Pursuing freedom in the world of One Piece

Five days later, the new dessert shop opened.

Today is the second day of opening.

The sign Tina prepared had the three characters "dessert shop" written on it. But this does not prevent many people from coming forward to buy.

"Boss, is it true that you buy one and get one free?"

"It's true. Which one do you want to choose...?"

This familiar voice... Tina looked up from busy packing cakes. The man was wearing a V-neck long sleeves, black trousers and boots, a dark green coat, and round-frame sunglasses.

"Ku...Zan?" As if she didn't expect him to appear here, Tina's movements slowed down.

Soika in the back is beating eggs to make batter.

Hmm... looks delicious...

She sprinkled the sugar according to the procedure and took a secret taste. The taste is similar to what Tina makes.

So sweet, so sweet!

"Do you need help?" Soika was immersed in the joy of eating. She didn't notice the green pheasant coming in from behind, and her hands shook and she almost spilled the batter.

Pei and Taya happened to have something to do this morning and couldn't come to help. She and her mother should be the only ones in the dessert shop.

Soika turned her head sharply when she was ready to fight. The first thing she saw was the tall figure of Qingzhi, and when she looked up, it was his face.

"Hello...hello?" He felt inexplicably guilty of being a thief.

Aoki walked to Soika's side unhurriedly and repeated the above question again.

She had no choice but to awkwardly ask Qing Zhi to wash the fruits, and the two of them got busy.

"Why are you here? After the support is over, shouldn't we go back to the Navy Headquarters?"

"The fleet has a handover mission with the navy here, so I came by the way."

"Oh..." She thought to herself, how could the date be so accurate? The dessert shop happened to be opening today.

"One more thing, Freifans...is dead."

Soika's pupils shrank instantly, and the egg in his hand fell to the table. It was as if the air around her had been sucked out, and her whole body was in a vacuum environment.

I couldn't breathe, and my body felt like a thousand kilograms of pressure was pressing down on my internal organs.

"Soika!" Tina was born with a high-level sense of perception, and she could feel the huge changes in people's emotions without deliberately using it. Soika's mood dropped off a cliff, and she immediately rushed in to check on Soika.

At this time, Soika was holding on to the table, trying to stop her body from shaking, while Aoki was supporting her.

"Soika! Are you okay?"

"No, I'm fine..." The words squeezed out from between the teeth seemed very weak.

"This..." Tina looked at Qing Pheasant and waved her hand, signaling her to go back. After giving a worried look, he returned to the counter.

"Sorry, I told you so suddenly." Aokiji patted Soika on the back to apologize.

"It's okay, it will come eventually..." Unlike the last time she recalled Freifans, she seemed to have calmed down faster this time.

"There is no news report yet, but the Navy has received the news and requires everyone who has been to Frevans to undergo a physical examination."

"Physical examination? Platinum-lead disease is not an infectious disease. The world's governments should know it. They are really good at showing off." She smiled sarcastically, and Aokiji, who was a navy, had to agree with these words.

Ah la la, what a headache. Qing Zhi thought so.

After a busy morning, the three of them sat at the dining table on the second floor. There are several delicious dishes made by Tina on the table.

"I didn't expect you to come, Kuzan. I just told you on the phone yesterday."

"I came to help as I was passing by."

Tina served the rice for the two of them and moved it in front of them. The first one and the second one soon started picking up vegetables and rice. Qingzhi praised Tina's cooking skills. The two chatted about ordinary things until they both realized that Soika had been silent and she had already finished eating.

Soika returned to the room and fiddled with her notebook. But within a few minutes, she was lying on the window sill in annoyance. The window sill was the same as before, but it wasn't Luo's desk opposite.

Part of her irritability was because she learned about the potential for Freifans' demise, and part of her mood was because she didn't know how to deal with Aokiji.

Say green pheasant, green pheasant will arrive. Shit, I forgot to close the door when I came in.

"I heard from Tina that you have learned the domineering power of seeing and hearing." Qingzhi closed the door, as if he had something to say to her.

She looked at Qing Zhi sitting lazily on her stool and nodded blankly.

