The colored glaze occupied Brusalino's entire field of vision, and the short and sharp chaotic voices were instantly cut off.

The underwater world is deep and quiet, and the body that has lost its support has fallen straight into the depths, all the time.

Trying to open his eyes wide, Polusalino saw countless shadows through the rapidly rolling water bubbles, probably the same drowning people as him.

The buildings in the illusion suddenly fell apart, and everyone in it was caught off guard and fell into the sea for a while.

The sky light falling from high places was flickered by the ocean currents, and in the blurred mottled light and shadow...something invisible and intangible suddenly unfolded.

What that energy is, human eyes can't see it, but the ocean currents are swirling and swirling, like an invisible hand stirring the entire sea area.

It also makes the people in it roll violently.

Polusalino subconsciously tightened his arms, tightly protecting the unconscious man in his arms, and refused to let go even though the running water lurking beside him was tearing fiercely.

The sea is the nemesis of devil fruit users. Even if Shard Island rejects all reality and suddenly falls into the sea, the water pressure surging up from all directions will make the body send out protest signals.

Struggling to escape from the turbulent current like a swarm of snakes, Polusalino quickly floated up with the person in his arms.

A subtle numbness gradually emerged between the chest and abdomen bones, and the sea was surprisingly deep, and a string of blisters overflowed from the mouth and nose, which was proof of the rapid disappearance of oxygen.

The boundless blue sea is gentle and ruthless, and the sky above the head seems to be close at hand, but it is far away.

The general's cloak wrapped around Qiantui Baisui's body was loosened, and he tore it off casually, lest the water-soaked and heavy cloak become a burden and cause trouble to her.

Without the wrapping, her jet-black hair drifted away soundlessly, against the current, like seaweed stretching out with self-consciousness, filling Polusalino's field of vision densely in an instant.

Darkness was upon us.

The suspended body suddenly emptied, and Polusalino felt himself falling down again, but this time he heard a sharp piercing sound passing by his ears.

It's the sound of the wind.

He fell from a high altitude and was still drowning in the sea water for a second, but at this moment he was in a high altitude and fell rapidly.

Out of the corner of my eye, there are people falling down like rain nearby, and they are falling wetly, while below is the real human town of Shard Island. At this moment, the sky is bright, and many people on the street are looking up at the sudden 'rain'.

Exclamations came and went.

After being dazed, Polusalino quickly adjusted the angle of his body, stepping on the air and sprinting towards the slanted ground, avoiding the danger of directly hitting the building below.

……

The rain didn't last for only a few minutes, but it caused a lot of damage to the towns of Shard Island.

During the mutation, many people reacted quickly. Like Polusalino, they adjusted in mid-air and found a place nearby to land safely without any twists and turns. However, some accidents occurred due to various situations.

For example, smashing through the roof and smashing into residents' homes, such as falling in a public place, such as collapsing some buildings.

In July and August, many ships came here especially for the reputation. The people who landed have their own factions. Although the real residents of the island are not afraid, they will not take the initiative to provoke these people. There are many hotels in the town, which are basically vacant at ordinary times. Landers are allowed to stay during the Lunar Festival.

Of course, the same pirate group is basically gathered in each hotel, or forces that are not too hostile to each other.

At this time, the illusion in Lizhen suddenly disappeared, and all the outsiders were expelled. The people in mid-air were like beans in the New Year's Bean-sprinkling ceremony to exorcise evil spirits. They fell everywhere, including Polusalino. After he stood still, he found that The place where I settled down is the temporary residence of a certain pirate group.

A group of people who heard the movement and ran out of the house, after seeing clearly who was standing on the roof of the building, all of them raised their weapons in their hands and looked alert.

Glancing at the pirates who were approaching enemies, Polusalino immediately looked around, not surprisingly, he found that the town of Shard Island had become a bit chaotic, probably because of the fallen guys and the pirates who ran out to check. There was a conflict.

……

After a brief survey of the environment, Polusalino moved his feet, and was about to go to the area where the navy was stationed, but at the same time, he heard a guy in the crowd below break the silence, "Yellow monkey!"

Knowing his identity, the man lifted the gun in his hand, with a stern look on his face, "Admiral!"

