Don’t think about the past anymore, don’t care about the boundary between life and death

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

Shanks carried the unconscious Seleu back to the Red Voss

After sending the blonde girl, who was still trembling slightly even though she fainted, into the medical room, Shanks leaned against the door with his arms folded.

The two men who kidnapped Seliu were already dead. One had a big hole in his heart, while the other had strangely no wounds at all on his body. Only the frightened expression on his face indicated what he might have seen before he died. scary stuff

Waiting for Beckman to come out, Shanks stood up straight

“No trauma”

Beckman said this, but his face was not relaxed.

The implication is that the internal injuries are serious

"The blood vessels all over her body seem to have been torn, and her organs are also showing signs of being broken. The problem is that such a serious internal injury should result in a lot of bleeding, but Seleu..."

Shanks understood what Beckman hadn't finished. Seleu's body was very clean, with no bruises or bloodstains at all. Even the white dress was only stained with dust.

He thought of the red blade that retracted into Seliu's body like liquid when she was unconscious, and he secretly had a suspicion in his heart.

Seleu opened his eyes in the middle of the night

She sat on the bed, hugged her knees tightly, and lowered her head

How could she forget, mother and brother, and the name Vinsmoke Renee?

She was transformed by her father for the first time when she was four years old. Researchers inserted needles into her little body, and she couldn't help but cry out in pain.

As a result, I got a black blindfold.

After that, she slept in the training cabin every night, and the opportunities to see her brother and mother became less and less.

She only eats nutrient solution and meat. Her father said that meat can provide her body with more energy.

After my brother found out, he didn't say anything. A few days later, he brought himself a plate of dark brown fried rice.

To be honest, the taste was really unflattering, but she still ate the food her brother secretly prepared for her.

Seliu laughed out loud thinking of this. That silly brother sneaked into the kitchen for several days in a row. He really thought that she didn't know that he made that plate of fried rice with an indescribable taste.

Although the process of undergoing transformation was painful, she later gained the ability to control her own blood. As a result, her father's attitude towards her became better and better, and her brothers no longer bullied her brother as recklessly as before.

Until one day when I was eight years old

That was originally a very happy day, because she woke up in her mother's arms after a long absence.

"Renee, wake up."

"It's already dawn"

Her mother hugged her, her pale face unable to conceal her illness

She looked at her mother's blue eyes, which were the same as hers, and leaned forward to gently rub her mother's hand, which was so thin that it seemed like there was only a skeleton left.

Mom smiled and said she wanted to go out for a walk

She called her brother, and together they pushed her mother's wheelchair to the beach.

The mother looked at the sea with a smile, holding her two most beloved children with her left and right hands respectively.

"Sanji, Renee, the sea is free."

"One day, you will meet an extremely gentle person on the sea."

"Let's make a promise with mom. When that time comes, we must hold on to our own happiness."

Mom kissed the tips of their noses. This is a custom in Mom’s hometown and represents love and blessings.

Then he held them in his arms and gently closed his eyes

Never woke up again

She suddenly wanted to take another look at the sea she had seen with her mother

So she opened the door and walked to the railing. The wind picked up her skirt and long hair.

Seleu covered his eyes with his hands and cried silently.

Shortly after my mother passed away, my brother also died.

"It's really sad that something unexpected happened. The six of us were supposed to bear the name of [Gelma] and become warriors together, but I lost a promising son."

She still remembered that at her brother's funeral, her father, who had always been cold and fierce, said this eulogy in tears, as if Sanji was really the son he longed for and loved most.

how ridiculous

She hid behind the stone pillars with her four remaining brothers and sisters, looking at the large black and white photo of Sanji hanging on the gray city wall, the expression on her face was blank.

"Is Sanji really dead?"

"Who knows, that kind of guy doesn't care what happens."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"

Amidst the sneers of the brothers beside her, the string in her heart completely broke.

How did mother die?How did your brother die?

She didn't know it at all, but she lost two of her loves in just half a month.

what to do then

She remembered what her mother said and decided to leave alone and head to the sea——

This is the end of the memory, but it is sad enough for Seliu

She fell to the ground, holding onto the railing tightly with one hand and covering her eyes with the other.

She thought that as long as she endured and obeyed, her brother and mother would be safe, and the three of them could be together forever as she and her brother had agreed.

Suddenly he was covered with a large black robe

She turned around with sobs. In the dark night, the person in front of her was not real, but the red hair was still vivid.

She desperately resisted the desire to cry, but she heard him sigh softly.

A warm big hand pressed her into his arms

Suddenly being surrounded by scorching body temperature in the cold sea breeze, the warmth that hit his face made Seliu unable to hold back and burst into tears.

