[One Piece] Hello, Single Dog Warring States Marshal!

"Mr. Warring States!! That paper crane——"

"!!!"

Originally thinking that there would be no more movement before midnight, the paper crane suddenly jumped up, flapped its wings violently and hit the cage in one direction, as if it was eager to get to the recipient of the letter, so much so that the cage was deformed!

"...Something's wrong." Warring States stood by the cage and observed the Qianzhi Crane who was suddenly shot with chicken blood. An unexpected premonition arose in his heart - it's not yet time for Irene's system to go offline, Qianzhi Crane. Why did the crane suddenly become...and so powerful? No matter how I looked at it, I felt...

...Is there something going on with Irene?

Afraid that the paper crane would really break through the cage and rush out, Warring States made a prompt decision and brought another iron cage to cover the outside of the deformed cage, and then immediately issued an order to adjust the course and move forward at full speed!

I'm almost there, I'm almost there! !

Unable to hold back his anxiety, Sengoku walked out of the command room and came to the deck. He looked away and saw the shadow of the target island in his sight. If he moved forward at full speed, he could land in as soon as one day!

The cold sea breeze blew open the black-haired officer's collar tied by his tie, and a chain with two rings loomed around his neck. Sengoku stuffed the chain blown out by the sea breeze back into his collar, shining with brilliant fire. The colorful transparent gem flashed past, and it was vaguely identifiable as the engagement ring inlaid with the Ulymus stone used for marriage proposal. .seven

As I get closer and closer to Eileen, for some reason, the indescribable anxiety in my heart becomes more and more intense...

It's like, if he doesn't speed up, he will be a step late.

…What exactly are you going through?Are you still safe?

It is said that time can dilute everything... But more than ten years have passed, and at the moment when he is about to touch her traces, Warring States suddenly realizes that the passage of time has not diluted the pain that has been suppressed deep in his heart. Thrilling, but because I have been searching for so long, it has become an obsession...

"...Don't let anything happen."

Looking at the coastline that was getting closer and closer, the Warring States general pursed his lips tightly, and a heavy sigh gradually drifted away with the roaring sea wind.

The paper crane in the command room was still banging against the cage crazily, hoping that it could guide the way to Irene's Warring States period, but he didn't expect that before he found the black-haired fiancée, there was another person waiting for him...

-

"Uh, uh, uh," the scenery on both sides of the rapid retreat has become the only thing accompanying him in these ten minutes. Wrapped in a protective shield, there are floating signs with the blond child flying fast in his hands. The bundle of hair that was still warm and the small piece of paper that kept moving in one direction, suppressed the cry and curled up into a ball, with tears on the face.

No, no, I can't cry...

Irene-san said that she wanted to find the naval admiral named 'Sengoku'.

If they find Mr. Sengoku, she will come to them immediately!

We must find Mr. 'Warring States'! !

Tell him that Irene-san is in danger!You have to hurry up and help! !

The little boy who was only five years old wiped away the tears on his face vigorously, bit his lower lip tremblingly, carefully spread his palms, and observed the direction in which the small piece of paper moved. Then he discovered that the force surrounding his rapid movement seemed It seems like it can tell the direction, which is exactly the same as the direction in which the piece of paper is moving.

Hurry up, hurry up!

Rosinandi lay anxiously in the protective cover, thinking about finding Sengoku quickly and taking him to rescue Irene-san!

Since Mr. Warring States is a general of the navy, he must be very strong!

Irene-san, don't worry!I will definitely find Mr. 'Warring States'! !

-

And just when the Warring States Period was about to land and Rosinandi was flying in the direction of the Warring States Period, in another town only a dozen kilometers away from where Kaido and I were fighting...

Boom-! ! !

The roar of thunderstorms that exploded more than ten kilometers away continued to sound, and its momentum was so huge that even another pirate fleet more than ten kilometers away, which had just finished replenishing supplies and planned to rest for the night before setting sail, also felt the thunderstorm. Earth-shattering force collides.

