Chapter 60 Mysterious Woman
Chapter 60 The mysterious woman
Cheng Xi also gave him an ugly smile: "Trafalgar, hello."
Although he became sunny, he still had to file the complaint. Cheng Xi looked at Rosinante and said to him: "Rossi, he just squinted at me."
Rosinante looked at his friend who looked indignant, and then looked at Luo who looked innocent and polite and took the initiative to greet him. At the age of about to turn 30, he learned the mysterious ability of parents in the far east without a teacher. Playing the game of
peace.
"Cheng Xi, don't be angry with the child."
Cheng Xi:...?
She whispered: "You are too doting on your child."
While reminiscing about the past, other places in the venue were already full of traces of fighting. The interior of the venue, which was originally decorated exquisitely and luxuriously, was turned into a chaotic ruin. There were even some places where the walls were blown up. The guards in the auction hall had not been dealt with yet, and the Straw Hat Pirates began to have trouble removing the collar from Camie's neck.
Cheng Xi was going to walk over and use his domineering power to take off the collar from her neck, but suddenly an old man in flip-flops and a white cape walked out of the destroyed wall.
The remaining guards in the auction hall recognized the old man as a slave waiting to be sold in the backstage, but what shocked them was that the collar that he had worn around his neck to represent his slave status was missing! And he didn't have any panic or fear as a slave. He was so leisurely and fearless that he was so bold as to say he wanted to rob his buyer!?
He looked around the auction hall and noticed the injured Xiao Ba and Cheng Xi, who was holding a sword and looking at him with a speechless expression.
Rayleigh stunned the guards on the field with his domineering look: "Oh, it's Xiaoba, and Xiao Chengxi, I haven't seen you for 20 years, you are still so young and beautiful."
Chengxi silently "tsk", after not seeing each other for 20 years, Rayleigh is still so... eye-catching, and then entered the familiar mutual praise session: "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Rayleigh, you are still as good as ever, and your strength is still as good as before."
Rayleigh: "I read the newspaper you published a few years ago, it really caused a lot of waves.
" Chengxi said expressionlessly: "I saw that you caused a lot of waves when you came out of the backstage just now."
Rayleigh teased Chengxi a few times like before, but she thought that compared to a few years ago, she had become mature and would not be amused by Rayleigh's words and lose her mind.
This made Rayleigh feel that she was not as cute as before, and out of the mentality of assisting the interns on his own ship, he asked directly: "I read the report in the newspaper, then Xiao Chengxi, are you and Shanks together?"
Chengxi widened his eyes: ...! ! ?
She was like a roe deer walking in the forest, but was suddenly hit on the head by a savage. It was so confusing.
When she realized what Rayleigh said, she quickly clarified: "Don't make up your mind. Shanks and I are not together!"
She said it so quickly that several exclamation marks appeared on her head.
"Oh, is that so." Rayleigh looked at her with a smile. Just when Cheng Xi thought the misunderstanding was resolved, he said shockingly: "Then when are you together?"
Cheng Xi rolled her eyes at her unhappily and complained: "You are quite against us."
There is no possibility of this. She knew Shanks when he was thirteen or fourteen years old. At that time, Shanks's mind was to rob treasures and hold banquets every day, and replace the juice in her glass with the same color of wine, and let Rayleigh and Roger take the blame for him. Unless the moon is out in broad daylight, how can such a brain open up in terms of love! ?
She was almost paranoid because of those messy newspapers. She could imagine the laughing expression on Shanks' face when he knew that she mistakenly thought he had a crush on her. She couldn't help but shudder.
It's all the fault of that rumor king Morgans! He spread rumors to the point that even Rayleigh believed them.
Cheng Xi was thinking like this, and suddenly a voice came from her ear. A cute rubber face stretched its neck and inserted itself between her and Rayleigh. Its round eyes were full of clear doubts: "Shanks? Uncle, do you know Shanks? Why do you say Cheng Xi and Shanks are together?"
Then he turned his head around and thought hard: "Cheng Xi, were you a member of Shanks' crew before?"
