2. Let us go, for the distance is urging us

Nami sat on the disgraced Luffy and was very angry until she saw Zoro and the others approaching, and then stood up slowly. Sanji was still looking red-eyed, and behind them was a car that was pierced by countless bullets. A military jeep, it died honorably in order to rescue a foodie who ignored discipline.Sauron stopped three meters away from them, silently shrugging his shoulders as a greeting.At this time, Ace had rushed over in three steps at a time, rubbing Luffy's dusty but flushed face affectionately.

"So it's a collision?" Nami frowned, her waist was thrust up, and her long orange curly hair was tied up high.Perona didn't bother to respond to her aggressive look, she automatically took a step back while holding the small black umbrella, and pushed Johnny to the front by the way.

"Ah, Miss Nami, it seems that they are different employers but have the same goal."

"What's your level?"

"Special S."

Sanji clicked his tongue: "Our side is the same."

Special S missions represent high risk and high reward, and the recipient is irrevocable. Ordinary mercenary organizations do not dare to accept such missions. The employer will pay 70% of the payment when the employment is completed. This is because there are often some mercenaries Soldiers don't survive to the end of the mission.It is forbidden in the industry to have one order and two employments. Collisions will not only increase the probability of accidents, but some employers will also lose commissions after the task is completed because they do not know who will be the final performer.There are many tragedies in history where mercenaries collide with each other to tear down each other.Oh, this is the mercenary circle, everyone's diary should be as thick as an Oxford dictionary.

"Then what should we do now?" Joseph looked at Sauron, at this time only the team leader had the right to make decisions.Johnny was laughing but clenched his pistol tightly, and Sanji was smoking a cigarette calmly, with his hands in his pockets seemingly casually.No one knows whether a shot will be needed in the next second.Zoro glanced lightly at Luffy who had sat up and was fanning himself with a straw hat.He looked at the ground and wondered what he was thinking, thin sweat broke out on the tip of his reddened nose, and the bulletproof vest was torn off by him with his movements, revealing his wheat-colored chest slightly.

A hideous wound left dark marks there, looming with his movements.

"Why don't you eat first." Luffy stood up without warning and hugged Sauron's shoulders. Joseph was so frightened that he drew his gun halfway and had to let out an embarrassed laugh. Nami shuddered angrily. And to.

"Didn't you just eat it? I didn't care about my instructions and ate the target's lunch! Have you realized what you are doing?"

"Well, because I'm hungry..." Luffy felt wronged extremely calmly, he wiped the sweat from his brow, turned his head to Zoro and smiled like a child, maybe because he just became an adult, he looks better Get closer to being a minor, Zoro thought endlessly, feeling his arm being touched.

"Zoro, let's eat together." Lu Fei raised his chin and said as a matter of course, "truce, truce."

Passing Luffy, Zoro saw Ace behind him raised his eyebrows playfully.

'look. Ace moved his lips slowly, "We always have to meet." 'He had the look of a mischievous prophet.

Sauron and Luffy's first encounter did not have any relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.The whole world is soaked in the pungent smell of gunpowder, the sky is dark, and the earth is riddled with holes, but they are the people who have been forgotten by the world from the very beginning—war orphans.They were adopted by the mercenary group Whale, who only provided them with just enough food to survive, but asked them to repay this kindness with everything else.

All that remains, your life, your strength, your desires, your love.

One day, all the children over six and under ten were gathered at the abandoned nuclear power plant to accept the so-called "beast baptism".Wearing shabby and thin clothes, they were pushed into the Colosseum in twos and threes, the door was locked, and only one was required. After an hour, only five or less people could walk out of the door alive.They were not assigned weapons and had no extra time to exchange names. The manager of Whale stood on the high platform of the Colosseum and looked down at the killing at the beginning of human nature. Many of these children couldn't even speak clearly but had vaguely grasped the knack of fighting. They poked their fingers into other people's Eye sockets, smashing the bridge of the opponent's nose with the head, biting the throat of the combatant with the teeth.All kinds of immature vocal cords roared like beasts, and blood spots sprinkled every corner.The manager with a bad taste didn't know where to find such a luxury as a piano. The gorgeous movement played by the keys hovered over the roof, and the bloody killing mixed with it became the first bloody memory in the minds of all the surviving people.

Zoro met Luffy in such a place.At that time, he had just crushed a child's stomach, and his eyes and ears were bleeding.He saw not far away that Luffy was stumbling to his feet, his leg seemed to be injured, and he was limping when he walked, he didn't know to look around, and he didn't hide his soft belly, he just walked along the road ignorantly and fearlessly Moving forward, shouting someone's name, someone pushed him, he clenched his fists fiercely but also powerlessly fought back, soon the attacker took advantage, he straddled Luffy, stretched out his hands firmly Clamping on Luffy's neck, his defenseless back was facing Sauron.Zoro took a breath, quietly stood behind the man, and hit the man's temple quickly and with all his strength.The child fell straight down without making a sound, and he twitched on the ground for a long time before stopping the sound.The blood stained Zoro's knuckles, he felt tinnitus, hunger, thirst and irritability, he raised his head and took several deep breaths, casually shaking his sore hands, scarlet splashed on Lu Fei's pale face, Sauron lowered his head and looked at him indifferently.He saw that Luffy was still lying on the ground, panting heavily with his left face swollen, he looked very small maybe just five years old, Sauron had been picked up for three years, he had never seen him, so this The child might have just been picked up, or he might have come from another district, but it looked like he hadn't learned how to fight at all before being thrown in for the baptism.Ah, also, there is less and less food, and there is no way to feed too many people.

