Chapter 85 A poetic night
Three more days passed, and news suddenly came from the outside world that the navy surveillance ship responsible for monitoring Whitebeard was captured. For a time, the entire Marinford became panicked. This meant that the Whitebeard Pirates were finally starting to take action. Action was taken, but the navy lost track of their movements. The navy was under surveillance before the war started.
"Damn it, all of them have been wiped out. It seems that Whitebeard is going to come out to fight us. Isn't he afraid that his territory will be attacked by Kaido?"
Pirates who are afraid of Whitebeard's strength may not dare to have any evil intentions, but Kaido, who has always had problems with him, will definitely not sit idly by. Kaido, who is also the Yonko, will definitely stab Whitebeard in the back.
It is already the ninth day after arriving at the Navy Headquarters. Tomorrow is the execution day of Podocas D. Ace. At noon on this day, the intelligence department spread the news of the collective riot of prisoners in the Deep Sea Prison the following year. At the same time, the news of the Four Emperors Information about Kaido's attack on Whitebeard's hinterland.
Unexpected events always happened one after another, and soon new events broke out one after another. The news that Straw Hat Luffy invaded the deep-sea prison and led the prisoners to launch a riot was confirmed. At the same time, Kaido, who attempted to attack Whitebeard's hinterland, was also confirmed. The red-haired Yonko stopped him, and a small conflict broke out between the two sides.
The development of the matter was more and more unexpected. Although these news were quickly blocked by the higher-ups, the gossip still spread. It was not until the marshal ordered that Fire Fist Ace be immediately escorted to the headquarters that the rumors about Whitebeard were stopped. Rumors are already attacking the underwater prison.
For the sake of Luffy, the group went to talk to Su Wei, and finally felt relieved after receiving the answer that Luffy would definitely be fine. According to the current intelligence analysis, Luffy's purpose of invading the Undersea Prison must be to save his brother, but the probability of him succeeding without knowing anything about the prison is simply negligible, and Fire Fist is already on the way to be escorted to the headquarters. Even if Luffy successfully escapes from prison, he will have to transfer to the Navy Headquarters to continue his rescue operation. He had a hunch that Luffy would definitely rush into the maelstrom of Marineford without hesitation, and the two would meet again tomorrow.
It’s just that Qianbal and Perona are still a little worried about the current situation of the four of them. They originally expected that the four of them would officially join the headquarters and become a part of the navy, but now they seem to have become a nominal navy in name only. This is not as big as being a Shichibukai. The difference is that the four of them have not been assigned any duties until now.
The development of the matter has exceeded Su Wei's expectations. The World Government's ability to collect intelligence is indeed very strong. She and her party are people with no background. It is not easy to gain trust in the navy, until Su Wei asks them After the three said that the current situation had no impact on what she would do in the future, they no longer dwelled on the embarrassing situation.
Tomorrow is the day of execution. After dinner, Yi Xing and Su Wei sat in the pavilion in the yard and chatted, recalling every detail of the past three months. Although Luffy's help was part of the reason why the two were able to turn enemies into friends, the group felt that it was Su Wei who made more efforts to turn enemies into friends. This woman seemed to have no intention of becoming his enemy from the beginning.
Upon further investigation, from the first time she met this woman, she did not regard herself as an enemy. Especially when she was accidentally involved in the turbulence of space, this woman even risked her life to save her own life. These actions It all made him feel very suspicious. There must be something she was hiding from him. Now she took advantage of the opportunity when no outsiders were around to ask this doubt. However, after hearing this question, Su Wei directly ignored him. , remained silent about this.
After repeatedly confirming that it was impossible to get the answer from her, the party stopped entangled in the matter. Anyway, there was plenty of time in the future, and there were plenty of opportunities to find the truth. Finally, the topic was brought back to Fire Fist Ace, who would be executed tomorrow.
"What about Ace's ending? Was he successfully rescued?"
