"One Piece" ADAMAS

Arya, whose brain was burned to a pulp, was lying in the hospital in Windmill Village. She had had a high fever for several days.

Since she saved Ace with her word spirit, she has obviously felt that her body has become a lot worse, as if part of her vitality has been drained away. She has been suffering from minor illnesses in the past few years, but this time the illness is serious. Xiangxiang is a bit scary.

"Arya, do you want to eat meat? You can get better quickly if you eat meat." Luffy poked Arya with a meat bone.

If Arya could get up now, she would definitely punch Luffy to make him feel her pain, but it was a pity that she was now tortured by high fever and could not move.

"Luffy, stop making trouble." Ace frowned and pulled Luffy away. He reached out and touched Arya's forehead. The situation was not good, and the temperature was still rising.

"Yes, Arya must be feeling very uncomfortable now. Just let her have a good rest." Maginot walked into the ward with the village chief.

Luffy clutched the brim of his straw hat tightly, his voice trembling: "Arya, are you going to die?"

Arya, who had a splitting headache, felt her headache getting worse. She sighed and reached out to hold Luffy's hand: "Don't curse me, I just have a little cold. Just let me sleep quietly for a few days and it will be fine. "

"Really? Wuwuwuwu" Luffy wiped his tears, "Arya, you must get better soon!"

"Didn't I tell you to be quiet?" Ace punched Luffy on the head.

The two brothers immediately started fighting.

"You two! This is the ward! Let's go out and cause trouble!" The village chief's cane also joined the melee.

"village head"

Destroy it, hurry up, I'm tired.

Arya cursed inwardly, then passed out completely in the heat.

By the time she woke up a little, she didn't know how late at night it was. She vaguely felt someone beside the bed, thinking it was Luffy sneaking over again, so Arya stretched out her hand.

"Are you awake?" Ace's voice was filled with joy.

It was actually Ace, and Arya was so frightened that she regained consciousness. After Ace discovered that she had the side effects of using the word spirit, the relationship between the two of them has always been very delicate. They usually can't be alone unless they are alone. Now that Ace was actually guarding her bedside, Arya's first reaction was that she might be dying.

"Are you burned out?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Ace came closer and touched her forehead. It was still very hot.

"You..." Arya was choked after saying a word, her throat seemed to be on fire.

Ace immediately gave her a glass of water thoughtfully.

Arya regained her composure and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why are you here?"

"Come to say goodbye to you." Ace couldn't say that he was here every day.

Arya's eyes widened, her mind still not clear, and she blurted out: "I think I can save it again..."

"What are you thinking about? Are you really burned out?" Ace threw the water-soaked towel on her forehead.

"Hiss..." Arya shivered from the cold, "Then what do you want to say goodbye to?"

"Old man Garp will come to pick you up tomorrow to see a doctor."

"why?"

"You've had a fever for several days. The doctors here couldn't find the cause, so the village chief called Mr. Garp."

Listening to Ace's ramble, Arya felt sleepy again. The high fever persisted for a long time, and she could feel that her body was on the verge of collapse. She didn't know if she could survive this time. In this way, although she was unwilling to do so, she did not feel scared. After all, she had been mentally prepared when she used the word spirit. However, there was one thing she was worried about about Ace.

So when her consciousness was blurred again, Arya whispered: "Ace, now you have half of my life in you, you must not hate it..."

Ace was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "You guy... you are so willful..."

The cold night wind blew in, and Arya unconsciously shrank into the quilt. Ace stood up and closed the window. He looked back at Arya's red face. After thinking for a moment, he leaned over and kissed Arya's forehead: "Magino said kissing the forehead means blessing, so you must get better." ah."

Garp has a headache because of Vegapunk's request.

Vegapunk didn't know where he learned about Arya's identity as a spiritual master, so he came to him every day on the pretext of increasing the combat power of the navy, asking him to bring Arya back to participate in research.

Although Arya's identity has been exposed before, in the past few years, due to the overt and covert handling by him, Kuzan and Sengoku, no one should know about it. How could Vegapunk suddenly know about it?

Garp was puzzled because he was afraid of Vegapunk doing human experiments, so he didn't want to take Arya back at first. However, the mayor of Windmill Village called and said that Arya was sick and very seriously ill. When Garp heard this, he ignored the troublesome Begapunk and immediately decided to rush to the East China Sea to pick her up.

Granny, who was passing by to hand over documents, saw Garp in a hurry and couldn't help but express concern: "Lieutenant General Garp, do you have another urgent mission?"

