[One Piece] Isano's Rebel

Recalling her daughter's story, the old woman's eyes and brows were full of warmth, "At that time, there was a kind of 'fire syrup' popular in Candy Town, and the secret syrup in the glass bottle needed to be roasted with a precisely controlled flame to burn it out. It's a very difficult thing to do anyway. She's always clamoring to make her own fire syrup. Here's the candy she made out of the only bottle of fire syrup she ever made."

Having said that, Bazel couldn't help but interjected, "But Miss Geraldine is really amazing! Later, she really became a person with the ability to burn fruit - and she is also a powerful big pirate!"

As soon as the words came out, Ace immediately froze in place.He subconsciously looked at Adelina who was standing by the counter.

Bazel thought that Ace was very interested in his topic, so he happily continued, "I worked for Mrs. Jenny since I was a child, so..."

Adelina, who had been counting shopping paper bags with her eyes lowered, suddenly interrupted Bazel at this moment, "Bazel——I have to hurry to buy the limited edition cotton candy that Chichila likes." Then she turned her head and smiled at Mrs. Jenny, "I don't have time to stay for snacks today, I'm sorry, Mrs. Jenny." After she finished speaking, she winked at Ace.

Although Ace didn't quite understand what happened, he still followed Adelina's footsteps with interest.

Bazel was stunned for a moment, with a look of disappointment on his face.Mrs. Jenny was not angry at Adelina's sudden departure, but nodded to her gently.

After Adelina and Ace left.Bazel, who started to tidy up the house on a daily basis, counted the number of finished candies at the counter, and then turned to the bottles of syrup on the wooden shelf, "Ms. Jenny, it seems that our syrup is almost sold out?"

"So soon?"

"Yes, some time ago a strange customer came to buy three quarters of the fire syrup. He didn't look like a businessman, but he was very interested in this." Bazel recalled the appearance of the man , "It should be a layman. He wears a hat that completely covers his hair, as well as sunglasses and a mask. He doesn't look like the original at all. But he speaks very politely, and I don't think he looks like a bad person."

Mrs. Jenny nodded, and calmly walked to the Dogger Sandalwood Stand, and picked up the yellowed label.

"By the way, Mrs. Jenny, is that the pirate 'Fire Fist' just now..." Bazel frowned, as if he was trying to remember the appearance of the man who just came with Adelina, "It should be that he didn't wrong."

Seeing that Mrs. Jenny didn't reply, Bazel's voice to himself slowly lowered, "Although he looks very manly...but to be honest, he's not as good-looking as that bastard boy Boridon. "

After hearing the familiar name, Mrs. Jenny smiled. Her rough fingers stroked the immature handwriting on the label, and a vicissitudes of life and a peaceful voice came out of her throat——

"Every time I see Dinah, I can always think of you and that boy from Isano's family."

After coming out of Mrs. Jenny's candy workshop, Adeline led Ace around absent-mindedly. After Ace realized that she was indeed walking aimlessly, he walked a few steps faster and stopped in front of her. , "Where are we going now?"

"... To be honest, I don't know either."

"Don't tell me you're lost." Ace saw how she had just recovered, and took the paper bag in her hand while she didn't notice.

"No way." Adeline retorted subconsciously, "I don't know how many times I've been here."

"That's good." Ace breathed a sigh of relief, flipped the paper bag back, put it on his shoulder, and grinned at her, "Let's go then."

Adelina looked at her empty palms, and then at the tattoo pattern of the Whitebeard Pirates on the broad back of the man walking in front, she let out an oh, and just as she was about to follow his footsteps, she found the man in front of her. A small black shadow appeared on the ground.

Ace also noticed this, and the two looked up together, and found dozens of gulls delivering newspapers hovering in the blue sky.

Dozens of gulls dived to the ground in unison, the scene looked really spectacular.Among them was a gull bird wearing a special navy cap and rushed straight towards Adeline and Ace. Adeline didn't seem to like the feathers flying around. She subconsciously took a step back and squinted her eyes. That big guy that's a little bit different from the other seagulls.Finally her gaze settled on the hat on the seagull's head.

Ace didn't think there was anything, he took out a newspaper from the seagull's mail backpack, nothing special, just an ordinary newspaper.He didn't know why Adelina watched the seagull delivering the letter with such vigilant eyes, until he followed Adeline's gaze and looked at the hat on the head of the seagull——on the white canvas material, there was a line embroidered English alphabet.

"I don't know who is so capable, using Isano's bird to deliver the letter..."

Adelina didn't look unusual, she took the newspaper that Ace handed her while talking, and the moment her eyes fell on the headlines on the front page, the end of her words disappeared.

Ace didn't know what news made her stunned for a while, he leaned over to her, took a look, and was also stunned.

"Qiqila got caught?!"

The two looked at each other in disbelief.

In the photo, Qiqila's hands are bound by Hailoushi handcuffs, facing the camera sideways, he is tied to a chair, and seems to be staring at someone.

"'Air Blade' Qiqila was arrested and is now being taken to the deep sea prison of the Navy Headquarters..." Ace read the title word by word, but hesitated a little while reading the last few words, and looked at him suspiciously. Adelina pointed to the last few words of the title with her slender fingers, "What is this?"

