[Comprehensive] Cardiac Arrest

×××

……

Beiye Sea, the back mountain of Swallow Island.

"...Hey, can you train with me? I have someone I want to kill no matter what."

After getting rid of the giant sea kings that only appeared for a limited time, and witnessing Fengxin's terrifying strength and fighting sense, Luo finally couldn't hold back and opened his mouth.

...Yes, he wanted to kill Doflamingo no matter what.

But on that snowy island, he deeply understood the gap in strength between himself and that person.

Whether it's combat power or power, he still has a lot to learn.

Moreover, if he wanted to kill Doflamingo, he definitely couldn't use the ability that that person's family taught him!He wants to use what he studied and what Corazon gave him... Thinking of this, Luo's eyes gradually became dark.

And Fengxin, who had been carrying Luo on his back and dragging the crab at the same time, stopped in his footsteps. Hearing Luo's sudden request, he thought for a moment, and then said lightly: "I'm not good at it."

Feng Xin's tone was a bit alienated, she lowered her eyes halfway, thought for a while and stuffed all the sweet potatoes into Luo's hands: "If you have time to think about this, why not help me carry the sweet potatoes."

"what?"

"Who do you think is behind your back now?"

"understood……"

Being directly ignored, Luo was a little dissatisfied.

Even so, he obediently took what Feng Xin handed over.

After all, he was supposed to go to the address to pick up the potatoes according to Fengxin's instructions, and he shouldn't follow Fengxin's mission location without authorization. Now he is not only not helpful, but also dragging his feet, so it may be that if he doesn't cooperate a little bit now. It will be thrown here by Fengxin.

As for letting Fengxin accompany him to train... Luo frowned. Although he wanted to persuade her again, he still couldn't think of a way to make the cold Fengxin compromise, so he could only swallow all the words abruptly.

——Anyway, he will definitely let her agree in the future!

Luo thought angrily, and then held the sweet potato with his mouth puffed out and didn't speak.

And Fengxin, who was carrying Luo on his back, was satisfied to find that he finally stopped talking, so he returned to look at the road with a calm expression.

Anyone who wants to be killed no matter what...

……

Swallow Island, Citrus Village.

Carrying Luo and the giant crab back to the village, Fengxin succeeded in defeating the Neptune who had troubled the villagers for a long time. The news spread all over the island - hearing that the ferocious Neptune who always prevented the villagers from going out to sea and stealing fish from the fishing ground was finally killed, the villagers All of them expressed their highest gratitude to Fengxin.

"Xiao Fengxin, the food that I promised you will definitely be delivered to your home tomorrow!"

It was the village head of Citrus Village who spoke. He patted Fengxin's shoulder gratefully, and sent a bag of potatoes in a sack to Fengxin, with an obvious joy on his face.And the rest of the villagers in Citrus Village all came out of the house, and saw that the sea king that they hated was finally made, and all of them were happy to circle around and dance to celebrate.

"...Well." Not affected by the festive scene, Fengxin nodded calmly as always, and casually threw the more than ten kilograms of potatoes to Luo who was following behind her. Ignoring his complaints, she spoke sincerely again. "By the way, village chief, can you answer a question for me?"

"...You said it!" The village chief smiled happily, and patted Fengxin's arm again—speaking of which, when he first came to the village, he thought this strange girl was a bad person?But it turns out that he is just a strong, capable and obedient kid who can do any job. Since he came here, he has helped deal with the problems in the village a lot, which is very attractive.

"Hmm... how do you make crabs delicious? I want to take a crab claw." With a very serious face, Feng Xin asked about crabs.I saw her sincerely looking at the village head with a pair of blue eyes. Although there was no smile at the corner of her mouth and her expression was cold, she was not annoying.

"You... are still so greedy! Fresh ones are delicious! It's also very good to make crab meat soup." The village chief thought for a while, and then read the recipe directly: "First remove the crab shell Take out the crab meat, add a little wine to remove the fishy smell, and other ingredients can be tofu, eggs, and vegetables, boiled in broth...the remaining crab meat can also be used for fried rice... Wait, have you started peeling the crab claws?! You Can you eat it all by yourself?"

