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

"Mr. Sengoku, we have... eh? Zhan, Mr. Sengoku??"

Advancing at full speed, hurrying and hurrying was just as good as the navy cruise fleet that sailed into the military dock of a small town in the south of the North Sea in the early morning. The vice-admiral had not had time to ask his superiors about the next arrangements. He was wearing a coat of justice. The black-haired boss had already picked up the birdcage containing the paper crane and strode past him, leaving him behind without hesitation.

The adjutant quickly followed: "Mr. Warring States, Mr. Warring States! Where are you going?"

At this point, what could be so important that would make their usually steady general become so anxious...

"Mr. Warring States——" The deputy general chased while gesturing to the guards to follow. Their boss did not look back and chased in the direction pointed by the thousand paper cranes. He did not even let go of the arrangement. How could he at this time? I can let my boss run away alone like this! !

Lieutenant General: "Follow me all!!"

So, at a certain port in the southern part of the North Sea, the naval cruise fleet that had just docked hurriedly disembarked with a convoy of several hundred people, following the leading general and deputy general, following the direction pointed by the strange paper crane, without looking back. The ground plunged into the deep forest——

"...It hasn't stopped." Walking quickly in the dark forest without a trace of light, Warring States looked at the message paper crane in the cage that had been ramming into the cage trying to fly out since daytime, and he didn't know what to do in his heart. Why is there always a strange feeling - based on the frequency of the paper crane hitting the cage, it can be guessed that he is not far away from Irene, but... I always feel that things are not that simple.

The dark forest was filled with thick fog, and the cold wind howled by in the early morning. Warring States and his subordinates struggled to cross the forest. The moment they stepped out of the bushes, the paper crane in the cage suddenly went crazy. A self-destructive way to hit the cage like crazy!Warring States was shocked when he saw that the small pointed head of the paper crane had been knocked off by itself, and the pair of constantly flapping wings were in danger of being torn apart...

No, we can't let it self-destruct.

"...It should be around here." After thinking for a moment, Warring States simply opened the cage door - as soon as the cage door opened, the thousand paper cranes rushed out like a ray of light!Warring States followed closely behind, staring at the Paper Crane that was flapping its wings and flying in one direction so fast that he even used the Moon Step for fear of losing him!

Vice General: "Mr. Warring States Period!!" Why are you here again? ! !

The deputy general, who was left behind by his superior again, collapsed and led a large number of people to continue the pursuit - God, how urgent is it, Mr. Sengoku? ! !I have never seen you look so unreliable! !This chaotic situation is exactly the same as that of Vice Admiral Garp in the fleet next door! !

However, the lieutenant's complaints did not affect Warring States' active pursuit of his silly girlfriend whose current situation is unknown——

Soon!nearby! !

Without the cover of the thick forest vegetation, the cold moonlight shone on the flat ground. The admiral in the coat of justice stepped into the air and chased the paper crane that was glowing all over and trailing a long light tail, anxiously rushing to the common destination. The destination - the recipient of the message, the person who has disappeared from this world for 12 years!

Every step brings you closer to that person, and every breath heralds the countdown to meeting...

But for some reason, he felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.

And this uneasiness reached its highest point when the paper crane stopped flying without warning and plunged sharply towards the ground at a right angle——

"Are you here?!" Turning around and stepping to steady his momentum as he rushed down, the black-haired admiral stepped back and followed the plummeting Paper Crane to the ground.

However, where the paper crane landed, the person he was expecting did not appear.

"Da——" The tall figure landed on the flat land and made only a very small movement, which was enough to show the depth of the moon step skills of the person who came here.The night was broken by the cold moonlight. The eager pursuit made the black-haired admiral gasp slightly. He lowered his eyes and looked at the luminous paper crane, which gently flapped its wings around a person who fell on the ground. The little figure was spinning around, and from time to time it wanted to land on his tightly packed fist.

...One, a child?

Doubt and disappointment came to his mind at the same time, but there must be a reason why Qianzhihe would lead him to this child.

.........Sigh - he knew things wouldn't go so smoothly.

Warring States took a deep breath and stepped closer to the little figure lying face down on the ground.And just as he was about to squat down to check on the child, the little boy who fell to the ground in a miserable state let out a confused whimper and woke up faintly.

"W-My head... hurts so much..." The thin boy with no good land all over his body shivered and got up. His slightly curly blond hair was covered with all kinds of dust and grass blades, and the swollen spot on his forehead was... Lao Gao's swelling that was still bleeding must have been the reason why he was lying unconscious on the ground just now... The boy shook his head to wake himself up, and only then did he notice the pair of men's shoes stopped in front of him. leather shoes.

someone! ! !

