[One Piece] Inferior Star

In Rossindi's impression, most of the pirates are a group of unreasonable and vicious guys.Although he understands that some pirate groups have some customary rules or "bottom line of life", most of them are not trustworthy people.

As a navy man, and he was killed by a 'pirate', he clearly understands this.However, he is not a person who likes to accuse or judge anyone casually based on rumors or first impressions.When conditions permit, he also wants to get to know them and get to know them.It's just that this kind of thinking may be too naive, because...

Human life is so short.Most of the time, it's just a matter of luck.Trust your own judgment, trust the other person's personality, it's all like gambling.He had gambled enough and he didn't want to gamble any more.His luck is not very good, if he is good, he will not die.

Therefore, in fact, he was a little bit interested in the divination that Youxiang said.If you can know what will happen in the future, even if it is just an omen, a reminder, it will be much better than gambling yourself.

It's just... No matter what kind of divination, it is impossible to predict this situation.

Rossindi looked at his hands, and he came back to life.Although... just thinking about it, a crew member of the Kidd Pirates went straight through his body.Although, it is not really 'alive'.Except for You Xiang, no one can see or hear himself.

Can only touch inanimate objects and Youxiang alone.If it was someone else, they would just pass through it as before.If you want to, you can pass through the wall, and it seems that you don't need to wear it.It can't fly, and it will still become weak when it encounters sea water.The ability of the devil fruit is used normally, but I don't feel any 'demonic power'.so……

Have you really become a 'demon'?It doesn't feel real at all.Specifically, what power does a demon have?When I was a child, I heard many stories with demons as villains. Even if they were deceiving children, the demons in all the stories were all supernatural.Originally, I thought that if it really became that powerful, then maybe that person also...

"You are thinking about using the power of demons to interfere with human affairs."

Suddenly this voice came from behind Rosindi. He was startled, turned his head, and saw a young man with long red hair.He was wearing a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a little disheveled.The color of the hair is very beautiful, as if soaked in a ruby ​​solution, even a little sparkling.

"You, you are..."

"Can't you feel this too? I'm the demon of 'angry'. It's your 'colleague'." Frey tilted his head slightly, and he replied, "Rebirth... I feel quite happy to have a brand new colleague. Good. Besides, you were a human before, and it doesn’t happen every day that you can become a pure demon.”

"I don't quite understand what you're talking about, but..." said Rosindi, "are you the Frey that Cabbage is talking about?"

"Cabbage?" What's that?Frey frowned slightly, "Oh, you mean little girl. Yeah, she named me that. It doesn't matter if you want to. But I'm talking about your problem, don't do it in a human way. If you use your ability, it will become very bad."

"What do you mean?"

"You've been wandering in the dream world before. If it wasn't for the little girl, you, me, and other things like us would never be able to come out of that place. It couldn't die, and it couldn't end. That's for Our 'curse'," Frey explained, "and we're here because the chick 'summoned'. She summoned us as a 'sacrifice.'"

"Sacrifice...? This, this is not a good word. You didn't tell me about it at the beginning... Do I need, take something away from her?" No, she is just a little girl.Why didn't you tell me this at the beginning!Rossindi was a little anxious, he said, "I don't want to hurt her!"

"..." Frey didn't answer right away, he paused, walked to Rossi, that is, the side of the boat where he was standing, leaned on it and said, "This is not something you can choose. 'Rebirth'. It's her fate...she will make her own choice at some point in the future. We can only watch her, that's all."

"I don't understand... So, who is it... I mean, if it's a sacrifice, there must be someone who sacrifices it, right? Could it be her own sacrificed self? No way... If If that's the case, then I'd rather go back to the place before—"

"Not herself." You calm down.Frey interrupted him and said, "She can't choose. It's her destiny, her gift... or her curse. Anyway, there's nothing we can do, even if you and I go back to where we should be." There is no way to change the place.”

"...Who did it?" Sacrifice a young girl to the devil, and then at some point in the future need to take something from her... Who did it?

"No matter who they are, they are no longer here." Frey pointed to the starry sky, and he said, "Probably in that direction, a galaxy far, far away. There is a group of bad humans. But now they can't get here .It's just that their curse is still there."

"Are you trying to tell me that at some point in the future, whether I want to or not, I might hurt that child?"

"I don't know. I said it will be her own choice, what the outcome will be, what will happen to us, this is something we can't decide." Frey shrugged, and he said, "Well, don't think so much. This is a bad problem of you humans. No one can predict the future.”

Rossindi sighed.He lit a cigarette.By the way, he still has three cigarettes, no more, no less.He was a little angry and annoyed, he felt as if he agreed to a somewhat complicated thing too easily: "I... don't want to see her cry. Anyway, I'm a man, and I don't want to see girls crying cry in front of me."

"If it's that, you're doing the best you can. But there's another thing on your mind... isn't there?" Frey said, raising his eyebrows, "that's what I'm talking about. If you get carried away by human feelings and want to accomplish something you didn't accomplish in your life—I just want to warn you, it's not going to end well."

"You're wrong. I died...after I had done everything I wanted to do." Rosindi breathed out a puff of smoke, and he said, "Maybe I do miss someone, but if you're afraid of me getting revenge Yes, you think too much, I don't want to go."

"Really?"

"Why should I lie to you...Although I can't say I don't care at all, I'm afraid I've done everything I can do when I'm alive. I believe that those who are alive...they can take care of themselves .” They probably don’t need me anymore."Of course, if Cabbage wants to do something, I won't stop her. I've promised her that I will help her," Rossindi said.

