[One Piece] Inferior Star

"Pendergar...?"

Kebi repeated the name of the place with some confusion, he had never heard of this name, let alone such a place in the naval fortress.He said: "Where did Miss Youxiang know this name? To be honest... Among the naval fortresses in the New World, I have never heard of a fort named Penderga. The names of naval fortresses are very simple... ..."

"Hmm~ Kebi doesn't know..." I casually asked a few navy uncles passing by, and they didn't seem to know either.I can only ask my grandpa.Youxiang thought about it seriously, and then took a bite of the apple for dinner. She has been here for a day, and she has not found any information... I don’t know if Rossi has discovered any secret information. He is very convenient to act as a ghost, so We investigated separately.

"Why does Miss Youxiang want to know about this Pendergar?"

"It's a secret, Kebi~" Youxiang held out a finger, and she said, "Girls have a lot of secrets!"

"Hey..." Really?But I think Miss Youxiang has too many secrets... Kebi smiled wryly, and he said, "The navy may have secret fortresses. I heard that there are some, and only the marshal knows about them?"

"Marshal himself...?" That's right! !Don't ask Grandpa Garp!Just ask the former Marshal Warring States grandfather directly!Youxiang stood up from her seat, and she said, "Thank you Kebi! I know who to ask!"

"Yes, that's right! But... wait a minute, Miss Youxiang!" I was appointed to 'watch you carefully'!Kebi couldn't keep up with Youxiang, he said, "Do you want to ask Marshal Sakasky? You will be killed! Don't go!"

"Sakaski?" Ah, it's that uncle Magma... Youxiang said, "I hate it. Don't." I don't like Uncle Magma, "I'm going to find Grandpa Sengoku! Look, he used to be an admiral of the navy, right? So, he must know more about this kind of thing than Grandpa Garp!"

"That's what you said..." Why is he so confident that he will tell you... Kebi really has nothing to do, anyway, Youxiang won't listen to him.However, if it is the Warring States Chief, it is still relatively safe, at least there will be no danger if there is incense.

Grandpa of the Warring States period probably wouldn't have told herself so easily... Youxiang hopped ahead, and she took out the snack that her uncle named Yixiao gave her earlier, then broke it in half, and handed it to Kebi half said: "Let's eat this first, Kebi, it will be broken tomorrow."

"Thank you, thank you..." It was completely unclear what Youxiang was thinking, but... Kebi accidentally saw Youxiang's eyes, and the other party showed a bright smile.I don't know what she's thinking at all, but she's so cute.Kirby's eyes were blinded.He took half of the dessert, and then smiled wryly, "Could it be that Miss Youxiang came here just for Pendergar's information?"

"You will tell grandpa, right?" Youxiang squinted her eyes and looked at him and said, "I won't tell you~ Humph~ Kebi is a spy sent by grandpa~~"

"No, that's not it!" Although...Lieutenant General Garp really meant this, but the spy is really...Keby argued a little flusteredly, "I'm just in charge of taking care of you, Youxiang!"

"Hmm~ Really?" Youxiang elongated her voice, and she said, "Okay then. Then I'll tell Kebi a secret! Come here~"

"?" What secret...?The secret of always feeling fragrant is probably: I came to eat grandpa’s big senbei!some type of.She just loves to play with herself, nothing at all—

Kebi was still thinking, he put his ears close to what Youxiang said, and immediately felt his cheek being kissed: "Huh?!" Keby blushed from head to toe in an instant, "Huh—— —?!!!”

"Hey~" Youxiang stuck out her tongue like a prank, and then she quickly ran away while Kebi was frozen in place, "The spy left!!"

"I, I'm not a spy!!" He escaped in this way! !Although Kebi came back to his senses, Youxiang had already run out of the gate of the restaurant.Really, Ms. Yuka... What exactly do you want to do... Sure enough, Lieutenant General Garp's family cannot be 'fuel-efficient lamps'...

She ran out of the restaurant smelling sweetly, and happened to have a face-to-face meeting with Rossi. She opened her arms and ran towards Rossi: "Rosie~~~"

"Cabbage~~~" Rossi also opened his hands in cooperation, and then they came to a meeting and hug ceremony, "So happy, Cabbage? Where's the kid who has been following you?"

"Hmph!" Youxiang crossed her hips triumphantly, and she said, "It's just a little sailor, of course I got rid of it!"

"Hahaha... so amazing, cabbage!" Rossi laughed, and he said, "Okay, let me tell you about my results." After speaking, Rossi took out a dozen documents from his coat, " This is the document I smuggled out, the entire report on Penderga, even the part I wrote at the time."