Cheng Xi: ... top understanding.
At this moment, the alarm of the collar around Camie's neck sounded, but Franky still couldn't find the key. At the critical moment, Rayleigh walked directly to the fish tank and took off Camie's collar with his domineering power amid the horrified shouts of Papagu and others.
Everyone was stunned. Who is this person and why is he so powerful! ?
Rayleigh looked at the straw hat on Luffy's head and couldn't help but think of the days when he sailed on the sea and thought of Roger.
He said to Luffy: "This straw hat is very suitable for a strong man like you."
Hearing his words, the person who reacted the most was Cheng Xi, because she suddenly remembered that Roger also had an identical straw hat back then, and later he gave it to Shanks after the pirate group disbanded. And now Rayleigh's reaction... Could it be that Luffy was wearing Roger's original straw hat! ?
The quality of this straw hat is really good.
Kidd, who had been silently observing the situation in the back row, finally revealed his identity, the right arm of the Pirate King, the Hades, Silvers Rayleigh.
"That was all in the past. Now I am just a coating craftsman who wants to live a stable life."
Everyone was still immersed in the shock of his identity, only Cheng Xi silently complained that his identity was better not to be exposed. The Pirate King's ship's deputy sold himself as a slave because he lost a gambling bet and even planned to rob the buyer. It was very embarrassing to hear that!
When she came to her senses from her complaints, she found that everyone's attention had shifted from Rayleigh to herself.
It is known that Rayleigh is the vice-captain of One Piece, Shanks is one of the Four Emperors, and Cheng Xi seems to be very familiar with both of them, so her true identity must be a low-key boss!
Cheng Xi sighed and regretted that she should wear flip-flops today. After all, the strong people in this world love flip-flops and long capes.
She said faintly: "My previous job was an ordinary navy... Vice Admiral."
Rayleigh added for her: "Not only that, little Cheng Xi is called Rocks Killer, the strongest navy star in the history of the Navy Headquarters."
Cheng Xi added again: "The branch counts as well."
Rocks Strangler? What a weird and bloody and violent nickname, so ugly, she complained in her heart.
Everyone's eyes changed immediately when they looked at her. Although the Straw Hat Pirates were so careless that no one except Robin knew who Rocks was, the nickname "Killer" sounded scary. What's more, she is the strongest rising star in the history of the navy. Although they don't know how strong she is, the last Rob Lucci, who was called the strongest agent, made them suffer a lot.
Especially the new timid four-member team of Usopp, Chopper, Shakey and Pekin. Usopp trembled, fearing that Cheng Xi would arrest him and put him in jail on a whim, while Shakey and Pekin also shouted "Captain" in a timid manner.
Anyway, the Heart Pirates have an unwritten rule that everyone knows, that is, if you encounter troubles that you can't solve, you should write it down first, and then go back to the ship to find the captain. After all, their captain is so steady and reliable.
Cheng Xi grabbed Chopper, who was hiding behind the armchair but carelessly exposed most of his body, and rubbed his fur. He said to everyone, "Don't be afraid, everyone. I resigned from the navy a long time ago. Now I'm just an ordinary beverage store manager. Everyone calls me Xiaocheng."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Aren't all you strong people so unruly? One Lao Lei, one Xiaocheng, calling each other so... approachable.
Robin also spoke up: "Don't be afraid, Cheng Xi saved my life back then. She's a very good person."
Cheng Xi: "Hey, are you Robin?"
Robin smiled and responded: "Yeah."
In fact, the Straw Hat Pirates were just shocked just now, because they all knew what kind of personality Cheng Xi had after their previous experience in Alabasta. During the time she was with the Straw Hat Pirates, the greatest killing intention she showed was when she saw Zoro pointing the wrong way near the sea of Narohara.
Although they wanted to reminisce about the past, the navy gradually gathered at the door and interrupted their conversation.
Kidd, Law, and Luffy, these three pirate captains who were considered vicious and powerful in the eyes of the world, seemed to have taken a drug that reduced their intelligence at this moment, especially Law. The three of them rushed to say that they wanted to kill the navy alone.
