Chapter 63 Confession of Love
Chapter 63: Confession of Love
Zhan Guo should have thought of it earlier.
Although Rosinante is introverted and slow to warm up, he is a common man. He has been following this little devil, how can he stay quiet?
Up to the time when the Moby Dick emerged from the sea, everything in this war was still under the control of the navy. Although Luffy, Cheng Xi, Sabo and other uninvited guests appeared later, it was not a big problem.
Until the appearance of the lock-picking soldier who didn't even show his face just now, Zhan Guo really began to panic. The thin wire was left on the execution platform, flashing an inconspicuous light under the sunlight, as if mocking the careful planning and deployment of all the senior navy officials for nearly a month.
And now, when Rosinante appeared, Zhan Guo's heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally died, and died very unpeacefully.
Zhan Guo's tone was excited, stern, and a little angry: "Rosinante, put your gun down!"
Unlike when he faced those pirates, there was no murderous intent in this, but from the anger in his tone, it can be guessed that Rosinante must be beaten today.
Sure enough, Zhan Guo shouted at him again: "Do you believe that I will beat you to death!?"
No one would believe it.
This was the first reaction of everyone on the field. When Kuku was killing Golden Lion and Rocks, there was no warning at all. He just started fighting as soon as he disagreed. Relatively speaking, this is a warning of thunder and rain. If Rosinante really falls into your hands, you can beat him half to death at best.
Rosinante felt guilty towards Zhan Guo. When he was desperate, Zhan Guo adopted him and raised him like his own son, but he not only failed to complete the corresponding undercover mission, but also stole the operation fruit. He felt sorry for Zhan Guo, and now he made such a big fuss on the battlefield.
But now that things have turned into this, the entire battlefield is no longer a dispute between the father and son, and no one can tell right from wrong.
Sorry, Rosinante apologized silently in his heart, just think of my rebellious youth as not over yet.
Then he stretched out his hand to create a silent cover that seemed particularly "unnecessary" on the battlefield, pointed at Sengoku, and then pointed at the silent cover on his body. The meaning was very clear, I am a silent man, I use the power of the fruit, and I can't hear what you are saying.
Rosinante's move finally cured Sengoku's low blood pressure for many years.
"Fufufufufufu." A burst of rampant laughter suddenly sounded on the battlefield. The man with sunglasses looked at Rosinante on the high platform, and the memory of the raging fire and shooting his brother personally a few years ago came to his mind.
"Rossi, you are really like your father, believing in this useless and stupid kindness."
Unlike Sengoku, although Doflamingo called him very intimately, his tone was very cold, and there was a hint of murderous intent.
Over the years, he had woken up from nightmares many times, but he did not regret it. If he was given a chance to start over, he would still make the same choice. People who betray their families have no right to live in the world, even if this person is his blood brother who depended on him when he was a child.
Rosinante wondered whether the word "your father" in Dov's mouth meant that he only refused to recognize his father, or he also refused to recognize his brother.
While he was thinking, Doflamingo had already used the power of the String-String Fruit to fly to the high platform, stood behind him, and posed in the posture of animal claws. His five fingers created five nearly transparent colorless thin lines around Rosinante, as if they would penetrate his body and pierce his internal organs in the next second.
"Long time no see, it seems that you have been doing well recently, Krason."
With Rosinante's current level of observation Haki, of course he felt the threat, but did not move, but still focused all his energy on the Saint of Charlos in front of him, which was his biggest goal now.
As for his back, Rosinante believed in his partner.
Sure enough, as soon as Doflamingo finished speaking, he realized that something hard and sharp was pressing against his waist. He could feel the cold and dangerous feeling through the clothes.
"Hey, Tenyasha, don't shoot such dangerous rays at my friends."
Doflamingo didn't look back. He could tell from the voice that it was Cheng Xi who had played a trick on him once.
The cute expression on her face when she complained to those annoying marines was still vivid in his mind. She was beautiful, but a dangerous rose with thorns. The weapon against his waist was most likely her sword.
Seeing their position, everyone thought of a dessert that has been popular in the past decade.
My goodness, you guys are holding a string of candied haws! ?
Doflamingo ignored Cheng Xi's words, but continued to talk to himself, but this time he spoke very softly, and only the three people on the platform could hear him.
"Fufufufufu, my beautiful little rose, how pitiful."
