[comprehensive] red tide

At the moment when the power of nature explodes, I believe that a human being can really do nothing.

He led her up and down in the boundless black waves.

It was like falling into a huge turbine, the turbulent torrent brought up the power to turn everything into powder, the water pressure coming from all directions was like a pair of invisible hands tearing and stirring, Aokiji tightened his arms and pressed the man firmly In his arms, he refused to let go of the confinement even though his flesh and blood were bursting and he was exhausted.

Not long after, under the dual effects of hypoxia and water pressure, accompanied by the severe pain and suffocation of bone fracture and bone spurs piercing into flesh and blood, the near-death paralysis spread from vein to vein.

Trying to keep his eyes wide open, the black spots imprinted on the retina continued to spread uncontrollably. Gradually, Aokiji only felt that his body was getting heavier and heavier, and his consciousness was getting more and more blurred.

...This time... probably dead, right?He was thinking in a trance, and for a moment he couldn't remember in his muddled mind whether he rushed towards her at that moment just now, whether he wanted to save someone, or whether he wanted to bring her down with him.

he probably...

The moment the heart stopped beating, the water that squeezed the body suddenly contracted and then loosened. The lung lobes that had almost exhausted their last trace of vitality couldn't wait to absorb oxygen, and Aokiji began to cough violently.

Swallowing the thick blood rushing to his throat, Aokiji shook his head, trying to wake himself up as quickly as possible.

As the pain of suffocation faded away, the blurred vision slowly became clear, but the scene that caught his eyes made him unable to tell the truth from the fake for a moment.

He and she are still submerged in the ocean current, and the whole body is covered with a shallow orange-yellow shimmer, like an enchantment, relieving the current crisis of life hanging by a thread.

The halo is close to him and her, like an embroidered outline, the winding track separates the murderous undercurrent from the turbulent vortex, allowing him and her to sink and sink in the ocean current without being caught Shredded with great force.

The veil-like brilliance came from the rocking car she was refusing to let go of, it was like the unique tree sap coating of the Chambord Islands, but it was obviously just light.

As the orange accentuates the color, the strange sense of existence inside the tightly closed curtain gradually becomes clear.

Weird, unheard of situation.

…………

Wrapped by the rapid turbulence of the current, it is impossible to accurately calculate the time. The only thing I can do is to drift with the current uneasy.

While waiting anxiously, for some reason, the turbulence that had been calmed down suddenly set off a more ferocious ups and downs, and it was like falling into a high-speed rotating propeller in an instant, twirling and spinning, and the sky was spinning.

Even under the protection of the halo, Aokiji still feels how terrifying the huge momentum of the seabed is, it can almost instantly defeat the water force of the warship group, and meanders on the seabed...

Is it a sea of ​​snakes, or a white dragon?After thinking about it, Aokiji quickly overturned his guess, how could it be possible?How could there be such a dangerous sea in the waters near the capital of seven waters?

It's just that at this moment... being swept up and sinking to the bottom of the sea, how long can the protection of the halo last?

The not-so-good premonition was quickly dispelled by the violent rotation, and the feeling of being held upside down and swayed in the air really made Aokiji unable to think about it. Fortunately, he still remembered not letting go. Although the person tried to break free several times, in the end he always He was defeated by his insistence, and gradually became obedient.

Like a roller coaster, it was thrown up and down countless times. The rapid and changeable ocean current finally swooped into the deep and dark waters like a child who had had enough of playing, and traveled along an invisible track. It disappeared without a trace in a few breaths.

During this period, Xu Shi's luck finally improved. He and she were somehow thrown away, flew out with the force and fell heavily on a thick rock wall, and survived the catastrophe.

But the orange light also went out at the same time, and it was so dark in front of my eyes.

Thankfully there is air.

The unknown deep sea bottom, where he and she fell, has a strong smell of sea salt and a deep bleak smell in his breath.

…………

The back of Aokiji's back was severely cracked by this gravitational impact. It was just like a knife cutting the wound, but it was worn away by the rough and uneven rock section for a moment...

Well~ Although the description is not very appropriate, Aokiji deeply thought that his back must be like a broken tomato, and the worst situation was even worse, because the moment the back part was introduced into the cold touch of the rock wall, he was weak and limp It's hard to even lift a finger.

