Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 9 A New Chapter of Life: Secrets Exposed

The pale operating room was filled with the faint smell of disinfectant and the strong smell of blood. The drowsy Anke lay on the blood-stained operating table, his eyes wide open in horror, and his small chest heaved violently. with.

Anke looked at this familiar place full of fear, and slowly sat up, but accidentally knocked over a bottle with her left hand. She took it over and looked at it, but widened her big eyes in fear. Panting heavily, she put her hand over her mouth to suppress the scream, but she touched a piece of wet liquid. She trembled, and put her hand in front of her eyes, but it was covered with blood. She looked blankly at the left hand again. Inside the glass bottle, there is a violet eyeball, the godless pupil is facing her...

Anke's pale mouth moved a few times, and finally screamed unbearably...

With a "squeak", the door of the laboratory opened, and a handsome man in a white robe and a mask came in. He looked at Enke's collapsed expression, and smiled softly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Ah Lah~ Are you awake, lovely lady~~ How do you feel?"

An Ke crawled back in a panic, instinctively wanting to get away from this man as much as possible...

The man still smiled gently, pretending not to see Anke's frightened expression, and said softly: "Don't be afraid~ lovely lady~ It seems that the eyes of reincarnation are very compatible with you, and there hasn't been any rejection yet. Reaction. You, you are the first one, those experimental subjects have never got up from that bed~~~"

An Ke stared blankly at the bed he was sitting on, the bright colors on it stung An Ke's eyes.As if seeing the distorted faces of countless children before they died, Anke screamed and rolled off the bed, the glass bottle in his hand fell to the ground, the violet rolled in a circle, stopped, his pupils were facing Encore... …

Anke kept screaming, crawled to the corner of the wall with hands and feet, tried to shrink into a ball, trembling...

Seeing Anke's reaction, the man seemed to be in a good mood and sneered aloud, handed over the information in his hand and walked up to Anke, gently lifted Anke's chin with a finger, and comforted gently: "Don't be afraid~ Lovely lady~ You are my most precious test, test, product, oh. If you get hurt, I will be very sad~"

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the abandoned eyeball, and the man gracefully reached out to pick it up.An Ke looked at the man's snake-like eyes, breathing heavily, constantly struggling to break free from the man's confinement.

Feeling Anke's resistance, the man's hand suddenly increased his strength, pinched Anke's face fiercely to prevent her from turning her head, kept approaching Anke with his eyeballs, and said with a smile: "Didn't the lovely lady pay attention carefully?" Have you ever seen your own eyes? It's such a pity, look, what a beautiful eye~~~ It's just a pity..." The man pinched his hand hard, and the eyeball shattered instantly, the man smiled gently, Reaching out to touch Anke's left eye: "Compared to the perfect reincarnation eye, it's not worth mentioning at all! Right? Lovely lady~~"

Anke watched helplessly as his eyeballs were crushed in front of his eyes, and finally broke down and screamed...

"Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Anke on the hospital bed opened his eyes suddenly, screamed and sat up.She bowed her head and breathed hard, her long messy hair covered her small face.

Suddenly, her heavy breathing stopped, and she slowly raised her head. Her pale face was exposed from her hair, and she turned stiffly to look at her location: the pale ward, with the vague smell of disinfectant...

Pale and chapped lips opened and closed, the small chest heaved violently, reality and dreams were constantly overlapping...the blood-stained operating table, the man's cruel eyes, the crushed violet eyeballs, the looming smell of disinfectant...

Encore, who felt that the world was spinning, kept shaking his head, his big eyes were desperately opened to the maximum to look around, but he didn't seem to see anything...

The man's gentle smiling face suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, but his snake-like eyes were full of viciousness.He slowly raised a hand, a violet eyeball was placed in the palm of his hand, his fingers slowly tightened, and then he squeezed hard...

Anke screamed again, desperately throwing the things around him in front of him, as if he could dispel the illusion in front of him......

........................................................................

Anke's unusual screams and the sound of throwing things constantly came from the ward, which frightened the bandit who was lying on the ground tired and jumped up straight, and rushed straight to Anke's ward, panicking. In the meantime, many people were trampled on the ground by others...

As soon as the door opened, Luffy and the others were thrown on their faces by a pile of messy things before they had time to speak. Just as the things were pulled off their faces, another pile of things was thrown over, and a group of people hurriedly avoided the flying things , while shouting nervously: "Calm down, Enke, we are..." As soon as I was distracted and said something, I was attacked by more things, and the group had to continue to jump and hide...

Feeling that everything around him was thrown away, Anke covered his left eye with one hand, stepped back on the bed in a panic, and kept screaming: "Get out!! Don't come here!!!" Although the right eye with no focal length looked forward , but it's empty...