It's a thick dozen... Youxiang took the document, and she flipped through it, but nearly two-thirds of the thick document was blacked out, even Rossi's name was blacked out Halfway through... Is Penderga such a secret place?

Youxiang said: "It seems that we can't find anything by ourselves, Rossi."

"Ah. From the data, it seems that after me, someone else went to investigate there and wrote a report, but almost all the useful content was obliterated." Rossi said, "So if we want to know something , you can only go to someone who has read this document.”

Youxiang held the document, she thought for a while and said, "Let's go find Grandfather of the Warring States period, Rossi."

"Mr. Warring States...he really should know something." After all, he was the admiral of the navy before.Rossi said, "But I don't think he'll tell?"

"Then let's beg him together!" Youxiang said and walked forward, "Doesn't Rossi want to talk to Grandpa Zhan Guo? He should be very happy to know you are here, right?"

"This..." Although... I do miss Sengoku a little bit, but... Rossi said, "I feel like I will be scolded by him..."

"Even if Grandpa Zhan Guo can't tell us anything, it's good for Rossi to have a word with him, right?" Youxiang looked up at Rossi and said, "Or like Mr. Luo before, Rossi doesn't want Grandpa Zhan Guo to know Woolen cloth?"

"I don't know what to say to Sengoku Chief..."

"Just say, long time no see, I'm back!"

"what?"

"No problem, Rossi. Grandpa Sengoku will be very happy to see you." Youxiang took his hand as he said, "Don't be afraid. I'll be with you, okay?"

Is that so I was afraid.My little fear is nothing compared to yours... I was thinking that when you wake up, I can say that you don't have to be afraid anymore.But until now I can't say that.I can't lie to you, you'll still be afraid, you'll still hear scary voices, and you'll still be faced with tough choices.

We thought it was over, but in reality, it was just beginning.

Cabbage, my cabbage... Do you realize what decision you made two years ago?

Rossi looked at You Xiang and showed a worried smile. He pulled up the hand held by You Xiang, and brought You Xiang's hand into his arms: "Don't leave me, You Xiang."

"...Mmm." Youxiang smiled, she nodded with a smile and didn't notice what Rossi was thinking.Rosie didn't want her to know that either.As a...vice admiral, he wanted to protect the good and the good.This is what a 'just' navy should do.It's okay, it's okay, the cabbage, just leave it to me.

The former admiral of the navy, and now the chief inspector of the navy, Sengoku, was eating rice cakes and reading the newspaper after dinner.It's really leisurely after retirement, and you don't have to worry about anything.If I had known earlier, I would have retired earlier... When he was thinking of such words, a little girl appeared from beside him, poking the seagull hat on his head like a curious kitten, poking the newspaper for a while, Go to eat again and take rice cake slices.

Zhan Guo sighed helplessly, and he said, "What's the matter with you, little girl?"

"Then~ Grandfather of the Warring States Period~"

"No."

"I haven't said what to do yet!"

"I heard from Karp that if you draw your voice longer, it's a sign that you're going to act like a spoiled child. You should refuse before that, or it will be too late."

Why is this so!Youxiang puffed up her mouth, holding the document Rossi gave her and said, "I want to tell Grandpa Zhan Guo a secret!"

"Secret?" Zhan Guo turned his head to look at You Xiang, and he said, "You little girl really has something to hide from Karp, right?"

"Hmph~ I didn't tell Grandpa Garp a lot!" Youxiang said, "For example, I didn't tell him about the boyfriend I want to have!"

"It's a good thing you didn't say anything, otherwise your little boyfriend wouldn't be able to see the sun tomorrow."

"I hate it~" Youxiang sat across from Zhan Guo, and then put the document on the coffee table in the middle, she said, "Let's exchange it, Grandpa Zhan Guo! If you tell me about this, I will tell you too. You have a secret!"

"Huh?" This folder... Zhan Guo looked at the seal on the cover of the folder on the table, raised his eyebrows and said, "Where did you get this?"

"This is also part of the secret I will tell Grandpa Sengoku!" Youxiang smiled slightly, and she said, "I want to know something about the naval fortress 'Penderga', Grandpa Sengoku. Can you tell me, please?"

"Pan—" Are you kidding me, where did this little girl know this name!Zhan Guo almost got a piece of rice cake stuck in his throat, he coughed for a long time and drank some tea before recovering, "Where did you know this name... little girl! This is not something you should get involved in!"

