One Piece's Life

Five days later in the morning, the Karoo was still sailing in a certain calm sea area. Because this sea area was too vast, Shouzi and his party did not know how long it would take to leave this comfortable sea area. Several of them hoped to spend more time here. After staying for a while, they all cherished this comfortable life at sea.

In a relatively quiet room, Xiuzi, who was about to recover, felt the warm sunlight coming from the window. Xiuzi, who showed a slight smile, stared at the red cherry placed on the small table. Xiuzi sat up slowly and put on his shoes. Xiuzi's injury is about to heal and he can walk out of the room, but he is prohibited from practicing by Mickey, including being prohibited from training in the room.

Xiuzi stretched out his left hand and pulled out Hongying. Xiuzi lowered his head and grinned. Xiuzi, who put Hongying in front of him, stretched out his right index finger. Xiuzi gently touched Hongying's blade. A few minutes ago, Xiuzi heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice, and then he had a brief exchange with Hongying...

Xiuzi, who closed his eyes tightly, heard the shaking sound of something. Xiuzi, who opened his eyes, saw Hongying, who was put in the blue scabbard, shaking slightly. Hongying was slowly moving towards Xiuzi. The wide-eyed Xiuzi quickly sat up. Xiuzi, who was holding back the pain, stretched out his left hand and pulled out Hongying. Xiuzi saw that Hongying was still shaking slightly.

Xiuzi asked seriously: "My partner, what's wrong with you? Were you hurt by that bastard?" A few seconds later, a domineering voice appeared in Xiuzi's mind, holding Hongying tightly in his left hand: "Boy, what do you think?" ..Who am I? Can you hurt me with that level of damage? Boy, do you...want to become stronger? Do you...want to become the strongest swordsman in the world?"

Xiuzi, who was sitting by the bed, was stunned for a while. Xiuzi had heard Hongying's words unilaterally conveyed to him, but what he heard was not this voice. After coming back to his senses, Xiuzi thought to himself: This is the moment. Is this Hongying’s real voice? It seems that I haven’t really gained his approval before. Listening to this voice, will Hongying be an uncle around 35 years old?

A few seconds later, Xiuzi saw Hongying stop shaking and said excitedly: "Do you need to say that? I have always dreamed of becoming the strongest swordsman in the world. I have always longed to become stronger. Let's just say, this time... What do you need me to do?" The next second, Hongying's blade emitted a faint red light, and then Xiuzi heard the other party's response: "Huh, your answer... is not bad, so I will tell you. Boy , there is a way that can lead you to the top of the swordsman, do you want to try it?"

Xiuzi clenched his right fist and punched the bed gently. Xiuzi said firmly: "Of course, no matter how difficult it is, I want to try." After the faint red light of Hongying disappeared, under a ray of sunshine Hongying, who was under the irradiation, responded: "Okay, boy, be prepared to die." After that, Hongying never talked to Xiuzi again...

Now, Xiuzi, who was touching Hongying with his right index finger, didn't wait for the other party's response. Xiuzi put away some thoughts and began to look at Hongying. In the Capital of Flowers, Xiuzi, who was fighting against someone, saw that the silver-haired Dylan wanted to destroy Hongying, but he failed to stop him, but fortunately... Hongying was still unscathed.

Xiuzi, who was awakened, did not want Hongying to be treated like that again. He believed that the fundamental reason was himself: a swordsman was forced to put down his weapon during the battle. This is not what a swordsman should do. It is all because I am not strong enough. ..

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Xiuzi closed his eyes. Xiuzi was recalling the scene of the final contest with Dylan: Xiuzi, who had very little physical strength left, stood in front of the continuously rotating white sphere, armed with both fists, the color-hardened Xiuzi relied on Break the white ball with brute force. Shuzi, who squinted his eyes, felt the bright vision inside the white ball. Shuzi, who had a serious expression, saw that Dylan's eyes were red. Dylan, who opened his big mouth, continued to spit out tiny wind blades, but Dylan was not affected by the wind blades. Dylan, whose hands continued to emit waves, was trying to destroy Hongying.

Shouz, who was about to fall down at any time, shouted angrily: "You bastard... you will never be forgiven for what you want to do to my weapon." Shouz waved his right fist and jumped hard, and was hit by Shouz who jumped in through the hole. The left side of Dylan's face was just...Xiusz's move couldn't change anything.

A few seconds later, Xiuzi saw Dylan holding Hongying tightly with both hands and throwing her toward him. Dylan, with red eyes, exhaled hundreds of tiny wind blades in one breath. In the next moment, Dylan disappeared. The red cherry hit Xiuzi's abdomen, and the white ball was completely shattered. Xiuzi, who felt the severe pain, was knocked away by hundreds of wind blades.

Before Shuzi, who was still conscious, fell to the ground, he heard Dylan's domineering words: "Boy, you are very strong, but... you are not strong enough. You are not worthy of being my prey. Wait until you become strong enough." When the time comes, I will come to you again.”

After the fallen Xiuzi rolled around for a few times, Xiuzi, who couldn't bear the severe pain, glanced at Hongying more than ten meters away and the fallen scabbard. Then Xiuzi, who was covered with injuries, fell into a coma. ..