Shanks held the crying girl in his arms, letting her tightly hold on to his clothes, and hugged her tighter to his arms.

A little light suddenly appeared on the distant horizon. It was night and ushered in the rising sun.

The spacious hall was silent for a while

Everyone listened in silence to Seliu's past.

Seliu finished the story calmly, picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

Shanks lowered his head and listened silently, clenching his fist several times and then unclenching it.

"Gelma should still be in Beihai now."

Beckman said

Shanks looked at Seleu. The blond girl looked down at the ground, making it difficult to understand the emotions written in those eyes.

"What about Germa? She has nothing to do with me since she was eight years old. I have never been even remotely attached to that place."

Seliu suddenly remembered his mother's gentle smile

"Besides, as my mother said, I have already met gentle people on the sea."

Seliu looked at her friends sitting around her, as if she didn't want to mention the past anymore.

“Everyone will always have a past, but it’s okay not to mention the past.”

Jesus stretched out his hand to pour himself a glass of water, raised the glass and drank it in one gulp

Seleu meets Shanks' eyes

"It's really not important anymore. Anyway, there are more important things to do now."

Seliu raised his hand, and a red bloody whip emerged from his wrist.

The whip rolled up the kettle nimbly like a water snake, poured a glass of water lightly, and handed the cup to Shanks.

Shanks took the water glass and looked at the blood whip stagnant in the air.

Although he had seen this wonderful ability before, Shanks couldn't help but be surprised.

This is the ability Seleu gained through human body modification.

Beckman suddenly remembered her previous serious internal injuries and seemed to suddenly find the answer. He frowned slightly.

"Are there any side effects?"

Se Liu withdrew his blood whip, his eyes averted slightly, and he straightened his body.

"Other than a little pain, it's a very useful ability."

"Indeed, I can attack and defend, and I can even hand over objects if I have nothing to do."

Lucky immediately said with a wink, probably teasing her about showing off her abilities just now and pouring a glass of water for Shanks.

"More than these"

Seliu raised a curly eyebrow and looked at him

"Raki-san, please cooperate."

"Huh? What to cooperate with?"

Lucky blinked, not knowing what was going on.

“Just don’t do anything”

Seliu smiled and stared into Lucky's eyes.

The blue eyes seemed to light up slightly in a trance.

Then there was a clang, and Lucky's fat body fell off the chair.

Jesus Bu, who was closest to him, quickly stepped forward to check on him. When he turned Lucky over, he saw the fat man smashing his mouth and snoring slightly. It turned out that he was asleep and seemed to have done something. Sweet dreams.

Seliu smiled evilly and leaned back slightly, looking very satisfied.

Jesus Bu tugged at Lucky in disgust. Seeing how soundly he slept, he sighed and prepared to send him back to his room.

As soon as he lifted him up, he heard the fat man who was snoring louder mutter something.

"Give me ten more chicken legs!"

The sound was really very clear, without any ambiguity at all.

"puff-"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"

Others couldn't help laughing after hearing this sound.

The tense atmosphere in the room finally eased, and Seliu also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"What did you make him dream about?"

Shanks asked curiously

"Probably sit in the restaurant and eat a lot."

Oh, that's such a sweet dream

"This ability is actually not very useful. Well...but whoever wants to have a sweet dream in the future can come to me."

Seliu tilted his head and said without interest.

"Is the medium of ability the eye contact?"

"It's quite useful if you use it to distract the opponent during a battle."

"How about trying to control the content of dreams and have some nightmares, such as being surrounded by fragrant fruits or something?"

Xiangxiangguo is a green-yellow fruit with a prickly hard shell and smelly flesh.

Listening to a group of people talking about developing her fruit ability, Seliu felt a little relaxed.

"I have been worried before that a weak existence like me would bring trouble to everyone."

She paused and smiled contentedly

"It's good now. I don't have to be protected by you all the time. Now I can come in handy and help everyone."

She knew that there were many doubts about her body, her memory was incomplete, and she didn't have much strength. She was really a person who was slow in writing and a big trouble in reading.

However, Shanks and the others still accepted him, tolerated her attempts to seek death from time to time, and did not care about her weakness.

Now she can finally do it without holding Shanks and the others back.

"What are you talking about?"

Shanks rubbed her head dumbfounded

"No one has ever minded that kind of thing. Whether you are strong or weak, you are our partner. Protecting you is a matter of course."

Seleu thought, what mother said is right.

There are really such gentle people on the sea

If this is a dream, please let me sleep a little longer

It might as well be that I stay trapped in this dream for the rest of my life.
