Chapter 360: Relationship
New World, Totto Land.
"Who are these two?"
Baby-5 saw Leiyin return with two people, especially seeing the shapely Ain, like she had seen Hancock before, instinctively felt a threat.
"They are my classmates in the marine headquarters youth training camp, and then joined Teacher Zephyr's guerrilla team..."
Leiyin told the original story of the two men to Baby-5 and Hancock. Baby-5 was kind-hearted and did not care about Ain's existence, and actually shed tears before their tragic experience, while also expressing willingness to accept them.
Hancock saw the situation and did not say anything.
Leiyin gathered the officers together and took out the topography of the Road Poneglyp retrieved from Zou, "Together with the piece of Big Mom, we now have two pieces of rRoad Poneglyp in our hands, even if all the text is collected, no one among us can decipher these words. So, I want everyone to think of any clues."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChief of Staff Clavin said, "I heard that previously [Ohara] was an island where elite archaeologists gathered and had been studying ancient Poneglyp. The Government was afraid that they would crack the text and uncover the secrets of the world, so they launched the [Demon Slaying Order] more than ten years ago, I think there must be survivors left, right?"
Vice Captain Darius said, "After all, so much time has passed, I'm afraid there is no way to verify whether there are any survivors, right?"
Vice Chief of Staff Vasco Shot replied, "If there were no archaeologists, these words would be like heavenly books to us."
At this moment, Ain's beautiful eyes widened and stood up suddenly, "I know... I know of an Ohara survivor."
The crowd smiled and looked at the young girl who had just arrived.
Leiyin also looked straight at her, "Ain, then tell us."
"[Devil Child] Nico Robin, at the age of eight years old, she has been offered a bounty of 79 million Belly. She is a survivor of Ohara. A few months ago, before Teacher Zephyr had conspired to destroy pirates, we overheard his whereabouts and Teacher was about to lead the army to capture Robin. Just later teacher was eager to destroy the volcanic lake and kill all the pirates of the New World, so he also gave up the plan to capture Robin."
Leiyin eyes become bright, "So, where is she now?"
Ain said, "She is in the West Blue... but that's information from a few months ago..."
"Nico Robin?" Leiyin smiled and rubbed his chin, murmured secretly. Familiar with anime, he certainly knows Robin. If Ain said so, he felt that the matter would have a brow.
Leiyin went over and patted Ain's shoulder, "Thank you, this information is very important to me."
After learning this information, Leiyin had a plan in mind...
In the afternoon, Ain asked Leiyin out alone.
"You collect [Road Poneglyph], do you want to become a Pirate King?"
Leiyin smiled, "Of course, if there is such a good opportunity, why not give it a try?"
Hearing this, Ain sighed, "I really envy you, there is such a great dream, since teacher was killed, I feel that I live has no goal."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHearing this, Leiyin face smile closed u,: "What silly things are you saying, you are still very young, there is still your own path to go. No matter how good your relationship with Teacher Zephyr is, you still have to have your own life after all, why should you keep trusting your life to others?"
After Leiyin finished, Ain's beautiful eyes were thoughtful, as if slightly moved.
"You just live here with us, as I said before, time can make you slowly forget all the hurt. Even if you can't find a purpose for your life here, at the very least, we have to go to [Laugh Tale]'s together, don't we?"
Hearing these words, Ain's expression became slightly lighter, "Thank you, Leiyin."
Once upon a time in the youth training camp, when Leiyin was still a new recruit, Ain was very nice to him. So now when he saw Ain's despondent and disappointed look, Leiyin also wanted to pull her out of the abyss of her mind and do his best to comfort her.
Suddenly, Ain's cheeks became flushed, and she didn't say anything, quietly walked over and gently leaned her head on Leiyin's arms. Just like before when she left the youth training camp and said goodbye to Leiyin (Chapter 59), Leiyin did not refuse and allowed her to lean on her like this.
All of a sudden, the whole world seemed to become incomparably quiet.
After a while, Ain left Leiyin's arms and ran away with a twist of the head.
Leiyin stood still, what was the relationship between himself and Ain? Comrades? I don't think so. Friends? I can't say...
Leiyin sighed and looked up at the sky, feeling confused for the first time...
