"That's it! Did she actually have such an experience?" After listening to Zoro's words, everyone was amazed at what this girl had experienced.

"But Zoro, how did you know it was her? You didn't even see her face, and you also said that there were no survivors on that ship." Usopp asked.

Zoro rubbed his wrist, "She said that this is the mark of her soul. Unless her soul disappears from this world, this mark will not disappear."

"Si Guoyi, who is she?" Luffy asked excitedly.

"Actually, I don't know much about it. Every time I ask her, she just says that she comes from a far away place and is a wizard. Her hometown is a very beautiful place. Every time she talks about her hometown, she has a very sad expression on her face. Happy face."

"Yoshi, our new partner is a wizard!!! How interesting!"

"Hey, Luffy, it seems I have rejected you." Sanji slowly blew out a smoke ring.

"I refuse her refusal! I must let her get on my ship!" Luffy crossed his arms and said in a serious tone.

"...It happens again, you bastard is still as willful as ever." Sanji shook his head helplessly.

While there was a chattering meeting on the deck, Anelia woke up in the room.

My body still feels uncomfortable, but my magic power has recovered somewhat.She sat up with difficulty and raised her hand to cast a healing spell on herself.

【Sea of ​​Healing】

Sure enough, the magic power was not enough and the healing effect was minimal.She reached out and touched her face, but the mask was still there.

Nami, who was outside the door, heard the noise, opened the door and walked in, then locked the door behind her.

"You're awake, do you feel okay?" Nami asked with a smile.

Anelia raised her eyes and saw that Nami's short orange hair was dazzling under the light, with a warm smile on her face and eyes full of concern.

"You are beautiful, Nami." Anelia said softly.

"Ah, no matter where you are, haha, you are also very..."

Nami waved her hands with an embarrassed look on her face, but suddenly she seemed to think of something again, and she swallowed back the words she was about to say.

"Um..I mean..I mean.."

Looking at Nami's embarrassed face, she said calmly: "You saw it, right?"

"my face."

Nami was so embarrassed that she wanted to fight with her head.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I just saw you fainted and wanted to give you a simple treatment... You need to be checked..."

"It's ok."

"Oh, that's good, no, I mean, it doesn't matter, even if your face, um... no, no, I mean..."

"Oh~ I don't know what I'm talking about anymore." Nami lowered her head dejectedly.

"Hehehe, you are so cute." Anelia said with a slight smile.

Nami suddenly raised her head, looking troubled. "When you were unconscious, Zoro wanted to come in and see you."

"Don't worry, I didn't let him in. I said you can't let him in unless you wake up and agree..."

Anelia's eyes narrowed, "Thank you, Nami. Girls are indeed the most beautiful creatures in the world."

"Ah, no, no, you praise me too much." Nami blushed shyly.I sighed in my heart, Annelia is such a nice person~

"So, do you want to meet him?" Nami asked cautiously.

Anelia tilted her head and thought for a while, then asked: "What do you think is the possibility of me running away secretly without being discovered by him in my current state?"

"Eh?/?"

Nami looked at her in surprise. Her expression was very serious, not joking at all.

"Huh?" Anelia tilted her head and blinked. It was originally a very cute action, but the green ghost fang mask on her face was a bit scary. This voice matched this face, and the atmosphere was a bit weird.

"Um... I think the possibility is 0." Nami answered her seriously.

"He stayed outside as long as you were unconscious. He cares about you very much, Anelia."

long silence.

Nami stopped talking and just sat quietly by the bed with her.

"Let him in, Nami." The voice was trembling.

Nami opened the door and looked at the people sitting in rows on the deck, "She's awake, Zoro, come in!"

As soon as Zoro stood up, Luffy reached out and grabbed the railing and catapulted to the door.

"Hey, Luffy, you're cheating." Usopp shouted from behind.Several people rushed to the door in an instant. Nami leaned against the door and said speechlessly: "Why are you so excited?"

"She must be a beautiful and lovely lady!"

"Wizard, wizard! It's great!"

"The great Captain Usopp will be the first to go in!"

"She only said to see Sauron, you guys, get out of here!" "Bang bang bang~" He kicked her one by one.

"I'm so sorry~"*3

Zoro stood at the door, clenching his fists nervously, and he could even hear his heart pounding.

"Huh~" He took a long breath, opened the door and walked in.

Anelia, who was sitting on the bed, straightened up nervously when she saw him coming in, holding the quilt with both hands.

Zoro looked at the familiar long black hair mixed with strands of gray hair. It was indeed you, Anelia.

He silently walked to the bed, sat down on the stool, and looked directly into her blue eyes.The two looked at each other quietly without speaking.Only the intertwined breathing could be heard in the silent room.

Anelia's hands on the quilt continued to tighten. She had imagined countless scenes of them meeting again, but now it was the worst one.She just brutally killed two people in front of him, and she still looked like this.What would he think of her?How would she face him?

