One Piece's Life

Chapter 178 A belated letter

Back to half an hour ago, in a luxurious residence, a figure was lying on a balcony somewhere. Lazy Lily was enjoying the warm sunshine. Lily was experiencing a feeling that she had not experienced in a long time. When we were on the Karoo, everyone's clothes were placed in a corner on the deck to dry. The Karoo did not have a decent balcony.

In the past, when Lily lay on the deck, Lily would not feel very comfortable if it were not for the sea breeze. Now, Lily, who had her chin resting on her hands, had closed her eyes. Lily thought back to the words Aunt Louise said to herself last night. The words with something in them... reminded Lily of the past many years ago...

Lily thinks that Owen, who has never met his father...maybe he has already asked himself in his heart: Where is his father? Why is his father not here? What does his father look like?

Louise didn't seem to care about anything... Lily couldn't guess her thoughts. Lily always felt that Aunt Louise had many stories, and there might be words that were difficult to tell under her beautiful appearance. A woman who can become the center of attention wherever she goes...what is she worried about...

Just when Lily was lying on the balcony and was about to fall asleep, Lily's ears swayed slightly. Lily heard movement from a distance, and Lily's nose also smelled the scent of those two idiots. Lily slowly opened her eyes and yawned. Lily stood up slowly and stretched. Lily, who was still sleepy, looked at a room behind her.

Lily, who was lightly bouncing on her feet, glanced at her hands for a few times. Lily noticed that the hair on her body was not messy. Lily, who squinted her eyes, walked towards the room where Serara was staying. Half a minute later, Lily opened the door and saw Serala eating a plate of biscuits. Lily walked softly to Serala. Lily smiled and said: "Selala, come with me to go out and take a look. Your idiot brother is coming to us, of course...and idiot Klaus is also here, let's go out and greet them."

When Serala, who was still eating cookies, heard that Xiuzi and Klaus were coming, Serala, who was sitting on a small chair, thought to herself: Damn it, why did the idiot brother come here? Serala hasn’t had enough fun yet. Why did he come to pick up Serara so early? And... wasn't he looking for the blond man? Why did he have time to come here? Wait, he didn't seem to know that Serara and Sister Lily were here at all... Well, he Are you here to snatch food?

Really, the idiot brother has never cared about him much. He must have thought wrong. The idiot brother is definitely here to snatch food from Serala...

Serala, who was sitting on a small chair, quickly destroyed the cookies. Serala, who drank a glass of juice, complained: "It's really troublesome, Sister Lily, let's go. As for the cookies... there are still them in the cabinet, Serala will come back again eat."

A few seconds later, Lily took Serara out of the door. At this time, Lily noticed Pike who liked to hide in corners and peek. Lily said in a low voice with an expressionless face: "I said...Uncle, if you need us to lead the way...just tell me, Serala and I will go first." Let’s go, I hope you can keep up.”

Pike, who was hiding under a pillar, saw the two girls in his sight suddenly disappear. Pike shook his head quickly and felt that his strength was still too weak. But this time, the long-nosed Parker smelled the unique smell of Lily. The road-crazy Parker originally wanted to follow this smell and walk out of the door, but he hesitated.

The gray hat washed by Louise... is now on Pike's head. There is a small bag of luggage in the room where Pike is staying, with food and water stored in it. Pike wanted to leave the lives of Owen and his son quietly, but at this moment... Pike, who was ready to leave, suddenly remembered one of his preys. He was looking forward to the appearance of the purple-haired boy, so Pike stood in front of the window and looked seriously. Thinking...

"I said... Uncle Eller, could this be where you want to come? This place is really remote and very difficult to walk. It took us several hours to get here, and I'm exhausted."

"Xiuzi, please stop complaining. Look... someone has come to greet us."

A few seconds later, Xiuzi saw Lily and Serala appear in his eyes. Xiuzi immediately put all his worries behind him. He waved his hands and said with a smile: "Hey, aren't these Lily and Serala? How come you two are here and where you are? But it doesn’t matter. It’s great to see you here.”

At this time, Eller, who was standing next to Xiuzi... holding a cigarette in his mouth, quickly raised his left hand, and Eller gently patted Xiuzi's head. Eller scolded: "Really Xiuzi, are you an idiot?" In front of two girls...be a gentleman, in front of girls...it's best not to ask so many questions."