"You hate the Celestial Dragons so much and want to overthrow the World Government, how could you not think that Rosi, whom you regard as a good friend, is also a Celestial Dragon."
Doflamingo laughed crazily, his eyes with sunglasses made it difficult to see his emotions. As he expected, after saying this, Rosinante's body froze, his expression froze, and he looked a little dazed, but it was only a moment before he returned to his normal expression.
Cheng Xi raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly: "I have known about this kind of thing for a long time, so, do you have anything else to say?"
To be precise, it was Cheng Xi who knew Rosinante's identity, but she thought that since Rosinante didn't want to reveal his identity, she would pretend not to know. Rosinante also knew that Cheng Xi knew his identity, and the two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't mention it to anyone. Unexpectedly, Doflamingo broke this window paper today.
After his identity was exposed, except for a moment of being at a loss, Rosinante actually felt much more relaxed afterwards.
In fact, Cheng Xi hated not the Celestial Dragons, but those who bullied others and committed crimes, such as the stupid and bad Saint Charlos mentioned above.
As for Rocinante, except for the surgery fruit, the most "evil" thing he did was probably asking the store owner to give him some onions, ginger and garlic when buying vegetables, or making faces at the old lady next door in exchange for a piece of chocolate (mainly because his faces were too ugly, the old lady always thought that the child had an IQ problem), and even then she would give him a piece.
But Doflamingo didn't think so. He felt that Cheng Xi must be pretending to be calm, but in fact he was almost sad to death, so he tried to comfort him very intimately: "Beautiful little rose, I can feel the fragility in your heart. You need someone to comfort you, and I will be the man who will take care of you, cherish you, and love you for the rest of your life."
There was a strange calm on the high platform.
Cheng Xi couldn't help but roll her eyes. She had encountered countless enemies and countless physical attacks over the years, but this was the first time someone used magic to break her defense.
Finally, it was Rosinante who spoke first to break the silence. He advised kindly, "Dover, read less novels about domineering CEOs in the future."
Cheng Xi: "Tian Yasha, do you have stomach problems?"
This question confused Doflamingo. He didn't know what she meant. Was she concerned about my health?
Sure enough, women are like this. A few words of tender concern will soften their attitudes. Even a strong woman like her is no exception. He said confidently, "Fufufufufufu, little rose, my body is very healthy."
Cheng Xi looked at Rosinante and said as if he had known this long ago, "You see, he doesn't have stomach problems and can't be a CEO."
Rosinante said bluntly: "It seems that you have seen a lot."
His brain was broken.
Although he didn't know what their words meant, Doflamingo was still a little angry. His five fingers moved slightly, and the thin line began to extend. Unfortunately, before he got close to Rosinante, he realized that the sharp object on his waist had touched his skin through his clothes, like winter ice, cold and sharp.
"Tian Yasha, do you think my sword is faster or your line is faster?"
Doflamingo analyzed the situation on the field and finally gave up: "Since it is Little Rose's request, I will be merciful and let Rosante go this time."
After saying that, he took back the five-color line, and after sensing that the tip of the sword was a distance away from his waist, he jumped off the platform.
Only then did he see clearly that what Cheng Xi held in his hand was not a long sword, and even worse, it was not even a weapon. It was a gorgeous red rose condensed by her Makeup Fruit ability. As for the cold and sharp feeling on his waist, it was the armed color domineering she attached to the rose.
Cheng Xi threw the rose down from the platform. Doflamingo subconsciously tried to catch it, but as soon as he caught it, Cheng Xi had already released the ability of the fruit. The beautiful rose quickly turned into bright red petals, drifting away with the wind and gradually dissipating. Just like the owner of this flower, no one could catch her.
The war is drawing to a close, and both sides are close to their limits. Even the dozen captains of the Whitebeard Pirates have been seriously injured. Rocinante's kidnapping of the Celestial Dragons is like giving everyone a chance to blame the CP for their dereliction of duty, which has nothing to do with the Navy.
Most people want to end this war. They want to live a complete life and see the sun tomorrow morning.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as Sakaski.
The big fire that represents the full force of the admiral of the navy hit Ace. It was boiling magma with more impact than a volcanic eruption. At the critical moment, Ace tried his best to use his ability to resist.
Mirror Fire ignited a large wall of flames. Unexpectedly, he actually blocked Sakaski's strongest attack!
