Silver Theorem

On the second night on the island, when Mia woke up, she found a familiar figure beside her...

"Leopard Boy~"

She seemed overjoyed, and threw herself on the gentle and lovely cheetah.

Why do this kind of thing again... Lu Qi was a little confused.There should be nothing special about this girl, but I always let myself pay attention to her unconsciously, probably because... very few people break into my life in this way.Originally, he was stationed on Judicial Island apart from carrying out his tasks, and had almost no personal contact with the outside world. How long has it been since such an unintended behavior happened to him?But the problem is that he can't find a reasonable explanation for himself to do such a ridiculous thing. The so-called repayment of the girl's care has actually already been offset by "saving her life in the earthquake" Well, even if you want to keep her warm out of good intentions, there should be a more direct way that won't appear embarrassing...

So, in fact, do I just want to stay by her side... Lu Qi smiled self-deprecatingly, how could it be possible... Lu Qi has been deliberately keeping a distance from Mia, probably even he himself did not realize that this is actually His desire to protect the girl was at work.If she is a powerful person, maybe she can be his partner, but in fact she is just a small character with no use value who must be eliminated to keep a secret.Because Lu Qi pursues perfectionism, he doesn't want to leave any troubles for the future.So far, as the actual team leader of CP9, he has lost countless lives because of implementing his principles.

However, now that the chips of justice have been lost, can the existence of CP9, or their overall way of doing things, make some changes?In this way, what kind of path can they take after they were trained as killing machines since childhood... Lu Qi shook his head, thinking about unnecessary things...

The silver-haired girl didn't notice Lu Qi who was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle at all, but enjoyed stroking the back of the cheetah, suddenly:

"Leopard boy... this scar is!"

Mia lowered her voice to avoid waking up the people on the other side, but her excitement was still evident.She gently traced the huge scar on the back of the cheetah that looks like the symbol of the world government, and a sad look climbed onto her delicate face...

Is she feeling sad for me... Lu Qi stared at the girl quietly, but the next moment, the girl returned to smiling and patted Cheetah on the back:

"Well~ It seems to be a very old injury, you are used to it~"

Lu Qi (inside): This woman...￥@@##￥*&(...

Mia immediately sighed: "Oh, Leopard Boy... I'm leaving tomorrow~"

Her soft little hand rested on the cheetah's head: "Next time I have a chance, I will come to you again... If there is a chance..."

The voice gradually became low, and before Lu Qi could react, he was hugged tightly by the other party's neck, and Mia almost whispered in his ear: "I'm sorry... for acting like a baby... But, I really hope I can have more time... I still have a lot of things I want to do, really, I really want to have a little more time... I can be on this sea..."

The girl's words were gradually replaced by even breathing.Lu Qi stared at the sleeping face of the girl hugging him for a long time, he didn't expect her to have such a fragile side... What does time... mean?

He didn't know that Kaku on the other side also opened his eyes quietly at this time. He moved his slender body a little, and then lowered the brim of his hat expressionlessly.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— ————————————

"So, why did it become like this?"

"Don't ask me, you haven't compromised yet."

On the beach of the deserted island, the only two men in black were talking, and both of them seemed to be filled with resentment.Just about 20 minutes ago...

……

The 2 CP9 members and the intelligence chief of the Whitebeard Pirates ushered in their last dawn on this island.

"You said there are hot springs on the island?"

Kaku asked suspiciously.

"Yeah~ I smelled a strong sulfur smell when I climbed the mountain yesterday. It should be a naturally formed mountain hot spring. I already know the approximate location~"

Mia answered confidently.

"You want to go?"

Lu Qi was feeding Hattoli and agreed nonchalantly.

Mia: "Well~ I've been floating on the sea for so long, and the past few days have been muddy and soiled. If I don't take a bath, I will die~"

Lu Qi & Kaku (inside): Is it that serious...

"Besides, the hot spring also has a healing effect~" Mia continued.

Kaku: "Well, I've heard of this too, it's not bad to go to a hot spring before leaving~"

Mia: "Yeah~~"

Lu Qi did not object.

Everyone followed Mia's instructions, and they soon discovered the hot spring hidden in the forest.

