Novel Star Chapter 527 The Winter is Coming
Chapter 527 The Winter is Coming
They were obviously on the same ship, but Anne appeared less and less.
First there was the absence of regular daily training, then there was meal time.
In the end, no one could even see her for three to five days.
She almost lives in the laboratory, and there are endless meetings and endless research every day.
His eyes were completely green and black, and his originally clear sapphire eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes.
The brows are getting tighter and tighter, the gray hair is increasing day by day, and there is no smile on the face.
The whole person's breath has also become cold, and it has completely lost its former vitality and liveliness.
With such an obvious change, no one would be able to notice it.I can probably guess the reason.
However, in the matter of the Revolutionary War, they seemed to have no way to provide Anne with any help.
The atmosphere on the ship is becoming increasingly dull, and everyone can only focus on training and trying to improve their strength.
The situation is becoming increasingly chaotic, and the revolutionary army's land military bases have fallen one after another.
Countless compatriots were killed and injured, and even innocent civilians were massacred together.
Everyone in Higali knew that it was the World Government that was warning, demonstrating, and provoking.
Winter is approaching, and war will spread to the world at any time.
The night is as cool as water, and a crescent moon hangs high above the night. The hazy moonlight pours on the dark sea, seeming to coat the sea with a layer of gauze.
A group of people sat neatly in a row on the crossbar, with their feet dangling in the air.
"what???"
"You want to leave???"
"Annie, are you kidding me?"
"Can you say that again?"
Luffy squatted on the beam of the mast angrily, looking at Annie in disbelief.
"Annie, don't say such things!"
"I disagree!"
"I don't agree either!"
"We are a team! Why separate?"
"Whatever you want to do, we can go with you!"
"That's right!"
"Annie, you can't..."
"This decision is too hasty!"
Everyone's reaction was exactly the same as Luffy's. Their bodies froze and they all turned to look at Annie sitting in the middle.
"I'm not joking."
Annie twitched the corners of her mouth, her pale face almost transparent under the cool moonlight.
The sea was very cold at night, and the night wind carried the smell of the sea and whizzed past them.
Even though he was wrapped in a thick blanket, he still couldn't stop the biting cold.
Annie put her arms around herself and forced a smile at Luffy.
"I'm just leaving for a while, Captain."
"no!"
"What are we going to do when you leave?"
Luffy frowned, with a hint of anger in his brows.
"We are all a team!"
"Our voyage is not yet complete!"
"We're going to land in Ravdru together!"
He raised his hands and waved them, his eyes filled with confusion and uneasiness.
"That's right, Anne, you can't do this."
"Didn't you say that we are a team, individual heroism is not allowed, everything must be shared..."
A hand reached out from the blanket and gently touched the top of Luffy's head.
The slender white palms rubbed back and forth on the soft black short hair, trying to calm Luffy's excited emotions.
"Don't worry, Captain, and everyone."
"I understand what you said."
She still smiled gently and her tone was neither urgent nor slow.
"But Luffy, just as Raph Drew is your destination, I also have an destination to reach."
"The current situation no longer allows me to accompany you any longer."
"Higali is like a child I raised with one hand. It struggled to survive, from a toddler to a staggering run."
"It is the blood and belief of all our revolutionaries."
"Now we have reached the most serious time. The war is about to break out. No one knows which partners will die in front of us tomorrow."
"In their eyes, I am the forerunner of the revolution! I am the guide holding a torch."
"It is a solid backing, a source of strength and emotional sustenance."
So, I have to go back!We must take the lead, we must share life and death, and we must face the behemoth hiding in the darkness with them! "
Even, fight together until the last moment!
She didn't say the last words.
The Straw Hats all fell silent.
They also all know that no one can beat Anne when it comes to being reasonable.
However, it is obvious that we have reached the final stage...
"Then let's go to Lovedrew first, and then go back with you, can't we?"
Luffy pouted, his tone somewhat resentful.
"Didn't you say that the last text of the road sign is in Shanks' hands?"
"As long as we defeat him, we can go to Ravdru!"
"Let's go find Shanks tomorrow!"
