Aironi

Chapter 13

.Can't hide it from anyone, Sanji is not his own chef.The Straw Hat House and its party are really lucky.

[18. The sandy land with fire and rain]

Luo and Sanji asked the direction and left the rose garden. They will cross a terrible sandy land to find a poet named Mayenissa on the distant plain.When I looked back for the last time, the blooming roses in the garden were so far away that I could no longer see them clearly, but those patches of fiery red were always warm and wild, all the colors of life.

The blond man fell into silence after leaving the garden, walking casually while biting a cigarette.Since he came here, he has been preparing cooking, or sorting out information from other worlds, and his brain has not stopped. Now that he has enough time, he can no longer ignore the mistakes he has made.

How can I doubt a Lady? !This is simply unforgivable!

The shadows of the surrounding plants quickly faded away, and the land gradually approached the desert, with a large area of ​​dark yellow gravel spreading under the feet.The temperature is getting hotter and hotter, reminding Sanji of the Alabasta desert that he once walked through.But no change of thought at the moment could alleviate his guilt for even a second.

"I... shouldn't have doubted Lady."

"That's not your intention." Luo knew how the chef in the Straw Hat Pirates treated the lady.This is not difficult to obtain information, regardless of the navy or pirates, they are very famous among many people, and even become a breakthrough that can be used severely in battle.

"It was her choice, too. You should be thankful that your change means her efforts were not in vain."

Although he knew that a large part of the reason why he said this was to make himself look away, Sanji still felt that his chest was tight.This can't fool anyone. "If we can move faster at that time, then we can..."

"No, it's not like this, Blackfoot House," the doctor cut off his words, "if you are marked by a foreign world, you can't leave it anymore. And," he paused, turning his head to look seriously at the blond People, "If there is no if, there will be no if."

This is the truth, cold and cruel.Sanji is certainly not that naive, let alone that unrealistic.He naturally knew that everything was over, and it was useless to say anything else.But Sanji soon found another thing that made him care. "... What do you mean by being marked by another world?"

"Literally. Dolls, Gabriel House, Penguin House, and the poet's house we are going to find next, are all marked people. Regardless of life or death, they cannot leave the alien world they are in. This is why they know how to open the passage, but they will not leave. To give you an example that you are not unfamiliar with, if you and I fail to leave Yoda Anja before twelve o'clock, we will also be marked—— Become a puppet—stay in that place forever.”

Sanji raised his eyes and stared at him, as if looking at some kind of alien creature. "Where did you know these things?!"

"When you are working hard to prepare the dishes, of course I have to do a little more. Is this fair?" When he said this, the doctor slightly raised the corner of his mouth.

Sanji could hear a little joking tone, that person was using this method to relax himself.Thanks to these few words, the previously depressed mood has improved a lot.Even if it doesn't disappear completely, at least it won't make me nervous all the time, like a thorn in my throat like a thorn in my back.

He clenched the cigarette in his mouth. "The culprit... is that damn thing called Ayroni?"

"Yes."

Sanji took a deep breath. "I won't let it go."

Seeing the blue eyes of the blond man looking at him calmly, Luo knew that the man had made up his mind. "That's exactly what I want to say, Blackfoot House."

The last vegetation also disappears behind.At this moment, the environment they were in became desolate.Stones, desert, and gravel make up the scene in front of you.Going forward is the real test. "Hell Sand" is not just a simple way to describe it.

This desert is simply raining golden-red flames.The thick and bright red clouds in the sky are the birthplace of the flames.In the eyes of ordinary people, this is simply death, but in the eyes of Sanji and Luo, this is just a trivial matter.One of the two of them said "how can you be a cook if you are afraid of fire" since they were young, and the other has been an undercover agent for so long on an island with extreme ice and fire like Punk Hazard. inside?

"You can reach the border of the grassland through this sandy land. The poet's house lives on the grassland, but you have to find out where it is."

"Hurry up." Saying this, the blond man quickened his pace and rushed directly into the sandy ground where the fire and rain were raging.

