【Eagle Red】Lifetime

When the small coffin boat successfully boarded the ocean current leaving Rigwhite, the world's number one swordsman, Mihawk, was recalling his last encounter with Redhead—it might not be appropriate to describe it as an encounter, as Mihawk did not It is impossible to determine whether Shanks, who was in the limelight, saw himself in the big event with ups and downs and situations one after another two years ago.

Mihawk didn't expect that the kid who inherited the straw hat would cause so many troubles in just a few months, and even two of his nominal colleagues over the years were brought down one after another.At the same time that the straw hat returned to the great route, some kind of mechanism that was stuck in the era seemed to be quietly opened, and the long-established balance of the three major forces was actually broken by a young boy who didn't know the severity.

Blue out of blue, Shanks really didn't miss it.

That nice young swordsman, Roronoa, is also the Straw Hat's companion, which is a rather subtle coincidence.Mihawk suddenly felt that something that could arouse his interest might be about to happen.When he learned that a certain Qiwuhai recruiting meeting would discuss the small pirate group, he made an exception to attend Sengoku and Doflamingo's surprise.

So when the news of Whitebeard's squad leader's public execution spread all over the world, Mihawk thought about it and analyzed what kind of waves it would cause.When the compulsory call-up order came from Shichibukai, Da Jianhao was ready to travel, and he happily complied with the request to fight against Whitebeard.

Having been bored for too long, Mihawk is happy to witness the biggest excitement that is about to happen after One Piece's execution.

However, the Great Swordsman did not expect that this war that should have belonged to the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy Shichibukai Alliance unexpectedly added so many uninvited guests, and the Straw Hat Boy unexpectedly appeared from the sky.

Mihawk looked coldly at the kid who still didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and wholeheartedly wanted to rescue his sworn brother. Such willfulness and affection are still very much like Shanks.

When Admiral Sengoku finally announced to the world the life experience of the two young pirates who stole the limelight, everything also developed in a more unpredictable direction.In an instant, too much information gathered together, and gradually intertwined into a special clue before the eyes of the great swordsman, as if the will of fate flashed faintly.

It suddenly occurred to Mihawk that regardless of his family background, it was this child who caused Shanks to lose his left arm, making him lose his opponent ten years ago, and touched the crown of his dream prematurely. Since then, his life has become more and more empty boring.

Naturally, he would not be angry with the straw hat boy in front of him, but when more and more expectations and hints were pressed on the same person, Mihawk wanted to test this guy who seemed to be chosen by the times. brat.

Da Jianhao didn't think that he should be merciful. Compared with the reckless and angry attack in the East China Sea, the Straw Hat Boy's strength has undoubtedly improved a lot. If he can't even deal with one person with a single knife, he will naturally become the One Piece King.Fortunately, the kid with D in his name did not disappoint in the end. After fighting against him several times with the mentality of observation and examination, Mihawk, who has always had a very high vision, finally recognized this child's precious ability in a certain aspect.

In this lively execution that has attracted worldwide attention, unexpected accidents have come one after another. Mihawk is neither the focus of the world's attention nor a player involved in the game.He fulfilled his promise to help the navy, but compared to meaningless fights, the exciting changes at the scene undoubtedly aroused the great swordsman's interest in watching.

The assassination of Whitebeard, the domineering appearance of the Straw Hat Boy, the rescue and death of the posthumous son of One Piece, the appearance of the Blackbeard Pirates, the death of Whitebeard... These series of increasingly unmanageable accidents happened one after another in a short period of time, like walking on thin ice for many years The balance of power has obviously been broken, and Mihawk can't guess what will happen in the next second of this battlefield, and how this unexpected and shocking execution will end.

When Shanks suddenly appeared and blocked the Admiral's magma fist, Mihawk found himself not surprised after a moment of absence.He listened to him praising the bravery of the navy kid; he watched him amble to pick up the straw hat that had fallen on the floor; Proclamation to end the war.

That was the Shanks that Mihawk had never seen before—the red-haired captain who was the Emperor of the New World.How could that man be so strange before he knew it?

He suddenly remembered Shanks' indifferent attitude a few months ago, and now it seems that this is also easy to figure out-as the big pirate of the four emperors, he is willing to calmly accompany Qi Wukai who has betrayed the spirit of pirates. Have a couple of glasses... The redhead is indeed a gentle person.

They are no longer Mihawk and Shanks back then, but the Four Emperors and Qiwuhai who are very important to this world.It turned out that during the many springs and autumns when his life was stagnant, that guy had already left their common origin, and with a firm awareness, he had grown so much and changed so much.

Mihawk turned around blankly, leaving the chaotic battlefield that made him lose interest.Now that the redhead has shown up and made a statement, the ending is obvious. That guy will definitely do what he says... Mihawk never doubts.

