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

Chapter76

Confusion x dilemma x pursuit

——Love is confusing, love makes people make choices

Reason is saying that this is jumping off a building, and you will definitely die.

Love tells you that it doesn't matter

Maybe you can spread your wings and fly

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

Selustine opened the door, and the midday sun shone in the courtyard of Nuoda. What he saw was a quiet and peaceful scene.

The breeze of Malinfando welcomed her with a warm smell.

Maybe it’s the fragrance of flowers, or maybe it’s the smell of the sun

She walked over slowly, her fingertips touched the slightly cool air, and hung up the swing chain. Her eyes were full of nostalgia.

Sitting on the swing, leaning against the soft cushions, she slowly closed her eyes

Everything was quiet except for the sound of leaves touching each other in the wind and the crisp chirping of birds.

And she just leaned on the swing, swaying gently with the wind

Seleustin is waiting for someone, someone she wants to see again before leaving.

Today is the second day after Seleustin followed Luo to Marinefando. According to the agreement, the Heart Pirates will leave before evening.

So when she woke up from Sally's arms this morning, there was a vague sense of weariness in her heart.

These days of running around, these nightmares that can never be shaken off, when will they finally come to an end?

She suddenly felt tired, like a puppet involuntarily, forced to drift with the crowd, forced to stay away from the people she loved and the things she cherished.

Never find a place to stay

Selustine raised her hand and covered her heart, as if she was hoping to feel the vibrations from her heart.

But this is just an extravagant wish after all. Her heart has long been lost, leaving only the constantly running machinery and an empty chest.

She has become a little different. This is what Luo said to her when they reunited.

Seleustin gradually began to realize this, but was unable to change it.

Her feelings seemed to become blurred, and then seemed to return to clarity at a certain moment

Just like this, she closed her eyes, but she could still hear the voices of so many people calling her

There is her brother who is currently missing, Marco who said he would take her back to the Moby-Dick, Kuzan, Sally, Sakaski, and...

——"Seleu"

She opened her eyes, looking a little dazed

She knew who the person who called her just now was, and she always remembered his voice.

"Shanks..."

In the days since Seleustin woke up, she had not contacted him once

Even if she has left Germa, even if her injuries have long since healed, even if she gets back the phone bug

But the call was never dialed

why?

Selustine looked at the shade of trees above her head and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.

In the end, all that could be left was a sigh that was as low as an hallucination.

She was scared and powerless. She missed him, but she had never realized it so clearly at any time.

Freedom belongs to that sea and to him who is galloping on the sea

But it doesn’t belong to me, who has already lost my heartbeat

Sakaski stepped into the courtyard and immediately saw the man leaning on the swing.

She seemed to be in a daze, looking up at the sky, exposing a section of her snow-white and fragile neck. Her beautiful blue eyes looked straight into the distance, as if she was feeling regretful, and seemed to reveal an unspeakable sadness.

But he didn't move, just stood at the door, looking at her from a distance

A year later, Sakaski couldn't describe how he felt when he learned that she had appeared in Marineland again.

Does he miss her?The answer is yes

For a whole year, countless days and nights without her, he didn't want to stop working.

Whether he is sitting in the office processing paperwork or leading the fleet to suppress pirates, he always hopes that his head can be filled with these things.

Only in this way can he stop her from appearing in his mind again and again

Seleustin is such a special existence

No need to call him with that passionate voice, no need to stare at him with those clear blue eyes

Even if she doesn't do anything and just appears in his sight quietly like she is now

His mind will be occupied by her, and the world in his eyes will only be filled with the beguiling gold.

He clenched his fists unconsciously, stepped lightly, and slowly approached her.

By chance, she turned her head and looked towards him

As their eyes met, the world seemed to become silent, leaving only the clear heartbeat of Sakaski.

Her eyes seemed a little red, and there was no joy of reunion on her face. Instead, her expression was indifferent, as if she didn't know what expression to make.

"Sakaski"

She called his name, frowning slightly, but hesitated to speak.

Sakaski walked up to her, thought for a moment, raised his hand and tapped her frown lightly.

In the past, Seleustin's favorite habitual action was to tap Sakaski's slightly frowned eyebrows.

She was a little dazed, looking at the man in front of her. Those dark gray eyes seemed to be filled with a lot of words. When she looked at him again, it felt like it was just an illusion.

"Ideal and reality, if you have to move closer to one"

"Which one will you choose?"

She raised her head and asked the man standing against the light, staring closely into his eyes, not wanting to miss any of his expressions.

Sakaski lowered his head and stared at her for a long time, looking at her pale lips and melancholy eyebrows.

He spoke slowly and gave the answer.

As evening approached, Luo stood on the deck of the Polar Diver with his arms folded, looking at the town of Marinevando in the distance.

It was almost the agreed time to sail, but Seleustin never appeared.

