One Piece: The Magician

Xihai, O'Hara, a very elegantly decorated restaurant.

On the silver candlesticks, several burning candles illuminated the only guests in the restaurant with their bright candlelight.

Little Robin, all dressed up, was sitting at the dining table, holding a knife and fork in his hand, staring blankly at a man with glasses opposite him, his big black eyes full of surprise.

On the opposite side of the dining table, Sherlock was slowly handling the food on the plate. The knife and fork in his hands moved briskly and steadily. Even a small inadvertent movement revealed an indescribable nobility and magnificence.Under the transparent lenses, the deep black eyes flashed slightly, and it seemed that the food on the plate was quite to his liking.

I remember that elegant and gorgeous table manners were very popular in the aristocratic circle many years ago. It couldn't be that Shylock is a descendant of a great noble or royal family.

Little Robin thought to herself, after all, this was the first time in her life that she saw someone eating so deliciously.

And

Looking at the dishes that had piled up into a mountain on the dining table, little Robin felt a drop of cold sweat on his forehead.

This is also the first time I have seen someone who can eat like this. Huh~~ Fortunately, I am not here to treat you.

After finishing the last piece of food on the plate, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin gracefully while looking at little Robin.

"Why don't you eat, Robin?" Sherlock frowned slightly: "Is the food here not to your liking?"

"No, no, no, I'm just thinking about something." Little Robin finally came back to her senses. She forked a piece of barbecue and put it into her mouth. The expression on her face suddenly froze.

It was so delicious. Little Robin, who always had a mediocre meal because of her evil-hearted aunt, ate such delicious food for the first time today. She was stunned for a long time, and then started to enjoy it.

"Don't be anxious, eat slowly. I have reserved this restaurant, no one will come to disturb your meal." Looking at the little Loli devouring her food.The inhumane Sherlock calmly pushed up his glasses.

"Well, Sherlock." Little Robin swallowed the food in his mouth, stared at the sorcerer opposite him with his big blue and black eyes, and asked again:

"Where on earth did you come from?"

Although little Robin already regards Sherlock as his best friend in his heart.But little Robin knew almost nothing about the specific information about this "best friend".

"Didn't I tell you that?" Sherlock shook the goblet in his hand, and the wine-red grape juice reflected an intoxicating light under the candlelight.

"I traveled from the future."

"" Little Robin put down the tableware in his hand, looked at Sherlock with resentful eyes, and remained silent.

"Okay, okay. Don't look at me like that, I'm really not joking."

Little Robin shrugged his nose when he heard this: "Really? Since you are from the future, then you can tell me what happened in the future."

"Well, I can't tell you this." Sherlock put down the goblet in his hand, pushed up his glasses slightly, and said with a hint:

"Because a scary big sister told me before: Anyone who reveals spoilers will have their necks broken while sleeping~~"

"What's your reason?"

Little Robin had black lines on her head. She didn't look at Sherlock and just started eating by herself.

You're really stingy. Why don't you just say it if you don't want to say it? Why are you fooling me like a child?

However, the scary big sister somehow, when Sherlock said this.Little Robin actually had a very subtle feeling in his heart.

It was as if that big sister had some special connection with her.

Looking across the dining table at the gothic loli who was busy eating with an unhappy look on her face, Sherlock's mouth curled up slightly. He was about to explain something, but his expression suddenly changed.

Mirror

The mirror fruit ability was activated, transmitting the scene outside the restaurant to his mind.Then Sherlock was shocked to find that the restaurant he had booked had been inadvertently wrapped in a thick fog.

That fog is as colorful as a rainbow

"" Sherlock's eyes narrowed slightly. He was silent for a moment, then turned to look at little Robin who was still angry.Sigh.

"Robin."

"what"

Sherlock stood up and adjusted his black trench coat: "I'll excuse you for a moment. You can eat slowly first."

"Oh, okay." Robin didn't think much about it.He nodded obediently.

Sherlock glanced at little Robin again, as if he wanted to remember the little guy's appearance deeply in his mind, and then he left without looking back, leaving Robin alone here quietly. eating.

After a while.

Suddenly, little Robin's eating movements suddenly froze, and there was an inexplicable throbbing in his heart for no reason.It was as if I had lost something important.