When the dissatisfied question from the Navy behind him came, Mihawk suddenly recalled a certain promise he used to answer Shanks that year-that sentence might be able to coax the red-haired man who had not broken his arm back then. Pirates, but today's Four Emperors don't care if there is one more or less enemy, right?

"Fighting red hair is not within the agreement between me and you." Da Jianhao finally announced his exit with a natural answer.

Naturally, Mihawk didn't expect that when he finished his return journey and set foot on Kuragana Island again, there were two young uninvited guests in the castle, arguing over who should cook.

From the annoyed quarrel between the ghost girl of Moria's house and Roronoa, he learned that the instigator of all this was actually his colleague who had become a humanoid weapon.As for the original intention of Bartholomi's move, Da Jianhao has no interest and has no chance to ask about it.

He patiently answered Roronoa's question, briefly summed up everything that happened in the Navy Headquarters, followed the will of this reckless young swordsman, and gave him a small boat, and let the wounded opponent go and stay at will. The girl was very annoyed.

However, not long after, Roronoa suddenly changed his mind and appeared in the living room of the castle again covered in blood.When he made a declaration of pride that he would definitely surpass himself and take off his own head, the great swordsman finally broke out into a burst of laughter uncontrollably.

Without him, the moment Roronoa said the reason for asking for advice, Mihawk, who had been seeking defeat for many years, already knew that he would not be able to refuse.It's just that the fate is so absurd, and he needs to personally teach a little guy who only cares about his own life... How can this not be funny?

In the next two years, the world's number one swordsman deeply experienced all the joys and sorrows of raising children. He was not interested in interfering with anything, and tolerantly gave the tenants the greatest degree of freedom.But after the addition of two people, the unchanging tranquility of Kulakana Island for many years was broken, and what was also broken included many living habits of the great swordsman... and some indescribable states of mind .

When the quiet cooking smoke over Pitty Town came into view, the great swordsman, who was still immersed in the memory, felt a little caught off guard-the tortuous and long voyage in his memory...it turned out that it could end so smoothly and directly.

The old map given by Shanks many years ago has long been lost in the chaos of searching for the black knife. However, Mihawk unexpectedly discovered that even after such a long time, he still clearly remembers this sea area Due to various situations—it seems that the ocean current I took this time is not the one that passed by Days Island many years ago, and the plan to stop the boat to pay homage to the swordsman sleeping under Days Island and his predecessor Saber will be cancelled.

Mihawk stared silently in the direction of Days Island for a while, the hazy sky weighed down, covering up the small island that once made him experience a turning point in his life, and there were only endless seawater.He didn't feel sorry for it. Since he had missed the opportunity, there was no need to express his intentions deliberately.

Mihawk looked back and seriously thought about the types and quantities of ingredients that needed to be supplemented after landing in Pitty Town. The first thing that jumped into his mind was the special japonica rice in Pitty Town that he hadn't had time to buy due to injuries many years ago.

When the small coffin boat was about to leave the pier of Pitty Town carrying the great swordsman who had returned from purchasing, Mihawk turned his head with a feeling, and exchanged a calm look with the elegant man in the wheelchair on the bank ——In terms of Perth's influence on this island, this is not a surprise.

The entanglements and attachments that belonged to each other many years ago have long since faded away. Mihawk looked at the passer-by who had only met each other with a blank face, pushed his glasses slightly, and showed a gentle smile to himself.

Jianhao thought that he should respond, so he pulled out the black knife behind his back, slashed lightly at the water below the boat, and then sailed away without looking back.

Moments after the small coffin boat sailed away, Boss, who was already gray at the temples, sat on the spot, smiling as he watched the calm sea burst suddenly, and many broken pieces of wood floated to the surface.The leader of the bounty hunters who was over half a century old knew that one of his submarines had been scrapped, but this did not prevent him from feeling relaxed at the moment.

Hawkeye lived up to the knife, and the influence of past grievances on each other seemed to be insignificant.The happy smile on Perth's face deepened, he turned his head, and said gently to his father's confidant: "Please run with me, it's a good trip, let's go home."

It has been a few days since the cloudless and clear sky left the ever-gloomy Rigwhite sea area, and the bright sunshine once again enveloped the solitary boat without hesitation, and Mihawk's calm mood became more relaxed.

This is a much shorter journey than imagined. Those memories have accumulated in my heart for a long time, and then they lost the touch of the past, even in the big event two years ago, the vague loss caused by the red hair , and finally became softer and softer.

It was time to return, and Mihawk put away Regwhite's permanent pointer, and adjusted the sail in the direction of Culagana Island.He raised the corners of his lips slightly, wondering if the little girl would like the souvenirs he brought back—it was a pair of Kuei wood statues in the shape of bears, Mihawk bought them when he saw them, and for Luo Ronoya, it is enough to bring a few bottles of local specialty wine.

