Chapter 223: What do you think of the Grand Line guests becoming wanted criminals?
"Just to be clear, I'm only showing you Katakuri's Wheat Island to let you see the world. If you wander off on your own, don't expect me to come looking for you."
The player follows Brulee and listens to her chattering about the characteristics of Wheat Island.
The little bird that had been quietly resting on my shoulder suddenly flapped its wings alertly.
Judging from the details observed during the short time players spent with it, it doesn't like to bark.
So it just stared in one direction with its black eyes.
Brulee walked ahead, not noticing the player's pause.
A figure flashed by quickly and disappeared into the shadow of an inconspicuous alley.
That black and white color scheme...
The player fell into deep thought.
What if it's a mushroom that can run?
The player was about to catch up with Brulee as if nothing had happened, but that person suddenly appeared. Luo, wearing a black and white spotted hat, gestured to the player and disappeared from the spot before Brulee noticed him.
Now there's no way to pretend I didn't see it.
"Bree."
Brulee, who was looking around curiously, was attracted by the player's voice and looked down at her.
The player raised their hand: "Uh, I'm suddenly a little hungry, so where is the changing room?"
Bree: “?”
She looked very confused, but still gave the player directions.
Following the direction pointed by Brulee, he turned into the other party's blind spot, where Luo was already waiting.
He glanced behind the player and frowned slightly: "Why are you in the Four Emperors' territory? It's very dangerous here now."
The players were in disbelief.
You're questioning me!
"Before that... Luo," the player paused, looking at Luo with a look that seemed to indicate he had strayed from the right path, "Can you please tell me why you are here too?"
Didn't the player warn him not to get close to Doflamingo?
It took Law a few seconds to react before he found the relevant memory: "That was a long time ago... Besides, my target this time is not Doflamingo."
The player stared at him, his eyes filled with doubt, "Do you have other enemies?"
"...This is a special case. Although famous pirates have been invited to Big Mom's birthday tea party in previous years, there have been recent reports that one of the Four Emperors will also be in attendance."
Luo's expression was solemn. "Two of the Four Emperors met privately. If we don't find out what they discussed, we don't know how much of a stir it will cause on the sea."
...Where are the waves?
What does this have to do with Law? Unless his stance is against the pirates.
The player asked uncertainly, "You... joined the Navy?"
"How is that possible?" Luo said, as if he couldn't understand why the players would have such an association.
The player said sadly: "If it's a pirate... I can just attend Big Mom's birthday tea party!"
This person is here purely to gather intelligence.
"Hmm? But, Luo, your face..." The player leaned in closer and stared at him carefully. The skin on Luo's face was no different from that of a normal person.
Luo hummed, "After you left, Mr. Corazon found the surgery fruit and let me eat it. It cured the lead disease in my body."
The player pondered, "So it's not my natural skin color."
"What are you disappointed about?"
Luo did not insist on following the player's thoughts, but just calmly explained to her the reason why he was here.
"This is just to repay Mr. Corazon's kindness to me. I am still a pirate at heart, and my wanted poster is still hanging with the navy."
It seems that he feels that this is not enough to convince the players, and he shows a little discomfort similar to saying his nickname in front of acquaintances, but more of a sense of relief at being able to clear his name.
"I formed my own pirate group, called - the Surgeons of Death."
You are the doctor!
"So, what was the result of your infiltration investigation?" asked the player.
"…As soon as I infiltrated Totland, I was discovered by Big Mom's second son, Katakuri. His Observation Haki can predict the future, so I have almost no chance of winning against him."
Luo rationally analyzed: "Although Katakuri seems to have been attacked by a special ability user and disappeared...but giving up further investigation is the safest option for me."
Luo suddenly looked at the player.
The player blinked, understanding: "Do you want my help?"
The bird with bright amaranth feathers that had been quietly sitting on the player's shoulder suddenly pecked the player.
"...Are you hungry?"
The player took out a donut in a nonchalant manner and handed it to its mouth.
It didn't eat.
