[One Piece] Inferior Star

There are many crows outside the window...

Sabo glanced out the window, the corridor was very bright, so he could clearly see flocks of crows on the window sills and trees outside.You can also vaguely see crows flying in the sky.Even in the 'habitat' of crows, this scene is a bit abnormal, not to mention that in such a place close to the port, shouldn't there be more seagulls?

To this extent, no matter what kind of bird it is, it is not normal.Sabo said, "Sip, what's up with those crows out there? Another one attacked You Xiang earlier today."

"Huh?!" Was attacked!Seep looked very surprised, he said, "Well, they seem to...follow me. This is my first time in this world so it's not... not very clear. But I will try to make them leave or not attack other people!"

"Xiaoxi doesn't know anything~" It's like someone who used to live in a very closed environment.Youxiang looked up at him and said, "Then why are you wearing tattered clothes?"

"This?" Shipp said, pulling at the black rags he was wearing, "This was originally... a coat. It was damaged by the chain. Although in theory it will recover after a while, but because the chain has been It's all here, so even if it recovers, it will break immediately. If you take it off... the clothes inside will also break, so..."

"Chain..." Is this it?Youxiang looked at the silver chain wrapped around Shipp's body, it was long and dragged behind him, it looked like metal, and it was very new, there was no stain or rust on it, and it hung loosely on Shipp's body, Rather than being used for restraint, it is better for decoration, "Can't you take it off?"

"Yeah." Sip smiled wryly, and said, "Because I am 'arrogant', I must wear it. This is a measure to protect living creatures and the present world. It is the power to limit me that cannot be removed no matter what. s things."

Frey did say that arrogance is a very powerful demon... I didn't expect that there would be something restricting, but if he is the strongest, then who put this chain on him?

This thing seems to be more and more scary, so don't get into it.Youxiang changed the subject: "Speaking of which, are Ace and the others in danger, Sabo?"

"Ace is strong, it doesn't matter. And Matthew is not a vase... I don't think there is any need to worry, do you want to go to them?" Sabo said, "Let's investigate here, and if we don't find anything, go to them. "

"Yeah." Youxiang nodded, but she was still a little worried, "Will Ace be angry if I ask Frey to help?"

"Frey..." Probably.Sabo sighed, and he said, "But I haven't seen him for a long time. Is he guilty because he didn't dare to come to see us?"

"Because you didn't prepare yuzu tea, brats." And I'm always there.Frey suddenly appeared opposite Sabo, and he said with an unhappy face, "You are such a kid who can scare ghosts to death... Didn't you die?"

"Ha! That's too much, Frey..." Sabo smiled, and he said, "I'll forget it, but Ace will beat you up?"

"Could Frey go help Ace?" Youxiang just said that when Sabo finished speaking.

"..." You just want me to be beaten up, little girl! !Frey looked at Youxiang's 'please' gaze, and he sighed, "Okay, okay...but you have to prepare grapefruit tea,"

"Hmm!" Youxiang laughed, and she said, "Should I have a good talk with Ace?"

"It's impossible for him to listen to me carefully..." Being beaten is inevitable.Frey gave up a bit, saying, "If I get punched, you're going to give me oranges."

"No problem! I'll cook something delicious for Frey!"

"I don't mind if you say that." Just waiting for you to say this... Although she looks like a clumsy girl, the taste of the things she makes is still very good.Frey said, "However, let me remind you that the arrogant kid has no experience in many things... Although he is indeed very strong, he needs to be watched by others."

"Oh...so that's it." Sabo smiled meaningfully, then tightened the joints in his hands, making it make a clicking sound intentionally or unintentionally, and looked at Shipp, "Don't worry, I've been watching with him."

"..." Help, Xiangxiang! !Shippo shivered and hid behind Youxiang, not daring to speak.

I don't know which one is worse, you or me. Arrogant... Both of these guys have become a little scary when they grow up (only Luffy hasn't changed at all).Frey sighed in his heart, and then changed the subject: "There is also this place... the barrier is very stable. It should be a good thing, but on this kind of island, such a stable barrier is a bit unbelievable. There must be something in this building played a stabilizing role..."

"I know that you are investigating some strange events. Maybe it will be helpful to find out the reason."

"Thank you, Frey~" Youxiang ran to him and looked at him, bouncing up and down as if waiting for something, until Frey touched the top of her head helplessly: "Then I'll go and see." That boy Ace... don't worry about what Matthew said, right?"

"Ah, don't worry about him."

"Matthew shouldn't be worried, right?"

"As long as he doesn't blow up the island..."

