A Pirate's Bizarre Adventure

"'The Abyss' recognizes your determination."

"But one day, you will face a choice..."

"What choice?"

"We can't say it yet. You'll know when the time comes."

"..."

"So, what's your answer?"

"Let's talk about the future matters later. I am willing to make a contract."

…

…

"I "choose" to give everything in exchange for Machima's complete death! "Haikawa Qiu felt a flash of enlightenment in his heart.

Now is the so-called ‘right time’!

Machima realized it in hindsight.

She suddenly realized that Hayakawa Qiu was not making a deal with the Demon of Darkness, but was making a deal with the 'Abyss'.

Looking up suddenly, Makima found that the darkness in the sky was gradually dissipating.

Instead, there was a distorted starry sky.

An unnamed planet covered with tentacles, a cluster of plankton with only one big mouth, a moon with red eyes and exposed fangs...

This is a projection of the dark side of the universe.

The bad woman finally panicked.

For the first time in her life, she felt the panic that the situation was beyond her control.

"Wait! I can also offer a sacrifice!" Makima quickly promised, "I can offer the whole world to you!"

The black cat squatting on Hayakawa Qiu's shoulder and the red snake next to Makima said at the same time, "Sorry, business is about first come, first served."

Hearing this, Hayakawa Akira smiled.

It's done!

In an instant, the world was silent.

Starlight descends upon the earth.

The cats and snakes, Makima and Akira Hayakawa disappeared at the same time.

quietly.

just like……

They never showed up.

After an unknown amount of time, Denci and Lesai finally came to their senses.

They saw something they shouldn't have seen, and the two shed tears of blood.

However, because Denji and Lesse are both demons and don't have much sense themselves, the impact is not too great.

After a while, the injuries on his body recovered quickly.

"Lese..." Denji said with difficulty, "Is the battle over?"

"I think, yes."

Denji asked again, "Just now... Qiu... sacrificed himself?"

"That may be the only way to defeat your enemy."

Denci was silent.

At this moment, a gravitational force acted on the two of them.

In the blink of an eye, Denci and Lesse were recalled to the world.

It’s still a familiar warehouse.

The bodies of Kujo Yoriikawa and Watanabe Reiko are even still in place.

However, Hayakawa Qiu and Machima are missing, as well as the slaves she controls.

Lesser was very keen and discovered the huge meat ball outside the corpse factory.

Seeing the meat ball, Denji recognized it at a glance. It was the eternal demon who had been defeated by himself, Hayakawa Qiu and Pava.

"Time loop?" Denji was a little unsure.

Lesai followed Denci's train of thought and guessed: "Perhaps Makima had deployed a backhand from the beginning to completely freeze the surrounding time in a certain frequency band.

But she didn't expect that Hayakawa Qiu would actually communicate with the hell demons and teleport us into hell.

But in this way, when time returns to its original point, we will happen to be counter-summoned and appear here again. "

Denji didn't have Lesai's brain and didn't understand these twists and turns.

All he knew was that after Pava, he lost Hayakawa Akira again...

Lesai hugged her lover.

Comforting him silently.

However, the results were little.

The missing parts of my heart will never be replaced.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through my mind.

Denji broke away from Lesse's arms.

He looked down at his chest.

In addition to the drawstring that protrudes from the body, there is also a bead that shines with dark red light.

Yes.

The one who signed the contract with the ‘Abyss’ in the first place was himself.

Denji took down the ball and held it tightly in his hand.

Maybe, he can bring back Aki Hayakawa and Pava!

…

…

The abyss is not as scary as imagined.

Time means nothing here.

Of course, it may be that my treatment is relatively special.

Hayakawa Qiu looked at the black-haired young man in front of him, took a deep breath, and said respectfully: "Please have a meal."

Hearing this, Jon looked away from the magic mirror with some reluctance, picked a grape and put it into his mouth, and said casually: "Thank you for your hard work."

Hayakawa Akira:......

I originally thought that the true form of the Lord of the Abyss would be the same as the Demon of Darkness, the embodiment of despair and fear.

Who would have thought that after this period of getting along, Hayakawa Qiu would find that his previous worries were completely unnecessary.

To be honest, some low-level demons are closer to the word 'demon' than this incarnation of the abyss.

emmm...that's fine too.

Rather, this is the best.

"It's so boring. When can I leave here?" Jon said to himself in front of the Magic Mirror of the World without paying much attention to the change in Hayakawa Qiu's expression.

Of course, he didn't expect Qiu Hayakawa to answer his question.

