One Piece's Life

Quincy, an uncle who looks about 3035 years old, actually no one knows his true age. His origins are equally mysterious and he has never told anyone about his past. After Matthew found the third member of "The Libertine's Party," Quincy dressed as a clown took the initiative to appear in front of Matthew. The two had a fierce battle when they first met. The battle lasted for two days. After a while, both of them finally stopped.

Since then, Quincy has joined Matthew's camp under certain conditions. However, the calm Matthew does not regard the weird Quincy as his subordinate or companion. In Matthew's mind, he judged Quincy's strength to be second only to his own, but this weirdo's character was hard to figure out, so the tolerant Matthew allowed Quincy to be lazy.

But Matthew also gained something. He ordered Hubert to give Quincy the dangerous tasks, and Quincy could always complete them in the shortest time. After Quincy completed his ninth dangerous mission, Matthew relaxed his guard a little...

Among the treasures collected in Matthew's treasure house, Quincy was interested in two items in total. Both items were Devil Fruit items, and of course he was the only one to discover them. One of the items, a gold card the size of an ordinary card, cannot be seen clearly because the appearance is covered with paint. This card is the "joker" among cards. At the same time, the ghost sealed in the card seems to be alive, and its laughter can often be heard.

As for the second special item Quincy obtained a few days ago...it was a pure white handkerchief. Now...Quincy is holding it in his left hand. Quincy is feeling the emotions coming from this treasure. He The black top hat looks like it will fall off at any moment. The expressionless Quincy was paying attention to two things. Among them, Warren in front of Quincy...his clothes were already torn.

Quincy was thinking: Why on earth did he not expect that the special attack I just performed did not cause the young man in front of him to be fatally injured. Although he had suffered some during the period, he was able to heal the fatal injury in a short period of time. . Quincy, who had been observing Warren, still couldn't find the key to the problem from Warren. As a result, Quincy, who found it troublesome, suddenly stopped attacking.

Now, Quincy's clothes were stained with his own blood, and he didn't care about his injuries at all. For Quincy... he had long been used to it. At this time... Quincy gently shook the handkerchief in his left hand, and the next moment... Quincy's clothes changed into another set. All the injuries on his body have disappeared, and at the same time, his black hat that was about to fall off has also been straightened...

On the other side, Warren, whose breath gradually stabilized, was still maintaining his special moves. Just when Warren felt that he could no longer bear the opponent's weird moves, he saw Quincy suddenly stop his movements. Warren, whose hair gradually returned to its original state, was still wary of Quincy. Warren, who had already made a judgment in his mind, did not want the other party to notice something strange about him. This weirdo... was extremely dangerous.

Now, the Quincy that Warren saw... He was wearing red clothes, and he didn't care about how the other person changed his clothes. When he saw the black and white face smiling at him, the nervous Warren understood The opponent was about to use some weird move again, but... Warren's physical strength was almost reaching its limit.

With this false expression, Warren couldn't guess what the other person was thinking. Warren, who chose the wrong opponent from the beginning. Always at a disadvantage, he believed Quincy was more dangerous than Matthew. There were still snowflakes in the sky of Laer City. Warren, who continued to use the green armed domineering force, had sweat streaming from his forehead, and the sweat dripped from his chin and instantly froze.

The calm Warren did not intend to attack Quincy. Warren, who had suffered a loss, had been thinking: Why did my injured part be exactly the same as the other person's? What method did he use to connect his body with his? If you do this together... you are really passive. If you attack him rashly, you will probably be injured.

After thinking for a long time, Warren did not come up with a practical countermeasure. Warren had to calmly observe the other party's movements. Now Warren saw Quincy lift the handkerchief from his left hand while holding his right hand on his left wrist...

Looking at the black-haired boy who lacked combat experience in front of him, Quincy still kept smiling. The subtle changes in the expression on Warren's face... Quincy could see it. At this time, Quincy, who closed his eyes, still maintained the posture of his hands and began to turn around. Behind Quincy, Warren remained calm and did not attack forward.

Quincy opened his eyes. He noticed that the black-haired boy behind him did not act recklessly. It seemed that the other person was still very calm. Quincy thought: Then... it's my performance time. Quincy put away his smile... and with an expressionless face, he blew away the snowflakes that were about to fall on him.