Pausing slightly under his feet, lowering his eyes to look down at the several guns/mouths in the crowd below, as well as the swords aimed at him, Polusalino raised the corners of his mouth, sneered slowly, and said, "Yeah~ I'm not in the mood now If you take care of you bastards, your acquaintance will disappear soon~"

"You are at our place now, right?" The voice was a young man, whose figure suddenly appeared on the top of a high fence outside the hotel, squatting wet, with his hands on his hat, "It is you who should disappear, General Huang Yuan."

The visitor's tone was calm and firm, and he raised his head slowly when he spoke. His eyes, hidden in the shadow of the brim of his hat, were sharp and bright with an eagerness to fight.

Polusalino raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, and instantly recognized the other party's identity, "The second captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Fire Fist Portgas D. Ace."

White Beard's second captain, Fire Fist... quickly calculated the gains and losses in his mind, and Polusalino smiled regretfully, "Yeah~ You should be glad that the affairs of the new world are not within the scope of my responsibility this year."

"And Shard Island doesn't allow fighting." It's a pity, Polusalino thought, now is not a good time to go to war, although this young rising star was mentioned several times in the naval meeting.

Starting from the East China Sea, he emerged in the first half of the Great Channel. As a supernova, he rejected the proposal of Shichibukai, the king, and entered the new world to challenge Whitebeard... Fire Fist Portgas D. Ace.

According to Marshal Warring States, a hidden danger that should not be underestimated.

D, the enemy of God. '...

"Ah~ Then disappear quickly~ Admiral of the Navy." The young man grinned and was stunned for some reason after speaking.

After a while, the young man jumped up from the fence and stood in the direction Polusalino was going to go. He raised his hand and pointed in the air, and said with some uncertainty, "Wait, hold on this…"

After staring straight at it for a while, the young man's dark eyes slightly widened, "She is..."

Lowering his eyes and following the Fire Fist's line of sight, Polusalino subconsciously retracted his arms.

The admiral's cape wrapped in a thousand-year-old admiral was lost in the sea before, and now she was lying wet in his arms, because he asked him to hold her sideways, and her face happened to be exposed.

Her face was pale and bloodless, her eyes were closed, and the brows were frowning tightly, making her look extraordinarily fragile.

Slowly raising his eyes, Polusalino looked at the young man blocking the way with a good look, and felt a little displeased, "Yeah, what do you think about my wife? Fire Fist."

After the words fell, Portgas D. Ace's eyes widened, showing an extremely incredible expression, "What... what?!"

Xu Shi was quite frightened, the young man raised his voice a little, his jaw almost fell to the ground, "Your wife? But she's not..."

Polusalino didn't have time to pay attention to the other party's incoherent speech, because the pirates in the open space below were a little agitated, and when he heard him say 'wife', the line of sight projected from bottom to top was mixed with some weird meaning.

A little bit of disbelief, a little bit of cynicism, and a little bit of viciousness.

……

Thoughts flashed in a blink of an eye, Polusalino lowered his eyes and said casually, "You pirates have wives and children, and of course the navy also has them. Isn't that strange?"

"My wife is drowning, I advise you to get out of the way before I get angry."

"Portgas D. Ace."

After finishing his speech, Polusalino ignored the young people who were blocking the way, and went straight to the area where the navy was located, holding Qiansui Baisui in his arms.

When the two passed by, a complex look flashed across the brows of the young black-haired pirate, and then disappeared in a flash. Of course, he didn't do anything unnecessary, and quietly let them leave.

Polusalino knew that Fire Fist had recognized Chitose. He had heard reports from ghost spiders who stayed in the town that Fire Fist was the leader of the town this year. It was not surprising that he would recognize Chitose. .

That's why there is an interception.

And then he let it go... I'm afraid that Fire Fist's heart was touched by his words, right?

After all, it is a young man who has more compassion than other villains who are immersed in killing and plundering to dehumanize their humanity. Their hearts have not been corroded by darkness... and they still have a conscience.

Pirates have wives and children, and so do the navy.

It's just that the two camps have been fighting each other for a long time. Wasn't Teacher Zefa's wife and children killed by pirates back then?

Killing innocent women, children and children in the enemy camp out of hatred is a despicable act for naval pirates, but unfortunately the tragedy cannot stop.

There are always hopeless and insane people who will do that kind of thing. Back then, Admiral Zefa's wife and children were killed by pirates. People die without a place to bury them.

