Chapter 177 How about being entangled with domineering energy?
…
at the same time.
A certain sea area in the New World.
A lawless zone on a neutral island.
Tavern.
"Hahahaha!! It's a rare treat from dad today. We won't go home until we get drunk!!"
Marco, with a pineapple head on his head, stood on a wine table, his face flushed and he raised the beer glass in his hand.
"Roar!!"
The other members of the Whitebeard Pirates also raised their glasses in excitement and laughed heartily.
"Hey, hey, hey, you guys!!"
Whitebeard screamed helplessly, but the next second he was surrounded by his own crew members and drank wine, and he quickly merged into the lively and joyful atmosphere.
The crowd sang and danced, letting out their long-repressed desires and emotions.
Someone used a beer bottle as a microphone to sing,
Some people laughed so hard that they laughed so hard,
Some people get very drunk and then cry loudly,
There were also people who just sat there quietly, watching their friends in a mess with a smile.
"Hey, Oden! Don't sit there in a daze, everyone is happy!! Come and have a drink too!"
Marco suddenly seemed to have discovered something, his eyes suddenly lit up, he ran to a corner of the tavern excitedly, put his arm around Kozuki Oden who was wearing samurai uniform, and breathed out wine and said:
"what are you thinking about?"
Kozuki Oden, who was originally in a daze, suddenly came back to his senses, looked at the drunken Marco in front of him, smiled and said:
"nothing."
Marco rolled his eyes and suddenly asked:
"Are you homesick?"
Kozuki Oden seemed to have heard some joke and laughed loudly:
"How could it be possible? My dream since I was little is to travel to the sea!!"
"Become a free pirate, travel the whole world, and see all the beautiful scenery of this sea. This way, I, Kozuki Oden, come to this world in vain!"
"Compared to this vast and endless sea, Wano Country is really too narrow."
Marco frowned and asked curiously:
"Since you don't want to go home, then why are you so absent-minded every day and often sitting alone on the bow of the boat in a daze?"
Kozuki Oden waved his hands pretending to be calm and said:
"It's nothing, I'm just in a daze."
Marco stared at Kozuki Oden's face with suspicion and muttered:
"Is that because we lost to that marine named Darren?"
"That guy's strength is not simple. He even destroyed Kaido's base camp. Even a terrifying guy like the 'World Destroyer' Bundy Waldo fell into his hands. It's not unfair for you to lose to him..." Just have a chance to win it back in the future.”
Kozuki Oden smiled heartily and said:
"Of course I know that the appearance of that navy proved that my idea of going to sea was right."
"Otherwise, if I stay in Wano Country, I will never meet such a powerful opponent in my entire life!"
He subconsciously held down the handle of Tian Yu Yu Zhan at his waist, his eyes flashing with strong fighting intent.
"The next time we meet, I will win, and I will take Yama back from his hands!"
On his waist, in addition to Tian Yu Yu Zhan, there was also a black scabbard hanging.
When Marco saw his free and easy look, his doubts deepened.
If I wasn’t disappointed because I lost the battle with that navy, then why…
As the "big butler" of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco takes care of other crew members much more carefully than the rough Whitebeard.
Watching the warrior in front of him take a sip of beer, Marco suddenly seemed to remember something and tentatively said:
"You...do you think you miss a woman?"
puff! !
Kozuki Oden sprayed Marco in the face with a sip of beer.
He shook his head with a flushed face and coughed violently:
"I-I didn't!!"
Marco wiped the wine from his face speechlessly, the corners of his mouth twitching.
Come on, it's too obvious for you to look like this.
"Is she that good-looking girl? Her name seems to be... Tianyueshi?"
Marco asked in a low voice.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Kozuki Oden was silent for a moment and suddenly sighed.
"I don't understand why..."
He scratched his head.
"Obviously it was just a chance encounter, but watching her being taken away by that marine named Darren, I always felt like I had lost something important."
…
The bedroom was a mess.
White socks, a wide kimono, a purple belt... were scattered all over the place, and even the air was filled with a warm temperature.
Darren climbed up feebly, covering his lower back with one hand, and carefully covering Ah Shi, who had fallen asleep, with a quilt with the other hand.
When he glanced at Tianyue, whose face was full of satisfaction and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, he breathed out gently and then walked out of the room quietly.
"It's such a suffering..."
Wearing a pair of shorts, Darren sat on the threshold in front of the house without any posture, lit a cigarette, held his cheek dejectedly, and murmured:
"Are you really looking for Huo Shaoshan?"
But the idea was immediately rejected as soon as it came up.
No, no!
Darren shook his head and trembled all over.
Although Huo Shaoshan doesn't look like someone who gossips everywhere, the guy who is too gentle seems to be unable to keep secrets.
If word gets out, do you still want your reputation?
No, that's not right either.
His reputation in the headquarters was already "not very good".
But you can’t break the jar like this.
There is such a thing as a man, you can't accept it even to death.
"It seems that we have to think of other ways...returning life? This doesn't seem to work. That thing consumes one's own energy, and it is not just a fatal injury. This cannot be solved by returning life..."
Darren held a cigarette in one hand and rubbed the stubble on his chin with the other, thinking deeply:
"How about... covering it with armed Haki?"
As soon as this idea came up, Darren couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
This is probably feasible...
I just don’t know if it’s too powerful.
Well, if the founder of Armed Color Haki knew that someone in the future would use this ability to do that, he would probably be so angry that the coffin boards would explode.
Darren's thoughts gradually wandered and wandered.
He sat there smoking a cigarette, quietly looking up at the quiet starry sky.
The sound of Ah Shi's even breathing in the bedroom behind him kept coming, making him feel peaceful.
Under the soft light, he couldn't help but smile.
How long has it been since you felt such happiness and stability?
He couldn't remember clearly.
Fighting, fighting, desire, money, planning... the past life is so clearly presented in the mind. The life in the previous life may have been comfortable enough, but the memory has long been blurred.
A cigarette was smoked quickly.
Darren rinsed his mouth briefly, then walked into the room, got into bed, and held the sleeping Ah Shi in his arms.
Looking at the happy and smiling face in his arms, Darren gently kissed her forehead and whispered:
"Happy New Year."
