Pirate Bloody Hand Mary

The restoration work in Alabasta has been going on for decades, and with the full support of the new government, it is beginning to bear fruit.

At least, the coastal areas of Alabasta have gradually restored their ecology, and it is even better than before.

In the past, almost all of Alabasta was desert, but now it is lush green from the coast to dozens of kilometers inland. Of course, the contribution of Devil Fruit users is also indispensable.

After all, this is the hometown of Neferutali Vivi, one of the first two vice-chairmen of the new government, and the new government has paid enough attention to the restoration work here.

However, there are still not many people living here permanently. After all, although the green space is not small, almost all the original aborigines here have new homes elsewhere, and the sea travelers who travel everywhere will not stay in one place for too long. Therefore, apart from a few port trading cities, there are only some small villages scattered inland.

Today, in the small village, a stranger from the outer sea came.

A mysterious man in a cloak was walking on the field outside the village, looking around constantly.

The rapeseed field spreads for thousands of meters, with endless golden fields, and it suddenly feels like you are in a desert. To be able to cultivate such a landscape, the people who farm are somewhat capable.

The mysterious man walked along the road to the end of the village and took out a small piece of life paper from his arms.

The life paper pointed out the direction for her, and she walked to a remote courtyard in the corner of the village.

The courtyard door was not closed, so she stepped in directly.

There was no one in the courtyard, and the ground was quite clean. There is a tree in the courtyard and a stone table under the tree.

It looks like someone will be cleaning this place.

After observing the yard for a while, she walked to the house and gently opened the door.

The door was not locked either.

The mysterious man paused for a moment, closed the door, and started walking from room to room.

After entering the bedroom, there is a curtain wrapped around the bed in the bedroom.

She carefully opened the curtain, and a skinny old man with long white hair was lying on the bed.

The old man's eyes were closed as if asleep.

She stood by the bed and looked at the old man without saying a word.

After standing there for an unknown amount of time, the old man finally opened his eyes as if he had woken up.

When he saw a mysterious man standing next to his bed, the old man didn't panic and just looked at her quietly.

The mysterious man took off his cloak, revealing his long golden hair.

"it's me."

She sat on the edge of the bed and touched the old man's forehead.

"It's me, Mary Vinicius."

"Long time no see, Weiwei. When was the last time we met?"

Mary thought for a moment and then said: "By the way, when you retired about ten years ago, I came to see you specifically."

"..."

Weiwei, who had not spoken since the beginning, finally spoke.

"You...look..."

"Yes, sixty or seventy years have passed, haha, my appearance has not changed much."

Mary put her hand on Weiwei's hand and gently stroked the old skin.

"There's nothing I can do about it. My body will look like this until I die...I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky."

Weiwei smiled hard. She said it was a smile, but now she could only pull the corners of her mouth slightly.

Taking a breath, her lips moved.

"……Welcome home……"

Mary was stunned for a moment.

She soon realized that this was a place that had been rebuilt after being destroyed.

And if her current village were in the old times... it would be a rainy land.

Decades ago, Rainland was given to Mary by Weiwei as a fief when she was knighted.

And this is also one of the few places in this world where Mary can find a home.

"...Yeah, I'm back."

Mary sighed softly.

After saying this, Mary closed her mouth.

Weiwei stopped talking and just looked at Mary.

After a long time, her eyes gradually moved to the ceiling.

She slowly turned over her hand that was covered by Mary, and shook Mary's hand.

After an unknown amount of time passed, Weiwei slowly closed her eyes.

She seemed to be asleep again.

"You are indeed old. When people get old, they want to sleep..."

Seeing this, Mary smiled and shook her head.

She stood up and took off her cloak completely, revealing her dark military uniform.

Then, she took off the cloak of justice behind her military uniform and slowly covered it on Weiwei's quilt.

Mary whispered: "Then, I'm leaving."

Weiwei seemed to have really fallen asleep and did not answer her.

Mary looked at her for a moment longer.

…

When Mary returned to the village entrance, the sky was already dark.

I didn't expect to stay in there for so long.

Mary looked at the sky that had been dyed red by the sunset and sighed slightly.

"Excuse me...this sister."

Suddenly, a child ran out of the village, looked at Mary and asked, "Did you just go to Grandma Dahai's place?"

"Grandma Dahai?"

Mary was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, Grandma Dahai." The child nodded seriously, "When Grandma Dahai first came here, her hair was blue. So we all called her Grandma Dahai."