Sherlock

Little Robin took a deep breath, put down the tableware in her hands without saying a word, and ran quickly outside the restaurant.But when she came outside the restaurant, what caught her eye was the familiar street and the thin layer of it that was gradually dissipating.

"Dear guest, what's wrong with you?" Upon seeing this, several wealthy waiters hurriedly gathered around him, with flattering looks on their faces. It was obvious that they had been defeated by the magician's Bailey offensive.

As if seeing a life-saving straw, little Robin hurriedly stepped forward, carrying a waiter's clothes, and said anxiously: "Where is Sherlock? Have you seen him?"

"Sherlock, are you talking about the gentleman with glasses?"

The waiter recalled for a moment and replied: "There was a rainbow-colored fog inexplicably just now, and the gentleman walked into the thick fog. After a while, the fog started. It dissipated and the gentleman disappeared."

"By the way, he left a note for you." As he said that, the waiter handed over a stack of square notes.Robin quickly took it and unfolded it:

Forgive me, Robin. We will meet again, Thassarian Shylock.

"Sherlock"

Whispering this name softly, little Robin's face turned pale, and two lines of clear tears slowly flowed down.

Now, she was a human again.

The port of the neighboring village of Cocoyasi Village.

In order to expand its influence, the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce will hold very lively trading celebrations in the local area every time it goes overseas, and even has a circus touring.

Anna had also very generously "lent" a large amount of funds to Robin, so that the latter could play with the two little lolita without fear.

Robin is a very fond of children.She looked at the innocent smiles of the two little lolita, and the heart that she had been holding on to all the time because of her own experience gradually relaxed, and a shallow smile appeared on the face that was originally Gujing Bubo. Even the matter of finding a way back was temporarily forgotten by her.

Watch a circus.They ate barbecue and sold gifts. In short, Robin led little Nami and her sister Nokigao to experience almost all the delicious and fun things, which made the two little guys hooked.

Happy time always passes quickly, and soon it is approaching dusk.The sun was setting in the west, and several returning seabirds flew in the sky. Their clear calls seemed to remind people that it was time to go home.

The three of them, who were a little tired from playing, sat on the rocks on the coast, looking at the sunset on the horizon in the distance, quiet and peaceful.

Under the shining of the setting sun, the sea at this time seems to be covered with beautiful golden gauze, blown by the breeze, fluttering in the wind, as if a fairy is dancing.

"So beautiful~~~~" Little Nami and Little Nokiko exclaimed in unison.

"Yes. So beautiful." Robin held her chin in her hands, tilted her jade neck slightly, and turned her head lazily to look at the two lolita sitting next to her.

"Did you have fun today?"

"Happy, very happy." Both lolita showed big smiles.

Nami glanced at the gift bag placed beside her, her eyes twinkling: "It would be great if it could be like this every day."

"It's beautiful what you think. Big sister doesn't take us to play like this every day." Nuoqi crossed her hands and knees: "Besides, our family doesn't have that much money."

However, due to Nokigao's inadvertent words, Nami's originally bright smile slowly turned gloomy.

"Yes, Bellemere's family is very poor, and they became even poorer after they adopted us."

Little Nami lowered her head and said softly: "Nokigao, sometimes I wonder. There is no blood relationship anyway. If we were not picked up by Bellemere, but adopted by a rich person like my eldest sister, Isn’t that better?”

Hear the words.Even Robin, who was as calm as he was, was slightly startled, while Noki Gauguin directly exclaimed: "Nami, you, what are you talking about?"

"Isn't it right? If eldest sister were our mother, we wouldn't have to wear old clothes and we could be as happy as we want to be today every day. I wouldn't have to go to the bookstore to steal books."

Perhaps because she was expressing her thoughts hidden deep in her heart, Nami's voice rose in vain and her tone became excited.

"Besides, Bellemere's life will be much freer without the two of us. She can buy new clothes, eat delicious food, and do things she likes."

"Maybe maybe" when she said this, little Nami's nose felt sour, and her eyes were filled with tears.

"Maybe the meeting of our families was a mistake in itself."

Huh~~~~~ A gust of sea breeze blew by, lifting the hair of the three people with different moods.

"Nami" Nuoqi Gao Muran lowered her eyes, feeling very uncomfortable in her heart.Because although Nami's previous words were a bit willful, they were true to the core, which made her, a sister, not sure what to say.

