Happiness is a virus, and you will be infected when your immunity to the happiness virus is weak.
Of course this is just a joke, contagious happiness is often only one kind of happiness.
purely.
Robin did not announce his arrival loudly, but silently took a blue drink from the neat table not far away. He smelled it and found that it smelled of alcohol. He hesitated and picked it up. Then he chose a fairly neat corner to sit down with a smile on his face.
While sipping the drink, he looked at the playful Luffy and others with a smile.
The alcohol in the drink slowly affected his mind, and Robin felt a little dizzy.
She didn't like this feeling. This dizziness made her who was used to dangerous environments feel very uneasy. Otherwise, she wouldn't like coffee and tea. The refreshing drinks here were just to keep her mind clear and to be effective. Just reading.
"Yo ho ho, Miss Robin is finally here."
Brooke walked over to Robin.
"Oh, Mr. Skull, I remember it was called Brooke, right, Mr. Brooke."
"Oh, oh, oh, it's such an honor to remember your name. This is a great party, won't you join Miss Robin?"
Robin smiled and shook his head, "I don't really like noisy environments, although it's nice occasionally. By the way, is that thing on you... okay?"
Bu Li fumbled along Robin's fingers, and then caught a chopstick in the nostril of his skull. "Well, I tried Mr. Luffy's dance just now, but... I forgot that I am already a skeleton~yohohohoho~"
He is really a guy who is easily infected by the atmosphere.
Robin added a mental comment to Brooke.
These guys became casual after coming into contact with the straw hats. Everyone's expressions became exaggerated. What are they doing? Are they performing facial arts?
Shaking his head, Robin felt a little funny. Anyway, I would never make such an outrageous expression. unless……
Forehead……
No unless!
"Robinson~"
Brooke suddenly sat next to Robin, looking at the people playing at the banquet with the same gaze as Robin, and there seemed to be light in the dark eye holes.
"You are a little different from them~"
"?!"
Robin glanced at Brooke unexpectedly. Although it was difficult to see much emotion on Brooke's skeleton, she also put some labels on this person based on Brooke's behavior.
Very emotional, very simple guy.
Robin didn't speak, so Brooke continued, "Luffy and the others are the kind of people who like to be around each other, but Robin-san hides far away, like..."
Brooke thought about the metaphor for a while and finally tilted his head and said, "It's like, like a deer around a campfire at night who wants to move forward but doesn't dare."
Robin was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Really, what a strange metaphor this is."
Not a deer...
But a moth covered in poisonous powder...
"Hey, Brooke, can you do it again, Binx!"
Brooke jumped up and stood up excitedly, "I am extremely happy. Sir Luffy."
"Robin is back too! Let's dance together!"
Robin waved his hand, "I'll forget it, I don't like this very much."
Luffy nodded, "That's right, forget it." He stretched out his hand and wrapped it around Brooke, "Brooke, come on, let's do the music!"
There is another hall not far from the banquet hall, but it is not a celebration banquet like Luffy and the others, but a criticism meeting.
Locke sat casually in the center of the hall, surrounded by hundreds of people sitting in the outer circle and staring.
Locke nodded and took a deep breath.
"So disappointing!"
Locke
Your rich voice seemed to burst everyone's eardrums, and just listening to the voice made people tremble.
"Although this is just a trial and cannot be fatal, it is not a playground. What do you think of this final war trial?! What do you think of a war?!"
Locke's gaze was like a sharp blade piercing through everyone he glanced at.
"I told you to have the consciousness of death, but not the consciousness of dying in vain. But what are you doing? Playing and fighting? It's so disappointing."
Everyone lowered their heads in shame.
Perhaps it was because there was no danger of death, and because everyone was acquaintances, even though the importance of this trial was repeatedly stated beforehand, everyone invariably relaxed after it actually started.
"Raise your head, what's the matter? It's just a little criticism! Stand up for me, you bastards! You are warriors. What warriors need is fearless courage and a backbone that won't collapse. I'm wrong. Remember me. You are here, you are lazy, you can make it up for me, but your spine is broken, then you can get out of here!"
Locke's words were very serious, but the real core of his speech was not about the right or wrong of the trial. The trial was originally meant for everyone to warm up and relax a little, and the beating was to help them return to their state of shame.
