One Piece: The Magician

On the calm sea, a dhow was sailing slowly.

Opening his eyes drowsily, Sherlock stood up and looked around, and found that he was lying in the boys' dormitory of the Meili. Judging from the empty beds around him, it was already late.

Strange, I woke up late today. I remember there was a party before.

Sherlock frowned slightly. He thought about it for a moment and found that he could only recall that he drank all the liquid in the wooden cup. As for what happened after that, Sherlock couldn't remember it at all.

Could it be that the cup was actually filled with wine?

Shaking his head, Sherlock stopped thinking and put on his silver-rimmed glasses on the desk, then climbed out along the ladder of the cabin and came to the deck.

"Ah Sherlock, you finally woke up"

"How are you feeling now Sherlock."

"Charlotte, you've been sleeping for almost a whole day, you can really sleep, hahaha"

When the Straw Hats on the deck saw the one who had woken up, they all put down what they were doing and hurriedly rushed to greet him.

"Well, I'm fine now." Feeling the concern from them, Sherlock felt warm in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, and he still looked calm and calm.

"You haven't eaten for almost a day. You must be very hungry." The curly-browed cook lit a cigarette and asked, "Do you want me to go make you something to eat?"

"I can't thank you enough." Sherlock bowed gracefully to express his gratitude.

"Ha, you are so meticulous about etiquette, why are you so polite~" Grinning, he turned and walked into the kitchen.

I have to say that the usually gentle Sherlock and the drunk Sherlock are two different people.

Luffy, Nami, Zoro, Chopper, and Usopp looked at each other with different expressions.They were quite surprised by the huge contrast between the sorcerer and his drunkenness.

Pushing up his glasses slightly, Sherlock looked at the strange expressions on Nami and others' faces and said doubtfully:

"Was I drunk last night?"

"Everyone nodded in unison.

"Really?" Sherlock sighed.He narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "So, did I do something when I was drunk? Now I feel something weird about my body, as if I had a fight with someone."

"Hey Sherlock. Do you really not remember anything about last night?" There was a drop of cold sweat on Nami's smooth forehead.

Such a huge bomb, if it weren't for Robin's wit, the consequences would be unimaginable, and the instigator doesn't even know about it now.

However, that's fine, it's better not to let him know about this kind of thing.Inadvertently, Sauron and others had this idea in their minds.

Except, of course, for a certain straw hat idiot

"Well, last night, Charlotte, why don't you go first?" Before the stupid captain could finish his words, Usopp and Zoro, whose expressions changed greatly, immediately covered Luffy's mouth.

"Idiot, don't talk nonsense" x2

The little reindeer walked forward, waved his little hooves and smiled: "Sherlock. Don't worry, you did nothing when you were drunk. You didn't do anything."

Obviously, Chopper, who couldn't hide his inner thoughts, was very bad at lying. His blunt explanation was actually telling Sherlock that something terrible happened last night.

Apparently, bad things would really happen to me when I was drunk, but why didn't they tell me like Anna's group?

Sherlock is not a person who likes to ask questions, especially when it comes to matters that his partners try to hide. He has never been in the habit of asking questions.

He shook his head helplessly.Sherlock looked at Nico Robin, who was sitting on a recliner nearby and reading quietly.

The charming royal sister also seemed to feel the sorcerer's gaze. She turned her head, raised the corners of her mouth gracefully, and smiled in greeting.

late at night.Everything was quiet. After a day of sailing, the Straw Hats had also fallen asleep, except for today's night watchman.

"Okay, let my wise and mighty Captain Usopp keep watch today." The long-nosed brother was wrapped in a thick blanket and sat on the observation deck on the mast, rubbing his hands.While thinking quietly:

"Nami said that as long as the clouds remain unchanged, there will be no problems with the weather. Her navigation skills are really amazing."

"Ah, it's so boring to watch the night alone."

"Hey, Usopp."

Usopp was startled by the sudden voice. He looked back with a pale face and found that the speaker was none other than Sherlock. The transparent lenses reflected white light, making it difficult for others to see clearly. Eye.

"Huh, it's you, you scared me." Usopp breathed a sigh of relief and asked doubtfully, "Why aren't you sleeping yet, Sherlock?"

Turning into the observation deck, Sherlock pushed up his glasses: "Because I slept too much during the day and I couldn't sleep. Why don't you let me keep vigil for you tonight?"

"Really? Sherlock, you are so kind." The long-nosed brother's eyes lit up, and then he patted the sorcerer on the shoulder with a serious look:

"Good Sherlock, I'll entrust you with this difficult task." With that said, Usopp climbed down the mast happily.

Sherlock sat on the observation deck and looked up at the sky. He saw that the sky was densely covered with stars, like a piece of black satin sprinkled with pearls, which was extremely beautiful.