Sighing softly, Robin was originally a woman of few words, but now she understood that she had to say something.

"Nami, do you know that I actually envy you very much? I envy you for having a good sister and an adoptive mother who loves you dearly."

The two little lolita were stunned at the same time and looked at the kind-hearted elder sister in confusion.

"Because when I was two years old, my mother left me for six years due to work reasons." Robin looked up at the sky, revealing her slender neck like a swan, and her beautiful face was full of It is the color of reminiscence.

"By the time I was eight years old and my mother came back, I had even forgotten what she looked like."

"Sister, have you met your mother?" Nuo Qigao asked loudly.

"Well, we meet." Robin paused after saying this, and countless images flashed through his mind, including towering trees burning in flames, a bearded giant frozen in ice, and a man wearing sunglasses. government agent

"However, that was also the last time we met."

Robin's tone was very calm, as if she was not telling her own story, but both little girls could hear a hint of sadness in it.

"The last time." Little Nami was stunned for a moment, then she covered her mouth in surprise, and looked at this charming woman with more and more sympathy.

"Relatives, family, maternal love, haha, these things are really too far away for me."

Nico Robin smiled bitterly and shook her head, then she reached out and rubbed Nami's smooth orange hair, and said softly: "Even if you are not related by blood, even if you live in poverty, you are already very lucky compared to me when I was a child. Isn’t it?”

"Don't wait until you lose it to appreciate it."

Wiping tears from the corners of her eyes, Nami lowered her head with a guilty look on her face and remained silent, as if she was reflecting on her previous remarks.And Nuo Qigao looked at his sister and smiled knowingly.

At this moment, a very familiar voice suddenly came from the distance.

"Nami Nokigao, why are you here?"

The two little lolita looked back and found that their adoptive mother was standing in the middle of the road not far away, while Jian, who was captured as a coolie, was standing aside with a cart of daily necessities, and the windmill on his police hat was blowing in the wind. move.

"Belmer" x2

They hurriedly ran over, threw themselves into Bellemere's arms, and hugged him tightly. Their enthusiastic look puzzled their adoptive mother.

"Okay, okay, why are you so enthusiastic today?" Touching the heads of his two precious daughters, Bellemeier took back all his original words of blame and asked doubtfully: "Didn't I tell you to look after the house? Why are you so so?" Disobedient, who was the woman sitting with you just now?"

"Ah, that big sister said she was your friend when you were in the Navy. She brought Nami and I here to find you." Nokigao turned around, only to find that Robin had disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Strange, where is the big sister?"

"Well, I just saw someone somewhere." Ajian was confused: "And your mother didn't have all her friends back then."

"Okay Ajian, let's not talk about those things for now."

Bellemeier stood up and pointed to the cart next to Ah Fitness: "It's a big harvest today. Let's have a big dinner tonight."

"Wow! Long live Bellemere" x2

"Ajian, come too, you've worked really hard today." Bellemeier said with a smile.

"Ah~~~~I'm so embarrassed, hahahaha."

Little Nami had a narrow look on her face: "Oh, Uncle Jian is so shy."

"I'm shy, I'm shy." Nuo Qigao helped.

"Ah ah ah ah, you two brats Nami, I haven't even settled the accounts with you for stealing books today." A certain police officer was already furious.

Under the sunset, there was laughter and laughter.

the other side.

It's great to have a family, but I, a woman who only brings misfortune, may never have this thing in my life.

Nico Robin, who was hiding behind the rocks not far away, closed her eyes silently as she listened to the laughter that gradually faded away.

family,

Thinking of her companions, an old sheep-headed sailboat suddenly appeared in Robin's mind. The black skull and skull flag with a straw hat on it roared in the sea breeze. In a daze, she seemed to hear it again. The weird "thunder hee hee hee" sound startled her and she quickly opened her eyes.

Then the best royal lady was surprised to find that a dense fog floated in the distance, forming a colorful shape like a rainbow.

"Is this fog here to take me back? Back to that small boat."

Robin composed himself, and then walked calmly towards the colorful mist. At the same time, a thought he had never had before arose in his mind.

Partner?

As he thought about it, the corners of Robin's mouth subconsciously curved in an elegant arc.

That smile is so sweet and beautiful.To be continued.