"That little one is sick. I heard that the illness is serious, so I plan to pick her up and take a look." Garp knew that Granny and Arya were close, so he didn't hide it.

"So serious!?" Granny became anxious upon hearing this.

"The specific situation is not clear yet. We will wait and see until we receive someone."

"Does General Kuzan Qingji know about this?"

"That kid seems to be still on duty. When he comes back, please go and notify him." Garp waved his hand and boarded the ship and set sail without waiting for Granny's reply.

"It's true, Lieutenant General Garp, I am no longer Kuzan's adjutant." Granny sighed and went around to Kuzan's office.

After being promoted to general, Kuzan's office was moved to the top floors. Granny had complained about having to climb stairs every day, but now that she was transferred to the archives department and resumed this path, she still felt nostalgic.

Although Karp said that Kuzan might still be on duty in the field, based on Granny's understanding of him, it was very likely that this man was hiding to catch up on his sleep.

She knocked on the door tentatively, and as expected, there was a rustling sound coming from inside. Granny opened the door with ease and found Kuzan wearing an eyepatch behind the desk.

"General Aoki Pheasant, you started to be lazy early in the morning again." Granny said helplessly, "Please take pity on your new little adjutant."

"Granny?" Kuzan pulled off the blindfold and showed a surprised look, "Why are you here? What happened?"

"I just met Lieutenant General Garp. He plans to pick up Arya and take her back to Malinfando."

"Why so suddenly?"

"It's said that Arya is sick. It's quite serious."

Although Kuzan has not visited Arya for some reasons in the past few years, he would ask Garp every month to inquire about Arya's current situation, knowing that Arya has been suffering from many illnesses in recent years. , but I didn’t expect it to be so serious this time.

"Has Mr. Karp sailed yet?" Kuzan suddenly stood up.

"They've been gone for a while." Granny knew what he wanted to do, so she comforted her, "If the warship sails, it won't take long to come back. You'd better wait for them in Marineland."

Since Mr. Karp went to pick him up in person, he shouldn't be so worried, but

Kuzan looked at the newly delivered information on his desk and felt a little anxious.

Granny followed his gaze and asked, "How's the investigation going, that mole?"

"He wiped out the traces before he could. This person's hidden identity is deeper than I thought. He might already be at the level of a lieutenant general." Kuzan said with a serious expression.

"Is this impossible?" Granny felt a little scared.

"All things are possible, not all naval world governments are just"

"General!" Granny looked around warily.

"Ah la la la, I made a mistake. I'm sorry for scaring you." Kuzan returned to his usual lazy look in a second.

Granny knew that Kuzan had always been skeptical of the World Government. Taking Arya's childhood accident as an opportunity, Kuzan had been secretly investigating the interior of the Navy and the World Government over the years. The more he learned about certain things, the more Disappointment with world government.

"I'd better go there." Kuzan shook his suit jacket.

"Aren't you worried about Lieutenant General Garp?" Granny was a little surprised.

"Actually, I have handled several attempted assassination cases in the past few years." Kuzan said with a cold face, "The targets were all Donghai Windmill Village."

"Where Arya is staying?"

"To be precise, it's the place where Mr. Garp claimed Arya was in the navy, so I suspect that Arya saw the face of the navy mole when Arya was kidnapped."

"But Arya doesn't remember that."

"But the other party probably doesn't want to leave a time bomb behind."

"So you think the mole will do something this time?"

"If it were me, I wouldn't miss this opportunity." Kuzanti slipped off his beloved bicycle.

"Even so, Lieutenant General Garp is here."

"Don't be afraid of , but be afraid of just in case."

Arya is a little confused about the current situation. Who is this person holding a knife to chop at her?

Although the high fever caused her to lose most of her thinking ability, the muscle memory of years of training allowed her to directly pick up the medical tray on the bedside and accurately block the knife.

"Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?" Arya gasped, but her eyes were very sharp.

"I can only blame you for seeing things you shouldn't have seen." The killer whistled, and more killers flashed into the room.

Arya didn't have time to think deeply about the killer's words. Looking at the number of killers in front of her, she had an ominous premonition: "What did you do to Grandpa Garp?"

"Don't be nervous, we just led him to another pirate ship. We still know ourselves when facing naval heroes." The leading killer sneered.

Is it really time to say goodbye? I thought I could save it again! Really annoying!

In the end, Arya threw the things in her hands in retaliation. The leading killer obviously didn't expect Arya to break the jar so much, and he didn't even avoid it for a moment.

The killer was so angry that he waved his hands and all the killers raised their weapons, and then the next second they were frozen in place by a gust of cold wind.