Seeing that the brilliant golden color drew an arc in the flames in a flash, avoiding all the falling flames perfectly, Luo couldn't help admiring inwardly.Even if he was himself, he probably couldn't find such a perfect passage from these fine lines of fire without hesitation.

In fact, this didn't bother them too much. The area of ​​the sand where the fire and rain fell was not too large.Even Luo's abilities didn't need to be used, and the two of them relied on their extraordinary eyesight and reflexes to choose those open spaces without flames to settle down.Even if the route was slightly detoured, the general direction would not go wrong, and this desert called "Hell Sands" was quickly left behind by them.

The scene changes rapidly in the blink of an eye, and the boundary between the sandy land and the grassland is a clear line.They quickly set foot on the soft meadow, and felt that the whole world was new.The smell of green grass filled the air, and the temperature was no longer frighteningly hot but very pleasant.The breeze whipped up waves on the meadow.There is no indication of the poet's place of residence, they can only see it with their eyes.The vigorous growth of plants seems to represent the vitality, but apart from the plants, there is no fresh life here.

Nobody can stay in one place all the time, so they had to walk aimlessly on the grassland, trying their luck.Thanks to the lack of other moving things in this place, as long as it can move, it must be a poet.

But when was it going to find that guy, searching inch by inch across the prairie like this?

The blond man suddenly jumped from the spot, and jumped into the sky after a few ups and downs on the moon steps.It's better to search for a perspective from a high place, but unfortunately nothing was found.He jumped back to the ground and shook his head at Luo.The two continued to walk forward.After that, it was the same process. After walking a certain distance, Sanji jumped into the air to search for it, and moved forward if he didn't find it.It has been repeated many times, and it is obvious that the grassland is many times wider than the previous sandy land.At this moment, the two of them are surrounded by endless green, and finally, an unusual thing appears at the end of their line of sight...

It was a hut made of thatch.

[20. Sinking Venice]

The wind raged around them.Sanji only felt that Luo's footsteps were fast and slow, as if he was avoiding something rather than walking in the strong wind.But the wind was so strong that he couldn't ask at all, so he had to follow him blindly and wait until everything was over.Anyway... just follow along honestly.Is it good or bad to go on without thinking like this?He found he couldn't find the answer.

After walking like this for a long time, the front suddenly settled down.The terrible wind also disappeared.It's a whole new world in front of you.Sensing that the space has stabilized, it should have entered Pandu, the doctor quickly let go of his hand.Probably there is a little nostalgia, but observing the new environment at this moment is much more important than feeling each other's body temperature.

Only then did the two realize that they were standing on a thin bridge.Looking behind, it turned out to be a bridge that couldn't see the border.Apparently the passage opened in the middle of the bridge.At the end of the bridge they were facing was a town built on the lake.The sapphire blue lake flows through the high and low scattered buildings, bright and beautiful.

"It looks very peaceful." Sanji looked at the scene in front of him from top to bottom, left to right.

"All peace is just an illusion." Luo shook his head, "The Poet's House said that there is a struggle here all the time."

"What are you fighting for? It obviously looks very stable."

"Stability is only on the surface. As long as it wants, any other world can perish at any time."

Sanji thought of another mirror-blue lake, that alien world accompanied by the Lady, under the double attack of severe cold and ice meteors, it was shattered before his eyes.It was a haunting nightmare.The blond man gritted his teeth and clenched his fists little by little.No matter what, I want to prevent such a disaster from happening again.But whether it can be done is still unknown, and even all the people here may disappear with Ayroni in another world.If it really turns into such an ending, will my heart of wanting to destroy Aironi be shaken by it?

"Blackfoot House."

Luo's voice brought him back to his senses.

"These alien worlds must be destroyed, if you and the Straw Hat House want to move on." Those dark golden eyes seemed to have seen through all of Sanji's thoughts, looking over without any concealment, and in an instant All his thoughts burned through, "What's more, if you