Bebo walked up to him with his hands in his arms and followed his line of sight to the empty shore, feeling a little worried.

Will Seleustin...come back?

"She will come back"

Before Bebo opened his mouth to ask, Luo Bian answered him first, as if he had guessed what he was going to say.

Bebo turned his head to look at him and found that Luo's expression was very calm, showing no trace of worry or suspicion.

It's just ordinary, as if waiting for her figure to appear soon

This calm look made Bebo feel a lot more at ease. He nodded and accompanied Luo on the deck, waiting for the returning Seleustin.

After a moment, when the gorgeous blond hair came into view, Bebo breathed a sigh of relief and waved towards Seleustin.

Luo didn't ignore his relieved expression. He smiled as if he found it quite interesting, turned around and entered the house.

He didn't stay on the deck just to wait for her.

I just want to enjoy the sea breeze before the submarine goes into the sea.

Selustine saw the white bear waving towards her and showed a gentle smile.

But the smile didn't reach her eyes. What occupied her entire mind at this moment was clearly an overwhelming sadness.

She returned to the Polar Diver, touched Beibo who had been asking her where she had been the past two days, and walked straight towards the captain's cabin.

Knocked on the door, no one answered, Luo is not here

Realizing this, Seleustin did not have any special reaction. He still maintained a calm expression and turned around to go to Luo's dedicated research room.

Standing at the door, she was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, but the door in front of her suddenly opened from the inside.

"I have something to tell you"

Luo turned sideways and motioned to Seleustin to go inside first and talk in detail.

"I happen to be looking for you if I have something to do."

She found a chair and sat down. Luo leaned against the wall, flipping through a book in his hand, and said this to her without raising his head.

It seemed to be something more important, so Seleustin nodded, hummed, and waited for Luo to continue explaining the "thing" he was talking about.

A thin piece of paper was handed to Seleustin.

It's an analysis report on that light blue drug.

"The bad news is that the effects are almost irreversible."

Selustine looked at it expressionlessly, his eyes passing over the dense handwriting line by line, and the knuckles holding the report became white with force.

"The good news is, it's just almost."

Luo's voice awakened Selustine. She licked her dry lips and looked up at him.

"This kind of thing is difficult to absorb. It is just a backlog. If it can be neutralized or eliminated, its influence can be completely eliminated."

Selustine raised her head and stared at Luo who was speaking with red eyes, as if he was her only salvation at this moment.

And Luo walked up to her and looked into those blue eyes that seemed ready to cry in the next second.

Slowly, the corners of his mouth curved in the same arc as usual, unruly and casual.

It was as if what they were talking about at the moment was not something life-threatening, but rather what they were going to have for dinner.

He raised his tattooed palm and gently placed it on the top of her hair.

"do not worry"

Light gray was originally a cold, inorganic color, but when it appeared in Luo's eyes, it was so beautiful. With the light of the white woven lamp above her head, she felt extremely at ease.

"I'll find a solution"

His magnetic voice is very special. It penetrates into the ears and falls on the apex of the heart. It is sure and confident to dispel the confusion in Selustine's heart.

Selustine smiled, she held Luo's hand, but did not answer

On the contrary, she opened her mouth and made a request that made him stare blankly?

"I have something to tell you"

"Put me down at the Shampoo Islands. I've been bothered for so long, and it's time for me to leave."

Luo frowned and held her petite hand with his backhand.

"Although I don't know what you plan to do, but in your current state, I advise you to stay here."

They just met by chance, and agreeing to treat her is already a loss. There is no reason to stop her at this moment.

but…

"You are my patient and it is my responsibility to take care of you."

What's more, he just promised to find a solution, how could he just let her leave like this?

In that case, how does his promise count?

Luo thought like this, attributing the faint restlessness and dissatisfaction in his heart at this moment to his 'doctor-patient relationship' with Selustine, and stubbornly wanted to keep her.

Selustine lowered her eyelids, and the expression on her face softened in an instant.

"I have something I must do"

When she raised her head again, the twinkling light in those blue eyes actually made Luo feel hot.

Seleustin suddenly remembered Sakaski

This afternoon, after she asked such a question, a faint smile appeared on his lips

This was the first time Seleustin saw Sakaski's smiling face, so she was stunned, stretched out her palm and gently touched the corner of his mouth with her fingertips.

It’s like he wants to confirm whether that smile is his illusion or the beauty that really exists.

Sakaski held her hand and did not take back that rare smile.

He answered her, his voice still low but with a hoarse tenderness.

"I will choose the path I want to choose."

The destination of your heart is the destination at the end of the road

Whether it is an overly ideal ideal or a cold and cruel reality, she always has to make a choice.

The basis is her true inner desire

Seleustine's mind has never been so clear-headed. If she takes another step forward, she will fall into the abyss. She will fall straight into hell, and she will surely die.

But her heart told her

Go forward without fear

On the other side of the shore is what she has been searching for all her life.