With a slight movement, sharp fractures would grind his flesh and blood, and his blood flowed happily along the wound, wisps of coldness replaced body temperature and slowly eroded his heart.

Okay, okay~ Even if you can't see it, you should understand it, right?The rock wall he was leaning against was, of course, yes, a whole block of rocks!

Coughing twice, Aokiji laughed softly, "Miss is not injured, is she?"

He let go of her wrist before she realized it, and said in a calm tone, "If you can still move, why don't you kiss me while you can't see me now?"

The man snorted coldly, and the temperature covering his chest suddenly disappeared in the next moment.

His hearing caught the almost imperceptible rustling of the corners of the cloak, and the man quickly retreated to a certain distance with the small rocker, and asked him faintly after a while, "Do you know where this is?"

After a pause, he said in a low voice, "You're hurt." The ending sound was affirmative.

"Eh~ I don't know~" he answered calmly, even his breathing rate was the same as usual, "I got hurt a little, it's a medal for bravely protecting the little lady~" He snorted frivolously, repeating what he just said Proposal, "Kiss me, young lady."

…………

What responded to him was the footsteps of the person walking away, each step was almost silent, but the speed was very fast, as if unaffected by vision, and disappeared behind a certain barrier in his knowledge-colored investigation in a few breaths.

"Hey~ What a ruthless woman—" Aokiji muttered in a casual tone, different from the flat tone, he showed a sad expression in the darkness where he would not be seen.

After waiting for a long while, after confirming that the person would not come back, he sat down slowly and slumped.

He had already run out of strength, due to the restraint of the sea building stone and the massive blood loss, if it wasn't for the support of the rock wall behind him, he might have fallen down in embarrassment just now.

With that person's keenness, how could she not detect the smell of blood, but she still walked away without turning her head... In the end, in that person's heart, he is really an enemy, right?I'm just afraid that I can't wait for him to die sooner. If I realize that he is injured and don't do anything, it may be because of his domineering.

He dismissed her but not for the sake of a man's face.

There seems to be something hidden in the depths of the ink that is so thick that it cannot be melted away. Even though it is invisible and substanceless, Aokiji's nerve endings are gradually tense, and the intuition of fighting all the year round keeps sending out warnings.

Regardless of whether that person noticed the same thing or not, it's better to leave him alone...

At least, at least his little lady will survive... She is so alert and has the ability to transform space, and when she finds a corner that is not restricted by Hailoushi, she will soon be out of danger.

Sighing deeply, Aokiji smiled, turned his hand into his pocket and groped for a round object, and pressed his fingertips on the blunt top to apply a little force.

The eyes suddenly lit up, and the soft halo spread out, illuminating a radius of tens of meters.

This is the light shell he carried with him, and the reason why he didn't give it to her was because the light brought danger in a dark environment. If there was something hidden, the side that was seen clearly would be the target, an excellent target.

…………Dividing line…………

Taking advantage of the quiet time, Aokiji began to look around.

The environment is quite empty, it looks like a hollowed-out mountainside, except for the rock wall behind him, the range of illumination of the light shell is actually very far, far enough to see the place where the man disappeared, the dark cave entrance, deep Unfathomable, even with his knowledge and knowledge, he couldn't cover it, only a dozen meters inward.

Except for the hole where the man left, the place seems to be eroded by insects and wind. Large and small holes are distributed on the mountain wall. From the top of the head to the surface, the sea water is dripping, but the amount is not much. It looks like the sea current just now. Remains after rolling.

But... there is nothing, nothing abnormal can be seen in the past, and the color of knowledge and knowledge can't capture the life reaction; this place is like a round spherical sieve, the sea current leaked in and out along the hole just now, only the things wrapped in it people drop.

Ah la la~ So... should I be glad that I didn't get stuck in a narrow tunnel when I fell in and was crushed directly?Touching his chin, Aokiji smiled silently, then hissed again, and the corners of his opened mouth were twisted by the pain.

After grinning for a while, he lowered his head and sighed. Since the things hidden in the dark corner did not appear, he should really worry about his injuries first.

