"Rebecca" was once a princess of a country, but that was only six years ago, and even her childhood memories are blurred.
In the days that followed, a one-legged toy soldier took care of her, eating with her and teaching her how to practice swordsmanship. Although her life was poor, it still felt like family warmth.
The good times did not last long. In order to save "Rebecca" from human traffickers when "Rebecca" was ten years old, the one-legged toy soldier violated the regulations and attacked a human being. He was wanted by the police and had to Left "Rebecca".
Later "Rebecca" became a prisoner sword fighter and was accompanied by blood and death all day long, but this beautiful memory has always been hidden deep in her heart.
She remembered that the soldier once said to her - one day, you will meet someone who loves you, and that person will be by your side instead of me, but before that, you You must learn to protect yourself with the sword in your hand, so that you can wait until that person arrives.
Looking at Luo Jie, who was politely extending his hand to invite her, "Rebecca" was in a trance for a moment, and this memory that had been buried for a long time came to mind inexplicably.
She suddenly realized that she had lost her composure, turned her face and wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes. She carried the skirt in one hand with standard etiquette, and gently placed her other hand on Luo Jie's palm.
"Well... it's an honor."
As a famous tourist city in the New World, "Dressrosa" is also known as the "city that never sleeps", with large pubs and restaurants on the street It welcomes every tourist who comes to play all night long, and the brightly lit streets shroud the entire city full of flowers and toys in a fairy tale-like soft light filter.
After the brief tension passed, "Rebecca" realized that no one was paying attention to her and completely relaxed her body and mind, letting Luo Jie hold her hand and chirping like a happy bird. The guide introduces every scenic spot and historical legend in the city.
After having a sumptuous and almost luxurious dinner at the prestigious Lovers Bridge Restaurant, the two of them went to the viewing platform on the roof of the restaurant.
This is the highest point in the city, with an unobstructed view of the entire main street of "Dressrosa". It is also one of the favorite date spots for couples in love.
There were several couples on the platform at this time, each hugging each other tenderly and affectionately. They did not pay attention to the newcomers Luo Jie and "Rebecca", and did not even take a second look.
Luo Jie suddenly put his arm around "Rebecca"'s shoulders.
The girl seemed to realize something, but she did not resist due to the atmosphere. Instead, she leaned her head on Luo Jie's arms due to her drunkenness.
"Ye, do you know? In the past, every year on the birthday of the direct members of the Riku royal family, fireworks corresponding to their age would be set off above the arena. I still remember that the last time I saw my birthday fireworks, there were six. It was very strange. It's beautiful...but after the new king came to the throne ten years ago, there is no such tradition."
"Rebecca's" identity is not a secret in the arena, and she did not have it from the beginning. Have anything to hide from Luo Jie.
"Princess of the Subjugated Country" has never been a romantic title. In the place of "Dressrosa", it is equivalent to "sinner and danger". She once again deliberately named her identity and mentioned it again. "Doflamingo" also had the good intention of letting Luo Jie calm down and retreat.
Although she has never been in love, she is not slow and stupid. Naturally, she understands that what Luo Jie did tonight has already exceeded the standards of a partner or friend.
When she suddenly fell in love, like all girls of the same age, she felt a little worried about gains and losses.
So she gave the choice to Luo Jie.
She knew very well what she was feeling in her heart at the moment. If it were up to her to choose, she... wouldn't be able to refuse at all.
Luo Jie smiled noncommittally, and magically conjured a small firework in his hand.
The lit fireworks burst out into a small cluster of bright fireworks, making the face of the girl in front of her look even more pure and charming.
At this moment, a series of slender firelights suddenly shot up into the sky in the direction of the arena, bursting into a group of extremely gorgeous fireworks, and the bright sparks slowly fell from the sky, illuminating Dre The dark sky of Srosa forms a colorful and dreamy scenery.
Both the lovers on the rooftop and the residents in the block were all shocked by this sudden "surprise". They stood blankly looking up at the star-like bright spots. After a moment, they burst into warm cheers.
"Rebecca" covered her mouth in disbelief, tears rolling in her eyes.
Others might think this was just a sideshow prepared by the organizers of the fighting competition, but she could clearly see that there were exactly sixteen gorgeous fireworks blooming in the night sky!
"Although this blessing may be a little late, I still wish you a happy sixteenth birthday...little princess."
The plain and warm words completely shattered "Reibei With the strong wall in Ka's heart, hot tears burst out of his eyes. The so-called shyness and reserve had long been burned away by the fire-like love in his heart. He stood up on tiptoes and hugged Luo Jie's neck, and took the initiative to offer the gift that he had treasured for sixteen years. A girl's first kiss.
"Ye, if you don't mind that I am a prisoner and sinner without freedom, then... I am yours tonight."
...
[You obtain "Light of the Soul·Lei" Becca". 】
……
Small theater.