The conversation changed, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, your good days are coming to an end."

Hearing this, Hayakawa Qiu felt a chill in his heart.

What are you afraid of?

So, the comfort period is over?

So--

What awaits me next is endless torture and suffering?

never mind.

No matter what it is, it is the path you choose.

Hayakawa Qiu was fearless and just nodded respectfully, "I understand."

Jon suddenly laughed, "What are you thinking about? I don't have time to torture you. When I have time, what better than to confuse people and quietly do bad things?"

Hayakawa Qiu blinked, and three big question marks appeared above his head.

I didn't understand, but I was shocked.

With doubts, he pushed the dining cart out of the room where the 'Lord of the Abyss' was.

The abyss is a dimension different from the real world, where various negative concepts can be embodied.

However, the palace where the Lord of the Abyss lives is no different from the buildings in the human world.

Here, Hayakawa Qiu also saw a variety of demons, most of which were in line with human aesthetics...

Some he knew, some he didn't.

It is worth mentioning that he never found Pava and the culprit of all this, Makima.

Hayakawa Akira has his own residence in the palace, and his personal freedom is not restricted.

Some say, this treatment is even several times higher than when he was alive.

There would be no cold, no hunger, and no pain. If he hadn't left the palace and seen distorted, weird and absurd scenes, Hayakawa Akira must have thought that this was the paradise described in major religious texts.

Since there was nothing else to do except cooking, Hayakawa Akira chose his favorite painting as a pastime in his free time.

He didn't know how many pictures he had drawn.

Every time I finished painting, I would throw it away. As time went by, the space I was in was completely filled with paintings.

Among them, the character he painted the most is a short-haired woman wearing an eyepatch...

Hayakawa Akira didn't know if they would have a chance to meet again.

…

…

Hayakawa Qiu felt like he had a very, very long dream.

In the dream, he couldn't tell the passage of time or the alternation of black and white.

But when he woke up again.

What catches the eye is the extremely familiar ceiling.

"here it is?"

For a moment, Hayakawa Qiu was in a trance.

This is...the "home" that I have been away from for a long time.

Stretching out his hand to touch it, he was surprised to find that his skin seemed to be a bit whiter than he remembered, and the scars on the back of his hands and the calluses on the tiger's mouth were gone.

"What's going on?" Hayakawa Qiu couldn't help but wonder.

At this moment, a familiar figure pushed open the door and entered.

Seeing Hayakawa Qiu who was awake in the bedroom, she was slightly startled.

Approaching tremblingly, she hugged Hayakawa Akira.

That's what it feels like.

It’s been such a long time…

Hayakawa Akira subconsciously said: "Himeno?"

As soon as he said the other person's name, Hayakawa Akira's lips were blocked by Himeno.

She had been waiting for this kiss for too long.

Jiye's love is so strong.

It seems that he wants to vent all the grievances he has suffered over the years at this moment.

In the end, Hayakawa Akira's lips were numb from the kiss...

After a long time, the lips parted.

Hayakawa Qiuhou realized it later and said to himself: "No, why did I see Himeno?"

With tears in his eyes, Himeno stared into Hayakawa Akira's eyes and said softly: "Welcome back, Akira."

After saying that, he hugged Hayakawa Qiu, hugging him very tightly, and his tears soaked his lover's back.

Hayakawa Akira was confused.

It feels very happy to be hugged.

But he was afraid, afraid that everything in front of him was an illusion.

"I..." Hayakawa Qiu opened his mouth.

Himeno seemed to have guessed what Hayakawa Qiu was thinking, and looked at him gently, "Let that boy Denji tell you the specific situation in person, he will be back soon."

Electricity times?

Hayakawa Qiu's heart moved.

A guess gradually emerged in my mind.

…

…

The world has become different.

People's faces were filled with happy smiles that they had never seen before.

Hayakawa Akira took a deep breath and silently felt the atmosphere around him. Unconsciously, the corners of his mouth also raised slightly.

There are far fewer demons.

The concept corresponding to it has also completely disappeared.

Human beings no longer have to worry as before, and life is getting better and better.

And all of this is thanks to the unknown hero - the hero who always appears amidst the noise and roar.

Denji is no longer the same as before.

From an ignorant young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, he became a reliable young man about the same age as Hayakawa Akira.

Although he still looked so heartless, Hayakawa Akira saw traces of "maturity" in the other party's eyes.

"Long time no see, braided man -" Denji grinned, showing a mouth full of shark-like fangs.

Hayakawa Qiu pursed his lips and asked, "You made a deal with the Lord of the Abyss to resurrect me?"

