[One Piece] Inferior Star

"You—this—little—girl—mother—!!!"

Lieutenant General Garp almost caught Youxiang, but she jumped onto the warship anyway.hateful!Seeing that the warship was about to leave the port, Garp ran to the edge of the port, while Youxiang poked her head out from the side of the ship and waved to him: "Goodbye~~Grandpa Garp~~"

"Damn!! Little girl!! You will cause me trouble!!" Garp yelled so loudly at first, and then his style of painting changed suddenly in the next sentence, "Be careful yourself!! Don't learn from those brats Bad!! You have to protect yourself!!! You're wearing too little——I saw you, that brat behind you! Back off!!”

"Hahaha~ goodbye~~Grandpa Garp! I will come to see you again!!" Youxiang laughed, and she waved vigorously, and saw that Garp was also waving at the farther and farther port, At the same time, Kebi came together, "Goodbye~~Keby!!"

"Again..." Kebi raised his hand and just waved his hand before shouting, but he was caught by Garp: "You kid!! Why didn't you tell me earlier!!"

"Because, because I was thrown away too!" Kebi defended a bit, but he didn't dare to say how he was thrown away, "Lieutenant General Garp is also worried...Miss Youxiang is alone .”

"How can you be so relieved!! That little girl only has such a point!!" Garp gestured exaggeratedly, as if he was gesturing to a kitten, "I have been a worry-free person since I was a child...that person... ..."

The person who gave her to him died for her!Why do these guys like entrusting orphans to themselves so much!Am I running a nursery?Garp was complaining aimlessly, and finally he was discouraged: "Ahh... I thought, at least this kid doesn't have to worry."

"Lieutenant General..." Kebi paused for a while, looking at Garp who was a little downcast, and said, "I...I can help you investigate."

"Huh?" Investigate what?Cap looked up, and he said, "I remember you are now..."

"I think my duty must also include this matter. The matter that Miss Youxiang wants to investigate is also one of the reasons why I became a navy." As a member of the 'justice' army, I hope that the world will There will be no more of those true evils.I hope... "I hope that I can do my part to make the truth clear, Lieutenant General."

"...I don't have the authority to order you to do this right now." I'm retired.Garp said this, but who knew that someone suddenly came up from behind him: "Then let the old man authorize."

"One, a smile sir?!" Kebi immediately stood at attention and saluted, "Why are you here..."

"I'm sorry, Lieutenant General Garp. Because the old man was too curious, he conducted a little investigation of his own. The child, and you... The secrets you have hidden, and everything you have undertaken until today, made the old man feel very impressed. Surprised." With a smile, he 'looked' at the warship going away, and said, "There are too many unknown secrets in this world, and we can only tell right from wrong after we discern the truth. Don't you think so? Lieutenant General?"

"That's what I said..."

"Who wrote the word 'justice'? Now, I really want to 'correct' it to a righteous path that has been biased for a long time. And it must be us who want to reveal these secrets that may affect the safety of the people." part of the matter."

"Hey... I don't have any right to speak anymore as an old man." Karp shook his head and said as if he had given up, "You must be doing what you think is right. The child has to bear more things than she herself It may be as heavy as I imagined. That person...the person who died in front of me, he tried his best, but still failed to save her. And we, who know nothing about this secret, really have a way ?"

"Whether there is a way or not, I can't tell..." Yixiao replied, "But one thing can be confirmed now. That is, if there is such a child who needs help in front of us, then no matter what kind of child we are after." Justice', everyone should lend a helping hand. Otherwise, it is a departure from the righteous way."

"..." Garp didn't speak immediately. 'This is the right way. ' This sentence reappeared in Karp's mind.The dying man stuck to his beliefs until the last moment.Will 'right way' engraved in the heart.He said, "I'm not involved in your decision at all, General?"

"Hahaha...then let the old man decide alone." Yixiao immediately changed his tone, and he said seriously, "Master Kebi."

"Yes!" Kebi immediately stood up straighter, ready to accept the order.

"You can use the old man's eyes to see for yourself what the truth is."

so slow~~

Youxiang is sitting at an open-air coffee shop in the city. A small island protected by the navy in the New World seems to be extraordinarily prosperous and lively.Possibly due to the relatively narrow selection of routes, the population density of the New World seems to have increased slightly compared to other areas of the Great Route.

That being said, although it is very lively here, Youxiang is still a bit lonely by herself.Matthew and Ace are so slow~~ How are you discussing with the rebels?What exactly is Matthew talking about... I am so concerned~~

"Rosie~~~"

"in~~"

Sitting across from Youxiang, Rossi smoked a cigarette leisurely, he said, "What's the matter? Are you getting bored with cabbage?"