A few hours ago, the top platform of the amphitheater. "I've really had enough. That bastard Nightmare went to pick up the princess. Why should we come here like thieves and set off fireworks for him at night?"
" "Princess Mononoke, Perona" grumbled, seeing the "big-stomach girl, Bonny" next to her, too busy gnawing on chicken drumsticks to pay attention to her, she could only continue to count the small pile of big food at her feet in dejection. Firework bombs.
"...Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen?? The number that the dog gave birth to before was clearly sixteen!"
"Perona" can't be correct no matter how much you check. Counting up, it seemed that the punishment image of myself with a broken face and covered with holy light appeared in front of me. She looked at "Bonnie" with sweat on her face, and whispered in a low voice: "Good sisters are loyal, how about... you Just say you accidentally ate one.”
"Bonnie, the girl with a big stomach" rolled her eyes: "You might as well say that the dog doesn't know how to count and gave the wrong fireworks."
"No! This lie is too false! That dog is better at settling accounts than I'm sure, the bad guys won't believe it!"
"Oh...Brother Nightmare sent the signal. Let's light the fire."
Follow "Big Stomach Girl Boni". Pointing at his finger, a bright light from fireworks appeared on the roof of a building in a brightly lit neighborhood.
"Ah - what should I do? What should I do? I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"
As fifteen fireworks were launched into the sky one after another, "Princess Mononoke Perona", who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, suddenly realized her wits and mobilized the maximum output of the [Lingling Fruit] to launch a super-large one with a faint blue shimmer. The ghost kicked up into the sky.
——"Extra-large ghost, kamikaze bomb, special fireworks customized version"!
Boom!
A blue firework that was larger than the other fifteen together lit up the city of "Dressrosa" as bright as day.
A certain goth loli sat down on the cold stone rooftop, her eye sockets were sunken and haggard, and she felt as if her whole body had been hollowed out.
A greasy roasted chicken leg was thrust directly into "Perona"'s mouth from the side.
"Do you want to eat it? Give it to you."
"Don't make trouble, I have never eaten something so greasy... Well, it seems to be quite delicious. Let's have another one."< br>
……
The morning of the third day.
Luo Jie originally planned to treat "Rebecca"'s injury to avoid affecting the next day's D-zone competition, but she refused on the grounds that she wanted to keep the memory of last night for a while longer.
So after having a late breakfast, Luo Jie opened the "Shadow Box" again and teleported the two of them back to the single dormitory in the arena.
Rebecca, who returned to the arena, has regained her appearance as the heroic swordswoman she was when she first met her. She also deliberately kept the distance between partners when talking to Luo Jie, but the look in her eyes Even if you touch her accidentally, you can still see the deep love that seems to be irreversible.
Luo Jie was secretly grateful.
The reason why he was able to speed through "Sword Princess Rebecca" in just two days was because he took advantage of having the right time and place on his side.
Heaven - Because of the sinner status of the former royal family, "Rebecca's" love experience from the age of six to the present is completely blank. The only male with whom she has a close relationship is her biological father "Cyrus" who became a toy soldier.
It is a state where the defense against being pursued is zero.
Poor location - "Dressrosa" is known as the "land of love and passion". For thousands of years, the blood of romance has flowed in the bones. Strange young men and women can even intersect with each other just by looking at each other. It just snaps together.
In this country where the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers and hormones, "Rebecca's" understanding of love is closer to the unrestrained and blazing fire, rather than the silent water that moisturizes things, as long as it can be peeled off The strong armor in her heart, and the length of time they have known each other has never been the distance for a Dressrosa person to pursue love.
At the same time, the melee in Area C also started in full swing on time.
In the original work, Zone C is the zone where the protagonist "Luffy" lives, and the player configuration is comparable to a fight between gods. However, due to the butterfly effect caused by Luo Jie in this world, after the powerful "Pirate Mercenary Haildin" and "Fanku Brothers" went to Area D, the winner of Area C was no longer in suspense.
The final group to qualify is the grandfather-grandson duo "Qingjiao" and "Cai Yi" from the Eight Treasure Navy of the Kingdom of Flowers.
The two of them don’t have any weird devil fruit abilities, they only rely on their advanced “dominance” to win.
Especially the unique skill of the Eight Treasure Marines [Hachuchong Fist], which is an advanced "Armed Haki" application method similar to Wano's "Ryuu Sakura", which can evenly distribute " "Armed Color Haki" is concentrated on one point at the moment of attack or defense, thereby achieving stronger offensive and defensive effects.
At least in terms of "dominance", the grandfather and grandson are a whole version ahead of all other players.
I remember that when Luo Jie first entered the world of "One Piece", he was still thinking about [Eight Chong Fist], but now that he has the same effect and higher quality [Immortal Technique·Five Elements Alchemy], he doesn't look down on this low-level one. Comes with version. (End of this chapter)
