[One Piece] Inferior Star

This is a... like a lounge.The outside is a dark laboratory made of steel and large rocks. The bottom edges of the pipes and corners are covered with dust. I don't know how long it has been abandoned.But this lounge is relatively clean and tidy.

There was a small fireplace on the wall, and the crackling fire made the small room much warmer.Youxiang curled up on the soft and comfortable sofa although it wasn't new, wrapped in a blanket and finally warmed up.She took the hot tea that Luo handed over, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Luo..."

"Ah." Luo responded, and he sat next to Youxiang, "Now tell me why you are here?"

"That..." Youxiang basically said what Kagawa said, and she explained, "Now we are in the state of cooperating with the Jade broker... I have listened to Mr. Kagawa's suggestion before, and I do know something about Jade Island. So this time, for Ace, I came here to listen to his opinion."

"Hmm..." It's a bit suspicious, that guy named Kagawa.After Luo heard this, he thought for a while before opening his mouth, "There is something strange and fragrant. Since that person named Xiangchuan can hire an organization like Germa 66 to directly find a certain base in Emerald Island, then He might actually have more information on the Emerald Isle, right?"

"Speaking of..." Seems like this?

"But he still looks like he doesn't understand anything. I don't know if Matthew has thought of this... I think that guy should have thought of it too, but he doesn't have any other evidence or conjecture now, so he just Basically let it go." After all, Matthew is a very casual guy, and Luo has also seen it in those two years.

"Mr. Luo means...is Mr. Kagawa hiding something from us?"

"It's okay if it's just like this... Think about it, is it really a coincidence that the two names 'Emerald Broker' and 'Emerald Island' are so similar? Of course, there may be someone from Kagawa who wanted to be with him from the very beginning. The Emerald Isle is against each other, so the name was chosen on purpose. But there is also... the possibility that they are actually the same organization."

"Huh?!" The same organization... Thinking about it this way...

Mr. Kagawa really seems to know everything.Even if they weren't nearby, they knew about the decision of Youxiang and the others, and it had already happened twice that they suddenly appeared nearby.And also know some very secret information.If combined with the description of the Emerald Isle as "sneaking into everyone's lives", it is indeed possible that it is the same organization.

"Of course... for an organization like Emerald Island, there may be one or two small bases that don't have any important organizational information. The 'ends' of large organizations usually lack information." Luo continued to analyze, " If you want more, you can only find the core that is hidden deeper."

"Although I think what Mr. Luo said is reasonable..." Youxiang thought for a while, and she said, "But I still think that Mr. Kagawa is not a bad person."

"yes."

"Hmm. It's not because he's good-looking!" Youxiang emphasized this on purpose, and she said, "I don't have any evidence, it's just... intuition. He's a good guy. At least he's not that bad..."

He treats everyone with courtesy, regardless of their identity.Although he did look aloof, with either a professional smile or a deadpan expression on his face.But it doesn't just ignore anyone because of this.Even if the status and status are high, no matter what you can do, you can still tolerate others.

"But my words have no reference value... Matthew and the others said that I think everyone is a good person~" Youxiang said not confidently, "But but! After we went to Penderga before, we did know a lot about The matter of Yi Leng... Or rather, I met 'Yi Leng', Mr. Luo! And Mom!"

"Mom?" What do you mean?

"I saw my mother!" Youxiang laughed happily, and she took out the small pendant Sabo gave her.The pendant box was just enough to put the crystal in. She opened the box, and the crystal reflected a beautiful purple light. At the same time, her mother's portrait appeared in the sky, "Look!"

This is!Mother-in-law?As expected of her, her appearance is also very beautiful and dignified, she must be very gentle when she smiles.Mother-in-law... you can safely hand over Youxiang to me!

A strange line appeared in Luo's mind.He looked at the portrait of Youxiang's mother, although he didn't know how she got it, but looking at her smile now, it didn't matter: "It's really great, Youxiang. I met my mother..."

"Yeah!" Youxiang smiled happily. She put away the small pendant, grabbed Luo's sleeve and continued, "Then, let me tell you, Mr. Luo! Sabo~ Sabo is still alive! It's amazing, yes No! I want to tell Luffy about this quickly! He must be very happy too!"

Who is Sabo!never mind!Whoever he is!It's great that you're alive, Sabo-kun...

Luo was a little overexcited because he was treated as a 'friend' and talked about happy topics.Even if he didn't have any other reaction on the surface.Fortunately, he immediately came to his senses: "By the way, Youxiang. So, Matthew, Mr. Cora, and Ace's family are all on the island, right?"

"Well, and Sabo too...Speaking of which, Mr. Luo, there is actually a dragon on this island!"

"That's a Vegapunk experiment." Have you seen it already?Luo replied, "The island is a bit dangerous now. Although it seems that there is no one in the sea. But in fact, it was abandoned. It was occupied by a scumbag."

"..." I always feel that Mr. Luo has skipped a lot of things.Youxiang paused for a while, and finally couldn't help asking, "What is Mr. Luo doing here?"

"...Do you remember what I said about going to that person for revenge?"

"Ah."

"That's what I'm doing. Start here. Soon, the Straw Hats will come here. I'll need their power... I'll ask him for an alliance and kidnap Caesar Courant here. This It's part of the plan." It's the most important part, and it must be successful here, otherwise there is no way to negotiate with that guy without any bargaining chips in hand.

Luo said: "If you want to do this, not only Doflamingo, but also Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, will become the enemy of Kaido. I don't know what will happen to the head of the straw hat—"

"He would say 'Okay, let's do it!' Like that." Then there is no need to ask, because he is Luffy... Youxiang sighed, she interrupted Luo and said, "Mr. Luo. Luffy Since he was a child, he was a guy who could easily trust others, and Mr. Luo saved Ace and me, and even saved him. So he must have no doubts about Mr. Luo's words..."