The group of people who finally escaped the fate of being knocked unconscious by the object just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but their hearts were scared out of their throats by Anke's hysterical screams.A group of people looked at me and I looked at you, all with question marks on their heads. Ace wanted to step forward to ask Encore what happened, but was frightened by Encore's sharper cry. The footsteps, the raised feet are not put or not.

Enke, who thought she was in a laboratory, curled up her petite body desperately, staring at the people in front of her in fear, but her out-of-focus eyes and excessive fear made her unable to see their appearance clearly, subconsciously thinking that they were also a laboratory people in...

Looking at Encore's desperate look, Lu Fei pressed his lips tightly, put his hand on the hat to cover his eyes, and walked towards Encore step by step...

An Ke watched in horror as the black figure in front of him was getting closer and closer, and wanted to continue to retreat but bumped against the wall.She still tightly covered her left eye with her left hand, threatening in a low voice like a wounded animal, but her trembling voice revealed endless fear: "Don't come here...

Don't come...don't come..."

Luffy continued to walk forward as if he was unknown, and slowly stretched out his right hand...

Anke looked at the black shadow opposite with a pale face and stretched out his hand, and finally couldn't help summoning the trident and swung it vigorously, screaming brokenly: "I told you not to come here!!!!!!!!!!!! !"

Seeing Encore in such pain, Ace and his group behind Luffy wanted to stop Luffy from moving forward, but suddenly saw a black weapon appearing in Encore's right hand out of thin air, and swiped Luffy's hand A deep, bone-deep wound...

There was an eerie silence in the ward, only Encore's heavy breathing and the sound of the blood on Luffy's hands "tick-tick" falling on the floor. Dogula looked at the trident in Anke's hand thoughtfully: I seem to have seen that weapon somewhere...

After a while, Anke, who had calmed down a little, slowly raised his head, seeing the blood on Lu Fei's hand, his big right eye shrank fiercely: blood, blood everywhere...

The puppet-like Encore no longer covered his left eye with force, his weak left hand slowly fell, and the bloody left eye was about to be exposed in front of everyone...

Seeing Encore's action, Luffy's pupils shrank, and he rushed forward, holding Encore's right hand holding the trident tightly with his left hand. The bloody right hand reached behind Encore's head, and tightly squeezed her head. Buried in his not-so-strong arms, he said in a deep voice, "It's okay, Enke!"

The boy's immature voice comforted Anke inexplicably, and slowly let go of his right hand holding the trident, and the godless eyes slowly closed. Before he completely fell into a coma, Anke said softly: "Are you ……who………"

Luffy took Encore's thin body into his arms completely. Although he didn't know why Encore asked such a question, he still cracked a big smile and said, "I'm Monkey? D? Luffy, I'm going to be One Piece man!"

......................................................

——In the evening of the same day, in Dadan's house.Everyone was sitting in the living room on the first floor, and Encore was placed in his room to rest.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Maguar!!" Luffy bared his teeth and yelled, and the cockscomb-headed whānau maguel who was helping Luffy bandage his wound said softly: "Hi,hhhhhh, bear with me. , Luffy, it's almost over."

Besides Luffy's cry of pain, Dadan's house was eerily quiet at this time, and Ace was standing in the corner with his hands folded, his head bowed, not knowing what he was thinking.And Dadan frowned and asked seriously: "Is what you said true? Dogula?"

The little Dogula nodded, and said sharply: "I won't lie to your boss about this kind of thing. This morning, when I saw the weapon that Encore appeared out of thin air, I thought it looked familiar, so I went to the town to look it up. Then I saw this." Saying that, Dogula took out a stack of newspapers from his arms and put them in front of Dadan. The photo of the girl with Zi Yitong is only marked next to that the girl has died in the Demon Slaying Order.

Dadan picked up the newspaper and read it carefully. A piece of paper fell lightly and floated to Ace's feet. Ace looked down for a while and picked it up. When he saw the content on it, his expression changed.

And Dadan also found something at this time, and exclaimed in surprise: "Huh? This is it?"

"What's the matter? Boss?" Dogula asked curiously.

"Look here." Dadan pointed to one of the photos and said, "This is very similar to the weapon that Encore summoned this morning. Trident? The matching weapon of the reincarnation eye? What is it??"

The other bandits also turned their heads to look at it. One bandit pointed to the photo and said, "Speaking of which, if you don't look at the girl's left eye and the blood on her face, she really looks exactly like Encore!!"

The other thieves also noticed this, and started talking about it...

