Chapter 228 He is the great benefactor who saved your life
Winter is coming soon.
On a small island, heavy snow fell, and the snow bent the branches and covered the ground.
The cold wind is so cold that the animals on the island have begun to enter a state of hibernation, hiding in their caves and not daring to come out.
The old man was sitting on the beach fishing with his eyes closed. The hat on his head and shoulders were covered with snow. He didn't know how long he had been sitting here, but he began to doze off.
After a while, another person came out from behind, stepping in the deep snow and slowly approaching the old man. He stopped next to him, looked down at the bucket, and asked, "Why haven't I caught a single fish? ?”
The old man slowly raised his eyelids, and he knew who it was just by hearing the voice: "If you don't just stay at your naval headquarters, why are you running here all the time?"
Garp put his hands in his pockets and looked at the fish near the hook and replied: "What else can I do? I miss my granddaughter."
"Where is your grandson? You don't think about it at all."
The old man stood up, took back his fishing rod, and planned to pack his things and go back.
"Why do you want him? Isn't that brat living a good life in the daughter's country?"
Garp looked at the fishhook without bait and suddenly realized: "How can you fish like this? No wonder there is nothing in the bucket every time. So you put it here to play?"
"This is called self-cultivation. If you don't understand, just shut up. It's really as annoying as that brat Roger."
The old man picked up the fishing rod and left with the bucket.
Garp laughed and followed.
in the forest.
There is a cave halfway up the mountain.
In the cave, a girl with black hair lay quietly on the stone bed.
There was a fire crackling next to it.
This is the innermost room of the cave, and the strong wind from outside cannot blow in at all.
But the sound of howling ghosts and wolves produced by the wind can be heard.
The girl's fingers jumped a few times unconsciously.
Then she slowly opened her eyes.
The dim environment and confused brain made her relax for a long time before she sat up with her hands on her body.
Looking at the warm orange flames, the girl was a little confused, where is this?Why is she here?
She felt as if she had had a long, long dream, but now she woke up, but she couldn't remember the content of the dream.
At this time, a familiar laughter came from outside.
Make girls feel confused.
After reacting, she was just about to get out of bed when she saw a tall old man walking in.
The hearty laughter stopped abruptly at this moment, and Garp just stared at her blankly, happy, sad, distressed, and unbelievable, all kinds of emotions gathered on that wrinkled old face.
There seem to be tears in your eyes?
I wonder if it’s an illusion caused by lighting issues?
"grandfather?"
Xiaoluo shouted softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Garp rushed over and hugged Xiaoluo's small body into his warm embrace. Tears burst down his face, and he broke down in sobs. He was so choked that he couldn't speak.
He thought that his granddaughter would lie on this cold stone bed for the rest of her life, or that she might not hold on and just...
Then wouldn't he be sending a white-haired person to a black-haired person and lose her forever?
Every time he thought about this, Garp felt extremely uncomfortable.
But he still has to pretend to be strong in front of everyone.
"Pa-ta-!"
Hot tears dripped into Xiaoluo's neck.
She had never seen Garp like this before. He was frightened and at a loss: "What...what's wrong? Don't cry."
Seeing Garp's abnormal behavior, Xiaoluo suddenly remembered something and asked nervously: "Could it be that Ace still hasn't escaped from Malinfando?"
Otherwise, why would grandpa cry like this?
Garp didn't answer, still immersed in joy.
Xiaoluo was anxious, pushed the old man away, and broke away from his arms: "Something happened to Ace, right? He..."
do you died?
He still hasn't changed his fate?
Thinking of this, Xiaoluo's mentality exploded instantly.
She clenched her fists subconsciously, her nails digging into her flesh without feeling.
She remembered seeing the redhead coming in a boat from the distance when she was hit by Akainu's "Great Breath of Fire".
Thinking that as long as that person comes, this war will end, and Ace has already escaped to the middle of the sea, and should be able to leave safely.
Therefore, Xiaoluo used her last strength to hide from others, returned to the clone, and merged into one body.
That's why the medical team said they could save her, but were suddenly helpless because the damage to her body was much more serious than that of her body.
But she covered the wounds on the main body, but the wounds on the clone still appeared on her body.
Because the traces of injuries on the body from the lava were too easy to identify, people inevitably speculated on the identity of the orc fox.
The ability of the Phantom Beast Ten-tailed Fox Fruit is different from other fruits in that as long as the person with the ability is not dead, the ability can be used in a small area and will not disappear.
For example, before going into shock, Xiaoluo had covered up the traces of injuries from Akainu, leaving only the injuries left by Shiru and other criminals.
Like other fruit ability users, as long as they faint and become unconscious, the ability he or she used will automatically disappear.
"That guy is very good. He just became the Yonko not long ago."
Garp wiped away his tears with his sleeve: "I'm worried about you, stinky girl. You will be in coma for a year."
The old man's voice was still choked with sobs.
Although it was embarrassing to cry in front of his granddaughter at such an old age, he was too excited just now to care about it.
"???"
"What? Four Emperors?"
Xiaoluo blinked his eyes in confusion, and all the previous sadness was gone. So...he succeeded?
"Really, grandpa, you didn't lie to me? Where is the newspaper? Show me!"
She couldn't wait to confirm.
"Why am I carrying that thing with me? Why are you not curious at all about why you were in shock for so long?"
"whee........"
Xiaoluo was stupidly happy and said nothing.
Because this was a choice she had long made with the determination to die.
At that time, the system warned her that she would either go into shock or die.
She prepared for the worst, but she didn't expect that she survived after only being in shock for a year, and Ace was also saved.
Xiaoluo felt that he had made a lot of money, hahaha.
She risked her life and took a gamble, but the result was much better than she imagined.
But when Garp saw his granddaughter's silly look, he was a little worried: "Why are you laughing?"
Could it be that the injury affected the brain?
"It's nothing, I'm just happy~"
"What are you so happy about? It makes your dad and I worried to death! You are a heartless little thing!"
As he spoke, Garp raised his fist and punched Xiaoluo on the head.
Xiaoluo shrank his neck subconsciously.
But grandpa's fist only touched a little bit of her hair and did not fall.
Xiaoluo felt strange and glanced at the old man.
"Hey."
Garp sighed and retracted his fist.
Seeing that she had just woken up, I couldn't bear to do anything.
I was afraid that I would be knocked unconscious by her again later.
Who made this girl so fragile?
He was stabbed once and was unconscious for so long.
Karp even learned to reflect and wonder if he was beating his granddaughter too often and causing physical problems in her?
After all, she is a girl, so it makes sense that she won't be able to resist beatings like Luffy's.
I'm blaming myself.
Suddenly, an old voice came from the door: "Little girl, you are finally awake."
Xiaoluo and Garp turned their heads to look over.
When he saw the man clearly, Xiaoluo was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "Old immortal, why are you here?"
"Bam—!"
Garp still couldn't hold back and punched Xiaoluo on the head: "What old man is this? Children can't be rude. He is the great benefactor who saved your life."