"No matter what request you ask, he will agree to you. Even if he wants to be an enemy of everyone, he will definitely help you, and he will trust you and treat you as a companion and friend. But ah... Luffy is a very, very important person to me. .It is as important as Ace and Sabo. I don't want to see him get hurt...I can't stop Mr. Luo or Luffy from making a decision, so can Mr. Luo promise me?"

"Don't hurt his feelings. Don't lie to him. Okay?"

You can also trust me a little bit, I am not that kind of person... Although, as an important family member, it is not unreasonable to emphasize this, after all, this is going to be an enemy of the Four Emperors, and the future life is probably not going to be easy.Luo replied, "Ah. I promise you. I will not deceive him, let alone betray him."

"Yeah!" I believe you too.Youxiang smiled, and she said, "That's great...I didn't expect Luffy to come here too! This way I can see him sooner! Then tell him about Sabo!"

"Sabo... who the hell is you Xiang?"

"It's brother!"

"Huh? Brother...?"

"Ah Autumn!"

Sabo sneezed.Was it choked by the thick smoke... He wiped his nose, feeling as if he was being nagged by someone.

"Have you caught a cold, Sabo?" Ace glanced at his brother, and expressed his condolences by the way.

"I don't have a cold! Come on..." Sabo said, looking at the volcano that had been 'filled up' in front of him, "It's a tie again."

"It's really helpless... Now we can only draw a tie." Ace put his hips on his hips, he muttered something, then turned and left, "Okay, let's go back!"

"Wait a minute! Do you know how to get back!" I don't know the way at all!There was thick smoke billowing and fires everywhere...Sabo chased after him and said, "Youxiang may have left without waiting for us!"

"Surely not waiting! Isn't Matthew the best at leaving us alone!" Ace said that this is not a matter of course, he said, "But he said that the place to go is on the other side of the island, let's go straight there We should be able to meet them!"

"Hey..." Is it really okay...but forget it.Sabo gave up thinking, he said, "Matthew should have a way to find us when he needs it."

"That's right." Ace agreed to let other people think about this matter, he said, "But... I'm a little worried about Youxiang."

"She's all right." With Matthew there would be no problem.When I was a child, I realized that Matthew was very partial to her.Sabo said, "Speaking of which, do you still remember Ace, she used to run behind us, although she couldn't catch up at all!"

"Why are you talking about that time... At that time, we were basically bullying her, right?"

"It doesn't count! I run back to pick her up every time!"

"You've been so cunning since then... No wonder..."

No wonder Youxiang calls your name every time.She likes you more.Ace didn't finish his sentence, and the mood now is completely different from before, so it can't be compared.When I was young, little boys really didn't like to play with girls. Although they didn't hate Youxiang, their personality and body were really different...

So sometimes I deliberately avoid her.Now that I think about it, I'm really too much.He obviously heard Youxiang calling him all the time, but hid himself and didn't show up. Seeing her about to cry, he didn't feel any wavering in his heart.Are you a devil... The little brat really doesn't understand anything!

While condemning himself when he was young, Ace walked forward: "She shouldn't hold grudges so much..."

"Hahahahaha..." What are you talking about... Sabo laughed, and he said, "Probably not. You just avoided her on purpose and called her 'long-winded', 'weak' and 'cry-loving' 'Timid', made her cry countless times... But you were responsible for coaxing it later, let's say it's an apology, so I think it's okay! Probably!"

"Why do you remember so clearly!" There are so many times!Ace said, "You did too! You—wait a minute, you..."

"That's right, I have never made Youxiang cry!" Sabo showed a 'satisfied' expression, and he said, "At least I didn't when I was a child! Now...she seems to cry more easily... a bit It's difficult!"

"That's to say, I don't know what she's thinking at all, and she won't tell when I ask her...although..." Although it's a bit exaggerated to say so, the way she cried is also kind of cute.Ace paused for a long time, as if recalling someone's smiling face, then he suddenly said, "What does Youxiang think?"

"By the way, speaking of this, I have a serious problem to tell you, Ace." Sabo suddenly showed a serious expression, and he said, "Youxiang, she seems to regard us as brothers."

"…………what?"

"I mean she only sees us as brothers."

"what?"

"You look too surprised, don't you?"

"This is the expression I will show when I am too desperate. But... I also expected this." Ace also said solemnly, "Did you know that before this, she actually called me 'Daddy' No problem or anything..."

"Huh—??" What is that, why!Suddenly the level of perversion is up a notch!Sabo was too surprised to speak.

"I feel like I'm a pervert." Ace understood Sabo's mood, he said, "That's why I said I don't know what she is thinking at all. But ah... If you explain it to her, it will be inevitable become……"

"Confession."

"Yes."

"........."

"Think of a way, Sabo!"

"What can I do! And it's starting to get weird for the two of us to discuss this issue! Let's stop!"

"It's so troublesome... Forget it. Don't think about it and it's over." Ace gave up thinking, "Just let it be! No matter what, how I want to treat it is my own business, as long as I love her That's it!!"

"I'll take it as a gauntlet when you say that so loudly in front of me, Ace."

"Then I've won this round."

"You won! I didn't admit defeat! Another round!"

"Hahahaha! You can't beat me...then the first one to reach the lab that Matthew mentioned?"

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

The author has something to say:

You Xiang: Ah Chirp! !

Luo: Is it still cold?

Youxiang: It must be because some two idiots started talking about me... I don’t want to talk to them, huh

(Some two people are still flattered, but they have actually been 'revenged')

Next chapter... Matthew will bring something handsome enough to make Luffy faint.