"Oh..." Mary nodded, "Well, I am indeed here to see Grandma Dahai."

"Then sister, can you tell me what happened to Granny Dahai?"

The child quickly asked: "My mother-in-law used to sit at the door of the courtyard every day and tell us stories. We haven't seen my mother-in-law for a long time..."

Mary touched the child who looked a little depressed and said with a smile: "It's okay, my mother-in-law is just tired and wants to rest."

After that, she asked: "What stories does my mother-in-law usually tell you?"

"Let me think about it..."

The child frowned and tried to remember.

…

【Once upon a time, there was a princess. Her country was invaded by thieves, and she left her homeland to find a way to save her country. 】

[One day, she met another girl on the sea. The princess took the little girl who was alone in the sea back to her residence. 】

Mary walked on the field ridge, and the rapeseed flowers around her were dancing in the wind.

[That night, the younger girl rescued the princess like a hero and promised to help her defeat the thief who forced her to flee. 】

[The princess and the hero returned to the princess's country together. 】

[The two were attacked by thieves. The hero fought against the thieves alone to protect the princess, while the princess went to find help from others. 】

Mary's footsteps stopped and she looked back at the village behind her.

[The princess's experience made many people sympathize, and the hero's battle became an example for many people. Thousands of people came to the princess and fought against the thieves together. 】

[In the end, the hero survived the desperate situation, returned to the princess, and defeated the thief with his own hands. 】

The wind became stronger and stronger, and the petals of the rapeseed flowers were blown away from the branches and began to flutter in the wind.

Goose-yellow petals danced all over the sky under the warm red sunset, shrouding Mary's figure.

[The princess became the queen. In order to repay the hero, she gave him the fief of the country. 】

[After the hero left Alabasta, the queen governed her country conscientiously. 】

[However, her troubled country was later attacked by another wave of thieves. 】

The night wind was slightly chilly, and Mary narrowed her eyes.

In the sky behind the village, the burning sunset glow spread to the top of the village.

[Just when the country was about to fall again, the hero appeared again and stopped the thieves. 】

[This time, the queen is no longer a princess who can only stand behind the hero, but works hard to cooperate with the hero's actions. Finally, the hero defeated the thief again. 】

[After this, before the queen could thank the hero, the hero left in a hurry. 】

Mary took the paper of life out of her pocket.

Looking at the yellowed and wrinkled life paper, she was silent.

[After a long, long time, there were no major problems in the Queen’s country. But suddenly one day, the queen's country suddenly suffered a devastating destruction, and this time the hero did not appear. 】

[The queen inquired about the situation everywhere, and then she realized that it was the hero who was in trouble this time, and the queen's country was implicated because of the hero. 】

[So kids, what should the queen do at this time? 】

Mary looked at the paper of life in her hand, and saw that a corner of the paper suddenly began to burn.

Little by little, the paper of life began to slowly turn into fly ash.

[The Queen chose to help the hero. She stood by the hero's side and fought with her against that powerful enemy. 】

[This enemy is much stronger than the two thieves encountered before, but the queen is no longer as cowardly as before. In the end, together with many partners, they defeated this unprecedentedly powerful enemy. 】

[This is the story of the establishment of our current country...]

This is the story between Mary and Vivi.

"call……"

Finally, the paper of life in Mary's hand completely turned into ashes.

In the wind, after a squeaking sound, it disappeared without a trace.

Mary's clenched fingers opened slightly, but there was nothing in them.

"..."

She opened her lips slightly.

'We will reach our destination soon, Mary. ’

'I need...please, help me...'

‘You need someone to lead the way. Do you know how to get to the rainy place? ’

‘My name is Nefertari Vivi, and as the 13th king and first queen of Alabasta, I declare full-scale war on Baroque Studio and its leader, Crocodile! ’

'I know you will definitely come back...'

‘You can be more proud of it. ’

‘Your Majesty Mary, how about this surprise? ’

‘Send all personnel and immediately move the people in the city to the east, west and north gates. ’

‘I want to help the Revolutionary Army build momentum so that the Revolutionary Army can become the official force of the Desert United and have the name to compete with the world government. ’

‘Let her carry out her justice, liberate more and more of [Alabasta], and build a [just] world for everyone, and for herself. ’

‘Your Excellency Mary...will you...die? ’

‘Alabasta has been completely destroyed and has become a barren land. ’

‘You guy… you’ve been gone for more than half a year, it’s so easy! ’

‘Do I have to leave? ’

‘It doesn’t matter to me, just leave the People’s United to me. ’

"..."