The wet dog's eyes instantly sparkled with brilliance. He gently shook his furry head and rubbed against Annie's palm, just like a spoiled puppy.
Luffy had known that Annie wouldn't be able to hold herself back from acting like a spoiled brat, or that this trick would never work on anyone in the Straw Hats.
"Annie~"
"Annie Anne~"
The ending sounds are dragged out a thousand times, coupled with the pair of puppy eyes full of hope, it is really overwhelming.
However, Anne's decision this time was also a decision she made after analyzing the current situation and situation and carefully considering it.
"Luffy, I'm serious."
Annie rubbed his head, ran her slender white fingers through the soft and smooth black hair, and slowly retracted into the blanket.
Annie looked at Luffy steadily, the firmness and determination in her eyes made Luffy's heart tremble inexplicably.
Perhaps because he can 'hear the sounds of all things', Luffy has always been very sensitive to emotions.
Just like this moment, he clearly felt Anne's heart.
I understood the hesitation, hesitation, sadness, and urgency in her heart, and finally everything became calm again.
He also felt Anne's determination and knew that she had already made her decision and would never waver.
Having been partners for so long, he understood what Anne wanted.
"I see."
"Luffy!!!"
Everyone exclaimed in unison.
Luffy slowly raised his left hand and slowly placed it on his beating heart.
"Luffy, wait!"
"us..."
"I agreed!"
Luffy interrupted several people.
He looked at Anne with deep eyes.
"Annie, how can we help you?"
Annie smiled softly.
"You guys are the most important part."
A biting night wind blew by, and Annie, wrapped in a blanket, shivered unconsciously.
Zoro, who had been silently holding his hands next to him, saw this scene and frowned.
He slowly moved his body closer to the trembling Anne, stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, and put his generous palm against her forehead.
Although it was night, the island they were anchored on was Qiu Island, and the temperature was not too low.
Why is Anne so cold?
There is no fever, and the skin temperature is even a little cool.
He wasn't sure whether he had a fever or not, so he turned his attention to Chopper.
Chopper, who was still immersed in grief, didn't notice this scene. It was Merry who poked him in the elbow before he came to his senses.
Annie was obedient and did not resist their actions. After Chopper finished the inspection with a sullen face and declared that Annie's body was fine, Zoro felt relieved.
Annie leaned back, her upper body nestled in Zoro's arms, and her furry head pressed against the crook of his neck.
After nuzzling in his arms and finding a comfortable position, Annie slowly spoke.
"War will soon break out and all revolutionaries will join, including all of Higali's allies."
"Although I hope that all non-member countries can stand on our side, there is no binding interest or consistent goal, and no one is willing to get involved in this muddy water."
"The risk is too great, so protecting yourself wisely is their first choice."
"In the past few confrontations, I vaguely noticed that the world government attaches great importance to the fourth historical text monument."
"They don't want anyone to board Ravdru, so they've been pressuring Shanks to hand over the stele to the World Government for safekeeping."
"If it weren't for the strength of the Red Haired Pirates, and Shanks..."
Anne paused.
"On the current ocean, the only ones with the qualifications and strength to reach the final island are us and Red Hair."
"The goal is clear, and the world government will naturally not let us go easily."
"According to their usual style, when both us and the Red-haired Pirates suffer losses, it is probably the time for them to sit back and enjoy their gains."
"So, we must contain the world government so that they have no time to be distracted and take care of other things."
"Moreover, their recent little moves have never stopped."
"We, Higali, are not going to tolerate it any longer."
"There will be a battle sooner or later anyway. It is better to take the initiative than to defend passively."
Anne tightened the blanket around her body and continued.
"Enter Raffdrew, there is the truth about everything."
"The earthquake caused by that truth was probably enough to turn Mariejoia upside down."
"I want to make this truth known to the world. I want all the people who have been bullied by the world government to unite, take up arms, and participate in this revolution to defeat the world government and change the world."
"I want to comply with public opinion, I want to be famous as a teacher, I want the world to be united, and I want to unite as one!"
"So everyone..."