"I'll eat with him." Feng Xin, who couldn't bear it in the middle of the conversation with the village chief, ran to the crab and took off the crab's claws with a parasol. The rough behavior and the villagers who are completely used to it, and they have to hypnotize that everything they see in front of them is a normal scene...

No, a little girl is drooling and holding a crab claw ten times bigger than herself, is it really normal? ?Roger stared at her in disgust.

"Xiao Fengxin's way of preparing ingredients is also very healing..." Unexpectedly, the villagers in the village watched all this happen with peaceful expressions.

"..." Luo felt aggrieved.

……

...

After helping the villagers disintegrate the crabs, Fengxin and Luo went back to their home together with the giant ingredients.

After a tiring day, Luo, who helped carry the twenty catties of potatoes, finally collapsed on the floor.

And Fengxin, whose physical strength has always been bottomless, naturally started to deal with her crab meat banquet immediately.

"Hey, that race called Night Rabbit, do all of them have such a big appetite?"

"If you don't eat more, how can you have the strength to fight?" Feng Xin raised the hand holding the kitchen knife expressionlessly, and without a word, he hit a crack in the giant crab claw.

"..." Luo stared dead, thought for a while, and then obediently peeled the potatoes.

"You are very familiar with the way you use a knife." Fengxin glanced at him, seeing that he had perfectly peeled off the potato skin with a knife, and before peeling off the excess meat, he admired it expressionlessly.

And Luo looked down at the knife in his hand, and unconsciously recalled how he used to dissect small animals with a scalpel in his mind.

"I am used to it."

"Get used to what?"

"I used to love dissecting cadavers for research."

"yes."

Feng Xin's expression was calm, his eyes fell on the dark circle on Luo's eye socket, and he continued to dig out the crab meat with tools.

"Don't you think I'm weird?" Seeing that the girl's reaction was flat, Luo looked up at her again, and all the movements of his hands stopped.

"Ordinary." Fengxin replied casually: "Everyone is strange."

Including her, she never considered herself a normal person since she was a child.

And there were no normal people around her, and she didn't lead any normal life.

Even if the cohabitation life with Luo is not normal now, what can surprise her?

"You, when I said today that I wanted to kill someone, my expression was calm." Luo stared at Fengxin's back, obviously she looked about the same age as him, but he always felt mature from her.

Fengxin didn't answer Luo's question, but poured the rice wine into the crab meat quite intently.

And Luo stood beside her. He was a little shorter than her, so he felt like Fengxin's younger brother.

But even so, Luo spoke to Fengxin without any honorifics.

"It is said that you came to Yanzi Island only a week earlier than me?" He was also surprised when he learned from the villagers today - no wonder there is nothing in this house except basic supplies. It turns out that Fengxin is also a newcomer like him. .

"Yes." Fengxin nodded, and threw away the crab shell.

"Then where are you from? East China Sea?" Luo asked, staring at her.

"..." Fengxin's action of handling crab meat stopped again.

—Yes, where did she come from?

Feng Xin was in a daze, his brows slightly frowned.

The research institute where she was originally staying was an island that would float everywhere on the sea, and there were no specific coordinates. If anything, it was probably near the West Sea.

But she is not sure how she came to Swallow Island. After all, after the accident, she woke up again, and she was already on Swallow Island, and her body went back to the age of twelve or thirteen. According to the world year, She has indeed returned to the past.

So, the answer to this question can be said to be...

Did she come from the "future"?

But according to her memory, when she was twelve or thirteen years old, she was not on this Swallow Island, but on...the planet of Yetu.

So, would Luo believe such an ambiguous answer?

And Luo noticed the sudden silence that Fengxin fell into, and the undisguised expression of confusion on his face, and a trace of concern emerged in his heart.

After all, this is the first time they have seen this kind of expression and eyes on Fengxin's face since they got together for half a month - she usually has a calm and composed face, so would she be in a daze like this?Still troubled by his questions?

"What's so difficult about this question?" Luo asked in bewilderment.

"No," Feng Xin came back to his senses, and replied with downcast eyes: "But I don't know where I come from."

"How could you not know?" Luo frowned, and was about to open his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Feng Xin.

