One Piece: The Magician

Chapter 256 Are you caring about me? Sherlock

The cool and mottled night sky is dotted with stars, and everything is silent tonight.

After a whole day of sailing, the Straw Hats have already fallen asleep, except for a certain glasses who is responsible for keeping vigil tonight.

Sherlock was lying on a recliner, staring at the sky blankly. His thoughts began to diverge, and his eyes under the lenses had long lost focus.

The magician is a person who likes to be quiet. Although he does not object to having lively banquets with Luffy and his gang, he is still more accustomed to enjoying solitude quietly.

Because only in this absolute quiet time can Sherlock think about some issues better.

For example, develop fruit abilities.

Void, this is the name Sherlock gave to his ability that he had an epiphany in the G8 Fortress.

This ability is very similar to the elementalization of natural ability users, even the fact that it can be restrained by armed color Haki is exactly the same.But compared to the relaxation and joy of natural elementalization, the dizziness and nausea caused by virtualization are really too painful.

Maybe with more practice, I can overcome that dizziness.A certain glasses thought so.

After several days of research, Sherlock finally understood the principle of virtualization.Compared with the mirror entity that changes from virtual to real, this ability to change from real to virtual is indeed much more complicated.

The so-called virtualization does not actually mean that one's body is completely transformed into virtuality. There is a degree between reality and virtuality.Depending on the degree of blur, blur can be divided into many categories.

If the blur level is less than 50, although the dizziness will be greatly reduced, the body will still be harmed by the outside world.

And if the degree of blur is greater than 50, although you can be immune to damage, those projected mirror weapons cannot be controlled.

Only when one's body is turned into a virtual state of exactly 50%, and is in a balanced and delicate intermediate state of half real and half virtual, can the magician freely use abilities such as mirroring entities, and also be able to reflect in the mirror. The moon in the flower water is generally immune to damage from the outside world.

Not only that, Sherlock also developed two new extension abilities from different degrees of virtualization.

Blur level 1, this level of blur dizziness is almost zero and can even be maintained forever.Although it is not immune to damage, the body of the magician in the virtual state 1 still has certain characteristics of the mirror image.

For example, Sherlock can freely control it with his thoughts, float in the air, and fly in mid-air.

The degree of blurring is 51. This level of blurring and dizziness is comparable to the side effects of Sammona. Sherlock tried it once and never tried again.But during that attempt, a certain glasses vaguely felt a call from an alien space.

That feeling should be like the reverse world on the other side of the mirror.Sherlock secretly thought that after all, after becoming 51, his body was leaning more towards the inside of the mirror.

After being struck by Enel's lightning on the empty island, the magician subconsciously activated the virtual blur, and his consciousness accidentally entered the world in the mirror and saw himself in the mirror.

According to what Sherlock in the Mirror said at the time, Sherlock in that state should be able to directly travel to the reverse world.

After entering the mirror world, the position you come out of should be changeable, right?

Sherlock had a very bold idea in his mind, but because the Meili was too small and surrounded by the sea, he was not in a hurry to try it.

Although this ability is very powerful, the dizziness caused by the blurring above 50 is really so I'd better wait for Chopper's new medicine.

The reindeer doctor has been busy studying the red apples brought from the empty island these days. According to the little reindeer, a new drug that can effectively restrain the side effects of Insomona is about to be released.

Although Sauron has been warning me not to rely too much on outside forces, I have no choice now.

Recalling the powerlessness he felt when facing Blackbeard, the humiliation he felt when he was "educated" by the enemy of nature, and his sister who was far away in the new world, Sherlock clenched his right fist, and the pair of eyes under the lens His deep black eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.

I must become stronger, by any means necessary

"Meow~~~"

At this time, a slight cat meow came from below Sherlock. A certain glasses turned sideways and looked down, and happened to meet a pair of scarlet cat eyes, beautiful and mysterious.

"Besty" Sherlock chuckled lightly and held the little black cat in his arms: "Shouldn't you be sleeping in Nami's arms now?"

The Straw Hats are very friendly to this cute little thing, but Besty, apart from showing affection to Nami, Robin, and Sherlock, always treats the others with love and affection. Reasonable and aloof.

This also made the curly-browed chef, who had been making delicious cat food for it in different ways, very unhappy and called him a white-eyed wolf.

Sherlock gently pressed the pads on Besty's paws, and for some reason, the magician suddenly felt fascinated by the soft touch of the pads on the cat's paws.

After several days of observation, the magician also discovered two characteristics of this little black cat.

One is laziness. It is really a lazy cat. It spends most of the time sleeping on the deck every day. According to the original words of the stupid captain, it is just like Sauron.