Klaus, who was standing on the left side of Xiuzi... was resting after a long journey. Klaus, who was still breathing, saw two figures appear. Klaus, who had an ugly face, looked at the expressionless one. Lily, Klaus knew that Lily was not in a good mood.

Klaus, who had already woven the words in his mind, said politely: "Well...Lily, actually, Xiuzi and I thought about looking for you when you disappeared, but...this island is too big. It's a little difficult to find you. But luckily... I'm happy to see you here."

Ayler put down his left hand and looked at the two girls less than 10 meters in front of him. Ayler listened to the conversation between them. He realized that they knew each other. Then Ayler remembered... that he had met them yesterday. Although the two girls were only watching from a distance. Out of politeness, Eller said with a smile: "It turns out you all know each other. That's easy. Two girls, can you take me to meet the owner of this place? I have something very important." Things...need to be told to her."

Serara nodded politely, and Serara responded calmly: "Uncle, what do you want from Owen? And... Klaus, why do you look so ugly?"

At this time, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared behind Serara. Louise, who was wearing a red dress, said with a smile: "I thought who was coming, but I didn't expect it to be you. All of you, come with me. , if anything happens... let’s talk about it after you go in.”

Now, Eller, who was sitting in a small chair, listened to Louise's indifferent tone. Eller felt that the time he came here seemed wrong, but if he missed this opportunity... it would be difficult to complete something. Very difficult. With a serious expression, Eller took out a letter from his arms. There was very little content in it, and Eller had already read it.

The expressionless Louise looked at the envelope in Eller's right hand, and Louise took it carefully. Louise, who sat on the small chair again, opened the envelope and read the contents of the letter carefully. When Louise read the letter... there were some subtle changes in the expression on her face.

The letter in Louise's hand only contained a few short sentences: I'm very sorry, but I can't fulfill our agreement. I hope you can continue to keep that smile, and I hope you can live happily.

There was no signature in the letter, but both Louise and Elle knew who wrote it. The two people staying in the hall remained silent, and Louise read the contents of the letter repeatedly.

Several figures stood outside the hall with the door closed. They all put their ears to the wall. They were eavesdropping seriously, but they could not catch the conversation between Louise and Elle...

In the spacious hall, the two of them sat on small chairs about two meters apart. Eller, who looked to the right, saw the expression on Louise's face... the expression he expected. Ayler, who showed a helpless expression, said softly: "When he was still alive, he entrusted this letter to me. He asked me to deliver this letter to you, and at the same time, he hoped that I could Take care of the lives of you, mother and son. But when I saw that you were still so young, I felt that his worries were completely unnecessary."

The letter in Louise's hand had been rubbed with her hands for a long time. At this time... Louise turned to look at Elle on the left. After closing her eyes and thinking for a few seconds, Louise opened her eyes and put away the letter. Louise said calmly: "Is that man... he is dead after all. He tricked me from the empty island." He went to live on the blue sea... but he left like this, and he left so quietly."

At this time, Eller quickly shook his head and responded: "No...it's not what you think. I can't explain it to you. I know something about him. Louise, are the two scars on your back healed? "

"I really didn't expect you to care about this. I don't need you to worry. That little injury doesn't bother me at all. I'm living well now. As for you, if you want to stay here... just stay. Bar."

Louise stood up slowly and walked towards a certain door. A few seconds later... Louise walked out of the hall. Louise looked at the strange people with a smile. Louise knew what they were doing just now. Louise said gently: "I guess you are all a little hungry. I will prepare lunch right now. You guys wait a moment." meeting."

"Aunt Louise, please excuse me. We are not hungry, but thank you anyway."

After Klaus watched the beautiful figure leave, the nervous Klaus finally relaxed a little. Just now... Klaus heard the conversation between the two people completely, but... Klaus didn't understand what the conversation meant, and Klaus didn't know what her relationship was with Uncle Eller.

Klaus put away his smile and glanced at the two figures hiding at the top of the stairs. Klaus recognized the long-nosed Pike, and his expression became a little gloomy. But when Klaus continued to look down, Klaus returned to his smiling face again. Klaus said with a smile: "You must be Owen, my name is Klaus... I am Serara's companion."

Owen, who was standing next to Pike, noticed that Uncle Pike's legs were shaking slightly. Owen didn't understand Uncle Pike's behavior at first. But when Owen saw two strange figures, Owen suddenly understood. Owen thought this was the way Uncle Parker greeted his acquaintances. Owen, who was smiling, said politely: "My name is Owen, brother Klaus, nice to meet you."
