[comprehensive] red tide

He strangled her throat, and the elemental ice blade at his fingertips cut open the warm and soft skin, and the oozing blood was quickly frozen again.

Before the ray of heat from her froze, she tried to erode and melt the thin ice, but after failing, she was assimilated instead, and her blood froze on his fingertips to form a sharp edge.

Aokiji was in a trance for a moment, but he woke up again in an instant, the strength between his fingers suddenly tightened, and the edge of the flashing sharp light was like his invincible determination at the moment.

He raised the corners of his eyes, and silently threatened the king who was standing a short distance away, surrounded by an astonishing fighting spirit.

One Piece, Gore D Roger.

One step behind the black-haired king, Sirbazz Raleigh, the king of the underworld, looked indifferent, holding the hilt of the western sword, and his seemingly random movements brought out boundless murderous intent.

Slightly squinting his eyes, Aokiji smiled self-deprecatingly, "Ah la la~ It's an honor, I have the chance to fight with you." His eyes flicked to Pluto, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "Perhaps including Mr. Rayleigh?"

Pausing for a moment, pretending to be inadvertently bent down, approaching the person imprisoned by him in an almost whispering gesture, and said coldly, "If I use force now, her neck will probably be broken right away?"

Under the thin skin layer, the blood was half-coagulated due to the invasion of his ability, but Aokiji could sense the slow flow of vitality in the deeper depths, and she was resisting him with a force beyond his cognition.

As one of the highest combat powers in the navy, a full attack can instantly freeze the sea area. At this moment, it seems that the ice seal has lost its effect. The elementalization has only eroded to the surface. She seems to be wrapped in a thin layer of ice, and the inside is not damaged at all.

He could even feel the strange aura emanating from her veins, slowly breathing in a vortex shape, and finally condensed in one place, sticky, cold, and full of hostility, as if something sleeping was opening its eyes.

I believe that it won't be too long before she can break free from his restraint.

…………

Quickly hiding the surprise in his heart, Qingzhi quietly looked at the two people who formed a leaning corner with him.

Presumably because his companion's life was threatened, Gol D Roger stood there motionless and did not speak, the corners of his lips were drawn into a straight line, and his dark eyes were full of anger, burning like a flame.

The situation seems to have reached an impasse.

After a long time, it was Silbazz Leili who broke the silence first, "So, what are you going to do? Kuzan." The hand on the hilt left the weapon, took two steps forward and then stopped, under the lens There was a sharp scrutiny in his eyes, "Do you want Roger to draw his sword and kill himself?"

"No, I just ask you to leave now." Aokiji replied calmly, not feeling at all whether the act of threatening other people's lives would be degrading his identity at the moment, "History cannot be changed."

"What about her?" Silbazz Raleigh lowered his eyes slightly.

"She?" He looked down at the ice sculpture frozen between his fingers, then quickly raised his gaze, Aokiji frowned subconsciously, "Of course I'm going back with me, trying to shake history in vain, how could I allow it."

"Aren't you planning to kill her directly?" Silbazz Raleigh's voice was unwavering, and an unknown light flowed in his eyes, sharp and playful.

Hearing this, Qingzhi's eyebrows twitched heavily, and she couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, "I'm also a navy, and it's my duty to arrest criminals. Where she will end up is a matter after the Judiciary Island's judgment."

Silbazz Raleigh's eyes became strange in vain. He looked him up and down a few times, showing a smile that was not a smile, "It took so much trouble just to drive me and Roger away?" the taste of.

"It's really not suitable to play the villain - Kuzan you."

Before he could fully digest the meaning hidden in that sentence, Sirbazz Raleigh tilted his head and said to the black-haired king with ease:

"The time flow of this island is disordered, causing spatial overlap. I also saw the iceman more than 70 years ago in the palace."

"Ariel Voloman, who is famous in half of the great waterway, is a person with the ability to freeze fruit."

"The admiral of the navy more than [-] years later accidentally ate the same devil fruit. Isn't it amazing? When people with abilities in the same space and different time meet, what will happen?"

"Ariel Worrowman was the first one to disappear when the admiral touched him on purpose."

"The meeting of capable users in the same space but at different times will cause one of them to be excluded. This is the case with Devil Fruits, let alone the same person."

…………

When Silbazz Raleigh said this, Gol D Roger's eyes suddenly widened, and there were complex emotions in the deep black pupils, which made people feel dazzling.

Aokiji had no expression on his face and let Silbazz Raleigh stare at him, but his eyes gradually darkened; however, the person staring straight at him didn't seem to mind his killing intent at all, and went straight on:

"His keeping her has nothing to do with whether history has been changed or not. It is actually protection."

"Assuming that she already existed in our place more than [-] years ago, the same person in different time periods cannot coexist. This is probably the real reason why she appeared and had to disappear before."

"The consciousness of the world itself chooses her in the past."

"Roger, our companion lives in the future. Even if we forcefully stay, the weaker one will be annihilated. Under the effect of time paradox, she will eventually die."

Silbazz Raleigh slowed down his tone, glanced at his fingertips, and said in a low voice, "It seems that you can't go with us."

"I know."

The thin voice was close at hand, and the tone was trembling, almost inaudible.

