[One Piece] Chasing the Eagle

Tree No. 35 in Chambord Islands.

Ten minutes later, Sengoku, who won without any suspense, easily stopped and left, leaving a group of naval soldiers and a rear admiral to clean up the mess.

Everyone surrounded the defeated general of the Warring States Period, waiting for him to fall.

Mihawk gritted his teeth, inserted the black knife deeply into the ground, held the handle of the knife in his hand, and stood with it as a support.

He was shaking all the time, stubbornly refusing to bend even his knees, let alone fall.

At this moment on his body—whether it is the wound left by Ada biting on his shoulder, the wound caused by Doflamingo in the decisive battle on Isle of Love, the shot Ada shot close to his heart, or the The large and small scars left a few months ago, none of them are intact, all of them are cracked!

The gurgling blood gushed out, soaking his snow-white clothes until there were only sporadic white spots left.

The blood-red, wet shirt stuck to Mihawk's skin, and the blood continued to dry up, sticking the skin and the cloth together, and then tore it apart with his body movements!Fresh blood poured out!

Under the stimulation of external objects, the flesh under the skin produced fiery burning pain, just like naked sarcasm and ridicule, stimulating Mihawk's already angry and unwilling heart!

But these are nothing!

Even the internal injury that the shock wave of the Warring States Period shattered his internal organs was less than one ten-thousandth of the heartache!

Ada!

Ada! ! !

Mihawk wobbled and held the knife to stand firm, and within a few seconds, he showed a tendency to crumble again.

For the first time in 21 years, he didn't care so much about winning or losing, nor did he care whether the opponent in front of him was a navy or a pirate, let alone whether the opponent was a general or a soldier.

The wound bursts, what is it!

What is it to be defeated!

——He has already lost, both inexplicably and clearly.

He had lost to Ada, to the woman he had fallen in love with for the first time in his life, to the woman he had fallen in love with for the last time in his life.

Mihawk understands that what Ada said just now is not half true, she is not that good at acting, even if her acting skills are greatly improved, her eyes cannot deceive people.

He remembered her nostalgic look back at him before she left with Shanks on Beer Island two years ago;

He remembered her daze and the violent shaking of her eyes when she saw him on Beer Island two years later;

He remembered her gaze every night before going to bed, as if she wanted to look into his heart;

He remembered the confusion and endless love in her eyes when she groaned softly under him...

A hot blood flowed from the wound on Mihawk's head and flowed into his golden eyes filled with unwillingness.

Blood overflowed his eye sockets, irritating his tear ducts.

Tears and blood mixed together, spilled out of the eye sockets, and flowed down the cheeks.

Ada, why did you sacrifice yourself!

She knelt down, kneeling on the grass, kneeling in Mihawk's eyes, kneeling on the tip of Mihawk's heart.

She is a treasure that he holds in his hands for fear of falling, and holds in his mouth for fear of melting. She always does not understand what she means to him.

He wasn't worth her giving up her freedom for his!

In fact, Mihawk who thought this way also underestimated the importance of himself in Ada's heart.

They are such a pair of lovers who do not hesitate to torture themselves for each other.

Ada, how many times he called her in his heart, begged her to stay.

But she still left, she walked decisively, without hesitation...

Mihawk only felt that the blood gushing from the wounds had taken away the temperature in his body, and his internal organs were becoming shattered. Although his heart was intact, it seemed that he would no longer jump for joy and returned to the original calm.

While the navy waited impatiently, he swayed more and more, the blood from his body soaked the ground under his feet, and the people around him also persisted and endured, and they secretly admired him more and more.

Eventually, Mihawk fell.

Lost consciousness.

The bodyguards of the "Dragon Man" Shalulia Palace reappeared from nowhere, and under the concession of the navy, they put the blood-soaked Mihawk on a folding stretcher and carried him away...

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

Lawless zone, Shaoqi's bar.

Ada led Brother Ming into the empty bar.

Looking around, Lei Li and Shao Qi are not there.It is very likely that she and Mihawk went to look for it after hearing that something happened, and happened to get separated from them.

In any case, even if Rayleigh went, it would not be saved.After all, the other party is a Celestial Dragon, isn't it?

However, even if the navy gave Raleigh face and released Mihawk and Ida, what about the future?

Her illness no longer allowed Mihawk to stay by her side.

It's better to let her suffer alone than to suffer for both of them.

Ada went to her former bedroom, took a whole box of pills sent by "Ying" and Kulokas, left a note on the bar, simply wrote "I'm gone, don't look for it" After signing these five words, he and Brother Ming went straight out the door and walked towards the port.

There have long been merchant ships under the Don Quixote family waiting there in the port.

"Ada, where do you want to go?" Brother Ming stood on the deck, looked at Ada who had been sitting on the edge of the boat without saying a word, with a calm and calm face since boarding the boat, and asked in a slightly cautious tone. .

