[One Piece] Even the Four Emperors Shanks will show you the strategy

Knowing that he was older than Shanks made him suffer a lot, and the injury to his shoulder became even more painful.

"By the way," seeing Xiao Ren's painful look, Shanks took the initiative to change the subject, "What did you pour just now?"

"Is that that? A specialty of Wano Country...if I insist on explaining it, it's a powerful sulfuric acid."

Shanks slowly turned his head: "You still need to bring sulfuric acid when you go out?"

"We would all be dead if we didn't have it. It's a pity, because I ran away secretly and only took one can. Fu Lu Shou must be so angry," she said when she thought of Fu Lu Shou's usually expressionless face. His face turned purple with anger and he wanted to laugh. What a surprise it was for that smelly old man to find that she was missing when he woke up. She laughed a few times, but her movements were too big and pulled the wound. She gasped in pain and closed her mouth.

"Who is Fu Lu Shou?"

"Well, my immediate boss? A vicious old man. I was sent to him for training when I was five years old."

"Really? I've been on the Jackson since I was a child. Were those days interesting? I've never heard you mention it."

"It's boring when you think about it, otherwise why would I run out? I don't exist there as a human being, but as the shield of the Kozuki family and a killing knife."

Shanks opened his mouth and looked confused. Maybe he didn't understand, or maybe he didn't understand. Xiao Ren sighed and explained: "That is to say, if there is danger, I will protect the young master with all my life, and I will do anything that will harm the interests of the young master." assassinate the people.”

"Oden is much stronger than you, shouldn't he be the one protecting you?" He completely understood this time, and was filled with indignation as if he was the one being used. "Does he know this?"

"What's the use of knowing it? He didn't want to inherit Wano Country... He thinks he's out of the way, right? But... after five years of sailing experience, he will change. By then, Wano Country... forget it. Come on, why are you talking about this?"

"Will you go back with me?"

"I don't know, of course I don't want to go back. But... without me, they will definitely mess up."

"The captain said that everyone on the sea is free. Trust your companions more."

Xiao Ren glanced at him. When he said this, the young man's eyes were bright. It seemed that in the future in his eyes, Oden would be able to found the country of Wano and become a wise monarch.

Oden is indeed very reliable in terms of force, but his brain is not very good. And the Nine Heroes of Chixiao... They just said one word and showed no brainless support for Oden. Xiao Ren couldn't tell him the truth, and she didn't eat any prophetic fruit, so no one would believe her if she told him.

She smiled and waved her hand: "I'm looking forward to that too."

While they were talking, they had already walked a long way. The faint light that suddenly appeared in front of them shocked both of them, and they quickened their pace.

When the road came to the end, they were all in a daze. It turned out that it was not a rain forest outside, but something similar to an altar.

A crystal clear spring with no trace of mud surrounded a huge egg with red spots on a white background that looked to be seven meters high. It was surrounded by colorful flowers, so many varieties that were so gorgeous that even Xiao Shinobi couldn't recognize them all.

The light came from the top of the head, and clusters of transparent crystals that looked like luminous pearls illuminated the place like daylight, making it completely impossible to tell that it was an underground cave.

Normally, she would have thought this place was weird, but with the rain forest outside and a snake with a devil fruit in its eye, everything made sense. She had a feeling that was indeed the case.

"Shinobu-chan."

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Shanks calling her name. She turned around and saw the boy at the edge of the spring, calling her over to clean the wound.

"I'm a little worried." She squatted down next to him. "I don't know where this water comes from. It seems like it appeared out of thin air without a source."

"Don't be afraid, I just drank some and I feel fine."

"Huh? Drink, drink???"

The veins on Xiao Ren's forehead twitched twice. She shrunk her neck and squeezed out her plump double chin. The corners of her mouth turned downward and she held his shoulders with trembling hands. Then……

"Why did you just drink it? What if it was poisonous? What should I do if you faint?" The boy's head swayed like a rattle as she moved, "Spit it out!"

"Spit, I can't spit it out anymore..." He was so dizzy that he was relieved to see that she was still so energetic.

"Oh, forget it, that's it anyway..." She stopped, cruelly, and reached out to pull off her clothes. Because of the flames, her clothes had been scorched and her flesh was stuck together. She didn't know where to start. It took her a long while to find a complete piece. She pulled it and almost burst into tears, "Let's forget it. That's it... …”

Of course Shanks disagreed, and in the end the two of them had a half-quarrel and half-discussion and finally decided that he would help Xiaoxin deal with the wound.

Xiaoren was so painful that his nose and tears were flowing, and his image was completely gone. Looking back afterwards, she wished she could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

Shanks tore his shirt into strips and bandaged it for her. His technique was not very good, and Xiao Shinobu felt that she couldn't lift her arm after he had wrapped it.

