[comprehensive] red tide

"Master—" the corner of Pei Jin's mouth twitched a few times, his voice was lowered, and his tone seemed very helpless, "We are pirates..." The unfinished meaning in the words was all contained in the corners of the eyes swept over under the brim of the hat:

The result of going to receive the reward, [-]% is to put myself in it, please don't be funny!

"Hey~ I originally wanted to add something to our ship..." Trafalgar Luo curled his lips and squinted at his deputy who followed him to the side. Seeing that the other party was unmoved, he felt disappointed. With a tusk, he subconsciously poked the unknown 'corpse' at his feet.

You know, the finances are quite difficult recently, and all his savings have been invested on his precious pirate ship, as well as those medical equipment, the latest experimental equipment, and everything is a waste of money...

Poking and poking, Trafalgar Luo suddenly found that the touch was not right, the cold and stiff fingertips gradually plumped up... this feeling... suddenly bowed his head, and what came into view was...

drink? !Trafalgar Law took a deep breath, stood up suddenly as if he was being burned by fire, and hurriedly put his hand behind his back that touched the place that should not be touched, only feeling that the roots of his ears were hot.

"Dang, master!" Pei Jin's voice was a little trembling, maintaining a half-squatting position, turning his face to stare at him at an angle so weird that he would sprain his neck, and he was obviously frightened.

Trafalgar Luo collected himself, took several deep breaths to stabilize his mind, and then slowly squatted down again, "We actually found a man of the hour, this guy is really amazing!"

"The devil fruit ability to change from male to female? Isn't it said that it is space? From this point of view, the rumors may not be credible...Transformation or something...It's really convenient."

As he said this, Trafalgar Law's eyes only dared to stare at that pale and bloodless face.

babble, babble...

In the end, it was Pei Jin who was full of black lines and woke up resolutely. Trafalgar Luo was a little stuck in his thoughts, "Can you save her?"

Concise and concise.

Rubbing his chin and thinking for a while, Trafalgar Luo stood up silently and patted the dust from the corner of his clothes. "Take her and let's go back. It's a waste to leave such a valuable person here."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left the scene quickly, leaving Pei Jin screaming in the back, "Master! At least take off that coat on you, I don't have any extra clothes, hello!"

In this regard, Trafalgar Law said that he turned a deaf ear and walked faster and faster.

…………

Turning back along the way they had come, it took a long time for Pekin, who was left behind, to catch up with Trafalgar Michumi's novel Lun Tuyunluo, and the two walked side by side.

Trafalgar Law squinted out of the corner of his eyes as he walked, and Pei Jin, who was silently exuding obvious resentment, was silent.

The person he picked up in the forest was wrapped in Peijin's coat indiscriminately, and he carried it on his shoulder like a bag of rice... This kind of carrying method is really um~ worthy of being a hunter.

Does this guy understand how to write [Gentle]?Shouldn't women be hugged by princesses?Trafalgar Law silently mourned for a few seconds in his heart for the future partner of his deputy.

It was very quiet in the forest, so quiet that it was almost abnormal.

Except for the rustling of the lush vegetation hurriedly brought up by them as they marched, there was no other movement after that. It was so lush and green that after walking for so long, no birds, beasts, or even the chirping of insects could be heard.

Such a strange atmosphere made the two people who were relatively relaxed gradually start to guard, but the journey was very calm. When they walked out of the hinterland and were about to approach the first secret sentry they set up on the edge, the phone in Trafalgar Luo's pocket The bug finally sounded.

It's a message from Xia Qi.

"Master, come and have a look, there's something strange here." The phone bug dutifully transformed Xia Qi, who was ordered to patrol the cordon along another route, with an extremely surprised expression.

Trafalgar Law and Pekin both speeded up their actions and rushed there.

…………

After arriving at the location reported by Xia Qi using the internal code, Trafalgar Luo understood why the tone of the communication seemed particularly surprised or even fearful.

That location was originally a mountain stream, and the vegetation was particularly lush. Because it was close to the water source, animals in the forest often appeared in groups. However, at this moment, the scenery here is still the same, but there is no life.

It seems that there are some strange invisible and intangible things attached to it. The shrubs, moss, and soil are withering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the air smelling from the nose is full of that bleak atmosphere.