That was the only time the pirates stood by and watched their fleeing counterparts.

……

But so what?

Teacher Zefa lost his wife and children, and his heartache could not heal. The tragedy happened that year made all the teachers of their admirals cursed for the rest of their lives.

A pirate who broke a taboo is like Pandora who opened the magic box in the story of a thousand years and a hundred years.

Even though he was cast aside to die in the end, his behavior caused similar incidents to happen frequently. Although no one would triumphantly declare to the world after killing someone like that fool, people twisted by hatred secretly carried out heinous evil deeds.

In the era of great pirates, for the sake of 'freedom' and 'protection', among the prices paid by the whole world, apart from the blood that can dye the entire ocean red, the most important thing is the tears of women and children.

The family members of the navy and the women of the pirates, the two camps subconsciously hide their weaknesses, in order to prevent their wives and children from becoming the targets of the enemy to vent their anger one day.

The choice of "wife" is a long-planned announcement by Polusalino. He wanted to tell the world that thousands of years old are his people, his companions, his loved ones, and his... wife.

It's ridiculous to say that he wanted to take care of her and protect her very early on. He wanted to wrap her in exquisite silk and hide her in the depths of the palace to be isolated from the world. He wanted her eyes to be invisible except for him. man.

Years ago, he deliberately suppressed his feelings because of his pathetic man's self-esteem, and chose to position her as a companion, so that he missed the opportunity. Now...he has no scruples.

Announcing here today, I believe that the pirate who landed on Shard Island this time will quickly spread the information. At that time, she will have nowhere to go if she is marked with his admiral Huang Yuan's mark.

She was not allowed to go anywhere except by his side.

Polusalino admits to being mean.

……

Skimming a few streets, leaving the pirate gathering place far behind, Polusalino chose a secluded corner and jumped down from the house, calmed down, and walked out of the corner as if nothing had happened.

The previous commotion brought some unease to the town. There were not many pedestrians on the street, and they were cautious when passing by occasionally. Polusalino could even peep from behind the windows along the street.

I think it's the townspeople of Shard Island. They have been comfortable for so long that they don't know how to deal with disasters. They just hide quietly and put their hopes on those aliens in Lizhen.

Frowning without a trace, Polusalino is somewhat... How should I put it?He thinks that the islanders of Fragment Island hope that the aliens are actually a bit stupid, and human beings should always protect themselves.

In any case, it is unrealistic to pin your hopes on others.

Just like the islands under the command of Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, Whitebeard's power is not impenetrable. If one day the strongest man in the world dies, the islands hiding under his wings will be bloody.

Of course, Polusalino admired Edward a little bit, even though the admiral camp was opposed.Newgate, the future is unpredictable. The man's actions to protect countless civilians are actions that even the navy cannot deny...a righteous deed.

Just like the One Piece back then, most people in the world cursed and hated him, but in fact, that man never committed any injustice.

……

After walking along the street for a while, Polusalino raised his eyelids, and a group of naval soldiers in the distance appeared in sight, led by the ghost spider's adjutant, Creevey.

Seeing him, Creevey immediately stepped up to meet him, "Your Excellency, General Huang Yuan."

"Yeah~" Polusalino nodded, but he didn't stop and continued walking. He glanced at Creevey, who was half a step behind him, and asked, "Where's your officer?"

"Lieutenant General Ghost Spider has returned to the temporary residence." Creevey replied in a low voice, paused, and his tone was a bit difficult, "Mr. Huang Yuan, Lieutenant General...uh~"

"Yeah, what?" Creevey's voice was subtle, and Polusalino took the time to glance at him. Seeing the troubled expression on the usually calm adjutant's face, he found it strange, "Is the ghost spider injured?"

"Ah no." Creevey raised his hand to support the glasses on the bridge of the nose, and the corner of his mouth was twitching like a toothache. "You should go and see for yourself, and persuade the Lieutenant General by the way."

This is nonsensical... After thinking about it, Polusalino didn't ask any further questions, but just speeded up.

……

There was no words all the way, and it didn't take long for the group to return to the navy's temporary residence on Shard Island.

A hotel that is no different from the pirate gathering place is located at the other end of the town. The human town of Fragment Island is built in an open area according to the extinct volcano in the center of the island. It is fan-shaped, and the hotels for foreigners are distributed on both sides of the town. , each close to the bay.