"Wow, why is there a thunderstorm in that direction? The weather here is obviously pretty good~" The little boy with droopy blond pineapple head threw the heavy wine barrel into the cabin with all his strength and clapped his hands. He raised his head and looked at the dark clouds visible to the naked eye in the distance, with the sound of thunderstorms constantly coming from it. He then reached out and tugged the sleeves of the blond man next to him who was sitting cross-legged and drinking heavily, and said curiously: "Dad , look over there, the sky has become so strange.”

"...Huh?" The man who was called daddy by the boy and who was sitting cross-legged had long blond wavy hair. His square face and protruding chin made his appearance very recognizable, but what made him most... What people notice immediately is the blond man's crescent-shaped white beard...

"Oh, um... that's not some weird weather." The blond man looked over after hearing the sound, and simply stood up with his knees up - good guy, he is already quite imposing even sitting down, with a crescent-shaped white beard. After the blond man stood up, his muscular and huge figure was fully revealed. He was more than two or three times taller than ordinary people. He was almost three meters tall by visual inspection. The group of little devils surrounding him looked like Like a kitten following its mother cat, they followed his words and looked towards the strange black cloud, all showing curious expressions.

"The power fluctuations with the fruit ability should be some ability user fighting." The man looked at it intently for a while, then touched his chin and muttered: "...Why does it feel familiar?"

"Familiar?" The little pineapple-headed boy who asked the question just now lay on the railing and stretched his neck to look at the black thunderstorm cloud where his father said that "the capable people are fighting", and asked doubtfully: "Could it be the old man?" Dad, are your friends? For example, that black-haired uncle who loves to laugh? "

"Roger? Well...it's not him. That kid only weighs a few pounds. He can gather clouds and summon thunder and lightning, ah..." Just as he denied it with a smile, the blond man suddenly thought of something, and he probably had an idea in his mind.

He can summon thunder and lightning, and makes a lot of noise when fighting... Among the people he knows, that boy seems to be the only one whose fruit ability is more consistent.

"It's that boy from Kaido... No wonder he's so familiar." The identity of the culprit who stirred up the storm was revealed. The blond man suddenly lost interest. He turned his eyes away and stopped paying attention to what was going on over there. Instead, he rushed a boat The half-grown children, big and small, returned to the cabin: "There's nothing new. It's getting dark soon. If you guys don't pack up quickly, you won't grow taller if you miss your bedtime."

"Hey - don't let me watch for a while! There seems to be something flying over there~" The little boy with the pineapple head clung to the railing and refused to let go, letting the other older child pull him and stay there shamelessly. The ground refused to move.

"That's enough, how old are you Marco?!" The older child pulled the clothes on the back of the pineapple-headed boy named Marco with both hands, trying to pull him off: "Aren't you afraid that you will become a Shorty? We will call you Shorty Marco from now on!"

"Gu la la la -" As the only adult on the boat, the blond man liked to watch the cute little carrots he picked up playing with each other. He laughed heartily and explained in a good mood: "Marco, the one you see is Kaido's phantom beast form, Azure Dragon. It is indeed a flying phantom beast."

"Bista, let go! Hey! It's not a dragon, I saw another thing flying~" Marco was completely unwilling to get down from the railing. Instead, he opened his eyes even more and stared at the sky over there. : "Well... it seems like, white wings? Is it a big bird?"

"A big bird with white wings?" The children, who had originally planned to listen to the captain and quickly pack up and get ready for bed, became curious after hearing this. They all crowded near Marco and stood on tiptoes to look around: "Dad said It’s Uncle Kaido’s blue dragon. How come it has such big white wings?! It really does have them!!”

"Huh?" The blond man who was originally not interested also became interested. He walked to the deck in two or three steps and looked at the thunderclouds that kept roaring with his 'sons'.

What a big white-winged bird. That boy Kaido originally said he was coming to have a drink with me, but if he didn’t come, forget it. Now, who did he start fighting with in the town... Couldn’t he be fighting with Lingling?I heard that Lingling will also land in this country for supplies in the next few days.

Alas, I suddenly became a little curious.

