One Piece Codex

Outside.

Kidd held the door handle tightly with complicated eyes.

[Is this... the truth behind Madders' dismissal? 】

Obviously, he heard everything about Mads' unjust case.

After settling Kira and the others, the hungry Kid rushed back without stopping, but as soon as he reached the door, he heard Aicilia's angry roar.

A bastard named Rodney framed his father, who was forced to resign from the Navy.

[Damn Celestial Dragons, useless navy...]

Kidd groaned in displeasure, and then heard Aicilia's voice saying she wanted to leave faintly from inside the door.Without hesitation, he took the lead in turning the door handle.

"I am back."

【Um? 】

Aicilia couldn't help but pause as she changed her shoes. She looked at the red-haired child at the door and said in surprise:

"If I guessed correctly, you must be Nanako's sister's second son. This beautiful red hair is exactly the same."

Kidd raised his eyebrows and said with some pride:

"Of course, my name is Kidd."

"Kid, you're back! Are you okay? Are you injured? Where are you injured?" Upon hearing the sound, Nanako hurried over and hugged Kidd, looking up and down, her eyes full of concern and anxiety.

Kidd turned his head slightly, hiding the bruised corner of his mouth on the other side, and said impatiently:

"Hey, how could I be injured? I just fell and soiled my clothes. Nanako, I'm hungry."

Aicilia next to her blinked, "Did something happen?"

"It's a small matter, but it has been resolved. You will hear the news soon," Mads came over at this time, "Also, forget about teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. You can go to the king to negotiate and see if you can arrange for someone to come. Field training for reserve forces.”

"So, you agreed? Major General?!" Aicilia asked unconvinced.

Mattes leaned against the wall and smiled: "Well, although I am only a small military commander of the Luluta Kingdom, I can't be too kind to one."

"That's great! Major General!" Icilia was so excited that she almost jumped up. "I will go to the king now to get her approval!"

She ran out the door happily and called back: "Sister Nanako, little Kid's stomach, left face, and ankle are all injured, but he'll be fine after a few days of rest."

"Hey! You guy! Who wants you to talk too much!" Kidd raised his fist and shouted.

However, Aicilia winked playfully, leaving only a wave behind Kidd.

After hearing this, Nanako hurriedly lifted Kid's shirt and found that there was indeed a small bruise on the side of his stomach.Looking at the injuries, her eyes immediately turned red, "Oh, Kidd...I'm sorry, Kidd, I'm going to get you medicine right now."

Kidd: "I told you it was just a fall! And the guy just said he was fine!"

He hurriedly took off his clothes. He didn't want to see Nanako looking worried, nor did he want Nanako to worry.

"Yes, Nanako, it's not a bad thing to let our little man suffer a little. Isn't Levi the same way?" Mads said in support.

"But Levi never lets himself get hurt!" Nanako glared at Mads angrily, got up and walked into the bedroom to get Kidd's medicine.

Mads spread his hands and gave Kidd a look that said, "I can't help you, it's up to you."

"Hey, Kidd, come on!"

Levi tilted his chair legs back and threw an apple at Kidd.

"Use this to pad your belly first. Nanako left the fish balls you like to eat in the kitchen. Also, Kidd, be gentle in the way you express your emotions. Sometimes you can be forgiven for not being so manly."

"Hey, that's long-winded." Kidd took a hard bite of the apple.

Looking at his brother's adorable stubborn expression, Levi couldn't help but smile.Kidd is also one of his favorites. Although he always speaks harshly, he has his own principles and bottom line, and he cherishes his family very much in his heart.

[Home, what a warm existence...] Levi couldn't help but sigh.

After so many years, the faces of his parents in the previous life had gradually become blurred, but as Mads and Nanako grew older, Levi was surprised to find that their faces gradually overlapped with those of his parents in the previous life. This was also It made Levi feel a lot less guilty.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s a butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou or Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly.

He was glad that he was not alone when he first arrived, and he was also glad that he was born in this home where there was no wind or rain. Especially in this war-torn world, it was even more valuable.

It was late at night, and the sky on Luluta Island was black and purple. The moon was sparse and the stars were sparse. Only three or two shining points hung on the vast curtain of the dark night.Dim light came from the windows of Mark's villa, and the silhouettes of the family swayed.

Inside the house, Kidd, who had been simply bandaged by Nanako, was eating rice. He was starving.

Nanako was spooning soup for him next to him, "Eat slowly, don't choke."

"Has everything been taken care of at the hospital?" Mads, who was sitting opposite, asked.

"Okay, the medicine and compensation have been paid," Kidd put down the bowl and wiped his mouth, then looked at Nanako and said loudly on purpose: "That guy named Kira is a nice guy. I made a friend today. ."

Like Levi when he was a child, Nanako was so worried about Kidd's lack of sociability that she once thought there was something wrong with her education.Now that she could hear that Kidd had made friends, Nanako breathed a sigh of relief and was also sincerely happy.She patted Kidd's head lovingly and said with a smile:

"Really? We Kidd are really great. We actually made friends five years earlier than my brother."

[Five years? 】

Kidd glanced at Levi opposite him strangely. He thought Lorna and his brother would get to know each other earlier.So, am I really better than my brother in this regard?

Thinking of this, Kidd raised his eyebrows at Levi proudly.

Levi: "..."

[Sure enough, he is still a child. 】

Levi: "Nanako, can you give me a haircut later?"

"Ah, cut your hair?" Nanako was stunned, wondering if she heard wrongly.

She looked at Levi's long hair that was tied up. She couldn't remember when he had it. She had the impression that it had been many years.

Whenever Levi goes out, he will deliberately untie his hair to cover half of his face. If he has a weed in his mouth, a long sword on his waist, and a heroic and tough face, let alone a rurouni swordsman. smell.

But, after having long hair for so many years, why should I just cut it?

Mads turned sideways and stared at Levi: "Are you ready to go to sea?"

"Well, we will go to sea tomorrow." Levi said calmly.

"Tomorrow? (Going to sea tomorrow?)"

Nanako and Kidd were surprised, the news was a bit unexpected.

quiet······

In the family, no one spoke first, and the candles burned quietly.

Mads stood up silently and took out a bottle of wine from the kitchen.The brown glass bottle had no label, and the cork, which was surrounded by large and small cracks, looked to be quite old.

Without prying off the cork, Mads cut open the mouth of the bottle with a hand knife.

The cuts were smooth and neat, the rich aroma of wine immediately overflowed, and the spicy intoxication filled the air.

Mads: "Levi, actually your spear skills reached a bottleneck a year ago. The reason why you waited until now was to spend more time with us, right?"

"Crash."

He poured the dark red wine into the cups. Four cups were arranged from the largest to the smallest.

Levi didn't explain, but smiled and took the largest glass of wine from Mads.

"Did you say goodbye to Lorna properly?" Mads placed the smallest wine glass in front of Kidd.

Levi: "I told her to wait for me at the port at five o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Well, that's fine." Mads nodded, walked over to Nanako and sat down, placing the remaining two glasses of wine in front of him.