"Hmm~~ Because Rosie is with me, so it's not boring~" Youxiang lay on the chair, she said, "But I'm a little lonely...something. I want to see Ace."

"It's such a good relationship. Cabbage and Mr. Ace."

"Hmph~ I have a better relationship with Luffy~ Ace left me first... every time!" Youxiang poked the straw of the drink as if angry, and waited here for almost a day , Matthew and the others haven't come yet.But I did hear that the Navy's warships will board much faster than ordinary ships.Speaking of which, "Maxiu and the others must have lost their way, right?"

"No, it won't be..." Although the ocean currents of the great route are very special, there will be no problems in most cases if there are pointers.Rossi said, "Mr. Ace is also a person who has traveled a long time on the great route?"

"But he...he said it was traveling, but maybe it was drifting." Because they are all brothers.Youxiang emphasized, "And Matthew is not very good at this kind of sea, nature, maybe they have... been eaten by sea kings!?"

"Hahahaha... thinking too much about cabbage." Rosie laughed, and he said, "I'll be back soon. Matthew and Mr. Ace. Wait a little longer. Want some ice cream?"

"Want to~~"

Just as Youxiang was eating the sixth ice cream of the day, the Golden Surf Seal had safely docked.Sabo put his name on the door of a room in the cabin with satisfaction, and then walked out: "Have you arrived yet?"

"Oh! What have you been doing in there so far?" Ace was squatting on the side of the boat, he said, "Look, this is the island. Matthew said that there is a fragrance and she is probably already waiting for us here! You Are you ready?"

"No, no!" Suddenly Sabo panicked, he said, "I'm so nervous! By the way, Ace, does Luffy know about you?"

"Ah. Yes. Though he didn't know until a few weeks after that."

"This, this way..." There was no excuse for running away, Sabo walked up to Ace and took a deep breath, "Okay! I'm ready! But first tell me that Youxiang is better than before. Has anything changed?"

"Changes..." Ace began to think, comparing Youxiang's appearance in his mind, "It's nothing special. She still loves to cry, she is thin and small, you must recognize her at a glance!"

"Hmm..." That's what I said, but why am I so nervous... It seems that I accidentally forgot something, what is it...

Sabo didn't say anything else, he looked back at Matthew and the others: "Kerla, I asked you to come with me."

"It's nothing... I'm glad this happened." After all, when Sabo thought of everything before, it was very painful.Kerla recalled what happened at that time, and she said, "Are you also going to meet brothers this time?"

"Haha... no." How should I put it, what does Youxiang belong to me?It seems right to say that it is my sister, but it would be a bit awkward and unhappy if I was said that.Sabo said, "Probably... childhood sweetheart, right? So? Ace?"

"I don't understand that. Anyway, we grew up together." Ace said succinctly, "Until I left that island and Luffy left that island, she was still waiting there for a long time. I I don't know what she is waiting for, Sabo. But since you 'died', she will ask me every night... Did Sabo get happiness in the end?"

"It's fragrant..."

"Although this incident is not your fault, it is too cruel for her. She always thinks that because she is a 'curse', you will die and I will die. We will all suffer from misfortune She thinks she is 'the one who took away our happiness'. I... once said that I would take her to find a cure for that 'disease', but she saved it before it succeeded."

Ace said and jumped off the side of the boat. He walked up to Sabo and said, "I am no longer qualified to act like a big brother with her. She saved me with her precious things. So, Sabo... I hope you can now Answer that question yourself. I hope I don't have to see her unable to smile again."

"..." Ace's heart is fragrant now.Sabo glanced at the scar on Ace's chest.Ace can stand here because Youxiang dedicated her entire life and even all the possibilities of the future to the curse she has been fearing and escaping at the last moment.

It was she who 'made up' for her omissions.It is this unthinkable miracle she conjures that allows us brothers to continue our adventure...to meet again in the future.

Ace was right.She deserves better things, she deserves to be happy forever and ever.

"I understand Ace." Sabo said, "Although I don't know how to do it, but... I understand what you mean. Pirates always want to protect their treasures. I am not a pirate now, but then The reason why our dream can continue to the present, and there is no piece of our 'territory' missing, is all due to her."

"Take it as a treasure."

"Ah. Treat it as a treasure. It's like guarding your own treasure."

There seemed to be some sort of consensus reached.Kerla couldn't intervene in the words of the two brothers, so she approached Matthew cautiously and said, "I always feel that the child named Youxiang will become very hard, huh?"

"Who says it's not, Miss Kerra." Matthew sighed, and he said, "Okay, we're here, you two."