No, it was not just him. When the smoke from the two sides' moves dissipated, everyone realized that it was Cheng Xi holding a sword and Sabo holding a water pipe. The three of them blocked Sakaski's attack together.
Seeing this scene, Sakaski shouted angrily: "Cheng Xi, get out of here!"
Cheng Xi grabbed Ace's wrist, shook his head, and said firmly: "You can get out, but I want to take Ace with me!"
Sakaski: "If I don't kill him today, there will definitely be bigger trouble in the future."
"I will cause bigger trouble than him."
This is not a question, but an affirmative sentence. Is there any bigger trouble in this world than overthrowing the world government?
Sakaski: "Cheng Xi, you've gone too far."
At that family dinner, he had personally promised his master's wife that he would take good care of Cheng Xi. Based on Sakaski's understanding of Cheng Xi's character, she is an extremely opinionated person. Of course, she is tough on the outside and tougher on the inside. It is harder than climbing to the sky to make her surrender, so the scene is deadlocked.
At this time, Sengoku, who was not far away, pointed at Moria who was still lying unconscious on the spot and said to Cheng Xi: "Gekko Moria was defeated in public and is no longer qualified to be a Shichibukai."
The implication was that as long as Cheng Xi stopped her rebellion, he would accept her even if she became a pirate, and he could give her a position as a Shichibukai. Of course, it would be better if she could come back to be a navy, and she would be promoted to admiral within half a year. Unfortunately, this is just like Garp's fantasy that the Straw Hat Boy could be a navy, which is simply a dream!
Cheng Xi pretended not to understand what he was saying and shook his head, "Junpei just wants to study hard, not to be a Shichibukai."
The child still has to take the college entrance examination. Wouldn't being a Shichibukai delay his studies?
Sengoku: ...
Rosinante also noticed the movement below, and a shot hit the right shoulder of Charlos Saint with a "bang". This was not a fatal injury, but more like a threat to Sakaski.
In fact, Rossinante was a little afraid of Sakaski. When he was a vice admiral, his powerful Meteor Volcano left a shadow on many newcomers who had just joined the navy. However, now the arrow has been shot and there is no turning back. Even if he will die, Rossinante has to bite the bullet and go ahead.
The gunshot was like a thunderclap in the sky, almost scaring the navy soldiers to death. They dared not make any move, fearing that this ancestor would accidentally discharge his gun and really collapse the Celestial Dragons.
Unconsciously, Ace had stood in the front, silently and subtly protecting Cheng Xi behind him in a protective posture.
Sakaski noticed his little action and said disdainfully: "Fire Fist, what are you doing? You are playing the trick of being a hero and saving the beauty when you can't save yourself?"
Ace: "I know that I can't beat you with my current strength, and this is not a childish hero saving the beauty."
"Then what do you mean?"
The embarrassed black-haired boy said in a firm tone, fearlessly: "If you let the girl you like stand in front of you in danger, what kind of man is that?"
As soon as the voice fell, the scene was relatively calm. After a while, everyone reacted and their brains began to work, like a stone on a calm lake, causing ripples, and the scene exploded instantly.
What did Fire Fist just say! ?
He said Cheng Xi was the girl he liked.
He expressed his feelings amid the clamor of countless people. The boy's love was frank, passionate and gentle, and he didn't even ask for a response.
You are the girl I like, and I want to protect you, but that doesn't mean you have to respond to me. You can continue your adventure.
Liking Cheng Xi is a unilateral thing for Ace.
Everyone's reaction was explosive. It was hard to tell whether it was excitement or gossip. Fire Fist, you boy, are so young and energetic, perverse and enthusiastic.
You made it directly to the finals with just one sentence. The spectators were like little mice falling into a rice jar, eating their lives to death.
Others at the center of the topic were extremely unhappy, such as the gloomy family group, the girlfriends group who secretly planned to assassinate Fire Fist, or some sea men.
But there are exceptions.
Garp showed a brilliant smile that he had never seen in his life, and so did Whitebeard.
"Hey, what did I just hear?" Borsalino, who had long ceased fighting with Fallen Hellmon, patted the dust off his slightly dirty clothes, pointed at Cheng Xi and said lazily: "Fire Fist, do you mean you like her?"
Ace nodded.
Borsalino seemed to be reminding, as if warning: "Young people are really wishful enough. In this sea, beauties are only worthy of the strong. Otherwise, even if you get them for a while, you can't keep them for a lifetime."