Putting Guangbei on the ground in front of him, with his free hands, he slowly tidied up his rippling coat so that it was not so messy. While doing these things, Aokiji mobilized his ability and began to repair his body.

Although it is soaked from inside to outside, there is a whole block of sea tower stone rock wall outside the half arm behind the back, it is still possible to elementalize only inside the body, the only nemesis, if there is no contact, it will naturally not be able to get up How useful.

Restoring several important viscera, putting aside the skin trauma for the time being, and adjusting to a good condition, he still has to chase that person.

The heartless woman who left him behind.

…………

The wounded viscera are transformed through the natural devil fruit, regenerated after elementalization, the internal trauma disappears, the blood rushes in the veins, and the health is full of vitality.

Exhaling lightly, Aokiji raised his head and quietly looked at the person bathed in the halo who was slowly walking towards him.

The black cloak skirted along the ground, her pace was unhurried, until she stopped about one meter away from him, she did not move or speak, her pale face shrouded in soft light, her dark blue pupils were shattered. The light shadow floats lightly.

After a while, she snorted lightly, her tone was cold and cold, "I wanted to turn around and collect your corpse, but you are still alive, you are so stubborn, Admiral." After she finished speaking, she pursed her lips slightly, her expression seemed genuine. sorry.

She looked him up and down a few times, then turned around and left, leaving only one sentence, "Follow up, or I really don't care about you."

Qingzhi quickly recovered from his stupefaction, grabbed Guangbei and quickly chased after her, and rushed to the position beside her, did not speak, just peeked out of the corner of his eyes, secretly happy.

She used very rude words, but he could clearly see the carelessness in her eyes, even though it might not have any special meaning, it also made his heart beat faster.

Perhaps his eyes were too greedy. After she noticed it, she stared at him habitually, frowned, and immediately accelerated her pace to stagger the distance between them.

He didn't care when he saw it, but after falling down, he looked at her even more unscrupulously, concentrating on engraving the figure of that person wrapped in a pitch-black cloak into his eyes inch by inch.

The shoulder-length black hair almost melted into the cloak, and there was a line of porcelain white on the neck that fluctuated with the movement of the hair, and the delicate and soft skin was lined with ink, which made people feel impetuous like provocative.

The soft light produced by Guangbei covered her with a layer of warmth. Hidden in the wide cloak, she had a slender waist and long legs...

Taking a deep breath, in order to calm down the heat of her body, Aokiji could only open her mouth to try to divert her attention, "Where's the child?" She came back empty-handed, where did she put the small rocker?

"It's safe." She walked into the cave without looking back.

…………

The air in this tunnel is turbid and humid, and the ground surface is also muddy. The rock wall is dark and smooth through the light, and as the light moves, you can occasionally see coral anemones attached to it, wet and flickering fluorescent.

The steps at the foot are directly carved out of the mountain wall, winding upwards, and the end is hidden in the clear and deep mid-air.

The humidity in the air decreases as you go up, and the creatures in the sea change sequentially, from the seabed ecosphere to the seaweed barnacles along the coast. The color of the rock walls on both sides gradually changes from dark to light, revealing the original gray of the mountain. Dusky color.

The long staircase changed from slippery and sticky sea mud to hard and dry rock, and after walking about a third of the distance, the air finally brought a slight flow of wind.

The person jumped over several stone steps and disappeared at the exit. Aokiji immediately followed, stepped out of the tunnel and stood beside her. As soon as he turned his eyes, he found the small rocking cart she was talking about. The place just happened to be stuck in a very safe place.

After confirming, Aokiji turned his eyes away and looked outside.

The soft light emitted by the light shell is unobstructed. There is a platform outside the tunnel, which is only the size of a room. The outside is a decaying slope, or it should be said that it is a half-decadal and half-collapsed building complex. This place is like an upside-down bowl, except for the Haili exit, everything is tightly blocked.

In other words, this is a corner of an abandoned city. I don’t know if it was a volcanic eruption or a tsunami disaster. In short, the entire island fell into the deep sea, and because of some incomprehensible development, it collapsed and the mountain was suspended. A small building in the dead corner remained.

