Chapter 51 Encounter on a Solitary Island
Chapter 51 Encounter on a Deserted Island
The boy in front of him was wearing a long coat in the style of Flack, a dark blue shirt with a jabot ruffle decoration on the front, a water pipe on his back, and a blue top hat.
He had wavy golden curly hair, round eyes, and a scar on his right eye. He looked young, and exuded a youthful and vigorous temperament.
"Hey! Do you know my name!?"
As soon as he entered the door, he was called by his name before he even walked to the counter. Sabo was a little surprised.
"Well, your name is Sabo, and the bounty is 620 million. You are an important cadre of the Revolutionary Army. What is your purpose in coming here? Are you looking for intelligence or want to get something from the store? If you want to find out information, you can ask me directly. After all, I am a very easy-to-talk person."
Cheng Xi got straight to the point and asked Sabo what his purpose was in coming here.
"There's no need to secretly place wiretap telephone bugs, that's very troublesome."
Because of Ace, she also paid attention to Sabo's news, but the Revolutionary Army was too quick and mysterious, their whereabouts were mysterious and erratic, and often an uprising broke out in one place. When the newspapers published news reports about them, the uprising had already ended and the cadres of the Revolutionary Army had disappeared. Therefore, in the past two years, she knew very little about the Revolutionary Army, let alone this important cadre Sabo.
As a result, he actually came to the store today.
In the past two years, in addition to some pirates with low IQs, who were direct and rude, and openly said "I'm here to do bad things", there were also various forces that attempted to sneak in secretly and investigate privately. They thought they were disguised perfectly, but the actual result was to add a few jokes to Cheng Xi's already rich and interesting store life.
The leader of the Revolutionary Army is Dragon, the son of Uncle Garp, who has defeated many evil hegemonies. The boy in front of him may be Ace's younger brother. Therefore, Cheng Xi has no ill will towards the Revolutionary Army. On the contrary, she has some good feelings for him.
But she has no connection with the Revolutionary Army, so how could she suddenly...
She quickly thought of a lot of possibilities in her head, but ignored the most basic and simple reason.
Cheng Xi looked calm and spoke indifferently, which made Sabo at a loss. He waved his hand quickly: "Ah, no, no, no, I'm not here to gather intelligence."
Sabo had read the newspaper that reported Cheng Xi's identity two years ago and knew that she was special. Now it seems that she is more cautious and far-sighted than what was written in the newspaper.
Cheng Xi: "So what do you want? A blood or hair sample? You're not going to steal my sword, are you?"
Thinking of the terrifying expression on Kerr's face when he was leaving and said that if he forgot to buy it, he shouldn't come back, Sabo felt a chill inexplicably. He gave Cheng Xi a smile that made people feel like spring breeze, and said politely: "Miss, I think you misunderstood. I just came here to buy some drinks."
This smile was so contagious, and it was almost the same as the boy who was as dazzling as the sun in Cheng Xi's memory. Before she could react from this sunny smile, she saw the boy in front of her take out a folded paper from his coat pocket, unfolded it, and read according to the handwriting on it:
"Ten apple hawthorn tangerine peel tea bags, twenty Daidaihua Shugan tea bags for clearing heat and removing acne, and this red date and longan tea bag for whitening and moisturizing. Kerla wrote that if it is useful, buy fifty bags, and if it is not useful, buy two bags, so... buy twenty-five bags, and another thirty bags..."
Cheng Xi: ...
It turns out that he really has no purpose, just wants to be a customer.
And a big customer.
When Sabo finished reading the whole list, nearly five minutes had passed. Shunping behind him was so busy that his hands were about to spark, and he wished he could turn into a big spider with eight hands.
When all these were packed and handed to Sabo, he thanked him politely and paid.
"Thank you."
Sabo was about to turn around and leave with these big and small bags, and Cheng Xi suddenly asked him a question.
"Do you know Ace?"
Ace?
Sabo stopped and stood there in a daze.
Ace, Ace, this name clearly has no impression in my memory, but why does it sound so familiar, as if... as if I have said it countless times before.
"Ace, Ace..." Sabo muttered to himself.
