last time."

Before Lysia could answer, the tentacle that had stopped rose again, and this time its direction was directed towards their position.

"Quickly open!"

Kira jumped up to avoid the tentacle's attack, took out his scythe and swung it towards the tentacle, "The giant scythe spun -"

The silver sword light flashed by, and Lesiya stepped on the branch beside her with moon steps, trying to see Kira's side, but she couldn't see anything clearly.

The same goes for Kidd. He walked out from behind the blocking boulder and could hear nothing but the sound of Kira wielding his scythe to cut flesh.

"Kira, save your energy, we need to find where this monster's head is!" Lesiya shouted.

"Okay-" Kira dodged to avoid the tentacle attack and came to the bottom of the tree where Lysia was.

"This tentacle is stretching out from the town. We have to go in and have a look." Lesiya jumped down from the tree attentively, "Captain! Let's go!"

"I know, don't talk nonsense, I can hear you."