"You all run away, I can handle these by myself." "Don't order me, you unhappy guy." "Kid is the boss, why don't you run away first?" Such quarreling language emerged in an endless stream, and even Cheng Xi was a little suspicious whether the three of them were fighting for the captains or quarreling among elementary school students?
Unfortunately, the three of them argued fiercely. Unexpectedly, Cheng Xi only said a few words to the naval colonel who led the troops after he came out of the auction house. Then the naval officer only thought for a while and actually withdrew his troops! ?
A large number of navy officers withdrew, and Kidd asked irritably and curiously: "Hey, woman, what did you say to that annoying navy?"
After all, she was his good friend. Regarding his address to Cheng Xi, Rossinandi was a little dissatisfied and frowned. Just as he was about to say something, Luo keenly noticed his reaction. Although he hated the navy, but for the sake of her being Mr. Krason's friend, this terrible captain who had chopped people like cutting vegetables before actually said to Kidd: "Kid, you are really uncultured to call a girl like this."
Cheng Xi was stunned by his reaction. How did this kid suddenly become so polite? Could it be that he was possessed by someone?
Politeness is a bit scary.
Cheng Xi explained, "Luffy, the officer currently stationed on this island was my subordinate before. I know his level very well. You are also my friends. I don't want anyone to get hurt on either side, so I just talked to them for a few words and asked them to withdraw."
"But..." She also instructed everyone, "After fighting the Celestial Dragons, the Navy Headquarters will soon send an admiral. I will resist for you for a while. Take advantage of this gap and run away quickly."
Hearing this, the Straw Hat Pirates all thanked him gratefully.
But in fact, she was not going to let the Straw Hat Pirates leave the Sabaody Archipelago just like that. The New World was still too early for those of them who didn't even understand Haki. In addition to what Kuma had said to her before, she planned to take them all to various places suitable for their abilities to practice for a while.
Real treasures will not become dull because of the polishing of time, but will only become more brilliant.
I don't know who the headquarters will send. If it's Kuzan or Borsalino, the lazy king, it's okay, but if Sakaski is sent, he will arrest all the pirates on this island, including the worst generation of supernovas, and put them in Impel Prison without hesitation, and let them spend their whole lives in prison.
Cheng Xi was right. The moment Luffy punched Charlos Saint in the face, the security personnel in the auction house had already called the Navy headquarters to report the matter.
The person who answered the phone was Sengoku. When he heard that the main culprit in the attack on the Celestial Dragons was Garp's grandson, his anger was actually a little reasonable. Since Cheng Xi appeared at the auction two years ago, he thought that this rebellious child would cause a lot of trouble. As a result, he guessed wrong. Except for a period of sensation when Cheng Xi was just resurrected, he has been doing his job well and staying on a small island to run his own shop in the past two years, so Sengoku was a little relieved.
Now it seems that he let go too early. There is an endless supply of rebellious juniors. Often, just when one is educated, the next one will appear.
After the Celestial Dragons were attacked, the Navy Headquarters had to dispatch the Admiral-level combat force. This was a well-known fact. However, Kuzan hated the Celestial Dragons' ugly appearance of being high and mighty and trampling on life, and did not want to have any contact with them. Therefore, when he heard the call, his first reaction was to reduce his presence and let Marshal Sengoku find someone else.
But then Sengoku said loudly to the other end of the phone: "What!? Cheng Xi is here too, and it seems that he has a good relationship with the Straw Hats!?"
Sengoku felt that he seemed to need a bottle of quick-acting heart-saving pills.
After getting a general understanding of Shampoo's situation, Sengoku hung up the phone and swept his eyes over the navy officers present.
Kuzan volunteered, with a very positive attitude: "I'll go."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to go out, but was stopped by Sakaski: "You and Cheng Xi... have a good relationship. Who knows if you will protect the Straw Hat Boys because of her?"
Kuzan raised his eyebrows: "So, what do you mean?"
"Let me go, I will not favor any pirates. Even if she does something too much later, I will bring her back intact."
