One Piece's Life

Chapter 345 Father's Relic

Lily squinted her eyes in the bath. She was in a happy mood and suddenly noticed Gray's presence. With her tail wrapped around the bath ball, she gradually slowed down. Lily, who moved to one side, turned on the nozzle to the maximum. Feeling the hot water pouring on her body, Lily regained her good mood and looked at the clothes placed in the corner from time to time. A dark pocket watch was placed above the clothes. Lily, who was taking a hot bath, thought of some bad memories...

Last night, when Gray used thunder and lightning to kill the weird group of people, Lily sitting aside showed a worried look: Gray, how could you bring Serara to such a dangerous place? Aren't you worried that Serara can't survive? Should you deal with it? Or... do you think you have the ability to protect Serala? Maybe you can, but... I still can't rest assured. I hope those weird guys don't show up again, and I also hope Gray doesn't find that place.

Regarding these undead monsters, Lily was too lazy to deal with them, especially when they were in the Sleeping Tower. Lily, who was protecting Serara, was not interested in them. Lily felt that their strength and speed were not enough. This is Lily's opinion, but in the eyes of others, the undead monsters wearing cloaks are very strong.

Before arriving at the Tower of Sleep, Lily, who had finished her rest, noticed that the strange crow had disappeared. She had always been paying attention to a certain forest, and she thought that someone might have deliberately led everyone here. After Lily entered the black tower, she was wary of the guy behind the scenes since she was not interested in fighting.

When the two witch sisters appeared, Lily, who had cold eyes, did not feel hostility from the two people. The confused Lily always stood behind and watched everything that happened in front of her. When two swords suddenly appeared in the hands of Ives standing on the stairs, Lily, who only used a one-handed sword, realized that the opponent was too dangerous, and Lily was hesitant to say something.

Lily cast a few glances at the sleeping Serara. She couldn't take action when she saw Avis suddenly disappearing. Lily, who was barely able to catch him, gave up the idea of ​​joining the battle. After Xiuzi and his party left the black tower, Lily still couldn't figure out the answer to a certain question: Who exactly led us to that black tower? What was his purpose? This uneasiness reminded me of many years ago. Father, what is the real cause of your death...

Lily, whose lower body was covered with a blanket, was telling Serara a story. She noticed someone's movement and she hoped that Gray wouldn't disturb her. Lily, who didn't want to move, wanted to fall asleep as soon as possible. When Gray approached, Lily, who remained silent, heard Serara's words, and nodded helplessly in agreement with Gray's decision.

Seeing Gray standing aside stupidly, Lily, who wanted to teach someone a lesson, said something, but she was still angry when she saw Gray Soo walking back. Lily raised her head and glanced at the crescent moon high in the night sky. When she heard Serala's laughter, she picked up the red dress and said, "Serala, you have to keep quiet when we get to that place."

"It's... very late now. We are going to that place late at night. It is estimated that the people there will not welcome us. Maybe they have not welcomed us from the beginning. Serala, it is best not to eat too much before going to bed. Wait until we find Once we’re in a safe place, let’s go to bed early.”

Serala, who put away her smile, shook her head gently, and then she nodded obediently: "Well, I listen to Sister Lily. It's really late now. If I eat again, maybe Serala will be there when she wakes up tomorrow. If you pull it, you will get fat, Serala doesn’t want to get fat, sister Lily, don’t worry, Serala will definitely stay in your arms quietly.”

After Lily put on a red dress for Serara, she saw that the other party was very quiet. Lily smiled: "Okay, Serala, let's go." Just as Lily, who had packed her backpack, picked up Serara, Gray suddenly Flashed aside. The two of them have long been accustomed to Gray's behavior. Serara, who closed her eyes, yawned from time to time, and Lily nodded. Under Gray's guidance, she soon saw a high wall...

Lily, who stopped, was very worried: Those annoying guys... can't pose a threat to me at all, but... they have the numerical advantage. Even if they are all eliminated, there will probably be many enemies. This is a waste of time and energy. Protecting Serara is important, let Gray handle the rest.

Lily thought that Gray would forcefully destroy the door. After she heard Gray's words, Lily, who was much more relaxed, felt that Gray had finally made a right choice, but... breaking into the castle was a wrong choice.

After Lily jumped up with a confident look, she heard a voice just standing on the high wall: "Wow, sister Lily, I really didn't expect Serala to stay at such a high place and wait for Serala to grow up. I believe it." He must be able to jump this high.”

Lily's right hand gently stroked Serala's head, and while she was looking for a safe route, she signaled the other party to be quiet. Since leaving the Flower Capital, Lily's strength has been significantly improved as she strengthened her practice. After leaving Traide City, Lily's strength improved again in just two days.