Sabo, Yuxiang and Rossi said these words almost at the same time.Frey showed a reassuring expression, as long as Matthew remained "as usual" in this world, it meant that it could still be saved.He waved his hand and disappeared in place. Rossi said: "As Frey said, after entering the naval base, the strange sound and depression disappeared. I always feel a little too strange."

"Well... things like demons are also afraid of something." There must be a nemesis.Sabo thought about it, and he said, "Sip, the barrier you mentioned, besides requiring living people to move around and time, is there any way to stabilize it?"

"This...if it is a great...people with pure and holy souls who are active nearby, there will be some effects...but..." Xipu thought for a while, and he said, "but as far as humans are concerned, there should be no It should be a method with a special effect... After all, all the people who can use this kind of barrier-repairing magic..." were killed.They are extinct.

Sipp paused, he didn't make his words too clear: "However, if there is a place like a shrine or a church, and people are devout enough, it will also be effective."

"I don't think there is such a place in the naval base..." I have no idea at all... Sabo thought for a while, and then suddenly said, "No way, let's go to the cafeteria first."

"That's right, I'm a little hungry." Youxiang rubbed her stomach, and she said, "Eat enough before thinking about troublesome and scary things." Having said that, Rossi handed over an orange to her. You Xiang, he said: "You two really can think about it... But, forget it. There's no point in worrying now. Then go to the cafeteria."

It's better to say that the three of you are the ones who really think about it... Xipu complained silently in his heart.This is a very strange phenomenon.Even though the outside world was already in dire straits, this place remained motionless, and I couldn't think of any reasonable explanation at all.The seniors don't know if they have encountered similar things... In this world that has lost magic, such things should never happen again.

Anyway, they came to the cafeteria.Because it was already night, there was no one in the cafeteria. After turning on the lights, I took out the ingredients and made something by myself...

"Let's just grill the meat, it's delicious!"

"No. Eat more vegetables! Sabo is here to help clean up!"

It's true... It's obvious that barbecue is relatively simple!Reluctantly, Sabo walked to the edge of the sink, picked up a carrot, and was about to put it under the water to wash, but was stopped by You Xiang: "Aren't you going to take off your gloves, Sabo?"

"Ah, I forgot..." It's okay if you don't pick it up, right?Just when Sabo was thinking about how to 'act like a baby' and escape the job of washing carrots, suddenly, he saw something over Youxiang's head, which made him freeze in place: "You, Youxiang... ..."

"Huh? What's the matter? If you want to say that you can wash it without taking it off, I'll be angry!" Youxiang turned to look at him, only to see him looking at the cafeteria door with a shocked expression, just about to look back What was he looking at, You Xiang was stopped: "Don't look back! You Xiang!"

"What, what's wrong!!" Because Youxiang was held in the face immediately, she said in surprise, "What is it, Sabo! Don't scare me!"

"I'd scare you if I told you what it was..." Sabo said, still looking over there in shock, "I think it's like... is it, a ghost?"

"Didn't you just say it!!" What a ghost!Rosie?If it is him, there is nothing to be afraid of!Youxiang immediately grabbed Sabo's clothes, and she said, "Really Sabo! Is it behind me?! Think of a way!"

"What can I do!" I was also frightened!The white one... Sabo saw a white figure at the door of the cafeteria. It seemed to be a woman, and she couldn't see her face clearly. She was wearing a white robe, which was so long that it dragged the floor.Her black hair was tied neatly behind her head, making her look very capable.

She just stood there, as if preoccupied.Although it looks like a ghost, it doesn't give people a scary feeling.Sabo said: "Then you slowly turn your head..."

Youxiang nodded, then turned her head cautiously, still holding on to Sabo's clothes, she took a quick glance and immediately hid her face in Sabo's arms: "Wuuuu...it seems to be really, it's a ghost... Although glistening..."

"She doesn't seem to have any intention of coming..." Sabo said, taking Youxiang back, this cafeteria is for the navy in the base, it is very big, so there are two doors on the left and right, now you just need to move to the other The door on one side can avoid that ghost and get out!

Just as the two of them were still moving, footsteps came from behind suddenly, Sabo became vigilant, he immediately turned around and saw a group of people wearing strange white armor and the same white helmet appeared on the other side At the door, as soon as they entered, they immediately found Sabo and Youxiang, and quickly raised what should be a gun in their hands!

what happened!Are these people ghosts too? !Sabo didn't have time to react, and there was no place to hide around. At the moment when he hugged Youxiang and tried to protect her with his body, the gun didn't get a chance to fire, and the female ghost on the other side suddenly raised her hands, as if Push something that can't be seen in the air and push it hard!

Those with guns fell to the ground immediately as if they were overturned by a strong wind or a huge thrust!And just like that, Sabo and Youxiang looked away from the scenery of the cafeteria, and when they came back to their senses, they found that everything around them had changed!