Mia: "BINGO~"

Kaku: "Oh~ that's great~ I have no resistance to hot springs... It happens that there are several springs here, separated by bushes, so let's go clubbing separately~"

"That..." Mia began to twist her fingers, making a cute gesture: "I'm very shy, so I hope you don't appear within a 500-meter radius when I'm taking a bath~ huh~"

"You're so cute!" Kaku roared, "It's the old man who carried you here, so you want to drive us away!?"

Lu Qi sneered: "Miss, this place is deep in the mountains, we are not here, if you encounter any beasts attacking us, we will not be able to help you..."

"So~ You can't get close to others, but you should also protect them well~ After they finish washing, you can come and wash~" Mia smiled as a saint.

Lu Qi & Kaku (roaring): "Don't act like we have received a lot of favor from you!! You are too pushy!!??"

…………

………………

Time to return to reality.

Kaku: "Because the hot spring is not far from the beach, it's better to come back here and wait."

Lu Qi (holding the forehead): "So, why did we agree to that guy..."

Kaku: "It seems that you nodded in agreement first, Leopard Boy..."

Lu Qi grabbed Kaku's collar with both hands, and saw that the beast war was about to start again...

"Are you still going to kill her?" Kaku's voice suddenly became cold.

"..." Lu Qi let go of him wordlessly: "Do you have a reason not to kill her?"

"I didn't think of any reason to kill her..."

"you are lying."

"No, I don't think she will reveal our whereabouts, and she doesn't know our identities anyway."

"Hmph... Do you think the navy won't issue our reward order? Besides, what if we keep her..."

"I see..." Kaku noticed the change in his companion's tone, and he sneered, "Is it just to satisfy your boring possessiveness..."

"You..." Lu Qi glared at Kaku, and then showed an evil smile: "So what..."

Murderous look rises.

At this time, the two of them suddenly heard a unique sound of flapping wings in the air, and a big bird with a strange dress and a shoulder bag slung over their heads hovered above their heads.

Kaku: "Ah, why don't you read the outdated newspapers first, and then think about what to do..."

Lu Qi: "It doesn't matter..."

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— ————————————

Mia put the clean bandage aside, then slowly took off her clothes...

After removing the bandages, she sighed when she saw her bruised feet.Afterwards, she grabbed her knee hard, desperately trying to move her unconscious calf...Because there is a hot spring around her, under the steaming heat, Mia was already sweating profusely in a short while, but her hard work finally paid off. As a result, she seems to have regained a little mobility below her knees.Although Kaku and the others didn't tell her where the permanent pointer is pointing, they can tell with their noses that it must be a town with convenient transportation. Maybe all CP9 members will gather there by then, and at the latest there they will know that Honey Therefore, she must at least have the ability to escape...

"It's not enough, damn it..."

Mia frowned and moved into the hot spring, because she really didn't want to see the miserable appearance of her feet, she quickly transformed into a fish tail, and then the incomplete tail fin appeared in front of her.

Fortunately, I grew up in the human world. If you look at it from the perspective of a mermaid, this is a terrifying scene...

Let the whole body be submerged in the water, only the head out of the water, the silver hair floats up and down in the water, Mia slowly closes her eyes... the only time to rest is now...

However, God doesn't seem to intend to give her a little leisure time...

Mia suddenly opened her eyes, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and the mermaid leaped high from the water in an instant.The crystal water droplets refracted the sunlight and formed a natural barrier around her, making it impossible for people to see her graceful curves clearly.Mia quickly put on her clothes in the air, but before she could button up her jacket, she punched the uninvited guest in front of her with a sharp murderous look, and the water surface of the hot spring rippled due to the swift momentum...

The punch he swung with all his strength was caught by the opponent with one hand.

"The movements are very slow...is it because of the injury?" came the male voice that made the goosebumps unbearable.

A burly man with an ugly black beard appeared in front of Mia.

"Tiki... actually came here to die..." Mia raised the corners of her mouth, exuding a murderous look as if she wanted to tear the opponent apart: "I really admire your courage."

"Thief hahaha~~ Don't be so fierce, let's meet for the first time, right? Silverghost..." Blackbeard laughed.