It wasn't until the boat traveled a certain distance that he suddenly remembered...the two children who had been bouncing around in front of his eyes for two years were no longer in the old castle, and this revisit to the old place full of memories was also accompanied by the tenants. Their departure is inseparable from the relationship.

Mihawk stroked the center of his eyebrows. Not long ago, he was secretly surprised that he remembered the past events of the past so clearly, but now he was unknowingly confused.He didn't think that he would reach the age of old age so soon, but the repeated mistakes caused by inertia still made the great swordsman, who had been calm for a long time, feel a little powerless in vain.

I don’t know if Roronoa and the little girl have arrived at the Chambord Islands at this moment, a little concern quietly grew in Mihawk’s heart, which made him smile—even though it was half a year earlier than the calculated time Yue set off with a little girl leading the way, but Mihawk still doubted from the bottom of his heart whether a certain three-sword swordsman would be able to find the direction to his destination smoothly.

But this is something beyond his reach, Mihawk withdrew his concern - they will return to their partners after all, Roronoa belongs to the Straw Hat Pirates, and the little girl is still thinking about Mo Leah.

Da Jianhao suddenly felt a little bored, since he was alone again, it might as well end this trip later.

However, the destination of the next journey is not easy to determine. Mihawk weighed it over and over again, and gave up the idea of ​​returning to Pitty Town to buy a temporary pointer-Rigwhite's next stop is the Chambord Islands, where the Straw Hat Pirates will soon be Reunion, he had no intention of appearing in a sensitive place at this coincidental time.

After thinking for a moment, Mihawk took off his feather hat, and gently took out a small intact life card from it.The flamboyant signature was still clearly written horizontally on the white paper. Mihawk looked at it for a moment, and couldn't help laughing at himself—but his mood changed, and he wanted to meet that guy.Why do you need to recall everything and find a far-fetched excuse?Compared with the embarrassing visit two years ago, isn't such self-defeating hesitation more embarrassing?

Da Jianhao squeezed the thin life card firmly, and simply changed the direction of the sail—since he had an inappropriate thought, between stupid self-defeating and even more stupid self-repression, the former better.

……

The privilege of Shichibukai under the king allowed the small coffin boat to be successfully consigned through the holy land of Mariejoa without interrogation, and arrived in the new world after two years of absence.Mihawk did not hide his whereabouts, but the navy under the leadership of Akainu was not the style of the year, and he did not encounter any warships who came to question him.

Mihawk followed the direction indicated by the life card and drove unhurriedly along the most direct route. When the sixth twilight came to the new world, he began to see people with the flag of the red-haired pirates one after another. An island of tranquility.

The distance between them was getting closer and closer, and Mihawk still kept the boat at a peaceful and steady speed, moving forward in the direction of the life card.

When the blurred outline of the island where the red-haired pirates were stationed was reflected in Jianhao's golden eyes, it was already early morning.Mihawk has long been used to the twilight at night, and he silently looked at the quiet station that had fallen asleep for a while.

...The redhead should be asleep, right?With the headache of drinking too much, I don't know if I am having a dream.

After all, he was familiar with it before, and Da Jianhao easily guessed someone's current state.

The dense night makes everything quiet, and the sound of the waves passing by is exceptionally clear, making people's emotions involuntarily stable.Suddenly, Mihawk lost interest - coming to Shanks was just a vain mood, and in this situation, it was meaningless to wake up that person.

After a brief silence, Mihawk turned the bow of the boat silently, and sailed back in the direction of Marie Gioia—it was just a sudden whim. Obsessed with a meeting?

(Note: This plot of visiting but not seeing each other was originally plagiarized from the ancients, and the allusion comes from "Shi Shuo Xin Yu".

"Prince You lived in the shade of the mountain. It was snowing heavily at night, sleeping, and drinking wine in the open room. He looked around brightly. Because of hesitation, he chanted Zuo Si Zhao Yin's poems. Suddenly recalled Dai'an Tao. When he was in Shan, he even took a small boat at night. .Passing by Su Fang arrived, built a gate and returned without going forward. When people asked why, the king said: "I used to travel when I was excited, and returned when I was exhausted. Why do I need to see Dai?""

This is my favorite passage in the whole "Shishuoxinyu", but although I borrowed this line... I think the "not meeting each other" of Uncle Ying in the story is quite different from the "not meeting each other" of the ancients .It was a kind of Uncle Ying's mood that I had conceived but couldn't directly describe in words. I wonder if I can convey it by borrowing such an allusion.

In short, he traveled across the ocean day and night for him, but not to see him... really entangled with OTZ

Another: Regarding whether Perona left Kuragana Island to find Moria, it was not mentioned in the OP's original work.In this article, in order to pave the way for Uncle Ying's mood, he pretended to be wearing loli and left.Well, if in the future OP plot, everyone finds that Peloli and Uncle Ying are still together... then it will be regarded as she went to sea to find Moria but couldn't find it, so she went back to Kulaijiana again OTZ)
