One Piece: Arrival on Sky Island at the beginning

After hearing this, Freya was stunned for a moment, then shook her head hurriedly.

"No, Sister Lujiu, thank you for your concern. I am not unhappy..."

"is it?"

Lu Jiu looked at the beautiful girl in front of her, stretched out her fingers, touched little Ace's cheek, and said slowly.

"Sorry, maybe I'm too troublesome, but if it weren't for Ye Mu and you, I wouldn't have the chance to accompany little Ace to grow up, so if possible, I would like to repay you... But unfortunately, I'm just an ordinary woman, and all I can do is talk to you..."

Lujiu's words caused some hesitation on Freya's face. Perhaps it had been too long and there was no one to talk to, but she finally couldn't help but speak.

"I'm just a little confused now..."

"Confused...can you talk to me?"

Freya looked at Lujiu's concerned eyes, thought for a while, and expressed her thoughts with slightly lowered eyes.

As Freya talked, little Ace in her arms seemed to be sleepy again, and fell asleep in a daze, with drool dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"That's all. Although I also know that this is not a wrong thing, I always feel like I have changed...I am no longer the same person..."

"Is this so!"

Lujiu immediately understood the problem Freya encountered and said with a slight smile on her face.

"Actually, I've felt the same way you did..."

"Eh!!!"

Freya was stunned and looked at Lujiu with wide eyes.

"And more than once..."

Freya was even more surprised now.

"Come, sit down and I'll talk to you slowly."

As the two of them sat on the bed, Lujiu also stroked little Ace's forehead and said to Freya with her face filled with memories.

"You know? In fact, before I met Roger, I hated men."

These words surprised Freya.

Seeing this, Lujiu watched Freya explain slowly.

"Because of my appearance, I have seen too many disgusting men since I was a child. Later, after my family encountered changes, the rumors on the island made me isolate myself. I always thought that I might I will be alone for the rest of my life until I meet Roger..."

Freya had no idea that Lujiu had such a past.

However, Freya could understand from Lujiu's gentle and beautiful face.

Even she, when she was in Rogge Town, encountered many disgusting guys because of her appearance.

However, she is protected by her father and has a very strong personality!

"Then how did Mr. Roger impress Sister Lujiu..."

After hearing this, Lujiu smiled playfully and said something that surprised Freya.

"Actually, it was Roger who I actively pursued..."

Freya was a little stunned for a moment, but then she thought about it and felt it was normal.

After all, that is the Pirate King!

But at this moment, as if she knew what Freya was thinking, Lujiu shook her head.

"No...no one knew he was the Pirate King at that time, and I didn't know either. Because of the rumors, I hated the people on the island at that time, but in order to survive, I had to go out and buy things. For some daily necessities, in order to cause unnecessary trouble, I would find some strange faces, but even so, after I left, other people would tell my stories to strangers. In this way, my reputation on the island became more and more popular. Things were getting worse and worse...until I met Roger when I went out that time..."

Speaking of this, it was obviously not a pleasant experience, but Freya saw only a happy smile on Lujiu's face.

"At that time, Roger pretended to be an ordinary fisherman and made a living as a fishmonger. Because of his new appearance, I bought a few fish from him and prepared to leave, but the people around me... I couldn't wait to tell Roger my story, but when I was ashamed and angry and ready to run away, Roger beat the guy..."

Freya's eyes lit up instantly.

"I see, he is indeed the Pirate King. So, Sister Lujiu, did you fall in love with Mr. Roger at that time?"

Unexpectedly, Lujiu shook her head.

"No, I was very sensitive at that time. I thought Roger did that to attract my attention. In addition, more and more people were attracted by the excitement at that time, so I ran away, but then That afternoon, Roger came to my door. This made me even more convinced that Roger was not a good person until he told me that he was here to deliver fish."

"Send fish!?"

"Well, it turned out that I was in a hurry when I left. I paid but forgot to take the fish. So, after Roger found out where I lived, he returned the fish to me and left without saying a word. .”

"It's so romantic!"

Freya seemed to be able to imagine that scene.

Unexpectedly, Lujiu shook her head again.

"I didn't think it was romantic at the time, but I did feel that this man seemed different, but I still didn't give up my guard. However, from then on, for the sake of convenience, I usually went to him to buy fish, but we were very fond of each other. No unnecessary words were said, just buying and selling fish."

"So, sister Lujiu, when did you fall in love with Mr. Roger?"

"Three months after that day, I went to the market again, but Roger was missing. People in the market told me that because of me, Roger was ostracized by the people around him and was kicked out. There was no one there. Know where he went."

Freya also looked angry after hearing this.

"That was the most painful moment for me. Even when I was affected by those rumors, I was not that painful. I didn't want to hurt other people because of my reasons, so I chose to end my life at that time. ! But unexpectedly, I was saved by Roger. It turned out that after Roger was driven out somewhere, he bought a boat and chose to live a wandering life on the sea. Then he found me committing suicide and saved me. .”

At this moment, Lu Jiu's face was filled with a happy smile.

"At that moment, when I opened my eyes again after committing suicide and saw Roger appearing in front of me, I suddenly understood that I could no longer live without him in this life. I didn't know where I was at that time. I had the courage to confess my love to Roger, but unexpectedly, he was directly rejected by Roger. Only then did I know that his life was short. In the end, through my perseverance in pursuit, the two of us finally got together. I also knew his identity as the Pirate King, but even so, he did not want children because he understood the impact his blood would have on the world. In the end, at my request, we had Ace. ....”

Having said this, Lujiu groped little Ace's little hand and said.

"But Roger is right. My selfishness has killed many people. If Ye Mu and you hadn't appeared, this child would have been born with a huge sin. So, I really want to thank you... "

Freya shook her head hastily.

"No, it's not selfish. As a mother, there's nothing wrong with wanting a child."

"Thank you."

Lujiu had a grateful smile on her face.

"However, even though Roger and I are so in love, after the two of us got together, Roger still almost made me angry to death. That guy may be the most successful pirate in the world, but as for my husband, he is simply Unqualified fool..."

"Eh!?"

Then, Lu Jiu said what she really wanted to say.

"No matter how beautiful the love is, it cannot escape the trivial life of firewood, rice, oil and salt. Just like no matter how great the dream is, it cannot escape the down-to-earth life of ordinary life. Delicious dishes made with top-notch ingredients and ordinary dishes made with ordinary ingredients are both the same. It is an indispensable part of life...Perhaps this is what your father, Freya, said, the true meaning of life cooking..."