"I said... this young man, how about... let's play a game. Later... I will conjure some props, young man.. If you can guess which prop I am hiding in, then... I will immediately stop attacking the boy and leave the island without disturbing the boy. How about you get together with your companions?"

Warren, who had recovered a little physical strength... After hearing the other party's words, Warren just nodded slightly. Taking a deep breath, Warren revoked his domineering attitude and stepped on the ground with his feet... He didn't think things would change. It's so simple. After Warren confirmed that the other party would no longer attack, he was observing Quincy's actions.

Sensing that the black-haired boy behind him had made preparations, Quincy slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said excitedly: "gic box." In the next moment, Quincy's figure disappeared from Warren's sight. At the same time, 16 black wooden boxes suddenly appeared around Warren. These wooden boxes surrounding Warren 5 meters away were just enough to hold Quincy's body.

Warren, who was spinning on the spot, was a little confused. When Warren stopped, he heard 16 black wooden boxes making the same sound at the same time: "Before we start, let me explain the rules of the game. My body It's hidden in one of the 16 magic boxes. Boy...don't worry that I won't be in these magic boxes. The boy can only attack one of the magic boxes every time he attacks."

"Interesting boy, you have a total of 10 opportunities. After you use up 10 attack opportunities, if you still can't find my body, then boy... the traps of the other five magic boxes will be triggered at the same time. I almost forgot The most important thing is that among the 5 magic boxes, except for one where my body is located, the other 16 magic boxes... are all filled with traps. Which traps are hidden... of course depends on your luck, young man. , then... the game begins"

When Quincy said these two words, 16 black boxes suspended in the air rotated rapidly around Warren. Just when Quincy said that the game started, all 16 black boxes fell quietly to the ground. The 16 black boxes trapped Warren in a small space...

Warren, whose range of activities was restricted... raised his head and saw snowflakes still flying in the sky. Warren, who tried to jump up, planned to break away from the opponent's blockade, but... when Warren jumped up, behind Warren's black When he was about to cross the height of the black wooden box, Warren's body was pushed back by an invisible barrier.

For this boring game, Warren never likes to play according to the rules of the game stated by the other party. Since the opponent didn't explain what would happen if he attacked multiple black wooden boxes at the same time, then... let's give it a try. Warren clenched his fists and took three steps forward. Warren quickly raised his fists and attacked. He looked at the two black boxes, but...the two boxes still appeared in front of Warren intact.

"Hohoo is very sorry. This game... cannot attack two or more targets at the same time. But I blame myself for not explaining it to the boy. This time, let's consider it a special case. Next... boy, if you attack multiple magic boxes at the same time, boy The magic box you attack... the traps set inside will be activated at the same time. I hope the boy will not do such a dangerous move. Even if it is a trap, it is not something that the boy... you can deal with now. Think about it carefully, for a limited time Five minutes, after five minutes...if young man you still haven't found my identity, the traps in the other magic boxes will be activated at the same time. Young man...you better be careful, and then...it depends on how you choose."

After the sound disappeared, all the black boxes returned to calm. At the same time...a countdown appeared above Warren's head: 4:59. Watching the red countdown go by second by second, Warren, who focused his attention on the game, wanted to see which box the opponent's body was hidden in. The cautious Warren had already used a special move before attacking. Warren calmly looked at a black box in front of him, then slightly raised his fist and attacked the box.

After the box was destroyed by Warren's fist, a vacancy appeared in the place where the box was located. Then...a red shadow flew towards Warren at a close distance, and Warren was touched by this shadow. .Already prepared, he couldn't bear the pain and cried out: "Ahhh"

"I'm very sorry, boy...you didn't guess right, boy...the punishment you will receive is the punishment of fire. The flames comparable to magma...will swim in the boy's body for 10 seconds. I hope boy... .You can persevere, otherwise...this game will be a bit boring."

Warren, who didn't hear Quincy's words... his skin was burned by the special flame. Wherever the flame passed... the green armed color domineering energy disappeared immediately, but... Warren, who endured the severe pain, restored it. In the end, Warren persisted. After the flames disappeared, Warren, who was half-kneeling on the ground, felt that the short 10 seconds passed extremely slowly. Warren, who was physically exhausted, raised his head with difficulty and observed the surroundings. Weird black box...

"Well, you are such an interesting young man. Congratulations... you persisted. It's just... you still haven't found my identity. Then... let the game continue. Time... but there is not much left."