Her change was mainly due to the boring journey and the fact that Serara was under the care of Gray. Lily, who had been on the barrier for a long time, devoted herself to a certain practice. Today's Lily is very different from her past, but Lily is not proud and complacent because of this. She just wants to protect the people around her. After landing on Wolfe Island, Lily has been very quiet. In addition to being on guard, she is also observing the behavior of Gray and others.

Lily had a very bad impression of Wolfe Island, and she felt very depressed and felt the need to make corresponding adjustments, especially when she heard some of Gray's answers: Let Serara face danger alone. What was Gray thinking? No matter what his reasons are, I can't let Serala get into trouble. I don't want to be rescued by Serala again, and I don't want to see her show that expression again...

Lily, who landed safely on the high platform, heard Serara's urging and looked around. She didn't want to stay in such a conspicuous place for any longer. Lily, whose speed had increased significantly, disappeared behind the high platform. She checked all the rooms in the entire building in just 7 seconds. Lily, who was standing in the passageway on the fifth floor, glanced at Serara who was about to fall asleep. With cold eyes, she shouted towards the bottom of the stairs, and then she took Serara into a certain room.

Lily, who wanted to turn on the light, noticed that Serara had fallen asleep, and she quickly walked to the bed with her night vision. Lily sat down and took off someone's little red shoes. She put away her cold eyes and gently put someone on the bed: You said you weren't sleepy, but in fact you were already sleepy. Well...this saves you the trouble of talking. Part of the story Serala, good night

Lily took off her mask and took off her sword. She walked to the small table and gently placed the two things on the small table. After confirming that the door was locked, Lily slept next to Serara. She covered her with a quilt and fell asleep...

In the early morning, Lily was shaken awake by Serara from her sleep. Lily, who squinted her eyes, saw Serara with disheveled hair sitting next to her. Seeing the other party's little hand tightly grasping her left hand, Lily, who had not slept enough, saw someone lowering his head: "Sister Lily, Serala is so hungry, please go and prepare enough food for Serala. This room is The food... has been eaten by Serala, but please don't worry, Serala brushed her teeth and washed her face in advance."

Lily, who yawned, slowly sat up. She nodded and looked at Serala's empty belly: "Selala, you want to have breakfast. I'll prepare it later. After all, there is a kitchen here. What do you... "Forget it, I'll go find ready-made food for you first. Serala, your hair... is a bit messy, go wash your hair first." Seeing Serala nodding quickly, she walked to the bathroom, and Lily, who had finished dressing, left the room neatly. ...

Now, Lily, who was in the bathroom, finally finished taking a shower, but the shower head in the bathroom was still turned off. Lily, who was wrapped in a bathrobe, glanced at the water vapor around her. After wiping, Lily picked up the chainless pocket watch with her left hand. After opening the watch, she looked at a small photo carefully. This is a relic of Lily's father. This photo is a photo of Lily and her parents when she was a child.

Since leaving her hometown, Lily has always cherished this only family photo. Before Lily met Gray and Serara, she always carried it with her. After Lily was captured and turned into a slave, the reason why she didn't lose this photo was because she hid it in a hidden place in advance.

Lily, who had been hiding for several months, didn't want to lose the photos during her escape, so she hid important things when she first arrived in Atlas Free City. Just as Lily was about to leave, she was attacked by a group of people.

After Lily watched Gray's game in the Atlas Arena, she made a request to Gray. Not long after, Gray and the other three arrived under a certain bridge, and Lily quickly found a small bundle under a certain piece of rubble. At that time, Gray thought it was Lily's personal property, and since Lily had agreed to join, and because he had just received a huge sum of money, Gray didn't care why Lily was crying loudly.

When Lily first became a member of the ship, she made a request to Gray. Not long after, Gray found a pocket watch from Unain's room. It's just that... apart from the accurate time, this pocket watch is not made of particularly good materials, so Gray asked Unaen for advice on watchmaking techniques. A few days later, Gray fulfilled Lily's request.

This pocket watch is made of sea floor stone. Except for the dial and hands, which are the original materials, the rest have been replaced by sea floor stone. Lily was delighted when she received Gray's little masterpiece. That night, Lily carefully stuck the small photo on the watch cover...

Looking at herself in her mother's arms in the photo, with her smiling father standing aside, Lily, with her eyes half-closed, seemed to see the scene at that time through the photo. Lily was only 4 years old at the time, and she was very curious when she saw the camera for the first time.

But now... Lily's parents are not around, and she still can't let go of her father's death: I don't believe that my father is so strong, how could he die so easily? What is the real cause of his death...

Lily, who was distracted, heard Serara's laughter, and after putting her thoughts away, she carefully covered her pocket watch. A few minutes later, Lily, who had finished dressing, walked out of the bathroom. With a smile, she saw someone in Gray's arms. Seeing that someone was in a good mood, Lily was curious: "Selala, what makes you so happy?"