At this time, Ace, who had been staring at the piece of paper, said lightly: "Perhaps, maybe she is Encore." After speaking, he handed the paper to Dadan, who took it over suspiciously, and saw that it was petrified. The cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground and he didn't notice it. The other thieves thought it was weird. When they took a look at the paper from the petrified Dadan's hand, their eyes popped out instantly: it was a reward letter for that girl, and the amount was... …

"1000 million Pele???? Just a 12-year-old kid?????" Dadan's House trembled three times in an instant.

Dogula sighed, stroked his forehead and said, "I said, read the newspaper carefully, the reward certificate was issued two years ago, when she was only ten years old..."

"Ten years old???" The thieves continued to gasp, and shouted dumbfounded.Dadan House trembled a few more times.

"What what?" Seeing them so excited, Luffy rushed up as soon as the wound was bandaged, looking here and there to find out what happened.

Suddenly, a bandit asked: "But, aren't Anke's eyes all purple? This girl's eyes are one red and the other purple." The other bandits nodded in agreement.

Dogula sighed again, feeling that he was a bit unable to communicate with them, but he still explained conscientiously: "Didn't the newspaper say that? That red eye has special abilities, and maybe it can easily change your pupils." What about color? And if you think about it carefully, one month after the execution of the Demon Slaughter Order in Beihai, Kapusang came here with Encore, who was seriously injured. Let's give her medicine or something, but her eyes suddenly healed a few days ago, isn't that weird? Coupled with the weapon in her hand this morning, Encore is undoubtedly the girl! That horrible Bloodthirsty Witch!!"

The thieves look at me and I look at you, with fear and confusion in their eyes, "But the witch is a person who kills without batting an eye, Anke is smiling happily now." The room fell into silence, so quiet that only With a breath, everyone was confused: "Enke, who is this mysterious girl?"

After a long time, the room was still silent, and a bandit hesitantly broke the silence: "Then, what should we do now? Give the encore to the navy?"

Although the other bandits thought it was a method, they all felt hesitation and sadness when they heard this method.

And Luffy, who knew what they were discussing, kept silent beside him, his expression of pursing his lips and lowering his eyelids was completely different from his previous carefree personality.

Ace has been watching his younger brother from the side, he knows that Luffy attaches great importance to the person he regards as a partner, and he also knows that Luffy will never hand over the encore to the navy.He covered his mouth with his hands and yawned, and began to doze off against the wall, thinking: He just needs to stop Luffy before he does something radical...

When he heard everyone discussing whether to hand over the encore to the navy, Luffy suddenly raised his head, walked towards the bandit holding the reward, grabbed the reward and tore it to pieces.The bandits looked at Luffy's actions in surprise, but they didn't say anything. After all, they also grew up watching Luffy, and knew his character well.And Ace, who was hitting a ton, opened one eye, looked at it, closed his eyes and continued to sleep...

Throwing the shredded paper on the ground, Luffy gritted his teeth and said, "It doesn't matter what this kind of thing is. Encore, it's just an encore!"

The thieves were silent, and then Dogula said slowly: "That being said, after all, that girl... Anke is a criminal wanted by the world government..."

Lu Fei lowered the brim of his hat to cover his eyes, and said flatly, "Enke, I cried. That day, when I went to her room, she cried and begged me not to look at her... Her eyes were full of despair..."

The living room fell silent again.Encore's crazy and desperate appearance this morning came to everyone's minds, and he quietly asked in his heart: "What happened to that child?"

At this time, Dadan, who had been silent for a long time, looked at the boy who seemed to have grown up all of a sudden, took a breath, picked up the cigarette that fell to the ground, and patted it in his mouth.Picking up the newspaper at hand, took a look, took out a lighter and lit it, everyone quietly watched the newspaper burn slowly, the blood-stained girl in the photo slowly dissipated in the warm flame...

The newspaper was slowly burning out, Dadan threw it on the ground and said loudly: "The witch has died in the slaying order, here is only Anke, a child like a doll!! Do you understand? Little ones ??"

Hearing this sentence, Luffy cracked a big smile like the other bandits, and nodded excitedly: "Yes! Dadan (boss)."

And Ace, who was dozing on the side, showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, opened his eyes and looked at Lu Fei's happy smile, and continued to sleep with his eyes squinted: I knew it would be like this!
Dadan watched Lu Fei's serious face turn into the bright smile of the past, smiled with satisfaction, then frowned and listened to the cheers of the whole room, and roared with a tiger's face: "Don't make noise!! Encore is still here!" It’s resting!! Everyone get out!!!”

......................................................