"Yes, isn't this obvious? Back then, without saying a word, you wanted to kill Machima by sacrificing yourself, leaving Leise and I in hell.

If it hadn't been for chance, we almost wouldn't have been able to come back, do you know? "

Denji patted Hayakawa Qiu's shoulder, "You've been sleeping for 10 years. Hey, look, I'm taller than you now."

This is true.

Because the resurrection method chosen by Denji is to re-cultivate Akira Hayakawa from a single cell, and then let Hayakawa Akira's soul directly enter the ready-made body after the cultivation reaches a certain level.

So theoretically, he should now be considered Hayakawa Akira's...father?

At least he's an adoptive father.

Hayakawa Qiu's heart was extremely complicated. He was grateful, but also had many things to say and was unhappy with.

Just as he was about to speak, a little girl with two horns ran over and said, "Did the braided man finally wake up? I told you, he must have been sleeping for too long."

This voice!

Hayakawa Qiu suddenly turned his head.

But not far away, I saw a little girl with her hands on her waist, standing in front of Denji carelessly, "What are you looking at? Don't you recognize me?"

"Pava, you are also resurrected." Hayakawa Qiu's joy was beyond words.

Denji poked his nose, "This fool woke up earlier than you. Of course, the price is lower than you. It only takes 347 demon souls to redeem it."

Using the devil's soul as a bargaining chip in exchange for the resurrection of his friends was the inspiration Denji got from the 'Pochita Incident'.

He worked hard for 10 years and finally reunited his family.

Hayakawa Akira took a deep breath and solemnly said 'thank you' to Denji.

Himeno held Hayakawa Akira's hand and bowed to Denji as well.

Denji waved his hands repeatedly, "Oh, what are you doing? Without you, I wouldn't be hunting demons. Don't get me wrong, resurrecting you is just incidental. No need to thank me."

The conversation changed, "Of course, if you insist on thanking me, you can help me. Let's kill the gun demon together!"

Denci, who returned from hell, has grown a lot. He is not as overjoyed as before, but based on reality, hunting down weak demons bit by bit.

After these years of nourishment, the external environment has become relatively stable, and various countries have resumed their traditional repertoire and begun to fight among themselves.

With constant friction, the power of the Gun Demon gradually revives, and he is always on the verge of resurrection.

However, Denji is very confident that with the help of Pava and Hayakawa Akira, he will be able to completely kill the big guy.

He firmly believes that the three of them are invincible together!

Moreover, the Gun Demon is also related to Pochita's return from the abyss, so Dentsu must do it.

Faced with this request, Hayakawa Qiu did not refuse.

Even after ten years of sinking in the abyss, he could not forget his hatred for the Gun Demon, but he still asked cautiously: "When you say "we", do you mean us and Lesai?" "

"Speaking of Lesse, she is in great shape now." Himeno interjected at the right time: "Denji's girlfriend is now the person in charge of the New Anti-Demon Special Course. You know, the same person who used to be Kujo Yikawa and Watanabe Reiko A new name for that organization.”

Back then, Machima sacrificed the souls of all the slaves, including most of the members of the Anti-Demon Special Course that she secretly controlled.

When Denci and Lesai returned to the human world and returned to their familiar unit, they found that the place had become almost empty, and many familiar people had left forever...

Fortunately, a small number of members such as Jiye and Xiaohong who were on duty outside did not encounter the vicious hands of Makima, which allowed the anti-demon class to retain a glimmer of hope.

Afterwards, the organizations of Kujo Yoriikawa and Watanabe Reiko, who died before leaving the army, stood up.

Relying on the power of the "abyss", they frequently attacked the increasingly rampant demons, and finally restored social order to stability.

Lesai also completely abandoned her identity as an assassin in the former Soviet Union, reintegrated into society, and became active in large and small anti-demon wars, becoming the person in charge of the new Anti-Demon Special Course.

After hearing this, Qiu Hayakawa unconsciously thought of the two 'indomitable fighters' who died in the hands of Machima, and nodded slightly, "I understand, from now on, we will be together."

As he said that, he smiled and said, "After lying down for so many years, it's time to move around."

After hearing this, Denci also smiled brightly and said, "Well, welcome back!"

Hayakawa Qiu was silent for a moment and said softly: "Well, I'm back."

Ten years apart, the two hands held each other again.

What they didn't know was that in the blind spot of everyone's sight, a black cat leisurely licked its paws and then stretched.

"A perfect ending, so happy and congratulatory, meow~"
