[ONE PIECE] The daily life of Shura field in four eyes

Chapter18

Dream - the occasion of death

——I would like to be the tree you pass by and the bridge you walk on

Be the wind that kisses your cheek, the vegetation that accompanies your aging

I would like to become a dead thing without ideals

As long as it appears in your life and makes you stop for a moment

--------------------------------

Everyone's hearts tightened when they saw Ace's life card starting to burn.

Marco pinched the phone bug with black beard and looked very ugly.

This phone bug will call at a fixed time every three days. It's still the same man. Every time he doesn't say anything else, he just says "She's still alive."

This made Marco more and more irritable, and he almost wanted to leave the phone bug behind and catch up with Ace to capture Blackbeard.

But these few words in each call tied him down. He was afraid that if he chased him out, he would never hear these words again.

Yesterday evening, Ace's life card burned without warning, and the meaning was self-evident.

The atmosphere on the ship was extremely quiet at that time, and everyone was depressed.

Because today is the day agreed upon to exchange hostages with fifteen New World islands.

Marco contacted the 43 pirate groups under his father in advance and asked them to station themselves on the islands scheduled for exchange. Once Blackbeard betrayed him, he would do anything to make them unable to eat.

The transaction took place in the New World waters not far from their original location, near an island owned by Blackbeard.

That island turned out to be ownerless. It seems that Blackbeard's power is expanding very quickly.

The Moby Dick set off early and headed towards the agreed location without concealing its movements, alerting the navy who had been monitoring them.

At noon, a giant raft suddenly appeared on the distant sea level

The raft was made up of several large trees that were entangled and fixed. There were guns on both sides of the raft, and there was a large mast in the middle with the pirate group flag and three sails hanging on it.

This is Blackbeard's ship

The crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates stood on the deck, all staring unkindly at the oncoming ship.

Behind them are the remaining fifteen division captains except Ace.

When it was 50 meters away, the ship suddenly stopped moving forward, and Blackbeard's figure appeared on the deck.

Marco frowned secretly, this distance is wrong, too far

He looked at the ship of the Blackbeard Pirates from a distance, then jumped into the air, turned into a phoenix with blue flames all over its body, and flew to the sea in front of Moby Dick.

"Where are Seryu and Ace! Tikki!"

He shouted in the direction of Blackbeard

Blackbeard suddenly burst into laughter. Amid his manic laughter, a man wearing a V-neck shirt, a cane on his arm, and a black top hat suddenly appeared behind him, holding a blond woman in his arms.

The woman's long bangs covered her eyes and she was motionless. She was wearing a blood-stained and tattered dress.

Surprisingly, it was Seleustin who had been missing for half a month.

Blackbeard looked at him and motioned for him to put the person on the ground.

A weird smile suddenly appeared on the corner of the man's mouth. He raised his hands high and stretched the person in his arms towards Marco, then suddenly let go of his hands.

Marco watched Seleu being thrown to the ground like a rag doll. When he landed, his arms bounced weakly on the ground.

"Oh, I missed it"

He heard the man say this. The voice and tone sounded so familiar. It was clearly the voice he heard when he answered the phone all the time.

"But it's really strong, your woman's body"

The man grabbed Seleu's long, dull golden hair and forcibly lifted her head. A pale face that seemed to be about to die in the next second appeared in front of Marco.

——"No matter how you do it, it won't break."

Marco felt his breathing stop

"Titch!!!"

He roared and rushed towards Blackbeard, but was forced to stop in place the next second, because Blackbeard grabbed the back of Seleustin's neck and slowly lifted her in front of him.

Blackbeard lifted Seleustin's thin body and made her face Marco, and then slowly moved towards her long golden hair.

"What a beautiful face, so blessed, Captain Marco"

He grabbed Seleustin's chin, stuck out his tongue and licked the side of her face, which was as pale and weak as a piece of paper.

"Jie hahahahaha"

After saying that, he laughed, grabbed Selustine and threw it towards the sea

Marco looked at his girl with her head hanging down. Her blond hair, which was no longer brilliant, drew an arc in the air and was about to fall into the sea.

He swooped over and caught Seleustin at the last moment when she was about to fall into the sea.

He held his lover, who was breathing lightly in his arms as if he didn't exist, gritted his teeth and flew back to the Moby Dick.

Blackbeard over there was still laughing, and the nasty man behind him suddenly grew wings on his back, and slowly took off, flying towards Moby Dick.

The man did not fall to the deck, but just stayed in the air, threw two things at the people below, and then left an inexplicable "please enjoy it" and left again.

Blackbeard's ship also sailed away from the direction it came from, and it seemed that he did not intend to make the deal as planned.

Whitebeard wanted to stop them from retreating and stretched out his hand, but the Blackbeard Pirates took advantage of the distance and left first.

Halta picked up the two items, which were a newspaper and a video phone bug.

He opened the newspaper, and the big headline shocked him and opened his eyes wide.

"Ace...was captured by the navy..."

The large fonts on the newspaper were extremely eye-catching, and on the front page it read: "Blackbeard" Marshall D. Teach captured the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates, "Fire Fist" Portcas D. Si, in exchange for the position of King Shichibukai

He put down the newspaper, tightened the image phone bug in his hand, and looked at Marco, whose arms were still burning with flames.

Marco was holding the motionless Seleucid, using his "Regenerative Flame" to treat Seleucid's failing body.