"Cough, cough..."

Mary coughed twice and gritted her teeth.

Her hands were clenched fiercely on her chest.

"Cry if you want to."

Attila had stood behind Mary a few minutes ago, and had been looking at Mary in a daze.

And Mary didn't notice him.

"Among the comrades who fought side by side with you, is she the last one?"

Attila looked deeply at the village in the distance.

"Your last best friend has passed away, and there is nothing that can make you sad anymore."

"If you want to cry, this is your last chance."

"..."

Mary remained silent.

Attila looked at Mary's back and sighed quietly.

"I also cried when Christie passed away. I don't think it is a shameful thing..."

"But if you care, I'll stay away."

"I'll wait for you at the port."

After that, he strode away.

Mary listened as his footsteps faded away.

The wind whistled, and the petals gradually blurred her sight.

"..."

"'I will still take a good look at you'..."

Her eyes narrowed, and she seemed to be afraid of the wind at some point.

"Ah, I look at you, you are all doing well..."

"Now, you don't need me to take care of you anymore."

"..."

【Why are you crying? 】

When Coleman died, she didn't cry.

She didn't cry when Saint Edwyd died.

When Gabriel died, she didn't cry.

When Enxia died, she didn't cry.

Zefa, Smoker, Paul, Ashe...she didn't cry when they left.

She went to every funeral but never showed up.

Just standing in the corner of the crowd, wearing a black robe, quietly watching another person leave.

As Attila said, among the comrades she once fought alongside, Weiwei was the last one.

She would not cry. She had long been numb to the pain. Even if there was severe pain in her heart, it would be difficult for her to feel anything at all.

But she will cry.

She looked up at the sunset, her clothes wet with tears, and the sunset silently dyed her hair red.

A mist seemed to rise in the air, gradually covering the sky and the earth.

The golden color of rapeseed flowers blends with the orange-red color of the setting sun, and the petals flying all over the sky are like shooting stars.

Smoker and Dusky were the first two people he met in this world.

One sent all his two descendants to the headquarters, but he died alone in the East China Sea; the other fought for justice all his life, and chose to end quietly after all the battles were over.

"Yan Shangzhang!"

Ace's move was used in both Alabasta and Marinevando. Once alongside her, once against her.

"I am your future instructor and Smog and Tina's teacher, Zefa."

Teacher Zefa is a warrior who has a vital influence on shaping his concept of justice. Even when he was old and weak, he still fought bravely and stood up for his beliefs throughout his life.

"No traffic allowed here!"

Coleman's sword fell on the ground of Impel Down City, cutting off his own future and all possibilities of the spread of sin.

He kept his promise to Mary.

"As a Celestial Dragon, I order you to commit suicide."

If Mary had to name a world noble who best suited her ideal image of a noble, her answer would definitely be Saint Edwine.

Humility, confidence, gentleness, toughness, calmness, intelligence, decisiveness, having both magnanimity and sufficient vision. Carrying guilt and burying his bones in the deep sea, did he ever have any regrets?

"I will never betray you and my lord, never. Even if I die."

Gabriel fulfilled his promise and stole countless important confidential information within the World Government as a spy. Even after his head was beheaded, he still endured unimaginable pain to completely draw the structure of Pangu City.

"It's time to put your skills to the test!"

Nxia's crazy shrill laughter seemed to still be echoing in her ears. Mary always felt that if she had to choose one lunatic among the six people, it would be Nxia. But this madman's madness isn't a bad thing.

Ashe and Paul, one is a social person and the other is gloomy, both are taciturn people. One is deeply trapped in the shadow of war, and the other is afraid of the unknown.

Fortunately, they all had a good ending in the end. One became the warden of Impel Down, and the other reunited with his past family.

Figures appeared in front of Mary's eyes, patted her on the shoulder, and then walked past her silently.

That time filled with blood and fire was so brief that it was so insignificant, yet so heavy to her.

One life ends here and another life begins.

This is the first and last time.

Only this one time.

She stood alone on the field ridge, letting the wind flap the petals against her body.

"It's been a long journey, everyone..."

"It's been so many years since I've passed, and I wonder when we will see each other again..."

