Traveling through the parallel time and space of One Piece

As he said, I don't have time to think about anything else right now. The sound of water flowing in the distance sounds from all directions, and it may flow here soon. Chia Ya was fine in the past, but now I can't even learn how to paddle a dog. I have to finish playing when the water is wet, and I have to find a way to escape.

"The game you are talking about is not just drowning me, is it?"

"Haha~ You really know how to make fun of my daughter. You should have waited until I couldn't do that. It won't do me any good at all."

"Then what is the game you are talking about? Just tying me up like this is not my father's style all the time!"

"Humph~ No one is allowed to stop the students recruited by Lafdrew College. This is recognized by the entire world. Every student who graduates from there has become an indispensable existence in the world. The world government, the revolutionary army , navy, and even pirates, the best in all industries all came from there. They are undoubtedly not a double-edged sword for the world government, but the strange thing is that none of those who came out of there came from there. Remember the way back."

"So, Dad wants to use me to find the specific location of Lafdrew, and then sell it to those who want to find it. Make huge profits from it!"

"I think finding Rav Drew is as important as marrying a Celestial Dragon. So no matter how you choose, I won't lose."

"Didn't Dad just say that Rafer Drew's recruitment is irresistible? Does Dad want to be the first to disobey?"

"That's why I thought of such a wonderful game! It's a bet I made with myself."

"What bet?"

"Bet on how long you can last in this holy place that I personally built for you."

"What do you mean? I don't understand what dad said at all. Aren't you going to make a bet with me as the client?"

"Do you want to bet? Well, I'll let you participate in person. The water in this pool slowly rises over time until it reaches your neck. Don't worry, this process is very safe and will not kill my baby girl. Yes. But if there is an accident, please forgive me, my dear daughter. Haha~

This process of water filling takes exactly fifteen days, that is, from today to the fourth of next month. Since it's a bet, bet on whether the people from Lafdrew College will come on time, and bet on whether you can walk out of here. How about it? "

"What if I win?"

"If you win, I will give you 100 million Beli as study expenses for three years. Of course, if it is not enough, I will still give it to you. But if you lose, you have to follow my arrangements."

"Okay, I promise you."

After saying this, I felt like I would just do it if I didn't accept life and death. If I wasn't in such an awkward position, I might have said it with more momentum.

"If winning is just a one-time bet in exchange for three years of freedom, I will pick you up in three years. If you still want to be free at that time, become stronger and show me. If you are still like this, you might as well Until then we’ll move on to the next bet!”

"Three years?"

"What? Do you want to regret it?"

"I said I will never regret it. I will definitely become stronger to show you, and I will definitely use my strength to get my freedom. Dad will wait and see here."

"That's really exciting, hahaha~"

At the end of the conversation, the bad old man really didn't hold anything back, but he still had to go up the mountain knowing that there were tigers in the mountain. The space became calm, and the sound of water flowing became clearer. I shivered all over and looked at the dappled sunlight shining down from above. I wished that the warm sunlight could also shine on me.

My wish came true soon. The midday sun shone hotly from above, and the temperature was suitable and warm. I grabbed the chain with my hands so that she could support me better. I squinted for a while in the blink of an eye.

When I woke up, the sun was setting in the west and the temperature below was also dropping. Even though it was early summer, I could still feel the cold. Look again, the water has formed a shoal at your feet.

At night, the moon shines on the water, the stars enter the sea, and everything is silent. Only the water life has not stopped. A moment of brilliance flashes in the sky, and only the dark night knows its coming and going. I stepped on the water that had reached the top of my feet and hummed the lyrics and melody that I had long forgotten.

[Listen carefully to the call of the tide, the lost journey is too long. Standing on the reef, the misty light in your hand is the hope in the dark night~~~]

Time flies by like a flash, and a week passes by alternately between hunger and cold. Only dreams can make him feel relieved. This bad old man must have planned it. He stayed here without eating or drinking. The only way to stay full was to pack water bags. But the wounds on his feet and body became more and more serious, and the pain was like a knife every day. Even in the water prison, I could hear my moans that I was trying to hold back. There is no energy left to drink water.

In this situation, as the water level slowly rose in the following days, the physical pain became numb. Looking at the time outside through the bottom of the pool became like a trance.

"Luffy, you guys will come pick me up."

His consciousness continued to fade away, and all his strength was exhausted, leaving him hanging by the chains.

"As long as you persist, just hold on for one day and it will be fine. Luffy will definitely come to pick me up. Then I will be ~free~"

【Qianya】

"Who? Who is talking?"

【Qianya】

"who is it?"

【Qianya】

"That's enough. Someone please speak to me quickly. I can hear you."

【Qianya】

"Who are you?"

Dream? I roared and opened my eyes and stared ahead. Except for the water that I could lower my head to drink, there was nothing else. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at the sky that was about to turn white. Is it already the fifteenth day?

"I hope this situation will never be seen again for the rest of my life."

"It seems that you are very elegant, Miss Qianya."

"Who?"

There is a blurry figure standing on the sparkling water. Now I almost have no strength to even raise my head. I just look through the corner of my eyes and the reflection on the water. I think it is an acquaintance. I wonder who is coming?

"Miss Qianya doesn't need to remember who I am, I'm just here to do a small favor for Miss Qianya."