"It's so beautiful today," Sherlock sighed softly, his eyes a little blurry.

The Meili returned to its original silence.

After a long time, there was suddenly a slight noise under the mast. Sherlock checked it with the transmission mirror, and his expression changed slightly.

how did she come

Following the intoxicating fragrance of flowers, a beautiful figure climbed up to the observation deck quickly.

"What's your expression? Why don't you want to see me? Sherlock." Nico Robin sat next to Sherlock, folding his hands on his knees and smiling.

"No, how could it be? I'm just curious about why you're still up so late." Sherlock shook his head: "After all, staying up late is the enemy of women's skin."

"Haha, then I really appreciate your concern." Robin still smiled so elegantly, looking at Sherlock with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.

"" Sherlock didn't reply. He also stared at the charming woman beside him, not knowing what he was thinking.

Under the sky full of stars.In the observation deck on the mast, a man and a woman who had their own thoughts looked at each other wordlessly, and the atmosphere was very strange.

One advantage of communication between smart people is that there is less nonsense.Sometimes just a look is worth a thousand words.

a long time.

"You know it all." Sherlock said this out of nowhere, and Robin nodded slightly in affirmation.

"Really?" Sherlock closed his eyes and shook his head: "I should have thought of it earlier. When you left Whiskey Mountain, you could tell the true meaning of Thassarian and Neferutari. You already know the An family’s tradition, right?”

Robin nodded again.

"Should I say that I am worthy of being a scholar from O'Hara? I know a lot." Sherlock smiled bitterly and took a long breath: "Now that you know everything, what else do you want to ask?"

Robin said very calmly: "I just want to be your confidant."

"The person to talk to" Sherlock frowned slightly.

"Yes, someone to talk to." Nico Robin showed a gentle smile: "After all, there are some things that are always kept in the heart and not spoken out. Over time, it will lead to heart problems."

"And whether you want to tell me or not, I already know. Don't you?"

"In exchange, I will tell you some information you want to know."

Sherlock glanced at this intellectual beauty in surprise: "Why did you suddenly become so kind? This is not like the style of a "son of the devil" like you."

"Haha." Robin did not answer, his beautiful blue and black eyes curved into two crescents.

What kind of medicine is this woman selling in her gourd? Even if she is as smart as him, she really can't figure out Nico Robin's true intention at this time.

But who is the person to talk to?

Shylock has always been the person to whom others confide, because around him, the best audience, others will always reveal their feelings involuntarily, but Shylock himself has never had anyone to confide in.

Think of this.Sherlock pushed up his glasses and said quietly:

"Thassarian is the surname of one of the twenty kings who created the world, also commonly known as the Celestial Dragon." Mentioning the Celestial Dragon.A gleam flashed in Sherlock's eyes.

"The Draconians have a very strong racial concept, and the Thassarian family is even more weird. In addition to their bloodline, they even regard silver hair as a symbol of their own clan. They have a very fanatical worship of it, and in order to maintain this Holy hair color, the Thassarian family has always engaged in same-race marriage."

"?" Robin added.

"That's right." Sherlock nodded.Explained: "Among the regular 128-color pencils, there is an extremely beautiful bright silver, named: Thassarian Silver, which is actually taken from the hair color of the Thassarian family members."

"However, there is a member of the Thassarian family who has dark hair since birth." A clear night wind blew by, and Sherlock's hair fluttered in the wind.

"Because of the color of his hair, he was despised by his fellow tribesmen in Mariejoia, and even other Celestial Dragons ostracized him."

"Over time, he couldn't bear it anymore."

"Escaped." Robin was shocked. She had only heard of slaves escaping from the Holy Land, but this was the first time she heard of a Celestial Dragon escaping.

"Even if he is ostracized by other Dracos, he is still a Draco, so the world government has no right to interfere wherever he wants to go. And the Thassarian family also has a tacit attitude towards his departure."

"He is very smart and knows that the outside world is very repulsive to the Tianlong people, so he concealed his true identity and lived an ordinary life, unlike that"

Speaking of this, a tall figure with blond hair wearing red sunglasses instantly appeared in Sherlock's mind. There was a black line on his face, as if he was recalling something chilling.

"His name is Fresnel, Thassarian Fresnel, that is, my grandfather." Sherlock smiled and said, "I have to say that my grandfather is a very unique person. Although I Without even seeing him, he was already dead.”

"Dr. Fresnel" Hearing the name of Sherlock's grandfather, Robin's beautiful face was instantly filled with astonishment: "Sherlock, your grandfather is not an archaeologist, right?" To be continued.

ps: If Sherlock’s grandfather is like Brother Ming’s father, it’s probably necessary to go here.laugh
