One Piece: Heart of the Sea

Chapter 5 In

a five-story stone building in the neighboring village, a middle-aged man with a bursy figure is quietly smoking a cigarette.

A scar that ran from the left side of his forehead to his chin was a mark of glory for the man.

"Report!" a soldier's voice rang out outside the door.

"Come in. The man's gloomy voice echoed

in the room, "Yes!" The

soldier pushed the door in, and the low light in the house couldn't help but make him swallow his saliva, but he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said

, "Report, Your Excellency Dazuo, two children were found in the direction of the west gate outside the city, looking about 10 years old, one of them was carrying a white package, and the other was wearing a strange hat with black markings, and the report was completed." The

man flicked the cigarette ash in his hand and pondered for a moment.

"Let them into the city and keep watching. "

Yes!"

After the soldier left the room, he took off his hat, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and exhaled deeply before continuing to walk out.

In the room, the big man extinguished the cigarette in his hand and let out an ugly smile.

"Interesting.

"Luo, this is what you call the neighboring village, this is obviously a fortress, okay?"

Haven asked Luo with a look of disbelief. It's no wonder that Haven asked, this neighboring village actually has a wall! And it's

all made of stone, and it's reinforced with cement, so it is conceivable that even if a cannon hits it, it won't destroy the wall.

The five-meter-high wall enveloped the entire village, and standing in front of the wall, it seemed that Haven and Luo were so small.

There was a small door under the wall, which seemed to be the kind that could only pass through a horse-drawn carriage.

Without much stopping or observing, the two of them went straight through the city gate and entered the village.

"Hey, Haven, do you think it's weird that there's no one on the street. Luo said a little nervously.

Indeed, it is strange that there is no one on the street in a village anyway.

The streets were clean, there was no clutter in front of the door, and even the roof next to it was not dusty, and Haven couldn't help but lift the package on his back.

He took apart the gentian, which was more than two meters long, and no matter how many layers it contained, it would make people feel that it was not a simple thing.

Gentian can be divided into three segments, three segments of equal length, wrap these three segments and carry them on your back, it looks much better.

"yes, it's a little weird quiet. Haven replied.

The two of them walked aimlessly down the street, and Haven always felt that someone was staring at him, but when he looked around, there was nothing but these seemingly unoccupied houses.

After walking for about five minutes, a whistle suddenly came to the ears of the two, which frightened the two of them.

The quiet environment, almost only the footsteps of two people, and the sudden whistle made the two people a little overwhelmed.

After the whistle sounded for more than ten seconds, he didn't mean to stop, and suddenly the door of a house next to him opened, and Haven and Luo looked vigilantly in the direction of the door at the same time.

An old man poked his head out of the doorway.

"Come here, it's too late, hurry up. The old man's voice was a little hurried.

Haven and Luo were a little confused, glanced at each other, and trotted into the house in obedience to the old man's words.

After entering the house, the whistle disappeared, and the old man breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luckily, I called you in before the no-go post. The old man said nonchalantly.

"Forbidden sentinels?" the two looked at each other and saw the blankness in each other's eyes, and then looked at the old man.

"You are from outside the village, I have been in the village for so many years, and I have seen such a big child in the village. The old man turned and walked into the kitchen, "You can't walk around the streets after the whistle blows, and if you don't have any common sense, you can't live in this village." "

Old man, what's the matter with this forbidden sentry, why have you never heard of such a thing before?" Luo asked puzzled.

"Children know so much about what to do, and if they know that the whistle is blowing, they should not go out on the street, and if they violated, they will be arrested. The old man came out of the kitchen, carrying a tray with two loaves of bread and two bowls of soup on it, "Eat something, look at your skinny men, I don't have anything else to entertain you two little ones, old man." "

Thank you, old man. "Influenced by the thousand-year-old etiquette of China, Haiwen was very polite to this old man.

Pulled Luo, who was still thinking next to him, and sat down at the table.

"It's okay, it's okay, I haven't seen outsiders in the village for a long time, after eating, when the ban is over, you can leave the village, this place is not for you." The old man's voice came faintly.

Luo frowned and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Haiwen.

"Okay old sir, thank you for the food. A

child about 6-7 years old came out of the inner room, looking at Haven and Luo a little timid.

"Haha, hello, little sister. Haven put down his bread and greeted the little girl.

But the little girl was a little frightened, as if she had never seen much of the living, ran to the old man's side, and hugged the old man's thigh.

Seeing this, Haiwen could only scratch his head in embarrassment and look at the old man apologetically.

"Hehehe, this is my granddaughter of the old man, and I haven't seen much outsiders. He touched her head.

"Brother, are you from outside the village?" asked the little girl timidly.

The old man did not interrupt the little girl's curiosity, but just stroked her head quietly, because he was also full of curiosity about the outside world now.

Haven smiled, "I don't know what the outside world is like, you ask him, and he understands everything." Haven pointed at Law.

Luo is a cold little handsome guy in front of outsiders, he doesn't like to talk very much, and he rejects people thousands of miles away, but after all, he is only 10 years old, and he can't help but respond to a little girl who is younger than himself.

"Outside, it's more than war, now there are pirates everywhere, and all the government can do is let the navy increase its crackdown, but there are so many pirates, how can the number of the navy be, besides, the world government and the navy are just wolves in sheep's clothing, and sometimes, it is impossible to distinguish who is a wolf between the navy and the pirates. "

Alas. The old man listened to Luo's words, and couldn't help but sigh heavily, "I didn't expect you to be young, but you can see clearly, it's the old man and I'm clumsy." "

Haiwen realized that something was wrong with the old man from just now, and this so-called forbidden whistle made him feel confused for a while, but he could also find something unusual about it.

"Old man, is there anything unspeakable, can you tell the kid, the kid has a bit of strength, plus my brother is thoughtful, and he can also relieve the worries of the old man. Haven waited for his big, distinctive black eyes to look at the old man.

It seemed that Haiwen's sincere words and eyes moved the old man, and he sat on the chair next to him with his granddaughter in his arms.

The old man didn't speak, but the wrinkles on his face shook slightly, as if he thought of something bad, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Leave the village after eating, it will not be good for you to stay for a long time. And

when he had said that, he opened his mouth no more.