Sauron squatted down on guard, and a bloody iron rod rolled out of nowhere, and Sauron held it tightly in his hand.Luffy's breathing stopped suddenly, making him almost think that the other party was dead.Zoro touched Luffy's neck, where there was a gurgling pulse beating unyieldingly.Maybe we should wipe our hands clean first, Zoro thought inexplicably.

Luffy smiled at Sauron, which was the first smile that Sauron had gained since he could remember.

Then Sauron heard the wind, blowing swiftly from his ear.

"Hey, Zoro, what are you thinking?" Luffy sat beside him at some point, smelling like barbecue.He bumped Sauron with his shoulder, "Aren't you going to the banquet?"

"What kind of banquet!" Sauron snorted expressionlessly.

"Anyway, we have to make a new plan now, why not hold a banquet!"

"It's really your style."

"Who made Sauron's style so boring drinking alone." Luffy said sincerely.

Not bad, I will talk back if I haven't seen you for two years.Zoro glanced at Ace, who was dozing off, and found that the other party had a frightened expression on his face, oh my brother has become better.Sauron sighed silently in his heart.

"What has Sauron been doing these two years?"

"Walking around, picking up some odd jobs."

"Have you been following Johnny and the others?"

"It's just on this list." After Zoro said this sentence, he heard Luffy smile briskly. Although he was not surprised, his heart skipped a beat when he saw Luffy's expression of smiling for a moment.

"That's it!" Luffy said proudly, "I knew they weren't Sauron's regular team members, and it's not easy to find someone as good as me."

Zoro paused for a moment while swallowing his drink, and then let out a slightly sarcastic chuckle: "But they don't cause trouble as much as you do."

Luffy leaned against Sauron and didn't care, he let out that familiar laugh, his jjj skin rubbing against Sauron's arm brought a burst of heat: "I haven't found a permanent team member yet Fortunately, Nami and Sanji can always come to help. But..." Luffy put his head on his knees, tilted his head and looked at Sauron: "The best time is when he is with Zoro!"

Zoro didn't answer, and the long-term relationship made him accustomed to Luffy's expression of affection without limit.If he misses you, he will say he misses you, and if he hates someone, he will say he hates him.This completely non-hidden communication behavior makes Luffy an outlier in the organization, but everyone in the organization is somewhat weird. In comparison, Luffy's way of living is more dangerous to himself.Sauron raised the wine bottle and took another big sip, the cold liquid pushed his Adam's apple up and down.A drop of liquid flowed down Zoro's neck, and was wiped by Luffy's finger and sucked into his mouth.Zoro glanced at Luffy quickly, and the dark and unclear emotions were fleeting in his eyes, but he just sat away a little calmly.

Zoro awoke from his stupor, and the first thing he felt was sharp pain, and then he realized that someone was shaking his arm desperately, making him even more dizzy.He broke away angrily, and saw Luffy squatting and looking at him with great interest, he was beaten worse than before, but there was a tall man with freckles on his face standing beside him.The iron rod that Sauron had found before was now in the hands of this tall boy. He looked down at Sauron, high above him, with gloomy and cruel eyes.

"Not dead, are you? Cooperation, do you want to do it?" The tall man said coldly.

Zoro felt a little pain in his head, and he reached out and touched the back of his head, feeling like he was going to die of pain.Only then did he realize that the entire square was unprecedentedly quiet, the sound of the piano stopped, and a large number of corpses were lying on the ground, and the smell of blood was nauseating.Apart from the three of them, there were four other people who could stand.

Two more to kill, or more.

Zoro looked at Luffy with the same eyes as he looked at the oil bottle, and slowly stood up.

"Okay," he said.

"Cooperate?"

"what?"

"Cooperate, beat Fei Kelik together." Luffy said like this as naive as many years ago. He still looks like that, clean and straightforward, and he does not know. Root and Sauron are embedded together, with a bit of willfulness, "I'll think about other things later!"

Ace didn't know when he woke up, and sat quietly beside Luffy. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Luffy's head, and finally hugged him tightly from behind. He raised his face on Luffy's shoulder and winked. He looked at Sauron without blinking, his dark eyes were like a wolf that wanted to hunt.

"Okay." Sauron rubbed his neck and threw the empty wine bottle away.

On this day, it was exactly two years and one day since Sauron killed Ace.