The pitch-black book that was released from invisibility appeared without warning. The title page was opened, flipped rapidly, and disappeared after a while.

The invisible sharp object pierced into the chest and abdomen in an instant, causing a piercing pain. Aokiji lowered his head in astonishment, only to see the slender fingers that were slowly pulled away, and the fingertips were stained with viscous bright red liquid and sprinkled on the toes little by little.

She raised her head slowly and met his gaze. Her dark blue pupils seemed to be waking up from a big dream, and when she looked over through the thin water vapor, her eyes were full of hatred.

"That kind of thing, I knew from the beginning."

…………

After the astonishment, Aokiji felt a tinge of anger in his heart, but looking at her eyes, he lost all response again, something softened in his heart, he let her turn around, step by step out of his reach.

She had just escaped from his ability, her frostbitten face was slightly bruised, it can be said to be bleak, her gait staggered as if every step forward exhausted her strength, but her back was full of tranquility and serenity.

Just now when the two looked at each other, Aokiji clearly saw the deep sorrow and despair in her eyes, at that moment he knew that she was always awake but unwilling to face it, until he ruthlessly smashed her delusion and brought her back to reality .

It should even be said that she is not the only one who understands, even Gol D Roger and Silbazz Raleigh have each guessed a little bit, but no one is willing to say it, and even if it is a one-in-a-billion hope, Want to expect a miracle.

Unfortunately, fate was not on her side.

Since it was confirmed that her life would be in danger if she stayed in the past, Gol D Roger and Silbazz Raleigh, who valued their companions more than anything else, would naturally reject her.

It was he who cut off her way back, so that she could no longer deceive herself and others, and he could not blame her for the breeding of hatred.

Oops~ It seems to be hated even more——Aokiji wants to imitate his colleague Polusalino and smile foolishly, but after trying several times, the effect is not satisfactory. In the end, he can only mutter a few times, stretch his waist, and sit cross-legged to the ground.

Randomly glanced at the waist and abdomen, he tried to mobilize his ability, but the elementalization was repeatedly blocked. The damage caused by the oblique cutting was extremely strange, and a strange breath faintly eroded the wound, causing the cells to be irreparable.

Covering the place where she had stayed with his hand, he bounced away quickly as if being scalded, sighed secretly, and ignored it, he raised his eyes slightly, and his eyes fell on the girl who was already standing on the ground. on the person in front of Jay.

She turned her back to him and couldn't see her expression, and her thin back wrapped in a black cloak was as still as a statue. After a long time, she heard her say, "Maybe the admiral admitted the wrong person?"

With a thin voice and a sad tone, "What if I'm not who he thought I was?"

…………

The black-haired king standing in front of her didn't answer, just kept silent, but Pluto glanced at him, and said meaningfully, "This question should be asked to Kuzan."

His eyelids jumped abruptly, and he replied in a slow and elongated voice, "We met when she was eight years old. Although it was 20 years ago, I haven't developed dementia yet."

"The devil's son...ah no, it should be called the 'fraudster' Nicole Robin now." He narrowed his eyes slightly, and fixed his eyes on the person who refused to look back, "How could I mistake the color of the soul? .”

Pluto looked at him for a long while with a half-smile, until he could hardly maintain the indifference on his face, then he finally looked away. Shi Shiran stepped forward and pressed her head, with a slightly hoarse voice, which was rare Showing a sense of guilt:

"The so-called soul color is the innate potential of all people, and it is also the power we call 'dominant energy'. Some people with better aptitude can rely on it to become strong, and some people can't detect it in their entire lives."

"It's just that, no matter whether you are amazingly talented or mediocre, each popular color is unique, and it is a special print that the world bestows on the soul."

"He didn't have to use this to trick you."

When Pluto's words finally ended, Aokiji noticed that her shoulders trembled imperceptibly, and then she turned around suddenly in the silence between Pluto and the black-haired king, and walked back towards him without saying a word.

She walked a few meters away from him and stopped, but she didn't look back and just stood quietly. For a long time, she looked at the air blankly, her lips parted and closed slightly, "Forgive me for not being able to watch you go, Captain Roger. "

A sickly blue color appeared on her face, her pupils lost focus, she opened her eyes in a daze, and said dreamily, "I'll say it again, it's really great to meet you."

Aokiji looked behind her, Gol D Roger and Silbazz Raleigh, who had complicated faces and finally chose to turn around and walk towards the exit of the palace, quickly looked away again.

She tried her best, but the result she got was the opposite.

For a moment of silence, Aokiji seemed to see a hideous wound on her body that was torn apart by time, which would never heal, only the madness of extreme pain poured out.

The wrong time and space, slowly separated as the black-haired king gradually drifted away. When the figures of the two people began to produce strange waves, the black cloak moved, and she seemed to turn her head to see it, but she couldn't bear it anymore. live.

"The next time we meet will be before the sun falls." She muttered to herself in a voice that only he could hear.

The hand that was half hidden and half hidden in the sleeve that was hanging down to the side was clenched tightly, and the slender fingers were clenched into small fists, and wisps of bright red leaked through the gaps between the fingers.

Looking at the winding and falling blood, which seemed to flow wantonly instead of tears, Aokiji could hardly hear a sigh, but felt indescribable pity.