On the second night, Enke opened his eyes in a daze and sat up, frowning slightly and resting his aching head with his hands, some fragments flashed slowly in his mind, and finally fixed on Lu Fei's surprised face .

Anke's face paled in an instant, and the hand that was supporting his head slowly moved to his left eye, only to find that the blindfold was still on his face.Anke's hands trembled slightly. Although it was blurry, she still remembered that she didn't wear a blindfold before going to bed. Who was it? ? ?
Luffy's surprised face appeared in front of him again, Anke's bloodless lips were tightly pressed: Luffy...see...?Then someone else must...

At this moment, the door opened with a 'squeak', Dadan came in with medicine in one hand, she looked at Enke who was sitting up in surprise, then smiled: "Are you awake? You have been asleep for two days , Luffy has been asking you when you will wake up."

Seeing that Dadan was going to tell others, Enke stopped her, after all, she was not ready to face other people yet.Especially Luffy, "No need for Aunt Dadan, tell them tomorrow, I, now..."

Although Dadan is a man and woman, he still has the delicateness of a woman, especially with Ace and Luffy.Knowing what An Ke wanted to say, she continued considerately: "You want to rest, right? Drink the medicine first, and I'll tell those two stinky brats tomorrow."

An Ke looked at the so-called bowl of so-called medicine that was pitch black and exuded a strange smell, and took it expressionlessly and drank it.And Dadan opened his eyes wide in shock and asked: "Isn't this medicine bitter?? It makes me feel sick when I smell it!!"

After drinking the medicine calmly, Anke looked up and said, "It looks scary, but it's just a bowl of bitter water."

Dadan didn't quite believe what she said, so he stretched out his finger and dipped a little potion into his mouth, his expression was instantly blue and purple as if he had drunk poison, and he was dripping with cold sweat, and finally retched out uncontrollably,
Anke on the side looked suspiciously at Dadan's contorted face retching, and asked with concern: "Are you all right, Aunt Dadan? Is it so bad?"

Dadan already felt that her sense of taste was about to fail. She wiped away the tears she shed when she was retching, and asked Anke pantingly; "There are really such nasty things in the world. It's lucky that you can drink them. I'm going to drink some." It's water, or... vomit..."

Before he finished speaking, Dadan covered his mouth and staggered to leave.An Ke looked at her back, slowly covered his left eye with his left hand, hesitated for a moment and then called Dadan: "Aunt Dadan, you..." Before finishing speaking, An Ke closed his mouth and hesitated whether to continue explain.

Hearing that Anke had only spoken half of what he said, Dadan turned around suspiciously, but saw Anke's pale face covering his left eye, with hesitation and pain on his face.Dadan put down his hands, walked up to Anke and patted her on the head lovingly, saying, "Don't think too much, just stay here with peace of mind, no one will find it here!"

Anke's eyes were a little wet, she looked up at Dadan slightly, and said with a bit of tears: "Aunt Dadan..."

Dadan waved his hand, turned around smartly and said, "Go to rest early, that fellow Luffy will annoy you tomorrow!" Then he closed the door smoothly.Immediately there was a retching sound at the door.

Anke smiled slightly, wiped his eye sockets, and then tilted his head in doubt, thinking: "Is the medicine really so bad? I don't think it tastes like..."

At night, Anke still huddled into a ball and fell asleep unsteadily, panting in pain from time to time, and slowly sweating...

The handsome man in the dream smiled softly, and kept approaching Anke with an eyeball. Anke trembled and kept calling in a low voice: Don't come here...don't come here...

But the man was still unknown, and continued to approach, tightening his fingers more and more, and laughed coldly...

Encore screamed in dismay, summoned the trident and swung it forward vigorously, crying, "I told you not to come here..."

Anke panted continuously, slowly raised his head, his pupils shrank instantly: blood, blood everywhere...

Suddenly, Anke was pulled into the arms of a not-so-strong man, all the blood was blocking the man's back, and a boy's voice slowly sounded: "It's okay, Anke..."

Feeling more at ease, An Ke opened her big, lifeless eyes and asked softly, "Who are you..."

The man's arms tightened more and more, engulfing Encore's thin body into his arms, he said with a smile, "I'm Monkey? D? Luffy, I'm the man who is going to be One Piece!"

Consciousness gradually blurred, Anke listened to the farther and farther voices, smiled lightly, and said lightly: Idiot...

An Ke on the bed slowly relaxed her frowning brows, a very faint smile appeared on her face, and said softly: Idiot...

And Lu Fei next door sneezed violently, touched his nose vaguely, turned over, smacked his lips and continued to sleep...

The moonlight quietly shone on Anke's face, watching with relief that she had a dreamless night for the first time...
