One Piece: The Ninja Who Started as a Fisherman.

Chapter 263: Waking Up, Alrita's Decision

"Quack..."

"Damn it!! I'm going to eat you!! You stinky frog..."

In a daze, Qi Kang was awakened by a burst of chaotic noise.

He felt his body and it seemed that he had been treated very well, worthy of being the Straw Hat Pirates' ship doctor.

Fat-headed Luo Fei gave a total of 34 "Strong Agreement" physical fitness feedbacks. Qi Kang's current physical fitness is over 4 cards, and his physical fitness has been greatly improved, but his left eye has not recovered.

Can this eye be restored?

Qi Kang was about to get up when he suddenly thought of something.

I'm not awake yet! I'm not awake yet!!

"Eight o'clock! Following the ocean current, we will be back on track soon!" Nami's voice came into Qi Kang's ears again.

"Ah? Did Qi Kang move just now?"

Chopper looked confused with a silly look on his face, but someone narrowed his eyes.

Whoosh! A fragrant breeze passed by...

A murderous aura is coming!

! ! ! !

This also brought a confused guy back to his senses instantly!

Qi Kang suddenly opened his eyes, and the shadow of an iron rod was reflected in his pupils. The sharp wolf fangs almost touched his eyelashes.

call!

Just when the tip of the mace was only 1 centimeter away from Qi Kang's right eye, Alrita suddenly stopped her movements.

At this moment, the whole world seemed to freeze, and time also stopped at this moment.

Qi Kang's breathing almost stopped, and he could even feel his heartbeat roaring like an Overlord engine.

"You are pretending to sleep! Cool D. Qikan!" Alrita's voice was somewhat teasing.

Zoro retracted his knife, Luffy stuffed the meat back in, and the others' jaws dropped.

It turns out to be [One-Stick Style·Big Shock]!!

"Don't you have something to say to me? Say it!" Alrita said.

This is the time to call for punishment!

"Wait... wait a minute!" Qi Kang pointed at the mace. At this distance, he was afraid of an accidental discharge.

Alrita disagreed, and spoke in a charming and cold voice:

"I think at this distance, you can make it more sensible. If I'm not satisfied, it will break into pieces! What do you think?"

Uh, Alrita is still as cruel as before...

After all, we are all one-week pirate allies!

Alrita, you're betraying your ally, aren't you afraid of being permanently blacklisted by the pirate camp?

"Let's go to the cab and talk! Is that okay?" Qi Kang said seriously.

Alrita looked at the onlookers, finally put down the iron rod and turned away.

Inside the cab.

Qi Kang was on pins and needles. What should I say? Waiting online, urgent!

Alrita narrowed her eyes and swung the stick, full of threats: "If you can't explain it today, believe it or not, I will beat you! I may not be unable to beat you now!"

Facing Alrita's questioning, Qi Kang looked at the beauty in front of him, his face unchanged: "You should do this, and I should die..."

???

“I once had a sincere dream in my heart, but I didn’t stick to it.”

As he spoke, Qi Kang's tears were about to burst out, and his face was full of regret.

!

dream?

This, this, this!

Faced with Qi Kang's sad look, Alrita felt upset and even dared not look him in the face.

"You...what do you mean? What are you insisting on? I've become so beautiful now. I don't need it anymore!"

"Besides, have you forgotten what you told me in Alabasta? Isn't it over?"

When Alrita brought up the past, Qi Kang closed his eyes and said sadly, "It is indeed over, so... I have always kept my promise."

"Don't lie to me!" Alrita's voice suddenly became sharp, "Then why did you continue to use my image in Albana?"

The tone of voice sounded as if the watermelon would be smashed if the words were not spoken properly.

Albana? Good boy, let's go back to the past.

But, God knows!

That was done by the shadow clone! Yes, it’s also Zoro’s fault!!

Of course Qi Kang couldn't say that.

Qi Kang sighed softly: "I once promised you that I would no longer use your cute image, but..."

"I always become what you once were without realizing it. This is not my intention, because that was my dream when I went to sea - it was engraved too deeply."

The gossipers of the Straw Hat Pirates who were eavesdropping outside the door all spit in disgust, but then they thought that Qi Kang seemed to have really said this dream.

Usopp: Don't believe it! It's obviously fake!!

The Franky family and the guys like Carrera, the third foreman who was eating sunflower seeds, talked about it and thought the scene was both awkward and a bit greasy.

"It's engraved too deeply? So it was accidental?" Alrita was a little touched.

Seeing that Alrita was in a daze, Qi Kang thought she didn't believe it, so he swore to the lamp:

"But I can swear that except for being too angry tonight, I haven't used your image recently!"

"The image on the bounty must be the reason why I promised you to promote truth, goodness and beauty before."

Alrita looked at Qi Kang's solemn expression, and she couldn't help but feel a little relieved - "Did I really misunderstand him?"

But she still said firmly: "I don't trust you! You must be lying to me."

Although Alrita's words were angry, her tone... was so gentle!

This change made Qi Kang sweat profusely, thinking that she was going to lose her temper.

"Look! Give me another chance!! I have a way to have the best of both worlds."

Qi Kang's mind raced as he came up with his ultimate move:

"If you want, I can use your current image to cover up the true, kind and beautiful Alrita in my heart! After all, no one can deny your beauty now."

After flattering, Qi Kang looked at Alrita. Covering and the like were all nonsense, but it was fine as long as it could solve the problem.

After hearing this, Alrita felt a surge of nameless anger in her heart!

Didn’t you just say that you still want to pursue your dream?

These words made her feel that Qi Kang was blatantly betraying her!

Betrayed their dreams!!

That's right! They are referring to the original Alrita and Qi Kang.

Before obtaining the Slippery-Slip Fruit, Alrita's dream was to become a great pirate and have the whole world admit that she, who was freckled and naturally fat, was incomparably beautiful.

That's why what Qi Kang said to her in Rogue Town touched her so much. It was a feeling of being cared for and loved that she had never felt before.

She has clearly obtained the "Slippery Fruit" and no longer needs anyone to prove it. She appears to be disgusted but still wants to see Qi Kang working hard for his former self. This is very contradictory.

After all, she is her, and the original her is still her.

When Alrita went to Alabasta with conflicted feelings, she thought that Qi Kang had betrayed his former self, which is why she burst out with such a destructive will!

Now, if what Qi Kang said is true, then——

Alrita felt that she had always wanted Qi Kang to give up his dream and the self that Qi Kang had preached about truth, goodness, and beauty...

So Qi Kang chose to betray, and in a sense, it was also caused by her now...

"Is this considered a betrayal to myself?" Alrita thought with some regret after understanding the so-called cause and effect.

"Why does this man make me so conflicted!!"

Faced with the choice given by Qi Kang who betrayed her dream, Alrita gritted her teeth, with a complex light flashing in her eyes.

In the end, Alrita simply said, "It's up to you! Just make your decision."

Qi Kang was completely confused by Alrita's reaction.

What do you mean? I decided? What do you mean by your angry tone? ! !

Qi Kang appeared to be as steady as an old dog: "In order to achieve the perfect transformation technique, I need to measure your body data manually."

Faced with this unreasonable request, Alrita's answer was: "Whatever you want!"

Then she put down her mace and stretched out her body towards Qi Kang! !