"I can't help it, I have to face it." Sabo suddenly became nervous again, he took off his hat and began to straighten his hair, "Speaking of which, how is my hair?! Ace!"

"Ah?? How would I know! Who cares about that! I'll go first!" Who knows how your hair looks like!As soon as Ace said that, he jumped off the boat. With Yuxiang's personality, she should be waiting somewhere nearby while eating ice cream, right?There's no way that Rosie guy can stop her, and it's conservatively estimated that she should have eaten about six ice creams.Gotta find her fast, or she'll get a stomachache again.

There are a lot of people on the street, but it is easy to find incense.Ace saw Youxiang sitting at the outdoor cafe from the crowd (and ignored Rossi by the way), he immediately waved: "Youxiang~~~!!"

"!!" Hearing this voice, Youxiang immediately jumped up, threw the ice cream to Rossi and ran out, "Ace~~~"

"Huh?! Have you found it yet!!" Sabo had just followed Ace, and he thought it would take him a while to find it!He followed Ace's gaze, um... over there, it looks like a girl with fragrance... Could it be——

"Yes, is that you? Youxiang!" Sabo squatted in front of a little girl who was almost six years old, looked at her like a strange uncle and said, "Has it become a little round? Of course it is still cute! I mean ..."

"Hmm..." The little girl immediately showed a crying expression because she was suddenly caught by a 'weird uncle', "Wow!" Then she ran away crying loudly.

"Wait, wait a minute! Youxiang! Don't run away!! It's me!!"

"——It's your size!!" Ace stopped the guy who wanted to catch up in time, and he said, "What are you doing!!"

"Hey? That, isn't that right! I thought it was absolutely right!"

"How could it be possible to still look like a child after so long! Please wake me up!!"

"But! Matthew hasn't changed at all! Isn't Youxiang supposed to be a fairy from the stars or something? So I thought maybe..."

"Ah, I don't know how to complain about you—are you Luffy!!" Why did you suddenly use Luffy's thinking circuit! !Although Ace said 'I don't know how to complain', he still said 'precisely complained'.And at this time Youxiang slammed into Ace's arms like a bee on cotton: "Ace? Who is this?"

"It's a fool." Ace said so, he grabbed Youxiang's shoulders with both hands, and then 'squared' her in front of Sabo, "Look carefully, this is Youxiang!"

"..." Sabo had just stood up from the ground, he raised his head while stroking the back of his head, and met Youxiang's confused eyes.Silver-white eyes with only a little bit of orange thread... these eyes... ah, that's right!Just two years ago, before the news of Ace's execution had spread to the whole world, he had seen a girl with such eyes in Zephria.

They were obviously so close.If at that time, if I caught up with him at that time, asked one more question, and said one more self-introduction, would the ending be changed, and would I be able to remember it earlier?

Thinking about the past will only add to the pain.Forget it, now that I have decided what I should do, I should also smile now... Sabo smiled, and said, "Your fragrance! I'm back—uh!"

Youxiang slapped him with a frightened and frightened expression.

"It hurts! Is it fragrant?!" Why! !Sabo was stunned, "It's me! It's me! Sabo!!"

"Liar!!" Youxiang said loudly, as if crying, "Liar!! No!! You, you... Liar... Frey is a big idiot!!!"

"Frey??" Why Frey? ?Sabo had no idea what was going on, and said, "No! It's really me! Listen to me—uh!" Before he could finish, he was slapped again.

"Even if this is the case, I won't be happy! Not happy at all! Don't! Idiot!!" Youxiang cried and said, "It will disappear! Wouldn't Sabo disappear again? You idiot!! Hurry up Stop it for me!!"

"You Xiang..." No, this is not a dream.It's really me.Finally understood what Youxiang meant, Sabo grabbed her hand in time to avoid being hit again, "It's me, it's really me. It's not Frey. It's me. Look, I brought you lovely flowers~ "As he spoke, he took out some crushed wild flowers out of nowhere, "Don't cry, okay?"

"..." Are you kidding me...it's not funny at all, not at all... Youxiang still looks at the person opposite in horror, isn't this really a dream?Someone exactly like Sabo.Even the flowers I gave myself were exactly the same.It's a lie, isn't it... If it's a lie, you better tell me now, Frey, or I won't forgive you!Absolutely not!

Youxiang raised her hand hesitantly, she wanted to touch Sabo's face, but she saw a large scar covered under the hair.This is something that the previous Saab didn't have, this is...is it left over from that time...so this is really...Saab?