Mia withdrew her fist, and jumped back onto a rock at the height of a person 10 steps away from Blackbeard.

"Aren't you going to continue attacking... Hmph, it's really you..." Blackbeard stroked his chin in satisfaction.

The reason Mia distanced herself was because she was aware of the weirdness of the matter - the black beard in front of her had a very strong sense of presence, but she could be sure that he was hiding his aura, if not, Kaku and others They would definitely notice it, but they didn't rush over... And it was only when Blackbeard appeared that he suddenly felt a strong feeling. It wasn't a human breath, but a more... The shock that shocked everyone... It was almost like... Mia felt that if she said that word silently in her heart, she might spit it out on the spot.

Blackbeard: "Because I deliberately kept a distance from you after I discovered your existence, so you have never noticed... And rather than 'courage', I hope you will affirm my hard work. It took a lot of effort to find you, and I came here to explain the truth to you~ But now, compared to my explanation, your actual feelings will make it easier for you to understand... Yes, there is an invisible line between us connected by the red thread~ This is fate! The thief hahaha..."

Mia restrained her nausea: "I don't have time to listen to your bragging. Anyway, this is what you want to say..."

A beam of light burst out of her palm out of nowhere, and rubbed against Blackbeard's ear, leaving a burnt mark the size of a thumb on the stone behind him.

"Why do I suddenly have this ability? Since you are here to tell me the truth, tell me all the information you know!"

"It's so imposing~ thief hahaha~ this is the person I like..." Blackbeard looked at Mia who was looking down at him because she was sitting on a rock, and grinned: "Your kind The ability is the ability of the devil fruit, and 8% comes from artificial devil fruit..."

"Artificial Devil Fruit?"

"That's right, weren't you used as an experimental material shortly after you were born... Although I don't know who was the one who did the research on you, but this ability should have been implanted at that time, about artificial devil fruit Your research has a long history, you should know this too...why?" Blackbeard raised his hand: "Didn't you think I would know your past so well? It doesn't feel good for an intelligence officer to be counter-intelligence Great...thief hahaha..."

"Continue talking." Mia was not interested in discussing intelligence issues with him.

Blackbeard sneered twice, and then said: "However, the devil fruit ability on your body is not perfect, because this ability will not be manifested normally, and it will only be activated near people who have the ability to regenerate and restrain it, so You should be a 'half ability user', and the incomplete ability you possess comes from a pair with my ability—"Shining fruit"!"

"I didn't expect it at first, but when I ate the devil fruit, you happened to be in the Whitebeard Pirates. At that time, I suddenly realized that there are such interesting people in this world... Although It was not convenient to confirm who that person was at the time, but then I quickly locked my target on a girl with silver hair and golden eyes. It's ridiculous. I have been in the Pirates for so long, but I don't know your name, because I I never thought that a little girl would mean so much to me. Just as I can sense your presence, you can also sense me. This is probably the curse of the devil fruit. But maybe because you are 'half' Fruit, so your sensitivity to me is not as strong as mine, so I can observe your whereabouts without being noticed by you."

"It's disgusting~" Mia said angrily, "Then how far can you sense me?"

"About a radius of about 2KM." Blackbeard didn't look like he was lying: "But it doesn't mean that I have an advantage over you. By the way, let me tell you a good thing..."

Blackbeard took out a small wooden box and took out a black stone from the box, Mia's expression changed slightly.

"This is Hailoushi, what's the matter, can't you feel my existence?" Blackbeard asked: "That's why you didn't notice me before, and likewise, I can't perceive you at this time, because I The ability of the fruit has been sealed... That is to say, we need one more condition to feel the other party, that is, the ability of the devil fruit is active. Now you hold this..."

Blackbeard handed the Hailou Stone to Mia, and Mia took it decisively, and a sense of powerlessness that she had never felt before hit instantly.

"This is the feeling of a capable person coming into contact with Hailou Stone, isn't it the first time for you?" Blackbeard said: "But like I said before, your ability will only be activated when you are near me... "

"That is to say..." Mia interrupted him: "When I touch Hailou Stone, you can't sense me, but I can tell that you are nearby by realizing that I have become a capable person. This is my advantage?"

After speaking, he threw the Hailou Stone back to Blackbeard.