Another characteristic is that he is smart. Most of the time, Besty doesn't behave like a cat.

If Luffy hadn't accidentally thrown it out of the sea one time and the latter swam aboard the Merry on his own, Sherlock would have almost suspected that this guy was actually an animal-type Devil Fruit user.

"Since you are so smart, your master must be extraordinary. Wait, your master must be..."

A petite figure with black and white ponytails suddenly flashed in the sorcerer's mind, and the expression on his face suddenly became strange.

huh~~~

A gust of cool night wind blew by, and Sherlock's black hair, which seemed to have been dyed with highlights, moved with the wind. He sniffed gently and smelled a familiar fragrance of flowers in the wind, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. .

pat pat

Following the sound of soft footsteps, a slender yet sexy figure slowly walked up to the magician and sat on another recliner.

As she sat down, the little black cat in Sherlock's arms immediately jumped down and fell into the arms of the visitor.

"Hehehe, it seems that this little guy likes me more, Sherlock." Robin couldn't help but chuckle after touching Besty's little head.

The intellectual beauty's laughter was very sweet, as clear and sweet as some kind of silver wind chime.

"It's so late, why don't you sleep well and come to me to say something?" Sherlock was unmoved. He pushed up his glasses slightly and asked in a calm tone.

"It's not that I have something to do with you, but that you have something to do with me." The corners of Robin's mouth curled up gracefully.

"I am very sensitive to the surrounding environment. These days you always look at me intentionally or unintentionally. Do you want to ask me something, but you don't know how to ask me?"

Robin is not actually a person who likes to inquire into the truth, but for Sherlock, a "blue-faced confidant", Robin still hopes that they can be a little more honest with each other.

What a smart woman

Sherlock thought to himself. He stared at Robin's beautiful blue and black eyes for a long time and sighed softly.

"Trading Major General Alan"

Robin frowned slightly: "Did you misunderstand something, Sherlock? I didn't meet her in that baron."

"Really? I hope I'm overthinking it." Sherlock pushed up his glasses. Judging from the micro-expression of the sinister woman just now, the magician was sure that Robin was not lying.

But if it wasn't Robin, then who would be the person with the capital to make a deal with that weird navy?

A large part of the reason why the Straw Hats successfully escaped from the G8 Fortress was that the enemy of nature once again let go, and the reason for the lethargy was that transaction.

Sherlock had always thought that Robin had made some secret deal with Major General Alan, but now it seemed that things were not as simple as he imagined.

Shaking his head, Sherlock put the question aside and said sternly to a certain shady woman:

"Robin, I know very well what kind of trouble you have behind you, just like you know my true identity. In a sense, the two of us are actually two "time bombs" buried in the Straw Hat Pirates. .”

Sherlock touched a strand of silver hair on his head. The beautiful silver exuded a dense luster under the moonlight, and was extremely beautiful.

"One day, we will bring disaster to this pirate group."

"" Listening to Sherlock's calm words, the smile on Robin's face gradually faded, replaced by a serious expression.

"But even so, that idiot who keeps clamoring to be the Pirate King all day long won't care. I believe you already know what kind of character Luffy is."

"So?" Robin asked confused, she was a little confused as to what the glasses were trying to say.

"So, you just need to stay on this small boat honestly now." Sherlock stared at the stars in the sky and said quietly: "Even if the sky falls in the future, your friends will be with you." You faced it together, didn’t you?”

partner

Robin's heart trembled when she heard this familiar yet unfamiliar word. She was stunned for a while, and then suddenly laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha"

"Hey, why are you laughing? Is what I just said funny?" Glancing at the intellectual beauty who was smiling wildly, Sherlock couldn't help but frown.

"No, it's not." Robin adjusted his mood: "I'm wondering why you said this to me."

A certain dark-hearted woman looked at the sorcerer with burning eyes, a hint of narrowness on her beautiful face.

"Are you concerned about me Sherlock?"

Hearing this, Sherlock, who was looking up at the stars, had a condensed expression.

"You're overthinking. I'm just afraid that you, a stupid woman, will do something stupid that makes people laugh or cry."

"It's late at night and it's cold. You should go back to bed quickly." After saying that, a certain glasses stood up and walked towards the cabin without looking back.

Stupid woman, is this the evaluation you give me in your heart? Sherlock.

Feeling Sherlock gradually move away, Robin still had a charming smile on her face. She raised the little black cat in her arms to her eyes, stared at its enchanting blood-colored eyes, and asked softly :

"Do you think he is arrogant to Besty?"

"Meow~~~" the little black cat meowed with an unknown meaning.To be continued.