She raised her head, her tears quickly drying up in the wind and being taken away by the petals.

"I will always stay here..."

…

Several decades or even hundreds of years have passed. I don’t know when, but the strange power in the sea suddenly disappeared.

Weird powers such as Haki and Devil Fruit seemed to disappear from people's lives overnight.

When these powers just disappeared, there was quite a commotion on the sea. But this small unrest was quickly suppressed by the government.

The new government seemed well prepared for this situation. After quelling some riots, it almost seamlessly switched to a new political system. It's amazing.

Nowadays, magical things like Devil Fruit and Haki have become legends, and a new generation of children are beginning to think that they are just things made up by adults to deceive children.

Only the older generation who have actually seen those abilities know that those powers really existed.

But even so, they probably don't care anymore. After all, what's the use of dwelling on something that's already gone?

On the seaside of a small island in the New World, a little boy was sitting on the pier fishing.

The fishing bucket next to the little boy was empty. Apparently he had been in the air force all day.

Seeing that it was already dark and the moon was almost reaching the center of the sky, the boy could only sigh and stand up.

It seems like another fruitless day.

And just as he was about to finish his pole, he suddenly saw a blond girl walking past him and heading towards a boat.

He quickly shouted:

"That sister..."

The blonde girl paused in her steps, turned to look at him, and pointed at herself.

"I?"

"Yes, that's you."

The boy nodded and said, "Sister, what do you want to do?"

"I want to go to sea."

The eldest sister said seriously.

"Huh? Huh?" The boy was obviously a little confused, "Sister, you... are going to sea alone?"

"Of course." The blonde girl said matter-of-factly.

"So, um, eldest sister, where are your family members?"

The boy asked, looking at the girl.

It's normal to ask this, the girl doesn't look much older than him.

When he goes to sea, his family must accompany him!

"Don't underestimate me, little brother." The girl said, tapping the boy's forehead with her finger. "Sister, I am an adult and can go to sea alone. I originally came here alone. Now it is not very convenient to leave alone. Is it normal?"

"Is that so?" the boy murmured, easily believing the girl's words: "But it's dark now, so there's no need to be so anxious about going to sea, right? The sea at night is very dangerous."

"You're telling me, I don't have a place to live here." The girl shook her head, "Besides, I just came here to do some errands."

After that, she turned to look at a mountain peak on the island and said in a deep tone: "Come and send an old guy home..."

The boy didn't understand Mary's words, but he still said based on his instinctive intuition:

"But you can't see anything in the sea at night. This is a new world, and the wind and waves are strong..."

"Sister is not afraid of these things."

The girl waved her hand, then looked at the boy with a smile and said: "Tell you a secret, sister, I am..."

"Wow!"

Before he finished speaking, a small wave suddenly appeared on the sea.

The boy was stunned for a moment and immediately grabbed the fishing rod.

"I'm hooked! I'm hooked!"

"..."

"Hey, hey, this fish is so big..."

Seeing that the boy was unable to pull the fish up even with all his strength, and even seemed to be about to be pulled into the sea by the fish, the girl sighed helplessly.

She stretched out her hand and grabbed the boy's fishing rod, giving it a strong force.

A big fish over half a meter long was easily pulled up and smashed onto the pier.

The boy also sat down on the dock.

Looking at the big fish flapping desperately, the boy swallowed, and then looked at the girl who looked relaxed and clapped her hands.

"This is really a big fish. Take it back and show it to your parents."

The girl grinned and patted the boy on the shoulder.

The boy was startled, quickly got up and put the fish away, thanked the girl, and ran to the fishing village excitedly.

Halfway through, he suddenly stopped as if he remembered something, turned around and said:

"By the way, big sister, what do you think you are... eh?"

Looking at the empty dock, the boy tilted his head in confusion.

On the sea, a small boat gradually drifted away from the shore with the waves.

This small boat has no sails or oars. It just drifts into the distance with the waves. No one knows where it will go.

"What am I?"

The girl said to herself, then lay down with a chuckle.

"What am I...haha..."

…

There is such a legend circulating on the sea.

Whenever people in a place live in dire straits, there will always be a foreign traveler who comes forward.

He will lead the suffering people to rise up and bring justice and hope to them.

So, when you encounter injustice, when you are suffering, don't be sad or despair.

Live hard and wait.

One day, someone will appear in front of you and reach out to you.

Then, you hear that sentence.

"Come join me and create a new era."
