Chapter 225: The Grand Line Ends...
The BIG MOM Pirates led by Katakuri, as well as Doflamingo, were all stopped behind Shanks.
The player grabbed Luo's shoulders, and the flames of death formed translucent wings from behind, lightly carrying the weight of the two people and flying to the end of the sea.
Doflamingo's gaze on the player's back was so hot that it seemed to penetrate his sunglasses and burn two holes in the player's body. His fingers were exaggeratedly bent and clenched into fists.
Of course...
He pressed his hands tightly against his face, but even so, he couldn't hide the murderous laughter.
He never mentioned Dressrosa's dark secrets to the navy, and of course he would also 'betray' him without a word.
...Without any hesitation, he chose to stand on the side of that brat Luo.
To her, it probably doesn't matter.
This feeling of being out of control...it's been a long time since I last felt that way.
The last time he was so angry was when Rossinanti escaped from his hands.
There were damn butterflies both times, or rather... it was the work of the same person.
Doflamingo laughed arrogantly, veins throbbing on his forehead. The butterfly hairpin was easily deformed by his grip, and it made a crisp sound of breaking between his fingers, like the last cry of a prey caught in a trap before being strangled.
-
The pair of wings made of the flame of death flapped violently, and the endless sea surface quickly passed by and retreated before the eyes. The moist and salty sea breeze blew across the face, bringing with it a breath of freedom.
Luo was almost infected by this perspective that seemed to conquer the sky - just a little bit.
"Luo."
The player who had taken the weakened Luo away from the scene via the air line half-closed his eyes, feeling the tingling breeze on his face, and spoke slowly.
"How can you be sure that Katakuri will choose Brulee?"
If Katakuri had made another choice, Charlotte Linlin would not have suffered from bulimia and would have faced the wrath of the Minister of Flour.
"What confirmation?" Luo asked back.
Player: "Uh..."
"...Judging from your reaction, this answer shouldn't be funny." Luo.
The player consoled him, "Hey... at least he's aware of his own sense of humor."
"I'm not lost, and your way of comforting people is very low-class."
Luo paused for a moment, mainly to prevent the sea breeze from blowing directly into his mouth, and then he returned to the previous topic: "He will definitely choose that."
"The Flour Minister was injured before because he faced a similar situation." Luo did not continue.
When this answer sheet is placed in front of Katakuri again, he will definitely make the same choice.
"Hmm..." The player made a vague sound, as if he understood but not quite.
Luo: "No brother would watch his younger siblings in danger and remain indifferent."
"...Except for Doflamingo," he added inexplicably, his tone a little cold, "He is the danger itself."
It's clear that she has a lot of complaints about Doflamingo...
"Will Brulee be safe now that her heart is back?" the player asked.
Law hummed calmly and replied, "With the power of the Operation Fruit, even if the target's heart is swapped with someone else's, there will be no effect."
"As expected of a surgeon!" the player exclaimed.
Luo emphasized: "It is the surgeon of death."
One thing is certain.
The player thought very seriously.
Luo will definitely not have to worry about the tense doctor-patient relationship.
"Luo," the player called him after a while, "Are you tired?"
Luo asked directly: "What do you want to say?"
"I'm tired." The player answered dryly, mainly because he felt bored after flying for a long time.
Luo: "Don't be tired."
What are you talking about!
"...The fish in the sea look very hungry, so pitiful." The player lowered his head, looked at the school of fish below the sea surface, and said softly.
Luo, unfazed by the threatening tone in the player's words, rationally analyzed, "It's true that Red Hair has temporarily stopped them, but we can't completely rule out the possibility that they're still pursuing us."
Luo maintained the awkward posture of being carried and looked behind him. On the blue sea, the outline of Cake Island was so small that it was almost invisible.
——Also moving away was his Polar Submersible, which was parked under the sea near the shore.
The crisis was basically resolved, and the tension in his heart relaxed slightly: "Then rest for a while..."
"Why don't I hold Luo instead? Come on, put your legs on my arms."
Before he could finish his words, he heard the player's excited suggestion.
Luo refused with a dark face: "I absolutely do not want to be carried like a princess!"
"At such a critical moment, you still care about these trivial details! Luo, I despise you." The player said contemptuously.
"Hide that eager look on your face."
Luo looked at the rapidly receding sea beneath his toes and spoke weakly, "Where are you taking me? If we're flying aimlessly, then now's the time to notify the fish below to prepare for a feast."
"You're surprisingly talented at dry humor!"
Luo: “…”
"Don't worry, I'm prepared!"
The player proudly showed it to him: "Clang, clang! Life card!"