"iceage!"

After not seeing this move for many years, Arya felt that someone's cold air was even more frightening, but at least her life could be saved. Arya felt relieved and immediately fell down.

"Ah la la, did you push Mr. Garp away just to bully a sick little girl?" Kuzan picked up Arya and stared at the half-frozen killer with stern eyes.

Arya looked up at Kuzan with difficulty. It seemed that the life of the admiral was quite good. The appearance of the man in front of her was even a little younger than a few years ago, but Arya was very happy about this man. The messy cauliflower head hasn't changed yet, it's a familiar feeling.

"Arya, you have grown up." Kuzan rubbed Arya's head and looked at her carefully.

Although the teenage girl is still very young, she has already begun to show her stunning beauty. The sickly blush on her cheeks makes her even more frail, which makes me feel pity for her.

Kuzan was glad that Arya didn't look like Roger. It seemed that Roger's wife should be a beauty.

The killers were indeed professionals. Even though they were half-frozen by Kuzan, they still did not give up on their mission. Their goal was clear and they knew the admiral's strength, so they only launched a fleeting attack on Arya.

"It seems that I have been underestimated." Kuzan smiled, but his eyes became colder. For just a moment, the room was frozen.

"Cough cough cough" The cold air on Kuzan's body made Arya cough non-stop.

Kuzan quickly collected the fruit power and put the coat of justice on her body.

But Arya still couldn't stop coughing, until she felt a sweetness in her throat and completely lost consciousness.

"Doctor, why is her temperature still rising?" Kuzan touched Arya's forehead. The temperature was so high that it could even melt his ice.

"Mr. General, we haven't found the cause of the patient's illness yet, so we can't use targeted medicine... Does the patient have any major medical history?" Facing the anxious and aura-filled General, the doctor was already frightened. Breaking out in a cold sweat.

In Kuzan's memory, Arya has been in poor health since birth, but under his careful care, she has grown up healthily. Except for the drug incident when she was six years old, there should be no other major accidents. right.

Everyone who could not find the cause of the disease saw that Arya was seriously ill and helpless, and their anxiety was suffocating.

"I know why she has a high fever." Vegapunk suddenly appeared at the door of the ward. He had been blocked by Garp from seeing Arya before. Now Garp was worried about Arya's condition and let him catch him due to his negligence. Here comes the chance.

"what?"

"Do you know the concept of vitality?" Before everyone could respond, Vegapunk answered by himself, "The vitality is similar to what you have known before. In fact, a person's vitality is destined to reach its peak from birth, although it can also be cultivated the day after tomorrow. Improve it. Some people's vitality is terrifyingly strong, and some people's vitality is relatively small, but it will never be lower than a benchmark. However, the vitality of this spiritual master is more than half lower than the benchmark, which is very unusual. , so doctors can’t find the cause.”

"Why is this happening? Is it because of the damage received while in the mother's body?" Garp guessed. After all, Arya and Ace stayed in the mother's body together for 20 months, and the impact on the body was still considerable.

"I think that's probably not the reason." Vegapunk pushed up his glasses, "I heard that spiritual masters are called messengers of gods. They are a clan that conveys divine will for gods. Therefore, they have the ability to change reality and control all things. But the body As a messenger of God, Master Yan has a prohibition against affecting other people's lives. If he touches it, he will suffer backlash."

"You mean Arya is good at using words and spirits to control the life and death of others, so she paid the price of losing her life force?"

"Although there is no evidence, this is indeed the most reasonable explanation." Vegapunk nodded.

"Is there any remedy?" Kuzan, who had been silent, suddenly said.

"I mentioned to Lieutenant General Garp before that I have an experiment that I want to cooperate with the Spirit Master." Vegapunk finally said his intention, "I can't guarantee that the experiment can restore her lost vitality, but The experiment could save her life now.”

"What experiment?"

"Experiments on bloodline factors and human weapons."

The human weapon experiment was an important experiment that the world government ordered the science class to study a few years ago, but what about the blood factor experiment?

Vegapunk took the initiative to explain: "I plan to try to make human weapons from the blood factor. This is my new attempt. I plan to strengthen Arya's blood factor and stimulate her body's potential."

"Are you kidding? I won't let you make Arya into a weapon!" Garp subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Kuzan thought for a long time, and then said: "I'm afraid the world government will not agree to let you transform Arya."

"On the contrary, the application I submitted has been approved." Vegapunk waved the document in his hand, "But there is an additional condition."

"What conditions?" Kuzan half-squinted his eyes.