Ada lowered her eyes, looking at the sea water that stirred up small waves as the boat moved forward, and remained silent.

This kind of her is different from what Brother Ming expected.

He was waiting for her in the Chambord Islands to beg her to cure her illness, but he didn't expect that he would come out of the Warring States halfway and directly help him solve that troublesome guy, Hawkeye, and even "give a marriage" to him Him and Ada!

Why did Warring States want Ada to marry him?

Ida is his undercover agent?impossible!If it was an undercover agent, it would be impossible for them to get married in such a grand manner.

Is Ada a tool used by Sengoku to achieve a certain purpose?Yes, it is possible.

Oh, ridiculous!Life is like a play, he was rejected by her the day before, and she actually abandoned Hawkeye the day after!

Brother Ming knew that Ada's abandonment of Hawkeye was due to his unsophisticated acting skills, but why didn't he participate in this kind of drama that only needed his cooperation to get benefits? !

In fact, until now, Brother Ming no longer understands what he is after about Ada.Is it her body?Is it her heart?Or is it just to defeat Hawkeye by any means?Or...to realize a dream of my own childhood...?

Compared with Brother Ming's complex heart, Ada's heart is now empty.

It seems that a black hole is gradually growing in her left chest, expanding more and more, sucking in all the emotions inherent in human beings, such as joy, anger, sorrow, and joy in her heart... Finally, Including the whole heart, it is sucked in, and the empty black hole is there.

She felt that the advancing boat didn't move, the sea water receded rapidly, the waves were always the same, she seemed to be able to sit on the edge of the boat and look down for a whole day without getting bored.

The sun shone warmly on Ada's cold back, like a hug, like the body temperature of a person under the blanket in the morning.

Ah, seems to have had a long dream...

After waking up, Dover was still by her side, and she was still on Dover's boat.

She felt that since she got on Dover's ship in Rogue Town, she seemed to have been on his ship and had never been anywhere else... Maybe she fell into a coma after being rescued by Dover from falling into the mouth of a sea king, Only then will there be so many sweet dreams and nightmares alternately.

Now, it seems to wake up from all the dreams.

Ada raised her head and shifted her gaze from the sea under the boat to Brother Ming.

Someone respectfully brought a high chair for Brother Ming, and he put it beside Ada and sat down.

Ada looked down Brother Ming's face and saw him holding her hand, which seemed to be for a long time.

The ring finger of the left hand is empty, and the wrist is also empty.

"Dover." Ada said suddenly, very softly, very softly.

"What's wrong?" Brother Ming hurriedly replied.

When she finally spoke, she seemed unaware that she had sat here without moving for more than half an hour.She turned a deaf ear to anything he asked her, as if immersed in some kind of illusion.

"Did you give me a bracelet when I was in Alabasta?" She looked at him with a smile: "I like it, is it still there?"

"It's still there." Brother Ming replied, stretching out his hand to caress her cheek: "It's in Ai Mei Island, and I'll put it on for you as soon as I get back."

Ada smiled and nodded, but her eyes were wandering, as if she had lost her soul.

She let Brother Ming hold her hands and stroke her cheeks.

She could no longer feel any meaning or emotion in his touch.

"I'm so tired." Ada got off the side of the boat and said slowly to Brother Ming, then she pulled her hand out of his palm: "I want to take a break, Dover."

Hearing this, Brother Ming hurriedly stood up, and personally led her into the bedroom prepared for the young master by the crew on the merchant ship.

Ada took off her shoes and socks and stepped barefoot on the wooden floor.

Wearing a white dress and bare feet, she looked very weak at the moment. Brother Ming was afraid that she would fall to the ground, so he hurriedly picked her up, put her on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.

While Ada didn't struggle, she closed her eyes gently without saying a word.

Cut off everyone and everything except yourself.

Brother Ming squatted down and looked at Ada's sleeping face.

At this moment, she seemed to be crystal clear and fragile, as if a shaking of the ship would shake her to pieces.

Stupid woman, he still remembers the last time she left Hawkeye, weeping loudly in his arms, pear blossoms brought rain.

If she could cry a little like she did last time, even shed a tear or two...he would feel a little more at ease.

But she was so peaceful, Brother Ming thought she would blame him, but she didn't show any signs of resentment.

She has sealed herself off and set up an invisible "bronze wall and iron wall" around her.

Ada, you woman.

Today you are wearing my favorite white skirt, just like the white skirt of childhood.

Combing my favorite flower bud head, just like the flower bud head in childhood.

But it gave me the most gentle but most indifferent appearance and expression.

How much I wish you could cry in my arms and wash away the past with tears, but you just kept that person in your heart.

You won't find out—your restraint, your patience, even your deadpan expression, are unintentionally replicating that man.

I know, you probably... will never forget him.

The author has something to say:

There is no more grief than death, no more sorrow than silence.