"!!!" The blond boy was startled, and immediately turned around and started to run away——

"Hey!" Warring States was stunned, and quickly reached out to grab his collar, catching the thin and embarrassed little boy: "Wait a minute, don't be afraid! I won't hurt you-"

"Let, let me go!!" The little blond boy turned over in horror and pried off the big hand that had grabbed his clothes, trying hard to get free.

"Calm down... kid! Calm down!" Seeing the little guy's appearance, Zeng Guo could only stabilize his emotions first. He let go of the boy's collar and grabbed his arms to trap him. Then he squatted down so that he was as eye-level as possible, and his voice became gentle: "It's okay, I won't hurt you, don't be afraid."

"Hoo, ho, ho..." The little blond boy who was still caught after struggling for a while stared at the man in front of him with red bean paste eyes in panic - black hair, wearing a pair of round glasses, wearing formal clothes. , still wearing...

"Ah..." It's the coat of justice!

He is the navy!

"You, you shouldn't..."

"?"

An idea suddenly appeared in the little boy's mind. Ignoring the confused look on the black-haired officer's face, he eagerly stretched out his tightly clenched fist, raised his palm up in front of the black-haired officer's eyes, and spread his fingers——

Sengoku's eyes followed the boy's movements and moved to his palm.

In his palm, there was a bunch of hair tied by a small strip of familiar-looking champagne-colored fabric, and a small piece of... paper that kept moving in his direction!

"!!!" Warring States was startled and subconsciously moved to the side. Then the piece of paper turned towards him as his position changed. He moved in the opposite direction again, and the piece of paper still moved with him. direction.

At this point, it is basically certain...

Warring States: "This is... my life card?"

Rocinante: "You are Mr. Warring States!!"

Sengoku's question and Rosinandi's affirmation blurted out at the same time. The two looked at each other and saw the affirmative answer in the other's eyes.

Warring States frowned: "How could you..."

But before Warring States could fully express his question, the little blond boy who was in a state of embarrassment, with injuries from falls and cuts that could not make him cry a single tear, could not help but flatten his mouth, and big tears fell in his eyes in an instant. They gather in the middle and fall out continuously——

"Wu, uh, uh--" Little Rosinandi, who stumbled all the way and finally found the target person, sobbed, and burst into tears: "Wu, uh, uh-- Mr. Zhan, Mr. Warring States, ahhh--I , I found you - Wow -"

Warring States: "??!!!"

The boy's cries were pitiful and aggrieved. He sobbed loudly and stretched out his little hands to grab Seng Guo's sleeves, pulling him back and stumbling in one direction. He cried out of breath and hissed. Shouting: "Hurry up! Woo, burp - come with me quickly! It's too late -"

"Wait, wait, kid, be careful!" Seeing the little boy crying and dragging him away but not paying attention to the stone under his feet, and suddenly tripping, Warring States quickly reached out to catch him. Seeing that his little body was about to be thrown down, he helplessly grabbed the little boy who seemed to be in a hurry to take him somewhere for some reason, stood up in front of him, and said seriously: "Calm down first. Come down, don't be anxious, calm down...Who are you? Are you looking for me? Why? Where are you taking me?"

"I, I am Rosinandi, oh, oh, cough, cough, cough -" The little boy who was choking from crying coughed painfully, and the hair bundle he was holding in his hand accidentally slipped from his palm and fell to the ground. On the ground, Rosinandi quickly reached out to pick it up, but a ray of light fell down faster than him - the glowing paper crane flapped its wings and landed gently on the bundle of hair, but it seemed to have encountered something Question, it tilted its pointed little head in confusion, flapped its wings and flew up again, spinning in confused circles around the bundle of hair.

"...What's going on?" Warring States noticed this phenomenon. He picked up the hair, and repeatedly groped the smooth hair with his rough fingertips. The champagne-colored cloth used to tie the hair aroused his interest. Attention - this fabric looks familiar, where have you seen it before...

In addition, this paper crane has been hovering around this bunch of hair...ah, could this be——

Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. Warring States took the bundle of hair and asked the little boy who had stopped coughing: "Rosenandi, right? Do you know who this bundle of hair belongs to? Is it a man named——"

"It's Irene-san's hair." However, the little boy with blond hair revealed the answer faster than him. In the surprised look of Warring States' "Sure enough," Rosinandi tried hard to suppress the crying that kept coming, and said anxiously: "Mr. Sengoku is Irene-san's fiancé, right! Irene-san gave me your life card and her hair bundle, and asked me to come to you!"