Unlike the children who could only rely on their naked eyes to observe, the blond man opened his eyes suddenly and released his powerful domineering energy in that direction. After a while, the fierce battle situation more than ten kilometers away unfolded in detail in front of him. ——

The conscious images transmitted back from the sights and sounds gradually constructed a specific image of that place in my mind: dark clouds covered with lightning points, a ferocious green dragon chasing something in the dark clouds, the collapse of the earth revealing underground rivers and vegetation deep underground. The buildings and buildings looked particularly dilapidated as if they had been corroded by something.In the dark thundercloud, a white light shadow flashed quickly around the huge green dragon, accompanied by various strange phenomena - flames burned in mid-air, and strong winds suddenly howled and rolled up the flames towards the dragon. Kaido's Azure Dragon form attacks, the blue lightning emitted by the Azure Dragon and another stream of bright yellow lightning attack each other, and...

"!!!" The blond man's pupils shrank suddenly, as if he couldn't believe what he saw——

The snow-white feathers of light emitted a holy shimmer, accompanied by violent power fluctuations, and unfolded boldly amidst the dangerous dense thunder and lightning. The black-haired woman with wings on her back stayed in mid-air with a law enforcement staff, directing the vision in the sky for her. Use it to hit that Qinglong on the head and face!

That person...why does it feel so familiar?

Before Whitebeard could match the figure of the man with the vague shadow in his memory, the little Bista next to him suddenly exclaimed: "Ah! He really has white wings... Wait, that's not a big one." Bird, no matter how you look at it, it looks like..."

"Yes, it's a person!! It's a person with wings!!!" Little Marco jumped up excitedly first, pointing at the figure in the sky that was flying closer and closer to their direction, either by chance or on purpose. The winged humanoid creature shouted: "Oh my God!! It's coming towards us!!"

"!!!" The blond man, who was silent in his thoughts, suddenly became excited and immediately looked in the direction of Marco's finger!

However, before everyone could react——

Ding……

The inexplicably familiar, cold and crisp tinkling sound rang in his ears, and the blond man subconsciously opened his arms...

brush-

The flying light feathers gradually dissipated behind the black-haired woman, and the black-haired woman who had just escaped from the battlefield lost consciousness the moment before the light feathers completely disappeared, carrying with them scattered light particles that had not completely dissipated. The ground fell from mid-air...

He fell into the blond man's just-opened arms.

"Oh my god!!!"

"O-Dad!! Caught it!!!"

"...Is that a person?"

"..." The blond man was also a little in disbelief. He half-knelt down holding this strange woman who 'fell from the sky', and the little gangsters around him also swarmed up and actively watched the black-haired woman who was caught by their father and fell into a coma.

The tattered champagne-colored dress barely covered the woman's curvaceous body. She was not petite, but she looked like a little kitten in the arms of the tall, muscular blond man. The man subconsciously raised his hand to gently push aside the cover. The messy black hair that marred the woman’s face…

Then, the black-haired woman in his memory who he had only met twice but who left a deep impression on him suddenly appeared in front of him again from the depths of his memory——

"Miss Erin...?"

The blond man hugged the unconscious woman and subconsciously let out a soft cry.

"Miss Irene?"

"Who?"

"Is he someone dad knows?"

"..." The chattering discussions among the little devils failed to attract his attention. Whitebeard carefully observed the woman's face, wondering why this person's appearance had not changed at all after 12 years... …?

Is it really true to the legend that 'witches are immortals who never age'?

Is Miss Irene really a witch? ?

However, just when he was about to carry her into the cabin and find her a place to rest, a burst of golden light suddenly emanated from the woman!It dodges all the children who are very close, causing a group of children to hold their eyes and cry out, "I'm blind, help."

The blond man also closed his eyes subconsciously, and when he opened his eyes again, the black-haired woman who was lying softly in his arms had disappeared!

Instead, it turned out to be a...

"...Huh??" The blond man held the back of the neck of the electric rat with golden fur, long pointed ears and a big lightning-shaped tail and raised it to his eyes, with questions all over his face:

"What the hell is this??"

What, become a living person? ?

Or is it that Miss Irene is not actually a human being? ? ?

Is this the monster showing its true form or something? ? ? ?

"..." After looking at the big yellow mouse, which was also gray-faced and unconscious, for a long time, the blond man touched his chin, and for some reason, he slowly raised the corners of his mouth——

Oh, kind of interesting.

Miss Irene...?