Anne swept everyone's attention one by one.
“You must defeat the Red-haired Pirates, obtain the fourth stone tablet, find the coordinates, and board Ravdru.
"Then, make everything you see known to the world."
Annie's eyes finally collided with Luffy's.
"Luffy, that time is when you become king!"
"And I have to go to the front and wait for you."
There was silence.
Robin frowned slightly, tapping his arms erratically with his fingers on his chest.
Although all of Anne's arrangements sounded very reasonable, she always felt a little inconsistent in her heart.
This feeling passed so quickly that she couldn't catch it at all.
Luffy's face was a little solemn, and his eyes moved slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
"In short, our mission is the top priority, right?"
Usopp hammered his hand on his palm and concluded his speech.
"Yes."
Annie nodded.
"In other words, I am not leaving the team temporarily, but we are fighting separately."
"When your mission is completed, you can come and join me!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard what she said.
"But isn't Anne going to Lovedrew?"
"It's obviously the last trip, so it's a pity that I can't go."
"We are a team and should land on the island together."
"That's what I say, but that's Annie's dream, isn't it?"
"Compared with climbing to Ravdru, of course realizing one's ideals is the most important thing!"
"That's right!"
"In this case, we will definitely complete the mission!"
"Yeah, we need to help too."
"Annie, how do you know that the truth about everything is there?"
Robin spoke softly.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then all turned to look at Annie.
"Yes, Annie, how did you know?"
"Besides the truth, is there anything else there? Is the big secret treasure there? Are there a lot of treasures?"
"Do you already know what the truth is?"
Annie shook her head.
"Uncle Whitebeard once mentioned it to me."
"Roger and Ralph Drew had a long conversation all night long after he came back."
"Uncle Whitebeard probably knows what's on it, but he didn't tell me."
"All he said was, let's go and see for ourselves."
"He also said that all the mysteries in the world will be solved there."
"Since the end of our voyage is there, we naturally have to explore the secrets ourselves."
Anne lowered her eyelids and trembled her eyelashes.
"In so many years, only the Roger Pirates have arrived there, but not a single bit of news about it has been revealed."
"Roger started the Age of Discovery at his own expense."
"He wants everyone to go find the great secret treasure and find the final island."
"He is not a vicious and cruel person. Instead, he is rational, decisive, courageous and resourceful."
"He would never do anything pointless."
"Coupled with the fact that the world government is strictly guarding it, I have reason to suspect that there is all the truth there."
"About the blank 100 years ago, about the legendary liberation fighters, about the huge kingdom, about Joyboy..."
Everyone nodded.
They would never doubt Anne's words, because her deductions were correct nine times out of ten.
"I see!"
"Sounds reasonable!"
"So, our mission is to dig out the secret as soon as possible and tell everyone?"
"A truth that could turn Mariejoia upside down? It sounds terrible!"
"It seems that the fourth text of the road sign is imminent!"
"Annie, don't worry, we will definitely get the fourth stone tablet as soon as possible!"
"Okay! Brothers! Let's go fight with the red-haired pirates tomorrow!"
"Oh!!!"
After everyone responded in unison reflexively, they seemed to have come back to their senses.
"Wait? So fast? I...I'm not mentally prepared yet..."
"Speaking of..."
"Usopp, isn't the sniper of the red-haired pirates your father? Then aren't you going to kill your son and your father soon?"
"Hey! You know how to use words when a father and son are fighting each other?"
Usopp jumped on Franky, and the two rolled into a ball.
"Speaking of which, the chef of the red-haired pirates is a strong individual artist, right?"
"I heard that their musician has a pet, a monkey! They can also fight together, Doctor Chopper, how about you and me..."
"Asshole! I'm not a pet!"
The offended fawn swooped down and bit Brooke's slender leg bone.
"Ah, it hurts, it hurts~ I was wrong, I was wrong~"
Everyone's conversation gradually got sidetracked, and no one was bothered about Annie's temporary departure from the team anymore.
After all, Luffy and Annie, the two people with the most say, have already made their decisions.
What's more, each of them knows exactly what Anne's dream is.