"There are a lot of things I want to say, but before that, I want to ask you a question."

"Please tell me." Soika, who was lying on the window sill, sat upright and looked directly at him nervously.

"Don't be so serious." It made him a little nervous.

No, just say it quickly. If you don't tell me, I'm more nervous. Soika complained in his mind.

"I want to ask you what the future development trend of the world will be." Fortunately, Aokiji knew most of the consequences of the future from the Freifans incident, so he only asked her to name the key words.

Soika's nervousness disappeared, replaced by caution and caution.

She stared directly at the man in front of her, considering his position.

After the War on the Top, Aoki resigned from the navy due to a dispute over the position of marshal, and became involved with the Blackbeard Pirates.

"What is your purpose?" Moreover, he didn't want to say it himself.

Aoki remained silent and responded to Soika with his eyes.

Soika thought for a long time and closed her eyes with determination.

In the darkness, the important plot of One Piece kept flashing back in her mind, condensing into a few words: "One Piece, Revolutionary Army, One Hundred Years of Blank, World Government."

It may not sound like much to ordinary people, but if it comes from Soika's mouth, it becomes intriguing.

Qingzhi thought for a while and was about to ask something more, but was interrupted by Soika.

"That's all I can say, let's end this topic."

She jumped down from the window sill and quickly lay down on the bed with her back to Qing Zhi, as if she was walking slowly without leaving.

Upon seeing this, Aoki walked to the edge of the bed and looked down at Soika's little head.

It seems that Soika was like this when she was angry before. As a general, he rarely found time to visit his mother and daughter. Maybe she complained that he had too little company. Soika would not say goodbye to him every time he left, and would sulk in her room. Like now.

But she is not Soika, but she is so similar to her.

"I have always advocated separation of family matters and work matters, but I still want to say that I hope you can join the Navy."

Housework? Family Matters…Family…Family! No, you accept me so quickly?

"This tough attitude is not for family members."

good. Qing Pheasant knew that he was not capable of sarcasm.

In an ordinary afternoon, the long-lost father and daughter met. If this were Soika from before, she would be lying in her father's arms and acting like a normal child.

Not to mention Soika, even she can do it. I can't help but miss my father in another world.

Just when Qingzhi was about to open the door and leave, Soika stopped him.

"Will you miss your daughter?"

Aoki turned around and saw Soika's face emerging from the quilt. This looks a bit weird...

"Yes." When Aoki said this, he focused on the change in Soika's expression, and it was exactly what Tina said.

"It's an unacceptable fact. But Tina accepts you, and I will give it a try." After that, he opened the door and left.

It happened that Tina opened the door with a smile on her face. Aokiji was not surprised. After explaining the situation to her, Tina smiled even happier.

"Right, right? I'm just saying that you and your daughter lack communication."

Qingzhi nodded and carried Tina back to the room.

————————————————————

This morning Pei and her mother went to pick up the new piano. As soon as the relocation workers left, Pei couldn't wait to start auditioning.

A melodious piano music played under Pei's hands, making her feel extremely excited.

"It sounds so nice. I wonder when my mother's violin will arrive." Taya closed her eyes and enjoyed the music, and there was a rapid knock on the door.

Taya opened the door and it was Kidd.

Kidd said hello, aunt, and went to find Pei.

"Shirton..." Kidd saw Pei playing the piano and was speechless.

A six-year-old child does not know what beauty is, but he has the ability to appreciate it. In his performance, Pei was synonymous with elegance and dignity, which deeply shocked his heart without him knowing it.

"Ah, it's Kidd." Pei got off the piano bench and walked towards Kidd.

"Look, Hiltung! The new robot!"

"The parts this time fit perfectly! Huh? Didn't you say you wanted to call me sister?"

"Just a little bit, I don't want it!"

The two of them chatted like this for almost the whole afternoon. Until Soika appeared.

Soika was holding two cakes in her hands, one made by Tina for Taya, and one made by herself for Pei.

She raced to Pei's house and went in when she saw that the door of Pei's villa was open.

"Pey! I'm the new pastry chef! Come and try my cakes!"
