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

Chapter73

Withdrawal x lip color x Shichibukai

——I would rather let all the stars in the sky fall

As long as I can keep the light in your eyes

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

Bebo raised his hand and knocked gently on the door. After getting the answer from a soft female voice in the room, he walked in.

Holding a cup of hot chocolate, he cautiously approached the figure sitting by the window. Her long blond hair was not tied up, but simply spread on her slightly thin back.

And she looked at the blue sea outside the glass, wondering what she was thinking

"Selu, let's have something to drink."

Selustine shifted her gaze from the endless deep sea and looked at Bebo who was speaking. There was a smile on her lips, but her white lips and red bloodshot eyes showed how haggard she was at this time.

"Thank you, Bebo"

She waved, and Bebo walked over and put the cup in his hand in front of her.

The next moment, Seleustin suddenly reached out and held his furry palm.

She raised her head and stared intently at Bebo, who was caught by her. There was no focus in the depths of her blue pupils.

Selustine seemed to be in a trance, her clenched palms and slightly frowning brows made her behavior at this time even more weird.

In those eyes, there are chaotic emotions that are constantly churning.

Bebo realized her change, quickly retracted his hand, and took a few steps back unconsciously, with an expression of indescribable horror on his face.

Selustine was stunned by his actions, and in an instant she realized what she had just done. She raised a hand and covered her eyes regretfully, her unhealthy-colored lips pursed into a straight line.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I'm not..."

Bebo was probably afraid of hurting her, so he quickly stepped forward and bowed to apologize, scrambling to explain.

"Where is Luo..."

Seleustin interrupted him. The face that was lowered and hidden behind the shadows was full of exhaustion.

"I'll call the captain right away"

After saying this, Bebo left here as if he was running away. His panicked footsteps brought a bitter smile to Seleustine's face, followed by unsuppressable pain.

Those strong feelings were rolling in her chest, like a tornado that swept up sand and gravel in the sky. The places it swept through were scarred and not even a blade of grass could grow.

Sadness, fear, pain, joy, excitement, hope

Everything in her mind was so confusing that it almost tortured her to the point of losing her mind.

Seleustin gritted her teeth, eager to vent these emotions that had no origin but could not be eliminated at all.

A blood-red blade appeared in front of her, and without a trace of hesitation, it cut a wound that penetrated her left arm.

Bright red blood dripped down the fingertips onto the floor, and soon there was a small pool of blood.

Weirdly, Seleustin's mood became calmer with the red that hit her eyes.

She stared at the long incision on her arm. When it was about to heal, she stretched out her right hand and pulled open the wound with her fingertips.

This pain, which almost paralyzed her entire arm, barely brought back her rationality, which was on the verge of losing control. The next moment, the rare clarity in her mind began to fade again.

So Seleustin did not hesitate and stretched out his hand again to prevent the wound from healing.

A long, strong hand with tattoos on its knuckles held her right hand stained with blood.

"enough"

Luo looked at the blood on the ground and stared at her without changing his expression.

Seleustin looked up at him, her red eyes making people feel that she was indescribably fragile.

He picked up the cup of hot chocolate that Bebo had brought, lowered his head and took a sip.

“Quite sweet”

Luo handed the cup to Selustine, who was still looking at him in a daze. There was no extra emotion in her eyes, as if she hadn't seen her self-harming over and over again in search of sobriety.

Seleustin's physique has improved in this year. In just two sentences, the wound on his left arm has healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The skin has returned to smooth and delicate shape, with only the blood stains left behind. It can also prove everything that just happened

She took the cup of chocolate, followed Luo's example, and took a sip obediently.

Sweet……

Selustine lowered her eyes and sipped the steaming hot chocolate, while Luo held her right hand beside her and did not let go for a moment.

In this silent calmness, she survived today's withdrawal reaction and regained her emotional stability.

A week has passed since Luo took her aboard the Polar Diver, and this is also the seventh day she has been trying to get rid of her drug dependence.

Generally speaking, for someone with a physique like hers that is far beyond ordinary people, it should be easy to get rid of the control of drugs, and the results can be seen in seven days.

But Selustine's reaction was not as others had guessed. On the contrary, her condition showed no signs of improvement over the past week. Instead, she would fall into emotional control every three days, just like she did just now.

This also shows that this protracted torture may have just begun.

Selustine swallowed the last mouthful of hot chocolate and put down the cup. She shook her right hand held by Luo, indicating that he could let go of her.

Luo blinked, as if he didn't receive her hint, and went his own way, pulling her to stand up and walking towards the hall.

Selustine staggered as he pulled her, followed him hastily, and looked at his back in confusion.

"We're almost there"

"Where?"

Seleustin originally wanted to leave when his condition improved, so these days, he really didn't ask where their destination was.

Luo stopped and turned his head to look at her, with an unruly smile in his light gray eyes.

"Malinfando"

Four simple syllables, but they fixed Seleustin in place.

Bebo saw that her hands were covered with blood. He resignedly brought a wet hot towel and wiped the blood stains on her arms.

Seleustin raised her hand obediently, her mind still reflecting on what Luo just said.

Isn't he a supernova?Did you take the initiative to come to Malinfando because you thought you had lived too long?

As if seeing her doubts, Luo raised his eyebrows at her with an interesting look on his face.

This expression was exactly the same as the cynical look he had on that island a week ago when he harvested the hearts of other pirates.

"The bargaining chips are ready and the conditions are almost negotiated. The next step is just to go through the motions."

"Want to come together?"