"They want Arya to become a marine."

Kuzan and Capu frowned because they didn't want Arya to become a navy, they just wanted her to live an ordinary and happy life. And given Arya's background, it's surprising that the world government would take the initiative to ask her to become a marine.

"Are there no other conditions attached?" Kuzan suspected that the World Government had other actions.

"This is kept secret for the time being." Vegapunk looked very serious. "If you really want her to live, my experiment is the only solution at present. Her physical condition cannot survive this attack."

The Vegapunk in front of them is a scientist who is said to be 500 years beyond human intelligence. Naturally, Karp and Kuzan will not doubt his words. Compared with the uncertain factors in the future, the current situation is obviously more difficult. So Kuzan was forced to make the most regretful and helpless decision in his life: agreeing to the surgery for Arya.

After knowing that Arya must become a navy, the happiest person is Zephyr. He has long taken a liking to Arya, a good prospect. But the most surprising thing is Sengoku's attitude. He has always opposed Arya's relationship with the navy, but this time he agreed to the proposal without any trouble.

Sengoku's attitude made Kuzan more and more suspicious of the World Government's additional condition of confidentiality, so he found Porusalino, who commanded the scientific force, hoping to get some information from him.

Also an admiral, Porusalino's office is next to Cuzan's.

Porusalino was a little surprised to see Kuzan: "Didn't that little guy have an operation today? Why are you still here?"

"It's enough to have Mr. Karp guarding you." Kuzan looked serious, "I want to see the documents about Arya's surgical experiment."

Porusalino took a sip from the tea cup and said slowly: "With your authority, of course you can read the experimental documents, but as a senior who has a good relationship with you, I suggest you not to read the contents. "

"Is there really something fishy about it?"

"It's useless for you to know now. Arya is already on the operating table." Porusalino glanced at the clock on the wall, "Why add to the worries?"

"" Kuzan frowned and looked at Porusalino firmly.

"Yeah~ What a disobedient guy." Porusalino took out a document from the drawer and threw it away.

Kuzan quickly scanned the boxes on the document, and his face became livid the more he looked at it.

"Asshole!" Kuzan casually crushed the teacup handed over by Porusalino, and the tea splashed onto the documents on Porusalino's desk.

"I told you not to read it. It's hard for you to find it yourself." Polusalino shrugged innocently, "I just signed the document~ Sakaski will come to hurry me up later. …”

Kuzan ignored Porusalino's complaints. He stood up and walked out of the office, disappearing menacingly at the end of the corridor.

"Hey, don't say it's the document I showed you!" Porusalino's voice followed behind him.

The Admiral's office is not gorgeous, and is even a bit simple. Except for the huge navy logo behind the desk and the justice plaque on the side, there are no other decorations.

"The justice that reigns in the world" is the justice that the Marshal of the Warring States Period has always implemented. Now these words on the plaque hurt Kuzan.

Warring States stared at the pile of documents on the table without raising his head: "Are you even starting to imitate that guy Garp in not knocking on the door?"

Zhan Guo, who had no response, was a little surprised. He raised his head and saw Kuzan's face, and he understood: "Don't do something stupid."

"Why put a bomb on Arya's heart!?" Kuzan suppressed his anger.

"This is the only way to make the world government trust Arya." Sengoku stared at Kuzan expressionlessly, "To save Arya's life, we have to use naval science and technology, so her life can only belong to Navy, but can you guarantee that Arya will be loyal to the Navy?"

"Even if we want to tie her up in the navy, we can use other methods. Why use such a high-risk method!? She is not a weapon!" Kuzan's voice suddenly rose, with obvious anger.

"This is the only way to keep her alive. Considering her life experience, we are merciful enough." Warring States said word by word, the lenses reflecting cold light, "As long as she does not betray the navy, there will be no It’s dangerous, not to mention that the operation is almost over now and it’s irreversible.”

"..." The feeling of helplessness and grief filled his entire chest, making Kuzan speechless. He knew that nothing could be changed no matter what, but the desperate anger in his heart could not be calmed down.

Sengoku sighed, and his voice suddenly softened: "Although the regulations say that Arya will detonate a bomb if she leaves Marinevando, but as long as she wears a signal jammer, she can still move freely."

"Where is the bomb's core?" Kuzan lowered his head.

"In my hands..." Sengoku regained his coldness as a soldier, "Kuzan, remember, if Arya does anything to betray the navy, I will press the switch without hesitation."

Kuzan didn't speak anymore. A huge feeling of exhaustion came over him like a tide, making it almost impossible for him to hold on.