Unexpectedly, before Ace spoke, Cheng Xi took over and said: "I understand what you mean, Borsalino."
She continued to say unconventionally: "I will work hard to become a strong man."
The warrior Cheng Xi worked hard to become a strong man, and then possessed the beautiful Ace. This kind of plot just sounds very inspiring.
Unfortunately, her strong flag collapsed in less than half a minute. The wound and fatigue made her unable to hold on any longer. She felt a sharp pain in her heart, a sweet and fishy feeling in her throat, and then she spat out a mouthful of dark red blood. The blood flowed along the corners of her mouth, and she fell to the ground weakly. What
her body felt was not the cold ground, but a warm embrace. At this moment, Whitebeard finally rushed over from the sea, grabbed Cheng Xi who almost fainted on the ground, and sent her to Ace's arms.
"Hulala, the era of you young people has just begun, but I don't know if my old bones can still see that scene."
"Dad, what do you mean?"
Not only Ace, but other members of the Whitebeard Pirates also saw that the Navy had no intention of stopping the war. He was planning to fight against all the Navy forces with his own strength in exchange for the escape of the entire Whitebeard Pirates.
Ace held Cheng Xi in his arms and tried to persuade Whitebeard to escape from Marinford with everyone, but Whitebeard had made up his mind and it was not easy to change it. He was already very old. Natural aging and the old injuries accumulated in his body during decades of fighting at sea made him feel that he had not much time left, so he might as well use his death to exchange a way out for his family.
"I am a remnant of the old times. There is no ship in this world that can carry me."
Ace said hysterically: "No, Whitebeard's era will never end!"
He sent Cheng Xi to the arms of Yushula, who had always been cold and cold to him and wanted to skin him alive, and said to Whitebeard: "Dad, I am not a man who is afraid of death. If you have decided to take this path, then please let me accompany you."
Hearing this, the other captains also expressed that they would never leave.
Obviously, there is no blood relationship. In the eyes of outsiders, the evil pirates with a cruel reputation are actually closer than family members with the same blood.
There is also a trace of sadness in this touching scene. The hero is old, which is a fact that no one can stop.
Cheng Xi was so anxious.
She heard the whole conversation while unconscious and wanted to wake up immediately to stop it, but unfortunately she was too seriously injured and needed a few minutes to rest. When she opened her eyes, the second war was about to begin.
"It's all my fault, stop!" She stood up shakily from Yusura's arms, picked up the loudspeaker Den Den Mushi and shouted at the top of her voice.
"Ace, Whitebeard, don't say the word 'death' casually. I, Cheng Xi, have to bring back the people I want to save, even if they are already at the gate of Hades."
"Sakaski, Sengoku, Ganggu Kong, you three don't care about the life of the celestial dragon on the top floor and plan to continue fighting, right, or have you calculated that Rosinante's kind character makes it impossible for him to really kill Saint Charlos?"
"In that case, are you afraid of me?"
After saying that, she took out a flute from her waist under everyone's surprised gazes and showed it to everyone. It was a purple bamboo flute engraved with intricate patterns. It was noon at this moment, and the sun was high in the sky, emitting dazzling sunlight, but they all inexplicably felt that this bamboo flute had a gloomy and weird feeling, and it was emitting a chill, as if it came out of hell. Even many viewers behind the screens couldn't help but shudder.
"Six hours ago, I put poisonous insects in all the Celestial Dragons living in Marijoa."
Two years ago, she accidentally read a book about poisoning in Langhuan Pavilion, and happened to see the auction item of Death Scorpion at the auction house. A plan specifically targeting the Celestial Dragons began to take shape.
A few days ago, after Cheng Xi came out of Fishman Island, she returned to the laboratory of the store to complete the final finishing work and successfully sneaked into Marijoa as a cook. It was not until this morning that she successfully spread the poisonous insects into the exclusive water source for the Celestial Dragons. After Cheng Xi finished
speaking, everyone was shocked at first, then became confused and puzzled, and finally turned to calm collectively.
Zhan Guo cursed: "Cheng Xi, what kind of moth have you made again!?"
Cheng Xi: ...
She suddenly realized that it seems that people in this world... don't know what a poisonous insect is?
Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions about her earth-shaking behavior, Cheng Xi felt a sense of loss that she had made a big meal in a hurry but was evaluated as not as good as the pickles bought at the market for fifty berries.