It stared at the player for a while with its wise black eyes, then flapped its wings, which were only one-third the size of its round body, and flew away.
Luo stared at the bird with rare feather color, which looked very familiar to him, with suspicion, and did not look away until it was far away.
The player listened carefully to Luo's next arrangements for her.
What players need to do specifically is:
——Adapt to circumstances.
It’s okay to just admit that you can’t come up with a plan.
"No," Luo looked in the direction the player came from, "I've already thought of a plan, but it's still a little rough."
But he revealed nothing to the players.
The player mentally put a question mark at the end of the sentence "The other party has a plan."
Walking back along the way they came, the player saw many Nuomizi who looked like chess soldiers sticking something on the wall.
When I looked closer, I saw it was an acquaintance I had just met.
Luo, why is your headshot on top?
"It was Lord Perospero's order that outsiders sneaked into Wheat Island." Homies answered the player's question in a serious manner.
Good luck to you, Luo.
The player returned to the place where he had parted with Brulee, but did not see her around.
If the player disappears, they really won’t come to look for him!
I met an unexpected person.
The Minister of Candy was leaning on a cane, and on his shoulder sat a familiar little amaranth bird.
"Hey, it flew to you."
The player said regretfully: "I quite like it."
Perospero glanced at the bird on his shoulder with a hint of surprise. The brightly colored triangular rice ball remained motionless.
"Well... even though you've become a bird, you still have cute little suitors who like you, Katakuri." The Minister of Candy was talking to the bird on his shoulder in a joking manner.
Brulee, you said your brother is not a bird!
"So, my lovely little princess, can you tell us where your companion is now?" The Candy Minister asked calmly without any sense of oppression. His three-meter height alone made people feel heavy just standing there.
"You can't keep ignoring the elders' questions, little princess." Perospero quickly fixed the player's feet with syrup to prevent any escape.
The player tried to pull out his legs, but the sticky syrup quickly hardened, making a clanging sound when he tapped it with his hand.
Perospero said calmly: "Now, there is plenty of time for us to talk slowly."
Uh, what's going on with this feeling that something's seriously wrong...
Perospero stretched out his hand to grab the player, but someone was faster than him and hugged the player from behind.
Luo's voice came from my ear: "Don't resist, obey me."
Where did he come from?
Players remember that behind them there is a wall and a mirror——oh~
The only good news is probably...
At least... the players know where Brulee is.
A suction force dragged the player backwards. Perospero reacted quickly and wanted to fight back almost the moment Luo appeared.
Katakuri called out briefly, "Chiu."
What a deep "chirp"! — Players didn't forget to complain amidst the chaos.
Cold sweat broke out on Law's forehead under the pressure, but his expression was calm. In his free hand, he held a heart, which was also the reason why Katakuri reminded Perospero.
When Perospero saw the heart in Law's hand, he reacted at the same time as Katakuri spoke, and reversed the attack that was supposed to hit Law.
After just a moment of hesitation, Luo successfully dragged the player into the mirror world. Ripples appeared on the mirror surface and finally returned to their original state.
"Brulee is in his hand..." Perospero frowned as his hand touched the hard mirror.
Katakuri pecked his shoulder.
Perospero sighed, "Katakuri, it's okay for you to be attacked by a esper and turned into a bird, but why not a parrot or some other bird that can communicate? Even if I were your brother, I can't always guess what you're thinking."
"Chiu."
Perospero waved, and a group of Nuomizi soldiers appeared in front of him.
"Spread the word. Destroy all mirrors on the island immediately."
-
"Luo..."
In the mirror world, with Brulee tied up tightly with ropes in front of him, the player thought to himself, "Is this the escape plan you came up with?"
“…There was a slight error in my assessment of the situation.”
Players also began to doubt the credibility of Law's "infiltration": "Was it really because he was too perceptive that he was discovered by Katakuri?"
"Big Mom had a food craving attack not long ago. Could it be that you were trying to get out of this...?"
Luo heard this and thought about it.
"etc……"
The player hesitantly asked, "What's with that inspired look on your face?"
