A foreigner's journey

The party must eventually come to an end.

Large and small candles and lanterns were lit in the spacious and luxurious room.

In the darkness that was not illuminated by the light, Heather sat on the sofa, holding the pair of glasses his mother gave him in his hand, and fell into deep thought.

Since entering the world of One Piece, he has worn these glasses less and less.

He is afraid of his own weakness.

In Monster Hunter World, [World Will] almost succeeded in transforming his character, which made Heather extremely wary and unwilling to speak out.

He never thought that the difference in his personality before and after wearing glasses was a symptom of schizophrenia. He just thought it was depression caused by excessive pressure. But in Monster Hunter World, the will of the world taught him a good lesson.

In that world, I became weak, longed for friendship and recognition, became... stupid, and was almost completely transformed by the will of the world and stayed in that world forever.

Heather was afraid that her weakness after wearing glasses would give the world's will another opportunity.

If you really change your mind and personality, will you still be [yourself]?

To become stronger! Both body and mind!

Thinking of this, Heather grasped the glasses with her five fingers. As long as he exerted a little force, the glasses that represented his [humanity] would completely turn into crumbs.

"Huh? Where did the glasses in your hand come from?"

At this moment, Nami's curious inquiry came from not far away.

She was wearing a revealing miniskirt maid outfit, holding a lantern in her hand and looking curiously at the pair of glasses in Heather's hand.

After spending so many days with Heather, she has seen everything that should be seen and shouldn't be seen. Nami thinks that she knows this young and handsome Beast Pirates poster quite well, but she has never seen Heather. The pair of glasses in Se's hand.

To be exact, she had never seen such an expression on Heather's face - reluctance and determination mixed together.

This was an unimaginable sight for Heather, who usually looked on coldly from the perspective of a bystander and then let out a few joking laughs.

"Haven't you heard that saying? Curiosity will kill [the cat]."

Heather did not look up at Nami, but still focused on the glasses in her hand.

"Who made me a [Little Thieving Cat]?"

Nami looked at Heather's expression, and then turned her attention to the glasses: "Are these glasses very precious to you?"

"...Does it have anything to do with you?"

Heather finally cast her gaze on Nami's pretty face, her tone full of repulsion:

"Don't ask more questions than you should."

Nami is not afraid of Heather at all: "It is obviously very important to you, but you just wanted to destroy this pair of glasses with your own hands. Most of the things you do on impulse will make people regret it later."

Needless to say, Heather was beginning to regret her previous impulse, but she still said stubbornly: "Have you finished cleaning the room? If you have so much free time, why not go clear the snow in the yard."

Nami began to squint her eyes, and she found that Heather was much gentler and more like a [human] than the cruel look hidden in her usual smile. Yes, she never thought that Heather was a normal human being, but some kind of [monster] wearing human skin.

But Heather looks more human now... Is it because of those glasses?

"Master Heather, would you like to put on these glasses? I have never seen you wearing glasses." Nami held Heather's arm and shook it vigorously, encouraging Heather to put on the glasses.

Heather was unmoved: "Go clean the yard quickly. The maid must have the consciousness of a maid."

"If you put on your glasses and let me see, I...I will..." Nami blushed, bit her lip, and whispered a few words into Heather's ear.

This is a necessary sacrifice to learn the secrets of the enemy general! Nami comforted herself in this way.

After hearing this, Heather's eyes subconsciously glanced at Nami's deep ravine, and then she came back to her senses. This woman is so terrifying. She can speak so openly and openly like a devil!

In fact, Heather's heart was already relaxed.

It's not because of Nami's temptation, but because Heather really feels that her behavior has become more and more cruel in recent times. Even though she was still following the bottom line taught by her parents and the basic rules followed by Earth society, Heather could still feel the resurgence of her [nature].

I am not an ordinary human being, this is something that my parents and I both know very well.

The care and teachings of her parents turned her into a seemingly harmless homebody. This was a compromise made in order to survive with normal humans on earth, and Heather did not hate such constraints.

But even a lion that has been domesticated by humans since childhood will slowly awaken its wild instinct after actually killing its prey. Heather, who is no longer bound by her parents, is gradually recovering her [Demon King] in the process of traveling through the world. ] nature.

And this pair of glasses given to Heather by his mother is his limiter.

Wanting to completely restore his true nature, destroy it.

If you want to maintain your humanity, wear it.

Tsk... It's definitely not for Nami's promise, it's just ordinary rehabilitation exercises. Heather muttered to herself as she put on her glasses.

Nami felt that the dazzling and handsome man on the big sign had disappeared, replaced by an ordinary black-haired man with glasses.

"It's amazing. Are these glasses a magic prop?"

Nami touched Heather's face in surprise, and suddenly she looked like a stranger. No, it’s still the same face, but my perception of this face has changed! ?

Amazing! If I had had such a pair of strange glasses when I was stealing all over the East China Sea, I would never have been caught!

"You're so annoying, just look at it and don't do anything." Heather tried to drive Nami away, but the latter stuck to him like brown candy.