Fortunately, the mutation was controlled within a certain range. According to the height they stood, it looked like a radius of about ten meters. The scary thing was that the source of such a strange situation was unknown, and no one could guarantee that it would not spread.

Xia Qi led a few crew members to watch from a distance, and when they heard the movement, they gathered around, "The head of the house."

Trafalgar Luo nodded, then walked towards the place where the mutation occurred, stood on the edge of the dangerous zone, squatted down, and carefully inspected the changed soil.

Staring at the soil that gradually became lighter in color, Trafalgar Luo hesitated for a moment, then slowly stretched out his hand...

"Home!"

His actions were stopped by Pei Jin who was catching up with him. He looked left and right for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and said, "This position is the direction where the frightened birds flew."

Trafalgar Law was stunned for a moment, and slowly narrowed his eyes, "Indeed—"

The two looked at each other, and were surprised at the same time, if so...

"Where's Nicole Robin?" Trafalgar Luo was startled again, glancing at Pekin's empty shoulder.

"Throw it to Xia Qi... eh?!" Pei Jin turned around abruptly. Before the two of them had time to react, they heard Xia Qi and the crew members suddenly exclaim, "Master! Behind you..."

later…? !Trafalgar Luo turned his head subconsciously, staring at the scene behind him, his eyes widened slightly:

There are countless scattered hairsprings floating in the air, or in other words, there are many flying flocculent filaments gradually emerging, from transparent to a little black, even if there is no wind, they are still along the Some kind of trajectory floats, as if it has self-awareness, and condenses into a whirlpool.

And at the very center, there is a very thin and black silk thread, created from nothing, one end slowly absorbs those hairsprings, and the other end gradually floats in the air, and the radiation is connected to a certain point...

Turning his head, when he found the end point, Trafalgar Luo's eyes widened in vain, and his first reaction was, "Xia Qi! Throw that woman away!"

Second reaction is to raise your hand, 'Room—'

…………

The name of the move was already on the tip of his tongue, but at this moment, Trafalgar Luo seemed to feel a soft touch brushing against his ears, if there was nothing, it was light and shallow, and there was a black thread in the corner of his eyes that was fleeting , Illusion-like, unspeakable sadness poured into my mind along the touched skin of the pinna.

In an instant, Trafalgar Luo seemed to hear someone's mourning cry, the endless pain like running water, that is, this short one or two seconds of distraction, and all the abnormalities ended there.

Whether it is attached to the thread of life in the mountain stream, or Nicole Robin as the center of the supply, there will be no consequences that Trafalgar Luo can't imagine.

Xia Qi, who was holding a ticking time bomb, was safe and sound, and even looked dazed.

Trafalgar Luo stopped Pei Jin who was rushing over to take some action, took the source of terror from Xia Qi's hand by himself, and first lifted off the clothes covering her to check the situation. eyes.

"Sure enough, it's healing, Peijin. We picked up a girl like a spider." Covering the clothes back, Trafalgar Luo raised his eyes. Seeing Peijin's disapproval and other people's inexplicable onlookers, he felt relieved He laughed with interest.

Not long ago, the person with burns and knife wounds all over his body, except for a few more serious injuries that have not fully healed, other minor injuries can no longer be seen, at least on the surface...

Thin black silk threads absorb life to complement her incomplete, terrifying abilities.

Being able to snatch vitality from all things to supply her body, it's no wonder that the birds are frightened and flying. Presumably the mountain stream is where she first appeared, but she moved to the spring for some reason.

…………Dividing line…………

'You can't do things halfway. '——Trafalgar Law.

Captain Trafalgar, who insisted on this point of view, resisted all opinions (in fact, only Pekin was the one who really opposed it), and brought the unknown dangerous person back to their temporary residence of the pirate group.

Afterwards, under all kinds of gazes with unclear meanings, he threw the person into an empty room on the second floor, and Trafalgar Law, who finished all these tasks alone, locked the door, and controlled the entire room to a certain level with his own ability. Unable to break through, he finally went downstairs and announced to the crew:

Unless the person in the room on the second floor wakes up and opens the door, other people are not allowed to approach, and any violation will be at their own risk.

'If you don't want to be eaten, just stay away from her honestly. '

During the dinner, Trafalgar Luo smiled and warned the white bear who heard the rumor and ran to him to ask.