Deep down in their hearts, the group still hopes that Luffy can get his wish and rescue his brother, so that everyone will be happy and Mr. Garp won't have to be so entangled and depressed all day long.
"No, Ace will eventually die, and Edward Whitebeard will also die on tomorrow's battlefield. The sh army will win a great victory, but Luffy will be fine. He is the son of destiny and is favored by God."
Contrary to the group's expectations, Su Wei took the initiative to tell him the outcome of tomorrow's war, without any resistance at all. The group was completely relieved that Luffy was fine, but Ace's matter made him a little entangled. He thought there would be a happy ending tomorrow, but he didn't expect it to be a tragedy.
"Don't think about making some small moves in secret tomorrow. There is a big gap between the strength of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy. It is impossible for the two of us to change anything. Especially with the current strength, it is absolutely impossible to deal with it. It will have any impact on the battle situation tomorrow. Besides"
After a slight pause, Su Wei thought for a few seconds and then continued.
"If only one of Luffy and Ace can live, who will you choose?"
"Of course Luffy."
The group chose Luffy without hesitation. After all, Ace was not familiar with him, and even if he was Luffy's brother, it was none of his business.
"So, don't go too far in tomorrow's war. After all, our position is on the side of the navy. The reason why Ace must die is because he is the blood of the pirate king Gol D. Roger. If he doesn't die, the navy will It won’t stop no matter what, and it’s useless for anyone to stop it.”
"I understand. I will never do anything out of control tomorrow. Don't worry, I just want Luffy to be fine."
No longer worried about Luffy, the group thought of Uncle Master's matter again, and he raised the issue tactfully again.
"Don't worry, I won't have to deal with your uncle once or twice. He is a very tough man. We will find him one day."
It was already late at night, but the entire navy headquarters was brightly lit. Everyone was preparing for tomorrow's war. Groups of navy soldiers were busy coming and going in the outer spiritual consciousness. In order to hone his proficiency in controlling spiritual consciousness, he accepted Su Wei's suggestion and kept his spiritual consciousness exposed all day long.
"It's just a pity for these navy soldiers. I don't know how many of them will die on the battlefield tomorrow."
Compared with high-level officers, the justice of ordinary soldiers may be purer. They just want to maintain world peace. The group suddenly had a feeling that the fault in this war was not with the pirates or the navy, but with the world.
What a ridiculous idea this was. He couldn't help but laugh at himself for his whimsical thought. The sound of footsteps interrupted the group's trance. Perona actually appeared outside the pavilion. This was the first time that the two of them met so late. Obviously Xiaopei came prepared. Scanning the surroundings, Su Wei had already left here at some point, and the surroundings were quiet.
"something"
"I can't come to you if I have nothing to do."
The tepid attitude made her very angry. Suppressing the anger that always emerged for no reason recently, Perona sat down next to the group. Perhaps feeling that the two of them were too close, the group moved a little to the side, leaving half an extra space between them.
Seeing this deliberate behavior, Perona also moved in the same direction, and the two of them were close to each other again. So, the group moved sideways again, and finally, both of them squeezed into the corner of the bench seat. In the past, it was Yi Xing who took the initiative to care about the two of them. This time, it was Xiao Pei who suddenly took the initiative, leaving him a little at a loss.
"Xiao Pei, this is not good, you"
He had barely finished speaking when he was severely interrupted by a voice in his mind.
"Don't make this child sad. She likes you so much. Do you want to hurt her?"
It was Su Wei's voice, transmitted through spiritual consciousness, that stopped what he wanted to say just now.
"I don't know how to deal with this situation, and Sanji didn't tell me what to do in this situation."
Although the two of them have established an intimate relationship, such a throw-in has never happened before. Sanjishi's teachings are limited to courting beauties, and do not include the special situation of beauties taking the initiative. Temporarily forcing themselves to calm down, the group asked Su Wei for help. She must have known what to do at this time after living for a thousand years.
"If you say what you just said, it will definitely hurt Xiaopei seriously. I will never allow this to happen, and you are not allowed to hurt her. Do you understand?"