It's true, after wearing these glasses, it's like a different person. The heart-stopping cruelty and indifference disappeared, replaced by a relatively soft and warm sunshine.

It feels like... Heather is better like this.

Thinking of this, Nami blushed slightly as she touched Heather's face.

"You're blushing like a bubblegum!" Heather pushed Nami away, then stood up and moved around.

It feels like taking a sip of ice-cold Coke in the dog days of summer, and my soul seems to be healed and soothed after wearing the eyes. I obviously didn’t feel this way when I was in Wano a year ago. Is it because I haven’t worn glasses for so long? Am I not suffering from [Glasses Poisoning Syndrome]?

What is certain is that my personality does not change after wearing glasses. It's just that my views on some things have shifted slightly... Well, my dislike of [Kozuki Oden] and [The Nine Heroes of the Red Scabbard] has not changed, so that's good.

Heather sank into the depths of her mind again to check her [Mythical Weapon Catalog]. The 400-day recasting cooling time had returned to zero at tonight's banquet, and new mythical weapons could be recast at any time.

On the page of [Knife], the vague shadow that resembles a giant egg is still trembling slightly with the heartbeat, and the hatching has not yet been completed.

The time has obviously come, why hasn’t the hatch been successful yet? Do we need another [opportunity]?

Heather frowned and was lost in thought, but this was another signal to Nami's eyes.

She blushed and started pushing Heather toward the bedroom. Heather has completed the agreement, so she has to pay the [reward].

But... at least in the bedroom. It would be too embarrassing in the living room!

"Huh? What are you doing?" Heather came back to her senses and found that Nami had pushed herself to the bedroom, and her miniskirt maid outfit had quietly fallen to the ground.

The dazzling and beautiful sight made Heather feel dazed for a moment.

But he immediately came back to his senses. He neither rushed over to execute Nami on the spot, nor turned around and ran away like a celestial eunuch. Instead, he looked at Nami with admiration.

It is human nature to like beautiful things.

"...At least do something, you have obviously despised yourself to this point..." Nami's voice was trembling with tears. This was her greatest courage.

She can no longer tell whether she is succumbing to Heather's strength and the safety of her companions, or whether she has really fallen in love with this annoying big poster who always loves to quarrel with her and has her own bottom line and persistence. .

"According to common sense, I should press you on the bed now and let you fulfill your promise."

Heather walked up to Nami, raised her chin and said slowly:

"But you only have false feelings for me because of Stockholm Syndrome. This kind of emotion is like an epiphyllum, and its beauty can only disappear in an instant. And I am disrespecting myself by taking you down at this time. Well, Seeing this, you have already delivered your [reward]. Now, go put on your maid uniform and make me a cup of coffee, just put two sugar cubes in it."

The plain words directly broke Nami's shy and anxious girl's heart.

If the hooded version of Heather is more wild and bold and indulges her own desires, then the glasses version of Heather is calmer and more straightforward on the basis of being close to human nature.

The implication is that since I'm so good, I don't need to coerce women into doing that kind of thing. I just want the kind of congenial love. Are you wronged? I don’t want to go there yet!

A few minutes later, Nami, who had put on the miniskirt maid outfit again, stood in the kitchen, staring blankly at the coffee machine in front of her.

I can't believe what I just did! Wasn't the behavior just now exactly the fanatical behavior of Kim Rami and other Heather's female fans that he despised? What's even worse is that his crazy move was ruthlessly rejected by Heather!

I take it back, I hate every version of Heather.

In the bedroom, Heather shook her head. Her charm was indeed unstoppable. Even Nami, who is not a member of the Appearance Association in the original work, was deceived by herself. I am really a sinful man.

But what Heather just said was no show of pretentiousness. If he was really just trying to vent his anger, he could have taken the artillery king route all the way from the beginning of the Pirates of the Caribbean world. Angelica, Ershan, Momo, Ulti, Gin Rummy, etc., etc., none of them could escape. Drop the palm of your hand.

But B Wang Lanran has a saying that makes sense - [Longing is the emotion furthest from understanding].

Even Ershan only likes herself who is influenced by the will of the world.

Maybe in other worlds, you can meet a girl with whom you are willing to have a vigorous love affair, but at least in this One Piece world, no such girl has appeared.

Heather stretched out her five fingers and then clenched them tightly, repeated several times, and found that wearing this pair of [Superman's Invisibility Glasses] would indeed affect her ability to exert herself. I am afraid this is also the self-suggestion effect of the limiter.

It doesn't matter, just wear glasses occasionally to maintain your humanity. What I have to do now is to learn and practice swordsmanship.

The swordsmanship in the One Piece world is considered to be at the upper-middle level among major comic book worlds, and the world's top swordsmen like [Hawkeye] can use their swordsmanship to become as powerful as 'magic'.

If nothing else goes wrong, the weapon that is being hatched should be based on the [Tachi] from the monster hunting world. Learning swordsmanship in advance can be considered as a precautionary measure.

When this weapon that can kill gods is hatched, Heather believes that the whole world will tremble.
