People in One Piece are so good-looking

Early morning, Malinvando.

The rising sun, like boiling molten steel, dispersed the diffuse light mist. The sky was blue and cloudless, as clear as a mirror. It was a good day to hold a large-scale ceremony.

Nuo Xia rubbed her hands and came out of the dormitory building, looked up at the sky, exhaled a breath of white mist, and then hurried to the venue where the awarding ceremony was held.

In Malinvando at the end of October, the temperature dropped sharply, especially in the early morning, when it got even colder.

The place where the awarding ceremony was held was in the square in front of the headquarters fortress building, facing the vast crescent-shaped harbor.

There have been so many stories in this place. The shocking battle between the Golden Lion and Garp Warring States three years ago, and the War on the Summit nineteen years later, all took place here.

There were already many people gathering in the square, and Nuo Xia estimated that he was one of the last ones to arrive.

Under countless blazing eyes, he struggled through the ordinary sailors on the outside and came to the inside near the high platform, where he found that most of the seats inside were already occupied.

Xiliu and Rosinandi were crowded together, and the seats on both sides were occupied. When they saw him looking at him, they spread their hands at the same time, indicating that they could not help.

"You don't know how to save a seat for me in advance, right?"

Nuo Xia was furious and was about to continue searching for an empty seat when suddenly a lazy voice sounded from behind her:

"Hey! This way."

Turning around, I saw Qingzhi sitting on a seat in the middle row with his legs crossed. Seeing him looking at her, he raised his thumb and pointed at the empty seat on the right.

"Lieutenant General Kuzan?"

Nuo Xia walked over, but did not sit down in a hurry. He asked curiously, "Why are you here?"

"Ah, it just so happens that I just returned to the headquarters these days."

Qing Zhi took out his earwax and said lazily, "I heard that there is a title ceremony here today, so I came over to join in the fun."

"That's not what I meant..." Nuo Xia sat down and looked at him speechlessly, "I mean, why didn't you go to the front and had to squeeze in here?"

On both sides of the high platform in front, there is a row of sofa chairs facing the bottom, and the people sitting there are all the bosses of the headquarters who are above the lieutenant general level.

Garp Sengoku was among them, and two old men were fighting over a basket of donuts.

"I'm a shy person, and I'm not used to facing a large crowd of people in the dark below." Qingzhi chuckled, "It would be great to watch from below, and don't you think that the location I chose is the best viewing area? ?”

Nuo Xia compared it left and right, and found that it was really like the best viewing area in an IMAX theater. It was just right. If you want to book this seat, you have to pay extra.

"Marshal Kong hasn't arrived yet." Qingzhi glanced at his watch, "It seems we have to wait a while before we can start."

As he spoke, he looked at Nuo Xia again, with a smile on his lips:

"I didn't expect that after not returning to the headquarters for more than half a year, you are about to graduate, and you were so famous before."

"The limelight" obviously refers to the killing of William Shichibukai.

Nuo Xia smiled without saying anything. Qing Zhi reached out and patted his shoulder, sighing:

"Well done. If I were there, I would definitely make the same choice as you."

Qing Zhi's words were firm and sincere, and Nuo Xia couldn't help but look at him carefully again.

I found that although this guy was still lazy on the surface, his eyes were as bright as a torch, implying an edge.

It seems that he has returned to the appearance of the young navy who stepped out from the elite camp with enthusiasm and unstoppable energy ten years ago.

It seems that what I said when I was in Xihai was not in vain after all...

In this way, when the top reaches the top in the future, maybe there will be one less big fisher? Nuo Xia pondered silently.

"Hey, this way!"

The Aoki next to him suddenly raised his right arm, waved and spoke. Nuo Xia followed his gaze and found Taotu standing there with a frown, looking around for an empty seat.

He came later than himself... Nuo Xia laughed in his heart, but when he saw the strawberry mark on the back of the little rabbit's neck that had not been completely eliminated, he silently put back his desire to complain.

Alas, in the end you still have yourself to blame.

Over there, after hearing the call, Taotu subconsciously turned his head to look, then his eyes lit up instantly and he strode over.

"Why are you here so late?"

Qingzhi greeted her with a smile and pointed to the empty seat on his left, "Fortunately, I have a seat here, otherwise..."

"you."

Taotu interrupted him and pointed to the empty seat unceremoniously, "Sit over!"

"Eh?"

Qingzhi was stunned and said in astonishment, "Why... why? I have been sitting here for a long time, and your position is not bad... Ouch!"

But before he could finish his words, he was kicked by the impatient Peach Rabbit.

"Just move, if you can't just talk nicely, you have to take action..."

Qing Pheasant frowned and moved his butt one space to the left. Then he watched Peach Rabbit sit down and naturally leaned his shoulders against Nuo Xia.

And Nuo Xia seemed to be used to it, and he signed Taotu's hand. The two intertwined their fingers and looked at each other with a smile.

"..."

Qingzhi looked at the two of them blankly, then looked up at the sky blankly, and murmured to himself:

"It doesn't make sense. I clearly remember getting up to wash up this morning and squatting on the toilet for an hour. I shouldn't be still dreaming..."

"Did the kick I just kicked you hurt?" Taotu glanced sideways at him.

"……pain."

Qingzhi told the truth, then he patted his head and suddenly realized, "Oh, that's not a dream."

But the scene in front of me seems more bizarre and terrifying than a dream, right?

He looked at the hands clasped together with a look of constipation on his face. It was clear that the two of them were strangers to each other the last time they met. If it weren't for the civet cat, they wouldn't have a chance to talk...

Why has this relationship developed now?

Taotu was too lazy to look at him anymore, turned his head, and chatted with Nuo Xia with a low smile.

Are you being isolated for no reason?

The cold sea breeze blew over, and the distance between the two seemed to be infinitely widening. The frozen man Qingzhi shivered and suddenly felt a little cold.

"It's too much..." He scratched his disheveled hair and muttered, "After so many years of friendship, I even reserved a special position for you, and today you kicked me for a brat..."

As he spoke, he suddenly felt eyes staring at him.

Qingzhi frowned and turned around, only to see a few rows away in the corner, a tea dolphin holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, staring at them dumbfounded.

"Ah la la..."

Qing Zhixian raised his eyes and looked at the tea dolphin for a few seconds. When he turned his head again, he suddenly felt much better.

———

About ten minutes later.

Zefa and Ganggu Kong finally arrived belatedly and stepped onto the high platform one after the other.

One of them is the chief instructor of the elite battalion, and the other is the marshal of the navy headquarters. There is no doubt that they will host the awarding ceremony this time. The former is responsible for giving a speech and summarizing, and the latter is responsible for awarding and encouraging.

The originally noisy square suddenly became much quieter, and countless eyes focused on the two people in the center of the high platform.

Continuing with the pockmarks, there is another update, which will be relatively late.