"My fiancé...she actually said that." As soon as he murmured this sentence, Warring States knew that his focus was wrong, but he still couldn't help but silently blush at the base of his ears. He quickly made an embarrassed face and said seriously: "Yes, I'm Erin's...fiancé. Is she okay? Why did she ask you to come to me?"

It seemed that Irene was afraid of getting into some trouble... She must have known that he was looking for her through the paper crane, so she deliberately cut off her hair and let the child take it with her, but why did she let the child come to him alone?Could it be that she...

"Where is she now?!" The bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, and Zeng Guo's tone couldn't help but become irritable.

However, Rosinandi was more anxious than him. The little child stood under the night, sobbing heartbrokenly: "Uu, uh--Irene-san, Irene-san, she stayed alone to deal with the one who would become , Uh-huh, that uncle is so scary, he will turn into a strange flying dragon, Irene-san, what if she can’t beat her - Wow - "

"Turn into a strange flying dragon..." As soon as Warring States stopped describing this, his heart immediately thumped.

There is information that the three super powerful pirates from the former Locks Pirates will land in the North Sea country. According to the child's description, Irene is afraid that she will encounter...

"Kaido." Sengoku's expression became terrifyingly gloomy as the name blurted out. Rosinandi cried until she was out of breath, but she still remembered to hold on to his sleeve and not let go.

It was as if if he let go, the hard-won fire of hope would be extinguished.

Rosinandi tried hard to wipe the tears from his eyes, but the mist still kept coming out. He eagerly and panicked grabbed Sengoku's hand and pulled him in one direction, but after a long period of His young body was already exhausted from traveling through mountains and rivers, and instead of pulling Warring States forward, he fell back to the ground.

"Are you okay?" Zhan Guo quickly helped the child up. After knowing that the child was related to Irene, he subconsciously became more concerned about the child. When he saw Rosinandi's tattered clothes and injuries all over his body, Zhan Guo asked. He immediately took off his coat of justice and wrapped it up in the child. He stretched out his arms and held him in his arms: "Okay, okay, take a deep breath and calm down..."

The thick coat of justice protected him from the cold wind. The black-haired officer's broad chest gave little Rosinandi the most secure support in desperate need of comfort. The blond-haired boy felt the admiral's rhythmic gentle caress on his back. She clapped her hands, and the tense and panic thoughts were finally calmed down by the officer's soothing words.

Warring States: "It's okay, calm down..."

"Uuuuuuuuuah..." The panic, grievance, discomfort, fear and other emotions that had accumulated all day swept over him. Rosinandi nestled in the arms of the black-haired officer with tears in his eyes. In the hazy moment, he felt the feeling of The same warmth in Eileen's arms...

A reassuring...warm feeling...

"It's okay. Calm down. You found me. We'll go find Irene right away. Don't worry..." A low, magnetic voice gently spoke words of comfort. Through the coat of justice wrapped around the child, Warring States Patting Rosinandi's thin back, he calmed down the frightened child little by little.

"Yes, we need to go find Irene-san quickly..." Feeling of fatigue came up with the warmth. Rosinandi slowly relaxed his stiff body and hummed about the plan Irene-san told him. Come out: "The place where Aileen Sang sent me away is called 'Saar City', in that direction..." As he said, he stretched out his thin arm and pointed in the direction he ran all the way, and added: "If Ai If Linsang has left, she might go to Boras City according to her planned itinerary."

"'Saar' and 'Boras'..." Warring States thought about it for a moment, vaguely remembering that these two towns were in opposite directions. Just when he was about to think about which place to go to first——

click-

The pocket watch in his pocket made a faint beep on time. As zero o'clock arrived, the paper crane that had been swirling around the bundle of hair held by Warring States suddenly started to stir, as if it had sensed a new location. Yes, he immediately dropped the bundle of hair, quickly flapped his wings and flew into the air, and flew out in a new direction with a swipe!

"!!!" Warring States was startled, and immediately jumped up without hesitation, hugged Rosinandi and launched his moonwalk to catch up quickly.

Rosinandi was startled by the sudden liftoff: "Wow——"

"It's okay, don't be afraid." Warring States patted the back of his head and reassured him. His dark eyes stared closely at the paper crane that was tearing through the night with light and flying to the southeast. He said in a deep voice: "Follow it. We can find Eileen, don’t worry, we will get to her soon.”

Under the moonlight, Warring States' eyes were dark: "She will be fine..."

Whenever his silly dog ​​is missing a hair...

He must take off that kid Kaido's skin with his own hands.
