On a beach next to the Windmill Village, it was night and the sky was full of stars. I faced the sea, lying sideways on the beach, supporting my head with one hand, and lazily looking at the stars in the sky. I have always felt that at night, the beauty of the stars
Far more than the moon, because the stars can form a variety of patterns; and the moon, except for its absence and conjunction, I really don't feel anything about it. In front of me, there are two little girls, one of whom is holding the word "和道一字"
While doing kendo exercises, the other one was gesturing with his hands and feet, experiencing the fighting skills.
"Yina, when you swing the sword, your hands must be fast and ruthless, and there must be murderous intent in your eyes; Xiaolu, raise your hands a little higher, and keep your feet steady and don't shake." I watched them practice while instructing them.
, until I feel that their movements can meet my standards, I will no longer care about them.
"Costa, what do you think is the highest level of a swordsman?" Maybe she was tired, so Guina put away her sword, sat next to me, and started chatting with me.
"I don't know." Looking at the starry sky, I thought for a while and continued, "The so-called highest realm is just like the strongest opponent. There is no strongest, only stronger. If you just want to be the strongest swordsman
, then you are not good enough for me to teach you. A good swordsman will constantly challenge his own limits. Only such people can be regarded as swordsmen by me."
"Challenge yourself?" Ina murmured, slowly falling into thought. After a while, she walked to the beach by herself and continued to practice swordsmanship. The only difference from the original was that every sword swing was carried with determination.
, it should be clear something.
"Brother, when are we going home? I already want to go to bed." Xiaolu came to me and started to coquettishly want to go home.
"Xiaolu, are you done with the exercise? Once done, we will go back, of course, we have to wait for sister Ina." I rubbed her little face lovingly. No matter when, I could not be too harsh on her.
"Well, it's done," Xiaolu said with a face full of joy. She wanted to say something more, but suddenly fell silent. Then she ran towards the woods behind Windmill Village without any warning, her face full of anger.
"Ina, wait for me here." I shouted to Ina, and then hurriedly ran after Xiaolu.
I found her in a relatively open place in the woods. She was lying on the ground, using the darkness and lush grass to block her figure. In front of Xiaolu, there were three children, one of whom turned out to be Luffy.
They were making a fire, and my eyes turned to them, and I knew why Xiaolu was doing what she did. Next to them was a sika deer, with its limbs tied up, and it was struggling constantly.
I slowly walked to Xiaolu and put my hand on her shoulder, "Xiaolu, don't be impulsive. I'll go rescue it. You wait for me here, okay?" Xiaolu didn't say anything, just bit her.
Lower lip, nodded. Seeing her performance, I was slightly relieved, then stood up and walked towards Luffy.
"Luffy, what are you doing? Why don't you go home so late?"
"Ah, big brother." Luffy raised his head and looked at me, then said with a big smile, "We are looking for food again. We have been practicing for too long and forgot to eat."
"Really? Are you going to eat this?" I pointed to the sika deer tied to one side, "I'll treat you to it? But can you let that sika deer go? Look at how pitiful it is, and you're too embarrassed to eat it.
?”
"Huh? Is there any?" Luffy pressed his nose with his right finger, and then asked a boy next to him, "Ace, are we embarrassed to eat this sika deer?"
"What are you sorry for?" the kid named Ace said calmly, and then called to another kid next to him, "Saab, are you okay? You can't make a fire for so long."
"Wait, it will be ready soon." The boy named Sabo lay on the ground and blew hard, but no matter how he tried, the fire just couldn't start, and his face was covered with fly ash.
"I said, I'll treat you to delicious food to keep you satisfied, okay?" I secretly glanced at Xiaolu and saw her face full of anxiety, so I could only think of a temporary solution first.
"Really?" The three little boys looked at me happily, completely forgetting about the sika deer. But before I could breathe a sigh of relief, something unexpected happened immediately.
"Ah! The meat is gone!" Luffy suddenly discovered something, and then he was about to chase the sika deer, but he was pulled tightly by me. Looking at his elongated cheeks, I realized that he was also a Devil Fruit user.
"Luffy, if the meat is gone, it's gone. Big brother, please treat you to something delicious, okay?" Looking at Luffy's stubborn expression, I felt so helpless.
"Okay, Luffy, let's listen to uncle's arrangements." At the critical moment, Ace dissuaded Luffy, and the three children together looked at me eagerly. Just that title...
"Uncle, I'm sorry to bother you!" Sabo said to me happily, but that title... I just looked in the mirror today, and no matter how I looked, I looked like a flower.
In the wine of Maginot, the three boys, Luffy, Ace, and Sabo, were swallowing the food in big mouthfuls. This made Maginot very busy. Isn't this? Because one person is really too busy, I, Xiaolu
and Ina were both stripped of their virginity.
"You're so capable," Maginot sighed while wiping her sweat. "I didn't expect three children to be so good at eating." After saying that, she glared at me, obviously blaming me for causing her trouble.
.
"Haha, children have long bodies." I explained carefully, but it sounded like I was hiding something.
"Sister Ina, thank you." Xiaolu thanked Ina, because it was Ina who just used the word "Hedao" to help the sika deer escape. Of course, some people would not thank her.
"Well, big brother, can you have some wine!" Luffy called loudly, and even Ace and Sabo became excited and shouted for a drink.
"Don't be verbose. We'll wait until you are adults." I held a plate of dishes in one hand and walked towards the dining table where Luffy and others were sitting.
"Adult? What does adulthood mean?" Luffy asked Ace doubtfully while chewing on a large piece of meat.
"I don't know, maybe I'll be an adult when I become a pirate."
"Oh! I understand, becoming a pirate means adulthood, becoming the Pirate King means old age!" Luffy laughed and said self-righteously.
"Am...am I crazy?" I was sweating profusely as I watched the conversation between the two teenagers. Could it be that Sabo is a normal person among these three teenagers?
The nonsense continued. Xiaolu and Ina were so sleepy that they fell asleep on my lap. I looked helplessly at Luffy and the three of them enjoying their meal. "How long has it been since they last eaten?
"I complained in my heart. On the other side, Maginot looked at me with eyes that said "You are dead". I was wronged!
"Brother, what's your name?" Luffy asked suddenly, and the other two children also looked very interested.
"Costa." Without any unnecessary words, I stroked the hair of the two little girls and put the cloak on them. "Luffy, speak softly and don't disturb them when they sleep."
"Oh." Luffy responded with meat in his mouth. "Costa, were you a pirate before?"
"No, why did you think of asking this?"
"That's what Shanks said. He said he couldn't see your strength, so I thought you were a pirate before."
"Oh? Why?" I asked curiously.
"Pirates are all the strongest!" Luffy replied carelessly, showing a big smile at the same time.
I:"……"
The whole night was silent, and I didn't know when I fell asleep, but when I woke up the next day, the two little girls were still asleep on my lap, and Luffy and the trio were also asleep on the table.
There was even a piece of meat in Fei's mouth, and Maginot was lying on the stage. It looked like he hadn't gone home last night. The sun shone in through the window. This was the first time since I came to this island that I
No sunrise was seen. There was a slight vibration on her knees. It turned out that Guina was awake. She rubbed her eyes and looked out the window, then stood up and walked out. "I went to practice sword practice.
." After saying that, the figure was gone. I shook Xiaolu, and she woke up faintly and looked at me blankly, not knowing what I was going to do. "Xiaolu, your sister Ina has already gone to practice.
Do you still want to sleep?" After saying that, she deliberately sighed and pretended to be very iron-clad. "Ah! I'll be there right away." After saying that, Xiaolu ran out of the wine room in a hurry.