After seeing clearly, Aokiji's heart sank slightly.

The situation is almost a confined space... When the sea water fills up again, he and she can only hide here on the platform.

…………

"Ah la la~ This really makes people not know what to do." He sat down cross-legged while smiling, put the light shell on the side casually, raised his hand and slowly rubbed the forehead that started to tingle for no reason.

Perhaps it was because the sea breeze was too cold for a moment, or it might be that the hidden danger left by the forced healing of the injury was a little unstable due to the predicament. He only felt... the cochlea was buzzing...

"what happened?"

The man's voice cut through the haze of consciousness.

"It's nothing." Aokiji let go of her hand, raised her eyes and saw her leaning slightly, staring at him for a while, Su Bai's fingertips slightly touched his forehead.

"The temperature is a bit high." Her voice was low and her tone was calm.

It's just that she was too close, so close that his breath soaked her breath, raw and dark, wrapped in a faint fragrance, like ashes.

Her fingertips seemed to press on his heart.

Qingzhi's pupils shrank suddenly, and an unknown thing broke free from the custody in an instant, like a vine winding around and growing wantonly, densely layered and rooted among the blood vessels, and a sudden high fever swept the whole body.

…………

He grabbed the wrist of the man who was too late to evacuate, forcefully pushed into his arms, rolled the soft body and fell to the ground.

While resisting and struggling, the light shell was kicked away, the soft light became dim, and the blurred light reflected all the ugliness.

He clasped her hand tightly, pressed his forehead against hers, and said in a hoarse voice, "You know, little miss, I told myself that as long as you come back to me, no matter how despicable means you use, you will never come to me again." Let go of you."

She was firmly trapped in the shadow by him, her dark blue pupils were a little slack, her breath overflowing from the corners of her lips was messy and broken, but her expression was cold and tired, as if she was not interested in anything, including his harm to her.

The delusional thoughts that had been hidden in his heart for too long instantly overwhelmed his reason, and the sobriety he tried his best to keep was finally lost.

He is like a wild beast that has been lurking for a long time and finally caught its prey, biting, hitting, turbulent and entangled...

Her fragrance, her hair, frowning brows, slightly trembling lips, round snail bones...

He savored it carefully.

Trapped in incomparable happiness, Aokiji heard himself gasping for pleasure.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she never cried.

Until the moment when he was addicted to madness and couldn't extricate himself, the heart suddenly stabbed, Aokiji woke up from the confusion, stopped his movements, and looked at his heart dullly...

A piece of plain white wrist submerged in the chest, round snail bones...

Warm blood overflowed and drenched the man's hands... After possessing the Ice Devil Fruit, the chill that I hadn't felt for many years spread through the limbs and bones...

Aokiji laughed at himself, "Miss...it's been 20 years, and I'm still dead by your hands..."

Trying to open his eyes wide, at the moment before his consciousness drifted away, Aokiji saw the man pull out/pull out the hand that pierced his heart, and the scarlet fingertips were connected with a strand of charcoal filaments...

The next moment, his sanity was engulfed by a large swath of darkness.

…………

Floating in the boundless abyss, Aokiji felt that he was having a long and wonderful nightmare.

Pieces and pieces, no beginning and no end.

The only thing that is profound is Nicole Robin's pair of dark blue pupils, O'Hara 20 years ago, and Wish Island 20 years later, the look that fascinated him has not changed at all.

20 years ago she wanted to kill him, and 20 years later she finally... He was clearly waiting to die, why does his heart still hurt so much?

……pain?The vague consciousness froze suddenly because of this perception, and after a while, the numb body seemed to start to receive more...

First, the heart ached like it was burning, and then the cheeks were slapped hard...

Aokiji tried his best to break free from the chaos, his frozen blood gradually flowed, and his thinking began to function.

After an unknown period of time, the dark field of vision slowly lit up, and the nightmare faded away without a sound. He first saw the man looking down at him from a high position, with a calm and unwavering indifference between his brows.

The hand that regained his consciousness was raised high in front of his eyes, and she looked carefully at his eyes, and felt the pulse of his side neck. Finally, she said in an understated voice:

"You are parasitized and you don't even know it. The general's carelessness really amazes me."