Sabo took her hesitant hand, and then put her hand on his face: "Okay, I touched it. Did you feel it? I'm real. I'm back, Youxiang. Sorry it took so long... But , I won’t disappear. I’ll always be here, so… don’t cry. Ace said he doesn’t want to see you cry anymore, he’s going to fight me angrily, okay?”

"Hmm..." Youxiang took half a step back, she looked at Ace, and Ace nodded.She finally believed all this, and then quickly rushed over: "Bastard!!!" and hit Sabo's chest with his head, making him almost vomit blood, "Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!!! Sabo is a big idiot!!! Absolutely not! Don't, don't, don't!"

"Cough...I can't understand you anymore...cough cough..." Ah, did you see heaven at that moment?It's been a long time since you've grown stronger, you Xiang!Sabo let Youxiang hold him, but grabbed Youxiang's hand and told her not to hammer any more. If she hammered any more, she would really die, "You have worked hard to take care of Ace and Luffy. Now Leave it all to me. Youxiang."

"no no no!!"

"No...haha..." Sabo laughed, and he said, "Then you want to take care of me too? I don't mind?"

"Don't disappear again, you idiot!!!" Don't do this again!Don't make me...let me think...that I've lost you forever!Then suddenly appear like this again, I don't want... I don't want to lose you all again!Fool!Fool!

Youxiang was a little incoherent, she hugged Sabo tightly, as if he would disappear again if she relaxed.

"I didn't hug me so tightly when I saw you, Youxiang..." Ace was in a complicated mood, and he said, "Are you biased? Isn't it? Is it the partiality of Dad's true story?"

"Hey~~ Is that so?" Sabo said while stroking Youxiang's head, "Then I won this time? Ace?"

"I can't help it... I'll give it to you today. Only today."

"I think I can win in the future too...but forget it." Sabo laughed, and he said, "Okay, Youxiang. Don't you want to know what's going on? Wait a minute... I can't walk like this I can’t stand still! There’s fragrance! Don’t put your legs—ahh!”

Before he finished speaking, Sabo fell to the ground.He said helplessly, "It hurts so much...You Xiang, let me go for a little bit first, okay?"

"do not want!"

"Okay, can I let you hug me after we sit down?"

"don't want!!"

"Are you going to keep holding on like this?"

"Um!!"

"..." Sabo lost his mind.He looked up at Ace, "Help me."

I don't know why I feel a little bit uncomfortable... a little bit.Ace paused, he knelt down and said to Youxiang: "Well, Youxiang. Although I'm not complaining... I'm definitely not complaining, and I don't think Sabo is fine. But ah, I... a little , just a little... lonely—huh?!"

Before he finished speaking, he was pulled over by You Xiang, and then fell on the two of them: "You Xiang?"

"Idiot! Idiot!! One or two are big idiots!! I'm so mad!!" Youxiang grabbed the two of them and said loudly, "Absolutely!! If there is a next time, it will definitely not... I will never forgive you!! Even if it is like this...Even if it is like this, you can appear in front of me and talk to me with a smile...Me too...I will definitely not be happy...Not happy at all...Uh... ..."

I lied to you...?

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Rossi: I am the one who is really lonely and cold! !

Matthew: The positions of the three of you have already attracted crowds of people watching. This is the street, so please pay attention to me!What to do when the navy comes! !

Frey: (continues to lie down)

Passerby: (pointing)

Let me talk about the feelings of these children (the three brothers and Youxiang) towards Matthew. From the setting point of view, Matthew was with them when they were very young, and it was when almost all adults raised them , as an 'adult' person around them.Although he is not an elder, nor has he set a good example, but after all, he is still by their side and becomes a special support.

You can talk to him no matter what you encounter, he will not blame, he will not judge, although he may not be really interested or able to share happiness and sorrow, but he will listen carefully and respond.Even going crazy with the kids sometimes.

No matter what you don't understand, you can ask him, even 'children don't need to know now! 'He will also bluntly answer, as if he didn't treat anyone as a child.And when an accident happens or is in danger, just say "Matthew, help me!" No matter how much he taunts, he will still lend a helping hand.

In their memory, Matthew is like a last resort. When you are at the end of your rope, if you return to him, you can always find the right direction.So in fact, some of them regard Matthew as an important family member. For them who lacked reliable elders when they were growing up, Matthew made up for this vacancy.

(Don't let Matthew know the above words, otherwise he will show an extremely disgusted expression and start the mocking and arrogant mode)

Therefore, when everyone is happy, sad, or crying with joy, they all want to return to him to find a sense of peace of mind, because he is like the closest family member, he can definitely understand, and he will never laugh at it. Show him the most true feelings, and he won't use them for entertainment~ It's like a little duck, no matter how happy it is, it still wants to find its mother w