Selustine heard Luo's voice coming from her side, and she frowned in confusion.

"what are you going to do?"

"Krokdal and Moria were removed from the list a year ago, and now there are two seats in the Shichibukai."

"The timing is just right..."

The corners of Luo's mouth raised, then dropped slightly when he said the second half of the sentence. This seemed to indicate that he had other plans to ascend to the position of the Shichibukai.

Seleustin didn't have time to think too much. Now her mind was filled with the promise she made when she left Malinfando a year ago.

At that time, she promised that if she was out of danger, she would go back and be safe.

Now she happens to have followed Luo to Malinfando, so there is no reason not to meet them.

After thinking for a moment, she made a decision

"Since it is such an interesting event, wouldn't it be a pity not to participate?"

She raised her eyes to meet Luo, and her blue eyes regained a smile after the redness faded slightly.

Luo noticed her thoughts that lasted for a moment, but he didn't ask out loud. He just nodded and signaled the crew behind him to start preparations for surfacing.

Everyone got busy, except Luo and Selustine who still stayed where they were.

"that……"

Feeling the corner of his clothes being tugged, Luo turned his head and looked at Seleustin who was hesitant to speak.

She licked her dry lips, seeming a little embarrassed

"Are there any cosmetics on board?"

……what?

Even though his mental endurance is as strong as Luo, he was stunned for a long time after hearing this sentence.

Selustine lowered her head in embarrassment, with the tips of her red ears exposed from her golden hair.

"That's right, Malinfando... someone I know is here."

Only then did Luo understand what she meant. He looked helplessly at Seleustin, whose eyes were wandering around.

She feels that her image is too bad and she wants to dress up more beautifully.

"No matter what, we must cover this up."

As she said that, she raised her head and came closer to Luo, and pointed her index finger at her lips, which were white because of heart problems. The color of her lips was much lighter than her original light pink. Looking at it at a glance would only make people laugh. Feeling very lifeless

It's like the word "sick" is written on his face

Luo looked at the slightly wet lips that had been licked by her tongue, lowered his head and moved closer to her

"actually……"

Seleustin did not resist his approach, but still looked straight into those light gray eyes.

And Luo, he looked at the blue eyes so close at hand, like the sea that should have been clear, but was forced to be filled with fog.

Looking at the red blood streaks inside, one can only feel unbearable and pitiful

"After we get off the boat, I'll go shopping with you."

After hearing his words, Selustine smiled and nodded, her face was relaxed for a long time, and even that smile made people feel warm.

Luo raised his hand and rubbed the top of her hair to prevent her from seeing the unexplained emotions in his eyes.

In fact, he just wanted to say that if you want to make your lips rosy, you don’t necessarily need to use cosmetics.

A kiss is okay

The bright yellow submarine slowly surfaced, but the naval soldiers stationed on the shore were not panicked by the large skull logo printed on it.

A tall female marine is leading her men to wait on the shore of Marineland. Judging from the navy coat she is wearing and the position she is standing in, her military rank is not low.

They came to wait for the Heart Pirates, and Luo Ziran saw the very conspicuous peach-colored figure with a sword on his waist.

"The general is a replacement...it's quite generous."

He knew this woman, codenamed "Peach Rabbit", was a popular general candidate in recent years.

Bebo behind him was dragging a wooden box, which contained a hundred pirate hearts. Next to him, Pekin was lowering his head and counting the bounty orders belonging to those pirates. Looking at their actions, if Seleustin If you don't understand Luo's plan, you will really be a fool.

He wants to use these one hundred hearts in exchange for the position of the King's Seven Martial Arts

On the deck of the Polar Diver, a group of figures appeared. Standing at the front was the person the Navy was about to recruit, the "Surgeon of Death" who had been promised the position of Shichibukai, Trafalgar Law.

Taotu signaled the adjutant behind him to lead a few soldiers to take over the wooden box and the stack of reward orders.

But her own eyes were wandering around, locked on the blond figure behind Luo

That face is a bit familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before

Just as she was thinking about it, Luo and Selustine had already disembarked from the boat and were about to pass her by.

"Wait a minute, Trafalgar"

Peach Usagi stopped the two people who regarded her as nothing and were about to enter Malinfando.

"You can keep up"

Luo didn't look back, he replied to her nonchalantly, and pulled Seleustin to continue walking forward.

This attitude of going his own way made Taotu frown.

Even the active Shichibukai would not be so presumptuous in Marineland, where the navy headquarters is located.

This man has the rebelliousness of a pirate in his heart.

Thinking like this, Taotu still followed the footsteps of the two people.

Although this was a bit unethical, she was very curious as to why Trafalgar didn't go directly to the naval headquarters after arriving at Malinfando, but chose to enter the town instead.

What is he going to do?

Selustine looked helpless as she watched Luo holding her hand and walking forward with rapid strides. She didn't care at all about the peach rabbit following behind her step by step.

"It's okay not to be so anxious."

That's what she said. It wasn't a particularly urgent matter in the first place, so she couldn't afford to be so serious about it.

"Why don't you take a look around? This is the naval headquarters."

There was always an uninhibited and open smile on the corner of his mouth, which made Seleustin also laugh.

"it is good"

She responded, her long blond hair was illuminated by a light halo in the sun, making her face look smaller and more delicate.

It had been a long time since Luo had seen her smile without haze. He stared at her, not knowing what he was thinking.

But Taotu, who was behind the two of them, finally remembered who she was in this extremely familiar smiling face.

That was the girl who appeared in General Akainu's house a year ago

The name should be...

Celeustine