"Help me? How can you help me in this situation?"

"Of course, let Miss Qianya welcome this beautiful day with passion. The appointed day has finally arrived, and I just celebrated it in advance for Miss Qianya."

"Celebrate? Why can't I hear any joy from your tone? Are you really here to celebrate? Could it be that my inferior father is afraid of losing and sent you to stop it?"

"I really admire Miss Qianya's ability to speak harshly in this situation."

"Humph~"

"I know Miss Qianya has had a very hard time these past two months, and she can't hold on anymore. So in order to get you out early, I did something for you that you think is very good."

"I'm very interested in hearing what good things you will do for me. Just to kill this boring time."

"There is a strange guest living in Room 1137 of Kyoto Building. I inquired carefully, and guess what, he is actually Aoji who is going to pick you up to go to school. Miss Chiya, do you think it is a coincidence?"

The blurry figure still couldn't see clearly who was coming, but the red liquid dripping from the hand was so eye-catching. It dripped into the pool little by little, and quickly smudged when it met the water.

Is it blood? Whose blood? The one who's coming to pick me up? They actually killed people from the academy to stop me.

"You actually go and kill, kill innocent people. Are you devils!"

"Innocent? How could they be innocent? How could they be innocent when they thought they wanted to take Miss Qianya away? They deserved it! They all deserved to die."

"Ah~ You bastards, you'd better kill me too!"

Anger made every cell in my body tremble and boil, until my vision turned black, my throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of my mouth.

It turns out that the plots in those novels are true, and people will really vomit blood because of excessive grief and anger, but this feeling is really bad.

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and I felt a little better than before. Maybe this was what people often call the light coming back, but if the light reflected too fast, I would die in this water prison in the next second.

"Isn't this great news for Miss Qianya? You don't have to leave here, everything will be the same as before. You are still the most noble and elegant person in the Shijin family. Isn't that good?"

"No, this was never what I wanted. Even if I can't go out today, everything will not be like it never happened. I will use my own way to fight against this so-called noble and elegant life. If I have to When I’d rather die here.”

"Most of the freedom that Miss Chiya yearns for involves poverty, hunger, betrayal and death. By that time, you will hate that freedom and even regret it."

"Have you ever lived freely?"

"Complete freedom will not exist in this world. Most people are helpless."

"I can go to another place as I please. I don't have to worry too much when I speak. There are no people chasing me endlessly behind me. I don't have to worry about who will betray me in the next second. I just try my best to live in the sun. I used to Treat this kind of thing as luxury. Later, when I came here, I learned that there is another interpretation of freedom."

"Miss Qianya is saying something I don't understand again."

"You don't need to understand, because I am free to say these words. Following the will of my heart will make people happy."

"Happiness can distract people's minds and bring danger."

The mysterious man disappeared by the pool, and I watched as the blood on it condensed together and turned into tentacle-like shapes floating in the water, quickly attracting a group of carps to look for food.

"Fish feed?"

Recalling the scene, the stranger was just feeding the fish, and my eyes turned to blood. Then wasn’t it that I was so angry that I made a mistake just now and vomited blood in vain? Oh my god, I mustn’t let myself read in a daze in the future. It’s a waste of blood!

The sun has climbed above the head, and it is getting hotter and hotter. I hang my head feebly and squint as if I am not sleeping. Then a noise was heard above, and the whole courtyard suddenly boiled.

The pool above followed the operation of the mechanism and moved to the side, exposing me to the air. Being fumed by this long-lost air, my lungs felt slightly uncomfortable and I coughed. It took me a long time to adapt to the fresh air.

"Hey~ My lovely daughter, look who's coming to pick you up?"

The sunlight was very strong, and I tried to hold back my dizzy head to look. In the sunshine, a tall man with small black eyes and a casual gown looked at me expressionlessly.

"Is this Shijin Chiya? I'm Kuzan, the director of the admissions department at Lafdrew College. I'm worried about Miss Chiya's special status, so the college specially asked me to pick up Miss Chiya. Can I leave now?"

Illusion? Last time we met, was this person so serious? But it didn’t seem to be this name last time. Could it be that they were twins?

"Of course Qianya can leave, but~"

"But what?"

"But I have a bet with my daughter. If it's not completed today, I'm afraid Director Kuzan's visit will be in vain."

"Bet? You rich people really know how to play."

"My good daughter, the fifteen-day period has expired. The person to pick you up is here. I said that as long as you walk out, I will give you three years of freedom. Then let's start!"

A strong suction force sounded in the wall of the water prison. The water up to the neck suddenly dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, the water reached the feet.

【Click~】

After a crisp sound, the iron chains that trapped my hands were broken. I fell heavily to the ground without any support. I looked at the ladder slowly descending in the distance, but my body could not move at all.

The feet that could not be felt at all and the hands that were numb, the whole body looked like it was in tatters and might fall apart if the wind blew. I looked helplessly at the ladder in the distance, maybe I would have to lie down like this forever.

The defeat was too complete. The hope was clearly in front of me, and the freedom that could be achieved with just one run has now turned into darkness. Endless darkness!

"Chiya, Luffy asked me to bring you something, just lie there quietly and listen!"

"Luffy?"

"Luffy said that as soon as you arrive, there will be a super luxurious banquet to celebrate your joining. You must come!"

"Luffy-kun?"