"Compared to me, what is the ability of your devil fruit?"

Putting the questions that he didn't understand directly into the back of his mind, Fengxin threw various materials into the giant iron pot, and began to cut ingredients such as tofu and vegetables into bite-sized pieces.

Then, she asked another question that she was a little concerned about just now in the back mountain.

——Does she remember that Luo said that there is someone who must be killed no matter what?

Even though he seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, he was able to say that without hesitation.Moreover, since he is a devil fruit capable user, he is not afraid of that kind of sea king. Although his strength is obviously unable to match the thing just now, he must have been in the sea.

Sure enough, this little ghost she picked up randomly was sent here after going through some things in the past, and he must not be compared with ordinary children in the village.

So thinking of this, Fengxin also decided to change his previous style of having nothing to do with himself, and asked about Luo.

Don't ask about the past, just ask about the ability of Luo's devil fruit.

"...Don't change the subject!" Luo showed dissatisfaction, originally his attention was still on Fengxin's birthplace, why did the topic suddenly shift to himself?

Speaking of which, he was unwilling to directly tell Fengxin his devil fruit ability - after all, talking about this would really bring back a painful memory for him.

It will remind him of Corazon's sacrifice, of Doflamingo's cold-bloodedness, of his own terminal illness, and of the past he was despised by others...

Thinking of this, Luo's hand holding the knife suddenly trembled again.

"...I'm not changing the subject, I'm just curious." Fengxin squatted in front of the stove, threw the firewood into it, and calmly looked at the trembling Luo: "I couldn't answer the question you asked. .”

In other words, is he in a mess?The mention of devil fruit made him so excited?

It seems that the devil fruit should have something to do with his past pain.

Thinking of this, Fengxin's eyes flashed an unknown light again, she stood up slowly, and opened her thin lips lightly: "Is it the superhuman type? The animal type? Or... the natural type?"

"My devil fruit..." Luo's breathing gradually became short, his eyes were a little confused, and his mind gradually recalled that winter night, when Corazon fed the unpalatable heart-shaped fruit to his mouth, make him eat it—

The taste made him want to vomit, and what happened next, he... Luo's breathing gradually became rapid, looking at the girl with a calm expression in front of him, finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, and he held the knife in anger Rushing to Fengxin's location, he slashed at her body with a knife: "What does that have to do with you? Don't ask any more!"

Facing Luo's sudden attack, Fengxin naturally dodged easily. She dodged left and right to let Luo attack herself, and her eyes never stopped looking at him.

He looked like a scarred little beast, frantic and struggling to guard something with the last of his strength.

After a long time, she finally took the knife with her bare hands and tightened her fists to prevent Luo from pulling the knife out.

"If it makes you painful, don't tell me." Fengxin held the knife, and the sharp point of the knife pierced her palm, and blood overflowed from her palm.

She was already used to pain, and this little thing didn't make her feel much.

But it was Luo, ever since he realized that he had suddenly attacked Fengxin, he fell down on the ground in despair, and let go of the knife in his hand, his eyes were messed up.

Compared with his rampage, Fengxin just threw the blood-stained knife aside, took a clean gauze bandage and wrapped his hands up: "I don't have to know about you."

Luo was slightly startled, and looked at the girl's calm side face again, only to see that her fair face was rendered into a warmer color by the orange flame of the stove, she bent down gently to pick up the blood-stained knife, and the jumping fire light Reflected in her blue eyes, she looked more alive than usual.

"Although I asked you this way just now, in fact, when I rescued you, I didn't have any other thoughts or expectations for you, and I was not interested in your past. I asked you specifically because..." Fengxin thought After thinking about it, he looked at Luo again: "The ability of the devil fruit will be with you for a lifetime. Even if you don't want to, the ability will always be with you in the future."

"That's why I asked—"

"Because I feel that if you really want to kill the object of your hatred..."

"It's impossible not to at least accept and learn to use the abilities you have."

Feng Xin said softly, but with a lot of heart.

"Accepting yourself is the first step to becoming stronger."

"If you want me to practice with you, at least do that first."

Her attitude is also quite sincere.