Kuzan: "But the person Xixi hates the most is you."
A female voice interrupted their conversation. It was Yusura: "I heard that there are many pirates in Shampoo today. I am afraid that there is only one admiral to catch people, and the energy is not enough, so no matter who wins the argument, you have to take me with you."
Just like the sunny boy Luo who learned that Rosinante was not dead, Yusura who learned that Cheng Xi was still alive also changed from a grumpy and resentful Yin-Yang master to a sunny and cheerful girl.
Her words were like poking a hole in the flat cloth, and Helt, Will, Calvin and others also joined the debate.
The argument here was in full swing, but no one noticed that in a corner where no one cared, Borsalino had quietly walked out the door, reorganized the warship, and headed for the Sabaody Archipelago.
After arriving on the island, Borsalino was not in a hurry to deal with the Celestial Dragons. Instead, he first dealt with several pirate captains with bounties of over 100 million in Area 27, and accidentally kicked off the roots of the Argiman mangrove.
Borsalino raised his legs, and under his feet was the pirate captain known as the magician. He was obviously a big pirate with a bounty of more than 200 million, but at this moment he was in a very embarrassed state, as if his body was fixed, and he didn't even have the strength to escape, and could only reluctantly endure the upcoming attack.
The other three captains in this area were not much better. Even though they had tried their best and used their strongest abilities, the admiral in front of the admiral was so powerful that he knocked them all to the ground with just a few moves, seriously injured and unable to move.
Borsalino's foot was getting closer and closer to Hawkins' body, and it seemed that he would kick him to death in the next second.
At this moment, in the chaotic battlefield, everyone was desperately running out to escape, but a blue figure came in the opposite direction, walked to the most intense fighting area, and walked in front of the most dangerous general.
Is it her, the woman he met in the restaurant? Hawkins had an impression of her. From the calmness of throwing bullets with her bare hands, it can be seen that she is very strong, but whether she has the strength to fight against the admiral of the navy is unknown.
However, his idea fell through. Borsalino did not attack her. Instead, he looked at her with a lazy and familiar look.
"Hey, isn't this little Cheng Xi? How come you don't even say hello when you see your senior now? I'm really sad."
Cheng Xi pursed her lips, and the emotions in her eyes were unclear, but she finally said, "Long time no see, Borsalino."
Her body has not fully recovered yet, and she will try not to fight if she can.
This is not called being a coward, this is called being a hero who knows the times!
Borsalino looked regretful: "It's really unfortunate. I happen to have official business today. Otherwise, I would like to invite you, Cheng Xi, to have a cup of coffee and dinner together."
Then he added: "I always wanted to invite you when you were in the navy, but unfortunately, either you didn't have time or I was very busy, so I always missed it."
He tried to move closer to Cheng Xi, but Cheng Xi silently retreated and avoided him, and the two of them maintained a distance of five or six meters.
Cheng Xi corrected him ruthlessly: "Old Huang, please speak properly and don't use the tricks you use to pick up girls on me, okay? I don't buy it, and you're really a bit... greasy."
Borsalino didn't expect her to speak so directly and hurt his heart.
"Really? Cheng Xi's words are really sad, but I really want to pursue you."
Cheng Xi: "That won't work."
"Why?"
Cheng Xi thought for a while and used a more abstract statement: "Do you know the flower language of pea tips?"
The flower language of pea tips?
Borsalino was a little confused. Aren't pea tips a kind of vegetable? Cheng Xi had planted a pot of it in the office before, and often used it to cook noodles. Where did the flower language of this thing come from?
He tentatively replied: "Are you saying that I'm economical and delicious?"
But if she really wanted to praise herself, she wouldn't refuse so straightforwardly.
Cheng Xi shook his head and said something very chilling with his 37-degree mouth: "The flower language of pea tips is "don't want the old ones". Mr. Borsalino, you are very good, but I prefer the young ones."
Borsalino:...
The sharp-tongued people like Yushula are really inherited from this girl.
