Chapter 45 Language Genius
Chapter 45 Language Genius
If anger can kill people, then the anger in Cracker's heart at this moment can almost kill everyone within a ten-mile radius of the Soap Bubble Park.
In addition to the resentment, Cracker also felt a little unwilling out of thin air. This unwillingness did not come for no reason, but there was a trace to follow.
Why?
At that time, she and I lived in the same house and were about to get married. Even the wedding dress and wedding ring were ready. At that time, I didn't even kiss Cheng Xi, so why could this wild boy who didn't know where he came from kiss?
Ha, this is really not a wild boy, but Ace, a super rookie who had just joined the Whitebeard Pirates and defeated a Seven Warlords of the Sea shortly after going to sea. He looked Ace up and down. He was a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old, a fledgling brat, full of fearlessness, and had a handsome face that was still good.
She had vowed to like her own face at the beginning, but now after a long time, she has started to like other people's faces again, right, and found such a young one?
What a bunch of nonsense, not a single word of truth.
Damn, I was too young at that time. If I had known this would happen, I should have pushed her into the room and done something that adults should do.
I wouldn't be so angry with her now.
Ace was originally in a state of floating in the clouds. He was eager for Cheng Xi to take further action, and even a little impatient, wanting to take the initiative.
But he was interrupted suddenly. He could feel that his body temperature dropped a lot, just like pouring a basin of cold water on the grilled steak, feeling lost and frustrated.
Cheng Xi was numb. This situation was so embarrassing. The memory of the time on Cake Island emerged in her mind. For
a moment, she didn't know whether she should be embarrassed for this unfinished kiss or for meeting this general who had issued countless wanted orders for her.
She didn't answer Cracker's question because she didn't know how to answer it.
Just think that the atmosphere tonight was too good, and she couldn't help herself, and her eyes were dazzled and her mind was dizzy.
She picked up the bouquet that had fallen to the ground. The fruit was covered with a layer of red film, so the flowers were not damaged. Only the edges of the petals were wilted and wrinkled due to the flames.
Cheng Xi looked at Cracker and asked speechlessly: "No, I said, do you really need to? Wanted posters have been issued one after another over the years. In the years when I was not dead, I updated my photos every year. People who don't know would think that I went to Cake Island to kill people, set fires and steal things."
Although she did secretly copy a copy of the historical text, she could guarantee that no one would know about it, so Cheng Xi was very confident when she said this.
With this look and tone, Cracker is now completely sure that this person is Cheng Xi.
Cracker said aggressively: "You betrayed your family, betrayed your mother, betrayed...our marriage."
He looked at Ace, his tone sharp and bad: "Do you know, this woman was once engaged to me, and she is my fiancée."
Cheng Xi interrupted him: "You also said that it was once..."
"But until now we haven't broken off the engagement."
Cheng Xi: "Are you done?"
Unfortunately, Ace didn't fall for Cracker's instigation at all. Instead, he stretched out his hand to protect Cheng Xi behind him: "I don't know who you are, and I don't know what your past is, but she has decided to start a new life, please don't disturb her anymore."
"If you want to fight, just go for it."
As he said that, he made an attacking gesture.
Cheng Xi followed closely behind, confidently saying, "What engagement? How come I don't know? Who is it with whom? Have you sent out invitations or reported it in the news? It's just a game, right?"
She was trapped on Cake Island, and she tried hard to trick Big Mom into postponing the public announcement of her marriage. After escaping, the Charlotte family was afraid of losing face, so they issued a wanted order for her without stating the reason. Apart from the members of the Big Mom Pirates and Cheng Xi, few people knew about this, not even the navy knew about it.
"You..." Cracker was speechless at her sophistry, but he could do nothing about it.
"Since we've met today, let's have a frank talk."
"It's been twenty years, and I haven't done anything bad. Big Mom should have calmed down, right? Why are you so persistent in arresting me? Apart from anything else, just printing wanted posters every year is a big expense. I really don't want to be a marine now. We don't have opposing positions. From now on, we'll go our separate ways. You can be a pirate, and I'll run my drink shop. We won't bother each other, and no one will kill anyone. Isn't that good?"
