One Piece: The Magician

It's night, Couric's residence. .`

"There was no external injury on his body, but his heartbeat was extremely disordered, and various organs in his body were damaged to varying degrees."

Taking off the stethoscope, Chopper looked at the unconscious sorcerer lying on the bed and said in a very heavy tone:

"Sherlock is extremely weak now and needs a good rest."

After hearing the diagnosis from the ship's doctor, the faces of the Straw Hats and Rowick became uglier, and the moods of Uncle Chestnut Head and Brother Saruyama also became heavier.

"Chopper, since he was not injured, why is he unconscious?"

Nami looked at Sherlock's bloodless face worriedly, and frowned slightly: "That can't be the same as Albana's time, mental exhaustion."

"Yes, he must have taken Insomona again this time, and it was a large dose."

Chopper nodded with a serious expression: "However, although Sherlock is unconscious and very weak now, he is not seriously ill. He just needs to take a good rest for a while."

"That's fine."

Luffy breathed a long sigh of relief, and then put a bright smile on his face again:

"When Charlotte wakes up and let him have a big meal, he will definitely recover."

"Fool"

Nami raised her hand and gave the stupid captain a shudder: "Do you think everyone is the same as you, a big loser?"

"No, Nami-san, what Luffy said this time makes sense."

Sanji raised his curly eyebrows and said in a strange tone:

"Although he is not as conspicuous as this idiot, in every sense, Sherlock is a big loser and second only to Luffy."

Sanji, the chef, definitely knows the food consumption of each person on the Meili every day. .`

""xn

After hearing what the curly-browed chef said, Nami and the others were stunned for a moment, and then they all couldn't help laughing. Even Robin, who had always been aloof, raised the corners of his mouth in an elegant arc.

For a time, the originally serious atmosphere was relieved and began to become more relaxed.

"I'm sorry. It's all my fault that I didn't take back the medicine in his hand last time."

The blue-nosed reindeer looked remorseful and said, "Otherwise, Sherlock won't do it this time either."

"There's absolutely no need for you to apologize, Chopper."

Zoro crossed his hands across his chest and said righteously: "You just gave him the medicine. But it was Sherlock himself who chose to take the medicine. He must have thought carefully before taking it."

Ahem, but in fact, a certain sister-in-law who complained about her integrity didn’t think so much about it at first.

"By the way, what kind of enemy did he meet?"

Usopp wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Sherlock is so strong that he was forced to use forbidden drugs. Who is the enemy?"

Hearing this, everyone turned to look at a certain cyanobacteria head who was carrying the magician back.

"I have never heard of that person before, but the terrifying president is not at the same level as him at all."

Recalling the darkness that seemed to be able to swallow everything up, even though Rowick was very far away, he still felt lingering fear in his heart.

“The situation was very complicated at the time.”

Then, Rowick described the previous scene in as much detail as possible. .`And after listening to Traveler Blue’s description, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became weird.

"Don Quixote Doflamingo"

Couric said in shock: "It's amazing that you can actually be related to that Shichibukai."

"Who wants to have anything to do with King Shichibukai?" x3

The timid trio immediately turned gray. After the previous incident in Alabasta, Nami and the other three had equated all the Shichibukai with the ferocious and violent Sand Crocodile.It belongs to an existence that can be invisible without being seen.

"He is also King Shichibukai"

Luffy tilted his neck in confusion: "Is he very strong?"

"Isn't this nonsense? It's not like you haven't seen it before. Being a Shichibukai is definitely not an ordinary person, just like the Sand Crocodile and Hawkeye."

Somehow, whenever he mentioned the Shichibukai, Zoro would always recall those sharp eagle-like orange eyes, and even the scar on his chest would feel a faint pain.

Don Quixote Thassarian, could it be that the "old friend" you mentioned is him?

Robin, who was sitting at the side, looked at the unconscious sorcerer, with an inexplicable divine light shining in his wonderful eyes.As smart as she is, she has already roughly guessed what happened.

"Shichibukai, navy. Powerful unknown pirate"

Sanji took out a cigarette, lit it, blew out a smoke ring, and said with a wry smile: "It's true. Although I don't think so when we usually get along, but now that I think about it carefully, this man with glasses is really mysterious."

"It's so mysterious that it's like he and we are from two different worlds."

Everyone was stunned, and then everyone except Robin and Luffy subconsciously fell into deep thought.

That seems to be the case, even though we usually get along very well.But if you think about it carefully, this kind of harmony is indeed a bit strange.

Nami and others found that it was as if a thick fog suddenly separated them from Sherlock, and the gentle and elegant man with glasses in their impression was gradually becoming blurred and unfamiliar.

And that thick layer of fog is the secret that the magician has always hidden in his heart.

"By the way, Rowick, didn't you know Sherlock five years ago?"

Nami had an idea and asked a certain cyanobacteria head: "Then do you know something about Sherlock's past?"

"In five years, you need to know that the golden female secretary next to the president has been with him for almost ten years, but she doesn't know anything about the president's previous affairs."

Rowick gave a helpless smile and continued: "But compared to five years ago, the president has changed a lot."

"Variety"

Usopp frowned slightly and said in surprise: "Has it become more edible?"

“That’s not what I mean”

Traveler Lan rolled his eyes: "I remember that his female secretary once said this to me: As if the elegance and etiquette of the aristocracy were integrated into his bones, Sherlock has been carrying him with him for some time. A cold mask, no one knows what he is thinking, and no one knows what he really wants."

"Five years ago, the president gave me the impression that he was like a cold machine that worked extremely efficiently."

"Whether he is doing business or communicating with others, he will only adopt the best method, not the method he likes. It is as if everything he does is not for himself, but simply for the sake of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce. It seems to be getting stronger.”

"but now"

Speaking of this, Rowick glanced meaningfully at a certain Straw Hat boy who was not interested in his story at all, and said softly:

"I really can't believe that the president will go out to sea and become a pirate one day, and even board a pirate ship like this. If it were placed five years ago, the president would never make such an irrational choice. ."

Hey hey hey, what happened to our ship? What’s the matter with your disdainful tone xn

Sauron and the others complained secretly with dark expressions on their faces.

However, Rowick did not notice the changes in the expressions of the people around him at all, and continued: "I think that the president can make such a decision, which means that he is willing to become your companion."

"In that case, as a companion, I think you can ask him directly if you have any questions."

Of course, whether he is willing to say it or not is another matter.This was the second half of Rowick's unsaid words.

"Hehehe, that's right. Charlotte is our companion."

The stupid captain grinned widely, and the eyes of the others also lit up, and they secretly determined that they would find a chance to question this bespectacled man who had a lot of secrets in the future.

Haha, some things can't be found out just by asking.

The son of the devil, who also concealed many things, shook his head slightly.In some ways, her status in the Straw Hats is very similar to that of the sorcerer.

They all seem to be harmonious with their partners, but in fact there is a gap.

The difference between Robin and Sherlock is that although Robin's barrier is thick, it is slowly being eliminated at a speed that she is not even aware of.

And Shylock's barrier, although as thin as a cicada's wings, is indestructible.

To be continued.

ps: ps: To be honest, it is almost impossible for a person like Sherlock to fully integrate into the funny style of Straw Hat, unless he himself becomes funny. However, I personally am really not interested in the kind of funny protagonist who acts stupid. Ah~~~~How about we make fun of it once in a while?