(Actually, it is the routine of the class teacher. In the first lesson after the holiday, the holiday homework is criticized first. However, in fact, the holiday homework is of little significance. The core is to return the students' attention to their studies, commonly known as retracting their attention. Although it is always pa Means, but used in a good direction.)
It's not enough if you don't accept it. It's not enough to fight together, and Long's revolutionary army is in front to shoulder the blame. But since you want to jump out, the blame will naturally return to yourself, and then "Lan" will suddenly double the pressure. , he must get everyone from the previous training state to the actual combat state. If this is not possible, there are many vivid examples among the revolutionary army.
Either they become flesh on the battlefield, or they lose control of life and death in their hands.
Until it was really about to start all this, Locke discovered that the "Lan" organization's savings were still so meager. Behind security, it meant that materials, manpower, and sneaky development could not be made public. After all, there is a limit, and this limit It has also been raised because the elder sisters left such a piece of land on Kongdao. If there were no Kongdao and the "Lan" organization only developed in Qinghai, it would have encountered a bottleneck a few years ago and could not develop. In that case, "Lan" will have no choice but to rely more on the revolutionary army, or risk being exposed and expand in advance.
Thinking of this, Locke took a deep breath.
"Go back and reflect on where you went wrong! Disband."
Everyone dispersed, but the captains and brothers in the inner circle did not leave.
"Brother, there are some recent abnormal reports, and the navy's large-scale personnel transfer has begun."
Locke nodded, "This is just the preliminary mobilization. Manaka's war mobilization has not yet begun. That's when the real turmoil will begin."
"Do you want to spread the news?"
Locke thought for a moment, but frowned. After thinking for a long time, he rejected the proposal in a serious tone. "Shirlock, don't think about this kind of slyness! You know what I mean!"
Shilok nodded guiltily and spread the news. In fact, he was inciting pirates. The navy's large-scale deployment will inevitably cause problems in coastal defense in many places. If the navy conducts it in secret and adds some cover-ups, then most pirates with slow intelligence will be It's hard to detect for a long time. Even if you are aware of it, you still need to test the navy's reality again and again. You must know that the pirates on the ninth floor are not good people. They are all life-loving fanatics and will not provoke them before they have a high degree of confidence. navy.
And that's not all.
The second problem is that pirates are often very confident if they attack the navy. If the pirates succeed, then a sea area will fall into chaos. If many sea areas around the world are in chaos, then the entire sea area will also be in chaos. But this also means that a large number of ordinary people will be attacked by pirates, and the sea will become a paradise for pirates in a short period of time.
Spreading information at this time can indeed create chaos and greatly interfere with the world government and navy.
power, but the corresponding price is also extremely huge.
At this time, the Revolutionary Army was probably aware of the anomalies in the Navy and the World Government, but the Revolutionary Army still did not take any action. In fact, the Revolutionary Army may even be preparing to briefly join forces with the Navy to resist possible pirate riots.
Spreading this information is both a clever plan and a poisonous plan.
It is feasible for the "Lan" organization, but not desirable.
However, Sirocco still insists on this. Chaos is inevitable. Chaos has been doomed since the navy and the world government began to recruit elites. The result is nothing more than whether Whitebeard will go to Marinevando and die in the next plan. What happened just now.
If the navy wins, it can deter the pirates and quickly control the chaos afterwards.
And the navy failed... The world will usher in a gluttonous feast of pirates, and the world will also usher in the most chaotic era.
A large number of low-level personnel in the "Arashi" organization are almost all wandering around the world as pirates. The era of pirates will also make "Arashi" more smooth.
"Hylok, put away those thoughts, the world does not need pirates! Although we are pirates, don't forget our purpose! Pirates are just temporary identities! Our purpose is not to become pirates, but to eliminate pirates. thief!"
Locke noticed the resistance in Shilok's eyes and probably guessed what Shilok was thinking.
The most timid person among Sirok, when he escaped, the boat was actually guarded by Sirok. He hid in the corner and ran first.
And after gaining a certain level of strength, he often does things without any scruples.
Locke felt that if he had not become Sister Tou's subordinate in the first place, then once Sirocco gained strength, he would definitely be a cancerous tycoon on the sea. And this was another reason why he kept Shilok in Xihai.