"...Why didn't you call her name?"

"what?"

"Does calling her name directly scare you?"

"Hey..." What are you saying all of a sudden...

"Human life is fragile. You should understand this. So are you afraid? Escaping in this way will only be counterproductive. If you really want to escape, then don't use any pronouns - anyway, this is you I just want to remind you, after all, you are a newborn, and you haven't felt what the so-called 'eternity' really means."

Is it eternity... I have only been in that place for 11 years and I feel terrible and disgusting. If I stay in that place for an eternity... it is indeed a terrible thing.Whatever it is, it's scary when it's never ending.Rossinanti looked at Frey and said, "So...you actually like cabbages, don't you?"

"I'm a devil, so I don't know what I like or don't like. We just take what we need." Frey denied it, and said, "Always, we are grasshoppers in the same boat. Although I don't I have raised newborn demons, but... I can tell you something."

"...Could it be that you, actually... came...to care for the younger generation (me)?"

Frey didn't answer, because demons can't lie.

"Thank you, senior."

"It's so annoying!" Frey said that I don't care about you, "I don't know how to take care of humans... Even after ten years, I still don't know what that little girl is thinking every day, and I will leave it to you. There are grapefruits Call me again when you have tea."

After speaking he disappeared.Although he is a devil, he feels like... a good person?At least he was worried about himself and the cabbage.Rossindi held a cigarette, he didn't move, he was still lying on the side of the boat, looking at the sea, but the moon and the starry sky.

That brat...has grown up now.About 24 years old?If there is no accident, can we meet again?But he probably can't see himself now.Ask Cabbage to say hello... Alas, that boy is also fierce to girls, right?I don't know what he's doing now, has he become a doctor or something...

"Rosie~"

Just as he was thinking about it, Rossindi heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw Youxiang's smiling face, and he smiled unconsciously: "It's you. Are you still asleep, Cabbage?"

"Well~~how should I put it..." Youxiang walked up to Rossi, she looked at the sea and sighed, "Captain Eustace's ship is really full of masculinity."

"Masculine breath?"

"Yes, it stinks."

"Hahahahaha!" Rossi laughed out loud. After all, he is a pirate... Navy ships have a mandatory requirement to be cleaned every day, which is better. Pirate ships... at least on the surface, it's fine. It's not bad.He said, "Then you go and protest with that captain?"

"No, he's so fierce." Youxiang puffed up her mouth, feeling a little aggrieved, "I've never really stolen information from pirates before. It turns out that pirates are so fierce!"

"It's not... cabbage. Do you have any misunderstanding about pirates?" Aren't they all supposed to be fierce?Rossi said, "Most pirates are vicious guys, very bad. Don't underestimate them."

"Hmm..." It's just that in the past, when I was with Ace and the others, they all talked about being a pirate or something.But they are not so fierce.And the one I met once or twice later, the pirate who helped Luffy is called Shanks...whatever, he is also a cheerful person.Maybe people are different.You Xiang said:

"Although he's fierce, I don't think he's a bad guy, Captain Eustace~"

"Really? How did you find out that he wasn't a bad guy?" I didn't see it at all.Rossi sighed, and he said, "I'm a navy anyway, so listen to my advice! Pirates are all bad, cabbage!"

"That's right~~ No!" Youxiang elongated her voice, she said, "I know, they are not bad pirates at all! At least...they will never hurt me. I know they are very good, very Good people." She laughed giggling at this point, "But because Rosie is in the navy~ so I won't tell you their names!"

"Hey..." It's really worrying.Could it be a friend I met before?However, as long as there is a guy with a heart, he won't treat you too badly.Rossi sighed helplessly, but Youxiang was smiling at him, and he couldn't hold back a little, "Tell me about you, Cabbage. Where were you born? Donghai?"

"No!" Youxiang pointed to the northern sky as he said, "Look, Frey said, I was born on a star far, far away, in that direction. Because it is too far away, it is considered night I can’t see the light of that star either. But Youxiang comes from the star!”

"Haha..." It's true.That guy named Frey is not coaxing you, is he?Rosie looked up at the stars, and said, "So, it's the cabbage on the stars. No wonder it looks delicious!"

"I hate it, why do you have to call me cabbage?"

Probably because I was really running away.As long as you don't call me by name, it means that you are not that familiar, so when you are in danger, I won't be so scared... right?Sorry, I'm such a timid man.I don't want to experience that feeling again.

"Then you grew up in Donghai, right?" Rossi changed the subject, "Has Frey followed you all this time?"

"...Hmm." I don't know what I was thinking, Rossi.The ability to change the subject is too bad~ But... Youxiang didn't press the question further, she said, "In the East China Sea... there are a group of bandits."

"Huh? Wait a minute, cabbage..."

"I was raised by bandits."

"what?!"

"It's amazing~hehe~" Youxiang didn't know what she was proud of, she said, "However, someone else adopted me...Although Youxiang doesn't know where my parents are, but I'm not lonely at all! "

"Yes, yes..." If you are so happy, it means it is true.Rossi responded with a headache, and he said, "But! I'm a navy, Cabbage! You should listen to me now! Whether it's a pirate or a bandit..."

"There are also demons~" Youxiang interrupted him and continued, "There are good guys among them! Right?" She laughed, "Rosie really likes to worry~ I'm a super powerful Jade— —”

"Emerald?"

"what!!"

Hearing other people's voices, Youxiang turned around sharply, and saw Captain Eustace standing there with a super puzzled expression on his face, he frowned and looked at Youxiang and said, "I mean you... a What is man talking to himself there?"