After a while, the golden eyelashes of the girl in his arms trembled slightly, and then she opened her eyes.

Those eyes were not as bright and clear as before, instead they were a little cloudy.

"M...erko..."

The only thing that could be heard on the silent deck was Seleu's weak voice.

"I am here"

Marco's eyes suddenly turned red. He hugged his little girl tightly and gently rubbed his cheek against his favorite blond hair.

Seliu raised her hand and slowly touched his cheek.

The fingertips were cold, as if they were afraid of hurting him, and they gently moved from his eyebrows to his lips.

"I really want to...see you"

Only then did Marco realize that Seleu's eyes were unfocused. He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her, but received no response.

Halta covered his mouth next to him, and big tears fell from his eyes.

"Seleu..."

Marco sniffed and tried not to let his tears fall.

He gently came to Seleu's cheek and pressed a soft kiss on her eyes.

Seliu's eyes suddenly filled with tears.

She weakly raised her arms and placed them on her belly

There was a knife mark lying across the clothes in that area, and there was a large area of ​​dried blood, as if someone had tried hard to open her belly.

"I'm sorry...Marco"

"I couldn't keep him"

Marco tightened his arms and pressed his cheek against Seleu's forehead.

The petite body in her arms was shaking constantly, and her low sobs were heart-wrenching to the ears of others.

A tear fell from the corner of his eye

"It's okay. Stop talking. I'll take you to treatment first, okay?"

Selustine cried intermittently, her declining body could no longer withstand such large emotional fluctuations.

"It's my fault, I didn't protect you"

Marco kissed her forehead gently, and her clothes were soaked with the tears of the lover in his arms.

Seleustin was close to his chest, feeling the familiar body temperature and listening to his heartbeat

"Marco"

He heard her call his name

"It's so nice to meet you"

Seleustin put her hand next to his cheek, as if tracing his appearance

"But, it's not enough"

"I still have so many places I want to go with you, so many scenery I want to see with you."

"I also want to cook a meal and sew a piece of clothing for you."

"I still want to dance with you in the sound of the waves like before."

"I still think that when the years pass and you can no longer walk, I will become a wrinkled old woman and push you for a walk on the beach."

"I also want to give you two children, not too many, just one boy and one girl."

"When the time comes, you run around with your son every day, and I will hold my daughter and watch you and your son."

She seemed to know that her life had come to an end, but she still had so much unwillingness and so many unfulfilled wishes.

"I don't want to die...I haven't been with you enough yet."

She cried, tears falling from the corners of her eyes to her pale lips

"I haven't officially married you yet, and I haven't put on a wedding dress for you yet."

"I haven't even had time to watch you grow old."

"Marco..."

Marco had already burst into tears. He could only press the forehead of the blond girl in his arms tightly.

his girl

Celeustine

"Marco"

She's calling her name

"Well, I'm here"

"Marco..."

"I am here"

"Marco..."

"I am here"

The voice was getting softer and softer, and she just kept calling his name stubbornly over and over again.

"You said... after I die... can I still see our little angel..."

He cried out in pain and hugged his little girl tightly

The person in his arms could not wait for his answer

Breathing stopped

The pale fingertips stroking his cheeks hung down feebly.

Marco took her cold hand and put it on his heart

He planted a kiss on Seleustin's forehead, but never dared to look at her closed eyes.

He was afraid that he would never see his favorite blue color again.

"Seleu?"

He gently called her name

"........."

The cold body in his arms will no longer respond sweetly to him

He held Seleustin's right hand, with a silver-white ring on the ring finger.

He gently kissed the thin knuckles

Then he lowered his head, filled with tears, and kissed the cold lips of the blond lover in his arms.

He still remembers the day he proposed, it was very hasty.

It was a rainy day and the two of them were on their way out for fun

The little girl wore a white dress that day. Marco asked her why she liked this style of dress so much, but she blinked slyly and did not answer his question.

Later he found out, because the first piece of clothing he bought for the little girl was a pure white dress?

They hid in a small pavilion in the forest to take shelter from the rain. He remembered that Selustine hurriedly dragged him into the pavilion, then came up to him and exchanged a passionate and passionate kiss with him.

Against the misty background, his girl is the purest and hottest color in the world.

He still remembered her gorgeous cheeks after the kiss, her blue eyes that became moist, and when she stared at him, it even made him feel like he was drowning in this blue ocean, her pink ear tips, and her moist and sweet lips. lip

His girl has always been so beautiful, so beautiful that it makes him want to stay with her for the rest of his life.

forever

The sky has cleared up, and there is a smell of fresh grass in the mountains.

Seleustin was busy in a flower field, saying she wanted to find the most beautiful flower.

He stood aside and looked at her intently. No matter how many colorful flowers she wore, they couldn't occupy even the slightest place in his eyes.

His heart only follows that one person. From the past to the future, this heart will not hold a second person besides his girl.

Finally, Seliu seemed to have found it. She picked up a blue flower, which was very similar to the color of the flames that ignited when he used his ability.

Sure enough, the little girl held the flower in her mouth, walked through the sea of ​​flowers, and walked to him

Just like that, I held a delicate flower between my lips and gave him a gentle kiss.

Marco hugged her waist tightly, and during the gradually passionate kiss, the flower fell at some point.

After a long time, he let go of the pink-faced little girl who was panting slightly in his arms.

He heard his own gentle but firm voice

——"Seleu, marry me"