Looking at the dazed eyes in front of him, Zoro felt a mixture of emotions in his heart, including the joy of regaining something, the sadness of the passing of time, the relief of relief, and the resentful complaints.

He stretched out his hand, wanting to take off the mask on her face, wanting to see her face, wanting to see the smiling face that appeared in his dreams countless nights.

"Don't!" Anelia, who came back to her senses, immediately pressed the mask on her face.She said slightly panicked: "Don't touch it!"

Her sudden reaction caught Zoro off guard, but he reacted immediately. He grabbed Anelia's wrist and spoke eagerly: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Anelia also calmed down from the panic just now, and realized that her reaction was too fierce. She said: "It's okay, I have worn the mask for too long, and I am not used to taking it off. After all, I am a fugitive, and it is not easy to be seen." good."

"You lied to me." It was an affirmative tone.

"No, what are you trying to do by lying to me?" She said calmly.

"Then let me see."

"Do not"

"You're hiding something from me"

"no"

"there must be"

"absolutely not"

"Pfft~" After a long silence, the two of them chuckled at the same time.

"On my birthday in the first year, you secretly picked wild flowers and gave them to me without wanting me to know. I asked you the same question at the time."

"Oh~ Zoro was so considerate when he was young, but now that he has grown up, you don't give in to me at all." She pretended to sigh.

"No, no." Zoro said, his ears red, "I'll let you do it now."

Anelia's nose was sore and she could hardly hold back her tears. She raised her head sharply to prevent him from seeing her eyes.

"Idiot is enlightened. A straight man like steel can also say these words to make me happy." The voice was deep and nasal, with a strong nasal tone.

She sniffed and changed the subject, "How have you been these past few years?"

"Huh? Oh, ok, Master Koushiro is very good, Aunt Chia is also very good, the village chief is also very good, and those little carrot heads are also very good. They have all grown taller, but their swordsmanship is still very poor..."

"I'm asking you, are you okay?"

Zoro paused and said nothing.

"Well, I...don't answer if I don't..."

"No." He suddenly interrupted her

"I haven't had a good life these past few years."

"Since you are alive, why don't you come back? Do you know that everyone thinks you are dead? But I don't believe it. I told them that the mark has not disappeared, so you must not be dead. They don't believe me. You don't know how worried everyone is about you. ..."

It's both asking and venting.

"sorry that I had you worried."

She looked at the man in front of her.He was still a young boy when they separated, but now he has grown into a real man.

How to describe her feelings for him?He is not a paper man, an NPC, or a virtual character on the screen.But someone who lives in her life.He was the first person she met in this world.They have been with each other for two years, and every bit of their relationship has become part of their blood.

Even though she already knew the direction of the plot, she was not sure where they would go under the influence of the plot.But at this moment, she was very clear about the fact that she really liked Zoro!

After hearing her words, Zoro coughed lightly and a blush appeared on his face, "I'm not worried... I know you are definitely still alive..."

Looking at the tough-tongued Zoro, she couldn't help but smile. Sure enough, he was as cute as ever.

"Is it because of your face that you didn't come back to us?" Zoro asked suddenly, leaving her unable to react for a moment.

"No, I am a wanted criminal by the government. If I go back, I will definitely bring danger to the village." She explained hurriedly.

"Then why don't you let me see it? You still keep it secretive. Nami hasn't let me in before, maybe it's because of this."

"I..." She wanted to explain, but suddenly found that all lies were so pale.

"Ha~" She chuckled helplessly. "Sure enough, when people grow up, their minds also grow up, and they are no longer as easy to deceive as when they were children."

Is this really the case? Zoro frowned.Anelia raised her hand to hold his eyebrows, "Don't frown like an old man at such a young age. It's not handsome at all."

He put his hand gently on the mask and looked directly into her eyes. Anelia's body suddenly tensed up and her breathing became rapid.But she didn't stop his movement, she just looked at him quietly.

He gently took off the mask, and the scene in front of him was shocking. Even though he had done enough psychological construction for himself, when he saw this face, all his emotions collapsed.

Strong anger hit him like a mountain. His hands and feet were numb, his blood was about to coagulate, and his heart was about to suffocate.He could hardly suppress the substantial killing intent that burst out instantly.

"It's ugly, isn't it?" She said with a smile, and there was an obvious tremor in her voice.She tried to look calm and calm, as if this could hide her embarrassment.

Zoro's trembling hand gently caressed her cheek.It was covered with criss-crossing scars and large and small dark spots. There was not a single piece of intact skin on the entire face or below the eyes.Even his forehead was covered with purple meridians, and only his blue eyes were like sapphires dropped in a rotten swamp.

Choking and trembling, he gently held her in his arms and stroked her hair.

He didn't dare to imagine what happened to her, and he didn't dare to say any words of comfort. All comfort would tear open the scabbed scars.The gentlest words often turn into the most hurtful knives.
