The Origin of All Pirates

Chapter 15 Dusty Memories
Looking at the scene in front of me, so familiar in memory.Tall buildings stand on both sides of the street, the endless stream of people, the cries of hawkers, the bargaining of shoppers, the honking of cars, everything is so familiar.

Walking and walking in an ordinary way, I actually saw the restaurant I had interviewed before. All the dust-laden memories of more than 20 years ago came to my mind, and the scenes were so familiar.

It used to be such an ordinary life, but it is a luxury for the ordinary people now. After all, he can never go back, and he can’t go back to that. He leaves early and returns late for 2000 yuan, endures insults from bosses, and bullies from colleagues.

He is already an admiral with the power to destroy the island.

When Pingfan was falling into memories, as a colleague who used to work with him, he came out to take out the trash, and saw Pingfan staring blankly at the door.

The difference said: "What are you doing standing here stupidly! If you don't go in and wait for the boss to come, you will be scolded again and your salary will be deducted."

Pingfan stared blankly at the young man named Li Tian in that distant memory.

"Pingfan, why are you in a daze, come in quickly", he couldn't help but pull Pingfan.

Pingfan originally wanted to resist, but he suddenly discovered that he had lost his powerful physique that he was so proud of.

"What the hell is going on, Pingfan followed Li Tian in a daze", went into the store and started working.

Li Tian was still as talkative as he remembered, talking about the past while working with ordinary people.

Suddenly Pingfan found that this kind of ordinary life can make people feel so warm.

"It's like being away from home for a long time and being tired outside, the memories of childhood will become so precious."

At noon, Li Tian took out the lunch box he brought and handed it to Pingfan, "Eat... I knew you didn't bring any food, this is for you."

Seeing this familiar scene again, an unspeakable sense of warmth welled up in his heart. It has been a long time since he traveled to the world of One Piece, that feeling. In that world, he has always had a feeling of being out of place.

Seeing Li Tian busy before and after, Pingfan smiled knowingly, Pingfan felt really good.

"It's off work, why isn't Pingfan leaving?" Seeing Pingfan who was still looking around, Li Tian asked strangely.

"It's nothing, I'm really glad to see you here, maybe this time we will never see each other again! Cherish brother."

"What are you talking about? I don't understand why. You won't go to work tomorrow. Well, go back quickly, or the gate of the school won't let you in if it's too late."

Pingfan left the restaurant and walked aimlessly on the road alone.

At this time, he was confused, why did he feel that everything was so unreal when he came back.

If it's true now, what are the previous 26 years in the One Piece world?

As night fell, Pingfan sat alone on a bench by the sea, thinking about life quietly.

An old man who was walking next to him also sat on a chair, looked at Pingfan who was in a daze and asked strangely: "Young man, is there something on your mind?"
"No, sir, I just don't know whether the current world is real or not!"
"Hehe...what is true and false, young man, true and false and false and true...what is real and what is illusory".I don't understand the old man, but the old man knows that it is true that there is a wife waiting for me at home.

"It doesn't matter whether it is true or false, just live well! Are you happy? If you are happy, then it is true"!
"Yes", there is no such thing as true or false, so what I care about is false!
"Thank you, uncle. When Pingfan turned to that uncle, he found that the uncle was gone."

Where are you going?It’s hard to come back, no matter it’s true or not, at least I can recall the past.

Pingfan walked straight back to school.

Everything in the school is still so familiar and strange.Walking on the small road leading to the dormitory, there are always men and women secretly dating there, everything is so youthful and ignorant!

When I returned to the dormitory, I found that my roommate hadn't come back yet, so I guess I've been fooling around again!He skillfully walked to his bed and lay down, feeling the familiar feeling coming from under his body, really wanting to go on like this forever!

But Pingfan knew that it was impossible at that time. Although he was not sure if this was the previous Earth time and space, he clearly remembered that he had already graduated.At this time, it seems that he has returned to before he graduated!

Seeing the familiar computer, the time displayed on it was May 2014, 5, and he clearly remembered that it was a day that he would never forget.Because the girlfriend who had been with him for 12 years proposed to break up with him the next day, Pingfan still fell into obsession for a while.

Time passed by every minute and every second, Pingfan didn't sleep all the time, because he didn't dare, he was afraid that everything would go back to the original track when he woke up.

During the period, his roommate came back secretly, took some things and left, Pingfan pretended not to know and did not expose it.

The next day, as promised, his girlfriend asked him to meet and proposed to break up with him.

Pingfan didn't object, just nodded in agreement, turned around and was about to leave.

"Stay ordinary for me, don't you want to know why? You just react like this, don't you feel nothing about me?"
"Oh... What kind of response do you want? Isn't it that a rich man promised you that as long as you are together, he will arrange a job for you after graduation"!Ordinary said with disdain.

"What's wrong with this, ordinary you can do it"?
"You can't, we all come from the countryside, you should understand, no one wants to go back to that place, I want to stay, I want to stay here, stay in the big city"!
"Yeah, I can't"!After finishing speaking, Pingfan left without looking back.Even though I have experienced it once, I still feel sad when I experience it again. Could this be called first love?
At this time, Pingfan thought of Rebecca.Compared with Rebecca, this first love is nothing worth mentioning.

On the second day, I took the train home.In order to find a job after graduating from ordinary time and space, he never went to see his parents. Now that he has the opportunity to come back to work, it doesn't matter what job he has.

As soon as he entered the house, Pingfan hugged his mother excitedly, "I'm so happy to see you again"!
"Son, what's wrong with you? Are you out of money? It doesn't matter. Mom has it. Don't worry about finding a job. Take your time and don't go out to suffer!"
"Don't worry! Mom, I will live a normal life." Looking at his mother who already had white hair, he didn't know what his parents would be like when he disappeared!
What Pingfan expected didn't happen. Although there were people close to him in this world, he knew clearly that this place was not the place he dreamed of.

Ordinary days in this world are still going on, maybe it is his subconscious wish, in the second year he came to this world, he met a person "Rebecca" who made him deeply guilty, of course he knew that It was just a resemblance, but he jumped on it without hesitation.
