One Piece: The Long Road

An isolated island in the New World.

A pudding-shaped boulder as high as three meters is placed horizontally in the center of the island, and the dense rainforest extends around the boulder, affecting the entire small island.

Around the boulder, there was no greenery in the area of ​​nearly 100 meters, but there were dozens of dead beast corpses that had lost their breath of life lying quietly. At this moment, on top of this boulder, sits a black-haired young man who seems to be dozing with his eyes closed. Beside this young man, there is a huge epee that is still dark and deep under the sunlight.

This young man is Simon. A month ago, he came to this deserted island with blood and murderousness all over his body. Once he got there, Simon knew why there was no one on this island. .

Even if he couldn't control the gloomy and cold breath on his body, the huge beasts in the rainforest attacked Simon relentlessly, which showed that the beasts on the island are slaughter-type, and nature emphasizes the survival of the fittest. If you can't resist this whole day Beasts living in the slaughter, then human beings simply cannot survive on this isolated island.

In the distance to the center of the island, Simon can be said to be killing all the way with a heavy sword. When he landed on such an isolated island, Simon planned to rest for a month, but he did not expect that the small island he randomly chose was unusual. .

Before going to the island, Simon, who stepped on the air, saw the boulder in the center of the island at a glance. In order to create an environment where he could rest, Simon killed beasts for a whole day beside the boulder, and let the corpses of this group of beasts Stacked around boulders, this makes the beasts in the rainforest feel afraid.

Above the boulder, Simon suddenly opened his eyes, a smear of blood flashed from those eyes, his eyes slowly turned, and he glanced at the beast corpse that had been placed around for a month but showed no signs of decay, and sighed softly in vain. breathed.

For a month, Simon did not eat or drink for a whole month. He just sat quietly on the boulder and basked in the sun for a month. Rao relied on the recovery fruit. At this moment, Simon couldn't help but feel hungry.

Holding the epee beside him, Simon stared at the jet-black body and said to himself: "It took a whole month to suppress the urge to kill in your heart, nameless soul, what is your purpose? What? Should I abandon you?"

A few months ago, Simon felt a change in himself, a very vague but always real sense of disobedience.

He was clearly conscious during the fighting, but he was lost in the killing unknowingly. At that time, his will was very clear, but he couldn't control it. He continued in this state for several months until he left the battle. The blood-colored eyes still did not fade, and Simon finally realized that he could not continue like this, so he found an isolated island to rest and recuperate, saying that he was resting and recuperating, but during this month, Simon seemed to be closing his eyes and dozing off, in fact Every moment is against the killing intent in his chest.

To this day, the killing intent that stagnated in his chest disappeared.

During this month, Simon also tried to call the soul in the epee, but there was no news.

When the sharp weapon in hand threatens oneself, will everyone choose to abandon it?

After hesitating for a month and thinking for a month, Simon still decided not to give up the epee.

Along the way, the nameless epee has undoubtedly become a part of the body.

The sun was dazzling, and the roar of the beast was raging in the rainforest. Simon raised his head and let the sun shine on his face. He slowly stood up, looked in a certain direction, and said lightly: "It's been two years, and I don't know what they are doing now. Well, I haven't seen Old Smoke Gun and the others since I came to New World two years ago, so I must be very opinionated."

The black-haired young man on the boulder showed a faint smile under the gaze of the pair of beast eyes showing fear in the rainforest.

......

a few days later.

The G5 branch is one of the branches of the Navy in the New World. After Akainu officially entered the New World, the strength of each branch has been doubled to a certain extent, including the G5 branch.

Within the jurisdiction of each branch, even the pirates in the new world will not have enough to eat and have nothing to do to loot the islands that are always threatened by the navy, so the islands within the jurisdiction are all peaceful and peaceful.

On the island where the G5 branch is located, there is also a prosperous town. Under the protection of the navy, businessmen are willing to come to this island to trade, thus promoting economic prosperity. However, because of the protection of the navy, the island's Folk customs are not sturdy.

A young man with black hair and black eyes was suddenly greeted in the town where he lived and worked in peace and contentment. This black-haired young man was carrying a dirty and shabby suitcase in his hands. The residents frequently watched this uninvited guest. When they saw the heavy sword behind the young man, their eyes couldn't help but have a faint fear, which quickly faded away.

As early as when Simon first stepped into the town, the navy received a notification from the residents that a colonel led a team of navy soldiers to the town.

Simon met the residents' surprised eyes, looked around, and walked slowly towards the condescending base.

"stop!"

At this moment, a loud shout came from the front, and the voice was full of hostility.

Simon, who was lamenting the prosperity of the town, did not react when he heard this unkind shouting, because Simon had sensed the breath of the navy a few minutes ago. Street lights, let Simon not pay attention.

But to Simon's admiration, although the means of concealment are still crude, the act of encirclement under the circumstances of unknown hostility will not be at a disadvantage no matter what the situation is.

The leading officer was a middle-aged man with a resolute face. He looked at Simon coldly and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? What are you doing on this island?"

Simon looked at the middle-aged man calmly and said lightly: "I'm here to find someone, his name is Smog."

The middle-aged man was slightly startled when he heard the words, and his suspicious eyes swept across Simon's body. Seeing Simon's outfit at the moment, his face couldn't help showing disbelief. At this moment, a navy hurriedly whispered a few words in his ear. , the disbelief on the middle-aged man's face suddenly turned into shock.

"Red-eyed devil?!"

Hearing the report of the subordinate, the middle-aged man shouted in disbelief, and looked at Simon in fear. Then, the middle-aged man saw that Simon's eyes were black, and he couldn't help feeling the heat on his face, and slapped the subordinate's head with a fierce palm. down.

"Do you think holding a epee is a red-eyed demon? Don't look into his eyes, you idiot!"

The subordinate touched his aching head aggrievedly and muttered in a low voice, "Can't I only see his back?"

The middle-aged schoolmaster glared at his subordinates, and the latter fell silent for a while.

"Cough cough."

The middle-aged school official coughed a few times to cover up his previous gaffe, then ignored Simon and said coldly, "Report your name."

The red-eyed devil can be said to be a familiar name in the new world, and it also includes the characteristics of the red-eyed devil. At the same time, there are many pirates in the new world who are not afraid of death, and they all wear black epee and pretend to be red-eyed. Demon, and because of this, almost all the naval branches in the new world have caught so-called red-eyed demons, although they are fakes.

Immediately, the middle-aged school official also regarded him as a counterfeit, and could not help but bring a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Snold Simon."

In order to see Old Smoking Gun and Dasqi faster, Simon reported his name honestly.

Immediately, the expressions of all the navies present were startled.

Snod Simon, isn't this the name of the new general?

After a while, the middle-aged colonel suddenly pulled out the knife at his waist and pointed at Simon with a sneer, "I thought you were just pretending to be a red-eyed demon, but I didn't expect that mother would dare to pretend to be a general of the headquarters, really a navy Can you play around at will?"

Simon smiled wryly and suggested, "You can go and ask Smog to check in the future. As a colleague, I don't recommend you draw a knife to me, because..."

The wry smile gradually subsided, and Simon's eyes were slightly condensed, revealing a faint power.

"When your knife hits me, that's when you die"

"It's not a joke, because fighting back has become my instinct!"

"And my counterattack will be fatal!"

The cold words seemed to contain the power of the sky, the expression of the middle-aged man was slightly stiff, his limbs were like lead, and it was difficult to move.