Fortunately, her beloved disciple spoke up in time to explain to everyone: "It is to mix many kinds of poisonous insects together. For example, this time my teacher spent two years making the Gu for the Celestial Dragons. It contains Alabasta poisonous strawberries, death scorpions and Galapagos centipedes..."
He explained science to everyone very professionally, and one poisonous creature after another came out of his mouth. Finally, under his passionate speech, everyone's expression changed.
Shocked, terrified, scared, and extremely ugly.
Especially in the Warring States period, Cheng Xi vowed to the world that she wanted to live a peaceful life, but the "peaceful life" she mentioned was to tinker with those poisonous insects while selling drinks at home every day! ?
"I know this, it's the powerful poison you told me in the dream, Cheng Xi!" Ace's eyes were full of stars, and he exclaimed, "This sounds even cooler, Cheng Xi, you are really amazing!"
Ah! ?
Everyone keenly grasped the blind spot in Ace's words. You two usually communicate in dreams, what's the difference between this and lying in the same bed?
Ace, you kid, do great things without making any noise! Ace's
stock price is soaring, and it is about to soar to the sky.
Cheng Xi was a little overwhelmed by his praise: "Of course, I'm super powerful, even more powerful than the God of Death."
Facing many of the Navy's top fighters, he threatened: "If anyone wants to continue this war, I will let more than half of the Celestial Dragons in Mary Geoise be buried with Ace!"
Rosinante on the high platform silently complained in his heart, it has been determined, and you, Cheng Xi, my dear friend, you are the real domineering boss.
The atmosphere continued to be deadlocked, and the battlefield was terribly quiet. The Navy had planned this war for a long time and mobilized all forces. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, but Fire Fist still managed to escape successfully. There were also a lot of careless people who turned against them on the spot. Now their momentum is declining. The most important thing is that Cheng Xi holds the lives of most of the Celestial Dragons in his hands. Once something really happens, it will not be the anger that the Navy can bear.
Zhan Guo thought for a long time and had already thought of a ceasefire in his mind.
Unfortunately, the sudden appearance of an uninvited guest disrupted his thinking.
This was an extremely intimidating aura. Just from the voice, one could tell that this person was unimaginably powerful: "No one can leave today. All of you scum will die here."
Saint Satan possessed the ability to teleport. When he arrived at the battlefield, the powerful feeling of oppression made many people tremble and sweat. Some people below the rank of brigadier general or captain knelt on the ground, not even having the courage to look up at him.
Seeing him coming, Zhan Guo's first reaction was to tell the weaker navy to kneel down immediately and not look directly at Satan Saint. Of course, there were also weaker ones who looked up out of curiosity. Their fate, without exception, was that they were all shot in the head and died. The blood splashed on the faces of the enemies or partners, making them even more terrified.
This is an innate fear of the unknown and death.
Everyone was shocked by this accident. The war was about to end, but his appearance brought huge troubles.
Satan looked at Cheng Xi. He used to think of her as a tiny bug, but he didn't expect that this time he would be so angry with this bug. He was so angry that he boasted: "Cheng Xi, you really have a good brain."
"I'm going to take your head out alive and put it in the laboratory for dissection. I don't know if your mouth will be as hard as it is now."
Cheng Xi scolded: "Dream about your spring and autumn, Satan Laoden, are you a little too arrogant? Unlike in Marijoa, my partners are all here. Even if you are awesome, can you survive our group fight?"
Mihawk drew his sword and Marco spread his wings and kicked at him, but unexpectedly, their attacks seemed to hit the air. Mihawk's sword moves penetrated Satan and split the distant building, and Marco did not kick the target.
The strongest man in the world finally took action. He activated the fruit ability, shaking the surrounding air upside down, and attacked Satan. Satan still did not receive this attack, as if nothing had happened.
Other people's attacks were useless to him.
What is going on?
Is it his fruit ability or some special race, or the new technology of the navy?
No, judging from the reaction of the navy, they were also surprised by Satan's invulnerability. This couldn't be the navy's new technology.
Cheng Xi was speechless. He had just said he wanted to fight a group of people, but now Satan was inexplicably invulnerable. No matter whether it was the Tremor-Tremor Fruit of the world's strongest man or the sword moves of the world's number one swordsman, all moves could not attack him.
Sure enough, the world is a huge face-slapping cycle.