Because of his cowardly but unscrupulous way of survival, he can survive in the West Sea, and his own character will only gradually become the public enemy of the West Sea pirates. This is a case in point.
Shilok didn't expect Locke to care so much about this matter. He thought about it and finally sighed, "I understand, brother."
Seeing Shilok giving up, Locke breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the others.
"The trial has come to an end, and I will personally make adjustments to the rest. Laxus, I am most at ease with you. I will leave it to you to lead the team to lurk and observe in Shampoo. You and Denos will also Together with Laxus."
Elman is too upright and not suitable for flexible work. Even with Coco's assistance, it is difficult to operate spiritually, so he stayed with him on the empty island to train the soldiers and prepare for the "Twilight" operation.
There are not many things to do, the main thing is to make more detailed task assignments for things that have been decided at the original meeting, and this is also an adjustment based on the situation of Guangyu's trial that Sister Kona gave him.
After doing this, Locke returned to his iron room alone, picked up a ten-ton weight and started squatting.
"Lockel..."
Locke didn't look back, "What's wrong with Tasia?"
Tasia raised her glasses and said, "Lockel... you are a bit... a bit..."
"I know!" Tasia didn't say it, but Locke already understood. "I'm anxious, but...how can I not be anxious. I was excited when I first learned about the elder sister's plan. , excited to finally get started.”
"But... when I calmed down and thought about the rest, the excitement faded away, leaving only tension and anxiety in my heart. As you know, we have not fought any major battles. Although the scattered battles have accumulated for the soldiers, Confidence, but it is also a kind of arrogance. In war and on the battlefield, arrogance is the most deadly sword!"
"..." Tasia was silent for a few seconds, then took two steps forward and stretched out her hands.
Rocker:! ?
His hand passed across Locke's back, passed through the armpits supported by muscles, and pressed against the steel-like chest.
"Locker, calm down, you have done enough
alright. "
Tasia's head was buried on Locke's back, and the mosquito-like sound resonated along her body for Locke to hear.
For some reason, Locke felt that his body suddenly relaxed a little at this moment.
Locke was silent for a long time.
"not enough!"
"I know! But..." "This is not your career alone!"
Locke felt something cold behind his back.
"Lockel, I have followed you for so many years. From Qinghai to Kongdao, I have been watching you all the way." "Always..."
"I don't know what your brother was like when he was traveling around the world, but I can see your growth along the way to the Grand Route to the Sky Island. From the beginning when you only knew how to be brave to the person you are now, I... can see it all. "Look, Rocker, haven't you noticed yet, before you know it, you have carried too much on your shoulders!"
"..."
"Locker!"
Tasia suddenly let go of Locke and walked around in front of him in two steps.
Her eyes were a little moist, but there seemed to be fire in them.
"Snapped!"
"Please wake up, idiot!" "Whether it's a war or a battle, you are not alone. Don't do all our things!"
"Tasia..."
Locke looked at the woman in front of him in confusion, but a string seemed to be plucked in his heart. His hand slowly rose up involuntarily and touched his cheek, gently brushing away the moisture from his cheek.
The ice is cold, but a little hot.
Outside the room, Laxus and Denos were sitting on the eaves.
"Tch, my sister-in-law beat me to it~"
Laxus said this, but he was not unhappy at all, but rather relaxed and happy.
He had long noticed that something was wrong with his eldest brother Locke, and it was only after the attack just now that he made up his mind to come and enlighten him, but he did not expect that someone would get in first.
"Hehehehe, third brother, do you think my sister-in-law will finally get her wish tonight?!" Denos' smile was a little lewd, and he probably didn't have anything in mind.
Laxus rolled his eyes.
"Idiot~"
"Hey, you're talking seriously, why are you belittling me all of a sudden?"
Laxus rolled his eyes again, "Don't think about it too much. Brother..."
Denok looked confused, "Isn't that right? I'm so embarrassed by this straight shot, and my eldest brother didn't react at all?"
Laxus shook his head helplessly, "Hey, sister-in-law, this is so difficult~"
The result was almost as Laxus expected. Rocker and Tasia fell asleep hugging each other that night.
Nothing was done.