It seems that the player is flying around like a headless fly, but in fact he is following the guidance of the life card given to him by Borsalino.
The reaction of the life card is getting stronger and stronger.
A tall figure was vaguely seen in front.
The height matches the Borsalino players remember.
but……
Did a person appear at sea?
A trace of doubt passed through my mind.
"As long as we follow the life card, we can find Admiral Kizaru... Uh, who are you?"
The player braked suddenly, and Luo swung back and forth unexpectedly like a piece of clothing hanging on a clothesline and being torn by the strong wind.
Luo: “…”
He raised his hand to adjust the brim of his hat that was obscuring his vision and recognized the person in front of him: "Admiral of the Navy, Kuzan."
Hmm, it turns out to be Kuzan. Players thought it was... Kuzan?
The player blinked, confirming that he had no impression of the person in front of him.
"Ah, I was recognized." He spoke lazily and scratched his naturally curly black hair. The player noticed that the other party was actually standing alone on a thick piece of ice, floating on the sea.
Well... the more skilled you are, the bolder you are!
"My life card?" Kuzan held the piece of paper that floated towards him, recalling with distress, "How did it end up in your hands? Hmm... Maybe one of my colleagues took it away because I wasn't paying attention."
He soon stopped dwelling on the matter.
The man, who looked nothing like a naval admiral, raised his eyelids and glanced listlessly at the player's face before falling on the disheveled Luo.
"Hmm? Vice Admiral Rossinandi's informant in the pirates..." he said suddenly.
Luo said weakly: "Who is your informant..."
"Leave him to me." Kuzan stretched out his hands, as if to transfer the person from the player's hands to his own.
"I refuse." Luo refused decisively.
It's okay to be carried around like that by players in special circumstances.
Now that the crisis is over, he would rather die than agree to be taken away in the posture of a child.
"Alright," Kuzan agreed nonchalantly, shoving one hand in his pocket. He watched Luo stagger to his feet and motioned for him to wait. The lazy general couldn't help but sigh, "Youth..."
Luo ignored the outside world's interference, his dark eyes focused on her, and said goodbye to the player: "I will probably find a safe place to recuperate for a long time."
"Hmm... Hmm?" The player, who hadn't waited for the other party's next words for a long time, couldn't help but tilt his head to look at him.
He looked at the player deeply. "In case something like last time happens again, you need to give me a way to contact you."
Last time?
How come the player doesn't remember that she has lost contact?
Luo's needs can be solved with a Den Den Mushi.
Players have more interesting suggestions.
"Law can use the power of the fruit to swap our hearts. Just pinch the heart and you can feel it immediately no matter how far apart we are."
Luo looked speechless, but held back and said nothing.
The player squinted his eyes and smiled at the helplessness on his face.
I finally relaxed completely.
Luo's next words fell in a gentle and calm atmosphere.
"It's already with you."
A light, relaxed arc appeared on his lips, and the gloomy feeling given by the dark circles under his eyes was diluted by this faint smile.
"my heart."
If you don't want to give it, then don't give it. What else is there to say?
"This is my life card. You can use it to find me."
Luo handed the life card to the player. The deep emotions in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a sense of relief from the heart. He looked at the player with a calm gaze.
"...Let's meet again on the sea."
After he finished speaking, he caught up with Kuzan, and the two of them walked away on the ice towards the distance.
The player stared at Luo's receding figure.
Map exploration progress:
Totland: 13.66%
Dressrosa: 44.90% [Hidden Story Opened (1/3)]
Unnamed Island: 80%
"
Among the rest of the map waiting to be explored, which are currently covered by a blurry fog, the route the player has passed leaves behind a faint light. From the initial island to Dressrosa and Totland, the unrelated sea areas are connected and illuminated by a spider-like thin light.
The tiny light accounts for less than 1% and is so weak that it has no presence at all.
The sky and the sea merged into a vast expanse of blue, and Luo's departing figure was so small that it could no longer be seen.
Ahead is the navy that is gradually moving away and may catch up at any time.
Behind them is the pirate group that has invited them to adventure.
Standing on the dividing line, looking at the boundless, sparkling calm sea in front of you, an unknown impulse is beating in your chest, like countless butterflies flapping their wings together, making the player's heart unconsciously infected by an inexplicable sense of heroism.
"OK!"
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Well, isn’t it a bit late to say this? I have always imagined that the player’s habit of speaking is actually Ichimatsu Kohina’s “de”. But Naruto is also very cute.
The Pirates chapter should have been before the Hunter chapter, but as I was writing it I realized it was a good fit for the ending so I moved it back a bit.
Next is the popular ending, which will be mentioned in the title. Just pick the one you like and eat it.