Cheng Xi put Ace's bounty in front of Sabo, stared into his eyes, and confirmed again: "It's this black-haired boy, his name is Ace, he is a pirate, do you know him?"
Seeing the familiar face enlarged in proportion on the bounty, countless childhood memories came to him like a tide.
Childhood memories on Mount Gordo, Dadan who always said one thing and meant another, old man Garp's terrifying iron fist training, Luffy who always got into trouble and tried to become stronger, Ace who pursued freedom and longed to go out to sea freely...
The last memory was that the fishing boat used for going out to sea was sunk by the Celestial Dragons, and he was also hit into the sea.
The big and small bags of things fell from Sabo's hands, he hugged his head tightly with his hands, shouted, and his reaction was very strong.
With so much information pouring in, Sabo's brain was spinning violently and twitching. The deeper he touched these memories, the more painful his head became. But he did not retreat, but faced this intense pain head-on. As a result, the memories that had been hidden and sealed away gradually became clearer.
His head was splitting, the world was spinning, and then he fainted.
When he woke up again, his head still had a slight pain, but he was more awake than ever before. He cleared the fog and saw the past.
Looking at the snow-white ceiling above his head, Sabo sat up from the sofa, looked around at the environment, and tried to find his hat. A girl with a night-time curling hairstyle not far away was attracted by the movement here, and shouted to the door: "Cheng Xi, Cheng Xi, he's awake."
Then she put down the medical equipment in her hand, walked to Sabo, and explained to him: "You have experienced major physical trauma or severe mental shock before, and your body's self-protection system has activated, resulting in temporary amnesia. Because you saw Ace's bounty order just now, your brain was greatly stimulated, and your memory recovered, and you fainted." "
There is basically no major problem with your body. In the future, pay attention to rest on time and have a balanced diet. There will be no sequelae."
"Ah? Thank you, thank you." Sabo bent down to thank Shinobu Kocho. On the surface, he looked impeccably polite, but in fact, all he could think about at this moment was Ace and Luffy.
Seeing Cheng Xi enter the room, Sabo couldn't wait to say to her: "Miss Cheng Xi, do you know where Ace is now?"
"He is my brother. We also have a younger brother named Luffy. We have made an agreement to go to sea together since we were young. Later, I went to sea early because of some accidents..."
He told Cheng Xi about the attack he encountered when he was at sea, and then asked her some news about Ace, and she answered them one by one.
"I am Ace's friend. I accidentally saw your bounty with him two years ago, so I paid special attention to you."
Sabo: "It seems that Ace has really made some good friends."
According to the previous agreement, Luffy will soon go to sea.
Thinking of this, Sabo raised the corners of his mouth and showed a bright smile. His eyes were brighter than the Milky Way in the night sky, which contained the unconcealable and unbridled preference for brothers.
Cheng Xi tore off a piece of white paper, wrote a string of numbers on it and handed it to Sabo: "This is Ace's Den Den Mushi number, but according to his careless personality, he either forgot to bring it or was sleeping and didn't hear the sound. He is lucky to get through once in ten times, so you have to be prepared to make a long call."
"I know, thank you, Miss Cheng Xi."
"Just call me Cheng Xi."
The two brothers are gentle and polite boys. Cheng Xi is not only curious about their youngest brother. Is
the boy named Luffy, who has been mentioned countless times by Ace, as gentle and polite as them?
It was getting late, Cheng Xi sent Sabo to the door of the store, and only closed the door after seeing him leave, ready to end the day's work.
But she didn't expect that when she turned around, she saw several pairs of bright eyes staring at her intently.
She felt a little guilty.
Although she didn't know why she felt guilty, she would unconsciously feel guilty when they looked at her with such eyes!
"Cheng Xi." Rosinante asked first, "Can I ask you a question?"
"What question?"
"Why is there a bounty order for the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates in our counter locker?"
Cheng Xi: "..."
She was speechless.
Not knowing how to answer, she just made up an answer.
"The store was busy a few days ago, so I just stuffed it in."
It was not justified.
No one believed her reason.
...