While speaking, Cheng Xi suddenly felt an unfriendly breath. She looked in the direction of the breath and saw a pirate wearing headphones lying on the ground. Although he had just been beaten and was seriously injured, he still had no intention of stopping.
Having seen absolute strength, Appu knew that he would definitely not be able to beat the admiral of the navy, but as a pirate, he had a problem. He liked to be in the limelight and see other people's terrified expressions begging for mercy, so he set his sights on Cheng Xi.
Judging from their previous conversation, this woman should also be a navy, and a junior of Kizaru. She looks much easier to deal with than Kizaru.
His eyes rolled around, as if he was calculating something.
No matter how you look at it, it's an expression of someone who has thought carefully and carefully, but ended up coming up with a bunch of bad ideas.
Sure enough, he took advantage of Cheng Xi's inattention and attacked her with his music attack. In the first half of the Grand Line without armed color domineering, this invisible music attack could not be solved by anyone, so he was used to being rampant and chose to suffer one setback after another, but he didn't expect that he would run into a tough guy again the second time.
Before everyone could react, Cheng Xi's figure had moved to his side. She had two swords on her back, so she should be a swordsman, but she was too lazy to draw her swords when facing A Pu. She just raised her foot and kicked him far away with just one kick.
Poor A Pu, he left a residual image. Under the eyes of everyone, he gradually flew out of GR No. 21, and his figure slowly disappeared. No one knew where he would land in the end, and whether he would still be alive.
Cheng Xi looked at Borsalino calmly: "There are many big pirates on this island today. In addition to the three on the ground and the one that flew away, I can help you catch the other ones that slipped through the net, Kidd, Killer, and the gangsters." "
Cheng Xi's strength is really terrible, but I'm not here for these small fish. The main target this time is the straw hat boy who beat up the Celestial Dragon."
After all, he is a big pirate with a bounty of over 100 million. He was called a small fish by Borsalino. He was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart, but he could do nothing about it. Hawkins, Drake and Urouge were more determined to become stronger.
Cheng Xi tried to persuade: "We are all workers, don't make it so difficult for yourself."
She understood Borsalino's slacking nature. If she could do the work tomorrow, she would definitely try to leave it for the day after tomorrow, so she would chat with her leisurely here.
"This is not something I can decide. If I fail to catch the Straw Hats this time, Marshal Sengoku will definitely make things difficult for me."
Cheng Xi was silent for a moment, then she slowly walked to Borsalino's side, stood on tiptoe, and said something in his ear that only the two of them could hear.
"Just think of it as showing mercy, otherwise I will tell the pirate over there..."
She pointed at Drake and said, "It's about the undercover of the navy."
If Borsalino was still in a state of ease and had the upper hand in the conversation just now, she is gradually becoming suspicious now.
How did she know about this?
Did Kuzan or Yusura tell her? Impossible, this confidential operation was only known to a few internal members of the special forces, not even Sakaski and Kuzan. Could it be
that she has a spies in the headquarters?
Borsalino's eyes became formal when he looked at Cheng Xi.
In fact, Cheng Xi couldn't be sure of Drake's true identity at all. He just had a sudden idea to trick Borsalino, and the reason was very simple.
Whose bad guy's nickname is "Red Flag"?
He is a good guy with a good family background. It's better to call him something like Sang Biao, at least it has the right momentum.
Seeing that Cheng Xi and Kizaru's eyes were all looking at him, Drake was panicked for a moment, but he quickly calmed down and pretended to be calm.
Borsalino asked: "What does little Cheng Xi want to do?"
Cheng Xi:!
Did you really trick him?
Cheng Xi tried his best to calm himself: "It's very simple. Let's go have a cup of coffee together, or go to Shabaodi Land or something like that. When Marshal Sengoku asks about it, we can say that they have already fled to Fishman Island by boat."
She was so considerate that she even thought of the reasons for Borsalino.
"Then I can only obey your orders."
After saying that, he put down his official duties and walked side by side with Cheng Xi. It happened that they met the big bear who had completely beaten the Straw Hat Pirates away.
This proved that Luffy and his friends were completely safe.