In their newspaper, the deep sea prison of the Navy Headquarters was crossed out with a black pen and rewritten as the Eastern Division of the Navy's E6 Branch.

Followed by a smiley face pattern.

This handwriting is like a printout printed by a machine, and it is impossible to recognize who wrote it.

Adeline could hardly believe her eyes.

E6 Branch East.

"This place has long since disappeared." Adelina looked at those words and said word by word.

The eastern part of the E6 branch should have disappeared from this world long ago.

with that person's life.

As a former navy, she would know that this place was gone - Ace didn't think there was anything wrong with it.But he couldn't ignore the intricate expression on the woman's face, he said sharply, "But it's written here, of course it has its purpose."

Adelina glanced at him and clenched the newspaper in her hand.The man was right.

There must be a purpose for it.

After a long silence, Adelina spoke——

"I'll save him. You'd better contact Sage on the way back to the Moby Dick. Qiqila went to sea with him before, even if they were separated, he would definitely know where Qiqila went. .”

She just took a few steps forward when someone grabbed her wrist immediately. She looked back at Ace, not knowing what he was going to do.

Warm palms covered her slender wrists. I don't know if it's because this person has the ability to burn fruits, and his skin temperature seems to be higher than that of ordinary people.

Adeline's calm appearance was seen by Ace, and it was indeed no different from usual.

He might be able to let it go, if he ignored her fingers pinching the newspaper tightly and her quivering pupils just now.

"As the captain of the second team, I think I should have the obligation to protect the team members, right?"

The handsome black-haired man faced her against the light, showing a smile that was warmer and brighter than the sunlight.

……

In a small boat sailing at sea, a man is leaning against the door frame of the cabin, with his arms crossed, smiling and watching the macro scene of the postmen dropping newspapers.He gently stretched out his hand and caught a falling newspaper.The man in the hat took off the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, lowered his eyes, and the newspaper in his hand was blown away by the cool sea breeze.

"Yeah. It's finally sent out." He nodded and let out a low laugh in his throat.

He put on his sunglasses again, walked into the cabin with a newspaper, and aimed at the photo on the little boy drinking sugar water in the room, "Hey, isn't the photo good?"

Qiqila's hands were handcuffed by Hailoushi and could only be placed on his knees.On his lap was a long glass bottle with a straw in it so he could hold onto it and drink sugar water.Although he could drink his favorite syrup prepared with fire syrup, Qiqila still didn't like the mysterious guy in front of him. He glanced at the old-fashioned camera in the room - it was this thing that took pictures of himself. After looking at the photo, he glanced at the man standing at the door again and said nothing.

"Don't worry, this shit doesn't have the function of video recording." The man walked to the camera and blew lightly. The dust on the camera immediately dispersed. Throwing it, I saw the camera draw a perfect arc in the air, pass through the half-open window, and fall outside the window.

Chichila heard a splash, like a heavy object falling into the water.

"I'm not that wicked. I'll record a video of you and monitor you 24 hours a day." The man's voice was very nice, and it didn't sound like any threat.He pulled out a chair and sat five meters away from Qiqila.

"Why did you arrest me?" Chichira finally spoke.

Qiqila thought he was not weak, and he was also one of the fighters of the second team, but before he was caught, this man was fighting with him—he could feel that the opponent only used half of his strength.

And... recalling the sound of his own air blade cutting on that person, he always felt a little weird.

It was the first time I saw that someone would not be injured by his air blade, and no blood would flow.

"It's not my intention to catch you. I just went out to do a mission and passed Minos Island on the way back. As a navy, if you see a pirate, there's no reason not to catch it."

The man slowly took a glass, poured half a glass of sugar water, and took a sip.

Qiqila suddenly remembered something, and asked loudly, "You obviously chased me into the maze, and you already know who is locked in the maze. Since it is the navy, why didn't you save Doug?!"

"Oh. So the guy who was locked up as a monster is called Doug." The man looked indifferent, "I can't control things on the table. But I have already notified a lieutenant general, and he will take people to Minos Island. The naval captain who disappeared some time ago was originally one of his subordinates—well, your naval friend Doug.”

His final words were extremely heavy, as if he was reminding Qiqila something.

Qiqila glared at him, "Doug and I are friends, it has nothing to do with status. Besides, it's not that there are no good guys in the navy. When I was in Candy City, I used to be Adelina and..."

He stopped mid-sentence.

The man suddenly became interested, "With whom?"

Chichira looked away, refusing to answer the question.To be honest, he didn't even know the name of the silver-haired boy who saved his life with Adelina back then.

He dared not look directly at the man.Even through a pair of sunglasses, Qiqila could still feel the sharp and cold gaze of the man, which could not be concealed by the gentle tone of the man's real hostility.

The air was suddenly quiet.After a long silence, the man stood up from the chair with his knees propped up.The glass of sugar water has been drunk to the bottom.He walked past Qiqila, and patted Qiqila on the head by the way——

"Smart little guy."

"It's meaningless to mention the name of the dead."

The man's voice still seemed peaceful, but Qiqila could hear the sharp coldness in it like a blade.

This man's skin has no human temperature.

The author has something to say:

Huge amount of information hmm.