It is a kind of convenience that the ships that land on the island stop offshore.

Also because of different positions, navy pirates and even neutral forces choose a gathering place that is far away from each other. The navy is located in this corner, and the forces that wander in the gray/color/area live next to them.

Entering the largest three-story hotel, Polusalino asked Creevey to lead the way, intending to see the ghost spider that made his subordinate adjutant full of stomachaches.

Up to the second floor, before he could stand still, Polusalino looked up and saw the ghost spider in the public hall outside the bedrooms on the second floor, pacing anxiously, rubbing his hands, and stopped to look after a few steps Look, take a few steps and stop to have a look.

The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and Polusalino wanted to roll his eyes, choking on the ghost spider's behavior of "dad-to-be outside the delivery room".

People who don't know see this scene, they will definitely think that the ghost spider is waiting for a woman to give birth ~ look at this panicked look.

When he heard the movement, he turned his head, and the ghost spider immediately showed an expression of 'come and help', but the next second, his eyes paused, and his whole body became more entangled.

Putting his hands up, Polusalino nodded, turned his feet and walked towards a certain bedroom with an open door. He was going to put the thousand-year-old who had been hugged all the way first, and then find an accompanying military doctor to come over. Take the time to ask about the ghost spider.

"Hey!" The ghost spider came back to his senses, and stopped Polusalino first, "Look..."

Looking intently in the indicated direction, then slightly startled, Polusalino frowned, turned his feet, and walked over with Qiantui Baisui in his arms.

There are several long sofas in the public hall, and the reason why the ghost spider is very concerned is that the ball on the cushion of one of the sofas, the ball of hair that can't be found after thousands of years of disappearance squats quietly, with round eyes stare straight at...

Standing in front of the sofa, Polusalino looked at Hua Buliu's strange posture squatting in a hen, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "Qiaoqiu, do you want to pounce?"

Seeing Qiantui Baisui, Qiuqiu was just as eager to try as before. The strange thing is that it moved and then nested again. Its furry front paws lightly stepped on the mat a few times, looking a little uneasy.

"Qiaoqiu, get up~" Ghost Spider stood not too far away, coaxing in a hoarse voice, "You'll suffocate the little things~"

"Little thing?" Polusalino raised his eyebrows, "What little thing?"

"It's hidden under Qiuqiu's belly~ It's sure to be stuffy, it listens to you, let it get up quickly." The ghost spider couldn't help but glance at Qiuqiu, as if it wanted to go there, "It has been squatting Come on, I'll explode if I get close."

……

The key is what is hidden under Qiuqiu's belly?

Hearing what the ghost spider said, Polusalino was even more confused. After thinking about it, he looked at the ball's posture carefully, and the corners of his eyes twitched imperceptibly.

Indeed... He didn't pay attention to it just now, but looking at it now... Qiuqiu looks like a hen squatting half-squatting, and there seems to be something under the belly.

Just about to get closer, Fang Dong found that Qiuqiu had quietly entered a state of alert. After all these years of getting along, it was the first time that Qiuqiu showed such hostility.

In addition to the harmony brought to Qiuqiu by the emotional changes of thousands of years old... Wait!Looking down at the unconscious person in his arms, Polusalino suddenly realized that it was because of her.

After figuring it out, he turned around and put the person on the sofa opposite to Qiuqiu, then turned around, "Come here, Qiuqiu, she's here."

Mao Tuanzi stared at Qiantui Baisui for a while, then turned his round head to look at the ghost spider a few meters away, as if unable to resist the temptation of his master, Qiuqiu finally stood up, lowered his head and took out something from under his stomach, Huahua Buliu shook his body and disappeared suddenly.

When it reappeared, Qiuqiu was already beside Qiansui Baisui, she rubbed her head first, and then gently placed it in her mouth on her chest and heart.

After putting away the hidden thing, Qiuqiu squatted down obediently, making a purring sound, while licking its owner's cheek desperately, as if trying to wake her up by this action.

And let the ball be placed in the heart of a thousand years old is...

A small tender yellow ball, round and not too big, not much bigger than an egg.

Polusalino quietly watched this scene, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He thought that he understood what was going on with the anxious and melancholy expression on Ghost Spider's face, so he turned his head slightly, and teased with a half-smile, "You won't do it again?" Are you going to name it and raise it?"