This place is no longer the spacious dining hall of the naval base, but has become a room with metal walls, metal floors and pale lights. At this time, the gems hanging on Youxiang's neck also began to glow, and even got a little hot...

"Sa, Sabo..." Youxiang felt a little strange. Although the female ghost had never seen her before, she had a strange sense of familiarity with her, and, "Rosie and the others are gone..."

"..." It's not just them, we simply changed positions!Where is this? !Were you saved by that female ghost just now?Sabo's mind is full of questions, and now there is only one way to solve these problems, just ask!Just as he was about to speak, the female ghost on the opposite side ran over first!

Sabo immediately blocked Youxiang behind him, but the female ghost passed through their bodies in an instant and went straight to the other side of the room!

"She can't see us..." Can't touch either!Youxiang said in surprise, "Sabo, are we... dreaming?"

"I don't know..." I don't remember falling asleep... Sabo looked at the back of the female ghost in surprise, and then held Youxiang's hand, "Let's follow her. I always feel... If we follow her , will know many things.”

"Hmm." Youxiang thought so too.She wasn't afraid now, and the ghost... gave her a very, very reassuring feeling.Like... a loved one, or...?The crystal on the chest became brighter, Youxiang raised her hand to grab it, and followed the 'ghost lady' out of the room with Sabo.

The corridor outside has also changed completely. The walls, floor, and ceiling are all covered with metal, and the wall opposite the door has been replaced with a huge glass window that runs through the entire corridor. The scenery outside the window is neither the sea nor the sky, but black The... night sky.It's like being among the stars.

Through the window, other parts of this 'building' can be seen, it seems to be floating in this space, and at the same time, under its 'wings', a white sphere hangs in the black night sky.Although I don't know exactly what this is, but I unconsciously understand in my heart that this should be the scene you see when you get too close to a star.

Because it is so beautiful, or in other words, the scenery outside the window, the stars are so beautiful and shocking that both Youxiang and Sabo almost lost Ms. Ghost.

Along the way, the ghost lady passed the test, and no one seemed to be able to stop her.She can use amazing magic, can push people away from the air or pull things just by reaching out.Her weapon is a sword with a blade made of purple lasers, which seems to be able to cut through anything, and even bounce bullets back!

She has been running forward, she has an urgent and clear goal.Until she achieves this goal, no one can stop her.Soldiers wearing white armor and black armor kept appearing, but they were all repelled by her in the end. Finally, she came to a room with a different style.

The room was full of strange decorations, and the black cloth hanging on the wall was painted with strange marks like the sun with red paint.Instead of the pale light, the entire room was filled with candles.In the center of the room, there is a small swaddle. When the ghost lady approached the swaddle, she put away all the murderousness and determination just now. She put away the sword and showed a gentle smile——

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...this was the wrong decision, I should have known all along..."

She looked at the innocent smile of the baby in the swaddle, moistened her eyes, and said softly, not knowing what she was confessing: "But it is too powerful, the darkness is always around us, I can't defeat it, yes I killed you."

She picked up the child and started walking with it.She was decisive and resolute again, and every step she took seemed unstoppable.After running for an unknown amount of time, a man wearing a black robe and armor finally made her hesitate a little bit. She stopped, carefully placed the child on the ground, and prepared for the final battle of her life.

"It's ironic and ridiculous to regret it now." The man in the black robe said, "Do you know how many warships are here? Do you know how many people surround this planet? You can't escape, and neither can that child."

"You can try it." She replied, her eyes did not waver at all, she held the hilt of her sword with both hands, and put on a fighting posture, "I made a huge mistake before, and now I am here to make up for it. Regardless Whatever it takes, I won't give up."

"Stupid... The organization you believed in is now falling apart, and the survivors scattered everywhere are just dying!" The man in black raised his voice, and said, "This is the wrong decision! Join us, join this darkness Among them! You were not wrong before!!"

"No, I was wrong." On the contrary, her voice was calm and flat, "I don't trust the people I love, question them, neglect them... betray them. It's wrong no matter how you think about it. I thought I didn't love anymore Yes, but I was wrong. I still love them..."

"But you buried them all with your own hands!"

"...not all of them."

There is still one.There is one last left.My favorite, my favorite... child.

"It seems that we have nothing to say." The other party did not waver at all, and he also took out his own weapon.The spear in his hand is twined with lightning, and the battle is about to start! !

The fight to the death was brilliant and swift, and neither man was able to escape unscathed.Neither Youxiang nor Sabo had ever seen this kind of fighting method, but before they could react or sigh, someone had already paid the price under the swift and violent attack.