Cracker said sarcastically, "With your strength, you can come to Cake Island whenever you want, and leave whenever you want. Who can kill you..."
He realized that he had said the wrong thing halfway through his words. He remembered the scene in the video of the Den Den Mushi that day, her blood-stained appearance in the snow and ice, and the hidden weapon that successfully attacked her.
He wasn't sure if Cheng Xi was seriously injured and had been recovering from her injuries all these years, or if she had used some magical method to come back to life. In short, the pain caused by the anesthetic needle was real.
Finally, he apologized: "I'm sorry, Cheng Xi." He
asked carefully: "You must have been in pain at that time, right?"
He was afraid of pain even when getting an injection, and at that time, she had so much blood on her body and so many bloody wounds. How painful must she have been.
"It's okay, I'm used to it." Cheng Xi handed the bouquet in his hand to Ace, and gathered a thunder and lightning in the palm of his hand, rumbling and shining, and gradually expanding. "I guessed that your strength would increase a lot in the past twenty years, but I don't eat dry meals every day."
"I'm also very strong."
"No, you misunderstood, I'm not here to kill you, now many people on this island are looking for you, you come with me, we will go back to Cookie Town, there, even the admiral of the navy or the seven warlords can't find you, we can start a new life." "
Then what? How long can you hide it from Homies of Big Mom?"
Cracker hesitated. He is absolutely loyal to his family and his mother. If there really comes a day when his mother wants to kill Cheng Xi, what should he do? He couldn't disobey his mother, nor could he let Cheng Xi die again. This was really... a dilemma.
Cheng Xi: "I already have a new life. It's you who lives in the past."
She said goodbye to him: "We are leaving. Goodbye. I wish you peace and happiness in the future."
Although the word "peace and happiness" sounds tacky, it is still a good blessing.
Cracker was stunned on the spot, the balance in his mind was always swinging between his mother and Cheng Xi. With his mother around, he would never be able to bring Cheng Xi back to Totland. In addition, all the brothers and sisters...
When he reacted, Cheng Xi and Ace had already walked a distance.
"Wait a minute, Cheng Xi."
She called her, her tone trembling; "Can we still be friends?"
"Of course."
This is also good. Nothing in the world is perfect. This is the most appropriate decision he has made between his mother and Cheng Xi. At least he is sure that she is still alive, and at least they will not be in a relative position when they meet in the future.
A dark and gloomy moonless night brought his twenty years of obsession to an unsatisfactory end.
Wait, no, Cracker, who had been feeling sad for a while, suddenly realized that after going around in circles for so long, she still hadn't answered her original question.
Cheng Xi, you are so damn cunning. Your ability to change the subject is even better than that of the family's clerk, Mondor.
And, how can this young and ignorant brat compare to me except for his youth! ?
...
After Cheng Xi and Ace left, they chose to remain silent. They walked aimlessly in the no-man's land for a while, and looked at each other with a tacit understanding.
"That, just now..."
"Actually..."
They said in unison: "You go first!"
Cheng Xi used his strengths in changing the subject and asked: "Where are you going next? Are you going back to the Whitebeard Pirates?"
Ace: "There are no new tasks on the ship for the time being, so there is no need to rush back..."
"Then come to my store to play for two days. By the way, let me introduce you to my companions. They are also very good and interesting."
"Okay, actually I am also very curious about Cheng Xi's companions."
Cheng Xi invited quickly, and Ace agreed quickly.
The moonlight was so dim, but he still didn't dare to look at her face or meet her eyes.
Because Ace's flameboat and Cheng Xi's boat were parked in different ports, they separated temporarily and prepared to sail to Furens Island on two different routes and then meet at the port.
Cheng Xi handed the bouquet to Ace and asked him to help take care of it. He carried the scorpion and lizard and walked alone to Port 16.
"咈咈咈咈..." A unique and unruly laugh came, and Cheng Xi sighed, feeling helpless. Who is this!
Looking in the direction of the voice, a tall man, at least three meters tall, walked towards her with a strange walking posture.
The closer this man was to her, the more carefully Cheng Xi saw him.