Shuze both loved and hated this super powerful guy. With the super powerful Dylan chasing after him, Xiuzi felt that his presence was a reminder that he must work harder to practice. Now, Xiuzi is very strong, but... the other people on the ship are also very strong. Shuze has been looking for an opponent. He doesn't want to compete with Gray and others with a real sword.

Shuzi is eager to meet a foreign and powerful opponent. Although Dylan is not a swordsman, he still meets this standard. However, the violent Dylan almost hurt Warren, which made Shoetz very angry. Since Dylan came to find him, Shuzi hoped that Dylan would not attack others.

As for the silver-haired girl next to Dylan, Xiuzi didn't pay attention. Xiuzi, who didn't include Kagulina, thought that only Dylan was troublesome. Now, Xiuzi, who was eager to become stronger, put away Hongying and looked at the door with a smile...

After Mickey passed by Xiuzi's door and entered the room, Mickey, who was wearing a blue skirt, walked to the desk. Mickey sat down softly, moved the two sketch pens on the table to one side, and opened the pages of a certain book. Mickey began to read seriously...

A few minutes ago, Mickey told Gray some precautions at the helm. Seeing Gray's slight nod, she instantly disappeared into the cabin. Before leaving the Flower City, Mickey bought a large number of books on navigation knowledge, among which dozens of books were the latest collection of strange stories about the Demonic Sea. Hundreds of books cost nearly 200 million beli. Before Mickey and the three returned to the ship, these books were packed in a luggage bag. The duffel bag was carried by Klaus who kept smiling, while Midge took two boxes of Baileys.

Mickey likes Klaus when he is well-behaved. Looking at Klaus's relaxed look, Mickey understands that Klaus has become a little stronger. Mickey plans to supervise Klaus's practice after returning to the ship. But after Mickey returned to the ship, she quickly put away her leisurely attitude.

While Schnebby was treating two people, Midge stood quietly outside the door. The expressionless Mickey looked at the dock getting further and further away. Mickey thought to herself: Damn it, Warren, you bastard... why didn't you explain this situation to me on the phone? If you had told me at that time, maybe I, Shi Nebby and Klaus will rush to you. Warren, what on earth are you thinking? Are you not going to tell the specific situation? Are you not even willing to say who injured Unaun and Schulze like this?

After leaving the Flower Capital, Mickey decided to concentrate on practicing for a while, but she didn't have enough free time. Ever since the Karoo entered this too calm sea, Mickey has been paying attention to something. Others may not care about this, but Mickey is very concerned about it. She feels that there is something unusual in this sea area.

During the day, Mickey would walk out of the room every two hours. After confirming that the course was correct, Mickey informed Warren and Gray of the new instructions. Mickey, who still regards Gray as the object of admiration, longs to become as strong as Gray. However, Gray has been a bit abnormal recently. Mickey can detect something strange about Gray. Mickey does not know what Gray has experienced.

When Gray was at the helm, Mickey could see that Gray was injured, but Mickey didn't know how serious the injury was. Whenever Mickey looked at Gray seriously, Gray, who kept smiling, began to change the subject. Mickey, who was not a doctor, couldn't guess what Gray was thinking, so she didn't mention it.

Now, sitting at the desk, Mickey turned a new page. Mickey continued to look at the novel meteorology...

In the cabin, Gray, who was wearing black clothes, was sitting cross-legged next to a small chair, resting with his left hand lightly on his chest. During this time, I was deeply afraid that other people would notice something strange about me, but... I still couldn't hide it from those people. Fortunately... they didn't tell me. I can feel that they care about me, and it feels like being remembered...it's so good.

I haven't seen Yunuen and Shuzi since they returned to the ship. To be precise, I am avoiding them. I don't want these two people to see me weak. As for Schnebby, he has a bit of a serious occupational problem, and every time I see him getting close, I can feel some of Schnebby's emotions. I'm troubled, I don't know how to face Schnebby.

If Schnebby is not allowed to check his body, he will probably come to see me every once in a while. If I asked Schnebby to check my body, my injuries would probably be exposed, and I didn't want that. I'd better think of something happy. Serala's physical condition is getting better and better, and she will probably recover. In the past half month, I have been thinking every night before going to bed: The banquet must be held, but... how can I prevent Serala from noticing anything strange? Serala is good at observing, and she will think about things that shouldn't be done. Things to think about.

But Serala is easily satisfied. Should I hunt a very large sea fish or a sea monster? That’s the decision. As long as Serala can eat enough...

Gray stood up slowly, still not putting down his left hand. Looking at the rudder, Gray thought to himself: What do those words Mickey said... what do they mean? Are they the nautical terminology of this world? Sorry, I can't understand these words. Mickey never understood them. Warren seems to understand these terms. I'll have to ask him...

A few seconds later, Gray, who was holding his right hand on the wall, showed a pained expression. Gray, who put down his right hand, calmly took out a handkerchief from his pocket. Gray covered his mouth and coughed twice. After confirming that the cabin door was closed, Gray lowered his head slightly. After putting down his right hand, Gray looked at the handkerchief with blood in pain: When will these injuries heal?