"Exactly, if you know this, you can sneak out of my nose."

"Then I really want to thank you for your selfless confession..." Mia showed a sarcastic smile.

"That's all I know...but you still have to obediently listen to what I'm going to say~" Blackbeard raised his fingers, with a confident smile on his face.

"Because my current ability is not enough to defeat you, even though it is the ability to defeat you." Mia was very calm.

"Oh~ you've already realized, um, that's it, when you have the ability of a devil fruit, you will naturally know some things, such as how to use the ability, the limit of the ability and so on. That's why I was able to find out immediately you."

"...Moreover, it seems that I can't turn my body into light. But now, this ability is enough to protect myself." As soon as Mia finished speaking, countless silver light spots gathered around her, matching her golden eyes. , with wet silver hair covering his open chest, his attitude of indifference in front of the enemy exudes a seductive and dangerous aura.

"Hehe, that's true, so even if we fight here, we will only be at a stalemate, and you don't want to disturb those two CP9 animals... But..." Blackbeard's eyes curled up: "It's really beautiful... ..."

"If you don't want your eyes to be blinded, tell me your real purpose, Tiqi!" Mia's tone was not bluffing.

"Yeah, this is better, thief haha~ My proposal is this..." Blackbeard stretched out his hand to Mia: "How about being my partner?"

"Well, I expected it to be like this~" Mia didn't show much surprise, and the surrounding light spots began to flow around her: "Because your only natural enemy in this world is the Admiral? If so... I am the chess piece that can restrain his power."

clap clap clap!

Blackbeard couldn't help applauding: "That's right! I really have you~ But you are not my pawn, a smart woman like you can be my military advisor!"

Ability users of nature fruits can turn their bodies into natural elements, but they can be distinguished from the elements of the natural world. This is because the nature abilities manipulated by devil fruits are not real natural elements.But if they have the same devil fruit ability and the same "shiny fruit", due to the interference of light, once the light produced by Mia comes into contact with the yellow monkey's body, it will have the effect of destroying his body composition.Therefore, as long as Mia is with him, Blackbeard can ensure that the yellow ape will not easily attack him.

"So..." Blackbeard's broken teeth were all exposed, and he opened his arms: "If we work together, we will be absolutely invincible! Don't you want to change the world with me, Mia!?"

His voice is not loud, but it has the power to shock people's hearts.

"But I really don't like you..." Mia didn't take it seriously: "You don't want to think too well, maybe I will go to the navy, and then you will lose everything."

"You wouldn't do that...you can't think of something that even I can think of."

"..."

As Blackbeard said, there is a reason why Mia was offered such a high reward by the navy. Based on this reason, Mia's going to the Navy headquarters is basically to die.

"Don't worry, I didn't tell the navy about your ability, or your bounty will increase again, thief hahaha... Let me tell you this, if you cooperate with me, I can give you two excellent benefits ..."

"I'm all ears." Mia also felt that it was time for Blackbeard to sell Favor.

Blackbeard raised his fingers: "One is the ownership of the world! The other... is eternal life..."

Mia was silent for 3 seconds: "...So that's the case, it's really quite attractive..."

Regardless of dominating the world, Blackbeard did not come to showdown with Mia until now, and proposed eternal life, obviously because he was sure that Mia would be shaken by the running out of time.

He is really forbearing, is the person he admires Sima Yi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, etc... Mia thought to herself.

"Neither of these two points is impossible for me," Blackbeard said, "As long as you nod, I can fulfill my promise soon."

"It is indeed what I want~" Mia did not hide her desire: "But..."

"You can think about it slowly. I will give you 5 days... Thief hahaha, you should be able to live until then~"

5 days... is he still not in a hurry?That's right, I should be the one who is impatient, he just showed me the temptation, then slowly watched me fall, and finally reaped the fruits of victory alone... Mia thought.

"So, let's stop talking today, I look forward to your good news." Blackbeard said and turned around, and then he seemed to suddenly remember something:

"Oh, by the way~ The 'gift' I prepared for you a few days ago... Are you satisfied..."

"!!" Mia was startled, with a fierce look on her face: "Could it be..."