Blond hair, clearly wearing a very conspicuous light pink feather cloak, but he also wore a flashy dark pink floral shirt, unbuttoned, cropped pants, showing his ankles, which echoed the low-top pointed moccasins on his feet, plus the ridiculous way he walked with his legs apart and didn't care about his relatives.
What kind of messed up spirited young man's mixed style is this! ?
A bit like Xiao Ming! ?
Not sure, let's take a look.
Judging from the glasses on his nose, it seems to be Xiao Ming.
Oh, no, according to his age, he should be called Brother Ming now.
The person on the other end of the phone from the restaurant owner who ordered a search for him on the entire island, called Tian Yasha-sama, should be him.
It's annoying. After working for so many years, I haven't saved much money, but I have accumulated a lot of wanted orders.
Doflamingo stood in front of her. Because of his height, Cheng Xi jumped to the fourth step to confront him in order not to lose momentum.
"Hey, hey, hey, isn't this the famous naval genius, Vice Admiral Cheng Xi? I didn't expect that you and I would meet first. Is this destined to be fate?"
"What bullshit destiny? I think you haven't been beaten enough."
When the Don Quixote family first rose, he and Senior Crane had chased their ships several times. At that time, Doflamingo was not as idle as he is now, playing the drama of destiny.
"The beauty's temper is still as irritable as ever."
Cheng Xi is a beauty, but a thorny, dangerous, and difficult to mess with beauty. As soon as he saw her for the first time, Doflamingo had already figured out what to do next.
He runs a huge dark empire and is the most powerful of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Naturally, he likes to conquer challenging thorny roses. Most importantly, he wants to conquer the relationships behind the beauty.
Maybe he has been smooth sailing for too long in recent years, or maybe Cheng Xi's face looks innocent and easy to deceive. Doflamingo believes that to control a woman is to control her emotionally.
In the O'Hara incident, he knew Cheng Xi's disappointment with the navy, and he even knew about submitting a letter of resignation. This was the most vulnerable and softest line of defense in Cheng Xi's heart. He only needed to grasp this point tightly, and then provide psychological guidance and emotional care, and then everything would be fine.
Doflamingo was determined to win.
Five fingers flew out a thin line, wrapped around Cheng Xi's body, and pulled her to a very close distance from him, trying to seduce her.
"I know you are heartbroken by the navy, and your justice is not upheld. You are so beautiful and so powerful, why not join the Don Quixote family, where you can do whatever you want."
"My family and I will work hard to warm your broken heart."
"..."
Doflamingo said a lot of things very much, thinking that he could completely move her heart, but he didn't expect Cheng Xi to shatter his line with his domineering power.
This surprised him a little.
She said disdainfully: "If you want to win me over, just say it nicely, don't do this."
He has always been a pie in the sky for others, and never eats the pie in the sky for others.
Doflamingo tried to invite Cheng Xi: "My beautiful and charming sweet heart, will you be my lover?"
She originally wanted Cheng Xi to be her princess, but the words slipped out of her mouth, so she immediately made up for it: "No, you will be my most beloved and precious princess."
Cheng Xi rejected his invitation.
And made another feasible suggestion.
"I think I am more suitable to be the queen mother of your country."
Although it is unknown where he stole or robbed the country from.
Doflamingo was silent...
Why is this woman so stubborn and unyielding! ?
He was still thinking about his words, and the navy team had already found here, Will, Yusula, Garp, and Hancock who met by chance on the roadside.
After seeing her, they were all very happy, except Cheng Xi, whose eyes went dark, and he recalled the sentence in his mind:
There are so many people...
Will said in surprise: "Is it really you? Sister, you are resurrected, that's great!"
Doflamingo saw that the situation was not good and was ready to leave quietly, but he didn't expect Will, the honest child, to ask again: "Sister, you also know Tian Yasha, what were you talking about just now?"
Cheng Xi told the truth: "Oh, nothing."
"He asked me to be his lover." As
soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
Yusura drew his sword.
Garp began to stretch the muscles in his hands, preparing to use a punch that could flatten at least ten hilltops.
They were still warming up, and some people couldn't wait to take action.
It was a figure that was faster than the wind, with tremendous anger, and very dangerous.
"Big fragrant kick!"