So Cheng Xi stopped and said, "Borsalino, wait a minute, I can't go for coffee with you."
"Hey, why is that?"
"My pet is about to give birth. I'm leaving first. Bye."
After saying that, she ran away without feeling guilty about having stood up Borsalino.
Borsalino was left standing there with a confused look on his face.
Well, another date failed.
After running away, Cheng Xi did not return to Furens Island. Instead, he randomly found a coated ship at the port, sneaked into it, and went to Fishman Island with it.
Perhaps because of the prophecy that someone was going to hurt Princess Otohime, Xia Li's attitude towards her was completely different from the last time. She was very enthusiastic and friendly and used the crystal ball to tell fortunes for her.
It showed that it was a good omen.
After coming out of Xia Li's place, Cheng Xi was intercepted by three fishmen. They claimed to be the three princes of the Shark Star, the Emperor Star, and the Overturned Star of Fishman Island. Their mother, Princess Otohime, who had been in a coma for many years, woke up a few days ago. When they heard that she had arrived at Fishman Island, they specially asked the three princes to invite Cheng Xi to visit the palace.
Cheng Xi nodded and agreed, and then followed them to the large and luxurious palace with a giant dragon and sunlight, and was warmly received.
Otohime was very hospitable and took her to visit the interior decoration of Ryugu Castle, which was very distinctive. In a long and narrow corridor, Cheng Xi saw a woman with long wavy light pink hair with her back to her, seemingly admiring the murals on the wall. She always felt that this back figure was familiar.
So she asked, "Who is she...?"
She was her savior, had a good relationship with Garp, and had already retired from the navy. Thinking of this, Otohime was silent for a while, and finally told the truth.
"Twenty years ago, she fell into a long coma due to severe exhaustion after giving birth. She was sent to Fishman Island by Vice Admiral Garp, a place that few people would think of, and was hidden there. She just woke up a few days ago, and we haven't had time to inform Vice Admiral Garp. As for her true identity."
Otohime shook her head: "I don't know either."
Cheng Xi complained in his heart that there were too many coma patients on Fishman Island, but he didn't show much fluctuation on the surface.
At this time, the woman seemed to have heard the voices from this side, and turned to look at them. At a glance, she and Cheng Xi's eyes were filled with surprise and disbelief at the same time. She
had big wavy light pink curls, some freckles on her cheeks, and a gentle appearance.
Cheng Xi remembered that after Roger's death, the navy launched a massacre of newborns and their parents on the entire island of Trila in the South China Sea. He had seen this woman in a remote area of the island. She was about to give birth at that time, but she looked very tired and had a bad complexion. She was also worried about the navy's pursuit of her, and she was exhausted and dared not go to the hospital.
So Cheng Xi secretly prepared some blood-replenishing and body-strengthening medicine from the hospital at the Navy Headquarters and sent it to her. He didn't expect to see her here today.
The two spoke at the same time: "Is it you!?"
"Lieutenant General Cheng Xi."
Because of the long sleep, she was a little weak and her voice was a little hoarse, but at least she didn't seem to be in any danger of life.
Cheng Xi: "I have resigned from the Navy."
Out of trust in Cheng Xi's kindness, longing for her son, and her relationship with Garp, the light pink-haired woman finally plucked up the courage to ask her: "Vice Admiral Cheng Xi... Oh no, Lord Cheng Xi, can you tell me, my child, is he okay now?"
That was the child who gathered all the love of herself and his father, and would rather die to protect his life.
Cheng Xi was not quite used to her addressing herself, and the word "adult" always felt strange.
She smiled politely and asked: "Sister, what is your child's name?"
"Ace."
Lu Jiu repeated again: "His name is Portgas D. Ace." When she
mentioned her child, she unconsciously raised an extremely gentle smile on her face.
Cheng Xi:...
"He is very good, and has many friends and family. You should take good care of your health here. He will meet you soon, sister... Oh no, aunt, oh no, auntie."
This title seems a bit inappropriate!
Then how should I call her? Cheng Xi began to spin the CPU in his brain at high speed.