"Ah~ I arranged for you to watch the duel between the four emperors and the general...but that's not a 'dual' at all! Thieves hahahaha!!"

"Tiqi, you bastard!!" Mia was furious, and shouted hoarsely: "It really is you—why did you do such a thing!? Isn't your target only me!?"

"Thief hahaha! That's just to tell you..." Blackbeard turned his head, his eyes gloomy like a bottomless swamp: "To tell you, I can easily destroy the things you cherish..."

what……

The smile of a red-haired man appeared in front of Mia...

Anger, self-blame, regret... Several emotions are intertwined. It turns out that Blackbeard has planned everything, whether it is favorable conditions or threats...

Mia clenched her fists: "Tichi..."

Blackbeard looked up at the sky nonchalantly: "That's right~ why don't you get rid of the little animals in CP9 now... and then I'll just take you away~"

"Don't attack them!" Mia glared at him.

"Oh? Have you developed feelings for them... Hehe, it's really strange, they are your enemies..."

"...I will give you an answer within the time limit...so..." Mia showed a very menacing look: "In contrast, you don't shoot them!"

"Okay~ I promise you~" Blackbeard smiled contentedly: "Don't forget our agreement..."

Then he held Hailoushi, and the light spots around Mia also disappeared, and his breath and figure quickly disappeared in the woods.

Mia jumped off the rock.

Thousands of thoughts were beating in her head, and she couldn't sort it out for a while. She closed her eyes gently, trying to adjust her emotions, and the time agreed with Kaku and the others was coming soon, and they would come to pick her up soon...

Mia, who opened her eyes again, suddenly felt dizzy... It was that feeling again!

She quickly took out the medicine bottle that CHOPPER gave her, and put a pill into her mouth with trembling hands... The speed at which the power was withdrawn slowed down. Although the powerlessness continued, it was no longer as painful as before .

Mia knelt on the ground, gritted her teeth unwillingly:

"Damn! Don't come to hinder me——"

Roaring, he smashed his fist to the ground, but the fist that was supposed to crush the ground only raised a cloud of dust...

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— ————————————

"Ah, I've been waiting for a long time~ The hot spring here is really comfortable~"

Mia greeted Kaku and Lu Qi with a bright smile.

"You guys come to the bar too, I'll just wait by the side, don't worry I won't peek~"

Just kidding, as always.

"We won't make a bubble." Kaku said: "We decided to go as soon as possible."

"Really..." Mia showed a regretful look: "Then, take me to your boat, where is your boat?"

"It's over there..."

Kaku pointed to the distance with his finger, and Mia looked along his finger, at this moment...

"Finger gun!"

The moment Lu Qi's voice sounded, Mia dodged the sudden attack with only a sensitive conditioned reflex, and Lu Qi's arm almost passed by. When he slowly retracted his hand, Mia Seeing the tree trunk behind me pierced by a hole the size of a finger...

Lu Qi shook his hand, with a cold expression on Mia's face that Mia had never seen before: "This doesn't seem like the skill of a merchant's daughter..."

No way... Mia, who was almost killed, was still panting heavily, and she finally realized the meaning of the phrase "the leak in the house happens to rain all night"...

TOBEOR NOT TOBE...

[SILVERCHANNEL will stop broadcasting for one episode, the author of the following interlude declares (can be ignored)]

Disclaimer: As for the ability of the heroine, I actually determined it before Kizaki's appearance, at least before it appeared in the animation, which is the ability of Kiazu later.I didn't know that WT would design a person like Kikuzaru at the time...Although I also thought that if it would conflict with the original characters, if it was a small character, I would just ignore it, but it happened to be the admiral who couldn't be ignored...Of course, WT is For the balance of the story (I thought about it for a long time at the time...), and I didn't want to change the setting, so I decided to design an "artificial fruit", which just explained the heroine's childhood experience... ...And the setting about the mutual induction with the "dark fruit" and the ability to activate the dark fruit was there from the beginning. I just want to connect the heroine and Blackbeard in this way.So, if it makes everyone feel uncomfortable... please forgive me... In addition, spoilers, children's shoes who think that the story will become bigger and bigger from this chapter, you are wrong~ This pit is almost over~ I throw it out The big section above is purely for scaring~