There was a very obvious warning hidden in the voice. This was the first time Su Wei had given him such stern advice.
"I said, I don't know how to deal with this kind of thing. Just help me imagine a way. How do you know what I want to say?"
He had never encountered this situation before. He had taken the initiative in Aunt Shao's bar before, but now his passivity had caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead. If Su Wei hadn't stopped him, he would have instinctively pushed Perona away due to the nervousness just now. Now he could only put his raised hand on Perona's right waist.
"What do you think of Xiaopei?"
Su Wei didn't explain anything, but asked him a question.
Perona, who was next to the group, noticed his nervousness, smiled slightly, took out the handkerchief she carried with her and carefully wiped off his sweat. The originally white and clean handkerchief was slightly stained by sweat, and the color was obviously different from the other white areas, but she didn't mind at all.
"It's very good. He is young and energetic, and he is also very careful."
The action of wiping sweat was noticed by the group. They did not expect that this girl who was always angry at pet zombies had such a quiet and gentle side.
"Then do you like her?"
Well, it's a very lethal question. This question is more complicated than all the problems he has encountered in the past put together. He doesn't know how to answer it. Before he arrived in Shampoo Land, he had had a little... Pei recognizes the idea of being a sister.
"I do not know."
"What a silly boy. Tell me, if Xiao Pei suddenly disappeared, would you feel regretful? You can't say you don't know. Tell me directly whether you will or not."
Perhaps realizing that the question just made it difficult for him to do so, Su Wei changed the way he asked the question, but still added restrictions and only allowed him to choose one of the two. This way of asking questions was very similar to Aunt Shao's original question.
"meeting"
After several months of getting along, especially the gentle and sweet image that Perona has shown occasionally comes to mind. Thinking of losing her forever, Yi Xing felt a little uncomfortable. He absolutely did not want this situation to happen. He was already used to this feeling of having Perona by his side.
"Just like we did in Shaoyao's bar last time. Remember to be gentle. Xiaopei is just telling you that it's time for you to take a step further."
The exchange of spiritual consciousness ended here, and Su Wei's spiritual consciousness left the pavilion.
He breathed a long sigh of relief and secretly looked around. Now there was no one else in the whole yard except the two of them. Taking courage, Yi Xing moved the hand on Perona's waist to her abdomen and hugged her tighter. The sudden initiative made Perona nervous. After receiving the long-awaited response, Xiao Pei finally rested her little head on his chest.
In the distant corridor, Su Wei, who had been leaning on the railing to pay attention to the progress of the situation in the direction of the pavilion, has now completely recovered all her spiritual consciousness, and a smile appeared on her lips. This guy is really worrying. Fortunately, as Shaoyao said, he is not a hopeless idiot.
"Someone asked me just now if I like you."
The two of them stayed close to each other, and as time went by, this warmth made the group feel peaceful and peaceful.
"Then this is your answer." Lifting her little head, Perona looked up into Yi Xing's eyes, as if there were waves rippling in her eyes.
"like."
Breaking through the psychological barriers that they had always had, Yi Xing no longer felt embarrassed about saying the word "like". The tense spirit also relaxed, and he actually felt a little tired. It was incredible for him with such a powerful spiritual consciousness nowadays.
"Me too." Begonia's blooming smile appeared on Perona's face, which was so moving for a moment.
"When did you have feelings for me? We were enemies back then."
This is the answer that Yi Xing instinctively wants to know. He wants to know how he captured this girl's heart.
"Since you were willing to dress up as Kumasi to make me happy, no one has ever been so kind to me before. What about you?"
The problem comes back to one line.
"You have been secretly visiting me every day since I was practicing in seclusion."
A beautiful feeling began to rise in Xing Xing's heart, and he was even willing to stay in this state forever. Under the bright moonlight, the entire yard began to become poetic and picturesque. Follow “xinwu799” WeChat public account to see more