This is probably the case. After all these years of friendship, how could Polusalino not know about the hobby of ghost spiders?It must be poked by the tender yellow hairball at the first sight.

The ghost spider was silent for a while, and sighed desolately, "Do you know who that ball is? Even if you like me..." Saying so, his eyes were stuck to the hair ball and he couldn't pull it out.

Who is Tuanzi?Browbone twitched slightly, and Polusalino withdrew his gaze from the ghost spider, and his eyes fell on the unfamiliar little yellow dumpling. After a long time, he asked softly, "Rosinindi?"

The tender yellow fur balls are as round as a ball, but if you look carefully, you can still see the tips of the small wings, the slender claws and the tender beak retracted in the hair.

Don Quixote.Rossindi?

Eyes widened in surprise, Polusalino was a little speechless for a moment, but he forgot that if he was reincarnated, according to another form of a thousand-year-old, curly-haired imp, Rosinindi might indeed be a bird.

So... Could it be hatched?Hugging?

Uncontrollably, he imagined the ball of jet-black hair among the thousand-year-old and hundred-year-old faces... The corner of his mouth twitched a few times, and Polusalino silently raised his hands to cover his face.

The briquettes that the ghost spider has been looking for for a long time, and the appearance of the black balls squatting in the nest hatching eggs... very... very cute!what to do?

My own interests are developing in the direction of terror, how can I avoid developing into a perversion?The silently blushing admiral, Kizaru Polusalino, said that he was very depressed at the moment.

……

Polusalino was full of melancholy, and the ghost spider was also very entangled. After a short silence, he carefully moved closer and looked at the one person and two hairballs on the sofa, and said, "It didn't take long before it fell into the sea. Just around here, I came back with the kid and Qiuqiu, and I wanted to call the doctor, but it will only take a few minutes to go downstairs."

"When I came back, I found out that the curly-haired kid had become like this."

"Qiaoqiu held it tightly in its mouth and refused to let me touch it. Later, when I got far away, it hid the little ghost under its stomach... Do I look so scary? It's so strange~"

Glancing at the ghost spider and seeing his dejected look, Polusalino replied amusedly, "Who told you to harass Qiuqiu all these years when you have nothing to do? Maybe in its cognition, you are blaming the uncle." ?”

"Hey!" The ghost spider raised his eyebrows and clicked his tongue, but he didn't refute, as if he thought about it and then closed his eyes, "I saw something strange when it fell into the sea. The ball broke free and sank into the sea. I went to the rescue, dived deeper than the others, and that's when I saw..."

"There is a strange area on the bottom of the sea, a very large translucent circular arc barrier, covering the entire bottom of the sea, and behind the barrier is an active magma lake."

Polusalino paused slightly, then turned his head, "Lake of magma? You mean?"

"Ah~ I was expelled before I could see it clearly. I think it should be the volcano on the Fragment Island." Speaking of this, the ghost spider's expression became serious. "The volcano on the Fragment Island is active. If it is not blocked by the barrier, Has the magma erupted long ago?"

"The volcano in the center of Shard Island ceased activity hundreds of years ago. If it erupts..." Polusalino's expression became heavy, "Wait! What if..."

After thinking about it, Polusalino frowned unconsciously, turning his gaze to Chitose, "If it's the barrier that prevents the volcano from erupting, wouldn't it be Li Town?"

If what the ghost spider said is true, the volcano in the center of Shard Island is actually active. The reason why it hasn't erupted for so many years is the transparent barrier. Speaking of it, only Li Town is the power of the aliens to stop the island. Perish?

"One more thing, Polusalino." The ghost spider spoke again after a long silence, and the tone of the re-speak was lower than before, and even brought out some hesitation, "The thing we are looking for is also on the bottom of the sea. .”

"Embedded in the transparent barrier, I was sweating all over." After a pause, the ghost spider took a shallow breath, as if he was still a little scared, "You should know that if the barrier fails to block the magma, something will happen. What."

"The volcanic eruption brought them out of the sea, violent vibrations, friction and exposure to the air, and finally..." Squinting his eyes, Polusalino's tone seemed calm, but the content was extremely terrifying.

"The energy of the explosion is enough to blow up half a new world into the sky."

"Shard Island volcano is actually associated with dynamic rock, it is really a terrible thing."