The man in the black robe was impaled by his own spear and fell to the ground, and the ghost lady was also badly wounded, her hand was almost broken, and only the flesh remained to attach it to her body.But she still stumbled to the little baby's side, touched its smiling face with a gratified smile, picked it up in its ignorant smile, and put it into an open cylindrical cabin.

"It's okay, it's okay, my child..."

When Ms. Phantom got up, the child let out an anxious cry, so she leaned down and stroked its head while comforting her: "You will get out of here, someone will take you out of here... out of all this .And then you'll meet someone better, better than me, better than us...and you'll live a happy life."

She smiled as she spoke, and took out the hilt of the sword that had just been damaged by the man in black's attack, and smashed it completely on the wall next to it, and then picked up a gemstone emitting purple light from it!

At this time, Youxiang finally realized what it was all about. She covered her mouth, grabbed the gem that was still glowing on her chest, and watched in shock as Ms. Ghost put the purple gem on the baby's chest. Then, the spear that was supposed to be pierced into the body of the man in black suddenly pierced into the body of Ms. Ghost! !

Ms. Ghost turned her head in shock. She used her last strength to push the man in black away with her magical magic, then climbed to the side of the wall and pressed a button forcefully.The door of the small cabin where the baby was placed swung shut automatically, and then through the window next to it, one could see that the small cabin was ejected out of the building and flew towards the white planet——

"Sabo..." Youxiang watched Ms. Phantom fall to the ground, with a peaceful smile on her face, but she remained motionless, "Sabo is..."

"Youxiang, are you okay?" Sabo almost guessed what was going on, when he saw the purple gemstone, he understood it, and quickly hugged Youxiang into his arms, "It's okay , this is a thing of the past, it’s all right now.”

"..." That person, that 'ghost lady'...is his...mother?The little baby was clearly himself, and this identical gem was proof.And that white star is Yi Leng?

This is... how it all started?

There is an indescribable feeling in my heart. Even my mother, who has never met, saw her being killed in front of her own eyes. She was killed in order to save herself. Pain, which made her make a painful sound, if it wasn't for Sabo holding her, she wouldn't be able to stand on her own——

"It's fragrant! It's fragrant?!" What's going on... Suddenly... Huh?Still wanting to put Youxiang, who was almost fainted, on the ground, Sabo just took half a step back when he found that the surrounding scene changed again!

The space made of metal has disappeared, replaced by a cave-like place, they are standing on the black floor covered by shallow water, the floor is made of stone, and there are circles of stars engraved on it Patterns like the picture.Although he didn't know the principle, Sabo realized that if what was just an illusion, it is now a reality.

"You Xiang..." Sabo didn't care about the surrounding environment, he gently touched You Xiang's face, "Open your eyes, okay? You Xiang? Answer me...wake up?"

"Sabo... um..." The severe pain just now disappeared when Youxiang heard Sabo's voice. She was covered in cold sweat, but fortunately she recovered. Is it because Sabo was by her side?

"Don't scare me! Ace said you slept for two years..." I don't know how he endured it, but I can't.Sabo breathed a sigh of relief, and he said, "Are you all right? Do you want to lie down for a while? I will always hold you."

"It's okay...Sabo. And the ground is full of water..." His clothes were wet and he felt a little uncomfortable.With his help, Youxiang stood up, and said, "Here is...?"

"I've been to a place like this once before." As he said that, Sabo took out the hilt of the sword that Youxiang had rejected before, and he said, "I got this last time... but obviously this is not the same cave. I Think, this should be inside the naval base."

"Huh?" This place... Although the light is not very good, it somehow makes people feel a little at ease.Youxiang said, "Then that... phantom just now? In the past...? What happened?"

"I don't know. But it should be related to you. Maybe you came here, so this... this temple, this room, I want to tell you something." Sabo said and handed the hilt to Youxiang , "The material that the scholar mentioned is impossible to obtain. I think it is in your hands. It has incense. This thing really belongs to you."

"..." This sword hilt, and gems...should they be combined, just like Mom... Mom's sword?Youxiang was holding the hilt of the sword, and just looking at it didn't make any sense, or... let's calm down first.Youxiang said, "Sabo helped me carry it, I don't have a pocket to carry it."

"I know." I really can't do anything about you... Sabo had to take it back, and he said, "The girl's clothes look so fancy, but they don't seem to be able to hold anything."

"Why did Sabo say 'both'?"

"Hey?"

"Do you know girls' clothes well?"

"No, it's not! It's because, when the rebels—"

"So you are such a Sabo."

"I said no! Youxiang!? Youxiang, listen to my explanation!!"

"How do I get out of this place? Rossi and the others should be very worried... Let's find an exit quickly! Sa~Bo~"

"Hey……"

"I'm going to tell Ace~"

"No, I told you that you misunderstood!!"
