One Piece: I Want to Sign

"Hey, why is Victory so obsessed with cloning fruits?"

Looking at Wyatt who called a group of marines out to work but stayed in the cafe without leaving, Ann tugged at the corner of his clothes and asked.

"This is..."

"Xiao An must promise not to tell anything after listening," as he said, he noticed Ruth next to An, "Little Ruth, too."

"Because this story is super cool~"

"Don't worry, we are very strict!"

An straightened up, made a zipper gesture with his hand and said.

"Hahaha, then I'll start talking."

“Once upon a time, there was a super cool boy who lived in a super cool home and had super cool parents—”

"stop!"

Ann interrupted Wyatt.

"Lieutenant General Wyatt, could you please remove those catchphrases when telling your story?"

Ruth on the side spoke.

"Oh, okay, but this story is really awesome...oh, I won't tell you anymore."

Under the glare of Ruth and Ann, Wyatt finally spoke normally.

"Once upon a time there was a little boy who lived in a poor family."

"Although he was poor, his love for learning could not be shaken. His parents supported his idea and spent all the money in the family just to let this child go to school."

"The boy is very serious and smart. He is the best student in that village. The teachers all say that if he receives a higher level of education, he can be admitted to the best university outside."

"He is the hope of the village."

"So the village chief raised money from the whole village to send him to the town's school."

"But he is a boy from a rural area and is not welcomed outside. He is often blocked in a corner and beaten and kicked by other students. He has no choice but to swallow his anger because of his background."

"Later, he lived up to expectations and was admitted to the Naval Academy. He received his salary and returned home, but his parents were nowhere to be seen."

"It turned out that pirates attacked the village where he lived. The villagers fought hard, but they were killed and injured. His parents passed away, and the village chief at that time lost both his legs..."

"He donated all his salary to the village and built a primary school in the village. Then he went to g5 to become a navy."

"He has been looking for a way to resurrect his parents and tried to find a Devil Fruit that has such effects. However, he has been looking for it, but he only found the Underworld Fruit that can be resurrected even after eating it, and there is also an operation that can make people live forever. fruit."

"But this won't be of much help to the boy's deceased parents who have never eaten a Devil Fruit."

"The boy finally found the 'Clone Fruit', which was his last hope... But the government said that the 'Clone Fruit' was just a figment of people's imagination, and no one had ever seen this kind of fruit since ancient times."

After Wyatt finished speaking, it took a long time, but neither Ann nor Ruth recovered.

"Is Victory the boy in the story?"

[No wonder he is so nervous about ‘cloning fruit’. 】

As soon as Ang thought this, Wyatt denied it.

"No, the boy in the story is me."

"what?"

Ann and Ruth were both taken aback.

"So, Victory is just a tool you brought over from another branch to improve the cultural level of the entire base?"

"And he happened to see the information about the cloned fruit you put on the table and was very interested in it?"

Ann and Ruth said one after another, their eyes full of disbelief.

"Yes." Wyatt nodded.

"The clone fruit?"

"It really exists. I've seen it with my own eyes."

"what?!"

Ann and Ruth shouted together.

“Shhh—isn’t it super cool!”

Wyatt strikes one of his weird poses again, only this time, instead of complaining, Ann and Ruth...

"Yeah, super cool!"

It was a cold night spent in the North Sea. Although I was just an ensign at the time, the Vice Admiral trusted me very much and sent me to Freifans to ask a doctor with good medical skills to return to G5 to treat the Lieutenant General's illness.

The doctor quickly agreed, but he said he would give him three days to prepare. I wanted to visit Freifans, known as the "White Town", during these three days, but I got lost along the way and accidentally fell into Out of the sea.

It was the coldest season in the North Sea. I fell into the sea, which was about to freeze. My whole body was suddenly so cold that it felt like being pricked by needles. I couldn't control anything and could only swim towards the shore.

I don’t know how long I swam. I just remember that my whole body was frozen, and I passed out not long after.

When I woke up again, I was beaten into the sand by the waves and found something hard under me. I got busy to check.

It was a pink-yellow thing with a spiral pattern. The first time I saw it, I knew it was a Devil Fruit, and it was exactly the same as the "Clone Fruit" I saw in ancient books.

I knew it would bring me my parents back, but instead of eating it, I buried it back in the sand.

It happened that a ship came nearby and took me back to Frevans. I took the doctor back to G5. The doctor's medical skills were indeed great, but he only gave the lieutenant general four more years of life.

"This is my story, how about it?"

Ann and Ruth were a little dumbfounded.

"Why don't you eat that fruit? Then your parents can come back!"

An was puzzled.

"The cloning fruit, as its name suggests, is just copying and pasting the appearance of one thing into another, and the cloned person or thing only has an empty body and does not have the same soul as them."

"In other words, if I clone my parents, they will just be strangers who look the same as my parents."

"Besides, people cannot be resurrected. This is something I only understand when I grow up. My father and mother have been in trouble all their lives, but it is better not to experience such a big thing again. All I can do is to reassure them that their son is living a good life now." Yes, and wish them all the best in heaven."

"I will take their share and survive together."

Ann seemed to understand, but was a little confused.

So did Ruth.

Wyatt smiled, touched their two heads, and said:

"You don't need to pay too much attention to these things. You will understand them when you grow up."

"Just remember, I'm super cool~"

[I was serious for only a second, and my true colors were immediately revealed. 】

An secretly complained.

It is true that most children will gradually understand these things as they grow up, but not long after, An was forced to understand these truths overnight because of a sudden accident.

"Bye, Wyatt!"

"Goodbye, Lieutenant General Wyatt!"

Ann and Ruth stood on the deck of the Amukai, waving goodbye to Wyatt, whose sight was gradually shrinking.

They are about to go to the "white town" Frevans.
