The bloody hand Mary of the pirate

"Cold... so cold..."

The bone-chilling chill seemed to be constantly seeping into Mary's bone marrow and into her deepest soul.

A breathing sound appeared, accompanied by the heartbeat of the world's newborn.

Mary opened her eyes suddenly.

She was lying in the dark water, and the endless cold air slowly seeped into her bones from the water.

"here it is……"

Mary stood up from the water in confusion.

As soon as she moved, she felt that something was wrong with her body.

——Too weak.

This time she was weak in the true sense, just like when she first traveled to the world of One Piece.

Her hands were powerless and her breathing was very laborious. Moreover, all her abilities had disappeared.

She couldn't feel the extremely strong vitality in her body, nor could she feel the feeling of controlling the blood at will.

Even the pair of demon eyes on her forehead, which she was very uncomfortable with, disappeared at this moment.

"...It's such a nostalgic feeling." Mary looked down at her slender arms and murmured.

The feeling of ordinary people.

After confirming her physical condition, Mary raised her head and looked around.

The black water is endless, not deep, only submerged up to the calf. But this pitch black water is extremely cold.

And in the endless black water, ruins are everywhere.

There are broken walls everywhere, and the old rocks are covered with thick moss, giving off a musty smell.

Classical and dilapidated furniture lay crookedly in the water.

The broken wall clock, the disabled puppet, the rusty cross sword, everything smells old and abandoned.

The sky was completely dark, without a trace of light or color. An unknown light source illuminated the entire world.

In the distance, the mist is getting heavier. Hundreds of meters away, everything is submerged in the blue-gray mist, as if it has been swallowed by an unknown giant beast.

"Where is this place..."

Mary was completely overwhelmed by the strange and shocking sight before her.

After she traveled through time, all her decisions were based on her understanding of the original work. So no matter what happened, she had certain coping methods to avoid panicking.

However, the scene in front of her was a scene she had never seen before. She had no impression of it in her mind.

The unknown is the scariest thing.

"Click, click."

Mary heard the sound of treading water behind her.

She was so frightened that she immediately looked back and saw a familiar face appearing in front of her eyes.

"...Dasqi?"

The shock in Mary's heart was indescribable. Her eyes kept changing, a mixture of fear, confusion and confusion.

what is happening……

Standing in front of Mary was Dusky, her expression was numb and her eyes were empty, like a doll that had lost its soul.

Mary subconsciously reached out to touch her. Suddenly, Dasqi's figure turned into fragments and turned into white stardust, scattering all over the sky.

"..."

Mary froze there for a moment, at a loss.

After a while, Mary clutched her head frantically.

"Ahhhhhhh-where is this!?"

"Ding dong..."

There was a crisp sound of water droplets, as if a light body fell on the water.

A light and lonely breath came from behind.

"This is your mental world."

A young voice appeared.

"who!"

Mary immediately turned around in shock and subconsciously wanted to assume a fighting stance. However, she forgot that her physical fitness at this time was not even as good as that of ordinary people.

When I turned around, I used too much force and lost my balance, causing me to fall into the water.

"Ahem!"

Mary coughed painfully. A small hand stretched out to her.

Mary looked at the person in front of her.

A thin and petite little girl with pure eyes and long black hair.

The faded little white dress looked quite thin, making the little girl look increasingly frail.

"Hello, I'm Xi." The little girl seemed to smile with difficulty, "Sister, it's our first time meeting you."

Mary was stunned for a moment and immediately realized who Xi was.

"Are you...Furuhe Xi?"

Mary stretched out her hand and asked suspiciously as Xi pulled her up.

"Yes, sister." Xi tilted her head and smiled at Mary.

"Wait, why did you call me sister?"

Mary suddenly grasped a certain point.

"Because I have a crush on you, sister." Xi smiled shyly, "Although I don't know how I got here, I felt very happy when I saw you."

"So I think, sister, you are not a bad person."

Xi smiled innocently.

"Ah," Mary reacted reluctantly, "So you just have a crush on me..."

After reviewing the current situation, Mary had an idea in her mind.

Her previous battle was approved by Garp, and the third phase of the mission was completed by herself.

As for Xi, perhaps because of his particularity as a character, he appeared directly.

And he was knocked unconscious by Garp's attack on Black Dragon Wave. But by chance, Xi had already entered his own mental world at this time.

After he lost consciousness, he came here by chance.

After all, the system also explained that after obtaining the character Xi, you can freely enter and exit the world of mental images.

only……

"Why is my mental world like this?"

This is also what puzzles Mary the most.

The world in this article is desolate, cold, broken, and full of the feeling of death and decay.

To be fair, Mary, who had been killed softly, did not think she was very sunny, but no matter what, she should not be in such a dead mental world.

It's not like I have any death wish.

Even if her mental image of the world was a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, Mary could accept it, but the strange place in front of her really made her a little confused.