Touching the furry bear head, looking at the panic in the bear boy's black glass-like eyes, Trafalgar Law admitted that he seemed to have committed a bad taste again.

…………

The room on the second floor became a forbidden area for a while, and no matter how curious and anxious they were waiting, the person inside remained silent, and it was unknown whether they were asleep or just...

Until the navigator reported that the pointer record was about to be full, and he would be able to leave Jinlu Island in a few days, the door still had not been opened.

It was also a sunny afternoon, and Trafalgar Law walked out of the laboratory very rarely, and went to the garden downstairs to bask in the sun under the shade of vines. The few people who were chatting and relaxing here were the same as last time Get out of the seat, squeeze into other rattan chairs to continue afternoon tea.

Trafalgar Law was sitting on the sofa alone, his drowsiness was still driven away by the loose atmosphere, but this time his attention was always condensed behind the window on the second floor.

As the days passed, his anticipation gradually turned into worry.

They were about to leave, and if it was too unfortunate that the sleeping person couldn't wake up, they might miss it. After all, they couldn't take people to the submarine without being sure.

He should have dropped that sticky guy, but...

Maybe it's fate?The person I just thought of that day, met soon after. It is a rare thing in the Great Channel. Even if that person is a bit amazing, Trafalgar Luo still hopes that the two sides will meet once that person wakes up.

Of course, the reason was not something the crew speculated privately. The real reason for those messy things was the information he obtained through special channels.

Facts about Nicole Robin that have not been widely publicized by the navy and are strongly denied by the navy, and even only circulated among pirates.

Yi Shenlu, Island of Eternal Night, Chambord Land, Moby Dick the White Whale.

It was Trafalgar Luo who deliberately inquired about all kinds of inside information.

Nicole Robin's behavior can be said to be in line with his temper. Trafalgar Luo is willing to get acquainted with such a person with clear grievances and grievances, even if he is regarded as a thorn in the side of the Pirate Navy.

…………

"Yi——" Beppo's cry startled Trafalgar Law, who was in a trance.

The slack eyes were slightly concentrated, and a large orange was shrouded in front of his eyes. His white bear rushed towards him with the momentum of Mount Tai, and his chubby body slid into his waist like when he was a child...

Swallowing the blood that was almost spurted out, Trafalgar Luo glared at the few people who were happily playing with the white bear a few minutes ago, and his guard suddenly exploded.

"What did you - what did you do to Beppo?" Trafalgar Law covered his head with one hand and hid it behind his waist, almost pushing him out of the sofa. Halo, the devil fruit ability is ready to go.

"Home?!"

"No, master!"

"Beibo just suddenly blew up for some reason!"

Several crew members cried and howled, almost swearing at the sky.

"Really?" Trafalgar Luo raised the corners of his mouth sullenly, rubbing the white bear's head with his backhand, "Bepo—"

After waiting for a while, the white bear, which was shaking like an autumn wind, was finally appeased. It crawled out from a safe position, raised its paws, and aimed at a direction, "The captain..."

Looking in the direction his bear cub was pointing at, Trafalgar Luo narrowed his eyes, and after a long time, he retracted his gaze, feeling somewhat emotional, "Is it really an animal's intuition?"

Sensitive to impending danger.

In the room on the second floor, at some point, the outer wall was covered with thin black silk threads, swallowing everything silently, including the protection that Trafalgar Law placed there, which was also eroded and melted away before he was aware of it. Two clean.

Like a huge cocoon, the room on the second floor was completely wrapped in, and a few minutes later, under the gaze of the crowd who quickly gathered in the garden, the black cocoon trembled, and the blackness began to decrease layer by layer. You can even see countless fragments of furniture items hanging on the silk thread...

After a while, those silk threads melted inch by inch, and the debris that lost their support fell one after another, like rain, some of them hit the garden and fell to the ground in pieces.

…………

"It seems that our guest is awake, and as the captain, he should go and entertain him."

Trafalgar Luo tidied up his appearance, Shi Shi suddenly got up, and walked towards the place where even the walls were pitifully smashed, which could no longer be called a room.

Whether it is devouring everything or the son of the devil, who cares about these pirates, as long as they can get each other's approval, then the two parties are friends.

Nicole Robin... I hope that the guest who wakes up will not disappoint him.