Green Plant is a plant island located in the New World. The trees here are tall, the rain is abundant, and the scenery is magnificent. Looking around, there are endless green plants winding and overlapping. Because the climate here is humid and hot, and the fog is pervasive, there are many snakes, insects, rats, ants, centipedes, and geckos growing in the dense forest, which are either highly poisonous or unknown.
If someone who is not familiar with the environment here drifts here, there are probably only two endings, either getting lost in the foggy forest, or being bitten to death by the insect poisons that can be seen everywhere here.
In short, it is very dangerous.
Cheng Xi took a small shovel and a glass box and dug here for nearly a day and a night before he dug up two pit vipers that satisfied him.
After carefully placing them in the glass box and closing the lid tightly to make sure they would not crawl out and bite people, Cheng Xi stood up and carried them to the shore.
After walking for a while, when they were still quite far from the coast, they heard noisy and chaotic noises coming from the shore.
Cheng Xi frowned and complained in her heart that these pirate groups were really good at exploring, and they could even find such a little-known island.
She was getting closer and closer to the shore, and the sounds she heard were getting louder and louder. When she came out of the dense forest, without the obstruction of grass and branches, her vision became suddenly clear.
Turning her eyes to the place where the fight was taking place, her sight was precisely locked on the back of the most conspicuous boy in the crowd. Cheng Xi's originally calm eyes suddenly lit up, and a dazzling smile bloomed on her face. With this joy, she approached him.
Although her steps were fast, they were very light, wanting to sneak over to give him a surprise.
The blond, blue-eyed, handsome aristocratic boy was dressed in an elegant aristocratic outfit, holding a famous sword inlaid with precious gems. Seeing her like this, he was secretly happy, but he pretended to be troubled, picked up the rose in his hand and sniffed it lightly, his movements were gentle and elegant.
"It seems that you are already famous all over the world. Even this uninhabited plant island has fans of this young master. This is really troublesome."
Although he said he was troubled, his body movements were very honest. He was so happy that he emitted little stars all over his body and immersed himself in his own world: "Hey, little girl, since you chased me all the way to this deserted island, I can give you my autograph bounty order, but don't faint with joy."
His fans did not answer him.
Every time he published his bounty order, it would be snapped up by girls of all ages in less than a moment, and it was even more popular than many posters of popular stars. Now he was going to take the initiative to send her an autograph, why would she not react to him! ? She
must be too happy, so happy that she didn't react yet.
So Cavendish reiterated: "It's a bounty order with an autograph."
Popularity, fame, focus, all of these must be focused on him, hahahahaha.
Then he saw "his fans" brushing past him a little nervously, their eyes didn't stay on him for a second, but instead, their hearts and eyes were full of focus on the annoying Fire Fist next to him.
Cheng Xi blocked his breath and quietly walked to Ace's side.
He was negotiating with the pirate group opposite, and suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder from behind, so he turned his head and saw a bright and beautiful smile.
"Long time no see, Ace."
"Cheng Xi." The boy's heart seemed to be blooming with a flourishing flower, and even the air around him became light and airy.
Cheng Xi: "We are so in tune with each other. We didn't tell each other in advance, but we still met by chance on this remote island."
Ace: "I read it in a book. It says it's called a match made in heaven. Yes, that's the word."
Cheng Xi: ...
Does he know what this means?
She blushed for a moment.
If this word came from another man, she would definitely think it was a limit test during the period of ambiguity, but when it came from Ace, it might just be that he simply didn't understand the meaning at all, and had no other thoughts.
After all, his eyes were too pure and clear.
But now, compared to this word, what is more worth exploring is... Ace actually read a book! ?
This is really the most incredible thing in the world.
An abrupt voice came: "Cut, which illiterate author wrote this illiterate novel? This word is not used like this at all."
As the prince of the Kingdom of Brujoa, Cavendish received elite education from the nobility since he was a child, and he was still quite good at cultural courses. He was angry that Huo Quan had taken away his popularity, so he corrected it directly.
Cavendish pretended to be nonchalant and said, "A match made in heaven is a word that describes the relationship between lovers, right?"
After he said this, Ace's cheeks instantly turned red.
He hesitated and was at a loss.
He swore in his heart that he would never believe anything Deuce said again.
He didn't believe a single punctuation mark or a single modal particle!