"Even before I knew the name, I had already mixed it in, Grandpa of the Warring States Period." Youxiang calmly opened the folder, and she said, "If you tell me more, maybe I will do less and do more. What’s more dangerous! In this document, any useful information is—”

Halfway through Youxiang's speech, Zhan Guo quickly closed the document. He slapped the table with one hand, and said to Youxiang seriously, "Don't ask any more! Little girl!"

"..." It seems that Grandpa Zhan Guo really knows a lot of things.The secret hidden by Penderga, the clues of Emerald Island... Youxiang also looked at Sengoku seriously, and she said, "I have a friend, Grandpa Sengoku. Although I have never met him...but when Sabo is not here After Ace and Luffy left, he has been, has been protecting me."

"what……?"

"Whether it's a dangerous client or a strange task, he will help me push it away, although it may be just a trivial matter, although it may only be his necessary duties as a liaison, but apart from Ace and the others, he is the only one. ...the only one who wants me to live happily ever after."

"Little girl, you..."

"Even though, we haven't even met each other. Maybe it's because he's a good guy, maybe it's just his little effort. But now that he's been killed, there's no one else who can do it for him except me' It's a piece of cake." You Xiang also slapped her hands on the table, and she said, "For my friends, no matter what the danger is, I have to rush forward! This is something taught to me by everyone who loves me!!"

"So girl, what did you do to—"

"I am the Grandfather of the Warring States Period who will never give up!"

"Why are the old man Karp's children so stubborn!!"

And how did this little girl come into contact with Pendergar?friend?Who among her friends has access to Pendergar's secrets?All the information should be destroyed. Who is she... In the past, Karp really seemed to be particularly worried when he said that the little girl was 'cursed', but he didn't tell him the specifics. Could it have something to do with it? ……

"Grandfather of the Warring States Period!"

"You little girl! This is not a principle that I can break if you act coquettishly! After all, where did you get this document?! Who gave it to you?! He violated—"

"I brought it, Chief Sengoku." There is no other way.It seems that Youxiang alone cannot convince the Warring States.With a wry smile on Rossi's face, he appeared next to Youxiang, sat on the sofa, and opened the documents on the table again, "Please, Chief Sengoku, I failed to complete this task at the beginning, and I have always... "

"Hey?" What?what's the situation?Yes, you are... Zhan Guo looked at Rossi in front of him and was stunned. He rubbed his eyes and even pinched himself.Is this a dream?How is it possible, why does this person appear in front of my eyes?Zhan Guo opened and closed his mouth, his voice was stuck in his throat, and he didn't say anything for a long time!

"Zhan, Chief of the Warring States? That..." No problem, his face is so bad!Rossi felt that he appeared too suddenly? !What to do, the Warring States Chief seems to be frightened! "Sir! Breathe!! Don't forget to breathe!!"

"Uh..." Grandpa Zhan Guo lay down as soon as he raised his head.

"Grandpa Zhan Guo!! What, what to do!!" Youxiang jumped up, "Grandpa Zhan Guo had a heart attack!! Rossi!!!"

"Eh——?!!" Rossi also ran over, "What should I do at this time!! By the way! Press, press! It should be pressed, cabbage!"

"I don't know! Rossi is the vice admiral! The navy should have taught first aid or something!"

"Can't remember at all! It's been 13 years my cabbage!!"

"Liar! Rosie said before that it's only been two days for you!"

"Well... anyway, try to press first..." Rossi had no way to refute, he could only put his hand on Sengoku's chest, and then pressed down fiercely——

"Puff——" Zhan Guo made a puff sound, and at the same time, there seemed to be a crisp sound of bones coming from his body. Just when Rossi was about to press the second button, Zhan Guo sat up suddenly and punched him, "You Do you want to kill me, brat!!!”

"It hurts!!!" Rossi was hit in the face and flew out.

"Almost... almost broke my ribs..." Zhan Guo sat up and held his ribs and panted heavily, "You brat didn't even learn the most basic things!!"

"I just forgot a little bit! Sir!!" Rossi got up while covering his face, he said, "I seem to remember something now..."

"..." Is it really... that kid... But how is it possible, he has already... already sacrificed.During the undercover mission, in order to save a child, I told the only lie to me, and then...it has been confirmed many times, and even the body was recovered, I saw it with my own eyes, it was obviously...

Zhan Guo couldn't believe his eyes, he hesitated and said, "Rosinindi...is it really you?"

"Sorry, I'm back suddenly, Chief Sengoku." Rossi smiled and said, "Long time no see."