"Everything is in vain..." Xi looked around and said, "Actually, it's not bad."

"Where I lived before, there weren't so many things."

Xi smiled naturally, but Mary was a little silent after hearing this.

She has tried clannad’s original anime and games, so she naturally knows what the fantasy world looks like.

It was really lonely and lonely, with nothing in the vast wilderness.

Some are just scattered ruins, even more desolate than here.

"Sister, your mental world has been destroyed before..."

Xi suddenly said, "This place should have been very prosperous."

"Ah?" Mary was stunned, "But I don't have anything special...that makes me collapse."

She usually complains, but you said she collapsed so much that it felt like the world collapsed in her mind...it doesn't seem to have happened.

Xi stopped talking and started trotting around.

Mary was worried that she would get lost, so she hurriedly followed her.

The fog in the mental world became heavier and heavier. Mary was exhausted and was slowly pushed away by Xi.

"This damn body..." Mary gritted her teeth and cursed, "Xi, slow down, I can't keep up!"

Xi's footsteps stopped, and Mary seemed to hear Xi's voice from a distance.

"The fog is getting thicker and thicker, sister, you have to go back..."

Xi's voice became more and more distant.

Mary was just stunned to understand what she meant.

"Are you going to wake up?" Mary shook her head, "Then I'll come visit you next time when I'm free."

"Well, bye, sister!"

Xi's voice was almost inaudible.

And the moment Xi finished speaking, Mary suddenly thought of something.

Something that confused her from the beginning.

"Wait..." As soon as Mary stretched out her hand, her vision began to turn white.

"...What happened to Dasqi..."

Her voice also disappeared into this mental world.

"call!"

Mary suddenly sat up from the hospital bed, startling the nurse who was still dispensing medicine.

Mary, who had just woken up, obviously hadn't come back to her senses yet, sitting in a daze on the hospital bed.

The nurse patted her chest on the side to calm her frightened mood, then walked up to Mary and asked:

"Are you awake? How do you feel? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Mary was in a daze for a long time, then stretched out her hand and made a fist.

That huge sense of power filled her body again.

Although she had only lost a moment, Mary felt as if several years had passed.

"Sure enough, power is addictive."

Mary said to herself.

Then, while the nurse was still worried about Mary's health, Mary suddenly jumped out of the hospital bed.

Seeing that her military uniforms were all hanging on the hangers on the side, Mary didn't think too much and quickly took off her hospital gown and put on her pitch-black military uniform.

The nurse on the side was stunned by this resolute attitude.

After finishing dressing, Mary put on her military cap and clicked it hard.

Suddenly, her heart sank.

It's over.

She thought of a big question.

Have I exposed...the third eye...

Mary thought with a headache.

Alas, forget it, the soldiers will come to cover up the water and earth.

After all, things like the magic eye would eventually be exposed one day. During the fierce battle, she was not sure that she would be able to keep her eye unnoticed.

It was just a matter of time, and now that it was exposed... To be honest, Mary wasn't too upset about this matter.

It's just a little more trouble.

With a clear mind, Mary exhaled a breath, and then realized that she had been ignoring the nurse.

So, Mary turned back and showed a polite and elegant smile.

"Thank you for taking care of me. I'm fine now."

After that, he opened the door of the ward and left gracefully.

The nurse looked blankly at Mary who was striding away, and the two bright red words "Justice" on the back of her cloak.

Suddenly he blushed.

She hurriedly turned her head to clean up the room, trying to suppress her suddenly agitated thoughts.

'Ah - why do you think she is so handsome...'

Mary's lust is charming, and it seems to be slowly turning into a passive skill.

…

Mary knew that she was on a ship now, and the feel of her feet and the material of the surrounding walls told her this.

Walking in the cabin, Mary turned on the system as she walked.

"System, I need to know some details. For example, what is the attitude of the characters recruited by the recruitment system toward me?"

This issue is very important and is what Mary is most concerned about.

After meeting Xi, Mary realized that unlike the redeemed props and skills, characters had their own consciousness.

They cannot be completely controlled by themselves like skills and items!

After the system encounters a problem, relevant instructions will be displayed immediately.

[Characters summoned by the system have full favorability towards the host by default.]

[Full favorability means that when the host does not directly threaten the character's life, it will not threaten the host in any sense, will not lose favorability, and will not reduce favorability due to beliefs and character. 】

[The host will automatically be assigned an identity that is relatively reasonable for the summoned character, so that the summoned character will not disobey the host's instructions in most cases. ]

[It should be noted that if the host directly threatens the life safety of the summoned character, the summoned character's favorability towards the host will be reduced. When its favorability towards the host is reduced to a certain level, he will no longer exist as one of our personnel. ]

[As our personnel, their relevant information can be viewed in the relevant interface of the recruitment system. 】

After browsing the instructions, Mary realized that she still knew too little about the system.

This was the first time she knew that she could at least view information about the summoned person.

"Well, let me see who are our own characters now."