After everything was over, the two stood up and began to observe the cave. Shinobu was immediately attracted by a statue on the left side of the egg, as was Shanks, and they went there together.

I don’t know what the statue is made of. It feels smooth and icy like jade. She is naked, with no hair on her body, and her three o’clock parts are covered by a coiled snake.

The most surprising thing is her eyes, which are inlaid with two gems. The left eye seems to have been gouged out, leaving only the right eye shining with blood.

"This..." Before Xiao Ren could say anything, Shanks had already reached out and pulled out the remaining gem.

"It's so beautiful."

"You?" Xiao Nin's expression was uglier than eating shit. "Aren't you afraid of some trap? What if you pull it down and it will cause the cave to collapse? Isn't that what's written in novels? Haven't you ever seen it before? "

"Really? It seems that there has been..." He scratched his head, looked at the things in his hands, and then looked at the statue of the goddess with only two blind holes left, "Then I will stuff it back for her."

"What are you still stuffing back? They've all been taken down... And this guy is also a one-eyed dragon... Just put it away yourself." She held her forehead, sat down and leaned against the goddess's slender legs, "Let's rest here. Later."

It was so quiet here, and there was a faint sweet floral fragrance in the air, which seemed to soothe people's soul. She was exhausted physically and mentally and fell asleep soon after sitting down.

She woke up again because she smelled the aroma of barbecue, which smelled like lights in the dark night, and she was a lost traveler. She was attracted immediately and almost forgot where she was. For a moment, I thought I was still on the pirate ship.

"Give~"

It was Shanks who was roasting mushrooms, and when he saw Shinobu waking up, he handed her one.

Xiaoren was moved and took it, and swallowed it without saying a word. After the hot food was eaten, his stomach felt very comfortable, and he felt very energetic. Shanks handed her the second one. She glanced at it when she had time, and was struck by lightning and froze in place.

After a long time, she regained her composure and finally found her voice. She pointed at the beautiful mushroom with a more complicated pattern than the three-dimensional Lolita skirt: "Shanks, did you know that colorful mushrooms... are poisonous?"

"No?" He didn't care, "I just ate it and I didn't feel any discomfort."

Hearing this, Xiao Ren also carefully felt his physical condition, and it seemed that there was indeed nothing uncomfortable. On the contrary, the injuries on his shoulders and some bone fractures in his body were not too painful.

Is this herbal medicine?

This was a blessing among misfortunes. She should have been happy, but she didn't know why, but she just felt so sad. The more she tried to suppress it, the more her grievances came up.

From time to time, all the sufferings I suffered, being misunderstood and insulted, being separated from my companions... and the future of Wano...

"Xiao Ren, why are you crying?"

Shanks, who was roasting mushrooms, had no idea what was going on. He found something he thought was edible while the girl was sleeping. After eating it himself, he didn't feel poisoned or uncomfortable, so he gave it to her to eat.

As a result...why was this man crying? Recalling their previous conversation, he certainly thought that he had made the other party cry, and hurriedly put down what he was holding and went over: "It's my fault, I shouldn't eat randomly, don't be sad."

"Oh no!" Her tears were like broken pearls that couldn't stop. "I didn't cry, I didn't know! I'm so sad!"

"Yes, yes, you are not crying." Xiao Ren's handkerchief had been washed clean by him, and it was just used to wipe her tears. She cried harder and noisier than the one-year-old Hiyori. After Shanks wiped her tears, snot was dripping from her nose. After a while, the handkerchief was so wet that it looked like it had just been fished out of the water.

He supported her with one hand and squeezed the water from the handkerchief with the other. He had witnessed a woman's tears today. Never make Xiao Ren cry again, he warned himself.

"Oooh, I'm so useless!"

"Why are you useless? Didn't you just save me? Xiao Ren is very powerful."

"No! I'm just useless!"

Seeing that Xiao Ren was crying louder after being praised by him, he quickly changed his words: "Ah, yes."

"???" Xiao Ren wrinkled his nose.

Seeing that she seemed to be trying to retreat, Shanks took advantage of the situation and said, "You're useless."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! You admitted it!"

"..."

Xiao Nin burst into tears and threw herself into Shanks's arms: "I don't want to be Xiao Nin, I like Perona woo woo!"

"Who?" The voice was too choked and he couldn't hear it clearly, but he could also understand that it might be someone she longed for. His chest was wet with sweat, tears and snot, but there was no look of disgust on his face.

"I don't want to be separated from everyone, Young Master, Lord Toki, Inuarashi, Neko Viper, Hiyori...and Dad, Marco, Captain Roger, Rayleigh, Jabba...and Bucky...most of all What matters is you..."

"We will never separate." He whispered, "From now on, we will always be partners on my ship."

"Uuuuuuu, but I don't want to kill anyone..."

"Who said you were allowed to kill people?" He chuckled, "Xiao Nin is the navigator, leave the killing to me, the captain."
